Luke 14

1 And it happened, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

Mi fuodima daali danyenli Jesu den kua Falisieninba yudaano yendo yua n den yini o o deni ki baa je.

2 And look, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.

Yaaba n go den cua ki baa je den kpaagi Jesu. U yianpiebiko daano den ka o nintuali.

3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the Law scholars and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"

Jesu den maadi leni li balimaama bangikaciamo leni Falisieninba yaaba n ye li kani ki yedi ba: “Naani li pia sanu ki paagi o nilo mi fuodima daali bi, bi laa pia yo?”

4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.

Bi den ŋmini suo. Jesu den tandi o nuu ki mubini o yiamo yeni ki paagi o ki cabi o.

5 He answered them, "Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, would not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?"

Lani o den yedi ba: “Yi siiga ŋme ya bijua, yaaka o nua, ya baa li caali nni mi fuodima daali, o kan jaligi ki dadi ki ñani o?”

6 But they could make no reply to this.

Baa den fidi ki guani o laa maama po liba.

7 He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,

Jesu den laa ke Falisieni yeni n yini yaaba ban cua ki je yeni lingi ya kalikaani n pia ti kpiagidi ki cie, o den pua ba mi kpanjama ki yedi:

8 "When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, do not sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,

“O nilo ya yini a mi pocaajiema po, ŋan da gedi ki kali ya kaanu n kpiagi ki cie, lani n tie wan yini yaaba siiga n da ti pia yua ya jigidi n cie a yaadi,

9 and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, 'Make room for this person.' Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.

ke yua n yini fini leni wani kuli ya cua, wan da ti yedi a: 'Teni one u kaanu.' Lani i fe baa cuo ŋa leni ŋan baa goa ki ban kali puoli po.

10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

Ama bi ya yini a ke a pundi, ŋan ban kali puoli po ya kalikaanu. A ya tieni yeni yua n yini a ya ti cua o baa yedi a: 'N danli, cua ki kali ya kaanu n cie.' Lani li baa tua apo ti kpiagidi wan yini a yaaba kuli nintuali.

11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

Yua n fiini o yuli kuli, U Tienu baa jiini o, yua n jiini o yuli mo U Tienu baa fiini o.”

12 He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

Jesu go den maadi leni yua n yini o ki yedi o: “A ya yini bi niba ban cua ki je a deni, mi yensiijiema yaaka mi yenjuajiema, ŋan da yini a danlinba, yaaka a kpeliba leni a waamu yaaka yaaba n li kpi leni a kuli, yaaka a yieninlieba siiga yaaba n tie a piada, ke ban da ti goa ki mon yini a ki guani a a ŋanma.

13 But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

A ya baa yini bi niba mi jaanjiema po, ŋan yini a luoda leni a tadima leni a waba leni a juama.

14 and you will be blessed, because they do not have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous."

Lanwani U Tienu baa ŋanbi apo kelima bani wani kan fidi ki guani a a ŋanma. U Tienu ya ti fiini yaaba n tiendi wan bili yaala bi tinkpiba siiga, o baa guani a ma.”

15 Now when one of those who were reclining with him heard these things, he said to him, "Blessed is he who will eat bread in the Kingdom of God."

Yaaba n den ye u saajekaanu kani yendo n den gbadi laa maama, o den yedi Jesu: “Li pamanli ye leni yua n baa ba ki je U Tienu diema nni.”

16 But he said to him, "A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.

Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “O nilo den ŋanbi mi jecianma ki yini bi niba boncianla.

17 And he sent his servant at the hour for supper to tell those who were invited, 'Come, for everything is ready now.'

Mi jiema yogunu n pundi, o den soani o naacemo n ban yedi wan yini yaaba: 'Cua mani na kelima li bonla kuli ŋanbi ki gbeni no.”

18 They all as one began to make excuses. "The first said to him, 'I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.'

Ama bi kuli yendo yendo den mia sugili. O nikpialo den yedi o naacemo: 'N daa u kuanu, kali min gedi ki ban la u, ŋan mia npo sugili.'

19 "Another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.'

One mo den yedi: 'N da naakpakpaadi piiga, n caa ki baan biigi ba, ŋan mia npo sugili.'

20 "Another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'

Toa moko den tedi: 'N da taa n pua moala na, lani yaapo n kan fidi ki gedi.'

21 "That servant came, and told 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 the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.'

O naacemo den lebidi ki guani o canbaa kani ki waani o li kuli. Lani o diedaano yeni pali den beni, ke o yedi o naacemo: 'Kua u dogu daamu nni leni u sanu nni ki cuani a luoda leni a tadima leni a juama leni a waba na.'

22 "The servant said, 'Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.'

Lan yen waamu o naacemo den goa ki yedi o: 'Canbaa, n tieni ŋan bi puogi nni yaala, ama u kaanu go sieni.'

23 "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.

Lani canbaa den goa ki yedi o: 'Ña u dogu nni ki gedi a sanbila nni leni a naga balinma, ki tigini bi niba ke ban cua ne ke n diegu n gbie.'

24 For I tell you that none of those individuals who were invited will taste of my supper.'"

N yedi yi ke min den kpa yini yaaba yeni, bi siiga baa yendo kan leni n jiema”

25 Now large crowds were going with him. He turned and said to them,

A nigola boncianla den yegi leni Jesu o sancenli nni. O den jigidi ki yedi ba:

26 "If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

“Yua n cua n kani, o yaa yie o baa leni o naa, leni o pua leni o bila, leni o kpeliba leni o waamu, baa o yuceli mo o kan tua n ŋoadikoa.

27 Whoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

Yua n ki bugi o dapoanpoanli ki ŋua nni kan fidi ki ya tie n ŋoadikoa.

28 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

Yi siiga ŋme baa bua ki maa ki maa li diefoagili ki kan kpa kali ki bandi wan baa biani yaala, ki le o ya pia ya ligi n baa dagidi wan gbeni.

29 Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

O yaa tieni yeni, o ya pu li tanpuuli ki naa fidi ki juodi. Yaaba n baa le kuli baa ñuadi o ki yedi:

30 saying, 'This man began to build, and was not able to finish.'

'O jao na cili li diemaali ki naa fidi ki juodi.'

31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

Bi o laa bado n baa ye ki bua ki tuogi bu toabu ki bua ki tuogi leni baditoa ki nan pia toatieba tudapiiga, naani waa ba kpa kali ki biigi o yaa fidi ki biigi o ya baa fidi ki tuogi leni yua n kpendi o kani ki pia toatieba tudapiilie?

32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.

O ya sua ke o kan fidi, o baa soani o tondiba hali ke yibalo daa ye foagima, ki mia o wan waani o wan bua yaala, ban mangi leni bi yaba.

33 So therefore whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.

Li tie yeni, yi siiga yua n ŋa wan pia yaala kuli kan tua n ŋoadikoa.

34 Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?

Mi yaama tie ya bonla n mani, ama maa luo mi manu, bi baa taa be ki go mangi ma?

35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

Maa pia mayuli ki tinga po, maa go pia mayuli ti bugidi po, kali ban lu ma bebe. Yua n pia a tuba ki baa gbadi wan gbadi.”
