Luka 14
1 Uso liyiri namong Asabbath, kube ado nanya kilari nmon udia Nafarsayawa alii imonlii, iwadi ncara me chochot.
One day--it was a Sabbath--He was taking a meal at the house of one of the Rulers of the Pharisee party, while they were closely watching Him.
2 Kikane nbun me, umon wa duku awa dinin nkonu nmyi adin nniyu mun kang.
In front of Him was a man suffering from dropsy.
3 Yesu tirino anan nyiru nduka nanya Nayahudawa, nin na Farsayawa, “Iyinna ishin nin nit liyiri Nasabbath, sa babu?”
This led Jesus to ask the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it allowable to cure people on the Sabbath?"
4 Inung so tiik. Ame Yesu minghe a fiyaghe, a woro caang.
They gave Him no answer; so He took hold of the man, cured him, and sent him away.
5 Ame woro nani, “Ghari nanya mine ule na adinin gono sa finna na adio nanya nrijiya nwui Nasabbath na aba du dedei adi natun ba?”
Then He turned to them and said, "Which of you shall have a child or an ox fall into a well on the Sabbath day, and will not immediately lift him out?"
6 Na inung wa yinin ukauwu ghe nite imone ba.
To this they could make no reply.
7 Kubi na Yesu wa yene alenge na ina yicila nani asa ifere niti lisosin ngongong, abelle tinan tigoldo aworo nani,
Then, when He noticed that the invited guests chose the best seats, He used this as an illustration and said to them,
8 “Kubi na iyicilati uduu kiti nbuki nilugma, nauwa so kiti nse ngongon ba, bara sa umon duku na ina yicila ghe na akatinti nin ngongong.
"When any one invites you to a wedding banquet, do not take the best seat, lest perhaps some more honoured guest than you may have been asked,
9 Asa unite nin fe vat ndah, iba woru fi, 'Naci unit ule kitife,' nin ncing uba kpulu idi so kiti kibene.
and the man who invited you both will come and will say to you, 'Make room for this guest,' and then you, ashamed, will move to the lowest place.
10 Asa iyicilafi cang idi so kiti kibene, kube na ulle na ana cila yicilafi ndaa, aba bellin fe, 'Udon nigh dah kiti kidya.' Uba se ngongon kiti nale vat na isosin nan fi.
On the contrary, when you are invited go and take the lowest place, that when your host comes round he may say to you, 'My friend, come up higher.' This will be doing you honour in the presence of all the other guests.
11 Bara vat nlenge na atoltuno liti me iba ghantingh, ame ulenge na aghantina liti me iba toltunghe.”
For whoever uplifts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be uplifted.
12 Yesu tutun woro nnit une na ana yicila ghe, “Kubi na ushiniya ubuki sa imonli, na uwa yicila adondon fe, likura fe, sa anan nimon nacara kupo fe, inung ba kuru iyicila fi, ikpilin in nifi na ubase uduk ba.
Also to His host, who had invited Him, He said, "When you give a breakfast or a dinner, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbours, lest perhaps they should invite you in return and a requital be made you.
13 Asa ubasu ubuki yicila akimon, agurgu aturri nin naduu ana salin nyenju kiti,
But when you entertain, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind;
14 uba se nmari, bara na iwasa ikpilla inafi ba, bara uba se uduk liyirin nfitu nanit alau.”
and you will be blessed, because they have no means of requiting you, but there will be requital for you at the Resurrection of the righteous."
15 Umong na asosin kutebule nin Yesu, lanza ile imone, aworo ghe, “Unan nmariari ulenge na aba su kileo nanya kipin tigoo Kutelle!”
After listening to this teaching, one of His fellow guests said to Him, "Blessed is he who shall feast in God's Kingdom."
16 Ame Yesu woro ghe, “Umon unit wa dinin nbuki udia, ayicila anit gbardang.
"A man once gave a great dinner," replied Jesus, "to which he invited a large number of guests.
17 Na imonli nyini, ayicila anan katuwa kilari me, ato nani ido idi yicila alenge na ana bellin nani, 'Idak, bara ko yang inyini.'
At dinner-time he sent his servant to announce to those who had been invited, "'Come, for things are now ready.'
18 Inug vat nafo itere tinu cizina udasu nin kucikusu, unan nburne woro ghe, 'Meng na seru kunen, nba du ndi yene. Na nbase udake ba.'
"But they all without exception began to excuse themselves. The first told him, "'I have purchased a piece of land, and must of necessity go and look at it. Pray hold me excused.'
19 Umong tutun woro, 'Meng na seru inna ibaba ukashi utaun, ndin cinu udu idi gwada inin. Na meng base udake ba.'
"A second pleaded, "'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and am on my way to try them. Pray hold me excused.'
20 Umon unit woro ghe, 'Meng nasu ilugma ipese, bara nani na nbase udake ba.'
"Another said, "'I am just married. It is impossible for me to come.'
21 Unan katuwa kilare kpilla ada belle Cikilare ile imone. Ale Cikilare kilare nana nayi, abelle unan katuwa my, 'Caan nanya kagbire dedei nan tibau udanin, nakimon, agurgu, a aduu nan naturi.'
"So the servant came and brought these answers to his master, and they stirred his anger. "'Go out quickly,' he said, 'into the streets of the city--the wide ones and the narrow. You will see poor men, and crippled, blind, lame: fetch them all in here.'
22 Unan katuwa woro, 'Cikilari, ile imon na ubelle nsu inin, har nene kiti duku, sa unit.
"Soon the servant reported the result, saying, "'Sir, what you ordered is done, and there is room still.'
23 Cikilare belle unan katuwa me, 'Nuzu udo tibau tididia ukpeshilu nani idak, bara kilari nighe nan kullo.
"'Go out,' replied the master, 'to the high roads and hedge-rows, and compel the people to come in, so that my house may be filled.
24 Bara meng nbellin munu, na umon nanya nalele na iwa burun uyicilu nani dudu imonli nighe ba.'”
For I tell you that not one of those who were invited shall taste my dinner.'"
25 Nene ligozin na nit wa din cin nin ghe, a girtino a woro nani,
On His journey vast crowds attended Him, towards whom He turned and said,
26 wase umong ndaa kiti ning na anari ucef mge, unna nye, uwani nye, nwana nye, ni lime nan nishono - ee, umunu ulai me - na a batina usu gono katwa nin ba.
"If any one is coming to me who does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes and his own life also, he cannot be a disciple of mine.
27 vat inle na a yira kuca nkul nye a dufini ba na awa sa asu gono katwa nin ba.
No one who does not carry his own cross and come after me can be a disciple of mine.
28 Bara ghari nanya mine, ule na a dinin su a kee kilari na aba so a batiza imon ile na aba mulun kewe ayinin sa a nin nimong ile na ama ke kelare mun udu umale anin cizin ba?
"Which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not sit down first and calculate the cost, asking if he has the means to finish it? --
29 Ana nani ba, a wa cizin lituine na a mala ba, vat nle na a yene a ba sisughe,
lest perhaps, when he has laid the foundation and is unable to finish, all who see it shall begin to jeer at him,
30 a beling ule unite na cizin ukee kilari na amala ba.
saying, 'This man began to build, but could not finish.'
31 Sa uyapin agomari, na ama du likum nin mung ugo, na aba so a seru ashawara sa ama yinnu likume nin na nit amoi likure wase uleli ugowe nda nin na nit amoi akutaba?
Or what king, marching to encounter another king in war, does not first sit down and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand men to meet the one who is advancing against him with twenty thousand?
32 Andi na nani ba, aleli anang likume nwadi piit, a taa umong adi foo acara bara iso mang.
If not, while the other is still a long way off, he sends messengers and sues for peace.
33 Bara nanere, vat nanya mine andi na usuna ile imong na udumung ba na uwa sa usoo unam masun iyinu ning ba.
Just as no one of you who does not detach himself from all that belongs to him can be a disciple of mine.
34 Nto caun, bara na misali mamas, mi ba kuru me lawa ntwe tutungha?
"Salt is good: but if even the salt has become tasteless, what will you use to season it?
35 Na mima yitu nin katwa tutung ba, I ma gutunu mining. Ule na adi nin na tuf na a lanza, na a lanza.
Neither for land nor dunghill is it of any use; they throw it away. Listen, every one who has ears to listen with!"
