Luka 14
1 Nabumbi busuba bwa Sabata Yesu walakwiwa kuya kulya kung'anda ya mukulene wa Bafalisi. Popelapo Bafalisi bali kabamulangishisha.
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 Lino pantangu pakendi Yesu palikuba muntu walikuba washimba mubili.
And look, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
3 Lino Yesu walepusha Bafalisi ne beshikwiyisha Milawo eti, “Sena Milawo ikute kusuminisha kushilika muntu pa busuba bwa Sabata nambi ne?”
Yeshua, answering, spoke to the Law scholars and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?"
4 Nsombi balo balamwenowa. Lino Yesu walamanta muntu uyo, wamushilika nekumwambileti koya.
But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
5 Popelapo Yesu walabepusheti, “Nomba nibani pakati penu. Na ng'ombe iwila mumukalo pa busuba bwa Sabata, sena nkela kwisabula pa cindico?”
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 Lino balalilwa kumukumbula.
But they could make no reply to this.
7 Yesu mpwalabona bantu balakwiwa kulya nendi balatatika kulisalila bipuna byabulemu, walabambila mukoshanisho eti,
He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,
8 “Na muntu umukuwa kubwinga, mutekalanga pacipuna ca bulemu, pakwinga uyo muntu lamukuwu inga kakute bambi bapita amwe ba bulemu.
"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 Neco uyo walamukuwa mwense mobabili nakese akamwambileti, kamufumani apa, pani cipuna ici kumuntu uyu, Lino nimukanyumfwe insoni mwakanyamuka kuya kwikala pa cipuma cabula bulemu.
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 Nomba na bamukuwa, kamuyani mwikale pabusena bwabula kuba bwabulemu kwambeti uyo mwine lamukuwu akamwambileti, ‘Kamwisani mwikalile pano, pa cipuna ca bulemu.’ Ici nicikakupe bulemu pamenso abantu bonse mbowalakwiwa nabo.
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 Pakwinga muntu uliyense weshikulisumpula nakacepeshewe nsombi muntu weshikulicepesha nakasumpulwe.”
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
12 Lino Yesu walambila Mufalisi walabakuweti, “Na mulakuwu bantu kwisakulya nabo cakulya ca munshi nambi ca mansailo, mutakuwa banenu, bakamukowa, ne bamakwenu nambi banobe babile, pakwinga naboyo nga bamukuwani, neco ngamutambulila limo cipo cenu.
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 Nsombi na ulabamba byakulya byakusekelela, kuwa bakandu ne balema kayi ne bampofu.
But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;
14 Lino nukapewe colwe, pakwinga balo nkabela kucikonsha kumubweshela. Lesa nakamubweshele pabusuba ubo baswepa bakapunduka kubafu.”
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 Muntu umbi palyabo Yesu mbwalikulyanabo, mpwalanyumfwa makani aya, walambila Yesu eti, “Walelekwa uyo eti akalye nabo pakusekelela mu Bwami bwa Lesa.”
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 Nendi Yesu walakumbuleti, “Kwalikuba muntu umbi walabamba malyalya kwambeti basekelele, ne kukuwa bantu bangi.
But he said to him, "A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.
17 Cindi camalyalya mpocalashika walatuma musebenshi wakendi kuya kubakuwa nekubambileti, kamwisani bintu byonse bilabambiwa.
And he sent his servant at the hour for supper to tell those who were invited, 'Come, for everything is ready now.'
18 Nsombi bonse balakwiwa balatalika kwamba bintu byalabatatisha. Mutanshi walambeti, ndaulu libala neco ndelela kuya kulibona. Bandekeleleko nteti njise.”
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 Umbi walambeti, Ndaulu ng'ombe shakwana bipani bisanu, ndenga akushelesha, mundekeleleko nteti njise.
"Another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.'
20 Naumbi walambeti, Ame ndeba mutukashi lino lino neco nteshi njise.
"Another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'
21 “Lino musebenshi walabwelela ne kumwambila mwami wakendi byonse ibyo. Mwine ng'anda walakalala, lino walamwambila musebesheti, endesha, koya munshila shinene ne shing'ana sha mumushi ukuwe bakandu ne balema kayi ne bampofu wise nabo kuno.
"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 Mpwalabwela musebenshi walambeti, mwami, ndenshi kwelena nencomulang'ambili, kayi busena mobucili.
"The servant said, 'Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.'
23 Lino mwami wakendi walakumbuleti, koya munshila ne mumikondo ya muminshi ubambile bantu cangofu eti bese kwambeti ng'anda yakame isule.
"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 Ndamwambilingeti paliya nambi umo palyabo mbondalakuwa weshi alyeko malyalya akusekelela kwakame!”
For I tell you that none of those individuals who were invited will taste of my supper.'"
25 Likoto linene lya bantu lyalakonkela Yesu, lino walapindamuka ne kubambileti,
Now large crowds were going with him. He turned and said to them,
26 Muntu uliyense layandanga kuba weshikwiya wakame welela kusuna ame kupita baishi ne banyina, nambi bakashendi ne bana, banse batukashi ne batuloba, kupita buyumi bwakendi.
"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 Muntu uliyense labulunga kulikana mwine ne kuba walimbambila kupenshewa, nkela kuba shikwiya wakame.
Whoever does not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 “Nomba niyani umo pali amwe ayandanga kwibaka ng'anda itali, sena nkakute kwikala panshi nekubona na ukute mali akwana bintu bikute kuyandika kwambeti apwishe ng'anda iyo?
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 Pakwinga nalabulu kwinseco, ngacikonshyowa kubamba panshi, nekwalilwa kupwisha. Nomba bantu beshikubona ibi inga bamuseka.
Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
30 Nibakambeti, uyu muntu walatatika kwibaka ng'anda, nomba lalilwa kupwisha.”
saying, 'This man began to build, and was not able to finish.'
31 “Nomba nimwami cini, wela pakuya kulwana ne mwami umbi, nkakute kwikala panshi nekuyeya cena? Ukute kuyeya kwambeti nibashilikali byulu makumi abili bela kulwana ne mwami usa umbi, uyo lesanga bela kucikonshya ni bashilikali byulu likumi limo.
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 Neco na labono kwambeti nkela kucikonshya, ukute kutuma beshikumwimanina kwambeti be ngabasenge lumuno, mwami usa kacili kutali.
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.
33 “Weco muntu uliyense labulunga kushiya bintu byonse mbyakute, nkela kuba weshikwiya wakame.”
So therefore whoever of you who does not renounce all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.
34 “Mucele waina nomba na ulasambuluku ngamwinseconi kwambeti ube cena kayi?
Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?
35 Uliyawa incito kubulongo nambi pa bufumba bwakubika mulibala bakute kutayowa. muntu ukute matwi anyumfwe!”
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."
