Luke 14 (TAW) · Opened

1Juda añɨŋ lep ñɨn awl olap, Jisas amɨl, Pelisi bɨawl olap kal nop ak tap ñɨŋɨnɨg amnak. Amek, Jisas nop tay tek gɨnɨmuŋ agɨl nɨŋɨjsek lɨl yelak.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Pen ñɨn anɨb ak, bɨ ñɨn tob su gak olap apɨl, Jisas tob agen wulep sɨŋak yek.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Jisas bɨ anɨb anop nɨŋɨd, bɨ Pelisi okok sek, bɨ Juda takaw nɨgtep gep okok sek kɨlop agak, Bɨ tap gup okok, añɨŋ lep ñɨn awl chɨn ak kɨlop gon suŋ lɨnɨmuŋ akaŋ mel agak?So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Agek, takaw olap pen ma yɨbɨl agelak, ne bɨ ñɨn tob su gak anop dɨnɨgek, suŋ lek, nop agyokek tɨkjakɨl amnak.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Amek, Jisas bɨ anɨb okok kɨlop agak, Añɨŋ lep ñɨn awl chɨn ak ñɨ nɨbi olap akaŋ, chag bulmakaw nɨbi olap, ñɨg malɨpɨm kaw mɨgan ayaŋ pakek, kasek dem ownɨgab akaŋ mel agak?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?”

6Agek pen takaw olap ma yɨbɨl agɨlak.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Pen bɨ anɨb okok tap ñɨŋɨnɨg, besɨgep adek teplep okok nep besɨgel amnaknɨŋ, Jisas nɨŋɨd takaw olap paladaŋ lɨl agak,When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8Bɨ olap bin dɨnɨg gɨl, tap awl ñɨŋɨnɨg nɨbop suk agek amɨl, besɨgep teplep lɨnɨmuŋ adek ak ma besɨgɨnɨmɨb agak. Bɨ anɨb ak ne, bɨawl yɨbɨl olap apɨl besɨgaŋ agɨl, lɨnɨmuŋ tek lɨnɨgab agak.“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.

9Anɨb ak nɨbi adek anɨb ak besɨgenɨgabɨm, bɨ nɨbop suk agɨnɨgab ak apɨl agɨnɨgab, Nɨbi ke sɨŋak amem, bɨawl yɨbɨl ak awl besɨgaŋ agɨnɨgab agak. Anɨb age, nɨbop nebeŋ gaknɨŋ am gol okok besɨgɨnɨgabɨm agak.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.

10Pen nɨbop tap ñɨŋɨm agɨl suk agonɨmuŋ, amɨl gol okok besɨg yenɨmɨb agak. Anɨgem, bɨ anɨb ak apɨl agɨnɨmuŋ, Bogɨlak sɨkop, nɨbi apɨl besɨgep tep adek awl besɨgɨm agɨnɨmuŋ agak. Agek, binɨb tap ñɨŋɨnɨg ap yenɨgabal okok nɨbop nɨŋɨd anɨb agɨnɨgabal, Bɨawl mɨdebal agɨnɨgabal agak.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.

11Anɨb ak tek, binɨb chɨn yɨb awl mɨdeb agɨl nepal okok, God gek yɨb kɨlop apyownɨgab agak. Pen binɨb chɨn yɨb ma mɨdeb agɨl nepal okok, God gek yɨb kɨlop yenɨgab agak.For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Jisas takaw anɨb ak agɨl, bɨ Pelisi anɨb ak tap ñɨŋɨnɨg binɨb suk agak ak nop agak, Nad tap awl ñɨŋɨnɨg, namam nak okok, bogɨlak nak okok, binɨb man nak jɨmñɨl okok, bɨ mani kuŋay yenɨgab okok, kɨlop suk ma agɨnɨmɨn agak. Ak nep pen abe ñɨnɨgabal agak.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.

13Tap awl ñɨŋɨnɨg, binɨb yɨmgeptek okok, binɨb ñɨn tob pag pakek amdɨp okok, binɨb wɨdɨn koy gup okok, binɨb tob tɨmel gup okok, kɨlop suk age apɨl tap ñɨŋɨnɨmɨb agak.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Binɨb yɨmgeptek anɨb okok, pen ñɨnɨgel tek ma lɨnɨgab ak nɨm, God binɨb teplep ne okok gek tɨkjakɨnɨgabal ñɨn ak, tap teplep yɨbɨl nep pen ñɨnɨgab agak.and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Pen takaw anɨb ak nɨŋɨd, bɨ kɨli ayɨp tap ñɨbek olap, ne Jisas nop agak, God binɨb dɨl kɨlop kod yenɨgab ak, ne ayɨp jɨmñɨl tap awl ñɨŋɨnɨgabal tek, mɨñmɨñ gɨnɨgabal agak.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.”

16Agek Jisas agak, Bɨ olap tap awl ñɨŋɨnɨg, binɨb kuŋay yɨbɨl suk agɨnɨgab agak.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Pen tap awl ñɨŋeb ñɨn anɨb ak apenɨgab, bɨ wog gɨñeb ne anop agyokɨl agɨnɨgab, Mɨñɨl am binɨb ned aglɨpin okok kɨlop am poŋɨd owan agɨnɨgab agak. Agek amɨl agɨnɨgab, Tap mɨdupsek dap nan gup nen, apem amnun agɨnɨgab agak.When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Agek, bɨ kɨli mɨdupsek agɨnɨgabal, Chɨn ma amnɨgabun. Mel agɨnɨgabal agak. Bɨ anɨb okok olap agɨnɨgab, Yad amnɨm ak pen, lum awl olap tawpin ak, nɨgɨnɨg amebin agɨnɨgab agak.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.’

19Olap agɨnɨgab, Amnɨm ak pen, wog gɨlaŋ agɨl, chag bulmakaw anep wajɨlem tawpin ak, wog gɨtep gɨnɨgel akaŋ agɨl, tunɨg dɨnɨgɨnɨg amebin agɨnɨgab agak.Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Olap agɨnɨgab, Bin yad ak kɨdeyɨl dɨpin, yad ma amnɨgayn. Mel agɨnɨgab agak.Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21Anɨb agel, bɨ anɨb ak adɨkɨd amɨl bɨawl ne anop agɨnɨgab, Bɨawl. Binɨb apan okok am agen, kɨli anɨb anɨb apal agɨnɨgab agak. Agek, bɨawl ak chɨbol nop ak tɨmel gek, bɨne anɨb anop man awl anɨb ak agyokɨl agɨnɨgab, Nad kasek kanɨbtam awl okok amɨl, kanɨbtam sɨkol okok amnoŋ agɨnɨgab agak. Binɨb yɨmgeptek okok dɨl, binɨb ñɨn tob pag pakek amdɨp okok dɨl, binɨb wɨdɨn koy gup okok dɨl, binɨb tob tɨmel gup okok dɨl, dad yɨp yɨl ownɨmɨn agɨnɨgab agak.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.’

22Agek, agɨnɨgab tek gɨl, kɨdek bɨ wog gɨñeb anɨb ak agɨnɨgab, Bɨawl. Apan tek kɨdek gɨpin ak pen, tep anep wakay ogɨnap mɨdeb agɨnɨgab agak.‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Agek, bɨawl ak wakay yokɨp okok agyokɨl agɨnɨgab, Nad kanɨbtam awl okok amɨl, kanɨbtam sɨkol okok amɨl, binɨb kuŋay yɨbɨl dad ape, kal mɨgan yɨp ak pɨsnep tɨbɨk dɨnɨmuŋ agɨnɨgab agak.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.

24Pen binɨb ned suk agen ma opal okok, tap yɨp sɨkol ogɨnap ma ñɨŋɨnɨgabal. Mel yɨbɨl agɨnɨgab agak.For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Binɨb kuŋay yɨbɨl Jisas nop kɨdek gɨlak. Gelaknɨŋ, ne adɨkɨl kɨlop agak,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26Bɨ olap yɨp yɨl ownɨgab ak pen, gos awl ne ak nap, nonɨm, nɨnay, nɨmam, bin, ñapay, mubwak ne ke okok amenɨgab, yad nɨgɨnɨgayn, yepɨs nep ownɨgab agak. Yepɨs nep ownɨgab ak nɨm, nop bɨyad agɨl ma dɨnɨgayn agak.“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.

27Binɨb an mab bak kumak chɨn ak dad ajɨl yɨp kɨdek ma gup ak, binɨb yad tek ma lup agak.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28Pen bɨ nɨbi olap, kal awl olap gɨnɨg, mani, kal meg, kujan, tap okok tɨtay dɨl gɨnɨm agɨl, kal anɨb ak gɨjunɨgab akaŋ mel agak. Gos ak nɨgtep gɨl gɨnɨmuŋ agak.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?

29Pen gin gin agɨl, kal meg ak ned nep gɨnɨgab ak pen, kal pal anɨb ak sɨsak gek, binɨb okok nop agjuwɨl agɨnɨgabal,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30Bɨ pal ak kal gɨnɨg tek gɨ dad amɨl, day sek kelɨgup agɨnɨgabal agak.saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

Anɨb ak penpen gɨl,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?

32yɨp ñagɨnɨmuŋ tek lup agɨl, pal okok kɨdek owaknɨŋ takaw ak agyokɨl agɨnɨgab, Takaw ag jɨmñɨnɨgul agɨnɨgab agak.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Anɨb ak nɨgtep gɨnɨmɨb agak. Tap nɨbi okok nep mapen lɨnɨgabɨm ak, nɨbop binɨb yad agɨl ma dɨnɨgayn agak.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.
