Luke 14 (BGG) · Opened

1Luang jia Jewsih Thung pha inai shii Isu michie chie pha Pharisithek pha dumuii jia hò hà wuii dun; branthek è Isu shii bajo wie è riig ne rai.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Lai wad phieng ne rad pha bran jia Isu shii wuii thog,Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3chiih-è Isu è Pharisithek shii nane Iphey pha masdothek shii sai, “Jewish thung pha nai shii gethek Iphey shii wie nyarek mua ne ba asi arek mua ne bey?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Jishii ithek è nyie de ayao, Isu è ji pha bran jishii noh srane aishii gang phi, chiih-è aishii thoh ge.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Chiihphado è ai ithek shii yao, “Nathek de nawaithek dufuii magunde chiih-è nathek rawoi magunde Jewish Thung pha Inai shii khabiing hà chiih dun arone nathek khthiie fuang akhia phi habey?”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?”

6Jishii ithek è ji è sai pha ji shii nyie de achang muluii.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Isu è riig shii giak biwenthek ne ithua wie shii gua ne dug, ji è ai ji pha najang è nathek zab shii yao:When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8khuchung magungde ithek è nathek shii phiyiy pha michie shii ho ruii arone nathek ithua wie hà gua ne adug bi rabo. Nathek è de bajo mugak pha bran shii de ho pha de um phro,“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.

9chiih-è nathek shii ho pha bran è wuii srane yao ruii, hì pha ithua hì ne aishii dug yi bo! Chiihphado ji è yao shii nathek ne bajo wo srane zab è ìu pha ithua shii dug chid pha rey ruii phro.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.

10Ji-è khuchung magunde nathek shii ho ruii arone, wuii srane zab è idoh pha ithua shii dug bi bo, ji arone nathek shii ho pha muspho è nathek shii yao ruii, “Gu ijakthek isa lakhung pha ithua wie hà wuii ne dug bo. Chiihphado nathek shii zab pha biwen moe shii ilab rey ruii phro.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.

11Hanyie magunde awai shii boh rab arone, jishii ne ìu rab ruii phro, chiih-è hanyie magunde ìu rab ne rai arone, jishii ne boh rab phi phro.”For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Chiihphado è Isu è aishii ho pha ji shii yao, “khuchung magunde na è luthua nane michie phi shii, nawaithek ro khuiinothek ijak, siang, hadung-haluii pha bukhothek shii aho rabo ithek de na shii idoh ho dinne phi ruii phro.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.

13Khuchung magungde michie phi arone, dusho, khu-òg, laikhi-èg nane miegthi thek shii phi bo,But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14chiih-è ithek shii khirzey mua ruii phro, nyieliieshii ithek ne na shii idoh aphi mua din phro. Bran Wie è iy ne hòi pha naishii Hamangkhung-aphuii è idoh phi ruii phro.”and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Bran jia yi thiibliie shii dug srane ji pha miyao ji nuii ramuii shii, ai è Isu shii yao, “Hamangkhung-aphuii pha Sajathua pha michie shii dug pho ne khama sang phro!”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.”

16Isu è ji pha bran jishii yao, “Bran jia è michie bajo boh phi ramuii shii ai è bran bajothek shii ho.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Michie chie pha ishak rey mage shii, zab khriig rey sha rone biwenthek shii, ‘Thawuii sha bo, è ho pha awai khiaothek shii thoh ge.When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Jishii ithek zab jao ne jia pha idoh shii jia è wad khung ne yao, igobi pha ji è khiao jishii yao gu ne raig phegjong muii ro, chiih-è gu ne wuii srane raig ji riig pha um ro; chiih-è gu è khung hì nuii dang bo.’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.’

19Gai jia è de yao, gu è de rawoi idiib guii phegjong muii ro ji è gu ne ithek shii fuang gieng pha ithek shii khi-èrek ne woi pha ji yua pha um ro; gu è khung ji nuii dang phi bo.Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Gai jia è de yao, gu ne yiy iwo yie dang ba phro, chiih-è ji pha chiang è gu de awuii mua phro.Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21Khiao ji è idoh dun srane zab awai ithong shii yao. Ithong ji è bajo lijieg srane awai khiao jishii yao, ‘khthiie thawun pha lumuii nane ikhi-èg hà wuii srane dusho shii, phadung khbam shii, miegthi nane laikhi-ègthek shii ho ne noh ruii bo.’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.’

22Achia dang shii khiao ji è yao, na muyung ji duiine gu è noh thog ro, jimagunde thiisa hà ne ùgud oi sha ro.‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Ji-è dinne ithong è khiao jishii yao, ‘Hò ji ley rey yi pha soh pha zab lumuii hà wuii srane branthek shii ho mage bo.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.

24Gu nathek shii zab yao ji è rek ne ho phothek shii ne hanyie jia shii de gu michie achai yi phro!’ ”For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Luang jia shii ibrog branthek è Isu rog shii lua gieng ramuii shii, ai è idoh rei sra ne ithek shii yao,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26hanyie magunde gu shii wuii pho ne gu è de bajo awai aphuii amuii, yiy duii, khuiinothek, bumuii nane awai shii miie ne rai pho ne guro samoy arey mua phro.“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.

27Hanyie è magunde ithek è jia yi awairo bai han ne chiihphado gu shii awuii sapho shii ne guro samoy arey mua phro.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28Hanyie è magunde hò boh rung pha now arone arung ba pha ibi shii dug srane hì pha blia hì ne khama igong, chiih-è hì pha bang è siog gua asiok gua ji now phi phro.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?

29Ai khriig arek mua arone chog ched magunde hò arung mua phro; chiih-è zab nyie rey pha ji ne branthek è aishii riig srane siak phro.Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30Ithek è yao ruii phro! Hì pha bran è jao phane jao shii ajong mua ara.saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31Itham ichiig bran um pha saja rog shii itham sua bran um pha saja è mak rek pha wuii arone igobi shii wie dug srane mak rek pha khriig siog pha chua um a-um ji wie phak phi phro.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?

32Arey mua arone gai saja awuii ba pha ibi shii awai muaphothek shii thoh ge ne liijiing rek pha miyao ò rai.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Ji duiine, Isu è yao, Hanyie magunde nawaithek shii nyie um pha ji athoh sapho shii ne guro samoy arey muii phro.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34Suruii ne wie ro, jimagunde airo rem ji shand dun arone, dinne suruii rem arab mua phro.Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Hì ne nyiak shii de awie chiih-è rawo shii de awie; hì shii ne fen mua. Ji-è, nathek shii nuii pha khohthek um arone, nuii mage bo!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.”
