Luke 14 (SBK) · Opened

1Yabha nawinjila mhati mnyumba eya mntu omo mmiongoni mwagosi abhe Mafarisayo isiku elyatoye, alye eshalye bharibhahuzijira.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Enya, hwitagalila lyakwe hwalimntu obhino owe safura.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3O Yesu wagalula wabhabhola abhane sheria na Farisayo, “Eshi, shinzi apome isiku Elyatoye, au seshasho?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Abhahale bhapoma wakhata waponia, waruhusu abharaje omwene.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Wabhabhora wenu kati yenyu ambaye engombe yakwe au edogomi yakwe etumbushiye mwilende wenu yasaga agavumbula isiku elyatoye?”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?”

6Wape sebhawezizye galule enongwa ezi.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Abhabhola ofwano bhala bhahanilwe, nalolile nabhasalula amatengo aga hwitangalila wayanga,When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“Nkoyanilwe no muntu hu harusi, oganje akhala amatengo aga hwitagalila, ogajebhe aje oyanilwe omntu yaheshimiwa ashile awe.“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.

9Wenza ola yabhanile awe nomwene, nahubhole osegulishe ono esho shobhahwande abhenesoni awene itengo elya hwisalo.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.

10Ila nkoyanwe bhalaga okhala pitengo elya hwisalo, nkashile ola yamwanile abhole, `Rafiki wane, enzaga hwitagalila.” esho pobhabhe nehema hwitagalila elya bhantu wonti bhakheye pandwemo nawe.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.

11Afanaje kila wahwikuzya ahwisiwa wape wahwiyisya azuviwa. 'For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Wabhola ola ya mwanile nobhomba eshalye esha pasanya au esha nandwebhela, uganje abhakwizye arafiki bhaho wala aholo bhaho wala amwenyu bhaho wala ajirani bhaho bhabhalineshoma wape bhasahenze bhamwana awe wapata alipe.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.

13Eshi nobhomba eshikurukuru bhakwizye apena, alema, na viwete avipofu,But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14nawe obhabhe nafu afwanaje ebhoselinahahulipe afwanaje wayilipwa nawayi owazyoshe owelyoli.”and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Nawe nawovwa ego omo owabhala bhakheye pashalye pandwemo nawo abholele, “Nafu ola yabhalye ibumunda katika Oumwene owa Ngolobhe!”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.”

16Wabhola omntu omo abhombile eshikurukuru eshigosi, ahanile abhantu abhinji.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Wasontezya obhomba mbombo wakwe esala eyeshalye abhabhole bhala bhabhanilwe, `'Enzaji, afwanaje evintu vyonti vibhehwelwe tayari.'When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Bhahandile bhonti, afumye audhuru hunia emo. Owahwande abholele, 'Enkarile ogonda, ehwanzaje embale endwenye. Ehulabha onsajile.'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.’

19Owamwabho wayanga, `'Enkarile eng'ombe, ejozi zisanu embala azilenje ehulabha onsajile.'Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Owamwabho wayanga, 'Enejile oshe, afwatanesho sebwezizye ahwenze.'Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21Ola osontelezi wabhala wabhola ogosi wakwa enongwa zye mambo ego. Basi ola omwanesho nyumba wavitwa, `'Wabhola osontizi wakwe fuma nanali obhale mwidara igosi na mvichochoto evi boma obhalete epa apena, na lema na vipofu na viwete.”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.’

22Osontizi wayanga, `Gosi ego golajizizye gamalishe abhombeshe, hata sheshi nemo enafasi.'‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Ogosi wabhola osontezi, 'Fuma hwonze obhale hubalabala na mpaho obhashurutishe ahwinjile mhati, enyumba yane ebhe ememile.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.

24Eshi embabhola yaje katika bhala bha bhahanilwe sahweli hata omo yabhayilenje eshikurukuru shane. 'For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Amabongano aminji nabhali bhahubhenjeya wape, agalushe wabhabhola,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26'Nkashele omntu nkayeze hwiline wape sahuvitu oyise wakwe, no nyine wakwe, noshe wakwe, na bhana bhakwe, na holo bhakwe abheshilume na bhesheshe- nantele hata enafsi yakwe yoyo sawezizye abha mwanafunzi 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.

27Omntu yoyonti yasayeji eshikhobhohanyo shakwe nahwenzi hwisalo lyane sawezizye abha mwanafunzi wane.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28Eshi wenu kati amwe, nkashile ohwanza azenje omnara yasakhala nasoti na bhazye egharama aje alinavyo evyamalelezye?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?

29Asibhe wamenwa amale baada eyazenje omsingi abhantu wonti bhabhalola bhaganda huseshe,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30bhayanga, Omntu ono ahandile azenje wabha salinamaha aga malezyenje.'saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31Au huli no mwene wele, nkahwanza abhale alwe no mwene owenje yasakhala nsoti na abhombe ajehane, aje omwahale pandwemo na bhantu elfu kumi agawezya atangane nola yahwenza juu yakwe na bhantu 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?

32Na nkashile walola sewezizye asontezya oujumbe ogwahwanza eamani omntu ola salihutari.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Shila omo wenyu yasaleshile vyonti vyalinavyo sawezizye abhe mwanafunzi wane.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34Omwoni hantu ahinza, lelo omwoni nkashile gunanjishe oponyeye nu ili gukhole?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Seguhwanziwa mnsi wala jaa abhantu bhaitaga hwonze. Yali namakutu agatejezye, na ayovwe.”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.”
