Luke 14
1 Lumbu kimosi ki saba, Yesu bu kakota mu dia ku nzo yi pfumuyimosi yi Bafalisi, buna bobo baba muna baba kuntala bumboti.
And it came to pass on the going of Him into a house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread and they themselves were watching Him.
2 Tala mutu wumosi wuba kimbevo kimvimbu wuba va ntualꞌandi.
And behold a man certain there was with dropsy before Him.
3 Buna Yesu wuyuvula minlongi mi Mina ayi Bafalisi ti: —Minsua midi mu belusa mutu mu lumbu ki saba e?
And answering Jesus spoke to the lawyers and to [the] Pharisees saying; (if *k) Is it lawful on the Sabbath (to heal *N+kO) (or not? *NO)
4 Baba kuawu dio sui. Buna Yesu wusimba mutu beni, wumbelusa ayi wumvutula.
But they were silent. And having taken hold [of him] He healed him and let [him] go.
5 Bosi wukamba batu baba vana: —Nani mu beno wuidi muanꞌandi voti ngombiꞌandi vayi zimbukila yidodukidi mu dibulu, wunkambu vika ku yitapula mu lumbu ki saba e?
And (answering *k) to them He said; Which of you (a son *N+KO) or an ox into a pit (will collapse, *N+kO) also surely immediately he will pull up him on day the Sabbath?
6 Basia vutula kadi diambu ko mu mambu momo.
And not they were able to reply (to him *k) to these things.
7 Muaki wukamba nongo yimosi mu diambu di bobo batumusubu kamona buevi baba sobudilanga bibuangu binzitusu; ayi wuba kamba:
He was speaking then to those invited a parable remarking how the first places they were choosing out, saying to them;
8 —Mu thangu bela kutumisa ku nyengo wu makuela buna bika kuenda vuanda va meza va buangu ki nzitusu, ayi zimbukila mutu wumosiwulutidi minsua wutumusu kuidi mutu wowo wutumisa
When you may be invited by anyone to wedding feasts, not may recline in the first place, otherwise otherwise [one] more honorable than you may have been invited by him,
9 bila buna mutu wowo wulutumisa ngeyo ayi niandi wela kuiza ayi kukamba: “vana buangu kiaku kuidi mutu wawu”. Buna wela monazitsoni kuenda vuanda ku buangu kitsuka.
and having come the [one] you and him having invited he will say to you; do give to this one [your] place. and then you will begin with shame the last place to take.
10 Vayi bu bela kutumisa yenda ayi vuanda ku buangu kitsuka mu diambu mutu wowo wulutumisini bu kela kuiza wela ku kamba: “A nkundi ama, yiza vuandi vava”. Buna wela zitisu va ntuala batu bosobela ba yaku va meza.
But when you may be invited, having gone (do recline *N+kO) in the last place, so that when may come the [one] having invited you, (he will say *N+kO) to you; Friend, do come up higher. Then will be to you glory before (all *NO) those reclining [with] you.
11 Bila woso wukukinangikanga wela kululu ayi woso wukukikululanga wela nanguku.
For everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and the [one] humbling himself will be exalted.
12 Buna wukamba mutu wowo wuntumisa: —Ngeyo tumisa batu mu dia va muini voti va masika kadi tumisa bakundi baku, bakhomba ziaku, bambuta ziaku voti bamvuama bafikimini yakutala mamvawu babika kutumisa muingi bavutudila mambu momo wuba vangila.
He was saying then also to the [one] having invited Him; When you may make a dinner or a supper, not do call the friends of you nor [call] the brothers of you nor [call] the relatives of you nor [call] neighbours rich otherwise otherwise also they themselves may invite in return you and it may become recompense to you.
13 Vayi mu thangu wumvangisa nyengo, bufueni wutumisa minsukami, babela binama, bantiudikanga, baphofo.
But when a feast you may make do call [the] poor, [the] crippled, [the] lame, [the] blind.
14 Ngeyo wela ba mu khini bila batu bobo basi ko kadi kiasa mu diambu bavutudila mambu momo wuba vangila. Buna Nzambi wela kumfuta mu lumbu kioki basonga bela fuluka.
and blessed you will be, because nothing they have to repay you; It will be recompensed for to you in the resurrection of the righteous.
15 Buna mutu wumosi mu bobo baba va meza, bu kawa mambu momowukamba Yesu ti: —Khini kuidi mutu wowo wela dia mu Kipfumu ki Nzambi!
Having heard then one of those reclining with [Him] these things he said to Him; Blessed [is he] (who *N+kO) will eat (bread *NK+o) in the kingdom of God.
16 Yesu wumvutudila: —Mutu wumosi wuvangisa nyengo wunneni, wutumisa batu bawombo.
But He said to him; A man certain (was preparing *N+kO) a supper great and invited many;
17 Thangu yi dia bu yifuana, wufidisa kisadi kiandi mu diambu kakamba batu batumusu ti “yizanu bila mamo makubinini.”
And he sent the servant of him at the hour of the supper to say to those invited; do come, for now ready [it] is (all things. *KO)
18 Vayi babo balomba nlemvo. Wutheti wunkamba: “Tsola ndisumbidi ayi mfueti kaka kuenda kuyitala, diawu ndemvukila.”
And began with one [voice] all to excuse themselves. The first said to him; A field I have bought and I have need (going out *N+kO) (and *k) to see it; I beg of you, do hold me excused.
19 Wunkaka wukamba: “Dikundi di zingombi ndisumbidi, ziawu ndieka kuenda makisa, diawu wundemvukila.”
And another said; Yoke of oxen I have bought five and I am going to prove them; I beg of you do hold me excused.
20 Wunkaka wukamba: “Bosi kuandi ndikuedidi, diawu ndilendi baka bu kuizila ko.”
And another said; A wife I have married and because of this not I am able to come.
21 Kisadi beni bu kivutuka, kiyiza kamba Pfumu andi mambu moso mama. Buna pfumu yi nzo beni wufuema ayi wukamba kisadi kiandi: “Yenda nsualu mu zinzila ayi mu bina bi zinzila zi divula ayi tuala vava: minsukami, babela binama, baphofo ayi bantiudikanga…”
And having come the servant (that *k) reported to the master of him these things. Then having become angry the master of the house said to the servant of him; do go out soon into the streets and lanes of the city, and the poor and crippled and blind and lame do bring in here.
22 Buna kisadi beni kiyiza kunkamba: “A pfumu matuminingi mavangimini vayi bibuangu bikidi.”
And said the servant; Sir, it has been done (as *N+kO) you did command, and still room there is.
23 Buna pfumu andi wumvutudila: “Yenda mu zinzila, mu yenda ziphangu kuika batu biza koti mu diambu di nzoꞌama yifuluka.
And said the master to the servant; do go out into the highways and hedges and do compel [them] to come in so that may be filled of mine the house.
24 Bila bukiedika ndikulukamba kadi mutu wumosi mu bobo batumusu kalendi dia ko.”
I say for to you that not [one] of the men of those which invited will taste my supper (many for are called few but chosen. *O)
25 Nkangu wu batu wuba wuwombo wuba kuenda nlandakananga. Buna Yesu wubaluka kuidi nkangu ayi wuba kamba:
Were going with then Him crowds great. and having turned He said to them;
26 —Enati mutu wizidi kuidi minu ayi enati kakadi lenda siandi, nguandi, nketuꞌandi, bana bandi, bakhomba bandi zi babakala ayi bakhomba bandi zi baketo, nkutu ayi luzingu luandi veka buna kkalendi banlonguki ama ko.
If anyone comes to Me and not he hates the father (of himself *NK+o) and the mother and the wife and the children and the brothers and the sisters yes (and *N+kO) even the life his own not he is able to be My disciple.
27 Woso wunkambu nata dikulusi diandi ayi wunkambu kundandakana, kalendi ba nlonguki ama ko.
(and *ko) Whoever not carries the cross (of himself *NK+o) and comes after Me, not is able to be My disciple.
28 Bila nani buna luidi bu katidi tungisa nzo yi banga wunkambu tuama vuandanga mu yindula thalu yela fua mu nzo beni mu diambu di zaba kani lenda manisa kisalu beni.
Which for of you (who *o) is desiring a tower to build not first he having sat down he counts the cost whether he has (for *N+kO) [its] completion?
29 Bila enati kakadi nunga mu manisa thungulu andi bu kamanisini tula zifundasio buna batu boso bobo bela kummona, bela kunsekinina
Thus otherwise otherwise [when] laying of it a foundation and not being able to finish all those seeing [it] may begin him to mock
30 bu bela tuba: “mutu wawu wutona tungisa nzo vayi kasia nunga ko manisa yawu”.
saying that This man began to build and not he was able to finish.
31 Voti ntinu mbi wowo tidi nuanisa ntinu wunkanka mvita wunkambu tuama vuandanga mu yindula kani mu dikumi mili di masodi buna lenda nungamu nuanisa mutu wowo wunkuiza kuidi niandi ayi makumuadi ma mili e?
Or what king proceeding with another king to engage in war not having sat down first (will take counsel *N+kO) whether able he is with ten thousand (to meet *N+kO) the [one] with twenty thousand coming against him?
32 Enati buawu ko buna bu kakidi thama buna makafidisa mvualakuidi ntinu wunkaka ayi kunyuvula mambu mafueni mu kotisa ndembama.
lest then except indeed still of him far off being an embassy having sent he asks for peace.
33 Diawu woso kuandi buna luidi wunkambu yekula bima bioso bidi yandi buna kalendi ba nlonguki ama ko.
So therefore every one of you who not does give up all his own possessions, not is able to be My disciple.
34 —Tsalu kidi kima kimboti vayi enati yizimbisidi lueki luandi bunabuevi balenda vutudila lueki beni e?
Good [is] (therefore *NO) the salt; if however (even *no) the salt shall become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?
35 Yisiedi kadi mfunu ko kani mu ntoto voti mu mbozi, yifueti kaka lozu ku nganda. Woso widi matu mawila buna bika kawa.
Neither [is it] for soil nor for manure fit is it; out they cast it. The [one] having ears to hear he should hear.
