Luka 14

1 Yabha nawinjila mhati mnyumba eya mntu omo mmiongoni mwagosi abhe Mafarisayo isiku elyatoye, alye eshalye bharibhahuzijira.

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him.

2 Enya, hwitagalila lyakwe hwalimntu obhino owe safura.

And behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.

3 O Yesu wagalula wabhabhola abhane sheria na Farisayo, “Eshi, shinzi apome isiku Elyatoye, au seshasho?”

And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?

4 Abhahale bhapoma wakhata waponia, waruhusu abharaje omwene.

And they held their peace. And he took [him] and healed him, and let him go;

5 Wabhabhora wenu kati yenyu ambaye engombe yakwe au edogomi yakwe etumbushiye mwilende wenu yasaga agavumbula isiku elyatoye?”

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not forthwith pull him out on the sabbath?

6 Wape sebhawezizye galule enongwa ezi.

And they could not answer him again to these things.

7 Abhabhola ofwano bhala bhahanilwe, nalolile nabhasalula amatengo aga hwitangalila wayanga,

And he put forth a parable to those who were invited, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying to them,

8 “Nkoyanilwe no muntu hu harusi, oganje akhala amatengo aga hwitagalila, ogajebhe aje oyanilwe omntu yaheshimiwa ashile awe.

When thou art invited by any [man] to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room, lest a more honorable man than thou be invited by him;

9 Wenza ola yabhanile awe nomwene, nahubhole osegulishe ono esho shobhahwande abhenesoni awene itengo elya hwisalo.

And he that invited thee and him, shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

10 Ila nkoyanwe bhalaga okhala pitengo elya hwisalo, nkashile ola yamwanile abhole, `Rafiki wane, enzaga hwitagalila.” esho pobhabhe nehema hwitagalila elya bhantu wonti bhakheye pandwemo nawe.

But when thou art invited, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that invited thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honor in the presence of them that sit at table with thee.

11 Afanaje kila wahwikuzya ahwisiwa wape wahwiyisya azuviwa. '

For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

12 Wabhola ola ya mwanile nobhomba eshalye esha pasanya au esha nandwebhela, uganje abhakwizye arafiki bhaho wala aholo bhaho wala amwenyu bhaho wala ajirani bhaho bhabhalineshoma wape bhasahenze bhamwana awe wapata alipe.

Then said he also to him that invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor [thy] rich neighbors; lest they also invite thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

13 Eshi nobhomba eshikurukuru bhakwizye apena, alema, na viwete avipofu,

But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

14 nawe obhabhe nafu afwanaje ebhoselinahahulipe afwanaje wayilipwa nawayi owazyoshe owelyoli.”

And thou shalt be blessed: for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

15 Nawe nawovwa ego omo owabhala bhakheye pashalye pandwemo nawo abholele, “Nafu ola yabhalye ibumunda katika Oumwene owa Ngolobhe!”

And when one of them that sat at table with him heard these things, he said to him, Blessed [is] he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

16 Wabhola omntu omo abhombile eshikurukuru eshigosi, ahanile abhantu abhinji.

Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many:

17 Wasontezya obhomba mbombo wakwe esala eyeshalye abhabhole bhala bhabhanilwe, `'Enzaji, afwanaje evintu vyonti vibhehwelwe tayari.'

And sent his servant at supper-time, to say to them that were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.

18 Bhahandile bhonti, afumye audhuru hunia emo. Owahwande abholele, 'Enkarile ogonda, ehwanzaje embale endwenye. Ehulabha onsajile.'

And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

19 Owamwabho wayanga, `'Enkarile eng'ombe, ejozi zisanu embala azilenje ehulabha onsajile.'

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

20 Owamwabho wayanga, 'Enejile oshe, afwatanesho sebwezizye ahwenze.'

And another said, I have married a wife: and therefore I cannot come.

21 Ola osontelezi wabhala wabhola ogosi wakwa enongwa zye mambo ego. Basi ola omwanesho nyumba wavitwa, `'Wabhola osontizi wakwe fuma nanali obhale mwidara igosi na mvichochoto evi boma obhalete epa apena, na lema na vipofu na viwete.”

So that servant came, and showed 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 the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

22 Osontizi wayanga, `Gosi ego golajizizye gamalishe abhombeshe, hata sheshi nemo enafasi.'

And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

23 Ogosi wabhola osontezi, 'Fuma hwonze obhale hubalabala na mpaho obhashurutishe ahwinjile mhati, enyumba yane ebhe ememile.

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 Eshi embabhola yaje katika bhala bha bhahanilwe sahweli hata omo yabhayilenje eshikurukuru shane. '

For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited, shall taste my supper.

25 Amabongano aminji nabhali bhahubhenjeya wape, agalushe wabhabhola,

And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to them,

26 'Nkashele omntu nkayeze hwiline wape sahuvitu oyise wakwe, no nyine wakwe, noshe wakwe, na bhana bhakwe, na holo bhakwe abheshilume na bhesheshe- nantele hata enafsi yakwe yoyo sawezizye abha mwanafunzi wane.

If any [man] cometh to me, and hateth not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

27 Omntu yoyonti yasayeji eshikhobhohanyo shakwe nahwenzi hwisalo lyane sawezizye abha mwanafunzi wane.

And whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

28 Eshi wenu kati amwe, nkashile ohwanza azenje omnara yasakhala nasoti na bhazye egharama aje alinavyo evyamalelezye?

For which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he hath [sufficient] to finish [it]?

29 Asibhe wamenwa amale baada eyazenje omsingi abhantu wonti bhabhalola bhaganda huseshe,

Lest perhaps after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish [it], all that behold [it] begin to mock him,

30 bhayanga, Omntu ono ahandile azenje wabha salinamaha aga malezyenje.'

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

31 Au huli no mwene wele, nkahwanza abhale alwe no mwene owenje yasakhala nsoti na abhombe ajehane, aje omwahale pandwemo na bhantu elfu kumi agawezya atangane nola yahwenza juu yakwe na bhantu elfu ishilini?

Or what king going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

32 Na nkashile walola sewezizye asontezya oujumbe ogwahwanza eamani omntu ola salihutari.

Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an embassy, and desireth conditions of peace.

33 Shila omo wenyu yasaleshile vyonti vyalinavyo sawezizye abhe mwanafunzi wane.

So likewise, whoever he is of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

34 Omwoni hantu ahinza, lelo omwoni nkashile gunanjishe oponyeye nu ili gukhole?

Salt [is] good: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shall it be seasoned?

35 Seguhwanziwa mnsi wala jaa abhantu bhaitaga hwonze. Yali namakutu agatejezye, na ayovwe.”

It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, [but] men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
