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, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him.

2 pavulongolo pa mwene pwealyale umuunhu juno alyale ni nhaamu ja kufimba.

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

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

And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?

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

And 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 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 aveene valyale vasila ngufu isakwamula ghano ghano vavaposisie.

And they could not answer him again to these things.

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

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

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

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 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 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 ulwakuva juno ikughinia uNguluve alyamwisia, juno ikujisia ghwe ighinisivua.

For whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, 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.

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

But when thou makest a feast, call 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: for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at 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 table with him heard these things, he said to 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,

Then said he to him, A certain man made a great supper, and invited many:

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

And sent his servant at supper-time, to say to them that were invited, 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 to him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go 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”.

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

And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, 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 to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel [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 to you, that none of those men who were invited, shall taste my supper.

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

And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said to 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 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 umuunhu nave naitoola ikikovekano kyake na kukwisa kunsana jango naiwesia kuva m'bulanisivua ghwango.

And whoever doth not bear his 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 intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he hath [sufficient] to finish [it]?

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

Lest perhaps after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish [it], all that behold [it] 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 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 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 embassy, and desireth conditions of peace.

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

So likewise, whoever he is of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

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

Salt [is] good: but if the salt hath lost its savor, with what shall it be seasoned?

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

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.
