Luke 14 (ZAJP) · Opened

1Zua dimwe da Mhumulo Yesu kachola kuja mandia kung'anda ya mkulu imwe wa Mafalisayo, wanhu wakala womulola goya.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Haulongozi wake kukala na munhu yali na utamu wa kuvuha lukuli.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Yesu kawauza wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa na Mafalisayo, yolonga, “Malagizo getu gotutogoza kuhonya Mdizua da Mhumulo, ama gotugomesa?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Ila hewo hawalongile kinhu chochose. Yesu kamgoga ija imunhu kamuhonya, abaho, kamuleka yachole na zake.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Abaho, kawalongela, “Yalihi mmwanza wenu mwanage ama ng'ombe wake yehengila mdisima, yondayaleke kumulava mbwisa Mdizua da Mhumulo?”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?”

6Ila hewo wanyamala.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Yesu kawona avija wahenza wayagwe viwokala wosagula ivigoda va haulongozi, avo kawalongela wanhu wose hala dino,When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“Munhu yahakugoneka halusona lwa zengele, sambiukale m'vigoda va haulongozi. Ihalawila kagonekigwa munhu yali na twaga kubanza gweye yeheza,“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.

9na mwenekae wenu, yawagoneke gweye na heyo, kokwiza na kukulongela, ‘Mnegele ino yakale hano.’ Avo vivo vondausegele kuno ukona kinyala uikunyate uchola kukala kuchugu.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 uhagonekigwa hanhu, genda ukakale kigoda cha kuchugu, avo mwenekae wenu kokwiza hauli na kulonga, ‘Izo kuno kuulongozi, mbwigaangu, ukale hanhu hanogile.’ Dino dokugwaa kituno hameso ga wahenza wose.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.

11Kwavija munhu yoyose yokiituniza mwenyego kobwezwa hasi, na ayo yoibweza hasi mwenyego kotunizwa.”For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Abaho, Yesu kamulongela mwenekae wake, “Mana uwagomela wanhu mandia ga imisi ama mandia ga ichungulo, sambiuwagoneke wambwiga zako ama wandugu zako ama wanhu wa lukolo lwako ama wanhu wa habehi yako wali wagoli, kwavija na hewo kwiza wokugoneka, mkutenda vino kolihigwa gaja gautendile.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.

13Uhatenda mandia ga lusona, wagoneke wakumbulu, mbetembete, walemale ivipindi, na vimbugumbugu,But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14na gweye komotezwa kwavija hewo hawadaha kukuliha. Ila Mulungu kokuliha kuna idizua da kuzusigwa kwa wanhu walibule uzenzeleganye.”and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Imwe wa wanhu wakalile na heyo hameza, kagahulika gaja, kamulongela Yesu, “Kamota ng'hani munhu ayo yondayaje kulusona Muundewa wa Mulungu!”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.”

16Yesu kamulongela, “Kukala na munhu imwe yatendile lusona lukulu ng'hani, abaho, kawagoneka wanhu bwando.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Kipigiti cha kuja vikivikile, kamulagiza nyakadala wake yakawalongele wahenza zake, ‘Izoni, vinhu vose visasaligwa vimala!’When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Ila kila munhu kasonga kulava uyalazi wake, waichanduso kamulongela ija inyakadala, ‘Nigula mgunda avo nolondigwa nikaulole, chonde togola uyalazi wangu.’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.’

19Waikabili kalonga, ‘Nigula ng'ombe longo dimwe wa kulimila, avo nochola kuwageza, chonde ndeka nyhole.’Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Iyagwe kalonga, ‘Nisola mtwanzi sambi baha, avo sidaha kwiza.’Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21“Ija inyakadala kabwela, kamsimulila mbuli zose mkulu wake. Ija imkulu kagevuzika ng'hani avo kamulongela nyakadala wake, ‘Hima, genda mzinzila ng'hulu na ndodo za mkiwambo, ukawagale wakumbulu, mbetembete, vimbugumbugu, na walemale.’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.’

22Ija inyakadala kamulongela, ‘Mkulu, gaja gose gaulagize gatendigwa, ila hana nafasi isigala.’‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Avo mkulu ija kamulongela nyakadala wake, ‘Genda m'balabala ng'hulu na ndodo za muisi ukawashulutize wanhu wose weze kwingila giladi ng'anda yangu imeme.’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.

24Nowalongela mweye mose kamba, ‘Waja wagonekigwe haichanduso, haduhu hata imwe yondayalanze vakuja vangu!’ ”For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Zua dimwe dale kulu da wanhu dikala diilongoza na Yesu, kahinduka kawalongela,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26“Munhu yoyose yokwiza kumwangu, na kuno koleka kuninogela nie kubanza tataake na mamaake, na mtwanzi wake, na wanage, na wandugu zake na lumbu zake na hata ugima wake mwenyego, hadaha kuwa mwanahina wangu.“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.

27Munhu yoyose yoleka kupapa msalaba wake na kung'holeleza hadaha kuwa mwanahina wangu.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28“Vino yalihi mmwanza wenu yahalonda kuzenga ulingo, yondayaleke kukala hasi tanhu, yalole kamba kana hela za kwishilizila sang'hano ija?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?

29Kamba hatendile vino, yahamambukiza umsingi na kuhumwa kumambukiza, wanhu wondawone gaja galawilile womseka,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30wolonga, ‘Munhu ino kasonga kuzenga ila hadahile kwishilizila isang'hano.’saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31“Ama mndewa yalihi yochola kugomba na mndewa iyagwe, yoleka tanhu kukala na kugelegeza kamba heyo na asikali zake alufu longo dimwe kodaha kugomba na mndewa ija yokwiza kugomba na heyo yali na asikali alufu malongo mabili?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?

32Kamba ihawa hadaha, kowagala wasenga wakaiting'hane na ija imndewa iyagwe, wakamgwile mavindi kulonda tindiwalo kipigiti yang'hali kutali.”And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Yesu kamambukiza, “Vivija haduhu yoyose mmwanza wenu yodaha kuwa mwanahina wangu kamba halekile vinhu vake vose vayalinavo.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34“Munyu unoga, ila uhagiza kilandu chake, haduhu nzila iyagwe ya kuutenda unoge kabili.Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Haunoga kinhu, kwikigwa mmigunda ama kutibulizwa na mhugutu, ila wanhu wowasa kunze. Yali na magwiti na yahulike!”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.”
