Luukos 14
1 Maalin sabti ah markuu galay mid ka mid ah kuwa Farrisiinta u sarreeya gurigiisa inuu kibis cuno, waxaa dhacay inay fiirinayeen.
One (Jewish day of rest/Sabbath day), Jesus went to eat [SYN] at the house of an important Pharisee. Some [men who studied the Jewish] laws and other Pharisees who were there were watching him carefully [to see if he would do something for which they could accuse him].
2 Oo bal eeg, waxaa hortiisa joogay nin uurweynaad qaba.
Unexpectedly, there was a man in front of Jesus whose arms and legs were swollen.
3 Markaasaa Ciise u jawaabay oo kuwii sharciga yiqiin iyo Farrisiintii ku yidhi, isagoo leh, Ma xalaal baa in sabtida wax la bogsiiyo, mise maya?
Jesus said to them, “Is it permitted in [our(inc)] Jewish laws to heal [someone] (on our Jewish rest day/on the Sabbath), or not?”
4 Laakiin way aamuseen. Isaguse, intuu ninkii qabtay, ayuu bogsiiyey, markaasuu sii daayay.
[They knew that their laws permitted it, but they thought that healing was work, which they thought was wrong to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) (OR, [they knew that their laws permitted it, but they did not want to admit it]). So they did not reply. Then Jesus put his hands on the man and healed him. Then he told him to go [home].
5 Wuxuu iyaga ku yidhi, Kiinnee baa leh dameer ama dibi ceel ku dhacay oo aan maalin sabti ah dhaqso uga soo bixinaynin?
Then he said to the rest of them, “If you had a son or an ox that fell into a well on a (Sabbath/our day of rest), would you immediately [work to] pull him out, [or would you(sg) let him stay there until the next day]?”
6 Wayna uga jawaabi kari waayeen waxyaalahaas.
[They knew that they would immediately work to pull him out, even on their day of rest, so they could not justly say that Jesus did wrong by healing the man on that day. So] they said nothing in reply to Jesus.
7 Goortuu arkay kuwii loo yeedhay siday kursiyada hore u doorteen, ayuu masaal kula hadlay oo ku yidhi,
Jesus noticed that those people who had been {whom [the Pharisee] had} invited [to the meal] chose [to sit in] the places where important [people usually sit]. Then he gave [this advice] to them:
8 Markii nin kuugu yeedho aroos, kursiga hore ha fadhiisan, waaba intaasoo isagu nin kaa murwad weyn ugu yeedho,
“When one of you [(sg)] is invited by someone {someone invites one of you [(sg)]} to a wedding feast, do not sit in a place where important people sit. Perhaps the man [giving the feast] has invited a man more important than you [(sg)].
9 oo kii isaga iyo adiga idiin yeedhay uu yimaado oo kugu yidhaahdo, Kan meel sii, oo markaasaad bilaabaysaa inaad meesha dambe ceeb ku fadhiisato.
[When that man comes], the man who invited both of you will come to you [(sg)] and say to you, ‘Let this man take your seat!’ Then you [(sg)] will have to take the most undesirable seat, and you will be ashamed.
10 Laakiin goortii laguu yeedho, tag oo meesha u hoosaysa fadhiiso, si kii kuu yeedhay kolkuu yimaado uu kuugu yidhaahdo, Saaxiibow, sare u soco. Markaasaad ammaan ku lahaan doontaa kuwa cuntada kula fadhiya oo dhan hortooda.
Instead, when you are invited {[someone] invites one of you} [to a feast], go and sit in the most undesirable seat. Then when the man who invited everyone comes, he will say to you [(sg)], ‘Friend, sit in a better seat!’ Then all the people who are eating with you [(sg)] will see that he is honoring you.
11 Waayo, mid kasta oo isa sarraysiiya waa la hoosaysiin doonaa; oo kii is-hoosaysiiyana waa la sarraysiin doonaa.
Also, [remember this]: [God] will humble those who exalt themselves. And [he] will exalt those who humble themselves.”
12 Wuxuuna ku yidhi kii u yeedhay, Goortaad qado ama casho samayso, ha u yeedhin saaxiibbadaada ama walaalahaa ama xigaalkaa ama derisyadaada hodanka ah, waaba intaasoo iyaguna ay markooda kuu yeedhaan, oo ay abaalgud kugu noqotaa.
[Jesus] also said to [the Pharisee] who had invited him to the meal, “When you [(sg)] invite people to a midday or evening meal, do not invite your friends or your family or your other relatives or your rich neighbors. They can later invite you [(sg) for a meal]. In that way they will repay you.
13 Laakiin goortaad diyaafad samayso waxaad u yeedhaa masaakiinta iyo kuwa laxaadka la' iyo curyaannada iyo indhoolayaasha,
Instead, when you [(sg)] give a feast, invite poor [people], crippled [people], lame [people], or blind [people].
14 oo aad barakaysnaan doontaa, waayo, iyagu maleh waxa ay kuugu abaalgudaan, laakiin waxaa laguu abaalgudi doonaa wakhtiga sarakicidda kuwa xaqa ah.
They will be unable to repay you. [But God will bless you! He] will repay you [at the time] when [he causes] righteous people to become alive again.”
15 Kuwa cuntada ula fadhiyey midkood, goortuu waxaas maqlay, wuxuu isaga ku yidhi, Waxaa barakaysan kan kibis ku cuni doona boqortooyada Ilaah.
One of those who were eating with Jesus heard him say that. He said to Jesus, “God [has truly] blessed [us Jews] who will eat [with the Messiah] when he starts to rule!”
16 Wuxuuse ku yidhi, Nin baa casho weyn sameeyey, oo dad badan u yeedhay,
But [to show that many Jews whom God had invited would not accept God’s invitation] [MET], Jesus replied to him, “One time a man [decided] to prepare a large feast. He invited many people to come.
17 oo saacaddii cashada ayuu addoonkiisii u diray inuu kuwii loo yeedhay ku yidhaahdo, Kaalaya, waayo, haatan wax waluba waa diyaar.
When it was the day for the feast, he sent his servant to tell those who had been {whom he had} invited, ‘Come [now] because everything is ready!’
18 Markaasay kulligood waxay bilaabeen inay fikir keliya ku marmarsiiyoodaan. Kii u horreeyey ayaa ku yidhi, Beer baan iibsaday, oo waa inaan tago oo aan soo arko. Waxaan kaa baryayaa inaad iga raalli ahaato.
But [when the servant did that], all of the people [whom he had invited] began to say why they did not want to come. The first [man the servant went to] said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
19 Mid kale ayaa yidhi, Waxaan iibsaday shan qindi oo dibi ah, oo waan tegayaa inaan imtixaamo. Waxaan kaa baryayaa inaad iga raalli ahaato.
Another person said, ‘I have just bought five pair of oxen, and I must go to examine them. Please [ask your master to] forgive me for not coming!’
20 Mid kale ayaa yidhi, Naag baan guursaday, sidaa darteed ma iman karo.
Another person said, ‘I have just been married. So I cannot come.’
21 Markaasaa addoonkii yimid, oo waxaas ayuu sayidkiisii u sheegay. Kolkaasaa sayidkii gurigu cadhooday, oo wuxuu addoonkiisii ku yidhi, Dhaqso jidadka iyo surimmada magaalada u bax oo soo kaxee masaakiinta iyo kuwa laxaadka la' iyo indhoolayaasha iyo curyaannada.
So the servant returned to his master and reported what [everyone had said]. The owner of the house was angry [when he heard the reasons they gave for not] coming. He said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and alleys of the city [and find] poor and crippled and blind and lame [people, and bring] them here into [my house]!’
22 Kolkaasaa addoonkii ku yidhi, Sayidow, waxaad amartay waa la yeelay, oo weli meel baa bannaan.
[After the servant went and did that], he [came back and] said, ‘Sir, I have done what you [(sg)] told me to do, but there is still room [for more people].’
23 Markaasaa sayidkii wuxuu addoonkii ku yidhi, Jidadka iyo wadiiqooyinka oodaha u bax, oo dadka ku qasab inay soo galaan, si uu gurigaygu u buuxsamo.
[So] his master said to him, ‘Then go [outside the city]. Search for people along the highways. Search also along the narrow roads with hedges beside them [where homeless people may be staying]. Strongly urge the people in those places to come to [my house]. I want it to be full of [people]!’”
24 Waayo, waxaan idinku leeyahay, Nimankaas loo yeedhay midkoodna cashadayda dhadhamin maayo.
[Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] this: Very few of you [Jewish] people will enjoy my feast, even though [I] invited you [first to eat it with me when I become king].”
25 Waxaa isaga la socday dad badan. Markaasuu u jeestay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Large groups of people were traveling with [Jesus]. He turned and said to them,
26 Haddii qof ii yimaado oo aanu nicin aabbihiis iyo hooyadiis iyo afadiisa iyo carruurtiisa iyo walaalihiis, xataa naftiisana xer iima ahaan karo.
“If anyone comes to me who loves his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters [more than] [HYP] [he loves me], he cannot be my disciple. He must even love me more than he loves his own life!
27 Ku alla kii aan iskutallaabtiisa soo qaadan oo aan iga daba iman, xer iima ahaan karo.
[People who are ready to execute a prisoner make] him carry his cross [MET] [to the place where others will nail him] on it. Only those who are willing [to allow others to hurt them and disgrace them] like that because of being my disciples, and who are willing to obey what I teach, can be my disciples.
28 Waayo, midkiinnee doonaya inuu noobiyad dhiso oo aan kolkii hore fadhiisan inuu xisaabo intay ku kacayso, inuu ogaado inuu haysto wax uu ku dhammeeyo iyo in kale?
[I will illustrate] [MET]. If one of you desired to build a (tower/big house), (you would surely first sit down and determine how much it would cost!/would you not first sit down and determine how much it would cost?) [RHQ] Then you would determine whether you had enough money to complete it.
29 Waaba intaasoo markuu aasaaska dhigo oo uu dhammayn kari waayo, kuwa eegaya oo dhammu ay bilaabaan inay ku qoslaan,
[If you did not do that], if you laid the foundation and were not able to finish [the rest of the tower], everyone who saw it would make fun of you.
30 iyagoo leh, Ninkanu wuxuu bilaabay inuu wax dhiso, waana dhammayn kari waayay.
They would say, ‘This man started to build [a tower], but he was not able to finish it!’
31 Ama boqorkee u tegaya inuu boqor kale dagaal u baxo, isagoo aan kolkii hore fadhiisan oo tashan inuu toban kun kala hor tegi karo kan labaatan kun ula imanaya?
Or, if a king decided to [send his army to] war against another king, (he would surely first sit down [with those who] advised [him]./would he not first sit down [with those who] advised [him]?) [RHQ] They would determine whether [his army], which had only 10,000 soldiers, could defeat the [other army], which had 20,000 soldiers, and was about to attack his [army].
32 Ama haddii kale intuu kan kale weli fog yahay, ayuu ergo soo diraa oo uu weyddiistaa wax lagu heshiiyo.
If he [decided] that his army could not [defeat that army], he would send messengers to [the other king] while the other army was still far away. He would tell the messengers to say to that king, ‘What things must I do to have peace with your country?’
33 Sidaa darteed midkiin walba oo aan ka tegin wuxuu leeyahay oo dhan, xer iima ahaan karo.
So, similarly, if any one of you does not first decide that you [(sg)] are [willing to] give up all that you have, you cannot be my disciple.”
34 Haddaba cusbadu waa wanaagsan tahay, laakiin haddii cusbadu dhadhan beesho, maxaa lagu cusbaynayaa?
[Jesus also said, “You are like] [MET] salt, which is useful [to put on food]. But (salt certainly cannot be made {[you] certainly cannot make salt} to taste salty again if it stops tasting salty!/can salt be made {can [you] make salt} to taste salty again if it quits tasting salty?) [RHQ]
35 Uma ay wanaagsana dhulka ama meeshii digada, waase la tuuraa. Kan dhego wax lagu maqlo lahu, ha maqlo.
[If salt does not taste salty any more], it is not good for the soil or even for the manure heap. [People] throw it away. [The same thing will happen to you if you become useless to God]. If you want to understand what I just said [IDM], you must consider [carefully] what you have heard!”
