Luka 14
1 Chiengʼ Sabato moro, kane Yesu odhi chiemo e od ja-Farisai moro marahuma, nobedo kane ingʼiye ahinya.
Then it happened, when He entered the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they were watching Him closely.
2 To e nyime kanyo ne nitie ngʼato mane bur okuodo ngʼute maduongʼ.
And then, there in front of Him was a man who had dropsy!
3 Yesu nopenjo ja-Farisai kod joma olony e chik ni, “En gima owinjore gi chik mondo ochang ngʼato chiengʼ Sabato koso?”
And Jesus reacted by saying to the lawyers and Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
4 To negilingʼ thi. Eka nokawo ngʼatno, nochange kendo noweye odhi.
But they kept silent. So He took hold of him, healed him, and let him go.
5 Eka nopenjogi niya, “Ka ngʼato kuomu nigi wuode kata rwadhe to wuodeno kata rwadheno olwar e soko chiengʼ Sabato, donge diywaye igole oko mana gikanyono?”
Then He addressed them saying, “Which of you, if a son or an ox falls into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?”
6 To ne gionge gima digiwachi.
And they could not answer Him regarding these things.
7 Kane oneno kaka welo yiero kuondegi mag bet moyiedhi, e kar mesa, nogoyonegi ngero kama:
Then He told a parable to those who were invited, having observed how they kept trying for the best places, saying to them:
8 “Ka ngʼato oluongou e nyasi mar kisera to kik ibed e kom moyiedhi, nimar dipo ka ngʼato moro mogen moloyoi oluongi bende.
“Whenever you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not recline in the place of honor, in case someone more honorable than you has been invited by him;
9 Ka en kamano, to ngʼama noluongou ji ariyogi ka, biro wachoni ni, ‘Mi jali komi.’ Kamano eka wiyi nokuodi nyaka inidhi ikaw kom kar bet man chien moloyo.
then he who invited you both will come and say, ‘You, give this man place!’ and then, with shame, you start to take the lowest place.
10 To ka oluongi e nyasi moro mar kisera kamoro to bed mana e kom man chien moloyo, mondo ka ngʼat moluongino obiro to obiro wachoni ni, ‘Osiepna, sudi malo nyime kama berni!’ Kamano iniyud luor e nyim welo weteni duto.
Rather, whenever you are invited, go and recline in the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will have honor in the presence of your fellow guests.
11 Nimar ngʼato angʼata matingʼore malo nodwok piny, to ngʼat madwokore piny notingʼ malo.”
Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 Eka Yesu nowachone ngʼat mane oluongeno niya, “Ka ichiwo chiemb odiechiengʼ kata chiemb otieno, kik iluong mana osiepeni, oweteni kata wedeni, kata jogwengʼu momew, nimar ka itimo kamano, kamoro giniluongi chiengʼ moro, mi gichuli kar luong mane iluongigono.
Then He said directly to His host: “Whenever you give a dinner or a supper, do not invite your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid.
13 To ka iloso nyasi, iluong joma odhier, rangʼonde gi pudhe kod muofni,
But whenever you make a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
14 eka ibiro gwedhoi kata obedo ni ok ginyal chuloi, to nochuli chiengʼ chier mar joma kare.”
and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you—you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
15 Ka achiel kuom jogo mane ni kode e mesa nowinjo ma, nowachone Yesu niya, “Ogwedhi ngʼatno mabiro chiemo e nyasi mar pinyruoth Nyasaye.”
Well when one of the fellow-recliners heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the Kingdom of God!”
16 Yesu nodwoke niya, “Ngʼat moro ne oloso nyasi maduongʼ kendo noluongo welo mangʼeny.
So He said to him: “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many.
17 E kinde mar nyasino nooro jatichne mondo onyisi jogo mane oluongi, ‘Biuru, nikech gik moko duto koro oseikore.’
And at meal time he sent his slave to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, because everything is now ready.’
18 “To giduto machalre negichako wacho weche ma ginyisogo wuon nyasi gimomiyo ok ginyal biro. Ngʼat mokwongo nowacho ni, ‘Koro eka asengʼiewo puodho moro, to nyaka adhi mondo anene. Yie ingʼwon-na.’
But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him: ‘I bought a field, and I need to go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’
19 “Ngʼat machielo nowacho niya, ‘Koro eka angʼiewo rweth pur moromo jok abich, to adwaro dhi mondo atemgi, yie mondo ingʼwon-na.’
Another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’
20 “Eka Jal machielo bende nowacho niya, ‘Eka aa kendo, omiyo ok anyal biro.’
Yet another said, ‘I have married a wife, and so I cannot come.’
21 “Jatich noduogo kendo nowacho wechego ni ruodhe. Eka wuon ot nobedo mager kendo nowacho ni jatichne ni, ‘Wuogi idhi mapiyo e yore madongo kod yore matindo mag dala mondo ikel joma odhier gi rangʼonde, muofni kod pudhe.’
So that slave came and reported these things to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’
22 “Jatich nowacho ni, ‘Jaduongʼ gima nende ichikowa osetim, to pod thuolo nitie.’
And the slave said, ‘Master, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
23 “Eka jaduongʼ nowachone jatichne ni, ‘Wuogi idhiyo oko e akek yore makalo e kind mier kendo luong ji duto mondo gidonji, eka oda opongʼ.
Then the master said to the slave: ‘Go out to the roads and hedges and make people come in, so that my house may be filled.
24 Awachonu ni, onge kata ngʼato achiel kuom jogo mane oluongi manobil chiemba.’”
For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet!’”
25 Ji mangʼeny ne wuotho kod Yesu, eka nolokore irgi mowachonegi niya,
Now large crowds were traveling with Him, and turning He said to them:
26 “Ka ngʼato obiro ira, to ok okwedo wuon-gi kod min-gi kod chiege gi nyithinde, owetene gi nyiminene ee, kata ngimane owuon ok onyal bedo japuonjrena.
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
27 Kendo ngʼato angʼata ma ok otingʼo msalape mondo oluwa ok onyal bedo japuonjrena.
And whoever does not carry his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 “Ka dibed ni achiel kuomu dwaro gero ot. Donge obiro bedo piny mokwongo mondo okwan nengone mondo one ka en gi pesa moromo mar tieke?
“Further, which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and calculate the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
29 Nimar ka oketo mise to ok onyal tieke, ji duto manene biro nyiere,
This so he does not lay a foundation without being able to finish, and all who see it begin to ridicule him,
30 kagiwacho ni, ‘Jali nochako gedo to ok onyal tieko.’
saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’
31 “Kata ka dibed ni ruoth moro dwaro dhiyo e lweny e kinde gi ruoth machielo. Donge mokwongo onego obed piny mondo opar anena ka ji alufu apar ma en-go bende onyalo kedogo gi jal mabiro monje man-gi ji alufu piero ariyo?
“Or what king, going to engage another king in battle, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
32 Ka ok donyal, to obiro oro joote ka pod jal machielo pod ni kuma bor, mondo onyise ni odwaro mondo giwinjre e yor kwe.
And if not, while the other is still far away he sends a delegation and asks for terms for peace.
33 Machalre kamano bende, ngʼato kuomu ma ok oweyo gige duto ok onyal bedo japuonjrena.
“So likewise, any of you who does not renounce all his own possessions cannot be my disciple.
34 “Chumbi ber, to ka ndhathe orumo, ere kaka dimiye obed gi ndhathe kendo?
Salt is good; but should the salt become insipid, with what can it be seasoned?
35 Ok owinjore ne tich lowo kata mana pidh owuoyo, omiyo ipuke oko. “Ngʼat man-gi it mar winjo wach mondo owinji.”
It is fit for neither soil nor fertilizer; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
