Luke 14
1 Sabathni voikhat chu, Pharisee ulien inkhat ina Jisua bu nêk rangin a siela, mîn an enrichika.
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 Mi inkhat a ke, a bânngei inthing, Jisua kôma a honga.
And then, there in front of Him was a man who had dropsy!
3 Jisua'n, Balam minchupungei le Phariseengei kôma, “Ei Balamin Sabathni mi mindam a phal mo, phal mak mo?” tiin a rekel ngeia.
And Jesus reacted by saying to the lawyers and Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
4 Hanchu an dâireka, Jisua'n damloi hah a sûra, a mindama, a min se zoia.
But they kept silent. So He took hold of him, healed him, and let him go.
5 Hanchu, Jisua'n an kôma, tumakhatin a nâipasal mo, a seratchal mo, Sabathnin tuikhura tâk senla, Sabathni nikhomrese, kelsuo kelen no tunui mo? a tia.
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 Hannisenla ha chong hah tutên thuon thei mak ngei.
And they could not answer Him regarding these things.
7 An mi siel ngei mi senkhatin sukmun asa an thang, a mûn chu Jisua'n hi chongmintêk hih a ril ngeia.
Then He told a parable to those who were invited, having observed how they kept trying for the best places, saying to them:
8 “Mîn inneina ruolhoia nangni an sielin, sukmun asana insung no roi.” nin nêka mi lien uol an sielin chu,
“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 in pumapa no kôma hongin, “Ama hi mun ot roh” tîng a ta mâimôk takin mun innuoina insung ni tih.
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 Manêk han, nang an siela anîn chu mun innuoina insung inla, a pumapa hong a ta, no kôma, “Mala, mun asana hong insung roh tîng a ta, hanchu, khuolmingei makunga mirit lông ni tih.
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 Omlien ngei kai intem an ta, omchîn ngei chu minlutin om an tih,” a tia.
Because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
12 Jisua'n a sielpu kôma khom, “Sûna mo, jâna mo, ruolhoi no tho tikin chu, na malngei mo, na lâibungngei mo, nu sûngsuokngei mo, nu bunga minei ngei mo, siel no roh, nônchu nang siel nôk an ta, nang thuon nôk an tih.
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 Ruolhoi no thôn chu inriengngei, a ôingei, kholrangei, mitchongei siel roh,
But whenever you make a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
14 nang an thuon theiloi sikin sat nang vur sâng a tih, midikngei inthoi nôk tika Pathien'n nang thuon a tih,” a tipea.
and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you—you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
15 Hanchu, a khêng otpui inkhatin a chongril a rieta, a kôma, “Pathien Rêngrama ruolhoia insung rang ngei chu idôra râisân a om rang mo na!” a tia.
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 Jisua'n a kôma, “Mi inkhatin ruolhoi roiinpui tak a minsûka, mi tamtak a siela,
So He said to him: “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many.
17 anêk zora tikin chu a mi siel ngei kôma, ‘Hong ta roi jâttin ânzoi zoi,’ iti rangin a tîrlâm a tîra.
And at meal time he sent his slave to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, because everything is now ready.’
18 Hanchu an rêngin inlêmna an nei chita, A motontak han a kôma, ‘Loi ko rochôka, a en ke se rang, ni muduol roh,’ a tia.
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 Mi dangin, seratchal bop rangnga ko rochôka, a enmindik rangin ke se rang ani, ni lei muduol roh,” a tia.
Another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’
20 Mi dangin, “inkenei suobil kêng ania, masikin hong thei no ning,” a tia.
Yet another said, ‘I have married a wife, and so I cannot come.’
21 Ma tîrlâm hah a se sirin chu a pu a rila. A pumapa hah a takasia, a tîrlâm kôm, “Se lalai inla, kotmâingeia, lamlienngeia, inriengngei, a ôingei, mitchongei, kholrangei hongtuong ngei roh,” a tia.
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 Tîrlâm han a kôma, “O, pu ni ti anghan ko thoa, ania, mun tamtak a la tong” a tia.
And the slave said, ‘Master, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
23 Hanchu a pûn, a tîrlâm kôma han, “Sênla, lamliena, lamkêma mingei, ki in sipna rangin hongtuong lût roh.
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 Nang ki ril, mi ki siel ngei han tutên ka ruolhoia sâk noni ngei a ti,” a tia.
For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet!’”
25 Voikhat chu mipui tampa Jisua leh an inruoia, an tieng ânheia, an kôma,
Now large crowds were traveling with Him, and turning He said to them:
26 “Tutu a nû le a pa, a lômnu le a nâingei, a lâibungngei le a sarnungei, le ama takpum nêka, lungkham mi mu uol nônchu, ko kôma hongin ku ruoisi nithei no nih.
“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 Tukhom ama khros ruputa mi jûi loipu chu ka ruoisingei nithei no nih,” a tia.
And whoever does not carry his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 Tumakhatin in insâng sin rang bôk senla, insungin a sin zoina rang sum a dôn le dônloi mindon bak a tih.
“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 Lungphûm a phûm suole, zoi thei khâi tano senla, a mu nâmin munuisan an tih.
This so he does not lay a foundation without being able to finish, and all who see it begin to ridicule him,
30 A in sin a phut nâka chu, zoi thei khâi mak tîng an tih.
saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish!’
31 Hanchu, tu rêng mo, a mi isângsôm leh rêng danga mi isângsômnik leh ama doi ranga juong, a ngam rang le ngamloi rang, insungin a mindon bak loi rang?
“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 A doi ngamloi rangin chu, alazana an la om lâiin, inngêina sin rangin thangthei tîr a tih.
And if not, while the other is still far away he sends a delegation and asks for terms for peace.
33 Ma anghan, tutu nangni khom a nei murdi a mâk riei nônchu ku ruoisi ni thei no tunui.
“So likewise, any of you who does not renounce all his own possessions cannot be my disciple.
34 “Michi hi asa, ania, a alna boi ta senla chu, min al nôk thei ni khâi mak.
Salt is good; but should the salt become insipid, with what can it be seasoned?
35 Pil rang khomin, ur rang khom sa mak, vôrpai rang vai kêng. Kuor nin dônin chu rangâi roi,” a tia.
It is fit for neither soil nor fertilizer; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
