Luke 14 (GYZ) · Opened

1Gas shukti ga̱ Ma̱n Yehuda, yek Yesu te ka̱ lubii ga̱ bali ga̱ ma̱n Paresi gon ta̱s nguk wul yek mbala̱n wutit gwel ta̱s yen ilgwe ta pa̱li wu.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Yek ma̱lgon ka̱wu na̱ ang na̱ asa̱n gwasi mas kiɗi ka, ta̱ li tet mal Yesu.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Yek Yesu ngem ma̱n yisti mba̱t ga̱ Musa suk ma̱n Paresi ɗe, <<Mba̱t ga̱na̱n ba̱li ɗe ta̱ ndok mbala̱n gas shukti a?>>So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Yek ba̱sa̱ wule ilgon so. Yek Yesu ta̱n ma̱n cwoɓi yek ta̱ ndokti yek ta̱ wulti ɗe, <<Zigaa ilgon gwa.>>But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Yek Yesu ngem mbala̱mi ɗe, <<Kume yen sogo tla gwaka̱n nda ka̱ shu gas shukti go, ka yilla̱t ka ba̱le-ba̱le so ɗe gas shukti a?>>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?”

6Yek ba̱sa̱ mbi ilga̱ dla̱mi so.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Na̱k Yesu yen ma̱jon ka̱ mbala̱n jwe sa̱ mbesi ta̱s nguk wul wu na̱ma botlti hwa lu da̱nti ga̱ kiɗi mbala̱n wu, yek ta̱ cinga̱lisi ga̱ɓa gon ɗe,When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8<<Kume ma̱lgon mbek ka̱lu motgaa hapti wu, ba̱k lak da̱n ka̱lu da̱nti ga̱ kiɗi mbala̱n so, gon asa̱ mbe ma̱lgwe nal man ki wu.“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.

9Ma̱lgwe mbekii mas jwaka̱n wu tul wugo, ta wule, <Tlinya ka ta̱k ba̱l lu,> nsha a ciki na̱k ɗe ka pal ka̱lu da̱nti gwe ba̱ nal na̱k gon wu sowu.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.

10Ama kume sa̱ mbek ka̱lu motgaa wugo aka̱ ngo lu da̱nti ga̱ ma̱jwe ba̱sa̱ ni ten bi ilgon sowu. Kume ma̱lgwe mbek wu tul wugo ta̱ wulki ɗe, <Yela̱n gini, li te ta̱k da̱n a nde.> A laki, a ma̱jwe ni ka̱li wu yen nalti gwa.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.

11Mas ma̱lgwe nalli gaa gwas go mbala̱n a palla̱t ɗe ilgon so, ama ma̱lgwe palli gaa gwas ɗe ilgon sogo, mbala̱n a nalla̱ti.>>For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Yek Yesu wul ma̱lgwe mbet ka̱lu motgaami wu ɗe, <<Kume ka̱ ɓa mbe mbala̱n ta̱s nguk wul a lubii ɗakka sogo ka̱lu motgaa hwol tuk wu, ba̱k mbe yela̱n jwa suk yilkeni jwa suk ma̱jwa suk yela̱n da̱nti jwa ma̱n wul ang so, na̱k ɗe gas gon wo sa mbek ka̱lu motgaa gwasa̱n pak asa̱ pa̱lik ilgwe ka̱ pa̱lisi wu.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.

13Ama kume ka̱ ɓa mbe ma̱jon ka̱lu motgaa hwol tuki go, aka̱ mbe ma̱jwe ba̱ ilgon nisi ɗa sowu suk ma̱jwe man la̱t na̱ asa̱n sowu, suk ma̱jwe tli gwasa̱n tla ka̱wu suk dwa.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Na̱ nu ka̱n ka mbi hwa wul ga̱ Nya, na̱k ɗe si wo sa man ɓatlti gwa sowu. Nya ka ɓatlki gas gwe ma̱n pa̱lti zok wul a tlinya tot ka̱ gaa zukɗi gwasa̱n kaami wu.>>and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Yek ma̱lgon ɗe ta̱ ni suksi wu kumi nu wugo yek ta̱ wule, <<Ma̱n mbit hwa wul ga̱ Nya ka̱ɗe ma̱lgwe a nguk wul ka̱ motgaa hwol tuki suk ma̱jwe kan Almasihu ɗe guu ka̱ mbadl gwasa̱n wu.>>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.”

16Yek Yesu wulti ɗe, <<Ma̱lgon ni ɗa, ta̱ mbe mbala̱n wonti ka̱lu bal motgaa ngukti wul gwe ta pa̱li wu.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Yek motgaami ɓalɗa̱ go yek ta̱ shin zhel gwasi ta̱s hwi ma̱jwe ta̱ mbesi ka̱lu motgaami wu ta̱s li te.When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Yek mas jwasa̱n sa̱ ngusi dla̱mti iljwe a laki a ba̱sa mbi la̱t ka̱lu motgaami sowu. Yek gwe nda ga̱ɓa wu wule, <Aya wul lu zhin, a lam la̱t yenti.> Yek ta̱ wule ta̱ ma̱li tlo mbadli.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.’

19Yek gon po wule, <Aya wul tla gut zhin ɗe kutl, ba ta̱lasi ta̱s nda gut zhin, lak wul ma̱li ɗe ta̱s tlo mbadli.>Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Yek gon po wule, <Ka̱ multi jee ka̱n aya pa̱l pyal kili. Ba mbi la̱t so.>Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21Yek zheli lak hwi baboomi mas ilgwe sa̱ hwit wu. Yek mbadl ga̱ baboomi lil i'e yek ta̱ wul zheli ɗe, <Li ka̱ ba̱mi aka̱ ma̱tl ɗa̱nka aka̱ mbe ma̱jwe ba̱ ilgon nisi ɗa̱ sowu suk ma̱jwe man la̱t na̱ asa̱n sowu suk ma̱jwe tli gwasa̱n tla ka̱wu suk dwa.>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.’

22Yek ta̱ pal wugo, yek ta̱ wul baboomi ɗe, <Baboo, a pa̱l ilgwe ka̱ dla̱m wu yi, ama hal ninge naa lu yi.>‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Yek baboomi wulti ɗe, <Kop tantu ta̱k li ka̱ nak mil ba̱n ta̱k mbe mbala̱n teɗi ta̱ lwisi njika̱n.>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.

24A ni kii ma hwiti ɗe ma̱jwe sa̱ mbesi cina ka̱lu motgaami jo, gon a tul ɗe ta̱s la̱m ilga̱ nguki ga̱ motgaa hwol tuk gwe a pa̱li wu so.>>For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Mbala̱n wonti na̱ma kopti ga̱ Yesu yek ta̱ balla̱t malsi yek ta̱ wulsi ɗe,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26<<Mas ma̱lgwe lam kopti gini a ba̱ta̱ nge aba gwasi suk ana gwasi suk kili gwasi suk mil jwasi suk yilkeni modli suk maani, yek ta̱ nge gaa gwas pak sogo, ta man da̱nti ɗe ma̱n kopti gi so.“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.

27Mas ma̱lgwe kan bomti gwe ni ka̱ kopti gi sogo, ta̱ ɓo mbuk da̱nti ɗe ma̱n kopti gi so.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28<<Kume ka̱ lam kinti lubii ma̱n wulpi go, se ka̱ da̱mi yek ka̱ yen kangwe ka pa̱li wu suk wulpi gwe a kinik lubiimi wu, ko ilgwe nik ɗa̱ wu a kumik kinti lubiimi.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?

29Kume ka̱ lak zhila biimi yek ba̱ka̱ man pakti kinti sogo, mbala̱n a gitliki.Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30Sa wule, <Ma̱lga̱n go ka̱dla̱n ka̱n, ta̱ nda kinti bii yek ba̱ta̱ man pakti so.>saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31<<Sogo kume guu ga̱ ba̱n gon gwe ma̱n hapti dlo jwas wo zangu ɗe kutl wu a la dlanti suk guu ga̱ ba̱mi gon gwe ma̱n hapti dlo jwas wo zangu ɗe kutl ɗe lop wu. A ba̱ta da̱n ɗe ta̱s yeni ko ta mana̱n dlanti suk guu gwisi so so?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?

32Kume ta mani sogo, ata̱ shin mil shinti mal guumi, ata̱ yi dlenti, ta̱s ngo ta̱mti da̱nti ka̱ dlo gwas sukti.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Nu ka̱n kume ka̱ zak mas wul jwaka̱n sogo, ka man da̱nti ɗe ma̱n kopti gi so.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34<<Kwi wo hwa wul ka̱n, ama lilka̱ wugo, na̱ yek a la̱kmi ye?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Mbala̱n a po pa̱l ilgon na̱ nali so na̱k ɗe ba̱sa wuti wo ka̱ zhin sowu. Wutti ka̱n sa wut ka. Ma̱lgwe ka̱n kumti niɗɗa̱ wu, ha̱n ta̱s kumi.>>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.”
