Luke 14
1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him.
Jhatokili ligono lya sabato, bho ilota kunyumba kwa mmonga ghwa bhalongosi bha Mafarisayo kulya n'kate, nabhene bhakajha bhakan'chunghuza kwa karibu.
2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.
Langayi, palongo pa muene ajhele munu ambajhe isumbulibhwa ni uvimbe.
3 And Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
Yesu akakota bhataalamu mu sheria sya bhayahudi ni Mafarisayo, “Je, ni halali kumponya ligono lya sabato, au lepi?”
4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
Lakini bhene bhajhele kinunu, kwa hiyo Yesu akan'kamula, ni kumponya ni kundeka alotayi.
5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have a donkey or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?
Nimuene akabhajobhela, “Niani kati jha muenga ajhe ni muana au ng'ombi idumbukila mu ligono lya sabato akamfuta lepi kwibhala mara moja?”
6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
Bhene bhajhelepi ni uwezo bhwa kuhomesya lijibu kwa mambo agha.
7 And he put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the best places; saying to them,
Wakati Yesu agunduili jinsi bhala bhabhaalikibhu kwamba bhachaguili fiti fya heshima, akabhajobhela mfano, akajobha,
8 When thou art invited by any man to a wedding, sit not down in the best place; lest a more honourable man than thou be invited by him;
“Wakati pa mwialikibhwa ni munu pa harusi, usitami mu nafasi sya heshima, kwandabha jhibhwesekana aalikibhu munu ambajhe ndo wakuheshimibhwa nesu kuliko bhebhe.
9 And he that invited thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest place.
Wakati munu jheabhaaliki muenga bhabhele akafikayi, ibeta kujobhela bhebhe, “mpishayi munu ojho nafasi jhe bhebhe,” ni kisha kwa soni wibetakutola nafasi jha mwishu.
10 But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour in the presence of them that sit eating with thee.
Lakini bhebhe ukaalikibhwayi, lotayi ukatamayi mahali pa mwishu, ili wakati jhola jhaakualiki akahidayi abhwesiajhi kukujobhela bhebhe, `Rafiki, lotayi palongolo nesu.” Ndipo wibeta kujha uheshimiki mbele jha bhoha bhabhatamili pamonga ni bhebhe pa meza.
11 For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Kwandabha khila jhaikikweza iselesibhwa na haikiselesya ikwesibhwa.'
12 Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou givest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
Yesu kabhele akan'jobhela munu jhaamwaliki,'pawihomesya kyakulya kya pamusi au kimihi, usibihaaliki rafiki zako au bhalongobhu au jamaa bhajhobhi au majirani bha jhabhi matajiri, ili kwamba bhene bhasihidi kukualika ni bhebhe ukakabhe malipo.
13 But when thou givest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
Badala jhieke, pawibhomba sherehe, bhaalikayi maskini, filema, fiwete ni fipofu,
14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
ni bhebhe wibetakujha kubarikibhwa, kwandabha bhibhwesya lepi kulepa. kwandabha wibeta kulepibhwa mu ufufuo bhwa bhenye.”
15 And when one of them that sat eating with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Wakati mmonga ghwa bhale bhabhatamili pameza pamonga ni Yesu bho apeliki aghu, ni muene akanijobhela, “Abarikibhu jhola jhaibetekulya n'kate mu Ufalme bhwa k'yara!”
16 Then said he to him, A certain man gave a great supper, and invited many:
Lakini Yesu akan'jobhela, “munu mmonga aandele sherehe mbaha, aaliki bhanu bhamehele.
17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were invited, Come; for all things are now ready.
Wakati sherehe bho ijhe tayari, akandaghisya mtumishi ghwa muene kubhajobhela bhela bhaalikwa, “Muhidayi, kwandabha fenu fyoha fimalili kubhekibhwa tayari.'
18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
Bhoha, bhakajhanda kus'oma radhi. Wa kwanza akan'jobhela mtumishi, 'Nihemili n'gonda, lazima nilotayi kulilola. Tafadhali unisamee.'
19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them out: I pray thee have me excused.
Na jhongi akajobha, Nihemili Jozi sihanu sya ng'ombi, ni nene nilotakubhajaribu. Tafadhali uniwie radhi.'
20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Ni munu jhongi akajobha, 'Nigegili n'dala, henu nibhwesya lepi kuhida.'
21 So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor, and the maimed, and the lame, and the blind.
Mtumishi akakerebhuka ni kun'jobhela mtumishi ghwa muene,'Lotayi manyata mitaani ni mufichochoro fya miji ukabhaletayi apa maskini, filema, fipofu ni bhalemavu.”
22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
Mtumishi akajobha, Bwana, aghu gha ulaghisij ghaamali kukhomboka, hata henu nafasi khona.'
23 And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Bwana akan'jobhela mtumishi, 'Lotayi mu n'jhela mbaha ni fichochoro na ubhashunitushjajhi bhanu bhajhingilibhu, ili nyumba jha nene jhimemayi.
24 For I say to you, That none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.
Kwandabha nikabhajobhela, kwabhala bhashaafikibhu kubhwandelu ajhelepi jhaibetakubhonja sherehe jhanene.'
25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them,
Henu umati mbaha bhajhele bhilota pamonga Ni muene, ni muene akageuka ni kubhajobhela,
26 If any man cometh to me, and hateth not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
'Kama munu ihida kwa nene ni muene akan'dadila lepi dadi munu, n'dala munu, mwana munu, bhalongo munu bha n'gosi ni n'dala - ndio, ni hata maisha gha muene kabhele -ibhwesya lepi kujhe mwanafunzi ghwa nene.
27 And whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Munu akabelayi kuulota msalaba ghwa muene ni kuhida kunyumba jha nene ibhwesyalepi kujha mwanafunzi ghwa nene.
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he hath sufficient to finish it?
Maana niani kati jhe muenga, ambajhe inoghela kujenga mnara ibeta lepi kutama hoti akadirirajhi gharama kwa mahesabu kama ajhe ni khela kyailonda ili kukamilisya e'lu?
29 Lest perhaps, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
Vinginevyo, baada jha kubheka msingi ni kusindwa kumallisila, bhoha bhabhalolili bhibeta kujhanda kundhihaki.
30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Bhijobha, Munu ojho ajhandi kujenga, ajhelepi ni nghofu sya kumalisya.'
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
Au mfalme jholekhu, akalondajhi kulota kukomana ni mfalme jhongi mu vita, ambajhe ibetalepi kutama pasi hoti ni kutola ushauri kuhusu kama ibhwesya, pamonga ni bhanu elfu kumi kutobhana ni mfalme jhongi jha ihida panani pa muene ni bhanu ishirini elfu?
32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth a delegation, and desireth conditions of peace.
Na kama naha lepi, wakati jeshi lya bhangi bado lijhe patali, itume balozi kulonda masharti gha amani.
33 So likewise, whoever he is of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Kwa hiyo basi, jhejhioha kati jha muenga ambajhe ibetalepi kuleka fyoha fya ajhe nafu, ibhwesyalepi kujha mwanafunzi ghwa nene.
34 Salt is good: but if the salt hath lost its savour, how shall it be seasoned?
Muinyu unofu, lakini ikajhelajhi jhijhasili ladha jhiake, jinsi jheleku jhibhwesya kujha muinyu kabhele?
35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Ijhelepi ni matumizi kwa udongo au hata kwa mbolea. jhitaghibhwa patali. Muene jha ajhele ni mb'olokoto na ap'elekayi gha kup'eleka.”
