Luke 14 (GHN) · Opened

1Ego pa maka rane Minyere tonai za lao tekuteku pa ruma tana maka tiolata tadiria na Parese i Jisu, za qari kole dogoro kopukopuni ria na tinoni aza.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Ko za korapa ketakoi pa moena i Jisu za maka tinoni za varajani na mo ko za pugepugele na nenena na limana.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Nari za nanaza laoria i Jisu ria na tinoni qari varivagigalaini na Vavanau beto ko ria na Parese, <<Ae vei, na tavamalumuna tugu pana Vavanau za na varisalana pa rane Minyere, ba dai?>> za gudi.So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Ba qarike vagala ria. Nari za aru tekua i Jisu za na limana na tinoni za mo ko za salania, beto za vamule kenia.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Beto ari za gudi vei, <<Bi vei maka gamu za bi lotu kura pa maka baongo lavata pa rane Minyere za na nana dongiki babi maka nana bulumakau, za ae muna vei za gamu? Munake boka siqarai lao bako votuni aza pa rane Minyere tugu aza?>> za gua i Jisu.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?”

6Ba qarike boka oea ria za na nanaza tana.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Ego za tori dogoro poaria tu i Jisu ria kaki tinoni qari tasoru za qari mijamijataria na nyumunyumudi poreveveidi pa totozo tekuteku, ko za parangaria,When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8<<Tonai bu tasoru lao pa maka vavolo varielava ao, za muke jujuku lao pa nyumunyumuna poreveveidi, ura keta mi kolenana mule za maka tinoni za poreveveina jolanigo ao za oqoro kamu. Ko vei mina kamu liguligu aza“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.

9za pala mina lao tamu za na tinoni kolenana vavolo, aza za sorugamu gamu kori doru, ko ari mina gunigo vei, <Qokolo, mu vakabere vani na tinoni ani za na nyumunyumuna aza,> mina gunigo. Ko tonai za pala muna kea ao beto muna gore nyumua ao za na nyumunyumuna tadiria kepore veveidi.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.

10Goto tonai bu tasoru ao za mu lao nyumu pa nyumunyumuna betobetona kepore veveina. Ko totonai mina lame za na tinoni za sorugo za pala ari mina paranga veinigo, <Qua baere, mu nyumu keza zae pa narena pani,> pala mina gunigo. Pa totozo tu aza za muna tavaporeveveina pa moedi ria doru qari tasoru ao.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.

11Ura na tinoni za vavalavata muleni makana za pala mina vakeai tugu na Tamaza, goto aza za vapeki muleni makana za pala mina valavatia tugu na Tamaza,>> za gua i Jisu.For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Beto za parangia i Jisu za na tinoni za sorua aza, <<Totonai muna vatanani ao za maka tekutekuna babi na vavolo za muke soruria gu ria na mua baere, na taimu marene, na tavitimu babi ria na tinoni izizongo qari suvere tatago. Ura ria za pala mari boka soru sogago mutugu maka totozo ao, ko tonai mari vei ria nari za mina tasoga gu za na roiti leanana qu roiti laoni ao tadiria.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.

13Goto tonai muna roitini maka vavolo ao za mu soruria ria tu na varivasevidi, na qao, ria qari gavere, beto ria nake batabatadi tu.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Mina vei tu aza za muna tamana ao, ura pala marike boka soga vanigo ria aza. Goto ao za na Tamaza tu mina soga vanigo pa rane turumule tadiria na tinoni tuvizidi,>> za gua i Jisu.and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Ego ko totonai za nongoria maka ria qari somana tekuteku pa tevolo za na paranga ari, za paranga laoia aza i Jisu, <<Mina tamana valeana za na tinoni mina somana tekuteku pa vavolo pa binangara tana Tamaza,>> za gua.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.”

16Nari za oea i Jisu aza, <<Maka totozo za roitini maka tinoni za maka vavolo lavata beto za soruria aza ria na kubo tinoni.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Totonai za kamua za na totozo vavolo za garunia za nana nabulu ko za lao pojadi ria na tinoni tasorudi, <Mae, lame koviria! Tori tana beto tu doru maka za,> za gua.When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Ba qari okoto podalai gonagona vapele ria doru. Ari za gua vei za na tinoni momoe, <Ara za maka iapeki kobu pezo za qa koni vaia gu, ko ba lao tu ovikia aza qa gua. Ko mu vamalumuziu gu ko manake lao somana,> za gua.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.’

19Beto maka goto mule ari za gua vei, <Ara za ka manogaputa bulumakau mari ragaragatia na geligelina pa qua inuma za qa koni vai tekuria gu, ko qa korapa nyorogua lao podekeria. Ko mu vamalumuziu ko manake lao somana,> za gua.Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Beto maka mule ari za gua, <Ara za qa koni varielava gu, ko pa ginuana gu aza za manake boka lao ara,> za gua.Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21Nari za mulenana gu za na nabulu ko za lao vavakato vani nana bangara za na veveidi doru paranga qari pojaria ria. Ko za tagigiri vikevikereni za na bangara za roitini na vavolo, ko ari za guni vei za nana nabulu, <Mu siqasiqarai tokatokaria na zona lavalavata na zona pekipekidi pa leo guguzu, ko mu toka lamedi ria na varivasevidi, na qao, nake batabatadi, beto ria qari gavere!> za gua.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.’

22Pa liguna za roitini aza vei za garununi nana bangara nari za mule kamu za na nabulu, ko ari za gua vei, <Bangara, qa tori toka kamudi tu ara ria qu garununiziu ao, ba za oqoro tu pugele za na ruma,> za gua za na nabulu.‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Nari ari za guni vei na bangara za na nana nabulu, <Mu votu lao mule keta pa peguruna na guguzu lavata pa zona na kota pa zouna ketakoi qari suvere na tinoni, ko mu tepa vitivitigiria ria na tinoni ko mari lame vapugelia na qua ruma.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.

24Ma pojadigamu ara: kepore maka ria qa soru momoeria za mina meai iapeki ganigani pa qua vavolo!> za gua za na tinoni aza,>> za gua i Jisu.For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Ego totonai za korapa lalaonana i Jisu za maka minete tinoni lavata za tuti laoa, nari za balinga mule aza, ko ari za gua vei,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26<<Na tinoni za lame taqu ba zake roqu loiria ria na tamana, na tinana, na maqotana, beto na tuna, ria na taina marene na luluna reko, beto ko nana toa tugu vei za zake pada ko mina sepele taqu za na tinoni vevei aza.“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.

27Na tinoni zake pogozia nana korosi makana ko zake tutiziu ara za zake pada ko mina sepele taqu aza.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28Vei maka gamu za bi nyorogua roitini maka ruma lavata, za pala mina nyumu mae aza ko mina nguti votuni mae za na vaina na ruma, ko mina gilagilai mae za bi pada tugu za nana poata na vaokotona na ruma ba dai.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?

29Ura vei minake vei zara aza, za pa liguna mina vaturua na kokovana beto minake boka vaokotia aza za na ruma, za pala mari au vavaledeni ria doru tinoni qari batia nana roiti aza.Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30Pala mari paranga ria, <Koi, na bangara ani za podalaini nana ruma, ba zake boka vaokotia!> pala marigunigo ria.saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31Ko mu nongoria mule ani ko! Na bangara za izongia ka manogaputa vuro tinoni varipera gu ba za nyorogua rajai za maka goto bangara za izongia ka rabeteputa vuro tinoni varipera, za mina nyumu mae ko mina roquroqu valeana mae tu aza. Mina roquroqu valeana ko vei mina bokanana talea aza za na bangara nari ba dai.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?

32Ko vei mina gilagilai minake boka aza za mina garunu valaoria ria kaki nana tinoni pogozo nongoro ko mari lao gozoria za na bangara neqina tonai za korapa pa zouna tu aza, ko mina tepai aza za na bule.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Ko gamu za maka moqaza podeke vei tugu. Zara za vei ko mu dogoro valeania za na pore laona na tutiqu ara beto mu tutiziu. Ura kepore maka tinoni gamu za mina boka na qua sepele vei minake boka loi betoria aza za doru nana zakazava za izongoria,>> za gua i Jisu.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34<<Na solo za na leleana, ba tonai mina maragutu na lingilingina nari za pala minake boka tavalingilingi soga mule aza.Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Na solo kepore lingilingina za zake pada mina tavaroiti pa pezo babi pa nyanyao nyabodi ko na valaona pa umuma. Goto na padana za mina tagona paleni gu. Na tinoni pore talinga nongonongorona za mi vainongoro!>> za gua i Jisu.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.”
