Luke 14
1 And it came to pass on the going of Him into a house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread and they themselves were watching Him.
Izuba limwi le Savata Jesu a vayendi muzuvo ya mukulwana wavafalisi kukalya inkonko, miva vaku mulolete.
2 And behold a man certain there was with dropsy before Him.
Mubone, habusu vwa kwe kuvena mukwame yava kulwala butuku bwa chirunta.
3 And answering Jesus spoke to the lawyers and to [the] Pharisees saying; (if *k) Is it lawful on the Sabbath (to heal *N+kO) (or not? *NO)
Jesu ava kumbili vene inzivo ya mulao ni vafalisi chati: Kana iswanelo kuti muntu yo lwala a olwe ku hozwa le Savata kapa ka ku oleki?
4 But they were silent. And having taken hold [of him] He healed him and let [him] go.
Imi vava tuntwele. Jesu ava muondi, ava muhozi, ni ku mulwila kuti ayende.
5 And (answering *k) to them He said; Which of you (a son *N+KO) or an ox into a pit (will collapse, *N+kO) also surely immediately he will pull up him on day the Sabbath?
Cha wamba kuvali, njeni kwenu wina manaswisu kapa ipulu iwilile muchisima le Savata ya sati amu zwise muchisima?
6 And not they were able to reply (to him *k) to these things.
Kana vava oli kuha inkalabo kwezi zintu zonse.
7 He was speaking then to those invited a parable remarking how the first places they were choosing out, saying to them;
Linu Jesu cha lemuha kuti ku vava memetwe vava liketeli kwi kala ku zipula zi sepahala, cha wamba che nguli, ku wamba nati kubali,
8 When you may be invited by anyone to wedding feasts, not may recline in the first place, otherwise otherwise [one] more honorable than you may have been invited by him,
“Ha mu memwa ku mukiti weseso, kanzi mwi kali ku zipula zi sepahala, kuola kuva ni muntu yo memetwe wina mazimo ahita enu.
9 and having come the [one] you and him having invited he will say to you; do give to this one [your] place. and then you will begin with shame the last place to take.
Linu zuna muntu yava mi memi mu vonse ha sika, uwola ku milwila kuti muhe uzu mwi chi baka chenu; Linu che nsoni ka muhinde chipula cha hansi.
10 But when you may be invited, having gone (do recline *N+kO) in the last place, so that when may come the [one] having invited you, (he will say *N+kO) to you; Friend, do come up higher. Then will be to you glory before (all *NO) those reclining [with] you.
Linu ha mu memwa muyende ukekale ha chabaka cha hansi nji kuti zuna wa mi mema ha sika mwati kwenu mukwangu, zimane uzwe mu chaba cha hansi uke kale mu chabaka heulu.'
11 For everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and the [one] humbling himself will be exalted.
Linu kamu kutekehe ha vusu vwa vantu vonse vekele hentafule nanwe. Yense muntu uli nuneka kabozwe mwi sule.”
12 He was saying then also to the [one] having invited Him; When you may make a dinner or a supper, not do call the friends of you nor [call] the brothers of you nor [call] the relatives of you nor [call] neighbours rich otherwise otherwise also they themselves may invite in return you and it may become recompense to you.
Jesu chata ku mukweme ya va mumemi kuzilyo za musihali kapa za chitengu, sanzi mu memi va likani niva kwenu, kapa muntu muhumanehi imu vambene naye chinanga amimeme naye, cho kuti kamulihiwe.
13 But when a feast you may make do call [the] poor, [the] crippled, [the] lame, [the] blind.
Kono hova ni zilyo zi chitengu umeme vashebete, zihole, vasayendi ni vasaboni,
14 and blessed you will be, because nothing they have to repay you; It will be recompensed for to you in the resurrection of the righteous.
Imi mo fuyolwe, kakuti kavaoli kuku vozekeza chimwi kapa kukuliha. Mukuti, molihiwe kenako yoku vaka kuva shiyeme.”
15 Having heard then one of those reclining with [Him] these things he said to Him; Blessed [is he] (who *N+kO) will eat (bread *NK+o) in the kingdom of God.
Imi zumwi yabekele ni Jesu hentafule hazuwa zonse izi zintu abati kuti ufuyolwete yete nalya inkoko mu mubuso we Reeza!”
16 But He said to him; A man certain (was preparing *N+kO) a supper great and invited many;
Imi Jesu chata kuti zinwi mukwame, “Ava lukisi zilyo ze chitengu ni kumema bantu bangi.
17 And he sent the servant of him at the hour of the supper to say to those invited; do come, for now ready [it] is (all things. *KO)
Imi zilyo hazi lukiswa, avatumi zumwi kuvahikana vakwe kukasumpa bonse vamemetwe, 'Mwize, kakuli zonse zintu chiza shiama.
18 And began with one [voice] all to excuse themselves. The first said to him; A field I have bought and I have need (going out *N+kO) (and *k) to see it; I beg of you, do hold me excused.
Bonse chi vatanga kuha mavaka. Wentazi avati kwali, niva uli iwa, nisaka kuyenda nika libona, ni ondele.
19 And another said; Yoke of oxen I have bought five and I am going to prove them; I beg of you do hold me excused.
Linu zumwi naye chata kuti niva uli mapulu atenda ikumi ni saka ku ka atapisa, ni ondele.
20 And another said; A wife I have married and because of this not I am able to come.
Linu zumwi naye chata kuti, 'nji ni sesa hanu, kani oli kusiya va mwihetu, ni ondele kani oli kwiza.'
21 And having come the servant (that *k) reported to the master of him these things. Then having become angry the master of the house said to the servant of him; do go out soon into the streets and lanes of the city, and the poor and crippled and blind and lame do bring in here.
Muhikana ava ka voli kwa nfumwe kwiza kumu wambila zintu zonse. Linu nfumwakwe cha venga ni ku wamba kuti azwe ayende mu ma kululu onse e tolopo ni kuka leta va shebete, zihole, va sayendi mane navana va saboni,
22 And said the servant; Sir, it has been done (as *N+kO) you did command, and still room there is.
Muhikana chati, nfumwangu, zova ni tumi zi petehele linu kusina chivaka cingi.'
23 And said the master to the servant; do go out into the highways and hedges and do compel [them] to come in so that may be filled of mine the house.
Nfumwakwe chati ku muhikana wakwe, 'Yende mu makulu makando onse uka sumpe vonse cho kuti inzuvo yangu izule.
24 I say for to you that not [one] of the men of those which invited will taste my supper (many for are called few but chosen. *O)
Linu niti kwako, kakwina kwavo vakwame vava memetwe yete na sole zilyo zangu zi chitengu.'”
25 Were going with then Him crowds great. and having turned He said to them;
Linu chisi chi va ku yenda naye, cha chevuka, chati ku vali,
26 If anyone comes to Me and not he hates the father (of himself *NK+o) and the mother and the wife and the children and the brothers and the sisters yes (and *N+kO) even the life his own not he is able to be My disciple.
“Yense wiza kwangu yasa toyete vesi, vanyina, vamihyabwe, vana, vamukulwe ni va nchizye - initi, ni vu halo vwakwe, ka woli ku va mulutwana wangu.
27 (and *ko) Whoever not carries the cross (of himself *NK+o) and comes after Me, not is able to be My disciple.
Yense ya sa woli ku kulilka muziyo wakwe ni kwiza kwa ngu ka woli ku vuba mulutwana wangu.
28 Which for of you (who *o) is desiring a tower to build not first he having sat down he counts the cost whether he has (for *N+kO) [its] completion?
Njeni kwenu, yo lakaza ku zaka itawala, ya sa oli kwikala hansi ni ku hupula kapa, wina zi swanela ku mana ku mana muzako wa kwe.
29 Thus otherwise otherwise [when] laying of it a foundation and not being able to finish all those seeing [it] may begin him to mock
Hamwi, chatanga kete a wole ku mana, vonse vete ni vavone kava tange kumu somoza, ni vati,
30 saying that This man began to build and not he was able to finish.
'Uzu mukwame ava tangite ku zaka linu kana ava woli ku mani.'
31 Or what king proceeding with another king to engage in war not having sat down first (will take counsel *N+kO) whether able he is with ten thousand (to meet *N+kO) the [one] with twenty thousand coming against him?
Simwine nzi, yoya ku kulwa ni simwine zu mwi, ya sati ne kale hansi kapa ku kumbila intuso ku vamwi, ku vona kapa u wola kuya ku nkondo ni va kwame va likana zikiti zina ikumi, ni zumwi simwene yo keza ni mpi ina zikiti zina makumi ovele?
32 lest then except indeed still of him far off being an embassy having sent he asks for peace.
Linu heva ka njo vulyo, linu impi imwi ni sina kule, ka tumine muzimani zumwi ku ka ziminzana zikozo.
33 So therefore every one of you who not does give up all his own possessions, not is able to be My disciple.
Cho kuti, linu, yense kwenu ya siyi zonse za kwate kete na wole kuva mulutwana ngu.
34 Good [is] (therefore *NO) the salt; if however (even *no) the salt shall become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?
Mwinyo mu lotu, linu heva mwinyo ha u sampuka, ka u lungwe vule?
35 Neither [is it] for soil nor for manure fit is it; out they cast it. The [one] having ears to hear he should hear.
Linu ka kwina intuso kwi yevu nanga mu sutelo u lindikitwe. Ka u soiwa vulyo. Yense wina matwi aku zuwa, azuwe.”
