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.
When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
2 Lola, pavulongolo pa mwene pale nu munu uviagatanchiwaga nu vufimbe.
Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
3 U Yisu avunchi nje khu vamanya ndagilo va Vayahudi na Vamafalisayo, “Lino, lweli ukhuponniya isikhu iya sikhu iya Sabato, lino lweli?”
Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
4 Pi avene vakhava mye, pu uYisu akhamwibata, akhaponiya nu khupa uvugatalufu akhavuya khu myave.
But they were silent. 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?”
He answered them, “Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, wouldn’t immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”
6 Avene savakhava ne lwakhuunchova khukhuhumya ilijibu khu mbombo yoni.
They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.
7 Usikhi uYisu alumanyile ukhuta vala avilangiwe vave vanchaguliwe alumanyile ukhuta vala avilangiwe vave vanchaguliwe, ifigoda ifya ifidwadiwa akhavavula ikhikhwani, akhavavula,
He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
8 “Usikhi vuvikhuhwilanga khuvutolani, ulekhe ukhutama khuvavaha, ulwakhuva khwale umunu umbaha uvevi khudwada avanu voni.
“When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by 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 who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would 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 you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
11 Ulwakhuva uviikhiyinula ayikhwisiwa, nu vikhwikha ayikhwinuliwa. '
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will 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.
He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
13 Pu lino, w wovuvomba uluhekhelo, uvalondage avalemilwe avaganchu avasavigenda na vasavilola.
But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
14 pu uve wiva insayiwa, ulwakhuva savakhakhuhombe. Pu uve ulahombwa khuvunchukhwa uwa nyavulweli.”
and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”
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!”
When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in God’s Kingdom!”
16 Pu uYisu akhavavula, “Umunu umo aitesaninche ukhuvikha uluhekhelo uluvakha alundenine avanu avingi.
But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
17 Vu usikhi ugwa luhekhelo gufikhe, asuhile umbombi va mwene ukhavavule vala avanilangile, `'Mwinchage, ulwakhuva ifinu fyoni fivekhiwe nu khwincha khwilya.
He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’
18 Voni, vakhatengula ukhudova uvusikhilo. Uvakhwancha akhanjova, 'Imbaha, nigulile ikyalo, niluta khwilola. Nikhukhudova usikhile.'
They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please have me excused.’
19 Nu yunge akhanchova, negulile isenga incha khulimila niluta khukhugala ndanchilima, nidova uvusyekhilo.'
“Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’
20 Umunu uyunge akhanchova akhata, 'Nilinuwinga saniwesya ukhundakha udala vango mwene sanikhinche.'
“Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t 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.”
“That 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 the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’
22 Uvambombo akhanchova, `Itwa, goni aga gagoukhalagile ni malile ukhuvomba lino inafasi payile.'
“The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’
23 Utwa akhambula umbombi, 'Luta munchila nchoni, nchila malekhano na munchila imbaha incha khu visolisoli uvumilinche avanu vigile inyumba yango yidige.
“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 Ulwakhuva nikhuvavula khu vala avilangiwe ukhuhuma khuvutengulilo asikhuli uviyakhiva ivoncha uluhekhelo lwango. '
For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few are chosen.’”
25 Lino avanyalulundamano uluvaha valutaga pupaninye nu mwene, nu mwene akhavasyetukhila nukhuvavula,
Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to 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 anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t be my disciple.
27 Umunu uvisitola ikhidamili ng'ani khumwene nu khwincha khusana gwa mwene siwesya ukhuva ikhongi vango.
Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross and come after me, can’t 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, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
29 Ulwakhuva, vu avikhile ulwuoto nu khulemwa ukhumala, voni valiwene vitengula ukhukhinela nu benapula,
Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
30 valikhunchova, Umunu uyu ategwile ukhusimukha, akhavambula makha aga khumala.'
saying, ‘This man began to build and wasn’t 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 goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes 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 sends an envoy and asks for conditions of peace.
33 Ulwakhuva uva venchaga mugati mundyiumwe, uvisikhufilekha fyoni, ifyalinafye, siwesya ukhuva ikhongi vango.
So therefore, whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.
34 Umwinyo inonu, lino gungave umwinyo guanchinche ukhunoga, wigaha ndakhi ukhuta guve mwinyo?
“Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
35 Gusikhuli nu khuguvombela khulifu na khumbolela, gutagiwa khuvutali. Umwene uviali nu mbulukhutu incha khupulihincha pu apulikhe.”
It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
