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.

¹Hangkani nto'u Eo Sabat, Yesus hilou ngkoni' hi tomi hadua pangkeni to Parisi. Bula-na hi ree, ralelemata-i mpopali' sala' -na.

²And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

²Muu-mule' rata hadua tauna to mohaki' ngkumowu, mowoto witi' pai' pale-na.

³And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

³Yesus mpekune' -ra guru agama pai' to Parisi, na'uli': "Ntuku' atura agama-ta, ma'ala-ta mpaka'uri' topeda' hi Eo Sabat, ba uma-di?"

⁴And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

⁴Guru agama pai' to Parisi toera, oja' -ra mpotompoi' -i. Ngkai ree, Yesus mpojama topeda' toei, napaka'uri' pai' nahubui-i hilou.

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?

⁵Oti toe na'uli' -raka: "Ane rapa' -na ria ana' -ta ba japi-ta monawu' hi rala buwu hi Eo Sabat, ha uma sahu ta'ore' -i tumai, nau' hi eo pepuea' -e?"

⁶And they could not answer him again to these things.

⁶Aga uma hema to daho' mpohono' -i.

⁷And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.

⁷Hi tomi to Parisi toe, Yesus mpohilo ria torata to doko' mohura hi pohuraa karabilaa'. Toe pai' natudui' -ra hante lolita rapa' toi.

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;

⁸Na'uli': "Ane rakio' -ko hilou hi posusaa' poncamokoa, neo' mohura hi pohuraa karabilaa'. Meka' ba ria-di mpai' to rakio' to meliu karabila' -na ngkai iko.

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.

⁹Tumai mpai' pue' tomi mpo'uli' -koko hewa toi: `Wai' -ki hi'a-hana pohuraa tetu!' Me'ea' -ko mpai' hilou mohura hi kadingkia' -na.

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.

¹⁰Jadi', ane rakio' -ko hilou hi posusaa', agina mohura-ko hi kadingkia' -na, bona pue' tomi mpai' mpo'uli' -koko: `Bale, mai-ta mohura hi pohuraa to lompe' toe mai.' Ane hewa toe, rabila' lau-moko hi mata ntodea.

¹¹For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

¹¹Hawe'ea to mpomolangko nono-ra, Pue' Ala mpodingkihi-ra, pai' hawe'ea to mpakadingki' nono-ra, Pue' Ala mpomolangko-ra."

¹²Then 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.

¹²Oti toe, mololita wo'o-imi Yesus mpololitai pue' tomi. Na'uli': "Ane takio' tauna ngkaralai posusa' -ta, ba ngkoni' mpo'eo ba ngkabengia, neo' mpokio' bale-ta, ompi' -ta, ba topo'ua' rala ngata. Apa' bate rakio' wo'o-ta mpai', alaa-na tehiwili-mi kehi-ta.

¹³But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:

¹³Jadi' ane tababehi posusa', kio' tauna tokabu, tokeru, topungku pai' towero.

¹⁴And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

¹⁴Ane wae pobabehi-ta, Pue' Ala mpogane' -ta mpai', apa' tauna to hewa toe uma mpokulei' mpohiwili kehi-ta. Kehi-ta tetu nahiwili moto mpai' Pue' Ala hi Eo Kiama, nto'u kanapotuwu' -ra nculii' tauna to monoa' hi poncilo-na."

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵Bula-ra ngkoni' toe, hadua torata mpo'epe lolita-na Yesus, pai' na'uli' -ki: "Marasi' tauna to mpokaralai posusa' hi rala Kamagaua' -na Alata'ala."

¹⁶Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

¹⁶Na'uli' Yesus mpo'uli' -ki tauna toei: "Hangkani ria hadua tauna to mpobabehi susa' bohe, pai' mpokio' wori' tauna.

¹⁷And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

¹⁷Sadia-mi omea, nahubui pahawaa' -na hilou mpo'uli' -raka to rakio': `Mai-tamo hilou hi posusaa', apa' sadia-mi omea.'

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.

¹⁸Aga tauna to rakio' toera, motance omea-ra. To lomo' -na mpo'uli': `Lako' me'oli tana' -a, pai' kana hilou ulu kupehiloi. Merapi' ampu-a, uma-a tilou.'

¹⁹And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

¹⁹To hadua-na mpo'uli': `Lako' mpo'oli japi-a lima moko, hilou kuperao mpake' -ra mopajeko'. Merapi' ampu-a, uma-a tilou!'

²⁰And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

²⁰To ntani' -na wo'o mpo'uli': `Aku' lako' oti ncamoko-a. Uma-a bisa tilou.'

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.

²¹"Pahawaa' toei nculii' hilou hi pue' susa' mpowoli' lolita-ra toe. Uma-pi mowo kamoroe-na pue' susa', na'uli' -ki pahawaa' -na: `Pesahui hilou hi karajaa pai' hi porompengaa ohea hi rala ngata. Bawai-ramo tumai tokabu, tokeru, towero, pai' topungku.' Hilou mpu'u-imi-hawo pahawaa' toei mpotuku' hawa' pue' susa'.

²²And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

²²"Karata-na nculii', na'uli' mpo'uli' -ki pue' susa': `Tuama, hawa' -nu kupopomako' -mi, aga ko'ia ihia' tomi-nu, ria-pidi pohuraa.'

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.

²³"Na'uli' pue' susa': `Hilou tena-ko hi ohea bohe pai' ohea to kedi' hi mali ngata, pewuku-ra tauna tumai, bona tomi-ku ihia' hobo'.

²⁴For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.

²⁴Mpu'u ku'uli', ngkai hawe'ea tauna to kukio' toera lou, uma haduaa-ra to mpokoni' ba apa-apa hi posusa' -ku.'"

²⁵And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,

²⁵Wori' tauna mpotuku' Yesus rala pomakoa' -na. Yesus mewili' hi tauna toera pai' na'uli' -raka:

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.

²⁶"Tauna to doko' mpotuku' -a, aga uma meliu pe'ahi' -na hi Aku' ngkai pe'ahi' -na hi tina-na, tuama-na, tobine-na, ana' -na, ompi' -na, ba paiana woto-na moto-mi, uma-i ma'ala jadi' topetuku' -ku.

²⁷And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

²⁷Tauna to jadi' topetuku' -ku kana mpopaha'a kaju parika' -na-- batua-na kana sadia-i mporata kaparia ba paiana rapatehi sabana petuku' -na hi Aku'. Jadi', tauna to uma dota mpopaha'a kaju parika' -na pai' mpotuku' -a, uma-i ma'ala jadi' topetuku' -ku.

²⁸For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

²⁸"Ane ria to doko' mpowangu tomi bohe, napohura-ki ulu mporeke ongkoso' pompowangu-na, ba hono' mpai' doi-na ba uma-di.

²⁹Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

²⁹Apa' ane mpolia' natu'u-mi parawatu-na pai' uma hudu nawangu apa' naka'otii doi-na, hawe'ea tauna to mpohilo mpotawai-i,

³⁰Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

³⁰ra'uli': `Ii, ni'anu-di doko' mpowangu tomi bohe, ntaa' uma-di hono' doi-nae!'

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?

³¹"Wae wo'o, ane hadua magau' to ria tantara-na hampulu' ncobu manga'e hante hadua magau' to ria tantara-na rompulu' ncobu, kana napekiri ncala', ba rakule' mpo'ewa-ra ba uma-di.

³²Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

³²Ane na'inca ka'uma-na mpai' hompe tantara-na, molaa-pidi bali' -na, nahubui-mi suro hilou mpali' kahintuwuaa'."

³³So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

³³Yesus mpokaliliu lolita-na, na'uli': "Wae wo'o koi', ane uma-koi mpobahaka hawe'ea to ria hi koi', uma-koi ma'ala jadi' topetuku' -ku.

³⁴Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

³⁴"Poi', wori' kalaua-na. Aga ane mobali' -mi kapoi' -na alaa-na uma-pi mopoi', napa tena to ma'ala mpakapoi' -i?

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.

³⁵Uma ntoto-pi ria tuju-na, ba raruduhi-ki hinu'a ba rapopai-pai. Agina ratadi lau-imi. Hema-koi to tilingaa, pe'epei lompe'!"
