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].
Sa siit Jehudi naangtongsa di Jisu Pharisi nok hate wasiit phokhoh nok ni phaksat phaksah kata; eno miloong ah ih Jisu ah teptep et ban sok rumta.
2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
Mih wasiit heh sook nyia heh lah pheng arah Jisu reeni chap wang taha,
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?”
eno Jisu ih Hootthe nyootte nyi Pharasi loong asuh chengta, “Seng Hootthe jun ih Naangtongsa doh mih edeesiit tam tadeesiit thukka?”
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].
Eno neng tumjih uh tajeng rumta. Jisu ih khoisatte ah toonsiit ano deesiitta, eno kaat thukta.
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]?”
Eno baat rumta, “Sen wasiit thandoh sen sah adoleh seng maanpong Jehudi naangtongsa doh habeng nah mok datti abah, sen ih echaan ih erah saasa doh etoonsiit tam tatoonsiit kan?”
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.
Eno neng ih erah tiit ah tami ngaakbaat rumta.
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:
Wenwah loong ih neng tongtheng ese se ah jam rum arah Jisu ih jat ano, heh ih arah tiitthaak tiit ah neng suh baatta:
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)].
“O ih bah uh sen kuhoon sadung nah poon han radoh, sen tongtheng eseethoon adoh latong theng. Sen nang ih elong mina uh mok poon et ah,
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.
set wanyi nyi poontte changte ah ra haano mok baat ho, ‘Arah doh arah wah ah toomtong ah eah.’ Eno an ah rakmuurakke ih enum nah dattong jih ang ah.
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.
Erah nang ih, an mih ih poonho doh, kah uno tongtheng enumthoon adoh tongka uh, eno changte ah ra haano toombaat jaho, ‘Ngah jiiwah wang ho, tongtheng ese ko ih tong wangho.’ Erah doh an ah wahoh wenwah loong miksok doh khosoong naaloong ang uh.
11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
Tumeah o ih heteewah suh elong ih thiik ah erah ehin ih hoon ah, eno o mina ih heh teeteewah suh ehin ih thiik ah erah elong ih hoon ah.”
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.
Eno Jisu ih neng poonte wah asuh baatta, “An ih maatok doh rangnih phaksat adoleh rangja phaksat ang koja bah uh mih poon ubah, babah uh an jiiwah adoleh anphoh anno nyia an joonte adoleh ankhuung antok nawa changteng loong ah lapoon theng tumeah neng ih an ewe ngaak poon et ho, eno an ih marah taat koh rumtu erah hephoopho we ih ngaak koho.
13 Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
Sen ih sadung phaksat hoon anbah, changthih, ekoong nyia edook loong ah poon an;
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.”
eno ba romseetam ah choh an, tumeah neng ih sen suh tajen ngaakthem ran. Rangte ih sen suh heh mina loong tek nawa ngaaksaatja doh ngaakthem han.”
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!”
Jisu damdi teebun ni roong tongte wenwah wasiit ih erah japchaat ano, Jisu suh liita, “Marah mina Rangte Hasong nah sadung adoh choh roong tongte loong ah tumthan tenroon ang ah!”
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.
Jisu ih heh suh baatta, “Teewadi mih wasiit ih saroom dungnuh ni warep mina lompoonta.
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!’
Eno sadung tok ah chang kano, heh ih heh laksuh asuh wenwah loong ah poonkaat thukta, ‘Wanghan, jirep ah khookham cho!’
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!’
Eno miloong ah ih wasiit wasiit ih, jaat hoh kaatthet ah diipbaat rum ano tawang rumta. Jaakhothoon poonta warah ih laksuh asuh baatta, ‘Ngah ih phek ena retang erah sokkah ang: ethih nak choh uh.’
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!’
Erah lih dowa wasiit ah ih we liita, ‘Ngah ih maanpong asih retang ah loong ah phek nah phek bok thaak siitkaatte anglang, erah thoidoh tajap ra rang ethih nakthun uh.’
20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
Erah lilih wasiit ih we liita, ngah ih amamah di nga kuhoon tang, erah thoidoh ngah tajen raarang.’
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]!’
“Eno laksuh ah ngaakwang ano jaatrep tiit heh changte asuh baat wanta. Changte ah rapne ih khah ano heh laksuh asuh baatta, ‘Echaan ih kah uno lam nawa nyia hadaang hadaang nawa, changthih loong ah nyia ekoong, edook loong ah, ngaak poonkah uh.’
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].’
Erah damdam laksuh rah ih liita, ‘An ih baat hu jengkhaap ah tadaanke, changte, enoothong nok abah balam uh jaachaak dook.’
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]!’”
Eno changte rah ih laksuh asuh baatta, deek akaan lamrep nah kah uno miloong ah poonkah uh eno nga nok ah eme toom eah.
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].”
Ngah ih thoontang suh baat rumhala takkhoh taat poon rumtang loong ah rangja phaksat ah nak toom phaksah ra rumha!’”
25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
Saasiit mih hantek Jisu damdam ih roongkhoom rum adi, heh ih ngaak sok ano baat rumta,
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!
“O nga jiinni thokte rah nga liphante tajen angka, ngah ah nengnuh nengwah, neng minuh nyia neng sah, nyia neng phoh neng nah, eno neng teeteewah nang ih ehan lamok mongnook rumrang bah ah.
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.
O ih neng teeteewah bangphak ah hui ano nga linah lajen roong khoom ra bah nga liphante tajen angka.
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.
“Sen dowa o ih bah uh nok echoong hoon suh kaankoong anbah, jaakhothoon ah tong uh no ngun mathan taan wang ih chaak rookwet uh eno ba jat uh nok jen hoonjih ngun ah eli tam taliika eah.
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.
Emah lah angka bah, an nok thongbeng ah thootcho, thathom doh toohaat jih ih hoon ah; eno mih ih sok ho doh engiit jih ang ah.
30 They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
Neng ih amet li ho ‘An ih an nok ah taat phang hoon uno etoohaat bowe hu nih!
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].
“Luungwang wasiit ih haajaat asih mih ah siit ano luungwang wahoh ih, haajaat rooknyi mih siit arah damdoh rookmui suh, jaakhoh heh ih chaak samthun et ah erathan mina damdoh ejen muujih tam lajen muujih rah ah.
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?’
Heh ih lajen taaka bah, kongphaak huite daapkaat ano luungwang damdoh chomui ah, eno nuumi hoon raangtaan ih baat ah maang rookmui rumka ngakhoh nah ah.
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.”
Erah likhiik ih, “Jisu ih thoonbaatta, “O ang an bah uh jaatrep ah lajen thiinhaat kanbah nga liphante tajen angkan.
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]
“Sum ah ese, enoothong sumwaan ah mok thoon abah, lamhoh nawa ih sum ah we ngaak sumthuk jih tajeeka.
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!”
Erah ah hah nah tumjih maak doh tachapka adoleh khaat et suh uh taseeka ang ah; ehaat etjih ba ang ah. Erah thoidi ih chaat et an, sen na je abah ah!”
