Luka 14

1 Mi fuodima daali danyenli Jesu den kua Falisieninba yudaano yendo yua n den yini o o deni ki baa je.

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.

2 Yaaba n go den cua ki baa je den kpaagi Jesu. U yianpiebiko daano den ka o nintuali.

And behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.

3 Jesu den maadi leni li balimaama bangikaciamo leni Falisieninba yaaba n ye li kani ki yedi ba: “Naani li pia sanu ki paagi o nilo mi fuodima daali bi, bi laa pia yo?”

And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?

4 Bi den ŋmini suo. Jesu den tandi o nuu ki mubini o yiamo yeni ki paagi o ki cabi o.

And they held their peace. And he took [him] and healed him, and let him go;

5 Lani o den yedi ba: “Yi siiga ŋme ya bijua, yaaka o nua, ya baa li caali nni mi fuodima daali, o kan jaligi ki dadi ki ñani o?”

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not forthwith pull him out on the sabbath?

6 Baa den fidi ki guani o laa maama po liba.

And they could not answer him again to these things.

7 Jesu den laa ke Falisieni yeni n yini yaaba ban cua ki je yeni lingi ya kalikaani n pia ti kpiagidi ki cie, o den pua ba mi kpanjama ki yedi:

And he put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying to them,

8 “O nilo ya yini a mi pocaajiema po, ŋan da gedi ki kali ya kaanu n kpiagi ki cie, lani n tie wan yini yaaba siiga n da ti pia yua ya jigidi n cie a yaadi,

When thou art invited by any [man] to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room, lest a more honorable man than thou be invited by him;

9 ke yua n yini fini leni wani kuli ya cua, wan da ti yedi a: 'Teni one u kaanu.' Lani i fe baa cuo ŋa leni ŋan baa goa ki ban kali puoli po.

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 room.

10 Ama bi ya yini a ke a pundi, ŋan ban kali puoli po ya kalikaanu. A ya tieni yeni yua n yini a ya ti cua o baa yedi a: 'N danli, cua ki kali ya kaanu n cie.' Lani li baa tua apo ti kpiagidi wan yini a yaaba kuli nintuali.

But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honor in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.

11 Yua n fiini o yuli kuli, U Tienu baa jiini o, yua n jiini o yuli mo U Tienu baa fiini o.”

For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

12 Jesu go den maadi leni yua n yini o ki yedi o: “A ya yini bi niba ban cua ki je a deni, mi yensiijiema yaaka mi yenjuajiema, ŋan da yini a danlinba, yaaka a kpeliba leni a waamu yaaka yaaba n li kpi leni a kuli, yaaka a yieninlieba siiga yaaba n tie a piada, ke ban da ti goa ki mon yini a ki guani a a ŋanma.

Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor [thy] rich neighbors; lest they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

13 A ya baa yini bi niba mi jaanjiema po, ŋan yini a luoda leni a tadima leni a waba leni a juama.

But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

14 Lanwani U Tienu baa ŋanbi apo kelima bani wani kan fidi ki guani a a ŋanma. U Tienu ya ti fiini yaaba n tiendi wan bili yaala bi tinkpiba siiga, o baa guani a ma.”

And thou shalt be blessed: for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

15 Yaaba n den ye u saajekaanu kani yendo n den gbadi laa maama, o den yedi Jesu: “Li pamanli ye leni yua n baa ba ki je U Tienu diema nni.”

And when one of them that sat at table with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed [is] he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

16 Jesu den goa ki yedi o: “O nilo den ŋanbi mi jecianma ki yini bi niba boncianla.

Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many:

17 Mi jiema yogunu n pundi, o den soani o naacemo n ban yedi wan yini yaaba: 'Cua mani na kelima li bonla kuli ŋanbi ki gbeni no.”

And sent his servant at supper-time, to say to them that were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.

18 Ama bi kuli yendo yendo den mia sugili. O nikpialo den yedi o naacemo: 'N daa u kuanu, kali min gedi ki ban la u, ŋan mia npo sugili.'

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.

19 One mo den yedi: 'N da naakpakpaadi piiga, n caa ki baan biigi ba, ŋan mia npo sugili.'

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

20 Toa moko den tedi: 'N da taa n pua moala na, lani yaapo n kan fidi ki gedi.'

And another said, I have married a wife: and therefore I cannot come.

21 O naacemo den lebidi ki guani o canbaa kani ki waani o li kuli. Lani o diedaano yeni pali den beni, ke o yedi o naacemo: 'Kua u dogu daamu nni leni u sanu nni ki cuani a luoda leni a tadima leni a juama leni a waba na.'

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 hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

22 Lan yen waamu o naacemo den goa ki yedi o: 'Canbaa, n tieni ŋan bi puogi nni yaala, ama u kaanu go sieni.'

And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

23 Lani canbaa den goa ki yedi o: 'Ña u dogu nni ki gedi a sanbila nni leni a naga balinma, ki tigini bi niba ke ban cua ne ke n diegu n gbie.'

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.

24 N yedi yi ke min den kpa yini yaaba yeni, bi siiga baa yendo kan leni n jiema”

For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited, shall taste my supper.

25 A nigola boncianla den yegi leni Jesu o sancenli nni. O den jigidi ki yedi ba:

And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them,

26 “Yua n cua n kani, o yaa yie o baa leni o naa, leni o pua leni o bila, leni o kpeliba leni o waamu, baa o yuceli mo o kan tua n ŋoadikoa.

If any [man] cometh to me, and hateth not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

27 Yua n ki bugi o dapoanpoanli ki ŋua nni kan fidi ki ya tie n ŋoadikoa.

And whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

28 Yi siiga ŋme baa bua ki maa ki maa li diefoagili ki kan kpa kali ki bandi wan baa biani yaala, ki le o ya pia ya ligi n baa dagidi wan gbeni.

For which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he hath [sufficient] to finish [it]?

29 O yaa tieni yeni, o ya pu li tanpuuli ki naa fidi ki juodi. Yaaba n baa le kuli baa ñuadi o ki yedi:

Lest perhaps after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish [it], all that behold [it] begin to mock him,

30 'O jao na cili li diemaali ki naa fidi ki juodi.'

Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

31 Bi o laa bado n baa ye ki bua ki tuogi bu toabu ki bua ki tuogi leni baditoa ki nan pia toatieba tudapiiga, naani waa ba kpa kali ki biigi o yaa fidi ki biigi o ya baa fidi ki tuogi leni yua n kpendi o kani ki pia toatieba tudapiilie?

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?

32 O ya sua ke o kan fidi, o baa soani o tondiba hali ke yibalo daa ye foagima, ki mia o wan waani o wan bua yaala, ban mangi leni bi yaba.

Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an embassy, and desireth conditions of peace.

33 Li tie yeni, yi siiga yua n ŋa wan pia yaala kuli kan tua n ŋoadikoa.

So likewise, whoever he is of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

34 Mi yaama tie ya bonla n mani, ama maa luo mi manu, bi baa taa be ki go mangi ma?

Salt [is] good: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shall it be seasoned?

35 Maa pia mayuli ki tinga po, maa go pia mayuli ti bugidi po, kali ban lu ma bebe. Yua n pia a tuba ki baa gbadi wan gbadi.”

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.
