Luka 19
1 U Yesu aewingie nukukela mukate a Yeriko.
So He entered Jericho and was passing through the town.
2 Nepang'wanso aukole muntu elina lakwe Zakayo. Hange ae mukulu waatoza ushulu hange muntu numugole.
There was a man there called Zacchaeus, who was the local surveyor of taxes, and was wealthy.
3 Aukugema kumuona u Yesu muntu wa namunake, lakini shanga aukondilye kuona kunsoko amilundo wa antu, kunsoko aemukupe wakimo.
He was anxious to see what sort of man Jesus was; but he could not because of the crowd, for he was short in stature.
4 Kuite wikatongela intambo ntongeela aantu, wikanankela migulya amunkuyu kuite wahume kuona, kunsoko u Yesu aewahumbela ukukeela inzila yeyo.
So he ran on in front and climbed up a mulberry tree to see Him; for He was about to pass that way.
5 Imatungo u Yesu naupikile pang'wanso, augozile migulya akamuila, “Zakayo sima kaya, kundogoelyo lelo lazima nshinde munyumbako.
As soon as Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for I must stay at your house to-day."
6 Wikituma halaka, wekasima nukumukalibisha kwakiloelya.
So he came down in haste, and welcomed Him joyfully.
7 Eantu ehi naaine nanso, akalalameka, nukulunga, “Wendamugendela umuntu nukete imilandu.”
When they all saw this, they began to complain with indignation. "He has gone in to be the guest of a notorious sinner!" they said.
8 U Zakayo wikimeka wikamuila Bwana, goza Bwana enusu ansailo yane kuapa eaula, anga itule numuhegeye muntuwehi ekentu, kumusukelya nkua inne.”
Zacchaeus however stood up, and addressing the Lord said, "Here and now, Master, I give half my property to the poor, and if I have unjustly exacted money from any man, I pledge myself to repay to him four times the amount."
9 U Yesu wikamuila, Elelo uugunwa upikile munyumba yeye, kunsoko nuanso nung'wenso ng'wana wang'wa Ibrahimu.
Turning towards him, Jesus replied, "To-day salvation has come to this house, seeing that he too is a son of Abraham.
10 Kundogoelyo ung'wana wamuntu uzile kuduma nukuaokola eantu nialimie.”
For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
11 Naaigulye nanso, wikaendelea kuligitya nukuapumilya impyani, kunsoko aukole pakupe ne Yerusalemu, neenso alengile kina utemi wang'wi Tunda aeukole pakupe kigela nkuaing'wi.
As they were listening to His words, He went on to teach them by a parable, because He was near to Jerusalem and they supposed that the Kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
12 Kuite wekamuila, “ofisa ung'wi aewendile ihe akole ili apokeele utemi hange wasuke.
So He said to them, "A man of noble family travelled to a distant country to obtain the rank of king, and to return.
13 Aeutangile iitumi akwe ikumi, wikaapa mafungu ikumi, wikaaila, itumi ebiashala kuite mpaka nekusuka.
And he called ten of his servants and gave each of them a pound, instructing them to trade with the money during his absence.
14 Lakini enihe akwe shanga aeamuloilwe kuite wekaatuma eajumbe ende amudume nukulunga, shangakutakile umuntu uyu ite wakutawale.
"Now his countrymen hated him, and sent a deputation after him to say, 'We are not willing that he should become our king.'
15 Kuite nausukile kito baada akupegwa uutemi, akalagelya eitumi naualekee impia itangwe kung'wakwe ahume kumanya faedake naamepatile naeitumile ebiashala.
And upon his return, after he had obtained the sovereignty, he ordered those servants to whom he had given the money to be summoned before him, that he might learn their success in trading.
16 Nuang'wandyo wekeza, nukulunga, “Bwana ifungu lako litumile mafungu ikumi zaidi.”
"So the first came and said, "'Sir, your pound has produced ten pounds more.'
17 Uofisa nuanso akamuila, iza, mitume numuza, kunsoko aeumuhueli kueke nekenino, ukutula nuuhueli migulya aisale ikumi.
"'Well done, good servant,' he replied; 'because you have been faithful in a very small matter, be in authority over ten towns.'
18 Nuakabeele wekiza, akalunga, “Bwana ifungu lako lituma mafungu ataano.
"The second came, and said, "'Your pound, Sir, has produced five pounds.'
19 Uofisa nuanso wekamuila, Hola utawala migulya aisale itaano.”
"So he said to this one also, "'And you, be the governor of five towns.'
20 Nuyu numungiza wekiza, akalunga, “Bwana seye apa empia ako, kuite aembekile iza mukitambala,
"The next came. "'Sir,' he said, 'here is your pound, which I have kept wrapt up in a cloth.
21 kundogoilyo aenogopile kunsoko, kunsoko uewe umutaki, nihola neshanukeekile nukuvuna neshauketeme.”
For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man: you take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.'
22 Uofisa nuanso akamuila, “Kunkani yako uewe, nukuhukumu, ue umitumi numube. Aulengile kina unene nemuntu numutaki, nehola neshanganukeekile, nukuvuna nishanga nuketemee.
"'By your own words,' he replied, 'I will judge you, you bad servant. You knew me to be a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow:
23 Ite shangawekaekane empia ane mubenki, kuite nensukile numehole palung'wi nefaida?
why then did you not put my money into a bank, that when I came I might have received it back with interest?
24 Uofisa wekaaela eantu naeakole imekile apaite, Muhegelyi ifungu nelanso nukumupa uyu nuamafungu ikumi.”
"And he said to those who stood by, "'Take the pound from him and give it to him who has the ten pounds.'
25 Wekamuela, Bwana, nuanso ukete mafungu ikumi.
("They said to him, "'Sir, he already has ten pounds.')
26 Kumuela, kila umuntu nukete ukupegwa ikulu, lakini uyu numugila, ata keke nukete kekuholwa.
"'I tell you that to every one who has anything, more shall be given; and from him who has not anything, even what he has shall be taken away.
27 Lakini awaite ebee ane, kuite shangae atakile ntule numutemi wao, aleti apaite muabulage ntongeela ane.”
But as for those enemies of mine who were unwilling that I should become their king, bring them here, and cut them to pieces in my presence.'"
28 Baada akulunga nanso, wikendelea kuntongela nukunankela kulongola ku Yerusalemu.
After thus speaking, He journeyed onward, proceeding up to Jerusalem.
29 Kuite nauhugie ku Bethfage nuku Bethania, pakupe numulema wa Mizeituni, autumile eamanyisigwa akwe abeele,
And when he was come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount called the Oliveyard, He sent two of the disciples on in front,
30 akalunga: “Longoli kijiji nekakesale. Mingile mukumuhanga ng'wandogwe nukele kunankelwa. Mutungoli, mumulete kung'waane.
saying to them, "Go into the village facing you. On entering it you will find an ass's foal tied up which no one has ever yet ridden: untie it, and bring it here.
31 Anga muntu wamukolya, “Mbona mukumutungwela? “Lungu, “Bwana umutakile.”
And if any one asks you, 'Why are you untying the colt?' simply say, 'The Master needs it.'"
32 Awa naatumilwe akalongola ekamuona ung'we - ndogwe anga u Yesu nauaee.
So those who were sent went and found things as He had told them.
33 Naakumutungula ung'wa-ndogwe eatawala akaela, kuneke mukumutungula ung'wa ndogwe uyuite?
And while they were untying the colt the owners called out, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 Ekalunga, Bwana umutakile.
and they replied, "The Master needs it."
35 Kuite, akamutaila u Yesu, ekaela ian'wenda ao migulya mung'wa - ndogwe ekamunankelya u Yesu migulya akwe.
Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their outer garments on the colt they placed Jesus on it.
36 Nautuile ukolongola eantu akaela iang'wenda ao mubalabala.
So He rode on, while they carpeted the road with their garments.
37 Nautuile ukusima mumulima wa Mizeituni umilondo wehi nuamanyisigwa akwe akanza kumulombeelya nukumukulya Itunda kululi nulukulu, kunsoko amakani nemakulu naamaine,
And when He was now getting near Jerusalem, and descending the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began in their joy to praise God in loud voices for all the mighty deeds they had witnessed.
38 ekalunga, “Inge ukembetilwe umutemi nuzile kulina lang'wa Bwana! Ulowa, Milunde, nuutukufu migulya!
"Blessed is the King," they cried, "who comes in the name of the Lord: in Heaven peace, and glory in the highest realms."
39 Baadhi amafarisayo mukate amilundo ekamuila, Mwalimu akilagye imagwe akukulya ululi.
Thereupon some of the Pharisees in the crowd appealed to Him, saying, "Rabbi, reprove your disciples."
40 U Yesu wekaasukilya, nukulunga, wekaaila, anga wawa akilage, imagwe akukulya ululi.”
"I tell you," He replied, "that if they became silent, the very stones would cry out."
41 U Yesu nauhugie ikesale wekakelela,
When He came into full view of the city, He wept aloud over it, and exclaimed,
42 wikalunga, tazu angezeune ata uewe, muluhiku ulu emakani aya nekuletela ulowa! Lakini itungele apihilwe mumiho ako.
"O that at this time thou hadst known--yes even thou--what makes peace possible! But now it is hid from thine eyes.
43 Kunsoko ipembilye insiku eabee ako akuzenga itando pakupe nuewe.
For the time is coming upon thee when thy foes will throw up around thee earthworks and a wall, investing thee and hemming thee in on every side.
44 Akugwisa pihe uewe neana ako. Shangaakulekela ata igwe neleng'we migulya anilengiza, kunsoko shanga aulengile imatungo Itunda naugemile kuokoa.
And they will dash thee to the ground and thy children within thee, and will not leave one stone upon another within thee; because thou hast not recognized the time of thy visitation."
45 Uye wakingila mihekalu, akandya kuazunsa awa naeakugulya,
Then Jesus entered the Temple and proceeded to drive out the dealers.
46 wekaaela, “Yandekilwe, Enyumbane ekutula nyumba amalompi, lakini unyenye yatula anga ikulungu lahegelyi”
"It is written," He said, "'And My house shall be the House of Prayer,' but you have made it a robbers' cave."
47 Kuite, u Yesu aewimanyisa kila uluhiku mihekalu. Eatongeli neakulu nealimu a shelia neatongeli antu naatakile kumubulaga.
And day after day He taught in the Temple, while the High Priests and the Scribes were devising some means of destroying Him, as were also the leading men of the people.
48 Lakini shangaekaweza kulija enzila nakituma nanso, kunsoko eantu ehi amutegeye kwamakini.
But they could not find any way of doing it, for the people all hung upon His lips.
