Luke 14 (HWO) · Opened

1A far yiɓǝd Yahudaya, ɗǝna Yeeso ka hǝb ǝnnarhami a minda ki mamnda tǝ Farisarha ɗǝ, djang yirha nda fa.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2A mbǝɗi ƙǝlagha hai niifa ƙǝt a mbedghǝn, saryighǝn tǝ haryighǝn hǝhǝthla hai.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Tsahangga Yeeso mee Farisayini tǝ fasǝngya ngyakhrha, “Ngyakhad Musa nggǝmɗafa a ƙǝnanggǝm niifa a Far Yibrha wa?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Amma nggasa nda titib. Ƙǝsgha Yeeso har niifɗi, ƙǝnanggǝn ndanggǝn wiu fayi waBut they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Tǝrgha tsahangga Yeeso mee kanda, “Ndam ahur nun na niifasǝ na tǝ wanggǝn nduwa thladghǝn, mukɗǝ hu kwat aama hai afar yibrha, mbun ɗǝrhaɗǝ ɗun ƙǝɗang sǝ ƙǝkar wa?”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?”

6Mbangwanda kalasǝ wa.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Kǝla na Yeeso hai nafini mbunanda ɓa, wurnda mbǝd tsaukya na nggǝngga, thlǝghang karapu ɗa nǝn kanda sǝ ya.When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“A mbud niifa sa ahu wutsǝfayid kakhrha ɗǝ, ma tsauna a mbǝd tsawud mamngya wa. Nǝn ɓa naarha mbunda niifa ɓa kalgha sa mu mamnggirha.“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.

9Anaɗǝ kee, niifɗi mbuwa kun kyab, ɓagha ndorha, ‘Fǝrang mbǝd tsawud wa niifɗiya.’ Tǝrgha a mbǝɗiya na shilee ƙǝsorha, na thliirha a mbǝd tsaurha ɗǝ na ngguchit.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.

10Amma a mbunda sa, wuru mbǝd tsaurha na ngguchit, a ɓad niifɗa ɓa mbuwa sa nǝn ndorha ‘Pashi, kulo mbǝd tsaurha na ngga ya.’ Tǝrgha na wal mamnggirha a mbed shayiwa na heu mbuna nda ɓa.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.

11Ƙǝsǝr kala niifa manangga altenggǝn nanda tsawang nda ngguchit, yanɗi manangwawa altenggǝn ƙǝm nanda manang nda.”For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Tǝrgha ndangga Yeeso niifɗi aagha ndǝn, “A anna niifa ka hǝb ǝnnarhami ɓa, ko ngwanna wutsǝfayirha fa, a mbunna pashiyi wa ɓa kee wa, ko wan manggiwa, tǝ hurfayiwa, tǝ tulayiwa fa ƙǝnaya wa. A ǝnanna kee, a fara sǝmǝn nanda a aah sa kanda nggima, teu ǝnɗa nda ǝnangna kanda.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.

13Amma a nanna a mbu fiya hu wutsǝfayirha ɓa, mbuwu fa yamiya, tǝ nafiya mǝrna fandan, tǝ sǝfǝngya tǝ kwamaya,But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14na wal parka, ko nanǝn mba nda mbang teuƙǝn wa, Faara ni a teuƙǝn afar thlid fiya sǝ hu mǝra ǝnagha nggayirha.”and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Na niifasǝ tal ahur nafini na a hǝb ǝnnarhami tǝ Yeeso sǝknǝn pathɗiya, ndanggǝn, “Tǝ parkani niifa ɓagha hǝb ǝnnarhami yi mbǝnafarha fa hu kutǝryid Faara.”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.”

16Nggǝmangga Yeeso, “Na niifa sǝ ngwagha fa ǝna wutsǝfayirha nǝn manggǝn mbu fiya nǝn hangga.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17A far wutsǝfayidɗi, thlǝn mafadghǝnǝn ɗǝgha ndang nda nafini mbunǝn ɓa, ‘Ɓama ɓa, ƙǝsǝr ngwaɗi fa nanǝnya.’”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“Amma kanda na heu na nda a ˈwarha hai. Yi tal ndǝghǝn, ‘Hiiɗi heerha ɗini ƙǝlang nda ɓa, hwanni sa a ƙǝrsana.’”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“Yanɗasǝ ƙǝm ndǝghǝn, ‘Hiiɗi thlad huɗaya nggarma tuf, niyi hu kwaman ƙǝƙǝrang kanda, hwanni sa a ƙǝrsana.’Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Tahadghǝn ƙǝm ndǝghǝn, ‘Kakhki ahu ɓenɗiya, tsaunǝn kee mbiya ɗǝrha ɗǝ wa.’”Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21“Wudgha mafadɗa ɓa pǝrang ǝngginanǝn turighǝn thlǝkna nafini. Tǝrgha turiɗi sǝbgha hurghǝn ɗǝ, ndanggǝn mafadghǝn, ‘Ɗuwaɗǝ ƙǝkar tǝr kwaman huɗarha na tǝ kwaman sarya ɗǝgha hu talya ɗǝ, ɓana ɓa tǝ fa yamiya, tǝ sǝfǝngya, tǝ kwamaya tǝ nafiya mǝrna fandan hai.’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.’

22Ndagha mafadɗi, ‘Paɓa, ngwalangɗi ǝnɗi ndaana, kulo mbiya takh mbǝrha.’”‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23“Tǝrgha ndangga turiɗi mafadghǝn, ‘Ɗuwaɗǝ turu kwaman huɗaya ɗǝgha hu talya ɗǝ, ndangga kanda ɓanda ɓa tǝna wurina lǝghǝtta.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.

24Niya pǝranggǝn kun, mbǝ niifa sǝ ahur nafini ˈwani mburha ɓa na taarang wutsǝfayidɗa fa kyana ya wa.’ ”For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Farɗasǝ, fiya hangga a mbu samad Yeeso, tǝrgha kyahargha hai ndanggǝn kanda,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26“Kala niifa na midghǝn mbu samadna a nggǝmngwa nggi kal yi chin nǝn tǝ man, nukkun tǝ wanggighǝn, wan manggighǝn hǝshya tǝ nishya, tǝ altenggǝn wa, mbǝ mbang tsaurha wan tǝ tsahanna wa.“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.

27Kala niifa mbangwa tǝrang kaɗidghǝn sǝ mbu samanna nǝn, mbǝ mbang tsaurha wan tǝ tsahanna wa.”And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28“Andam na niifa sǝ ahur nun na midghǝn sǝ tǝn ƙǝnna na dzang, mbǝnǝn ˈwarha teena tsauka hai thlǝɗanggǝn ǝngya hai na ngwalang tǝndǝɗi ˈwan wa, ƙǝlanggǝn tǝ na wuɗǝɓǝla sǝ a harghǝn ngga na mbang ngwalang tǝndǝɗi wa?”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?

29A mbuhangɗa hai mbangwa mishilang wa, na fiya naarha waghǝn,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30nanda a ndaarha, “Ƙǝlama kamshiɗa hai katǝrangɗǝ tǝnda hai mbangwa mishilang wa.”saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31“Nduwa ƙǝm ana kutǝra sǝ na midghǝnsǝ yanda tǝ shadghǝn kutǝra. Mbǝnǝn tsaurha hai numagha ƙǝlanggǝn tǝna sodjayighǝn haru kumnggit kum mbang pa ƙǝfarha tǝ ka yandǝghǝn na ɓai tǝ sodjaya haru kumnggit sǝri wa?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?

32A mbǝ a mbang wa, nen ˈwarha teena thlǝn nafiya ɗǝ ka yandǝghǝn ɓalɗǝ inggun ɗa nda kaɗa kwaman tsawud ɗǝɗemnggirha.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Nǝghǝn kee ƙǝm, kala niifa ahur nun a malangwa ǝngya nanǝn tǝghǝn heu wa, mbǝ tsaurha tǝ tsahanna wa.”In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34“Fǝsa ˈyani na ngga, amma a tǝr mbǝndǝghǝn ɗǝ, tǝ ma nǝm nggǝrang mbǝndǝghǝn ɓa?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Ɓalwa targhǝnsǝ hu heerha na a mǝthlanggǝn wa, ƙǝl iraɗǝ kee. “Yi na tǝ thlǝmad sǝkrha sǝkƙǝnǝn.”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.”
