2. 2BKWDhiiti mot eezɛtyaa tetel sok bhwoob'ɛ, mot tak nabɛ ɛ́, nyɛ eezebeyal nyel nɛ ɛbɛ́.BSBBSB: Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

5. 5BKWNyɛ eezɛke nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Yɛ bɛ náá, ngɔt pak'en ɛ́ nɛ mɔn'ɛ, nɛghu ngɔmbɛ yɛ ges ɛ tɔ guk ɔ, nyɛ aanàkwaaleekɛ wyisal nyɛ kaab, ye nàkwyii zo di dwoo saba?»BSBBSB: 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?”
6. 6BKWBɛ nabɛ ɛ́, ààbɛ nɛ ɛkpa ɛbɔɔza nɛ nɛ kiya tak.BSBBSB: And they were unable to answer these questions.

8. 8BKW«Mot ɛ djóo wɔ e ɛbyoŋ ɛ ɛbá ɔ, sa wɔ ààsuu ɛdi kɔ mɛbhóó mɛ di pɛ sok ɛ, e kaab náá: nɛghu ye nabɛ ɛ́, bɛ eedjóo dhiiti dhil mot, dhaa wɔy ɔ.BSBBSB: “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.
9. 9BKWE kaab náá, mot djóo biyɔ bɛbá ɔ, ɛzɛkɛke nɛ nɔ náá: “Djɛa nyɛ di'ak.” Tin, sen-ɛ-sen, wɔ moo tin é sik, kɛsaa ɛkɛdisi kɔ boo ɛbhis.BSBBSB: 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.
10. 10BKWE nyɔ ɛ́ náá, wɔ ɛ́ djóoaa e ɛbyoŋ ɔ, wɔ goka ɛ́ nɛ ɛdi ɛ́, kɔ boo di pɛ bhis ɛ, etɛɛ náá, esok nakuma ɛbyoŋ aatuula ɛ, nyɛ waake nɛ nɔ náá: “Sɔam, wyɛla, dha zɛdisi kɔ boo di pɛ sok ɛ.” Deenek ɛ waabela duu e mis mɛ bot ɛ bi nɛ bɛ nɔɔ aadi kɔ mesa ɔ.BSBBSB: 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.
11. 11BKWMot ɛ di ekwyɛl ɛghɛɛ nyel nɛ ɛbet ɔɔ, nyɛ waasilaa, mot ɛ di esil nyel, nyɛ ɛ́ di ààbɛ nɛ ɛbet ɔɔ, nyɛ waabenaa.»BSBBSB: For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
12. 12BKWTin, Yezu eezɛke nɛ mot nadjóo nyɛ ɔ náá: «Wɔ ɛ́ di edjɛ bot edee é mwos, nɛghu yii bikoko ɔ, sa wɔ ààdjóo bɔɔ bɛsɔ bɔ, bɔn nyoog, bot ɛ mɛbyel mɔ, bɛkuma ɛ bot bi nɛ bɛ nɔɔ di di e di wat ɔ, e kaab náá, bɛ ɛzɛkɛdjóo wɔ dhiiti dwoo.

Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.
13. 13BKWE nyɔ ɛ́, wɔ djóo ɛbyoŋ ɔ, wɔ goka nɛ ɛdjóo ɛ́, bɛdjel ɛ bot, bɛna-etiyoŋ, eboka, nɛ bɛ na edhim.BSBBSB: But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

15. 15BKWBhis bɛ nazegwak etɛp binek djas ɛ, mot ngɔt pak bot ɛ nadi é dɛ bɛ nɛ Yezu kɔ mesa ɔ zokake náá: «Mɛnyɔ nɛ mot aadɛ edee tɔ Ɛyoŋ ɛ Zɛɛb ɔ!»BSBBSB: 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.”
16. 16BKWYezu eezɛlɛɛ nyɛ kana yak: «Dhiiti mot naazɛdjóo ɛbyoŋ. Nyɛ eezɛdjóo bot ɛbuɛpe.BSBBSB: But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.
17. 17BKWEsok ɛwala ɛdɛ edee nadjala ɛ, nyɛ eezɛlwom mot-mɛsa mɛ, nyɛ kɛ ɛdjóo bot, mot-mɛsa eezɛke nɛ nɔɔ náá: “Dha dɛka, etɛɛ náá, edee eezebee.”BSBBSB: 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. 18BKW«Tin, é ɛwala nakoobela étɛp dek ɛ, bot ɛ nadjóoaa ɔ, moo tin, mot nɛ mot é djɛ yɛ gham ɛpeeba. Mot ɛsok eezɛke nɛ mot-mɛsa náá: “Mɛ eebɔm pyeeb na bes. E goka, mɛ tɔ́, kɛ ɛbee yɛ. Pela mɛ, mɔn nyɛɛg.”BSBBSB: 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. 19BKWNwyak mot náá: “Ye nabɛ ɛ́, mɛ eebɔm engɔmbɛ kam: Edjas e tɛn, nɛ eswooz e tɛn. Mɛ pookokɛgwyaala mɛghwyil mɔɔ. Pela mɛ, mɔn nyɛɛg.”BSBBSB: Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

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. 22BKWBhii tak, mot-mɛsa eezɛlɛɛ nɛ kukuma yɛ náá: “Ghɛŋ, sa wɔ lwom náá, mɛ sa ɛ, eezesael. Ka bela ɛ náá, e di dinaa tak tɔ ndjaa.”BSBBSB: ‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’
23. 23BKWTin, kukuma eezɛke nɛ mot-mɛsa mɛ náá: “Tɔ́a egba nɛ egba, nɛ kɔ bɔɔ mɛl pɛ ze epyeeb. Mot nɛ mot wɔ aaboma nɛ nɛ ɔ, besela nyɛ, nyɛ zyɛ.

24. 24BKWNɛ tsɛɛtsɛ mɛ lɛɛ bin ɛ náá: “Tɔ bot djas mɛ nadjóo sok ɔ, e tok nɛ mot aadɛ edee e ɛbyoŋ ɛ lam!”»BSBBSB: For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”
25. 25BKWZukamwaa nɛ mot nadi ekɛ lɔɔg wat bɛ nɛ Yezu. Yezu zokazɛliig mis. Bhii tak, nyɛ eezɛke nɛ nɔɔ náá:BSBBSB: Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

27. 27BKWMot ɛ di ààbɛp mɛlaaba mɛ, da bhii tak nyɛ ɛ́ du mɛ ɔ, yenɔk tok nɛ ghwyil ɛdi djekelam.BSBBSB: And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

29. 29BKWE kaab náá, nyɛ ɛ́ zɛkɛkan mɛsa, da nyɛ ɛ́ sik e ze. Tin, ekpaa-goŋ ɛ bee deenek ɔ, bɛ ɛzɛkɛgɔ nyɛ.BSBBSB: Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,
30. 30BKWBot neekeke náá: “Mot tak eekan ɛsum ndjaa ɛnyɔɛpe. Nyɛ ààpakakwak ɛsilal zumal.”BSBBSB: saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’
31. 31BKW«Ye ɛ́ tyee wat nɛ dhiiti mɛkoozi di kwyɛl ɛkɛ lumela dɛɛb, bɛ nɛ nwyak dhiiti mɛkoozi ɔ.
