Luke 14 (TDX) · Opened

1Teo t’ie nizilik’ añ’anjomba’ ty mpiamo beim-Pariseoo hikama ami’ty Sabotse, le fonga nikirok’ aze.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Aa hehe te añatrefa’e eo t’indaty voa ty trinike.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Le hoe ty ontane’ Iesoà amo mpahay Hàkeo naho amo Fariseoo: No’ i Hake hao ty mampijangañe ami’ty Sabotse?So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Nianjiñe avao iereo, aa le rinambe’e naho jinanga’e, vaho nampiavote’e.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Le hoe re tam’ iereo: Ia ama’ areo naho tafajoroboñ’ an-kadaha ao ty birì’e ndra ty añombe’e, ro tsy hañakatse aze aniany ami’ty andro Sabata?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?”

6Aa le tampets’ eñoeño iereo amy hoe zay.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Ie nirendre’e o nambarañe nifatrifatry hitsotsèfotse aolo eio, le nirazañe’e ty hoe:When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8Naho eo ty mañambara azo homb’ añ’enga vao añe, ko mitsoretak’ aolo ey, ke ampihovae’e ty aman-kasy mandikoatse azo;“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.

9ie amy zay, ho saontsie’ i nampihova anahareo roey ty hoe: Ampiambesaro t’indaty toy, le an-tsalatse ty hinankanankaña’o mb’ am-boho ao.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.

10Aa naho ambaràñe, miambesara amo èpakeo, ie avy i nitaoñe azoy, le hanoa’e ty hoe: O rañetse, mionjona mb’aolo ey; le hanan-kasin-drehe añatrefa’ o miharo fiambesatse mikama ama’oo.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.

11Harèke ty mitrotroaboke, vaho haonjoñe ty mirèke.For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Hoe ka re amy nañambara azey: Ie mañalankañe fikama antoandro ndra hariva, ko mikanjy o rañe’oo, ndra o roahalahi’oo, ndra o longo’oo, ndra o mpañaleale marine azoo, tsy mone hambara’ iereo ka, le ho vinale i azoy.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.

13F’ ihe manao takataka, koiho o rarakeo, o komboo, o kepekeo vaho o goao.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Le ho soatata irehe amy t’ie tsy hahavale. Hondroheñe ami’ty fivañon-ko velo’ o vantañeo i azoy.and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Ie nahajanjiñe izay ty niambesatse nitrao-pikama ama’e le hoe ty asa’e ama’e: Soatata ze hikama amy Fifehean’ Añaharey.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.”

16Le hoe ty natoi’e: Teo t’indaty nañalankañe sabadidake naho nikoike maro,But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17ie tendreke i sabadidakey le nampihitrife’e mpitoroñe hanao ty hoe amo nañambarà’eo: Antao fa hene hinalankañe.When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Fe, songa nihalaly fihankañañe. Hoe ty valoha’e: Fa nivily tane iraho le tsi-mete tsy homb’eo hañente aze, aa le mihalaly t’ie hitotse ama’o hey.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.’

19Hoe ka ty raike: Nikalo katràka folo iraho le hihitrike hibiribiry iareo. Iantofo koahe o halalikoo.Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Hoe ka ty raike: Nañenga-vao iraho, le tsy eo ty hombako mb’eo.Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21Aa le nimpoly i mpitoroñey vaho hene natalili’e amy talè’ey. Viñetse amy zao i talen’ anjombay le hoe ty asa’e amy mpitoroñey: Masikà, akia mb’an-damoke mb’eo naho mb’ añ’ oloñolo’ o tanàñeo mb’eo le ampihovao mb’etoa o rarakeo, o kepekeo, o feio vaho o komboo.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.’

22Le hoe i mpitoroñey: O Rañandria, kila heneke i nandilia’oy, fa mbe malalake.‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Le hoe i beiy amy mpitoro’ey: Akia mb’an-dalañe mb’eo, naho mb’amo lalan-tsilekeo vaho fonga aziro himoake hahàtseke ty trañoko.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.

24Taroñeko te ndra raik’ am’ ondaty nikoihekoo tsy hitsòpek’ amo ahandrokoo.For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Havorontsan-dahialeñe ty nindre fañavelo am’ Iesoà. Ie nitolike, le nanoa’e ty hoe:Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26Naho eo ty miheo amako fa tsy mahafary rae naho rene naho valy naho anake naho rahalahy naho rahavave, eka, toe ty fiai’e, le tsy mete ho mpiamako.“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.

27Tsy noko ho mpiamako ka ze tsy mitarazo ty hatae ajale’e naho manonjohy ahy.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28Aa vaho ia ama’ areo, naho mañoreñe fitalakesañ’ abo, ro tsy hitoboke hey hañereñere ty ho vili’e, hahaoniñe ke ho fonitse,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?

29ke, ie napeta’e o mananta’eo naho tsy nahafonitse, le ho kizahe’ ze hisamba,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30ami’ty hoe: Namototse nañoreñe indatiy fe tsy nahafonitse.saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31Ia ka ty mpanjaka, hialy ami’ty mpanjaka hafa, ro tsy hitoboke hey hisafiry, hera, ami’ty rai-ale re ro haharebake ty aman-droe-ale?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?

32Aa naho tsie, ie mbe añe ro hañitrifeñe ty hipay filongoañe ama’e.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Aa le tsy lefe ho mpiamako ka t’ie tsy songa mahafoe ze hene fanaña’e.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34Soa o sirao; f’ie nàmoñe, inon-ka ty hahareizan-tave aze?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Tsy mañeva o taneo ndra i zolokey izay, fa hariañe avao. Ze aman-dravembia hijanjiñe, Mijanjiña.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.”
