Luke 14 (ZGAM) · Opened

1Yahumile isikhu iya Sabato, pu avile iluta khu njengo khwa munu yumo aviale imbaha va Mafarisayo kwilya ikhisyesye avene valikhundolela pa wipi.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Lola, pavulongolo pa mwene pale nu munu uviagatanchiwaga nu vufimbe.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3U Yisu avunchi nje khu vamanya ndagilo va Vayahudi na Vamafalisayo, “Lino, lweli ukhuponniya isikhu iya sikhu iya Sabato, lino lweli?”So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Pi avene vakhava mye, pu uYisu akhamwibata, akhaponiya nu khupa uvugatalufu akhavuya khu myave.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5Umwene akhavavula, “Veni umunu khulyumwe uvi ali nu mwana isenga iyiyingile mukhihulu ikya magasi isikhu iya Sabato sakha khwege khuuchi na mbivi?”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?”

6Avene savakhava ne lwakhuunchova khukhuhumya ilijibu khu mbombo yoni.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Usikhi uYisu alumanyile ukhuta vala avilangiwe vave vanchaguliwe alumanyile ukhuta vala avilangiwe vave vanchaguliwe, ifigoda ifya ifidwadiwa akhavavula ikhikhwani, akhavavula,When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8“Usikhi vuvikhuhwilanga khuvutolani, ulekhe ukhutama khuvavaha, ulwakhuva khwale umunu umbaha uvevi khudwada avanu voni.“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.

9Usikhi umunu uviavilangile umwe mwivavili angafikhe, ikhukhuvula uve, hega umunu uyu itama apa, nu ve vuhega khusoni soni, vutengula ukhuluta khutama khu vumalilo.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.

10Pu uve vangakhwilange, luta ukhatame khuvumalilo nu sikhi ugu umunu akhwilangile khululundamano vuinchile akhuvule, gwe higo, injango luta khuvulongolo ukhulutilila, `Pu wiva akhwimikhe khuvolongolo ukhulutilila voni avatamile nu mwene pa mesa.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.

11Ulwakhuva uviikhiyinula ayikhwisiwa, nu vikhwikha ayikhwinuliwa. 'For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12Pu uYisu ambulile umunu uviamwilangile, 'Vuwihumya ikyakhula ikya pamusi na khukhimihe, ulekhe ukwilanga avaninyo nu valukhololwo nakho, avamubadihine vakho, avambadihine vakho na vatayili, ulwakhuva wita vinche vakhwilange nu yuve khukhwupila uluhombo.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.

13Pu lino, w wovuvomba uluhekhelo, uvalondage avalemilwe avaganchu avasavigenda na vasavilola.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14pu uve wiva insayiwa, ulwakhuva savakhakhuhombe. Pu uve ulahombwa khuvunchukhwa uwa nyavulweli.”and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15Usikhi gumo khuvala avatamile pa mesa paniniye nu Yisu avile apulikhe ago, nu mwene akhavavula, “Asayiwe ula uviyakhiva ilya ikhi syesye khu Vutwa wa 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.”

16Pu uYisu akhavavula, “Umunu umo aitesaninche ukhuvikha uluhekhelo uluvakha alundenine avanu avingi.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Vu usikhi ugwa luhekhelo gufikhe, asuhile umbombi va mwene ukhavavule vala avanilangile, `'Mwinchage, ulwakhuva ifinu fyoni fivekhiwe nu khwincha khwilya.When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Voni, vakhatengula ukhudova uvusikhilo. Uvakhwancha akhanjova, 'Imbaha, nigulile ikyalo, niluta khwilola. Nikhukhudova usikhile.'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.’

19Nu yunge akhanchova, negulile isenga incha khulimila niluta khukhugala ndanchilima, nidova uvusyekhilo.'Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Umunu uyunge akhanchova akhata, 'Nilinuwinga saniwesya ukhundakha udala vango mwene sanikhinche.'Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21Umbaha akhavuya khumyave nu khumbula utwa va mwene imbombo incho. Umunu uva vuujenge uwa avipile, akhavavula avambombo va mwene, `'Mulutage munchila ujoni na nduhengo munjengo mukhavalete apa, avaganchu, avalemilwe, avasavilola, nu vavosavigenda.”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.’

22Uvambombo akhanchova, `Itwa, goni aga gagoukhalagile ni malile ukhuvomba lino inafasi payile.'‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Utwa akhambula umbombi, 'Luta munchila nchoni, nchila malekhano na munchila imbaha incha khu visolisoli uvumilinche avanu vigile inyumba yango yidige.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.

24Ulwakhuva nikhuvavula khu vala avilangiwe ukhuhuma khuvutengulilo asikhuli uviyakhiva ivoncha uluhekhelo lwango. 'For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Lino avanyalulundamano uluvaha valutaga pupaninye nu mwene, nu mwene akhavasyetukhila nukhuvavula,Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26'Ingave umunu ikhwincha khulyune, uvisikhugatancha udadaye va mwen, nu vanina va mwene nu dala va mwene, avagosi na vadala- lweli, na mbutamilo wa vene savakhawesya ukhuva vakhongi 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.

27Umunu uvisitola ikhidamili ng'ani khumwene nu khwincha khusana gwa mwene siwesya ukhuva ikhongi vango.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28Pu veni khulyumwe, uviinongwa ukhusimikha unara sakhatame tasi ukhusaga imbalilo ilingi, ikhi inogwa ukhumalana nikyo?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?

29Ulwakhuva, vu avikhile ulwuoto nu khulemwa ukhumala, voni valiwene vitengula ukhukhinela nu benapula,Otherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30valikhunchova, Umunu uyu ategwile ukhusimukha, akhavambula makha aga khumala.'saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31Pu itwa mukhi, anganogwe ukhuluta khutovana nu Ntwa uyunge khwilwa uvisitama pasi nu khusaga ukhulonda ulwidihano, ukhuta lino yuniwesya, paniniye na vanu ava elfukhinchigo ukhutovana nu Ntwa uyunge uvikhwincha khukyanya khu mwene na vanu elfu ishirini(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?

32Upu ingave usikhi sagufikhe, ugwa khipuga ikhinge khili khuvutali, pu visuha undoleli khulonda uvunonu lunonchehencho.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Ulwakhuva uva venchaga mugati mundyiumwe, uvisikhufilekha fyoni, ifyalinafye, siwesya ukhuva ikhongi vango.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34Umwinyo inonu, lino gungave umwinyo guanchinche ukhunoga, wigaha ndakhi ukhuta guve mwinyo?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Gusikhuli nu khuguvombela khulifu na khumbolela, gutagiwa khuvutali. Umwene uviali nu mbulukhutu incha khupulihincha pu apulikhe.”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.”
