Luke 14 (MSY2020)

1Sabatɨn dughiar mam Iesus ghua Farisibar gumazir ekiamɨn dɨpenimɨn api. Ezɨ dughiar kam gumazamiziba bar deravɨram an gari.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Ezɨ an guamɨn gumazir mɨkarzim buizir mam iti.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Ezɨ Iesus Farisiba ko Judan Arazibagh fozir gumazibar azara, “Moses Osirizir Araziba, da Sabatɨn gumazamizibar arɨmariaba ghuamaghasa amamangatɨz, o puvatɨ?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Ezɨ me nɨmɨra itima a gumazimɨn suiragha a gamizɨma a dera. Egha anemadazɨ a ghu.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Egha a men azara, “Ian tavɨn otaritam o bulmakaun tam Sabatɨn dughiamɨn mozirpamɨn magɨrɨghtɨma, ia ti mangɨ uam a gekuigham, o?”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?”

6Ezɨ me mɨkɨmamin akabagh asa.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Dughiar kam Iesus gari, gumazir gighamiziba me dabirabir danganir ekiaba dagher dakozimɨn da isi. Ezɨ Iesus akar isɨn zuir kamɨn me mɨgei,When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“Gumazitam amuir ikɨzimɨn isam bagh diaghtɨ, nɨ mangɨ dabirabir danganir ekiar faragha itim dapian markɨ. Me, gumazir ziar ekiar nɨn ziam gafirazim, a bagha a ginaba.“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.

9Eghtɨ, isar ghuavir vɨrara guan diazim izɨ kamaghɨn nɨ mɨkɨmam, ‘Nɨ uan mɨsiam gumazir kam danɨngigh.’ Eghtɨ nɨ bar aghumsɨghɨva, danganir bar gɨn itim inigham.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.

10Kamaghɨn amizɨ dughiar me nɨn diazim, nɨ danganir apengan itim inigh, eghtɨ isar ghuavim izɨ suam, ‘Roroam, nɨ danganir aghuir pɨn itimɨn mangɨ.’ Eghtɨ nɨ ziar aghuarim nɨ ko itir darazir tongɨn a iniam.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.

11Gumazamizir uan ziaba feba, God me abɨnam. Eghtɨ gumazamizir uari abɨriba, God me feghtɨ me ziar ekiam iniam.”For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Egha Iesus ua isar ghuavim mɨgei, “Nɨ isam damuva, uan roroaba ko aveghbuaba, o anababa, o nɨn namakar biziba bar avɨrasemeziba, nɨ men dɨman markɨ. Nɨ men diaghtɨ, me uamategh nɨn diaghtɨ, nɨ kamaghɨn uan ikarvazim uamategh a inigham.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.

13Ezɨ nɨ isam damuamin dughiam, nɨ onganarazibagh amiba, soroghafariba ikuviziba, suer kurar aruir puvatɨziba, ko damazir kurabar diagh.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Eghtɨ God arazir aghuimɨn nɨ damuam. Gumazir kaba nɨn dagheba ikaraghan kogham. Kamaghɨn amizɨ, nɨ uan ikarvazim dughiar gumazir Godɨn damazimɨn deraziba ua dɨkavamimɨn a iniam.”and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Egha Iesus ko dakozimɨn itir gumazibar mav Iesusɨn akaba baregha, kamaghɨn Iesus mɨgei, “Gumazir God Bizibagh Ativamin Dughiamɨn isar ekiam amamim, a bar akongegham.”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.”

16Ezɨ Iesus kamaghɨn a ikaragha ghaze, “Dughiar mam gumazir mam isar ekiam bagha biziba akɨrava gumazamizir avɨrimɨn dia.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Isam azuir dughiamɨn, isar ghuavim a gighamiziba bagha uan ingangarir gumazim me mɨkɨmasa anemaga ghaze, ‘E biziba bar ada akɨrigha gɨfa, kamaghɨn amizɨ ia izɨ.’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“Ezɨ me bar moghɨra mangan aghuagha uan dɨmdiam avaghboava mɨgɨrɨgɨar ifavaribagh ami. Egha men mav faragha kamaghɨn mɨgei, ‘Kɨ datɨrɨghɨra nguazim givese, egh mangɨva an ganasa. Noka, kɨ izan kogham.’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.’

19Ezɨ igharazim ghaze, ‘Kɨ 10plan bulmakaubagh ivese, egha kɨ da ingangarim gatɨgha dar ganasa zui. Noka, kɨ izan kogham. Ga uaning, nɨ nan gun isar ghuavim mɨkemegh.’Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Ezɨ gumazir mɨkezim kamaghɨra a mɨgei, ‘Kɨ amuim ini, kamaghɨn amizɨ, kɨ izan kogham.’Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21“Ezɨ ingangarir gumazim uamategha izava akar kabar gun uan ekiam mɨkeme. Ezɨ isar ghuavim atara kamaghɨn mɨgei, ‘Nɨ zuamɨra azenan mangɨva nguibar ekiamɨn itir tuavir ekiaba ko afeghtiabar mangɨva onganarazibagh amiba, ko soroghafariba ikuviziba, ko damazir kuraba, ko suer kurar aruir puvatɨziba, me inigh izɨ.’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.’

22Ezɨ ingangarir gumazim kamaghɨn a mɨgei, ‘Ekiam, nɨ mɨkemezɨ moghɨn kɨ amigha gɨfa, ezɨ danganir maba ikiavɨra iti.’‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Ezɨ isar ghuavim uan ingangarir gumazim kamaghɨn a mɨgei, ‘Nɨ mangɨ tuavir ekiaba ko tuavir dozibar itiba bar me mɨkɨmtɨ, me izɨ, eghtɨ nan dɨpenim izɨvaka.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.

24Ezɨ, kɨ nɨ mɨgei, gumazir kɨ faragha diaziba men tav isar kamɨn daghetam ameghan kogham.’ ”For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Ezɨ gumazamizir bɨzir dafam Iesus koma arui. Ezɨ a ragha men gara kamaghɨn mɨgei,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26“Tina na bagh izɨva, egha uan afeziam ko amebam, o amuim ko boriba, o aveghbuaba, o amezamebaba ko buaramiziba bar men aghuaghɨva, egha uaghan uan ikɨrɨmɨrim ateghan koghɨva, egh nan suren gumazim o amizimɨn otoghan kogham.“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.

27Egh tina uan ter ighuvir an ovengamim a gupugh, egh nan gɨn izan koghɨva, nan suren gumazim o amizimɨn otoghan kogham.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28“Ian tina dɨpenir ekiamɨn ingarasa, a ti faragh daperagh nɨghnighɨva, egh suam, kɨ dagɨaba manmaghɨra dɨpenir kam agɨvagham?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?

29Egh ian tina dɨpenir ekiamɨn ingarsɨ, a faragh daperagh nɨghnɨgh suam, ‘Kɨ dagɨaba manmaghɨra dɨpenir kam a gɨvagham?’ Puvatɨghtɨma, a ghuriamra damighɨva, egh anegɨvaghan koghtɨma, me bar an ganɨva dɨbovir mɨgɨrɨgɨabar a damu, suam, ‘Gumazir kam dɨpenimɨn ingara bar anegɨvazir puvatɨ.’Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

31“O, kɨ kamaghɨn mɨkɨm suam, atrivir mam atrivir igharazim ko mɨdorozir ekiam damuasa. A ti faragh daperagh uabɨra uabɨn azangsɨgh suam, ‘Kɨ ti 10 tausenɨn mɨdorozir gumaziba ko mangɨ, na bagha izir atrivimɨn 20 tausenɨn mɨdorozir gumazibagh afiragham, o puvatɨgham?’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 mɨsoghan iburaghɨva, egh atrivim saghuiamra ikɨtɨma, an abuir gumaziba mangɨ suam, mɨdorozim markɨ.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Ezɨ kamaghɨra, ian tina bizir a itiba bar moghɨra a da ateghan koghɨva, egh nan suren gumazim o amizimɨn otoghan kogham.”In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34Egha Iesus ua kamaghɨn mɨgei, “Amangsɨzim a dera, egh a uan isɨngtɨzim ateghtɨ, ia manmaghɨn a damightɨ a ua sɨngigham?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35An obarir nguazim ko bulmakaubar buariba uaghan dar akuraghan kogham. Kamaghɨn amizɨ, me a makuni. Tina kuarimning iti, an oragh.”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.”
