Luke 14 (ISN) · Opened

1Aeipumie luhiku lakumukulya, naulongoe munyumba ang'wi ao nuatongeli a Mafarisayo kulya mukate, neenso akumugoza kwa pakupe.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Goza, pantongelakwe aukole muntu nuanso aukagigwa nuuimbwa.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3U Yesu wakaakolya eamanyi kupuma milago la Ayahudi ne Mafarisayo, “Ite izane kumukomya umuntu uluhiku lakukulya, anga singauu?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Lakini nianso akilagilye ihetwe, kuite u Yesu wakamuamba, wekamukomya wikamulekela alongole yakwe.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Nung'wenso wikamuila, “Nyenyi apaite nukite ung'wana ang'wi ng'ombe wagwila muluze luhiku la kukulya shanga ukumuluta kunzi wapume?”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?”

6Nianso aeagila anga uhumi wakupumya ulukani kunkani niyanso.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Imatungo u Yesu nauagundue naile naalekilwe kina asagae intu niyaheshima, akaaila, kupyani akaaila.When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8Imatungo nimalekilwe numuntu kuwinga, ukekikie munafasi naheshima, kunsoko iwezekanile walikilwe muntu mungiza nukite heshima kukila uewe.“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.

9Imatungo umuntu nualekilwe unye nimeabiile angawapike, ukuela uewe, “muhegele uyu enafasi ako” kuite kwa minyala ukonza kuhega nukikie kunyuma.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.

10Lakini uewe angawalekwe, longola wikie kumwisho ite imatungo angawaza nukualekile, uhumile kuuila uewe, muhumba miane, longola kuntongela kukila.” Kuite ukutula uheshimiwe ntongela aehi neikie palung'wi nuewe pameza.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.

11Kundogoilyo uyu nuikulya wisimigwa, nuyu nuisimya wikuligwa.For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12U Yesu akamuila umuntu naumalekile, “Nukupumya indya ya mung'wi ang'wi yampende, lakukualeka eahumba eako ang'wi anya ndugo ako ang'wi antu ang'wi anyakisale ako neatajili, ite kunsoko neaenso akekualika uewe upate ilipo.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.

13Kuleka ite, nukuanya isherehe, aaleke eamasikini, ealema, akewete, niapoku,But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14nuewe ukukembetwa, kunsoko shangaakulipa. Kundogoelyo ukulipwa muwioki watai.”and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Imatungo ung'wi ao aewikie mumeza palung'wi nu Yesu naewigule aya, nung'wenso wikaaela, “Ukembetilwe nuanso nuekulya umukute muutemi wang'wi Tunda.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.”

16Lakini u Yesu wikaaila, “Muntu ung'we auzepilye sherehe nkulu, akaitanga antu eedu.”But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Matungo isherehe naekole tayari, aumutumike umitumi akwe aaele awa naalekilwe, “Pembyi mihi kunsoko iintu yehi ikole tayali.When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Ehi, ekatulalompa radhi. Nuang'wandyo akamuila umitumi, ngoile mugunda, lazima nende nulegoze. Itunu unsamile.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.’

19Numuya wikalunga, Nguile majoki ataano na ng'ombe, nunene niinzu kuagema, itunu unkoelwe.Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Nu muntu mungiza wekalunga, “Ntenile musungu, kuite shanga nzile.”Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21Umitumi akasuka akamuila umukulu wakwe emakani nanso. Umukola nyumba wikataka akamuila umitumi wakwe, “Longokaya muisale numukona akisale ualete hapa iamasikini, niakelema, niapoku nawa nialemilwe.”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.’

22Umitumi wikalunga, mkulu aya nazundagiye ehi namituma, ganitungile ga enafasi kele ekole.”‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Mukulu wikamuila umitumi, longola munzila nenkulu uahimize eantu ingiile, ite enyumba ne izule.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.

24Kundogoelyo kumuila, kuite awa nialekilwe nung'wandyo shangaukuonza esherehe ane.For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Ite umati ukulu aealongoe palung'wi nung'wenso, nung'wenso wikapiluka, wikaaila,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26Angize muntu wizile kitalane nung'wenso shangaumubipiwe utata akwe, musungu wakwe, anaaakwe, anyandugu akwe, agoha nawa niasungu ee, ga nuwikale wakwe ga shanga ukutula mumanyisigwa wane.“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.

27Umuntu nushanga ukuhola umusalaba wakwe waze kunyuma ane shanga uhumile kutula mumanyisigwa wane.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28Kundogoelyo nyenyu ung'wi anyu, nuhumilwe insula akuzenga umunola shanga ukikie hanza wakadilie engalama kumahesabu kina ukite eke nutakile wahu kukamisha nelanso?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?

29Kuite, baada akuika umusingi nukuleng'wa kumala, ehi naineakanza kumugema.Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30Akutambula umuntu uyu aewandilye kuzenga, wekatula mugila anga ngulu akumailya.”saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31Ite mutemike, nutakile kenda kikua nuutemi nuungiza kumbita, shanga uhumile kikie hanza pihe nukuhola imasigo angize uhumile, palung'wi ni antu elfu ikumi kikua nuutemi nuungiza nuukiza migulya akwe neantu elfu ishilini?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?

32Kang'wi shangauu, matungo ijeshi nilaangiza kile lekole kule, wetuma momboi kutaka emashariti aamani.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Kuite gwa, wehi ung'wi ao neshanga ukuleka ehi nanso nukete, shanga uhumile kutula mumanyisigwa ane.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34Umunyu uza, lakini anga umunyu angaulimilye lauha akwe, ikutula ule utule munyu hange?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Ngila anga matumizi muudogo hata mumbolea uyu nakite iakutwe ahija nuije.”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.”
