Luke 14 (ZAK) · Opened

1Orusiku rwo okumuunya, Yeesu akagya kurya ebhyaakurya mumugye gwo omukaangati owumwe wa Abhafarisayo. Na hano yaari mumugye muyo, Abhafarisayo na abhaatu abhaandi bhaari bharamwiisuunza bhukongʼu.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Ne embere waaye hayo, yaariho omuutu owumwe wuno yaari no obhurweeri bhwo okubhiimba omubhiri.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Yeesu akabhuurya Abhafarisayo na abheegya bhe emigiro, “Awe! Emigiro gya Musa giriikirirya kuhorya abhaatu orusiku rwo okumuunya, kasi tutakweenderwa kuhorya?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Nawe, ebho bhakakira. Yeesu akamugwaataku omurweeri wuyo, akamuhorya, akamubhuurira agye yiika.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Niho kweeki Yeesu akabhabhuurya, “Ni weewi gati weenyu, wuno etikiri yaaye hamwe engʼoombe yaaye yaangatubhiiri mukitaaro orusiku rwo okumuunya, yaange kuyiruusyamu kwo okubha ni rusiku rwo okumuunya?”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?”

6Abhaatu bhayo, bhataari na ryo okugaamba.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Yeesu ahaarora kyeego abhagini bhe enyaangi yiyo, bhaari bhakwiitoora ebhituumbi bhye embere bhyo obhusuuku. Niho akabhabhuurira ekireengyo, akabhuga,When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“Hano okuraarikwa mubhweenga, otiikara omweeya gwo omugini wo obhusuuku. Otakora ego, kwo okubha eratura ekabha araarikirwe omugini owuundi kukukira awe.“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 wuno abharaarikiri awe no owuundi hano akuuza arakwiimeererya no okukubhuurira, ‘Omutigire wuno omweeya guyo yiikare.’ Hayo, oraaza kurora eziisoni bhukongʼu, kwo okubha oraswaagibhwa kugya kwiikara kumweeya gwo omuutu wi iyaasi bhukongʼu.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.

10“Kweego, hano oraaraarikwe munyaangi, noogye wiikare kumweeya gwo omuutu wi iyaasi, kwo okubha hano wurya akuraarikiri akuuza, akubhuurire, ‘Omusaani waane, nawuuze embere hano, niho ahazomu bhukongʼu.’ Kweego niigo bharaakusuuke no orabha embere ya abhagini bhoosi.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.

11Omuutu wuyo woosi wuno akwiigega omweene kubha omukuru, Taatabhugya aramwiikya iyaasi. Nawe omuutu wuyo woosi wuno akwiiyiikya, Taatabhugya aramutiirya kubha omukuru.”For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Niho, Yeesu akamubhuurira wurya yamuginihirye, “Hano oraabhakorere abhaatu ebhyaakurya bhya mumwiisi hamwe engoroobha, otabharaarika abhasaani, naabhe bhawamweenyu, naabhe abhahiiri bhaazo, naabhe abhanyaroobho bhaazo, naabhe abhaniibhi bha mumugye gwaazo. Oraakore ego, neebho bhoosi bharakuraarika, na kweego orabha okyooreriibhwe amariho kugarya obhakoreeri.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.

13“Nawe, hano oraabhakorere enyaangi, oraarike abhataka, abharema, amagata na abhahoku.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Niho oraabhone orubhaango, kwo okubha bhayo bhatana ekigiro kyo okukukyoorerya. Nawe, Taatabhugya niwe araakukyoorerye, kwiibhaga ryo okuryoora abhaatu bhe eheene.”and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Omugini owumwe wa bhano bhaari bhiikeeri neewe kwiigari, hano akiigwa amangʼana ga Yeesu, akamubhuurira, “Ano orubhaango, omuutu wowoosi wuno araarye enyaangi mubhutemi bhwa Taatabhugya!”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.”

16Nawe Yeesu akamukyoora, “Yaari ariho omuutu owumwe, wuno yakoriri enyaangi ekuru no okuraarika abhaatu bhaaru.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Hano enyaangi yahikiri, akaragania omugya waaye kubharaarika bhoosi, abhabhuurire, ‘Muuze, ebhigiro bhyoosi bhibheeri!’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“Nawe, abharaarikwa bhoosi bhakabha bharasabha okwaabhirwa. Wo obhutaangi akamubhuurira, ‘Niguriri omuguundu, ndeenderwa ngeende okugurora. Ndakusabha oniabhire.’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“Owuundi akabhuga, ‘Niguriri eziingʼoombe ikumi zyo okurimira, na bhoono nkugya niri kuzisakya, ndakusabha oniabhire.’Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20“No owuundi akabhuga, ‘Niho nakweera omukari, kweego nitakunagya kuuza.’Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21“Omugya wuyo akakyoora, akamubhuurira omukuru waaye gayo goosi. Niho omukuru wuyo akatiinda, akamubhuurira omuhokya waaye, ‘Noogye bhwaangu kunziinzira zya amaahukano na kuhizira hya mumugye guno, obhareete abhataka, abharema, amagata na abhahoku.’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“Kyaamwe, omugya wuyo akakyoora, akamubhuurira, ‘Omukuru, gano ondageenie nigakoriri, naabhe ego omweeya gukyaariho.’‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23“Omukuru akamubhuurira, ‘Ambe! Noogye igutu yo omugye, kuziinzira zo okugya muziiroobho suuhu na mumiguundu, obhakumiirirye abhaatu bhiize bhasikire mumugye gwaane, tee gwiizure.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.

24Nawe, bharya bhoosi bhano naraarikiri kubhutaangi, atariho naabhe owumwe, wuno araroote enyaangi yaane!’ ”For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Yeesu ahaabha aratuniirirwa ne esaango ekuru ya abhaatu. Akiikibhuka, akabhabhuurira,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26“Omuutu wowoosi wuno akuuza owaane atakunagya kubha omwaanamweega waane, eraabhe ataaniseegiri kukira wiise na nina, omukari na abhaana bhaaye, abhahiiri na abhasubhaati bhaaye, naabhe obhuhoru bhwaaye omweene.“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.

27No omuutu wowoosi wuno, akyaari kugega omusaraba gwaaye anituniirire, atakunagya kubha omwaanamweega waane.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28“Tubhuge owumwe weenyu areenda okwoomboka etimu etaambi bhukongʼu. Eheene, atakwoomboka akyaari okwiikara, no okwiiseega obhuguri bhwe ebhigiro bhino aroombokere etimu yiyo? Kwo okukora ego, niho araamenye kubha ane eziimbirya zo okwiisa okumara kwoomboka.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?

29Araatige okukora ego, aranagya akwoomboka obhurusa, nawe hasuuhwiigo atamwe okumariirya etimu. Niho abhahiti bharamuzibhura,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30bharabhuga, ‘Omuutu wuno yataangiri okwoomboka, nawe ataanagirye okurimara eriikiindaasi riyo!’saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31“Niruusye ekireengyo ekiindi. Tubhuge abhatemi bhabhiri bhariibhanura okurwaana. Wo obhutaangi ana abhasirikare ebhikwe ikumi (10,000) ego, owuundi ebhikwe miroongo ebhiri (20,000). Wo obhutaangi atakunagya kugya mwiirwaana bhakyaari kwiikara no okwiiseega kyeego araanagye okurwaana na wuno ana abhasirikare ebhikwe miroongo ebhiri (20,000).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?

32Araarore kubha aratamwa eriihi, arabhatuma abhabhagati bhaaye, bhagye bhwaangu kumutemi owuundi araabhe kure, bhiigwaane.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“Ambe, kweemwe atariho wuno araanagye kubha omwaanamweega waane, kweego akyaari kutiga ebhigiro bhyoosi bhino anabhyo.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34“Omuunyu ni muzomu, nawe guraabhe gusarikiri, gutakubha no obhuzoma bhwo omuunyu kweeki.Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Omuunyu gwe etuubho yino, gutakweenderwa, naabhe kumarobha, naabhe kutuumo yo oruse, niho erataaswa kure. Wa amatwi, yiitegeerere kisi!”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.”
