Luka 14
1 Aeipumie luhiku lakumukulya, naulongoe munyumba ang'wi ao nuatongeli a Mafarisayo kulya mukate, neenso akumugoza kwa pakupe.
And it came to pass, when Jesus went into the house of one of the chief of the Pharisees, on the sabbath day, to eat bread, that they watched him.
2 Goza, pantongelakwe aukole muntu nuanso aukagigwa nuuimbwa.
And behold, there was a certain man before him that had the dropsy.
3 U Yesu wakaakolya eamanyi kupuma milago la Ayahudi ne Mafarisayo, “Ite izane kumukomya umuntu uluhiku lakukulya, anga singauu?”
And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4 Lakini nianso akilagilye ihetwe, kuite u Yesu wakamuamba, wekamukomya wikamulekela alongole yakwe.
But they held their peace. But he taking him, healed him, and sent him away.
5 Nung'wenso wikamuila, “Nyenyi apaite nukite ung'wana ang'wi ng'ombe wagwila muluze luhiku la kukulya shanga ukumuluta kunzi wapume?”
And answering them, he said: Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out, on the sabbath day?
6 Nianso aeagila anga uhumi wakupumya ulukani kunkani niyanso.
And they could not answer him to these things.
7 Imatungo u Yesu nauagundue naile naalekilwe kina asagae intu niyaheshima, akaaila, kupyani akaaila.
And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:
8 Imatungo nimalekilwe numuntu kuwinga, ukekikie munafasi naheshima, kunsoko iwezekanile walikilwe muntu mungiza nukite heshima kukila uewe.
When thou art invited to a wedding, sit not down in the first place, lest perhaps one more honourable than thou be invited by him:
9 Imatungo umuntu nualekilwe unye nimeabiile angawapike, ukuela uewe, “muhegele uyu enafasi ako” kuite kwa minyala ukonza kuhega nukikie kunyuma.
And he that invited thee and him, come and say to thee, Give this man place: and then thou begin with shame to take the lowest place.
10 Lakini uewe angawalekwe, longola wikie kumwisho ite imatungo angawaza nukualekile, uhumile kuuila uewe, muhumba miane, longola kuntongela kukila.” Kuite ukutula uheshimiwe ntongela aehi neikie palung'wi nuewe pameza.
But when thou art invited, go, sit down in the lowest place; that when he who invited thee, cometh, he may say to thee: Friend, go up higher. Then shalt thou have glory before them that sit at table with thee.
11 Kundogoilyo uyu nuikulya wisimigwa, nuyu nuisimya wikuligwa.
Because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
12 U Yesu akamuila umuntu naumalekile, “Nukupumya indya ya mung'wi ang'wi yampende, lakukualeka eahumba eako ang'wi anya ndugo ako ang'wi antu ang'wi anyakisale ako neatajili, ite kunsoko neaenso akekualika uewe upate ilipo.
And he said to him also that had invited him: When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor thy neighbours who are rich; lest perhaps they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made to thee.
13 Kuleka ite, nukuanya isherehe, aaleke eamasikini, ealema, akewete, niapoku,
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind;
14 nuewe ukukembetwa, kunsoko shangaakulipa. Kundogoelyo ukulipwa muwioki watai.”
And thou shalt be blessed, because they have not wherewith to make thee recompense: for recompense shall be made thee at the resurrection of the just.
15 Imatungo ung'wi ao aewikie mumeza palung'wi nu Yesu naewigule aya, nung'wenso wikaaela, “Ukembetilwe nuanso nuekulya umukute muutemi wang'wi Tunda.
When one of them that sat at table with him, had heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Lakini u Yesu wikaaila, “Muntu ung'we auzepilye sherehe nkulu, akaitanga antu eedu.”
But he said to him: A certain man made a great supper, and invited many.
17 Matungo isherehe naekole tayari, aumutumike umitumi akwe aaele awa naalekilwe, “Pembyi mihi kunsoko iintu yehi ikole tayali.
And he sent his servant at the hour of supper to say to them that were invited, that they should come, for now all things are ready.
18 Ehi, ekatulalompa radhi. Nuang'wandyo akamuila umitumi, ngoile mugunda, lazima nende nulegoze. Itunu unsamile.
And they began all at once to make excuse. The first said to him: I have bought a farm, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee, hold me excused.
19 Numuya wikalunga, Nguile majoki ataano na ng'ombe, nunene niinzu kuagema, itunu unkoelwe.
And another said: I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to try them: I pray thee, hold me excused.
20 Nu muntu mungiza wekalunga, “Ntenile musungu, kuite shanga nzile.”
And another said: I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 Umitumi akasuka akamuila umukulu wakwe emakani nanso. Umukola nyumba wikataka akamuila umitumi wakwe, “Longokaya muisale numukona akisale ualete hapa iamasikini, niakelema, niapoku nawa nialemilwe.”
And the servant returning, told these things to his lord. 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 feeble, and the blind, and the lame.
22 Umitumi wikalunga, mkulu aya nazundagiye ehi namituma, ganitungile ga enafasi kele ekole.”
And the servant said: Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 Mukulu wikamuila umitumi, longola munzila nenkulu uahimize eantu ingiile, ite enyumba ne izule.
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 Kundogoelyo kumuila, kuite awa nialekilwe nung'wandyo shangaukuonza esherehe ane.
But I say unto you, that none of those men that were invited, shall taste of my supper.
25 Ite umati ukulu aealongoe palung'wi nung'wenso, nung'wenso wikapiluka, wikaaila,
And there went great multitudes with him. And turning, he said to them:
26 Angize muntu wizile kitalane nung'wenso shangaumubipiwe utata akwe, musungu wakwe, anaaakwe, anyandugu akwe, agoha nawa niasungu ee, ga nuwikale wakwe ga shanga ukutula mumanyisigwa wane.
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 Umuntu nushanga ukuhola umusalaba wakwe waze kunyuma ane shanga uhumile kutula mumanyisigwa wane.
And whosoever doth not carry his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 Kundogoelyo nyenyu ung'wi anyu, nuhumilwe insula akuzenga umunola shanga ukikie hanza wakadilie engalama kumahesabu kina ukite eke nutakile wahu kukamisha nelanso?
For which of you having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down, and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it:
29 Kuite, baada akuika umusingi nukuleng'wa kumala, ehi naineakanza kumugema.
Lest, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that see it begin to mock him,
30 Akutambula umuntu uyu aewandilye kuzenga, wekatula mugila anga ngulu akumailya.”
Saying: This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 Ite mutemike, nutakile kenda kikua nuutemi nuungiza kumbita, shanga uhumile kikie hanza pihe nukuhola imasigo angize uhumile, palung'wi ni antu elfu ikumi kikua nuutemi nuungiza nuukiza migulya akwe neantu elfu ishilini?
Or what king, about to go to make war against another king, doth not first sit down, and think whether he be able, with ten thousand, to meet him that, with twenty thousand, cometh against him?
32 Kang'wi shangauu, matungo ijeshi nilaangiza kile lekole kule, wetuma momboi kutaka emashariti aamani.
Or else, whilst the other is yet afar off, sending an embassy, he desireth conditions of peace.
33 Kuite gwa, wehi ung'wi ao neshanga ukuleka ehi nanso nukete, shanga uhumile kutula mumanyisigwa ane.
So likewise every one of you that doth not renounce all that he possesseth, cannot be my disciple.
34 Umunyu uza, lakini anga umunyu angaulimilye lauha akwe, ikutula ule utule munyu hange?
Salt is good. But if the salt shall lose its savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 Ngila anga matumizi muudogo hata mumbolea uyu nakite iakutwe ahija nuije.”
It is neither profitable for the land nor for the dunghill, but shall be cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
