Lukha 14
1 Yahumile isikhu iya Sabato, pu avile iluta khu njengo khwa munu yumo aviale imbaha va Mafarisayo kwilya ikhisyesye avene valikhundolela pa wipi.
And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.
2 Lola, pavulongolo pa mwene pale nu munu uviagatanchiwaga nu vufimbe.
And behold, there was before him a certain man which had the dropsy.
3 U Yisu avunchi nje khu vamanya ndagilo va Vayahudi na Vamafalisayo, “Lino, lweli ukhuponniya isikhu iya sikhu iya Sabato, lino lweli?”
And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?
4 Pi avene vakhava mye, pu uYisu akhamwibata, akhaponiya nu khupa uvugatalufu akhavuya khu myave.
But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.
5 Umwene akhavavula, “Veni umunu khulyumwe uvi ali nu mwana isenga iyiyingile mukhihulu ikya magasi isikhu iya Sabato sakha khwege khuuchi na mbivi?”
And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day?
6 Avene savakhava ne lwakhuunchova khukhuhumya ilijibu khu mbombo yoni.
And they could not answer again unto these things.
7 Usikhi uYisu alumanyile ukhuta vala avilangiwe vave vanchaguliwe alumanyile ukhuta vala avilangiwe vave vanchaguliwe, ifigoda ifya ifidwadiwa akhavavula ikhikhwani, akhavavula,
And he spake a parable unto those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them,
8 “Usikhi vuvikhuhwilanga khuvutolani, ulekhe ukhutama khuvavaha, ulwakhuva khwale umunu umbaha uvevi khudwada avanu voni.
When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him,
9 Usikhi umunu uviavilangile umwe mwivavili angafikhe, ikhukhuvula uve, hega umunu uyu itama apa, nu ve vuhega khusoni soni, vutengula ukhuluta khutama khu vumalilo.
and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place.
10 Pu uve vangakhwilange, luta ukhatame khuvumalilo nu sikhi ugu umunu akhwilangile khululundamano vuinchile akhuvule, gwe higo, injango luta khuvulongolo ukhulutilila, `Pu wiva akhwimikhe khuvolongolo ukhulutilila voni avatamile nu mwene pa mesa.
But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.
11 Ulwakhuva uviikhiyinula ayikhwisiwa, nu vikhwikha ayikhwinuliwa. '
For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
12 Pu uYisu ambulile umunu uviamwilangile, 'Vuwihumya ikyakhula ikya pamusi na khukhimihe, ulekhe ukwilanga avaninyo nu valukhololwo nakho, avamubadihine vakho, avambadihine vakho na vatayili, ulwakhuva wita vinche vakhwilange nu yuve khukhwupila uluhombo.
And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbours; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.
13 Pu lino, w wovuvomba uluhekhelo, uvalondage avalemilwe avaganchu avasavigenda na vasavilola.
But when thou makest a feast, bid the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 pu uve wiva insayiwa, ulwakhuva savakhakhuhombe. Pu uve ulahombwa khuvunchukhwa uwa nyavulweli.”
and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not [wherewith] to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.
15 Usikhi gumo khuvala avatamile pa mesa paniniye nu Yisu avile apulikhe ago, nu mwene akhavavula, “Asayiwe ula uviyakhiva ilya ikhi syesye khu Vutwa wa Nguluve!”
And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 Pu uYisu akhavavula, “Umunu umo aitesaninche ukhuvikha uluhekhelo uluvakha alundenine avanu avingi.
But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many:
17 Vu usikhi ugwa luhekhelo gufikhe, asuhile umbombi va mwene ukhavavule vala avanilangile, `'Mwinchage, ulwakhuva ifinu fyoni fivekhiwe nu khwincha khwilya.
and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for [all] things are now ready.
18 Voni, vakhatengula ukhudova uvusikhilo. Uvakhwancha akhanjova, 'Imbaha, nigulile ikyalo, niluta khwilola. Nikhukhudova usikhile.'
And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I must needs go out and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19 Nu yunge akhanchova, negulile isenga incha khulimila niluta khukhugala ndanchilima, nidova uvusyekhilo.'
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 Umunu uyunge akhanchova akhata, 'Nilinuwinga saniwesya ukhundakha udala vango mwene sanikhinche.'
And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 Umbaha akhavuya khumyave nu khumbula utwa va mwene imbombo incho. Umunu uva vuujenge uwa avipile, akhavavula avambombo va mwene, `'Mulutage munchila ujoni na nduhengo munjengo mukhavalete apa, avaganchu, avalemilwe, avasavilola, nu vavosavigenda.”
And the servant came, and told 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 maimed and blind and lame.
22 Uvambombo akhanchova, `Itwa, goni aga gagoukhalagile ni malile ukhuvomba lino inafasi payile.'
And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room.
23 Utwa akhambula umbombi, 'Luta munchila nchoni, nchila malekhano na munchila imbaha incha khu visolisoli uvumilinche avanu vigile inyumba yango yidige.
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain [them] to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 Ulwakhuva nikhuvavula khu vala avilangiwe ukhuhuma khuvutengulilo asikhuli uviyakhiva ivoncha uluhekhelo lwango. '
For I say unto you, that none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25 Lino avanyalulundamano uluvaha valutaga pupaninye nu mwene, nu mwene akhavasyetukhila nukhuvavula,
Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them,
26 'Ingave umunu ikhwincha khulyune, uvisikhugatancha udadaye va mwen, nu vanina va mwene nu dala va mwene, avagosi na vadala- lweli, na mbutamilo wa vene savakhawesya ukhuva vakhongi vango.
If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 Umunu uvisitola ikhidamili ng'ani khumwene nu khwincha khusana gwa mwene siwesya ukhuva ikhongi vango.
Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 Pu veni khulyumwe, uviinongwa ukhusimikha unara sakhatame tasi ukhusaga imbalilo ilingi, ikhi inogwa ukhumalana nikyo?
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have [wherewith] to complete it?
29 Ulwakhuva, vu avikhile ulwuoto nu khulemwa ukhumala, voni valiwene vitengula ukhukhinela nu benapula,
Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him,
30 valikhunchova, Umunu uyu ategwile ukhusimukha, akhavambula makha aga khumala.'
saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 Pu itwa mukhi, anganogwe ukhuluta khutovana nu Ntwa uyunge khwilwa uvisitama pasi nu khusaga ukhulonda ulwidihano, ukhuta lino yuniwesya, paniniye na vanu ava elfukhinchigo ukhutovana nu Ntwa uyunge uvikhwincha khukyanya khu mwene na vanu elfu ishirini?
Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32 Upu ingave usikhi sagufikhe, ugwa khipuga ikhinge khili khuvutali, pu visuha undoleli khulonda uvunonu lunonchehencho.
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace.
33 Ulwakhuva uva venchaga mugati mundyiumwe, uvisikhufilekha fyoni, ifyalinafye, siwesya ukhuva ikhongi vango.
So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34 Umwinyo inonu, lino gungave umwinyo guanchinche ukhunoga, wigaha ndakhi ukhuta guve mwinyo?
Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 Gusikhuli nu khuguvombela khulifu na khumbolela, gutagiwa khuvutali. Umwene uviali nu mbulukhutu incha khupulihincha pu apulikhe.”
It is fit neither for the land nor for the dunghill: [men] cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
