Luke 14 (MGV) · Opened

1Lisoba limu lu Kupomulela, Yesu jajenda kula posu ku nyumba jaka kilongosi jumu jwa Afalisayu, na bandu bababi pala batenda kunndingalaki ngamaa Yesu.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Mundu jumu jojubi nu ugonzu ukuimba nhyega jabii palongi jaka Yesu.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Yesu jaalalukiya abola bamalagalaki na Afalisayu, “Boo, Malagalaki gitu gatupwata gutupwagi tulamisa bandu mlisoba lu Kupomulela au ngasegutuluhuso?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Lakini ngasebajibwiki sindo. Ndienu Yesu ankamula nngonzu jola nukundamisa nukunndeka jujenda.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Ndi Yesu jaalalukia, “Nya kati jii mwanawaki au ng'ombi jaki ana jiabuki mukiliba Lisoba lu Kupomulela ngaampie kunza?”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?”

6Lakini ngasebawesa kujibu sindo.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Yesu pajaabona ageni bangi babaakokiki biliaguli beni kutama iteu yapa longi yiniisima, jaapwagila malenganu ganga.When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“Ana mundu junkukokiki kutipati ja ndoa, witama piiteu yapalongi piisima. Ndaba juwesa kuhika mundu joankokiki jongi jwiisima kupeta weapa,“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 mundu jojunkokiki mwaboti jwihika nu kukupwagi, ‘Jumuka jutama jonzo.’ Ndi wiibona ihoni pa bandu boka kujenda kutama kumwisu.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 weapa guhenga ana eguhika ku kutipati, gujenda gukatama mwiteu yumunyuma, ili jo jugukokiki pajwiika jugupwagila, ‘Nkosi wango, jumuka, guhika gutama piiteu yapalongi.’ Ndi wibiya gupatiki isima pa bandu boti babaakokiki pamu na weapa.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.

11Ndaba mundu jokapi jojulikwea kulibona nkolongu banhenga kuba nsoku, najojulihulu kuba nsoku bankwea jubiya nkolongu.”For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Ndipala Yesu ampwagila mundu jojaakokiki bandu jola, “Ana waandali bandu posu ja muhi au pakamii, kotokwaakoka akosi baku au alongu baku au bandu bana mali gingi babii pambipi nawenga. Nagutei hela, nabombi bagukoka kabee ku nyumba jabu, nanagu bagulepa ngati egwahengi.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.

13Lakini pagukuba na tipati, waakoka bandu ahagu ni ileema na bandu basindwa kujenda na bandu banga kulinga,But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14nawe wiitenda kupengeleka, ndaba baniaba ngabiiwesi kugulepa. Sapanga jagulepa masoba guku yoka bandu baamboni.”and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Mundu jumu kati ja bandu bababia atemi pamu na Yesu bakakula posu japwaga, “Jupengiwi mundu jojwikula posu mu ukolongu waka Sapanga.”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.”

16Yesu jajibua, “Mundu jumu jatei tipati ngolongu ja kula posu, jaakokiki bandu bingi.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Muda wa kula ewahika, mundu jola antuma ntumi waki jakaapwagila bandu bajaakokiki, ‘Nhikaniya, ndaba kila sindu kibi 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.’

18Lakini boti kila jumu batenda kupia sababu. Mundu juku tumbuli, japwaga ‘Nombiki litui, mbala nyenda kulibona, gupepa koku ngahike.’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.’

19Mundu jongi japwaga, ‘Nombiki ng'ombi kome yu kuleme, henu nyenda kuilenge. Gupepa koku ngahike,’Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20ahelahe mundu jongi japwaaga, ‘Nyukwi mbomba ehenu, nganhwesi kuika.’Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21Mtumi hoju jabuja nukumpwagi nkolongu waki majambu goti. Nkolongu waki jayomiki ngamaa, ampwagila mtumi waki, ‘Gujenda nyatanyata mwijiji na mumipeta ya musi wakapwajila ahagu, baalemi na banga kujenda na banga kulinga ahika.’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.’

22Monikatai, mtumi jola japwaga, ‘Nkolongu, ndei ngati egumbwagi lakini jakona napwasi jukutama bandu.’‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Ndi nkolongu ampwagila mtumi waki, ‘Gujenda mwiindela na mumipeta ya musi waalasimisa bandu aikaniya, ili nyumba jangu jitwelila.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.

24Numpwagi sakaka, ngamundu jumu kati jabandu banaakokiki jojwionza posu ja tipati jangu!’ ”For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Ndipala, nsambi nkolongu wa bandu egwabiya gujenda najombi, Yesu jugung'anumbukiya nsambi wa bandu nakugupwagi,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26“Mundu jokapi jojuhika kwangu kutaki jumbala nepani kupeta hejwaapala ahengo baki na amabu baki, nunhwanu waki na bana baki, alongu baki na aka alombu baki hata womi waki mweni, ngasejiwesa kuba mbolee wango.“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.

27Mundu jokapi janga kujuku nsalaba waki nukumbwata ngajwiwesi kuba mbolee wango.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28Boo nya kati ji na jupai kusenga nnala nkolongu, ngajwiitami oti pai kubalanga lupija lojiwesa kusenge, ili jumanya ana jubii nu lupija lukujomule lihengu lake?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 jutumbuli kusenga nsingi, nangasejuwesa kujomule bandu boti babumbona biitenda kunheka.Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30Ndienu biipwaaga, ‘Mundu hoju jutumbulii kusenga, lakini ngasejawesiki kujomulile lihengu laki.’saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31Au bambu nkolongu boo jojupala kujenda kukomana na bambu nkolongu jongi, nga jutami hoti pai kuwasali ana mbaka juwesi kukomana kwa alonda baki elupu komi bajubinaku na alonda elupu ishilini baka bambu nkolongu jongi hoju?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?

32Ana jubona ngajwiiwesi, jaatuma atumi baki ajenda kuku nkolongu hoju koni jakoni kutali ili kundoba ajatangannya biikomana.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Ahelahe, ana mundu ngase juwesa kukileka sindu sejubii nasu ngasejupalika kuba mbolee wango.”In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34“Mwinyu sindu sa sapi, lakini naguohiki kunong'amake kwaki, wijonzukiya kii ili kukelubuki kunoga kwaki?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Ngasegupalika kubeka puluombi wala kuangangana na mbolea. Bandu biitenda kujileke kutali. Jojubi na makutu jujoana!”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.”
