Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus went into the house of one of the chief of the Pharisees, on the sabbath day, to eat bread, that they watched him.
Jhatokili ligono lya sabato, bho ilota kunyumba kwa mmonga ghwa bhalongosi bha Mafarisayo kulya n'kate, nabhene bhakajha bhakan'chunghuza kwa karibu.
2 And behold, there was a certain man before him that had the dropsy.
Langayi, palongo pa muene ajhele munu ambajhe isumbulibhwa ni uvimbe.
3 And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
Yesu akakota bhataalamu mu sheria sya bhayahudi ni Mafarisayo, “Je, ni halali kumponya ligono lya sabato, au lepi?”
4 But they held their peace. But he taking him, healed him, and sent him away.
Lakini bhene bhajhele kinunu, kwa hiyo Yesu akan'kamula, ni kumponya ni kundeka alotayi.
5 And answering them, he said: Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out, on the sabbath day?
Nimuene akabhajobhela, “Niani kati jha muenga ajhe ni muana au ng'ombi idumbukila mu ligono lya sabato akamfuta lepi kwibhala mara moja?”
6 And they could not answer him to these things.
Bhene bhajhelepi ni uwezo bhwa kuhomesya lijibu kwa mambo agha.
7 And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:
Wakati Yesu agunduili jinsi bhala bhabhaalikibhu kwamba bhachaguili fiti fya heshima, akabhajobhela mfano, akajobha,
8 When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honourable than thou be invited by him:
“Wakati pa mwialikibhwa ni munu pa harusi, usitami mu nafasi sya heshima, kwandabha jhibhwesekana aalikibhu munu ambajhe ndo wakuheshimibhwa nesu kuliko bhebhe.
9 And he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee, Give this man place: and then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place.
Wakati munu jheabhaaliki muenga bhabhele akafikayi, ibeta kujobhela bhebhe, “mpishayi munu ojho nafasi jhe bhebhe,” ni kisha kwa soni wibetakutola nafasi jha mwishu.
10 But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee, cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee.
Lakini bhebhe ukaalikibhwayi, lotayi ukatamayi mahali pa mwishu, ili wakati jhola jhaakualiki akahidayi abhwesiajhi kukujobhela bhebhe, `Rafiki, lotayi palongolo nesu.” Ndipo wibeta kujha uheshimiki mbele jha bhoha bhabhatamili pamonga ni bhebhe pa meza.
11 Because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
Kwandabha khila jhaikikweza iselesibhwa na haikiselesya ikwesibhwa.'
12 And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee.
Yesu kabhele akan'jobhela munu jhaamwaliki,'pawihomesya kyakulya kya pamusi au kimihi, usibihaaliki rafiki zako au bhalongobhu au jamaa bhajhobhi au majirani bha jhabhi matajiri, ili kwamba bhene bhasihidi kukualika ni bhebhe ukakabhe malipo.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind;
Badala jhieke, pawibhomba sherehe, bhaalikayi maskini, filema, fiwete ni fipofu,
14 And thou shalt be blessed, because they have not wherewith to make thee recompense: for recompense shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just.
ni bhebhe wibetakujha kubarikibhwa, kwandabha bhibhwesya lepi kulepa. kwandabha wibeta kulepibhwa mu ufufuo bhwa bhenye.”
15 When one of them that sat at table with him, had heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Wakati mmonga ghwa bhale bhabhatamili pameza pamonga ni Yesu bho apeliki aghu, ni muene akanijobhela, “Abarikibhu jhola jhaibetekulya n'kate mu Ufalme bhwa k'yara!”
16 But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.
Lakini Yesu akan'jobhela, “munu mmonga aandele sherehe mbaha, aaliki bhanu bhamehele.
17 And he sent his servant at the hour of supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come, for now all things are ready.
Wakati sherehe bho ijhe tayari, akandaghisya mtumishi ghwa muene kubhajobhela bhela bhaalikwa, “Muhidayi, kwandabha fenu fyoha fimalili kubhekibhwa tayari.'
18 And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee, hold me excused.
Bhoha, bhakajhanda kus'oma radhi. Wa kwanza akan'jobhela mtumishi, 'Nihemili n'gonda, lazima nilotayi kulilola. Tafadhali unisamee.'
19 And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them: I pray thee, hold me excused.
Na jhongi akajobha, Nihemili Jozi sihanu sya ng'ombi, ni nene nilotakubhajaribu. Tafadhali uniwie radhi.'
20 And another said: I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Ni munu jhongi akajobha, 'Nigegili n'dala, henu nibhwesya lepi kuhida.'
21 And the servant returning, told these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant: Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the feeble, and the blind, and the lame.
Mtumishi akakerebhuka ni kun'jobhela mtumishi ghwa muene,'Lotayi manyata mitaani ni mufichochoro fya miji ukabhaletayi apa maskini, filema, fipofu ni bhalemavu.”
22 And the servant said: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
Mtumishi akajobha, Bwana, aghu gha ulaghisij ghaamali kukhomboka, hata henu nafasi khona.'
23 And the Lord said to the servant: Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Bwana akan'jobhela mtumishi, 'Lotayi mu n'jhela mbaha ni fichochoro na ubhashunitushjajhi bhanu bhajhingilibhu, ili nyumba jha nene jhimemayi.
24 But I say unto you, that none of those men that were invited, shall taste of my supper.
Kwandabha nikabhajobhela, kwabhala bhashaafikibhu kubhwandelu ajhelepi jhaibetakubhonja sherehe jhanene.'
25 And there went great multitudes with him. And turning, he said to them:
Henu umati mbaha bhajhele bhilota pamonga Ni muene, ni muene akageuka ni kubhajobhela,
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
'Kama munu ihida kwa nene ni muene akan'dadila lepi dadi munu, n'dala munu, mwana munu, bhalongo munu bha n'gosi ni n'dala - ndio, ni hata maisha gha muene kabhele -ibhwesya lepi kujhe mwanafunzi ghwa nene.
27 And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Munu akabelayi kuulota msalaba ghwa muene ni kuhida kunyumba jha nene ibhwesyalepi kujha mwanafunzi ghwa nene.
28 For which of you having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down, and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it:
Maana niani kati jhe muenga, ambajhe inoghela kujenga mnara ibeta lepi kutama hoti akadirirajhi gharama kwa mahesabu kama ajhe ni khela kyailonda ili kukamilisya e'lu?
29 Lest, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that see it begin to mock him,
Vinginevyo, baada jha kubheka msingi ni kusindwa kumallisila, bhoha bhabhalolili bhibeta kujhanda kundhihaki.
30 Saying: This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Bhijobha, Munu ojho ajhandi kujenga, ajhelepi ni nghofu sya kumalisya.'
31 Or what king, about to go to make war against another king, doth not first sit down, and think whether he be able, with ten thousand, to meet him that, with twenty thousand, cometh against him?
Au mfalme jholekhu, akalondajhi kulota kukomana ni mfalme jhongi mu vita, ambajhe ibetalepi kutama pasi hoti ni kutola ushauri kuhusu kama ibhwesya, pamonga ni bhanu elfu kumi kutobhana ni mfalme jhongi jha ihida panani pa muene ni bhanu ishirini elfu?
32 Or else, whilst the other is yet afar off, sending an embassy, he desireth conditions of peace.
Na kama naha lepi, wakati jeshi lya bhangi bado lijhe patali, itume balozi kulonda masharti gha amani.
33 So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth, cannot be my disciple.
Kwa hiyo basi, jhejhioha kati jha muenga ambajhe ibetalepi kuleka fyoha fya ajhe nafu, ibhwesyalepi kujha mwanafunzi ghwa nene.
34 Salt is good. But if the salt shall lose its savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
Muinyu unofu, lakini ikajhelajhi jhijhasili ladha jhiake, jinsi jheleku jhibhwesya kujha muinyu kabhele?
35 It is neither profitable for the land nor for the dunghill, but shall be cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Ijhelepi ni matumizi kwa udongo au hata kwa mbolea. jhitaghibhwa patali. Muene jha ajhele ni mb'olokoto na ap'elekayi gha kup'eleka.”
