Luke 14 (YMP) · Opened

1Sabat te me Yisu hê heyang nôm îmô Palisi ning anômbêng te ya melak me loho elav long manjeng vo inda.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Me anô te liŋkôpik hithing kambom be hîmô bidong oyang vo Yisu.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Me Yisu henang ik Palisi lêk ŋa lêk auk ethak ambô balambung ling nena, “Hîtôm aômbong ŋa lêk kômbôk mavî êndêng Sabat mesa dô?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Metom loho bonong yom. Êng me hiwa anô kômbôk êng be hepesang inda hivutak mavî me hetak be hê.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Me Yisu henang ethak loho nena, “Môlô ning sêik te mena bokmaŋkao te ma hêv yak îlôk lovang êndêng Sabat me tem môlô nu ketheng vo ondandi imbutak yêing mesa mî?”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?”

6Metom loho mî hîtôm enang ambô êng viyang amî.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Yisu hêyê avîlanô êlêm vo injang nôm me loho ê îlôk îmô ŋa bêŋbêng ining long thak îmô yom. Êng me yêni henang ambô dôhô te hêndêng loho nena,When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“Anô te heŋgambôm nôm hiwa avî be helam ong me dô nundôk ômô ŋa bêŋbêng ining long andô. Endekeme loho bôk îtôk long êng yôv vo anô lêk athêng bêng te hîvô ethak vo ong.“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.

9Me wakma nôm ya alang hêyô me tem nenang ethak ong nena, ‘Ong vê vo ôpiti tem nimbua yong long.’ Êng me tem ong moma kambom be nundôk ômô ŋa athêng mî ining long.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.

10Bêng be anô te helam ong be hô vo noŋgwang nôm, êng me nômô vindôm anông. Hovong bêng me nôm alang tem nêlêm enang nena, ‘Aiyang, nôlêm ômô imbing ŋa bêŋbêng.’ Yêni da hevong bêng me tem numbua athêng bêng injêk ŋa nômbêng atu be êlêm eyang nôm êng maleŋing.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.

11Anô te hêv ya athêng ling me Wapômbêng tem netaving ôpêng. Metom anô te hetaving i hele be yaôna me Wapômbêng tem nêŋgêv ya athêng ling.”For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Me Yisu henang ethak melak ya alang nena, “Hovong vo nôpôpêk nôm bêng me dô nondam yong avîlanô môlôô lêk yong lêkma me avîlanô lêk valuseleng bêng yom andô. Hovong bêng me yôvêm ketem endam ong be nu loho ning melak me tem êŋgêv yong nôm viyang bêng yom.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.

13Metom waklavông hôpôpêk nôm bêng, êng me nondam ŋa siv lêk ŋa baheŋing lo veŋing kambom lêk ŋa imuving me ŋa maleŋing pusip.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Ŋa takatu be mî hîtôm êŋgêv yong nôm viyang amî. Êng me tem mavî vo ong, vômbê nena heveng yam me Wapômbêng tem nêŋgêv yong nôm êng viyang êndêng waklavông atu be avîlanô thêthôp iviyô hethak loŋbô hêk ŋama.”and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Anô te atu be heyang nôm hîmô hiving Yisu helaŋô ambô êng me henang ethak Yisu nena, “Mavî vo avîlanô takatu be tem injang nôm bêng îmô Wapômbêng ya lêkliŋyak bêng kapô.”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.”

16Me Yisu henang viyang nena, “Anô te hevong ya nôm bêng te be hêv ya anô ku te be hiwa ambô hê be vo avîlanô bêng anông.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Wakma ôpêng epesang nôm yôv me hêv ya anô ku atu be hê hethak loŋbô hêndêng avîlanô takatu be bôk hêv ambô yôv vo nenang ethak loho nena, ‘Môlôlêm. Lêk yoô pesang nômkama sapêng yôv.’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“Metom avîlanô takêng mî esopa ya ambô amî. Be ditu anô te henang nena, ‘Lêk ya hêv kukapô bôte vuli yôv be tem yana vo yaŋga. Alitakna, ku êng evalong ya long be ditu hîtôm notak ya?’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.’

19“Me anô yang henang nena, ‘Lêk ya hêv bokmaŋkao lauming vuli vo embong yînîng ku be tem yana vo ya yek loho vo yaŋga. Alitakna, ku êng evalong ya long be ditu hîtôm notak ya?’Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20“Me anô yang henang nena, ‘Lêk ya hauwa avî lêkmuk be mî hîtôm ya thôk amî.’Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21“Yôv me anô ku hiwa ambô takêng be hê vo ya anômbêng. Me melak ya alang la maning kambom be henang ethak ôpêng nena, ‘Nu ketheng oyang êndêng melak lông ya loŋdaŋlê bêng lêk loŋdaŋlê yaônena sapêng me numbua ŋa siv lêk ŋa imuving lêk ŋa baheŋing lo veŋing kambom lêk ŋa maleŋing pusip be nôlêm yînîng melak kapô.’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.’

22“Yôv me anô ku êng hîvô lêm me henang nena, ‘Anômbêng, lêk ya havong hîtôm honang, metom melak mî putup amî denang.’‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23“Me anômbêng enang ethak anô ku êng nena, ‘Notak melak lông me nu loŋdaŋlê bêng lêk loŋdaŋlê yaô sapêng be hôyê avîlanô me nonang lêklokwang nena loho îmbô thak be êlêm. Ya leng hiving yînîng melak putup anông.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.

24Ya hanang ethak môlô nena ŋa takatu be bôk ya halam loho yôv metom mî elaŋô yînîng ambô be esopa amî, loho mî hîtôm injang yînîng nôm doke amî me mî anông.’ ”For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Avîlanô bêng anông eveng hiving Yisu. Be ditu hik i lîlîng me henang ethak loho nena,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26“Anô te hevong vo nesopa ya, metom mî la hiving ya îvô hethak vo lambô lo talêmbô me yanavî lêk nali me viyaŋi lêk livi me ya lêkmala hiving amî, yêni mî hîtôm nîmô îtôm yînîng anô ya handông te amî.“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.

27Me ôpatu be mî hiwa ya alovalasing be hesopa ya amî, yêni mî hîtôm nîmô îtôm yînîng anô ya handông te amî.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28“Môlô ning anô te la hiving nendav melak dêim bêng te, êng me tem nîmô be laŋgêv katô êm nena hîtôm nendav melak êng be niŋgik thing mesa mî.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?

29Me mî la hêv bêng amî me tem nendav landîng yom me mî hîtôm niŋgik thing amî. Me avîlanô sapêng tem injê be emalîk ethak yêniOtherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30be tem enang nena, ‘Helav landîng yom me mî hîtôm niŋgik melak thing amî!’saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31“Me king te la hêv nembong vovak imbing king yang, êng me tem nîmô be laŋgêv katô êm, vômbê nena ya ŋa vovak hîtôm 10,000 yom be hîtôm niŋgik vovak imbing king yang atu be ya ŋa vovak îtôm 20,000 mesa mî.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?

32Me heyala nena yêni mî hîtôm amî, êng me tem nêŋgêv ambô ni vo king yang atu be hîmô dêim denang vo thêi pesang ambô vo vovak dô.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33“Me bêng yom, môlô te mî hele dôm lîlîng êndêng ya nômkama sapêng amî, êng me ôpêng mî hîtôm nîmô îtôm yînîng anô ya handông te amî.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34“Mamik me nôm vathing mavî. Metom wakma thilimbung be ya vathing hêv yak, êng me tem aômbong bisête vo vathing ethak loŋbô? Mî anông.Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Bêng be ya ku lêk mî be dô me okaliv ini. “Bêng yom me môlô ŋa lêk liŋdong me ondaŋô ambô tiêng katôyang!”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.”
