Luke 14
1 One (Jewish day of rest/Sabbath day), Jesus went to eat [SYN] at the house of an important Pharisee. Some [men who studied the Jewish] laws and other Pharisees who were there were watching him carefully [to see if he would do something for which they could accuse him].
Uso liyiri namong Asabbath, kube ado nanya kilari nmon udia Nafarsayawa alii imonlii, iwadi ncara me chochot.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
Kikane nbun me, umon wa duku awa dinin nkonu nmyi adin nniyu mun kang.
3 Jesus said to them, “Is it permitted in [our(inc)] Jewish laws to heal [someone] (on our Jewish rest day/on the Sabbath), or not?”
Yesu tirino anan nyiru nduka nanya Nayahudawa, nin na Farsayawa, “Iyinna ishin nin nit liyiri Nasabbath, sa babu?”
4 [They knew that their laws permitted it, but they thought that healing was work, which they thought was wrong to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) (OR, [they knew that their laws permitted it, but they did not want to admit it]). So they did not reply. Then Jesus put his hands on the man and healed him. Then he told him to go [home].
Inung so tiik. Ame Yesu minghe a fiyaghe, a woro caang.
5 Then he said to the rest of them, “If you had a son or an ox that fell into a well on a (Sabbath/our day of rest), would you immediately [work to] pull him out, [or would you(sg) let him stay there until the next day]?”
Ame woro nani, “Ghari nanya mine ule na adinin gono sa finna na adio nanya nrijiya nwui Nasabbath na aba du dedei adi natun ba?”
6 [They knew that they would immediately work to pull him out, even on their day of rest, so they could not justly say that Jesus did wrong by healing the man on that day. So] they said nothing in reply to Jesus.
Na inung wa yinin ukauwu ghe nite imone ba.
7 Jesus noticed that those people who had been {whom [the Pharisee] had} invited [to the meal] chose [to sit in] the places where important [people usually sit]. Then he gave [this advice] to them:
Kubi na Yesu wa yene alenge na ina yicila nani asa ifere niti lisosin ngongong, abelle tinan tigoldo aworo nani,
8 “When one of you [(sg)] is invited by someone {someone invites one of you [(sg)]} to a wedding feast, do not sit in a place where important people sit. Perhaps the man [giving the feast] has invited a man more important than you [(sg)].
“Kubi na iyicilati uduu kiti nbuki nilugma, nauwa so kiti nse ngongon ba, bara sa umon duku na ina yicila ghe na akatinti nin ngongong.
9 [When that man comes], the man who invited both of you will come to you [(sg)] and say to you, ‘Let this man take your seat!’ Then you [(sg)] will have to take the most undesirable seat, and you will be ashamed.
Asa unite nin fe vat ndah, iba woru fi, 'Naci unit ule kitife,' nin ncing uba kpulu idi so kiti kibene.
10 Instead, when you are invited {[someone] invites one of you} [to a feast], go and sit in the most undesirable seat. Then when the man who invited everyone comes, he will say to you [(sg)], ‘Friend, sit in a better seat!’ Then all the people who are eating with you [(sg)] will see that he is honoring you.
Asa iyicilafi cang idi so kiti kibene, kube na ulle na ana cila yicilafi ndaa, aba bellin fe, 'Udon nigh dah kiti kidya.' Uba se ngongon kiti nale vat na isosin nan fi.
11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
Bara vat nlenge na atoltuno liti me iba ghantingh, ame ulenge na aghantina liti me iba toltunghe.”
12 [Jesus] also said to [the Pharisee] who had invited him to the meal, “When you [(sg)] invite people to a midday or evening meal, do not invite your friends or your family or your other relatives or your rich neighbors. They can later invite you [(sg) for a meal]. In that way they will repay you.
Yesu tutun woro nnit une na ana yicila ghe, “Kubi na ushiniya ubuki sa imonli, na uwa yicila adondon fe, likura fe, sa anan nimon nacara kupo fe, inung ba kuru iyicila fi, ikpilin in nifi na ubase uduk ba.
13 Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
Asa ubasu ubuki yicila akimon, agurgu aturri nin naduu ana salin nyenju kiti,
14 They will be unable to repay you. [But God will bless you! He] will repay you [at the time] when [he causes] righteous people to become alive again.”
uba se nmari, bara na iwasa ikpilla inafi ba, bara uba se uduk liyirin nfitu nanit alau.”
15 One of those who were eating with Jesus heard him say that. He said to Jesus, “God [has truly] blessed [us Jews] who will eat [with the Messiah] when he starts to rule!”
Umong na asosin kutebule nin Yesu, lanza ile imone, aworo ghe, “Unan nmariari ulenge na aba su kileo nanya kipin tigoo Kutelle!”
16 But [to show that many Jews whom God had invited would not accept God’s invitation] [MET], Jesus replied to him, “One time a man [decided] to prepare a large feast. He invited many people to come.
Ame Yesu woro ghe, “Umon unit wa dinin nbuki udia, ayicila anit gbardang.
17 When it was the day for the feast, he sent his servant to tell those who had been {whom he had} invited, ‘Come [now] because everything is ready!’
Na imonli nyini, ayicila anan katuwa kilari me, ato nani ido idi yicila alenge na ana bellin nani, 'Idak, bara ko yang inyini.'
18 But [when the servant did that], all of the people [whom he had invited] began to say why they did not want to come. The first [man the servant went to] said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
Inug vat nafo itere tinu cizina udasu nin kucikusu, unan nburne woro ghe, 'Meng na seru kunen, nba du ndi yene. Na nbase udake ba.'
19 Another person said, ‘I have just bought five pair of oxen, and I must go to examine them. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
Umong tutun woro, 'Meng na seru inna ibaba ukashi utaun, ndin cinu udu idi gwada inin. Na meng base udake ba.'
20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
Umon unit woro ghe, 'Meng nasu ilugma ipese, bara nani na nbase udake ba.'
21 So the servant returned to his master and reported what [everyone had said]. The owner of the house was angry [when he heard the reasons they gave for not] coming. He said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and alleys of the city [and find] poor and crippled and blind and lame [people, and bring] them here into [my house]!’
Unan katuwa kilare kpilla ada belle Cikilare ile imone. Ale Cikilare kilare nana nayi, abelle unan katuwa my, 'Caan nanya kagbire dedei nan tibau udanin, nakimon, agurgu, a aduu nan naturi.'
22 [After the servant went and did that], he [came back and] said, ‘Sir, I have done what you [(sg)] told me to do, but there is still room [for more people].’
Unan katuwa woro, 'Cikilari, ile imon na ubelle nsu inin, har nene kiti duku, sa unit.
23 [So] his master said to him, ‘Then go [outside the city]. Search for people along the highways. Search also along the narrow roads with hedges beside them [where homeless people may be staying]. Strongly urge the people in those places to come to [my house]. I want it to be full of [people]!’”
Cikilare belle unan katuwa me, 'Nuzu udo tibau tididia ukpeshilu nani idak, bara kilari nighe nan kullo.
24 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] this: Very few of you [Jewish] people will enjoy my feast, even though [I] invited you [first to eat it with me when I become king].”
Bara meng nbellin munu, na umon nanya nalele na iwa burun uyicilu nani dudu imonli nighe ba.'”
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Nene ligozin na nit wa din cin nin ghe, a girtino a woro nani,
26 “If anyone comes to me who loves his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters [more than] [HYP] [he loves me], he cannot be my disciple. He must even love me more than he loves his own life!
wase umong ndaa kiti ning na anari ucef mge, unna nye, uwani nye, nwana nye, ni lime nan nishono - ee, umunu ulai me - na a batina usu gono katwa nin ba.
27 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner make] him carry his cross [MET] [to the place where others will nail him] on it. Only those who are willing [to allow others to hurt them and disgrace them] like that because of being my disciples, and who are willing to obey what I teach, can be my disciples.
vat inle na a yira kuca nkul nye a dufini ba na awa sa asu gono katwa nin ba.
28 [I will illustrate] [MET]. If one of you desired to build a (tower/big house), (you would surely first sit down and determine how much it would cost!/would you not first sit down and determine how much it would cost?) [RHQ] Then you would determine whether you had enough money to complete it.
Bara ghari nanya mine, ule na a dinin su a kee kilari na aba so a batiza imon ile na aba mulun kewe ayinin sa a nin nimong ile na ama ke kelare mun udu umale anin cizin ba?
29 [If you did not do that], if you laid the foundation and were not able to finish [the rest of the tower], everyone who saw it would make fun of you.
Ana nani ba, a wa cizin lituine na a mala ba, vat nle na a yene a ba sisughe,
30 They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
a beling ule unite na cizin ukee kilari na amala ba.
31 Or, if a king decided to [send his army to] war against another king, (he would surely first sit down [with those who] advised [him]./would he not first sit down [with those who] advised [him]?) [RHQ] They would determine whether [his army], which had only 10,000 soldiers, could defeat the [other army], which had 20,000 soldiers, and was about to attack his [army].
Sa uyapin agomari, na ama du likum nin mung ugo, na aba so a seru ashawara sa ama yinnu likume nin na nit amoi likure wase uleli ugowe nda nin na nit amoi akutaba?
32 If he [decided] that his army could not [defeat that army], he would send messengers to [the other king] while the other army was still far away. He would tell the messengers to say to that king, ‘What things must I do to have peace with your country?’
Andi na nani ba, aleli anang likume nwadi piit, a taa umong adi foo acara bara iso mang.
33 So, similarly, if any one of you does not first decide that you [(sg)] are [willing to] give up all that you have, you cannot be my disciple.”
Bara nanere, vat nanya mine andi na usuna ile imong na udumung ba na uwa sa usoo unam masun iyinu ning ba.
34 [Jesus also said, “You are like] [MET] salt, which is useful [to put on food]. But (salt certainly cannot be made {[you] certainly cannot make salt} to taste salty again if it stops tasting salty!/can salt be made {can [you] make salt} to taste salty again if it quits tasting salty?) [RHQ]
Nto caun, bara na misali mamas, mi ba kuru me lawa ntwe tutungha?
35 [If salt does not taste salty any more], it is not good for the soil or even for the manure heap. [People] throw it away. [The same thing will happen to you if you become useless to God]. If you want to understand what I just said [IDM], you must consider [carefully] what you have heard!”
Na mima yitu nin katwa tutung ba, I ma gutunu mining. Ule na adi nin na tuf na a lanza, na a lanza.
