Lukaj 14

1 KADEKADEO ni a kotilon on nan im en kaun pan Parijar amen, pwen konot ni ran en iapat; a irail majamajan i.

And it happened, 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 A kilan, aramaj amen mia waja o, me lijonepo.

And look, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.

3 Iejuj ap kotin japen majani on jaunkawewe o Parijiir akan: Me pun, en kakelada ni ran en japat?

Yeshua, answering, spoke to the Law scholars and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"

4 Irail nenenla. I ap kotin jair i, kakelada o kadara wei.

But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.

5 Ap kotin japen majani on irail: Ij re omail, me na aj de kau pupedi on nan por o, me jo pan madan apiada jan ni ran en japat?

He answered them, "Which of you, if your son or an ox fell into a well, would not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?"

6 A irail jota kak japenki i meakot.

But they could make no reply to this.

7 A kotin majani on toun kapar karajeraj eu, ni a kotin mani, me re inon ion en mondi ni tapin tepel, majani on irail:

He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,

8 Koe lao pan luke don kamadip en kapapaud ren meamen, ender mondi on leppantam, pwe ele amen, me lapa jan koe lukedor.

"When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, do not sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,

9 O me luk uk edo o pil i, pan kodo indai on uk: Ki on ol men et deu om! A koe pan namenok kodido on nan roulap.

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 A koe lao paluke, kola mondi on nan roulap, pwe me luke uk lao pwarado, en indai on uk: Kompoke pai, kotidato! Koe ari pan kaindand nan pun en ir, me ian uk ni tepel.

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 Pwe karoj me kin kajapwilada pein i, pan kajapwilidi, o me kin kajapwilidi pein i, pan kajapwilada.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."

12 Ap pil kotin majani on me lukedo i: Kom lao wiada konot en ni jauaj de nin jautik, eder lukedo kompokepa om ko, de ri om akan, de jau om, de men imp om kapwapwa kan, pwe re de pil luke uk, o depuk on uk.

He also said to the one who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, do not 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 A ma koe pan wia kamadip, en lukedo me jamama o me pali duk kai, o me jikilikil, o me majkun akan.

But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

14 Koe ari pan meid pai, pwe irail jota pan kak depuk on uk, a a pan depuk on uk ni ran o, me pun kan pan maureda.

and you will be blessed, because they do not have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous."

15 A amen ir, me ian ni tepel o lao ronadar mepukat, ap potoan on i: Meid pai, me pan jak prot nan wein Kot.

Now when one of those who were reclining with him heard these things, he said to him, "Blessed is he who will eat bread in the Kingdom of God."

16 A a kotin majani on i: Aramaj amen mia, me wiadar kamadip lapalap o luke pena me toto.

But he said to him, "A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.

17 O kadarala na ladu o ni dokan kamadip, pwen kaire kin irail, me pan toun kapar: Komail ukedo, pwe meakaroj onoper.

And he sent his servant at the hour for supper to tell those who were invited, 'Come, for everything is ready now.'

18 Irail ap wiaki eu ikidiki okotme. Men maj indai on i: I netiada jap eu, i pan kola kilan; i poeki re om, koe en kadar ia la.

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 A amen inda: I pwainda kau ol ek, a met i pan kola kilan ir; i poeki re om, koe en kadar ia la.

"Another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.'

20 A amen inda: I paudeki li amen, i me i jota kak kokila.

"Another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'

21 Ladu o ari purodo, kaireki a monjap meakan. Monjap o ap makara kidar indai on a ladu: Tane wei nani al laud o al tikitik en kanim o wado me jamama kan, o me pali duk, o me jikilikil, o me majkun akan.

"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 A ladu o indada: Main, a wiauier duen omui majan, a deun akai pil pil mia.

"The servant said, 'Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.'

23 Monjap o ap indai on a ladu: Kakan jili nani al o ni kailan kel akan, papain ir do, pwe im ai en tounla!

"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 A i indai on komail, nan jota amen ren ol oko, me paluke, pan jon ai kamadip.

For I tell you that none of those individuals who were invited will taste of my supper.'"

25 A pokon kalaimun idauenla i. I ari jaupei on irail majani:

Now large crowds were going with him. He turned and said to them,

26 Meamen kodo re i, ap jo maliela jam a, o in a, o a paud, o na jeri kan, o ri a ol, o li akan, o pil pein maur a, nan a jota pan kak ai tounpadak.

"If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

27 A meaen jo kida a lopu o idauen ia do, a jota pan kak ai tounpadak.

Whoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

28 Pwe ij re omail, me pan kauada im en taulik eu, me jota pan mondi maj ap lamelame duen pwain a, ma a pan kak on de jo?

For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

29 Pwe a de pajonedi, ap jota kak kanikiel; a karoj, me udial, pan kaurureki i,

Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

30 Indada: Aramaj men et pikikidi kauada im, ap jota kak kanikiela.

saying, 'This man began to build, and was not able to finish.'

31 De ij nanmarki o, me pan mauin on amen nanmarki, me jota pan mondi maj ap lamelame, ma a pan kak kaloekidi aramaj nen aramaj rianen?

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 A ma jo, a pan kadarala men kadar akai, poekipoeki muei mau ni ara non doo pajan.

Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.

33 Nan iduen amen amen komail, me jo muei jan meakaroj, nan a jota pan kak ai tounpadak.

So therefore whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.

34 Jol me mau, a ma jol jarajan, da me a pan kanomanom mau kida?

Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?

35 A jolar mau on nan jap, pil jo nan pwel, pwe aramaj kin kajela. Me jalon a mia men ron, I en ron!

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."
