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].
Aeipumie luhiku lakumukulya, naulongoe munyumba ang'wi ao nuatongeli a Mafarisayo kulya mukate, neenso akumugoza kwa pakupe.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
Goza, pantongelakwe aukole muntu nuanso aukagigwa nuuimbwa.
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?”
U Yesu wakaakolya eamanyi kupuma milago la Ayahudi ne Mafarisayo, “Ite izane kumukomya umuntu uluhiku lakukulya, anga singauu?”
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].
Lakini nianso akilagilye ihetwe, kuite u Yesu wakamuamba, wekamukomya wikamulekela alongole yakwe.
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]?”
Nung'wenso wikamuila, “Nyenyi apaite nukite ung'wana ang'wi ng'ombe wagwila muluze luhiku la kukulya shanga ukumuluta kunzi wapume?”
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.
Nianso aeagila anga uhumi wakupumya ulukani kunkani niyanso.
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:
Imatungo u Yesu nauagundue naile naalekilwe kina asagae intu niyaheshima, akaaila, kupyani akaaila.
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)].
Imatungo nimalekilwe numuntu kuwinga, ukekikie munafasi naheshima, kunsoko iwezekanile walikilwe muntu mungiza nukite heshima kukila uewe.
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.
Imatungo umuntu nualekilwe unye nimeabiile angawapike, ukuela uewe, “muhegele uyu enafasi ako” kuite kwa minyala ukonza kuhega nukikie kunyuma.
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.
Lakini uewe angawalekwe, longola wikie kumwisho ite imatungo angawaza nukualekile, uhumile kuuila uewe, muhumba miane, longola kuntongela kukila.” Kuite ukutula uheshimiwe ntongela aehi neikie palung'wi nuewe pameza.
11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
Kundogoilyo uyu nuikulya wisimigwa, nuyu nuisimya wikuligwa.
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.
U Yesu akamuila umuntu naumalekile, “Nukupumya indya ya mung'wi ang'wi yampende, lakukualeka eahumba eako ang'wi anya ndugo ako ang'wi antu ang'wi anyakisale ako neatajili, ite kunsoko neaenso akekualika uewe upate ilipo.
13 Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
Kuleka ite, nukuanya isherehe, aaleke eamasikini, ealema, akewete, niapoku,
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.”
nuewe ukukembetwa, kunsoko shangaakulipa. Kundogoelyo ukulipwa muwioki watai.”
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!”
Imatungo ung'wi ao aewikie mumeza palung'wi nu Yesu naewigule aya, nung'wenso wikaaela, “Ukembetilwe nuanso nuekulya umukute muutemi wang'wi Tunda.
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.
Lakini u Yesu wikaaila, “Muntu ung'we auzepilye sherehe nkulu, akaitanga antu eedu.”
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!’
Matungo isherehe naekole tayari, aumutumike umitumi akwe aaele awa naalekilwe, “Pembyi mihi kunsoko iintu yehi ikole tayali.
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!’
Ehi, ekatulalompa radhi. Nuang'wandyo akamuila umitumi, ngoile mugunda, lazima nende nulegoze. Itunu unsamile.
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!’
Numuya wikalunga, Nguile majoki ataano na ng'ombe, nunene niinzu kuagema, itunu unkoelwe.
20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
Nu muntu mungiza wekalunga, “Ntenile musungu, kuite shanga nzile.”
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]!’
Umitumi akasuka akamuila umukulu wakwe emakani nanso. Umukola nyumba wikataka akamuila umitumi wakwe, “Longokaya muisale numukona akisale ualete hapa iamasikini, niakelema, niapoku nawa nialemilwe.”
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].’
Umitumi wikalunga, mkulu aya nazundagiye ehi namituma, ganitungile ga enafasi kele ekole.”
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]!’”
Mukulu wikamuila umitumi, longola munzila nenkulu uahimize eantu ingiile, ite enyumba ne izule.
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].”
Kundogoelyo kumuila, kuite awa nialekilwe nung'wandyo shangaukuonza esherehe ane.
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Ite umati ukulu aealongoe palung'wi nung'wenso, nung'wenso wikapiluka, wikaaila,
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!
Angize muntu wizile kitalane nung'wenso shangaumubipiwe utata akwe, musungu wakwe, anaaakwe, anyandugu akwe, agoha nawa niasungu ee, ga nuwikale wakwe ga shanga ukutula mumanyisigwa wane.
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.
Umuntu nushanga ukuhola umusalaba wakwe waze kunyuma ane shanga uhumile kutula mumanyisigwa wane.
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.
Kundogoelyo nyenyu ung'wi anyu, nuhumilwe insula akuzenga umunola shanga ukikie hanza wakadilie engalama kumahesabu kina ukite eke nutakile wahu kukamisha nelanso?
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.
Kuite, baada akuika umusingi nukuleng'wa kumala, ehi naineakanza kumugema.
30 They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
Akutambula umuntu uyu aewandilye kuzenga, wekatula mugila anga ngulu akumailya.”
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].
Ite mutemike, nutakile kenda kikua nuutemi nuungiza kumbita, shanga uhumile kikie hanza pihe nukuhola imasigo angize uhumile, palung'wi ni antu elfu ikumi kikua nuutemi nuungiza nuukiza migulya akwe neantu elfu ishilini?
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?’
Kang'wi shangauu, matungo ijeshi nilaangiza kile lekole kule, wetuma momboi kutaka emashariti aamani.
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.”
Kuite gwa, wehi ung'wi ao neshanga ukuleka ehi nanso nukete, shanga uhumile kutula mumanyisigwa ane.
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]
Umunyu uza, lakini anga umunyu angaulimilye lauha akwe, ikutula ule utule munyu hange?
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!”
Ngila anga matumizi muudogo hata mumbolea uyu nakite iakutwe ahija nuije.”
