Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
Yapitike lochoba lya sabato, pabile kayenda kachake kwa yumo ywa kiongozi wa Mafarisayo lya nkate, nabo babile kabachunguza kwa karibu.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
Linga palo nnongi yake pabile mundu ambaye asuliwae ni iumbe.
3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
Yesu aalokiye ataalamu ba saliya ya Ayahudi ni Mafarisayo, “Buli, ni alali kumponya lichuba lya sabato au bulii?
4 And they held their peace. And he took [him], and healed him, and let him go;
Lakini bembe babi chichi kwa hiyo Yesu atikumkamwa, nikumponya ni kumruhusu ayende zake.
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
Ni ywembe aabakiye, nyai kati yinu ambaye aii na mwana au ngombe atumbukii pa luchii lichuba lya sabato amuuta panja mara yimo?”
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
Bembe babi ni uwezo kwaa wa pia jibu kewa mambo ago.
7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
Yesu pakwipilwe kwamba bachawii itii ya heshima, abakiye mfano, Ngabakiya,
8 When thou art bidden of any [man] to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
Wakati pankokelwa ni mundu kundoa kana utume katika nafasi ya heshima kwasababu iwezekana akokilwe mundu ambaye mwene heshima muno kuliko wenga.
9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
Wakati mundu ywa mkokite mwenga mwaabele paaicha akubakia wenga, “upiyee mundu yo nafasi yako” ni kwa oni watumbwa tola nafasi ya kumwisho.
10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
Lakini wenga mana ukokilwe, uyende ukatame nafasi ya mwisho, linga wakati yulo ywa kukokite manaaichile awecha kukubakiya wenga, “Mbwiga, uyende nnongi, zaidi,” apo wabaa utieshimika nnongi ya boti bautaminabo pameza.
11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
kwa maana kila ywa ikwiya bapakumuuluya ni nywaa iuluya bapa kunkwiya.'
12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor [thy] rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
Yesu kae aabakiye mundu ywankokite, papia chakulya cha mutwe kati au cha kitamwiyo, kana uakoke mabwigalyo au alongo au anunabo au majirani bako matajiri, linga kwamba bembe kana kukoke wenga kwa pata malipo.
13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
Badala yake, paunga sheree wakoke masikini, ilema, iwete ni ipofu.
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Ni wenga wabarikiwa, kwa sababu bawecha kwaa kukulipaa. Kwa maana walipilwa katika ufufuo wa bene haki.”
15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed [is] he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Wakati umo wa balo babatami mezani pamope ni Yesu, payowine ago, ni ywembe aamakiye, Atibarikiwa yolo ywa lyaa nkate katika ufalme wa Nnongo!”
16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
Lakini Yesu aamakiye mundu yumo aandayite sheree ngolo akokite bandu baingi.
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
Wakati sheree paibile tayari, amtumite mmanda wake kuabakia balo babakokilwe, muiche, kwa sababu ile yoti ibekilwe tayari
18 And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
Boti batumbwi luba radhi, ywa kwanza aamakiye mpanga kachi, mbinike nng'unda, lazima niyende nikalibone tafadhali unisamee,'
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
Ni ywenge abayite mbimike jozi tano ya ngombe ni nenga niyenda kuwapaya. Tafadhali uniwie radhi.'
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Ni mundu ywenge kabaya, “nikobike nnwawa, kwa nyoo ngwecha kwaa icha.'
21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. 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 maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
Mmanda kabuya ni kummakiya ngwana wake makowe ago, ngwana mwene nyumba atikasirika atikummakiya mmanda wake, Yenda uoesi mumitaa uichochoro ya mji ukabatole kwango maskini, ilema, ipofu ni babalemile.”
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
Mmanda ngabaya, nwana hago gaulagya gapangilwe ni hata nambiambi balo kui na nafasi.
23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that my house may be filled.
Ngwana ngamakiya mmanda, yenda katika ndela ngalu ni muichocholo bandu ni ubalazimishe bandu bajingii, linga nyumba yango itwetii.
24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
Kwa maana nenda kuwa bakiya, katika balo babakokilwe ba kwanza ntopo ywapaya sheree yango.'
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
Nambeambe bandu banyansima babile kabayenda nakwe pamope agalambwike ni aabakiye,
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.
Mana mundu kaicha kwango ni amchukya kwaa tate bake, mao bake, nnyumbo we, bana bake, anunabe, alalome ni alwawa ndio, ni hata maisha gake awecha kwaa panga mwanapunzi bango.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Mundu ywaapotwa kwaa msalaba wake ni icha ichungu yango hawecha kwaa panga mwanapunzi bango.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to finish [it]?
Maana nyai nkati yinu, ambaye atamaniya chenga nnara hatamaa kwa akadilii galamaa kwa mahesabu kati ai na chilo chakipala linga alikamilishe lyo?
29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish [it], all that behold [it] begin to mock him,
Vinginevyo baada ya bika nsingi ni chindwa yomolya, boti bababweni batumbwa kum'dhihaki.
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Kabaya, mundu yu alumbwi chenga wakati ntopo ngupu ya yomolya.
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
Au mfalme ywako mana kaapala yenda, kumbwana ni mfalme ywenge katika vita ambae hatama kwaa pae kwanza ni tola ushauli usu mana awecha, pamope ni bandu elfu komii kumbwana ni mfalme ywenge kaicha usu ywembe ni bandu elfu ishirini?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
Ni mana nyoo kwaa, wakati jeshi lya bengi balo li kutalu utuma mjumbe pala masharti ga amani.
33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Kwa nyoo basi yoyoti kati yinu ambaye haaleka kwaa yoti yabile nayo, hawecha kwaa, panga mwanapunzi bango.
34 Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
Mwinyo ni nzuri, lakini iobiye ladha yake, panga kitiwe panga kai mwinyo kae?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; [but] men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Ntopo matumizi kwa bui au hata kwa mbolea undataikwa kutalu. Ywabile na makutu, ni ayowe.”
