Holy Bible Aionian Edition® ~ English---Trans-Trans ~ Luke Chapter 14

< 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].

Sabathni voikhat chu, Pharisee ulien inkhat ina Jisua bu nêk rangin a siela, mîn an enrichika.

2 Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.

Mi inkhat a ke, a bânngei inthing, Jisua kôma a honga.

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?”

Jisua'n, Balam minchupungei le Phariseengei kôma, “Ei Balamin Sabathni mi mindam a phal mo, phal mak mo?” tiin a rekel ngeia.

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].

Hanchu an dâireka, Jisua'n damloi hah a sûra, a mindama, a min se zoia.

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]?”

Hanchu, Jisua'n an kôma, tumakhatin a nâipasal mo, a seratchal mo, Sabathnin tuikhura tâk senla, Sabathni nikhomrese, kelsuo kelen no tunui mo? a tia.

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.

Hannisenla ha chong hah tutên thuon thei mak ngei.

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:

An mi siel ngei mi senkhatin sukmun asa an thang, a mûn chu Jisua'n hi chongmintêk hih a ril ngeia.

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)].

“Mîn inneina ruolhoia nangni an sielin, sukmun asana insung no roi.” nin nêka mi lien uol an sielin chu,

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.

in pumapa no kôma hongin, “Ama hi mun ot roh” tîng a ta mâimôk takin mun innuoina insung ni tih.

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.

Manêk han, nang an siela anîn chu mun innuoina insung inla, a pumapa hong a ta, no kôma, “Mala, mun asana hong insung roh tîng a ta, hanchu, khuolmingei makunga mirit lông ni tih.

11 Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”

Omlien ngei kai intem an ta, omchîn ngei chu minlutin om an tih,” a tia.

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.

Jisua'n a sielpu kôma khom, “Sûna mo, jâna mo, ruolhoi no tho tikin chu, na malngei mo, na lâibungngei mo, nu sûngsuokngei mo, nu bunga minei ngei mo, siel no roh, nônchu nang siel nôk an ta, nang thuon nôk an tih.

13 Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].

Ruolhoi no thôn chu inriengngei, a ôingei, kholrangei, mitchongei siel roh,

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.”

nang an thuon theiloi sikin sat nang vur sâng a tih, midikngei inthoi nôk tika Pathien'n nang thuon a tih,” a tipea.

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!”

Hanchu, a khêng otpui inkhatin a chongril a rieta, a kôma, “Pathien Rêngrama ruolhoia insung rang ngei chu idôra râisân a om rang mo na!” a tia.

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.

Jisua'n a kôma, “Mi inkhatin ruolhoi roiinpui tak a minsûka, mi tamtak a siela,

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!’

anêk zora tikin chu a mi siel ngei kôma, ‘Hong ta roi jâttin ânzoi zoi,’ iti rangin a tîrlâm a tîra.

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!’

Hanchu an rêngin inlêmna an nei chita, A motontak han a kôma, ‘Loi ko rochôka, a en ke se rang, ni muduol roh,’ a tia.

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!’

Mi dangin, seratchal bop rangnga ko rochôka, a enmindik rangin ke se rang ani, ni lei muduol roh,” a tia.

20 Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’

Mi dangin, “inkenei suobil kêng ania, masikin hong thei no ning,” a tia.

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]!’

Ma tîrlâm hah a se sirin chu a pu a rila. A pumapa hah a takasia, a tîrlâm kôm, “Se lalai inla, kotmâingeia, lamlienngeia, inriengngei, a ôingei, mitchongei, kholrangei hongtuong ngei roh,” a tia.

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].’

Tîrlâm han a kôma, “O, pu ni ti anghan ko thoa, ania, mun tamtak a la tong” a tia.

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]!’”

Hanchu a pûn, a tîrlâm kôma han, “Sênla, lamliena, lamkêma mingei, ki in sipna rangin hongtuong lût roh.

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].”

Nang ki ril, mi ki siel ngei han tutên ka ruolhoia sâk noni ngei a ti,” a tia.

25 Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,

Voikhat chu mipui tampa Jisua leh an inruoia, an tieng ânheia, an kôma,

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!

“Tutu a nû le a pa, a lômnu le a nâingei, a lâibungngei le a sarnungei, le ama takpum nêka, lungkham mi mu uol nônchu, ko kôma hongin ku ruoisi nithei no nih.

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.

Tukhom ama khros ruputa mi jûi loipu chu ka ruoisingei nithei no nih,” a tia.

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.

Tumakhatin in insâng sin rang bôk senla, insungin a sin zoina rang sum a dôn le dônloi mindon bak a tih.

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.

Lungphûm a phûm suole, zoi thei khâi tano senla, a mu nâmin munuisan an tih.

30 They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’

A in sin a phut nâka chu, zoi thei khâi mak tîng an tih.

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].

Hanchu, tu rêng mo, a mi isângsôm leh rêng danga mi isângsômnik leh ama doi ranga juong, a ngam rang le ngamloi rang, insungin a mindon bak loi rang?

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?’

A doi ngamloi rangin chu, alazana an la om lâiin, inngêina sin rangin thangthei tîr a tih.

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.”

Ma anghan, tutu nangni khom a nei murdi a mâk riei nônchu ku ruoisi ni thei no tunui.

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]

“Michi hi asa, ania, a alna boi ta senla chu, min al nôk thei ni khâi mak.

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!”

Pil rang khomin, ur rang khom sa mak, vôrpai rang vai kêng. Kuor nin dônin chu rangâi roi,” a tia.
