Luk 14
1 Sa siit Jehudi naangtongsa di Jisu Pharisi nok hate wasiit phokhoh nok ni phaksat phaksah kata; eno miloong ah ih Jisu ah teptep et ban sok rumta.
Then it happened, when He entered the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees to eat bread on the Sabbath, that they were watching Him closely.
2 Mih wasiit heh sook nyia heh lah pheng arah Jisu reeni chap wang taha,
And then, there in front of Him was a man who had dropsy!
3 eno Jisu ih Hootthe nyootte nyi Pharasi loong asuh chengta, “Seng Hootthe jun ih Naangtongsa doh mih edeesiit tam tadeesiit thukka?”
And Jesus reacted by saying to the lawyers and Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
4 Eno neng tumjih uh tajeng rumta. Jisu ih khoisatte ah toonsiit ano deesiitta, eno kaat thukta.
But they kept silent. So He took hold of him, healed him, and let him go.
5 Eno baat rumta, “Sen wasiit thandoh sen sah adoleh seng maanpong Jehudi naangtongsa doh habeng nah mok datti abah, sen ih echaan ih erah saasa doh etoonsiit tam tatoonsiit kan?”
Then He addressed them saying, “Which of you, if a son or an ox falls into a pit, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?”
6 Eno neng ih erah tiit ah tami ngaakbaat rumta.
And they could not answer Him regarding these things.
7 Wenwah loong ih neng tongtheng ese se ah jam rum arah Jisu ih jat ano, heh ih arah tiitthaak tiit ah neng suh baatta:
Then He told a parable to those who were invited, having observed how they kept trying for the best places, saying to them:
8 “O ih bah uh sen kuhoon sadung nah poon han radoh, sen tongtheng eseethoon adoh latong theng. Sen nang ih elong mina uh mok poon et ah,
“Whenever you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not recline in the place of honor, in case someone more honorable than you has been invited by him;
9 set wanyi nyi poontte changte ah ra haano mok baat ho, ‘Arah doh arah wah ah toomtong ah eah.’ Eno an ah rakmuurakke ih enum nah dattong jih ang ah.
then he who invited you both will come and say, ‘You, give this man place!’ and then, with shame, you start to take the lowest place.
10 Erah nang ih, an mih ih poonho doh, kah uno tongtheng enumthoon adoh tongka uh, eno changte ah ra haano toombaat jaho, ‘Ngah jiiwah wang ho, tongtheng ese ko ih tong wangho.’ Erah doh an ah wahoh wenwah loong miksok doh khosoong naaloong ang uh.
Rather, whenever you are invited, go and recline in the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will have honor in the presence of your fellow guests.
11 Tumeah o ih heteewah suh elong ih thiik ah erah ehin ih hoon ah, eno o mina ih heh teeteewah suh ehin ih thiik ah erah elong ih hoon ah.”
Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 Eno Jisu ih neng poonte wah asuh baatta, “An ih maatok doh rangnih phaksat adoleh rangja phaksat ang koja bah uh mih poon ubah, babah uh an jiiwah adoleh anphoh anno nyia an joonte adoleh ankhuung antok nawa changteng loong ah lapoon theng tumeah neng ih an ewe ngaak poon et ho, eno an ih marah taat koh rumtu erah hephoopho we ih ngaak koho.
Then He said directly to His host: “Whenever you give a dinner or a supper, do not invite your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid.
13 Sen ih sadung phaksat hoon anbah, changthih, ekoong nyia edook loong ah poon an;
But whenever you make a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
14 eno ba romseetam ah choh an, tumeah neng ih sen suh tajen ngaakthem ran. Rangte ih sen suh heh mina loong tek nawa ngaaksaatja doh ngaakthem han.”
and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you—you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
15 Jisu damdi teebun ni roong tongte wenwah wasiit ih erah japchaat ano, Jisu suh liita, “Marah mina Rangte Hasong nah sadung adoh choh roong tongte loong ah tumthan tenroon ang ah!”
Well when one of the fellow-recliners heard these things, he said to Him, “Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the Kingdom of God!”
16 Jisu ih heh suh baatta, “Teewadi mih wasiit ih saroom dungnuh ni warep mina lompoonta.
So He said to him: “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many.
17 Eno sadung tok ah chang kano, heh ih heh laksuh asuh wenwah loong ah poonkaat thukta, ‘Wanghan, jirep ah khookham cho!’
And at meal time he sent his slave to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, because everything is now ready.’
18 Eno miloong ah ih wasiit wasiit ih, jaat hoh kaatthet ah diipbaat rum ano tawang rumta. Jaakhothoon poonta warah ih laksuh asuh baatta, ‘Ngah ih phek ena retang erah sokkah ang: ethih nak choh uh.’
But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him: ‘I bought a field, and I need to go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’
19 Erah lih dowa wasiit ah ih we liita, ‘Ngah ih maanpong asih retang ah loong ah phek nah phek bok thaak siitkaatte anglang, erah thoidoh tajap ra rang ethih nakthun uh.’
Another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’
20 Erah lilih wasiit ih we liita, ngah ih amamah di nga kuhoon tang, erah thoidoh ngah tajen raarang.’
Yet another said, ‘I have married a wife, and so I cannot come.’
21 “Eno laksuh ah ngaakwang ano jaatrep tiit heh changte asuh baat wanta. Changte ah rapne ih khah ano heh laksuh asuh baatta, ‘Echaan ih kah uno lam nawa nyia hadaang hadaang nawa, changthih loong ah nyia ekoong, edook loong ah, ngaak poonkah uh.’
So that slave came and reported these things to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his slave, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’
22 Erah damdam laksuh rah ih liita, ‘An ih baat hu jengkhaap ah tadaanke, changte, enoothong nok abah balam uh jaachaak dook.’
And the slave said, ‘Master, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
23 Eno changte rah ih laksuh asuh baatta, deek akaan lamrep nah kah uno miloong ah poonkah uh eno nga nok ah eme toom eah.
Then the master said to the slave: ‘Go out to the roads and hedges and make people come in, so that my house may be filled.
24 Ngah ih thoontang suh baat rumhala takkhoh taat poon rumtang loong ah rangja phaksat ah nak toom phaksah ra rumha!’”
For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet!’”
25 Saasiit mih hantek Jisu damdam ih roongkhoom rum adi, heh ih ngaak sok ano baat rumta,
Now large crowds were traveling with Him, and turning He said to them:
26 “O nga jiinni thokte rah nga liphante tajen angka, ngah ah nengnuh nengwah, neng minuh nyia neng sah, nyia neng phoh neng nah, eno neng teeteewah nang ih ehan lamok mongnook rumrang bah ah.
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.
27 O ih neng teeteewah bangphak ah hui ano nga linah lajen roong khoom ra bah nga liphante tajen angka.
And whoever does not carry his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 “Sen dowa o ih bah uh nok echoong hoon suh kaankoong anbah, jaakhothoon ah tong uh no ngun mathan taan wang ih chaak rookwet uh eno ba jat uh nok jen hoonjih ngun ah eli tam taliika eah.
“Further, which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and calculate the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?
29 Emah lah angka bah, an nok thongbeng ah thootcho, thathom doh toohaat jih ih hoon ah; eno mih ih sok ho doh engiit jih ang ah.
This so he does not lay a foundation without being able to finish, and all who see it begin to ridicule him,
30 Neng ih amet li ho ‘An ih an nok ah taat phang hoon uno etoohaat bowe hu nih!
saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’
31 “Luungwang wasiit ih haajaat asih mih ah siit ano luungwang wahoh ih, haajaat rooknyi mih siit arah damdoh rookmui suh, jaakhoh heh ih chaak samthun et ah erathan mina damdoh ejen muujih tam lajen muujih rah ah.
“Or what king, going to engage another king in battle, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
32 Heh ih lajen taaka bah, kongphaak huite daapkaat ano luungwang damdoh chomui ah, eno nuumi hoon raangtaan ih baat ah maang rookmui rumka ngakhoh nah ah.
And if not, while the other is still far away he sends a delegation and asks for terms for peace.
33 Erah likhiik ih, “Jisu ih thoonbaatta, “O ang an bah uh jaatrep ah lajen thiinhaat kanbah nga liphante tajen angkan.
“So likewise, any of you who does not renounce all his own possessions cannot be my disciple.
34 “Sum ah ese, enoothong sumwaan ah mok thoon abah, lamhoh nawa ih sum ah we ngaak sumthuk jih tajeeka.
Salt is good; but should the salt become insipid, with what can it be seasoned?
35 Erah ah hah nah tumjih maak doh tachapka adoleh khaat et suh uh taseeka ang ah; ehaat etjih ba ang ah. Erah thoidi ih chaat et an, sen na je abah ah!”
It is fit for neither soil nor fertilizer; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
