Luke 14 (AQK) · Opened

1Arik ni song shi anung ama, asi Yesu na rir kop nung ku ningur ndishir awuni Farisi ti aba ti ri kiri. Andishir ba na shuru ayi ti ba to, kati nam kiyami biyi niti aba nam arik song shi ba'.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Abuma iti Yesu ndishir nung awa adzama ne ayoˈ ama yana wuu.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Mi Yesu na yik wu, asi arip abi tsar amoˈ ne andishir abi Farisi ta di, “Amoˈ na tayima aba nam ndishir ni ro arik ni song shi, koba dung ni?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Nema ba bana di kinung baˈ. Yesu na tuu ndishir ni roma taya nam wu, ta diwu aba koma kop kima.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Ayang nga Yesu na rip andishir tadi, “Tasi nung ming min zu ma nebi randong ama na roku mbwi arik ni song shi, ba gina tunu abubuma sang yi?”And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”

6Asi ba wop ki nam araˈ akana rip ma.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Mi Yesu na yik anung ming andishir abami na gyo ba ri kiri ma, bana sar ron yi wyer, asi Yesu aban ba ankpyeng awama.When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“Nung ta gyo wa gang yi rop nga, kɨr koma kuti jisong iba ku song andishir ankpingkpyaˈ sang. Tasi mi na gyo nung awami asi kpyaˈ anang wa.“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.

9Nta sema ndishir ni gang nga awami na gyo gina gbaˈ waa min ati nyi ta diwa, ‘Nik, ndishir awama ron mi.’ Wa yik, ati nik wa shisha, wati kam koma iba ku song mi ba si ku ankpingkpyaˈ baˈ.Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.

10Nema ata gyo wa gang, wabi ti tun iba ku jisong kami ba kasi ku ankpingkpyaˈ baˈ. Ti dung awami na gyo wa ta nyi, se aba diwa, ‘Dzen amung nyi ti jisong ayang, iba ku jisong andishir ankpingkpyaˈ.’ Yi yama ti dung mbir andishir abami na gyo ba, aba gbar wa.But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.

11Tasi ndishir awami ta tsoˈ tuma awa si kinung, ba bati to wu ashu koˈ baˈ, awami ta jitu ma agyoˈ, ati towu ashu ayi.”For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Asi Yesu kam ato awami na gyo ba gang yi ri kiri, “Tasi mi wa ti gyo andishir bati ri kiri, wabi gyo adzidzen ami ankyaˈ ne amun zumin amba ne anirum, ne anting amin, ne abi bing song abi kikoˈ. Nwati nam ama, arika nung bati ka gyo wa man si. Nema bati wang wa kiyami wani nam ba.Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.

13Tasi mi wati gyo andishir gang, wabi gyo abi sang nga ki, nebi gbur mimi nebi ni gyoˈ dza, ne abi anfɨk.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Nwa ti nam ama, Arik ati nik wa anu didik. Arik ati wang wa, arika awami ati gi abi nam zup didik ri nebi kpyi.”and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Mi ndishir nung ming ku abi rɨ kiri na wo ama, asiwa adi Yesu, anu didik kasi ni awami ati rɨ kiri yi gang yama song Arik.When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”

16Yesu na adi wu, “Na ti ndishir nung mi na nam gang nkpyaˈ, na gyo andishir nidum.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Mi nkpang ku gang ni ti, asi awa tum gan ama aba koma ti ban abami na gyo bama, ‘Gina bi nyi naka nam koneni si ananan adzaˈa.’When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18“Asi boboˈ man avung ban basi ni kiki yi nam. Ni gin na di, ‘Ngga ni sin ta rep ankwang, dung ngga yer bi to mi asima, ngga ben wa, wabi vung susun.’But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’

19“Nung awa adi, ‘Ngga sin ta rep randong yi wum mi wur. Ngga si tsir ku koma nam ndum ma neya to. Ngga ben wa bi vung susun.’Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20“Nung awa adi, nvi yama ‘Ngga sinta ta uwa, atu yiya ma ba ngga ti yik nkpang ku yerra baˈ.’Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21“Gan na na kama nga ati ban atikop ma boboˈ kikiyami na ban wu. Nfu ni niti atikop pa, asi awa adi gan na, ‘Koma andanda, ti dzip tsitsir ne afofor ayi tsip, wabi ban abi sang nga ki, ne abi gbur mmimi, ne abi anfik, ne abi gyoˈ dza wabi gir ba nga ayang.’The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’

22“Mi gan na na kama nga, tadi, ‘Atikop ma, ngga ni nam kiyami wani ban, nema mbira abum ka sima mi adzaˈa.’‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23“Atikop pa nadi gan na, ‘Wabi koma anetsir ankpingkyaˈ ne atsitsap, wabi tur andishir ba nyi, ti kop mung kabi shuma.So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.

24Ngga ban gina, ba gin ming andishir abami na agyo ba, awami ati re kiri mung ato.’ ”For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Arika anung nga ama andishir nidum bana dzip Yesu, asi awa kam ato ba tadi,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26“Awami ati dzip ngga, ta nak ata ngga yimma anang ada ma ne iya ma, ne uwa ma, ne amumuna ma, ne amun zu man ne mun iva man, ti vung vɨr ma baˈ, bati gi si vin kop mung baˈ.“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.

27Awami bata nag atsoˈ angau ama ta dzip ngga baˈ, ba ti gi si vin kop mung baˈ.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28“Nung ming min ta ti mme tar ku shu, ati jisong aring, ta aba tse kiyami mme ma ti ri, tiba to awa asi ni ankor ayami ti maru mme ter.Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?

29Ta naˈ agi nam ama baˈ, ta saˈ nkpangting nga, ti bana mme ter baˈ, boboˈ andishir abami na yik mme ma ba ti gyap wu,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30bati di, ‘Ndishira awama na vung mme, nema bana gi nam ka ter baˈ.’”saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31“Ti aba di etum nung, na gur ti aba ti kum ne etum nung. Ati jisong ta reng ta shum atuma aring sang yi? Ti awa asi ni abi rop akpa agbugba awur, ati gi ti kum ni etum awami, asi ni abi rop kpa agbugba soˈ waa yi?Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

32Nta si mi bati gima baˈ, tsoˈ ri mi basi gbangbang aba min na tum anung aba ti yik ku, ti aba ben tsir ku song keke.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Yasima koni nga ta nag adung kiyami asima ne ya baˈ, bati gi si vin kop mung baˈ.”In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34“Mang ya wyer, nema yati dung rema, ati nam are ti rema bi kam nga?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Ba ya sine ndum nung mmimi nebi atsu baˈ, se aba ta asher ankyaˈ. “Awami asi ne atong ayi wo, aba wo.”It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
