Luke 14
1 On one occasion, as Jesus was going, on a Sabbath into the house of one of the leading Pharisees to dine, they were watching him closely.
KADEKADEO ni a kotilong ong nan im en kaun pan Parisär amen, pwen konot ni ran en sapat; a irail masamasan i.
2 There he saw before him a man who was suffering from dropsy.
A kilang, aramas amen mia wasa o, me lisongepo.
3 “Is it allowable,” said Jesus, addressing the students of the Law and the Pharisees, “to work a cure on the Sabbath, or is it not?”
Iesus ap kotin sapeng masani ong saunkawewe o Parisär akan: Me pung, en kakelada ni ran en sapat?
4 They remained silent. Jesus took hold of the man and cured him, and sent him away.
Irail nenenla. I ap kotin sair i, kakelada o kadara wei.
5 And he said to them, “Which of you, finding that your son or your ox has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull them out on the Sabbath day?”
Ap kotin sapeng masani ong irail: Is re omail, me na as de kau pupedi ong nan por o, me so pan madang apiada sang ni ran en sapat?
6 And they could not make any answer to that.
A irail sota kak sapengki i meakot.
7 Observing that the guests were choosing the best places for themselves, Jesus told them this parable –
A kotin masani ong toun kapar karaseras eu, ni a kotin mangi, me re inong iong en mondi ni tapin tepel, masani ong irail:
8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding banquet, do not seat yourself in the best place. Someone of higher rank might have been invited by your host;
Koe lao pan luke dong kamadip en kapapaud ren meamen, ender mondi ong leppantam, pwe ele amen, me lapa sang koe lukedor.
9 and the host who invited you both will come and say to you ‘Make room for this person,’ and then you will begin in confusion to take the lowest place.
O me luk uk edo o pil i, pan kodo indai ong uk: Ki ong ol men et deu om! A koe pan namenok kodido ong nan roulap.
10 No, when you are invited, go and take the lowest place, so that, when the host who has invited you comes, he may say to you ‘Friend, come higher up’; and then you will be honored in the eyes of all your fellow guests.
A koe lao paluke, kola mondi ong nan roulap, pwe me luke uk lao pwarado, en indai ong uk: Kompoke pai, kotidato! Koe ari pan kaindand nan pung en ir, me iang uk ni tepel.
11 For everyone who exalts themselves will be humbled, and everyone who humbles themselves will be exalted.”
Pwe karos me kin kasapwilada pein i, pan kasapwilidi, o me kin kasapwilidi pein i, pan kasapwilada.
12 Then Jesus went on to say to the man who had invited him, “When you give a breakfast or a dinner, do not ask your friends, or your brothers or sisters, or your relatives, or rich neighbors, because they might invite you in return, and so you should be repaid.
Ap pil kotin masani ong me lukedo i: Kom lao wiada konot en ni sauas de nin sautik, eder lukedo kompokepa om ko, de ri om akan, de sau om, de men imp om kapwapwa kan, pwe re de pil luke uk, o depuk ong uk.
13 No, when you entertain, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
A ma koe pan wia kamadip, en lukedo me samama o me pali duk kai, o me sikilikil, o me maskun akan.
14 and then you will be happy indeed, since they cannot reward you; for you will be rewarded at the resurrection of the just.”
Koe ari pan meid pai, pwe irail sota pan kak depuk ong uk, a a pan depuk ong uk ni ran o, me pung kan pan maureda.
15 One of the guests heard what he said and exclaimed, “Happy will be the person who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!”
A amen ir, me iang ni tepel o lao rongadar mepukat, ap potoan ong i: Meid pai, me pan sak prot nan wein Kot.
16 But Jesus said to him, “A man was once giving a great dinner. He invited many people,
A a kotin masani ong i: Aramas amen mia, me wiadar kamadip lapalap o luke pena me toto.
17 and sent his servant, when it was time for the dinner, to say to those who had been invited ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
O kadarala na ladu o ni dokan kamadip, pwen kaire kin irail, me pan toun kapar: Komail ukedo, pwe meakaros onoper.
18 They all with one accord began to ask to be excused. The first said to the servant ‘I have bought a field and am obliged to go and look at it. I must ask you to consider me excused.’
Irail ap wiaki eu ikidiki okotme. Men mas indai ong i: I netiada sap eu, i pan kola kilang; i poeki re om, koe en kadar ia la.
19 The next said ‘I have bought five pairs of bullocks, and I am on my way to try them. I must ask you to consider me excused’;
A amen inda: I pwainda kau ol ek, a met i pan kola kilang ir; i poeki re om, koe en kadar ia la.
20 while the next said ‘I am just married, and for that reason I am unable to come.’
A amen inda: I paudeki li amen, i me i sota kak kokila.
21 On his return the servant told his master all these answers. Then in anger the owner of the house said to his servant ‘Go out at once into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in here the poor, and the crippled, and the blind, and the lame.’
Ladu o ari purodo, kaireki a monsap meakan. Monsap o ap makara kidar indai ong a ladu: Tange wei nani al laud o al tikitik en kanim o wado me samama kan, o me pali duk, o me sikilikil, o me maskun akan.
22 Presently the servant said ‘Sir, your order has been carried out, and still there is room.’
A ladu o indada: Maing, a wiauier duen omui masan, a deun akai pil mia.
23 ‘Go out,’ the master said, ‘into the roads and hedgerows, and make people come in, so that my house may be filled;
Monsap o ap indai ong a ladu: Kakan sili nani al o ni kailan kel akan, papain ir do, pwe im ai en tounla!
24 for I tell you all that not one of those people who were invited will taste my dinner.’”
A i indai ong komail, nan sota amen ren ol oko, me paluke, pan song ai kamadip.
25 One day, when great crowds of people were walking with Jesus, he turned and said to them,
A pokon kalaimun idauenla i. I ari saupei ong irail masani:
26 “If any one comes to me and does not hate their father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes and even their life, he can be no disciple of mine.
Meamen kodo re i, ap so maliela sam a, o in a, o a paud, o na seri kan, o ri a ol, o li akan, o pil pein maur a, nan a sota pan kak ai tounpadak.
27 Whoever does not carry their own cross, and walk in my steps, can be no disciple of mine.
A meamen so kida a lopu o idauen ia do, a sota pan kak ai tounpadak.
28 Why, which of you, when you want to build a tower, does not first sit down and reckon the cost, to see if you have enough to complete it? –
Pwe is re omail, me pan kauada im en taulik eu, me sota pan mondi mas ap lamelame duen pwain a, ma a pan kak ong de so?
29 Otherwise, if you have laid the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will laugh at you,
Pwe a de pasonedi, ap sota kak kanikiela; a karos, me udial, pan kaurureki i,
30 and say ‘Here is a person who began to build and was not able to finish!’
Indada: Aramas men et pikikidi kauada im, ap sota kak kanikiela.
31 Or what king, when he is setting out to fight another king, does not first sit down and consider if with ten thousand men he is able to meet one who is coming against him with twenty thousand?
De is nanmarki o, me pan mauin ong amen nanmarki, me sota pan mondi mas ap lamelame, ma a pan kak kaloekidi aramas nen aramas rianen?
32 And if he cannot, then, while the other is still at a distance, he sends envoys and asks for terms of peace.
A ma so, a pan kadarala men kadar akai, poekipoeki muei mau ni ara non doo pasang.
33 And so with everyone of you who does not bid farewell to all you have – you cannot be a disciple of mine.
Nan iduen amen amen komail, me so muei sang meakaros, nan a sota pan kak ai tounpadak.
34 Yes, salt is good; but, if the salt itself should lose its strength, what will be used to season it?
Sol me mau, a ma sol sarasang, da me a pan kanomanom mau kida?
35 It is not fit either for the land or for the manure heap. People throw it away. Let those who have ears to hear with hear!”
A solar mau ong nan sap, pil so nan pwel, pwe aramas kin kasela. Me salong a mia men rong, i en rong!
