Luke 14 (KBQ) · Opened

1Mago mani fruhu knazupa (Sabati) Jisasi'a Farisi kva ne'mofo nompi ne'za nenaku vuno umani'nege'za, nankna hugahie hu'za zamagra kete'za mani'naze.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Ana higeno avuga mago nera avufga zore krimo azeri haviza hu'nea ne' mani'ne.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Kasegere ugota hu'naza vahe ene, Farisi vahera Jisasi'a anage huno zmantahigene. Mani fruhu knazupa (Sabat) knare vahera zamazeri so'e hugahumpi osugahune?So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Hianagi zamagra ke osu manizageno, ana nera avufare azerino kri'a azeri so'e huteno huntegeno vu'ne.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Ana huteno anage huno zamasami'ne, Inamoka mofavrekamo'o bulimakao afukamo ti afi kerifi uraminenigenka, mani fruhu (Sabati) knazupa ame hunka ome avare anaga otegahano?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?”

6Zamagra ana kemofo nona'a hugara osu'naze.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Jisasi'a kegeno ne'za nehogu ke hazage'za e'naza vahe'mo'za, ra zamagima eri trateke emanizageno, Jisasi'a anage huno fronka kea zamasami'ne.When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8Mago'a vahe'mo'ma, tamagri'ma ke hanigetma arave hu nezantema vanutma, ra agima ami tratera uomaniho. Na'ankure mago vahera tamagri'ma tamagatere'nesia vahera kea hu'nesigu'enene.“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.

9Hagi ana taregamota tanagi hu'nesimo eno, traka'a ama ne' amio huno hanigenka, kagazegu nehunka atrenka refarega umanigahane.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.

10Tamagima hanigetma vanutma henka trate umani'nenkeno, tamagima higeta vu'nazamo'ma esuno'a, anage huno hugahie. Ronenimota, enagagateho hanigetma, maka trate'ma mani'naza vahe zmufina ra tmagia erigahaze.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.

11Na'ankure maka vahe'mo'za zmavufga ra hanamokizmia, Anumzamo'a zamazeri fenka tregahie. Hianagi zamagra zmavufga anteramisamokizmia, Anumzamo'a zamazeri sga hugahie.For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Anage nehuno, ne'za nehoguma ke hige'za e'naza kva nera asamino, ra ne'za kresnunka roneka'ane, kafu kaganahe'ine, vaheka'ane afufeno zimine vahe'ene zamagrike zamagi osuo. Ru ana vahe'mo'za kagri'enena ke hu'za nona hu'za kamisagenka mizanka'a erigahane.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.

13Hu'neanagi ra nezama retroma nehanunka, zmunte omne vahe'ene, agia aza stinesia vahe'ene, aga havizahu vahe'ene, avusu hu'nesnia vahe kea huge'za eho.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14E'inahu vahe'mo'za nona hu'za kamigara osu'nazankinka, kagra asomu erigahane. Na'ankure fatgo vahe'mo'za frinesafintima otisaza knazupa mizanka'a erigahane.and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Mago'mo nezane trate zamaza tununte mani'nafinti ana kema hia nentahino, anage huno Jisasina asmi'ne. Maka vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo Kumapima bretima nesamo'za asomu erigahaze!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.”

16Hianagi Jisasi'a ana kemofo nona'a anage huno asmi'ne, Mago ne'mo'a ra ne'za retro huteno hakarea vea ana nezante eho huno ke hu'ne. (Mat 22:1-10)But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Ne'zama nesaza kna egeno, kazokzo eri'za vahe'a hunteno, koma zamagi hu'noa vahete vunka eho hunka ome zamasamio. Na'ankure nezantamia hago retro huramante'ne hunka ome zmasamige'za eho.When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Hianagi maka'mo'za hu'za tasunku hunanki, eri'zanti me'ne hu'naze. Ese'mo'a anage huno ana kazokzo eriza nera asmi'ne. Nagra mago mopa mizasenoa ome kegahuankina, nasunku huanki ovugahue.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.’

19Anante'mo'a anage hu'ne, 10ni'a hoza eri bulimakao miza sentenorega vu'na ome avame ante'na kegahuankina, nasunku huanki omegahue.Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Anante'mo'a anage hu'ne, meni ara eri'noanki'na omegahue.Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21Ana kazokzo eriza ne'mo rukrehe huno kva'amofonte eno eme asmi'geno, kva nemo'a rimpa hegeno, ana kazokzo eri'za nera anage huno asmi'ne. Ame hunka ra kumamofo osi kampine ra kampine nevunka, afufenozmi omne'nesnia vahe'ene, zmagia zamaza stinesia vahe'ene, zamaga haviza hu'nesnaza vahe'ene, zamavu asu hu'nesnia vahe'ene zamavarenka amare eno huno hunte'ne.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.’

22Anante kazokzo eri'za ne'mo'a huno kva'nimoka, kema hunantanazana hago huanagi nompina mago'a kankamuna me'ne higeno,‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23kva ne'mo'a anage huno kazokzo eri'za nera asmi'ne. Atiraminka ranra kampine nomofo kegina kante vunka tutu hunka ome zmasamige'za, e'za noni'afina emani aviteho.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.

24Na'ankure Nagra anage hu'na negasamue, magore hu'za ko'ma zamagima hu'noa vahe'mo'za, nezani'afintira onetfa hugahaze.For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Jisasina tusi'a vea krerfamo'za amage avaririza nevazageno, rukrehe huno amanage huno zamasmi'ne.Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26Mago'mo Nagrite enaku nehuno, nefane nererane a'amofone, mofavre'ane afuhe'ine, asarehe'ine, agra'agu'enema ha'ma reontesimo'a, Nagri disaipol omanigahie.“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.

27Iza'o agra'a keka zafa erigofino Nagri namage omesimo'a, Nagri disaipol omanigahie.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28Iza'o tmagripintima zaza noma kinaku hanuno'a, kotazana manineno nama'a zagonu nona ki vagaregahue huno refako huno keteno nona kino.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?

29Za'za no kinaku eri agafa huno tra'a tro hunteteno, kivaga oresigeno, kesnaza vahe'mo'za hunte'za agiza nere'za,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30ama ne'mo'a knare huno nona agafa hianagi, nona kivagaregara osie hu'za hugahaze.saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31Hagi mago kini ne'mo'ma, mago kini ne'ma ha'ma ome huntenakura, esera mani'neno antahino nagrira 10 tauseni'a sondia vaheni'a maninazankita 20 tauseni'a sondia vahe'mo'zama ha'ma eme hurantesaza vahera zmageteregahumpi, zmagete oregahune huno refko huno nege.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?

32Ha'ma agateregama osnuno'a, ha' vahe'amoma afete ne-esigeno, agra mago'a vahe huzmantenke'za vu'za agri agi eriza magoaza ome huhampri nezmante'za ha'ma osu'za zamarimpa fru hu'za manisagu ome asmigahaze.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 hu'negu mago'mo'e huno, mikozama'amofo amagena huomisimo'a, Nagri disaipol omanigahie.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34Hagemo'a knare hu'neanagi, haga'ama omnena, ete inankna huno haga'a erigahie?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35E'i haviza hu'neno mopamofonena masevena amigara osu'neankino, atresigeno amnezankna hugahie. Iza'o agesa me'nenigeno nentahisimo'a, atregeno agesa antahise hino.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.”
