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

¹It happened, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.

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

²Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.

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?"

³Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

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

⁴But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.

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?"

⁵He answered them, “Which of you, if your son TR reads “donkey” instead of “son” or an ox fell into a well, wouldn’t immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”

⁶Aga uma hema to daho' mpohono' -i.

⁶They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.

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

⁷He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them,

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.

⁸ “When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him,

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.

⁹ and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place.

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.

¹⁰ But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.

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

¹¹ For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

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.

¹²He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.

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

¹³ But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind;

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."

¹⁴ and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”

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."

¹⁵When one of those who sat at the table with him heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will feast in the Kingdom of God!”

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

¹⁶But he said to him, “A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people.

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

¹⁷ He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, ‘Come, for everything is ready now.’

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.'

¹⁸ They all as one began to make excuses. “The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please 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!'

¹⁹ “Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go try them out. Please have me excused.’

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

²⁰ “Another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I can’t come.’

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'.

²¹ “That servant came, and told 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 the poor, maimed, blind, and lame.’

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.'

²² “The servant said, ‘Lord, it is done as you commanded, and there is still room.’

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'.

²³ “The lord said to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

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

²⁴ For I tell you that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper.’”

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

²⁵Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them,

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.

²⁶ “If anyone comes to me, and doesn’t disregard or, hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can’t 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.

²⁷ Whoever doesn’t bear his own cross, and come after me, can’t be my disciple.

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

²⁸ For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doesn’t first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

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

²⁹ Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

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

³⁰ saying, ‘This man began to build, and wasn’t able to finish.’

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.

³¹ Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

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

³² Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace.

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.

³³ So therefore whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple.

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

³⁴ Salt is good, but if the salt becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?

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'!"

³⁵ It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
