Luke 19
1 He entered and was passing through Jericho.
Jesu abe njili ni ku hita mukati ka Jeriko.
2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
Imi, kubena mukwame aba ku sumpwa Zakia. A bali mukulwana ku balihisi mi a baku fumite.
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
A ba kulika ku bona kuti kanti Jesu njeni, kono kana aba kuwola kubona kwi shila lye chikwata, bakeñi cha kuti abali mufwihi.
4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
Mi cha tilila ku busu bwa bantu ni kukantanta kwi isamu lya sikomore kuti amubone, kakuti Jesu kwa bakuhitila.
5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
Mi Jesu ha sika hecho chibaka, cha lola kwiwulu mi cha muwambila kuti, “Zakia, suke hansi kakuhwela, mukuti sunu ni kekala kwi nzubo ya ko.”
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
Cha suka kapili, kwi za hansi mi chamutambula na tabite.
7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
Mi bantu haba bona vulyo, chi ba bilela, chiba wamba, “Cha yenda kukupotela mukwame wina chibi.”
8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
Zakia cha zimana mi cha wamba kwe Ireeza kuti, “Bone, Ireeza, ni bahi imbali yimwi ye ntuntu yangu kubanjebwe, mi heba kwina yenke uni bachengeleli ni chimwi, ka nimu bozekeze zone.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
Jesu cha wamba kwali, “Sunu i puluso yeza mwi nzubo yako, kakuti nawe u mwana wa Abrahama.
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Mukuti Mwana a Muntu a ba kezi ku gana ni ku haza bantu ba zobete.”
11 As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
Mi haba zuwa izo zintu, cha zwila habusu ku wamba mi na wamba che nguli, kakuti cha bena hafwihi ni Jerusalema, mi baba kuhupula kuti mubuso we Ireeza chiu bena hafwihi ni kwiza.
12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
Cha wamba, “Zumwi kuluzubo lwa busimwine cha yenda kule mwi nkanda kukali wanina mubuso ni ku kabola.”
13 He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
Cha sumpa i kumi lya bahikana ba kwe, cha baha ikumi lye pondo lya masheleni, mi cha wamba ku bali kuti, “Mu pange mu ku wuza ku lindila chi naka bola.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
“Kono ba mushobo wakwe chi ba mutoya mi chi ba tumina chikwata chabazimanini mwisule lyakwe, mi ni ba wamba kuti, “Kese tu siye uzu muntu kuti atu yendise.”
15 “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
Chi zapangahala haka bola hape, ha mana kuka wana mubuso, cha laela bahikana abo baba hewa masheleni kuti basumpwe kwali, kuti eze ezibe kuti kanti nji bukai ibaba wani yahewulu ha baba ku wuza.
16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
We ntanzi cheza kwali, na wamba kuti, “Ireeza, ha masheleni ako ni ba pangi ikumwi lya masheleni hewulu,
17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
Yo zwa kuluzubo lwa busimwine cha wamba kwali kuti, “Wa tenda hande, u mu hikana yo shiyeme. Mukuti uba sepahali kuzintu zi nini, ko be imu yendisi hewulu lyekumi lya mileneni.”
18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
Mi wa bubeli cheza, na wamba kuti, Ma masheleni ako, Ireeza, aa panga i yanza lya masheleni hewulu.
19 “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
“Yo zwa haluzubo lwa busimwine cha wamba kwali kuti, ko yendise i yanza lye mileneñi.”
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
Hape zumwi cheza, na wamba kuti, “Ireeza, masheleni ako aa, ni baabikite mwi njiila,
21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’
kakuti ni ba ku tiite, mukuti u muntu yo bambamite. U hinda mosana uba biki, mi u sinza mosana u ba byali.”
22 “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow.
Wa luzubo lya busimwine cha wamba kwali kuti, “kachi wambo chako ka ni ku atule, iwe muhikana mubi. U bezi kuti ime ni muntu yo bambamite, ni hinda ha ni sana ni ba biki, mi ni sinza mu ni sana ni babyali.
23 Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
Mi chinzi ho sana u ba biki masheleni angu mwi banka, kuti ime chi na kabola, nize ni ahinde ni chimwi hewulu?”
24 He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
Wa luzubo lwa busimwine cha wamba ku bose baba zimene, “Mu hinde masheleni ena kwali, mi mumu he ikumi lya masheleni,”
25 “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
Chi ba wamba kwali kuti, Ireeza, wina kale i kumi lya masheleni.
26 ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
Ni wamba kwenu, muntu yese wina u swanezi kuhewa zingi, kono kwa kwe ya seena, niheba chi na cha kwete ka chi hindwe kwali.
27 But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
Kono zila zangu, abo ba sa ni suni kuti ni ni bayendise, mu ba lete kunu mi mwize mubehaye habusu bwangu.”
28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
Ha wamba izo zintu, cha zwila habusu, ku yenda kwa Jerusalema.
29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
Hati cho chunine ha fwihi ni Bertifage ni Betania, helundu li sumpwa Oliveta, cha tuma balutwana bobele,
30 saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
na wamba kuti, “Mu yende ha munzi uwo wi chilila, mi chi mwe njila bulyo, ka muwane i mbongolo i seni kwi chilwa. Mu yisumunune mi muyi lete kunu kwangu.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
Heba kwina yete ami buze, “Chinzi ha mu i sumununa? mu wambe kuti, Ireeza njo i suna.”
32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
A bo baba tumwitwe baba yendi ni kuka wana i mbongolo bo bulyo mwa ba wambili Jesu.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
Ha baba ku kwete ku sumununa i mbongolo, bene bayo chiba wamba ku bali kuti, “Chinzi ha mu sumununa i mbongolo?”
34 They said, “The Lord needs it.”
Chi ba wamba kuti, “Ireeza njo i suni.”
35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
Chi ba kayi leta kwa Jesu, mi chi ba zala zizwato he mbongolo mi chi be tantika ho Jesu.
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
Ha ba ba ku yenda, chi ba zala chizwato za bo mu nzila.
37 As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
Ha chunina ha chibaka cina zi samu ze olive, bungi bwa balutwana ci ba tanga ku luluweza ni ku temba Ireeza ka muhuwo mukando ka mitendo mi lontu yi baba boni,
38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
ni ba wamba kuti, “Kutompwe simwine yo kezite mwi zina lye Ireeza! Kusanga ku be kwi wulu mi ikanya i be hewulu!”
39 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
Bamwi ku Bafalisi ba bena mu chikwata, chi ba wamba kwali kuti, “Muluti, kalimele balutwana bako.”
40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
Jesu che taba cha wamba kuti, Ni mi wambila, heba aba ni ba ntontola, ma ñomwe ka a huwe.”
41 When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
Cwale Jesu ha chunina ku muleneni, ca lila,
42 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
na wamba kuti, Kambe u be zibite ze linu i zuba lya ko li ka kuletele ikozo, kono hanu zi patitwe ha menso ako.
43 For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
Mi mazuba ka akeze hewulu lyako, mi zila zako ka zi ku zimbuluse ni lukwakwa, mi zikuzimbuluke, ni kuku kakatiza imbali zose.
44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
Ka ba ku wisikize hasi iwe ni bana bako. Keteni ba siye ibwe hewulu lya limwi, mukuti kena u be zibi Ireeza ha ba kusuni ku kutusa.
45 He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
Jesu che njila mwi keleke ni ku tandila hanze bonse baba ku wuza,
46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
na wamba ku bali kuti, “Ku ba ñoletwe, “I nzubo yangu ye ntapelo, kono inwe chi mwa yi tenda inzubo ya basa.”
47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
Mi Jesu aba ku kutaza izuba ni zuba mwi keleke, ba kulwana ba Mapurisita, ni bañola mane ni bakulwana be cisi, ba ba ku saka ku mwi haya.
48 They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
Kono kana ba ba wani inzila ya ku tenda bulyo, mukuti chisi chonse ci bakumalele ku muzuwa.
