लूका 14
1 एक खास मौक्कै पै जिब मसीह आराम कै दिन फरीसियाँ के सरदारां म्ह तै किसे कै घरां रोट्टी खाण नै गया, अर वे सारे उननै घणी उत्सुकता तै देखण लागरे थे।
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].
2 उड़ै एक माणस था, जिसम्ह जलोदर की बीमारी थी।
Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
3 इसपै यीशु नै शास्त्रियाँ अर फरीसियाँ तै कह्या, “के नियम-कायदा के मुताबिक आराम कै दिन आच्छा करणा ठीक सै या न्ही?”
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?”
4 पर वे बोल-बाल्ले रहे। फेर यीशु नै उस रोगी पै हाथ धरकै उस ताहीं ठीक करकै, उस ताहीं बिदा कर दिया।
[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].
5 अर उनतै कह्या, “थारे म्ह तै इसा कौण सै, के जै थारा बेट्टा या बळध कुएँ म्ह आराम कै दिन पड़ज्या अर वो उसनै जिब्बे बाहरणै कोनी लिकड़ै?”
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]?”
6 वे इन बात्तां का कुछ जवाब कोनी दे पाए।
[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.
7 जिब यीशु नै देख्या के न्योंदे होए माणस किस तरियां खास-खास जगहां छाँट लेवैं सै तो एक उदाहरण देकै कह्या,
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:
8 “जिब कोए तन्नै ब्याह म्ह बुलावै, तो खास माणसां की जगहां पै न्ही बैठणा, कदे इसा ना हो के उसनै तेरे तै भी बड़े ताहीं न्योंद राख्या हो,
“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)].
9 अर जिसनै तेरे ताहीं अर उस ताहीं दोनुआ ताहीं न्योंदा दिया सै, आकै कहवै, ‘इसनै जगहां दे,’ अर फेर तन्नै शर्मिन्दा होकै सारया तै पाच्छै बैठणा पड़ै।
[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.
10 पर जिब तू न्योंदा जावै तो सारया तै पाच्छली जगहां बैठ के जिब वो, जिसनै तेरे ताहीं न्योंदा सै आवै, तन्नै कहवै, ‘हे दोस्त, आग्गै बढ़कै बैठ,’ फेर तेरे गेल्या बैठण आळा कै स्याम्ही तेरी बड़ाई होवैगी।
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.
11 क्यूँके जो कोए अपणे-आपनै बड्ड़ा बणावैगा, वो छोट्टा करया जावैगा, अर जो कोए अपणे-आपनै छोट्टा बणावैगा, वो बड्ड़ा करया जावैगा।”
Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
12 फेर यीशु नै फिरीसी तै जिसनै उसका न्योंदा दिया था उसतै कह्या, “जिब तू दिन का या रात का भोज करै, तो अपणे साथियाँ या भाईयाँ या कुण्बे या साहूकार पड़ोसियाँ नै ना न्योंद, कदे इसा ना हो के वे भी तन्नै न्योंदा देवै, अर तेरा बदला हो जावै।
[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.
13 पर जिब तू भोज करै तो कंगाल, टुंडे, लंगड़े अर आंध्याँ नै न्योंद।
Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
14 तब तू धन्य होवैगा, क्यूँके उन माणसां कै धोरै बदले म्ह देण खात्तर कुछ कोनी, परमेसवर तन्नै उस काम का बदला धर्मियाँ कै जिन्दा होण के बाद देवैगा।”
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.”
15 यीशु कै गेल्या खाणा खाण आळा म्ह तै एक नै ये बात सुणकै उसतै कह्या, “धन्य सै वो जो परमेसवर के राज्य म्ह भोज खावैगा।”
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!”
16 यीशु नै उसतै कह्या, “किसे माणस नै बड्ड़ा भोज करया अर घणा ताहीं न्योंदा।
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.
17 जिब खाणा त्यार होग्या तो उसनै अपणे नौक्कर कै हाथ न्योंदे होए माणसां ताहीं कहवां भेज्या, ‘आओ, इब खाणा त्यार सै।’”
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!’
18 “पर वे सारे के सारे माफी माँगण लाग्गे। पैहल्ड़े नै उसतै कह्या, ‘मन्नै खेत मोल लिया सै, अर जरूरी सै के उसनै देक्खूँ, मै तेरे तै बिनती करुँ सूं मन्नै माफ करदे।’”
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!’
19 दुसरे नै कह्या, “मन्नै पाँच जोड़े बळध मोल लिए सै, उननै परखण जाऊँ सूं, मै तेरे तै बिनती करुँ सूं, मन्नै माफ करदे।”
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!’
20 एक और नै कह्या, “मन्नै ब्याह करया सै, इस करकै मै न्ही आ सकदा।”
Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
21 उस नौक्कर नै आकै अपणे माल्लिक ताहीं ये बात कह सुणाई। फेर घर कै माल्लिक नै खुन्दक म्ह आकै, अपणे नौक्कर तै कह्या, “नगर के बजारां अर गळियाँ म्ह इब्बे जाकै कन्गालाँ नै, टुंड्यां नै, लंगड्यां नै, अर आंध्याँ नै उरै लेकै आओ।”
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]!’
22 नौक्कर नै दुबारै कह्या, “हे माल्लिक, जिस ढाळ तन्नै कह्या था, उस्से तरियां ए करया गया सै, अर फेर भी जगहां सै।”
[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].’
23 माल्लिक नै नौक्कर तै कह्या, “सड़कां पै अर बाड़या की कान्ही जा अर माणसां नै मजबूर करकै लिया ताके मेरा घर भरज्या।
[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]!’”
24 क्यूँके मै थमनै कहूँ सूं के उन पैहले बुलाए होड़ माणसां म्ह तै कोए मेरै खाणे नै कोनी चाखैगा।”
[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].”
25 जिब बड्डी भीड़ यीशु कै गेल्या जावै थी, तो उसनै बोहड़कै उनतै कह्या,
Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
26 जै कोए मेरा चेल्ला बणणा चाहवै सै, अर अपणे माँ-बाप अर घरआळी अर बाळकां नै अर भाईयाँ नै अर भाणां नै बल्के अपणे जीवन नै भी मेरे तै ज्यादा प्यार करै सै, तो वो मेरा चेल्ला न्ही हो सकदा।
“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!
27 अर जो कोए अपणे दुखां का क्रूस ना ठावै, अर मेरै पाच्छै न्ही आवै, वो भी मेरा चेल्ला कोनी हो सकदा।
[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.
28 उदाहरण के तौर पै “थारे म्ह तै कौण सै जो घर बणाणा चाह्न्दा हो, अर पैहल्या बैठकै खर्चा न्ही फैळावै के पूरा करण की गुंजास मेरै धोरै सै के न्ही?
[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.
29 जै वो आस ना होया करदा हो, तो जिब वो नीम धर ले पर काम पूरा ना कर पावै, तो सारे देक्खण आळे न्यू कहकै उसका मखौल उड़ावैंगे,
[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.
30 ‘के यो माणस बणाण तो लाग्या पर पूरा कोनी कर पाया?’”
They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
31 या कौण इसा राजा सै जो दुसरे राजा तै युध्द करण जान्दा हो, अर जो विचार करले के जो बीस हजार सैनिक लेकै मेरै पै चढ़या आवै सै, के मै दस हजार सैनिक लेकै उसका सामना कर सकूँ सूं के न्ही?
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].
32 न्ही तो उसके दूर रहन्दे होए वो दूत्तां नै भेजकै उसतै मिलाप करणा चाहवैगा।
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?’
33 इस्से ढाळ थारे म्ह तै कोए अपणा सारा कुछ त्याग न्ही देवै, वो मेरा चेल्ला कोनी हो सकदा।
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.”
34 “नूण तो बढ़िया सै, पर जै नूण का सुवाद जान्दा रहवै, तो वो किस चीज तै नमकीन करया जावैगा।
[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]
35 वो ना तो धरती कै अर ना खाद कै खात्तर काम म्ह आवै सै: उसनै तो माणस बाहरणै बगा देवै सै। जिसके कान हों वो ध्यान तै सुण ले।”
[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!”
