Luke 14 (KOS) · Opened

1Sie len Sabbath Jesus el som in mongo in lohm sin sie sin mwet kol lun mwet Pharisee, ac mwet uh arulana tonel Jesus.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Oasr mukul se fafwak paol ac nial el tuku nu yurin Jesus,Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3ac Jesus el siyuk sin mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet Pharisee uh, “Ku Ma Sap lasr uh lela in akkeyala mas ke len Sabbath, ku tia?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4A elos tiana fahkla sie kas. Jesus el eis mwet sac ac akkeyalla ac supwalla.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Na el fahk nu selos, “Fin sie suwos oasr wen se natul ku soko ox natul su putatla nu in sie luf loal ke len Sabbath, ku kowos ac tia sulaklak sraklalak liki luf sac ke na len Sabbath?”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?”

6Na elos tiana ku in topkol ke ma se inge.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Jesus el liye lah kutu mwet uh lungsena sulela acn in muta wowo, ouinge el fahk pupulyuk se inge nu selos nukewa:When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“Mwet se fin suli kom nu ke kufwen marut, nimet kom som muta ke acn ma wo emeet uh. Sahp ac oasr pac mwet se solsolma su fulat liki kom,“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.

9na mwet se la kufwa uh su suli komtal kewa, ac tuku ac fahk nu sum, ‘Sang el uh elan muta insacn.’ Na kom ac tonongla ac som muta ke acn ma pusisel oemeet uh.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.

10In tia ouinge, a ke suliyuk kom, wo kom in som ac muta ke acn ma pusisel oemeet uh, na mwet se ma suli kom uh fah fahk nu sum, ‘Kawuk, fahsru muta ke acn wowo se inge.’ Ouiya se inge ac akkatoye kom ye mutun mwet nukewa ma suliyuk uh.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.

11Tuh kutena mwet su sifacna akfulatyal ac fah akpusiselyeyuk, a el su sifacna akpusiselyal ac fah akfulatyeyuk.”For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Na Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet se la kufwa uh, “Kom fin orek mongo infulwen len ku eku, nimet kom suli mwet kawuk lom, ku mwet wiom ku sou lom saya, ku mwet tulan kasrup lom — mweyen elos ac mau suli kom pac tok, na fin ouinge kom ac eis tari molin orekma wo se kom oru ah.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.

13Kom fin orek kufwa, kom suli mwet sukasrup, mwet sukapas, mwet ul, ac mwet kun;But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14na ac fah akinsewowoyeyuk kom, mweyen elos ac tia ku in folokin orekma wo lom. God El ac fah folokin orekma lom ke len se mwet wo uh moulyak liki misa.”and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Ke sie sin mwet su welul mongo el lohng ma inge, el fahk nu sin Jesus, “Fuka lupan engan lun mwet su wi ipeis ke kufwa lun Tokosrai lun God!”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.”

16Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Oasr mwet se tuh oru kufwa na lulap se, ac suli mwet na pus nu kac.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Ke mongo in kufwa sac akola tari, el supwala mwet kulansap lal in som fahk nu sin mwet ma el suli uh, ‘Fahsru, ma nukewa akola!’When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Tusruk elos nukewa mutawauk in fahk sripa lalos in tia ku in som. Mwet se oemeet uh fahk nu sin mwet kulansap sac, ‘Nga tufahna molela ipin acn se, ac nga enenu in som liye. Nunak munas, fahk elan tuleyula.’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.’

19Ac sie pac fahk, ‘Nga tufahna molela cow mukul singoul, ac nga ac som srikalos. Nunak munas, fahk elan tuleyula.’Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Ac sie pac fahk, ‘Nga tufahna marutla, ac ke sripa se inge nga tia ku in fahsrot.’Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21Na mwet kulansap sac folokla ac fahkak ma inge nukewa nu sin leum lal. Leum sac arulana foloyak ac fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, ‘Sulaklak fahla nu pe inkanek uh ac nu inmasrlon lohm in siti uh ac pwanma mwet sukasrup, mwet sukapas, mwet kun, ac mwet ul.’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.’

22Tiana paht toko, mwet kulansap sac fahk, ‘Sap lom ah orekla tari, tusruk srak pacna oasr acn lula nu sin kutu pac mwet.’‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Ouinge leum sac sifil fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, ‘Fahsrot nu ke inkanek in ima uh ac acn pac likin siti uh, ac sap mwet uh in tuku, tuh lohm sik fah sessesla.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.

24Nga fahk nu suwos nukewa lah tia siefanna sin mwet suliyuk meet ah ac fah wi ema mongo ke kufwa se luk inge!’”For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Sie pacl ah ke un mwet puspis elos welul Jesus fahsr, el forla ac fahk nu selos,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26“Kutena mwet su tuku nu yuruk, el koflana mwet tumuk lutlut el fin tia lungse nga yohk liki papa tumal ac nina kial, mutan kial ac tulik natul, mwet lel ac mwet lohl, oayapa moul lal sifacna.”“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.

27Kutena mwet su tia us sakseng lal sifacna ac fahsr tukuk, koflana mwet tumuk lutlut.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28Fin sie suwos akoo in musai sie tower, el enenu in muta ac motkwala lupan molo an meet, ac liye lah ac fal mani ma oasr yorol in aksafyela ma el oru uh.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?

29El fin tia oru ouinge, na tukun el oakiya pwelung uh el ac tia ku in aksafyela tower sac, ac mwet nukewa ma liye ac fah isrunul.Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30Elos ac fahk, ‘Mwet se inge mutawauk in musai, a el tia ku in aksafyela!’saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31Fin sie tokosra el oatula wi mwet singoul tausin, in mweun lain sie pac tokosra su tuku in lainul wi mwet longoul tausin, el ac enenu in muta ac nunkala meet lah pwaye oasr ku lal in lain tokosra se ngia.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?

32El fin tia ku, na el ac supwala mwet utuk kas in osun nu sin tokosra se ngia in pwapa ke sukyen inkanek in misla ke el srakna loes lukel.”And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Ac Jesus el sifil fahk, “In ouiya se pacna inge, wangin sie suwos ku in mwet tumuk lutlut el fin tia fuhleak ma lal nukewa.”In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34“Sohl uh ma wo se, tusruktu fin wanginla emah, wanginna ma ac ku in orek in sifil folokonak emah.Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Ac wanginla sripa nu ke fohkon acn uh, oayapa nu ke mwe akmongo sacn uh. Ac fah sisila. Ke ma inge kowos porongo, fin oasr srewos!”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.”
