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].
Nongma Potthaba Numit amada Jisuna Pharisee-singgi luchingba amagi mayumda chaklen chanaba lengsinba matamda misingna mahakpu kupna yenglammi.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
Aduga mapham aduda phugamna naduna makhong makhut pomthokpa nupa ama Ibungogi nakta laklammi.
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?”
Maduda Jisuna Wayeng Yathanggi ojasing amadi Pharisee-sing aduda hanglak-i, “Potthaba Numitta anaba phahanbasi wayel yathangna yabra nattraga yadabra?”
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].
Adubu maduda makhoina paokhum amata piramde. Aduga Ibungona nupa aduda khut thambiduna naba phahanbiraga thakhirammi.
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]?”
Adudagi Ibungona makhoida hanglak-i, “Nakhoi kanagumbagi nachanupa nattraga sal laba ama Potthaba Numitta komda tarabadi, nakhoina Potthaba Numit oirabasu khudak aduda madubu loukhatloidra?”
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.
Adubu wapham asida makhoina paokhum amata khumba ngamlamde.
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:
Aduga chaklen aduda lenglaklibasing aduna ikaikhumnabasinggi phamphamsing adu khanba adu Jisuna ubada mahakna pandam ama piraduna hairak-i,
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)].
“Kanagumbana nakhoibu luhongbagi chaklenda kourabadi ikaikhumnabasinggi phampham aduda phamganu maramdi nangondagi henna maruoiba mi ama thouramduda kourambasu yai?
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.
Karigumba kouramlabadi, yumbu aduna laktuna nangonda haigani, ‘Phampham asida nupa asibu phamhansi.’ Maduda nangna ikaiba nangbaga loinanana hanthaba phamphamda amuk phamgani.
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.
Madugi mahutta thouram yaobinaba nahakpu kourabadi, thoubu aduna laktuna nangongda, ‘Marup, henna phaba phampham asida kakhatpiyu’ haina hainanaba nahakna chattuna khwaidagi hanthaba phampham aduda phammu. Maduna chaklen aduda nahakka phamminariba pumnamakki mamangda nahakpu ikai khumnagani.
11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
Maramdi masana masabu chaohanjabasing adubu nollukhangani aduga masana nollukchabasing adubuna chaohanbigani.”
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.
Adudagi Jisuna mahakpu lakpinaba koujariba yumbu aduda hairak-i, “Nahakna ayukki chaklen nattraga numidang charagidamak chakkouba matamda nahakki marup-mapang nachin nanao, sagei natei nattraga inakhunba yumlon keironnaba gi mibu kouganu maramdi makhoinasu nahakpu amuk kouraktuna nahakna toukhiba adugi laman hallakpasu yai.
13 Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
Adubu nahakna chaklen langba matamda laira-anangsing, soinairabasing, khongtekpasing amadi mitangbasingbu kou.
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.”
Aduga makhoina nangongda amuk laman singba ngamjadaba maramna nahak yaiphaba oijagani. Maramdi achumba chatpasingna hinggatpa numit aduda Tengban Mapuna nangongda amuk hanbigani.”
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!”
Jisuga chaklen aduda phamminnariba amana madu tabada Jisuda hairak-i, “Tengban Mapugi leibakki chaklen aduda phamgadaba makhoising adu kayada yaiphaba!”
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.
Maduda Jisuna mangonda hairak-i, “Kanagumba mi amana achouba chaklen ama langladuna mi mayam ama koujare.
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!’
Aduga chaklen adugi matam laklabada, mahakna manaising tharaduna mahakna lakpinaba haijakhibasing aduda asumna haihankhi, ‘Lakpiro, pumnamak thourang touduna leire.’
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!’
Adubu makhoi pumnamak chap manana leithokpa houraklammi. Ahanba aduna hairak-i, ‘Eina loubuk ama leisillure aduna eina chattuna madu yengluba tare; aduna eibu ngakpinaba haijari.’
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!’
Atoppa amana amuk hairak-i, ‘Eina sal laba pabot manga leirure aduna madu chang yenglunaba ei chatlibani. Aduna eibu ngakpinaba haijari.’
20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
Adudagi atoppa amana amuk hairak-i, ‘Ei luhongbada ngairi, maram aduna ei lakpa ngamlaroi.’
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]!’
Adudagi minai aduna handuna pumnamaksing asi mapu aduda tamlare. Maduda mapu aduna saoraduna mahakki minai aduda hairak-i, ‘Houjikmak sahargi lambi lambida aduga leirak leirakta thuna chattuna laira-anangsing, soinaibasing, mit-tangbasing amadi khongtekpasingbu mapham asida purak-u.’
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].’
Madu pangthoklaba matungda minai aduna laktuna hairak-i, ‘Ibungo nahakna haibadu toujare adubu houjiksu mapham hangli.’
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]!’”
Maduda mapu aduna minai aduda hairak-i, ‘Nakhoina khullakki lambising amadi leirak leirakta chattuna yum asi thannanaba misingbu mapham asida changhallak-u.
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].”
Eina nakhoi pumnamakta hairi, madudi eina hanna lakpinaba haijakhiba makhoi amatana chaklen asigi mahao tangba phangloi.’”
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Adudagi yamlaba miyam ama Jisuga loinana chatminnarammi. Aduga Ibungona makhoida onsillaktuna hairak-i,
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!
“Eigi inakta lakpa mi amana mahakki mama-mapa, nupi-angang, machin-manao, machal-mache aduga masamakki punsidagi phaoba henna eibu nungsidragadi mahakna eigi tung-inba oiba ngamloi.
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.
Aduga kanagumba masagi crosspu pujadaba aduga eigi itung illaktaba mahak aduna eigi tung-inba oiba ngamloi.
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.
Nakhoigi maraktagi kanagumba amana awangba yum ama saninglabadi nahakna phamthaduna madu saba loisinba phaobada konnagadaba nahakki sel leigadra haina changgadaba adu hanna pathokloidra?
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.
Maramdi nahakna madu toudragadi, yumphamdi hougatlaga awangba yum adu saba loisinba ngamloi; aduga madu awuba misingna nahakpu noknaduna haigani,
30 They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
‘Nahakna yum sabadi hougatlamlaga loisinbadi ngamdrene.’
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].
Aduga lanmi lising tara leiba ningthou amana lanmi lising kun puduna lakpa atoppa ningthou amaga lanthengnaba chatlabadi, chattringeigi mamangda mahakna ningthou aduga maiyoknaba ngamgadra haina mahakna hanna phamthaduna khantharoidra?
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?’
Aduga mahakna maipakloidaba oiragadi, atoppa ningthou aduna lapna leiringeida karamba phibhamda ingthaba purakpa yagadage haina hangnabagidamak mahakki pao pubasingbu manakta thagani.
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.”
Matou asigumna nakhoigi maraktagi kanagumbana mahakki areiba pumnamaksing adu hek thadoktriba makeidi mahakna eigi tung-inba oiba ngamloi.
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]
“Thumdi aphaba potni, adubu mahakna mahao mangkhrabadi madubu amuk karamna mahao leihangadage?
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!”
Mahao yaodraba thumdi leibakkidamaksu aduga leihaogidamaksu karisu kannade. Amasung madu langthoknei. Tannanaba manakong panba mahak aduna tajasanu.”
