Luke 14 (WBI) · Opened

1lulyahumile ikighono ikya Sabati. yeiluta kukaja ja jumo juno aale n'gooyo ghwa Vafalisayi kulia un'kate, vope vakale vivaanda pipi na pipi.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2pavulongolo pa mwene pwealyale umuunhu juno alyale ni nhaamu ja kufimba.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3uYesu akavaposia avaagula ndaghilo isa vayahudi na vafarisayi. “ndaani, lunono kusosia umuunhu pakighono kya Sabaati, asi vuli?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4neke avene vakava kimie, pe, uYesu akan'koola. akan'sosia na pikun'tavula alutaghe.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5ghwope akavavuula akati,” ghweveni mukipugha kiinu juno ali nu mwana nambe ing'ombe jingaghwilile muliina ku kighono kya Sabati naikujisuuvula ng'hani ng'hani?”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?”

6aveene valyale vasila ngufu isakwamula ghano ghano vavaposisie.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7un'siki ghuno uYesu alyakagwile kwiti vala vano valyaghogholilue kwiti vasalwile ifitengo vwoghopua. avavula ikihwani akati, “When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8ye mughongolua nu muunhu uya vutolani, nungikalaghe mufitengo fya vavaha. ulwakuva nukagwile kuti,“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.

9pano aghongolilue umuunhu juno ghwe mwoghopua kyongo kukila uve. un'siki ghughuo umuunhu juno avaghongolileThen 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.

10neke uve ungaghongolue, usalulaghe uvukalo vwa kuvusililo, kuvaanga neke kyande ikwiisa juno akungongolile ghwemwene atisaghe uve manyani, kila ghukale kuvulongolo. apuo ghuuva mwoghopua ku vano valipalikimo nuuve pamesa.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.

11ulwakuva juno ikughinia uNguluve alyamwisia, juno ikujisia ghwe ighinisivua.For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Yesu kange akam'bula umuunhu juno umughongolile, 'pano ghukumpela ikyakulia kya pamwisi nambe ikya pakivwilile, ulekaghe pighongola avamanyani vaako nambe avanyalukolo vaako, nambe avanyakisina vaako, nambe avabading'hani vaako avamofu neke kwiiti avene valeke pikukughongola uve uhombe.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.

13neke lino pano ghuvomba ikikulukulu, vaghongolaghe avamofu, avalema, na vavoofu,But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14najuve ghufunyua, ulwakuva naviwesia kuhomba. ulwakuva ghuhombua muvusyukua vwa vanya kyang'haani.and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15un'siki huno jumonga mu vala vano vakikalile pamesa palikimo nu Yesu ati apulike aghuo, ghwope akavavula akati,” afunyilue jula juno ilia un'kate mu vutwa vwa Nguluve”.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.”

16neke uYesu akavavula akati,” umuunhu jumonga akavombile ikikulukulu ikikome, akaghongola avaanhu vinga,But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17un'siki ghuno ikikulukulu kifikile, akansung'ile um'bombi ghwake kukuvavula vano avaghongolilue, 'mwise, ulwakuva ifinu fyoni fivikilue tayaleWhen it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18vooni vakatengula kukunsuuma avasungukile ughwa kwanda akati 'nighulile umughunda nilonda nilute nikaghulole. sivuo usaghile,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.’

19ghwope ujunga akati, 'nighulile ing'ombe ihaano najune nilute kughela. sivuo usaghile.Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20na ju muunhu ujunge akati, 'nihumile pitoola un'dala pe lino naniwesia pikwisa.Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21um'bombi akagomoka na kukum'bula um'baha ghwake aghuo. unyanyumba jula akakalile akam'bula um'bombi ghwake,' luta ng'hani ng'hani mumpulo na mufisila fino filuta mufikaaja fya vaanhu ukavalete apa avakotofu, avalema. vano navilola na vabofu”.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.’

22um'bombi ghwake akati, ntwa aghuo ghano unilaghisie ghavombike, nambe lino ikyakulia kisighiile.‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23untwa akam'bula um'bombi akati, luta kusila ijansevo na mufisila fino filuta mumakaaja gha vaanhu ukavapelepesie avaanhu vingile neke inyumba jango jimeme.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.

24ulwakuva nikuvavula, mu vala vano vaghongolilue ulwa kwanda nakwale juno ilivonja ikikulukulu kyango.For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25lino ulukong'ano ulukume valyale viluta naghwo. ghwope akadyetuka akavavula kuuti,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26ndeve umuunhu ikwisa kulyune ghwope naikunkalalila ubaba ghwa ghwake, ungiina ghwake, avaanha vaake, avanyalukolo vaake avaghosi na vadala Ena, na vu vwumi vwake kange navuwesia kuva vavulanisivua vango.“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.

27umuunhu nave naitoola ikikovekano kyake na kukwisa kunsana jango naiwesia kuva m'bulanisivua ghwango.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28ulwakuva ghwe veni mu lyumue, juno ilonda kujenga kujenga aikela kutengula kiisatala iling'hanie taasi alole indalama neke alole kukughenia aghuo.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?

29nave naiovomba aghuo neke kyande ijenga uvwalo angakunue pimalisia. vooni vano vilola vitengula piseka,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30vitisagha, umuunhu uju akatengwile kujenga, akunilue kumalikisia.saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31neke ghwe Ntwa muki, jno ilonda kuluta kutovana nu Ntwa ujunge mu vwiite, juno naikukala paasi taasi neke asaghe nave akwiline kutovana, palikimo na vaanhu imbilima kijigho kimo kutovana nu junge juno ikwisa kwa mwene na vaanhu imbilima fijigho fivili?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?

32ndeve evuo ililugu lya vange pano lijighe lilikuvutali, likunsung'a untwa kusuuma ulwiho lya lutengano.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33kwekuti lino, juno nailonda kukufleka fyooni fino alinafyo. nangawesie kuva m'bulanisivua ghwango.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34umwinyo nnono, neke nave ghunangike ghuvombela kiki neke ghuve mwinyo kange?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35naghuva mwinyo ghwa kulunga nambe kuva mbolela. kange kutaghua kuvutali. umwene unya mbughulutu aghakupulika na apulikaghe”.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.”
