Luka 14
1 Nabumbi busuba bwa Sabata Yesu walakwiwa kuya kulya kung'anda ya mukulene wa Bafalisi. Popelapo Bafalisi bali kabamulangishisha.
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 Lino pantangu pakendi Yesu palikuba muntu walikuba washimba mubili.
And behold, there was a certain man before him who had the dropsy.
3 Lino Yesu walepusha Bafalisi ne beshikwiyisha Milawo eti, “Sena Milawo ikute kusuminisha kushilika muntu pa busuba bwa Sabata nambi ne?”
And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?
4 Nsombi balo balamwenowa. Lino Yesu walamanta muntu uyo, wamushilika nekumwambileti koya.
And they held their peace. And 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?”
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 Lino balalilwa kumukumbula.
And they could not answer him again to these things.
7 Yesu mpwalabona bantu balakwiwa kulya nendi balatatika kulisalila bipuna byabulemu, walabambila mukoshanisho eti,
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 “Na muntu umukuwa kubwinga, mutekalanga pacipuna ca bulemu, pakwinga uyo muntu lamukuwu inga kakute bambi bapita amwe ba bulemu.
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 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 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 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 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 Pakwinga muntu uliyense weshikulisumpula nakacepeshewe nsombi muntu weshikulicepesha nakasumpulwe.”
For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall 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.
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 Nsombi na ulabamba byakulya byakusekelela, kuwa bakandu ne balema kayi ne bampofu.
But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 Lino nukapewe colwe, pakwinga balo nkabela kucikonsha kumubweshela. Lesa nakamubweshele pabusuba ubo baswepa bakapunduka kubafu.”
And thou shalt be blessed: for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
15 Muntu umbi palyabo Yesu mbwalikulyanabo, mpwalanyumfwa makani aya, walambila Yesu eti, “Walelekwa uyo eti akalye nabo pakusekelela mu Bwami bwa Lesa.”
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 Nendi Yesu walakumbuleti, “Kwalikuba muntu umbi walabamba malyalya kwambeti basekelele, ne kukuwa bantu bangi.
Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many:
17 Cindi camalyalya mpocalashika walatuma musebenshi wakendi kuya kubakuwa nekubambileti, kamwisani bintu byonse bilabambiwa.
And sent his servant at supper-time, to say to them that were invited, Come, for all things are now ready.
18 Nsombi bonse balakwiwa balatalika kwamba bintu byalabatatisha. Mutanshi walambeti, ndaulu libala neco ndelela kuya kulibona. Bandekeleleko nteti njise.”
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 Umbi walambeti, Ndaulu ng'ombe shakwana bipani bisanu, ndenga akushelesha, mundekeleleko nteti njise.
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 Naumbi walambeti, Ame ndeba mutukashi lino lino neco nteshi njise.
And 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.
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 Mpwalabwela musebenshi walambeti, mwami, ndenshi kwelena nencomulang'ambili, kayi busena mobucili.
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 Lino mwami wakendi walakumbuleti, koya munshila ne mumikondo ya muminshi ubambile bantu cangofu eti bese kwambeti ng'anda yakame isule.
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 Ndamwambilingeti paliya nambi umo palyabo mbondalakuwa weshi alyeko malyalya akusekelela kwakame!”
For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited, shall taste my supper.
25 Likoto linene lya bantu lyalakonkela Yesu, lino walapindamuka ne kubambileti,
And there went great multitudes with him: and 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 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 Muntu uliyense labulunga kulikana mwine ne kuba walimbambila kupenshewa, nkela kuba shikwiya wakame.
And whoever doth not bear his 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 intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he hath [sufficient] to finish [it]?
29 Pakwinga nalabulu kwinseco, ngacikonshyowa kubamba panshi, nekwalilwa kupwisha. Nomba bantu beshikubona ibi inga bamuseka.
Lest perhaps after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish [it], all that behold [it] begin 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 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 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 sendeth an embassy, and desireth conditions of peace.
33 “Weco muntu uliyense labulunga kushiya bintu byonse mbyakute, nkela kuba weshikwiya wakame.”
So likewise, whoever he is of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34 “Mucele waina nomba na ulasambuluku ngamwinseconi kwambeti ube cena kayi?
Salt [is] good: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shall it be seasoned?
35 Uliyawa incito kubulongo nambi pa bufumba bwakubika mulibala bakute kutayowa. muntu ukute matwi anyumfwe!”
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.
