Luke 14 (HRU) · Opened

1Sünda í ĝyogow ñeto sehu djudamje Farisi nágo nugo a i ñe ge odje tsaw ji: sünda ná í usu yo hopasa.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Süge í veduw muhu a du, dju usso dalfuñe nada.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Jisu í Farisi seyo shotuko-kunu damivro ná che, “ĝyogow ñeto ge dagyomeje ujo ma mow ma?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Sé na madañda ĝyo. Sündawñe Jisu i í ügzü kiñe dagyo, sünda kadügye. Sünda i í ügzü kidüñe dagyo, sünda kadügye.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Sünda i ná che, “Djongko ye dju duwa, djusa seyo fulhu ye kalü ulung ge gamyoa sünda ĝyogow ñeto ye kutcho malahuajo.”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?”

6Sé ná he ñu ge haje machefibi.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7I hobanda, tumona baladaw na uw uw buĝo tsatchüñe lai sünda í se ná hoñe zeĝaw ze,When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“Djuma djo ĝü ge balai ye, buĝo dyew tsatchüñe djuĝyojodawe, asha baje dyewfo tumona baw je dufijome.“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.

9Sünda dju ije seyo baje badama, bá jikuñe ana chemeje, ‘Í buĝo djüjo dawe,’ sündawñe ba ñimtchüñ lyañe ülafo buĝo ge ĝyow dujobamme.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.

10Sé bá bawñe, ülafo buĝo ge jiñe ĝyojo dawe, bá badaw nüna ye jikuwñe, bá ana che ‘Drawa, uvro ge kalyiñe ĝyoa,’ sündawñe badra a ĝyosadaw navro ge udru kalyijome.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.

11Hado chemeje dju nudzo yo dyew dalaima, se ye imisa lyajome; seyo dju nudzó í imisa dalaima, se ye dyew lyajome.”For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Sündawñe Jisu i í baladaw naje che, “Djo ñeto ge damje ñegi ge damje ava tsaw ge, nudzo draw, ayo-ñuw, ñeŝü seyo nugo na djubajodawe, ana dañeme, naje djo balañe daĝuñeme.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.

13Sé ba ava tsakelai ge sapse, hamalyiw, üshilyew seyo iñiĝew ná bajo dawe.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Sündawñe ba gaĝüzebamme, hado chemeje nachi ge djó djüjo haje ñiwme, séŝo djó ná güdraw yo üshükülyejo go küĝüijome.”and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Üdra ava tsasangkoi go nüna a ye he ñu ná dzühulyeñe che, “Gaĝüze nadra dujome, dju Tawgyew í ĝadzü ge odje tsaima.”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.”

16Ná i che, “Djudamje nüna a ye ava dyew tsakeñe seyo sünda ŝüpo ná ba.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Tsaw-tuw dafihuñe, i í kulo ná tumona baladaw ná cheñe ki, ‘Age djebe; tsaw-tuw dafiadamme.’When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Sé vyow na chetsü, ‘uvro go ye í che, no vi a prülawme, sünda no se í hojo dume; no ba chengkoime, no maf daijo dawe.’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.’

19Utro a ye che, ‘No fulhu fulshi pom lawme, sünda no he na dañe how jingkoime; no ba chengkoime, no maf daijo dawe.’Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Sünda a ye che, ‘No gzü dawme, sündada no majikufijome.’Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21Se kulo ye jekuñe i ñe übraw í he ñu ná trutsü. Sündawñe se ñe ubraw ye lusuvyulalye í kulo í che, ‘ñetrü go bozaĝ seyo ĝabo ge kutcho jeñe sapse, kiĝi, üshilyew seyo iñiĝew ná age lañe kakuwe.’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.’

22Kulo ye che, ‘O übrawa, ba küna chedama, süna damme; sé yaje buĝo ufo dulumme.’‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Übraw ye kulo í che, ‘Ĝabo ge seyo füta duw ge djeñe nüna ná künadamje lañe kakujodawe sündameje noñe gujome.’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.

24Hado chemeje no djó trungkoime, se tumona badaw ná no tsaw-tuw í tsapüñeje matsapüñejome.”For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Sünda upu na ufum kasawñe, sünda Jisu i fum ge tchoñe ná che.Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26“Djudamje nochi ge jikuñe, seyo nudzo awu, añ, ufum, agü, ñu seyo ñum seyo nudzo shüw-duw naje mahosübammeje, í no shürhaw mowme;“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.

27Seyo dju nudzo shokru íje magilama; sünda nofum makameje; se je no shürhaw madafijome.”And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28“Djomko ye dju post dzuĝoñdama, seyo uvromsahü bo küña kajoma, damdzojo kuw nochi ge duŝoma ñima mahow?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?

29Ana dawñe, i shobo dzugoñe ñekru makrufiwñe, sündawñe hovow nüna na vyow í tchüĝojoŝo,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30‘He nüna ye damyowbo damyodaŝowa, sé madamdzofiwa?’saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31Mo dju ñubyu duwa, utro ñubyu nadra tumo daw jiw, sünda uvromashü ĝyoñe mavemchevzüme, se hadza büsha kulo lañe nodrü ge tujovodawye no hadza ĝü lañe üdra daĝufijoŝoma mo mowma?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?

32Mowmeje üĝa ĝyodamje, mukow kiñe ñu ĝüdzüagyefijo.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Ana veduw djo nudzo ichi küña duma ná nobo matrafimeje, se ye no shürhaw malyafijome.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34“Ĝu bo udame, sé ĝu tsamĝüw lyameje, se í ha yo ĝu lüw dajowa.Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Se ye no ubo je seyo nobi ubo je chiĝa ge makakujomme: se í nüna na ñepsü ge joajohubamme. Djuchi ge dzüjo ufu duma dzülasajodawe.”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.”
