12Jesũ agĩcooka akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wamwĩtĩte atĩrĩ, “Waruga iruga rĩa mũthenya kana rĩa hwaĩ-inĩ-rĩ, ndũgetage o arata aku kana ariũ a thoguo, kana andũ anyu, o na kana andũ arĩa atongu a itũũra rĩanyu; ũngĩka ũguo-rĩ, nao nĩmagagwĩta na nĩ ũndũ ũcio makũrĩhe ũguo ũmekĩte. 1314:13 Luk 14:21No hĩndĩ ĩrĩa waruga iruga ĩtaga athĩĩni, na cionje, na ithua, na atumumu, 1414:14 Atũm 24:15nawe nĩũkarathimwo. O na gũtuĩka matingĩhota gũkũrĩha, nĩũkarĩhwo hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ arĩa athingu makaariũkio.”
Ngerekano ya Iruga Inene
1514:15 Kũg 19:9; Math 3:2Na rĩrĩa mũndũ ũmwe wa arĩa maikarĩte metha-inĩ hamwe nake aiguire ũguo, akĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkaarĩa irio iruga-inĩ rĩa ũthamaki wa Ngai.”
16Nake Jesũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũmwe nĩahaarĩirie iruga inene na agĩĩta ageni aingĩ. 17Nacio thaa cia kũrĩa ciakinya, agĩtũma ndungata yake ĩkeere andũ arĩa meetĩtwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkai, nĩgũkorwo maũndũ mothe nĩmahaarĩrie.’
18“Nao othe, o mũndũ akĩambĩrĩria kũheana ciĩgwatio. Wa mbere akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘No hĩndĩ ndĩragũrire mũgũnda na no nginya thiĩ ngawone. Thiĩ ũmwĩre andekere.’
19“Ũrĩa ũngĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘No hĩndĩ ndĩragũrire ndegwa ikũmi cia kũrĩma, na nĩndĩrathiĩ gũcigeria. Thiĩ ũmwĩre andekere.’
20“Nake ũngĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘No hĩndĩ ndĩrahikanirie, nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndiihota gũũka.’
2114:21 Luk 14:13“Ndungata ĩyo ĩgĩthiĩ, ĩkĩmenyithia mwathi wayo ũhoro ũcio. Hĩndĩ ĩyo mwene mũciĩ akĩrakara na agĩatha ndungata ĩyo akĩmĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Umagara narua ũthiĩ njĩra-inĩ iria nene, o na tũcĩra-inĩ twa itũũra, ũrehe athĩĩni, na cionje, na arĩa atumumu, o na ithua.’
22“Nayo ndungata ĩyo ĩkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathi wakwa, ũrĩa wathanire nĩwĩkĩtwo, na no hatigaire handũ.’
23“Hĩndĩ ĩyo Mwathi wayo akĩĩra ndungata ĩyo atĩrĩ, ‘Umagara ũthiĩ rĩu njĩra-inĩ na ndeere-inĩ cia mĩgũnda, ũkaringĩrĩrie andũ moke nĩgeetha nyũmba yakwa ĩiyũre. 2414:24 Math 21:43; Atũm 13:46Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa acio metĩtwo ũgaacama iruga rĩakwa.’ ”

1And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him. 2And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. 3And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? 4And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go; 5And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day? 6And they could not answer him again to these things.
7¶ And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, 8When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; 9And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. 10But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. 11For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
12¶ Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. 13But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 14And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
15¶ And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 16Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 18And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 20And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 21So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 23And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25¶ And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, 26If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 31Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? 32Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. 33So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34¶ Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? 35It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
