Luuka 14

1 lulyahumile ikighono ikya Sabati. yeiluta kukaja ja jumo juno aale n'gooyo ghwa Vafalisayi kulia un'kate, vope vakale vivaanda pipi na pipi.

And it came to pass, 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 pavulongolo pa mwene pwealyale umuunhu juno alyale ni nhaamu ja kufimba.

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

3 uYesu akavaposia avaagula ndaghilo isa vayahudi na vafarisayi. “ndaani, lunono kusosia umuunhu pakighono kya Sabaati, asi vuli?”

And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?

4 neke avene vakava kimie, pe, uYesu akan'koola. akan'sosia na pikun'tavula alutaghe.

But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go.

5 ghwope akavavuula akati,” ghweveni mukipugha kiinu juno ali nu mwana nambe ing'ombe jingaghwilile muliina ku kighono kya Sabati naikujisuuvula ng'hani ng'hani?”

And he said unto them, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day?

6 aveene valyale vasila ngufu isakwamula ghano ghano vavaposisie.

And they could not answer again unto these things.

7 un'siki ghuno uYesu alyakagwile kwiti vala vano valyaghogholilue kwiti vasalwile ifitengo vwoghopua. avavula ikihwani akati, “

And he spake a parable unto those that were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief seats; saying unto them,

8 ye mughongolua nu muunhu uya vutolani, nungikalaghe mufitengo fya vavaha. ulwakuva nukagwile kuti,

When thou art bidden of any man to a marriage feast, sit not down in the chief seat; lest haply a more honorable man than thou be bidden of him,

9 pano aghongolilue umuunhu juno ghwe mwoghopua kyongo kukila uve. un'siki ghughuo umuunhu juno avaghongolile

and he that bade thee and him shall come and say to thee, Give this man place; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take the lowest place.

10 neke uve ungaghongolue, usalulaghe uvukalo vwa kuvusililo, kuvaanga neke kyande ikwiisa juno akungongolile ghwemwene atisaghe uve manyani, kila ghukale kuvulongolo. apuo ghuuva mwoghopua ku vano valipalikimo nuuve pamesa.

But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.

11 ulwakuva juno ikughinia uNguluve alyamwisia, juno ikujisia ghwe ighinisivua.

For every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

12 Yesu kange akam'bula umuunhu juno umughongolile, 'pano ghukumpela ikyakulia kya pamwisi nambe ikya pakivwilile, ulekaghe pighongola avamanyani vaako nambe avanyalukolo vaako, nambe avanyakisina vaako, nambe avabading'hani vaako avamofu neke kwiiti avene valeke pikukughongola uve uhombe.

And he said to him also that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsmen, nor rich neighbors; lest haply they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee.

13 neke lino pano ghuvomba ikikulukulu, vaghongolaghe avamofu, avalema, na vavoofu,

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

14 najuve ghufunyua, ulwakuva naviwesia kuhomba. ulwakuva ghuhombua muvusyukua vwa vanya kyang'haani.

and thou shalt be blessed; because they have not [wherewith] to recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed in the resurrection of the just.

15 un'siki huno jumonga mu vala vano vakikalile pamesa palikimo nu Yesu ati apulike aghuo, ghwope akavavula akati,” afunyilue jula juno ilia un'kate mu vutwa vwa Nguluve”.

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

16 neke uYesu akavavula akati,” umuunhu jumonga akavombile ikikulukulu ikikome, akaghongola avaanhu vinga,

But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many:

17 un'siki ghuno ikikulukulu kifikile, akansung'ile um'bombi ghwake kukuvavula vano avaghongolilue, 'mwise, ulwakuva ifinu fyoni fivikilue tayale

and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for [all] things are now ready.

18 vooni vakatengula kukunsuuma avasungukile ughwa kwanda akati 'nighulile umughunda nilonda nilute nikaghulole. sivuo usaghile,

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

19 ghwope ujunga akati, 'nighulile ing'ombe ihaano najune nilute kughela. sivuo usaghile.

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

20 na ju muunhu ujunge akati, 'nihumile pitoola un'dala pe lino naniwesia pikwisa.

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

21 um'bombi akagomoka na kukum'bula um'baha ghwake aghuo. unyanyumba jula akakalile akam'bula um'bombi ghwake,' luta ng'hani ng'hani mumpulo na mufisila fino filuta mufikaaja fya vaanhu ukavalete apa avakotofu, avalema. vano navilola na vabofu”.

And the 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 hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame.

22 um'bombi ghwake akati, ntwa aghuo ghano unilaghisie ghavombike, nambe lino ikyakulia kisighiile.

And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room.

23 untwa akam'bula um'bombi akati, luta kusila ijansevo na mufisila fino filuta mumakaaja gha vaanhu ukavapelepesie avaanhu vingile neke inyumba jango jimeme.

And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain [them] to come in, that my house may be filled.

24 ulwakuva nikuvavula, mu vala vano vaghongolilue ulwa kwanda nakwale juno ilivonja ikikulukulu kyango.

For I say unto you, that none of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper.

25 lino ulukong'ano ulukume valyale viluta naghwo. ghwope akadyetuka akavavula kuuti,

Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them,

26 ndeve umuunhu ikwisa kulyune ghwope naikunkalalila ubaba ghwa ghwake, ungiina ghwake, avaanha vaake, avanyalukolo vaake avaghosi na vadala Ena, na vu vwumi vwake kange navuwesia kuva vavulanisivua vango.

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

27 umuunhu nave naitoola ikikovekano kyake na kukwisa kunsana jango naiwesia kuva m'bulanisivua ghwango.

Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

28 ulwakuva ghwe veni mu lyumue, juno ilonda kujenga kujenga aikela kutengula kiisatala iling'hanie taasi alole indalama neke alole kukughenia aghuo.

For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have [wherewith] to complete it?

29 nave naiovomba aghuo neke kyande ijenga uvwalo angakunue pimalisia. vooni vano vilola vitengula piseka,

Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him,

30 vitisagha, umuunhu uju akatengwile kujenga, akunilue kumalikisia.

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

31 neke ghwe Ntwa muki, jno ilonda kuluta kutovana nu Ntwa ujunge mu vwiite, juno naikukala paasi taasi neke asaghe nave akwiline kutovana, palikimo na vaanhu imbilima kijigho kimo kutovana nu junge juno ikwisa kwa mwene na vaanhu imbilima fijigho fivili?

Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

32 ndeve evuo ililugu lya vange pano lijighe lilikuvutali, likunsung'a untwa kusuuma ulwiho lya lutengano.

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

33 kwekuti lino, juno nailonda kukufleka fyooni fino alinafyo. nangawesie kuva m'bulanisivua ghwango.

So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

34 umwinyo nnono, neke nave ghunangike ghuvombela kiki neke ghuve mwinyo kange?

Salt therefore is good: but if even the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

35 naghuva mwinyo ghwa kulunga nambe kuva mbolela. kange kutaghua kuvutali. umwene unya mbughulutu aghakupulika na apulikaghe”.

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