Luka 19
1 Yesu pera a wa nin din cinu nanyan Jeriko.
And having entered, he was passing through Jericho,
2 Umong unit wa duku lisa me Zakka. A mere udiya nanang sesun gandu a wa di nin nikurfung kang.
and lo, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich,
3 A wade nin su ayene sa ghari Yesu, bara ligozi nanit na ayinno ba, bara na a wadi kaff.
and he was seeking to see Jesus, who he is, and was not able for the multitude, because in stature he was small,
4 A kata mbun na nite nin cum adi ghana kuca kuppul anan yeneghe, bara na Yesu wa cinu ukatun loli libau we.
and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore, that he may see him, because through that [way] he was about to pass by.
5 Na Yesu ndaa kitene, a fya iyizi a woroghe, “Zakke, tolo mas, bara kitomone nmadu ngafe.”
And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said unto him, 'Zaccheus, having hastened, come down, for to-day in thy house it behoveth me to remain;'
6 A taa mas, a tolo anin sereghe nin nayi aboo.
and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;
7 Na anit vat nyene nani, I tunnan ngbondilu, I din duu, “A doo kilarin nlenge na adi nim kulapi.”
and having seen [it], they were all murmuring, saying — 'With a sinful man he went in to lodge!'
8 Zakka yisina a woron Cikilare, “Yene, Cikilare, kuger intamani nighe in ma ni anan diru na kara, sa ina seru umong imong imon in ma kpillu inighe tinas na ina seru.”
And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, 'Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.'
9 Yesu woroghe, “Kitimone utucun daa kilari kane, bara na ane wang donon Ibrahim mari.
And Jesus said unto him — 'To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
10 Bara na Gono nit na dak ada piziru a tucu anit alenge na I wulu.”
for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'
11 Na I lanza ile imone, a leo ubun ntirwe a benle nani nin nanan tigoldon, barana a wa dak susut nin Urshalima, inung nin ceo nibinae sa kilari tigoo Kutelle ba sa ku bere.
And while they are hearing these things, having added he spake a simile, because of his being nigh to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the reign of God is about presently to be made manifest.
12 A woro nani, “Umong unit wa su ucin udu kipin ki piit anan di seru kilari tigoo me anin nya usa.
He said therefore, 'A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return,
13 A yicila acin me likure, a naa nani amoi likure, a woro nani, 'Can kpilizan a cara mun udu kubin sa nighe.'
and having called ten servants of his own, he gave to them ten pounds, and said unto them, Do business — till I come;
14 Bara nani anan kipen me nari ame I too among a didya udu kiti me, I belinghe, 'Na ti ma yinnu unit ulele su tigo nati bite na.'
and his citizens were hating him, and did send an embassy after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us.
15 Uso kubi ko na a saa, unuzun seru kilari tigo we, a woro I yicila acin me vat na awa ninani ikurfunghe bara a yinin imashinari I see kitine nikurfunghe bara ukpilizu nacara.
'And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what any one had done in business.
16 Unan burne da ubun me, a woro, 'Cikilari, ikurfungfe mmara amoi likure tutung.'
'And the first came near, saying, Sir, thy pound did gain ten pounds;
17 Cikilare woroghe, injaa, 'Gajiya nin katwa, kucin kucine. Bara na una su uyinu-sa-uyenu nanya nimon icing, uba se kutet likara nigberi likure.'
and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because in a very little thou didst become faithful, be having authority over ten cities.
18 Unan mba me da, a woro, 'Ikurfung fe, Cikilari, na maru amoi ataun.'
'And the second came, saying, Sir, thy pound made five pounds;
19 Cikilare woroghe, 'Yenje nigbiri nitaun.'
and he said also to this one, And thou, become thou over five cities.
20 Umong kuru adaa a woro, 'Cikilari, ikurfung fe ile na in wa ceo inin gegeme nany nimoon,
'And another came, saying, Sir, lo, thy pound, that I had lying away in a napkin;
21 bara na imwa lanza fiu fe, bara na fe dinin kibinai kinanzang. Asu uyira kikanga na uceo ku ba, ukowo ile imon na una bilisu ba.'
for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
22 Cikilare woroghe, 'Bara ti gbulang imliru fe nma wucufi mun, fe kucin kibinai ki sirne. Uyiru meng unan kibinai kisine ari, in din pilu imon ile na in ceo ba, nin kezu ni mon ile na mbilsa ba.
'And he saith to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!
23 Iyarin taa na una ceo ikurfung ninghe kikaa na idin cisu ku ba, bara inwa sa imba di seru inin nin nimon kitene?'
and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, with interest might have received it?
24 Cikilare woro nalenge na iyisin kupoo we, 'Seren ikurfung, ile na idi kiti me ini ule na di nin likure.'
'And to those standing by he said, Take from him the pound, and give to him having the ten pounds —
25 I woroghe, 'Cikilari, a di nin namoi likure.'
(and they said to him, Sir, he hath ten pounds) —
26 'Inbeling minu, vat ule na adi mun Iba kpinghe ku, bara nani ule na asalin mun, I lele na adimun wang ima bulu.
for I say to you, that to every one having shall be given, and from him not having, also what he hath shall be taken from him,
27 Bara nani ale na ina nari na iwa din nin su meng su tigoo kitene mine ba, daan nin ghinu ida molsu nani mbun nighe.'”
but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.'
28 Na a benle nani ile imoone, a tuna ncin me, cindu Urshalima.
And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Uso na ada kupoon Baitfaji nin Bethany, litala loo na idin yicu Uzaitun, a too nono katwa me naba,
And it came to pass, as he came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, unto the mount called of the Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 a woro nani, “Can nanya kagbirin mbune I wadin pire, Ima yenu kagono kajaki kanga na isa ghana ku ba, bunkun kanin ida niyi.
having said, Go away to the village over-against, in which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring [it];
31 Wase umong ntirin minu, 'I yarin taa idin bunku kanin?' I belinghe, 'Cikilari di nin su kanin.'”
and if any one doth question you, Wherefore do ye loose [it]? thus ye shall say to him — The Lord hath need of it.'
32 Ale na I wa tuu nani doo idi se kijakye nafo na Yesu mbele nani.
And those sent, having gone away, found according as he said to them,
33 Na I wadin bukwe, unan kanin woro nani, “I warin ta I din burku kijakye?”
and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, 'Why loose ye the colt?'
34 I woro, “Cikilare de nin nsukanim.”
and they said, 'The Lord hath need of it;'
35 I da nin kanin kitin Yesu, I tiza alituk mene kitene kaning, min tarda Yesu ku kitene kaning.
and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it.
36 Na aghana, I tiza alituk mene kitene libauwe.
And as he is going, they were spreading their garments in the way,
37 Na a wa dak susut kikaa na litalan Zaitun ntula ku, vat nono katwa me cizina ulanzun mang I kifo uruu Kutelle nin ti wui ti kang nin nitwa ni didya naa na iyenje,
and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen,
38 I din belu, “Ubab mariari ugo ule na adaa nanya lisan Cif! Ayiasheu nanya kitene kani, nin ruu kitene ki piit!”
saying, 'blessed [is] he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.'
39 Among afarsayawa na i wadi nanya ligozene woroghe, “Ku mallami kpada nono katwa fe.”
And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, 'Teacher, rebuke thy disciples;'
40 Yesu kawa a woro nani, “Inbelen minu, alele nwa ti tik, atala alele ba kawu.”
and he answering said to them, 'I say to you, that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!'
41 Na Yesu nda kupoo kagbire, a tultino nmizin bara kagbire,
And when he came nigh, having seen the city, he wept over it,
42 a benle, “Mkuru fo iyiru nanya liri lole, anun wang, imon ile na ida minu nin nayi aboo! Bara nani iyeshe imon nizi mine.
saying — 'If thou didst know, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace; but now they were hid from thine eyes.
43 Bara ayire ma dak nati mine, na anan sali nsu mine ma kye udanga I kilin vat nasare iparda minu.
'Because days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast around thee a rampart, and compass thee round, and press thee on every side,
44 I ma kezu minu utulu kutiin nin nono minue, na ima sunu nlon litala kitene nlon ba, bara na amun wa yinnin ba na Kutelle wa ceu ayi nworu atucu minu.”
and lay thee low, and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou didst not know the time of thy inspection.'
45 Yesu pira nanya kutii nlira a cizina ukuu nale na iwa din lesu nimoon,
And having entered into the temple, he began to cast forth those selling in it, and those buying,
46 a din belu nani, “Ina yertin, 'Kilari ninghe ba so kilarin nlira,' bara nani anung ani nkpiliya kinin kiso kuwu na kiri.”
saying to them, 'It hath been written, My house is a house of prayer — but ye made it a den of robbers.'
47 Bara nani Yesu wadin dursuzu nanit nanya kutii nlira, anan yenji kutii nlire nin nanan niyert umunu adidya na nite vat wadi sin su imolughe,
And he was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy him — also the chiefs of the people —
48 bara nani na I see libau nsunani ba, nara na anite vat wadin lanzughe.
and they were not finding what they shall do, for all the people were hanging on him, hearing him.
