Lukha 19
1 U Yesu aingile akhagenda pagati pa Yeriko.
And, having entered, he was passing through Jericho;
2 Napo pale nu munu yumo alikhulambuliwa Sakhaye. Ale mbaha va vasongasogo khageale momafu.
and lo! a man, by name called Zacchaeus, and, he, was a chief tax-collector, and [he] was rich.
3 Anokhwagwa ukhumbona U Yesu munu vandakhikhi, alemilwe ukhumbona ulwakhuva avanu vodegile, umwene ale isupi fincho.
And he was seeking to see Jesus, what sort of man he was, and could not for the multitude, because, in stature, he was, small.
4 Pwu, akhalogola nambivi khuvanu, akhatoga mbinkhi ambone U Yesu ulwakhuva U Yesu agendile injila ila.
And, running forward unto the front, he got up a sycamore-tree, that he might see him; for, by that way, was he about to pass.
5 U Yesu avileafikhe pala akhalola khukhiya akhambula, sakhayo ikha nambivi, ulwakhuva ilelo nilenda munyumba yako.'
And, as he came up to the place, looking up, Jesus said unto him—Zacchaeus! make haste, and come down; For, to-day, in thy house, I must needs abide.
6 Akha gakha nambivi, akhikha akhamwambelila khuluhekhelo.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Avanu voni vavilevalole incho, vakhakhuta, vakhata, 'Alutile khukhugendela umunu utulanogwa.'
And all, when they beheld, began to murmur, saying—With a sinful man, hath he gone in to lodge!
8 U sakhai akhima akhanchova Ntwa, Lola Ntwa nusu ya khyuma kyango nikhuvapo avalemilwe, yegave nepokhile khumunu ikhinu, nikhumbunchekhencha mara khane. '
But, taking his stand, Zacchaeus said unto the Lord—Lo! the half of my possessions, Lord, unto the destitute, I give; and, if, from anyone, I have taken aught by false accusation, I give back fourfold.
9 U Yesu akhambula, elelo uvupokhi vufikhe mnyumba eye, ulwakhuva mwape mwana va Abrahamu.
And Jesus said unto him—This day, salvation, unto this house, hath come, —for that, he too, is, a son of Abraham;
10 Ulwakhuva umwana va munu inchile khulonda nu khuvapo kha avanu avayagile. '
For the Son of Man came, to seek and to save what was lost.
11 Vavile vapulikhe ewo, akhedelela ukhunchova akhakhumya ikhihwani, ulwakhuva alepipi ne Yerusalemu, avene vakhata uludeva lwa Nguluve lukhegelile lulepakhuvonekha nambivi.
And, because they were hearing these things, he added and spake a parable, because of his being near Jerusalem, and their supposing that, instantly, was the kingdom of God to shine forth.
12 Pwu akhavavula, “Ukhalani yumo alutile khukhilunga ikhyakuvutali akhambilile uludeva nu khukhilivukha.
He said, therefore—A certain man, of noble birth, went into a country far away, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Akhavilanga avavombi vamwene khinchigo, akhavapa ifineigo kumi, akhavavula, 'Mvombage iligunchi mpakha nelavanikhi ilivukha.'
And, calling ten servants of his own, he gave unto them ten minas, and said unto them—Do business, till I come.
14 Pwu avanuva mwene vakhambi pela vakhasuha avakhape tamu valute vakhoge nukhuta, satwinogwa umunu uyo atulogonchage.'
But, his citizens, hated him, and sent off an embassy after him, saying—We desire not, this, man, to be made king over us!
15 Pwu avileakhiliwikhe khukhaya wuvapile uvutwa, akhavavula avavombi uwuavalekhile indalama velagiwe khumwene, alumaye utengo ugwavapatile khumbo iyuvakhavokhavombelega.
And it came to pass, when he returned, having received the kingdom, that he bade be called unto him these servants, to whom he had given the silver, that he might take note, what business they had done.
16 Uvakwanda akhincha, akhanchova, 'Ntwa, ikhibina khyako kiholile amabina kumi khuvulogolo. '
And the first came near, saying—Lord! thy mina, hath made, ten minas.
17 Pwu ukalani akhambula, lunonu, ulembombi inonu. Ulwa khuva ukhale mwidekhinchi khumbombo endebe, wiva mwemelenchi khu vunchege khinchigo. '
And he said to him—Well done! good servant. Because, in a very small thing, thou hast been, faithful, have thou authority over, ten cities.
18 Uvaveli akhincha, akhata, 'Ntwa, ikhibina khyakho kholile amabina gakhano.'
And the second came, saying—Thy mina, lord, hath made five minas.
19 Ukalani akhambula,'Tola uvuloleli khuvunchegi vukhano. '
And he said, to him also, And, thou, be over five cities.
20 Nu yuge akhincha, akhata, 'Ntwa ulupa ulutalama lwakho, Ngalubinile vunonu mumwenda,
And, the other, came, saying—Lord, lo! thy mina, which I kept lying by in a napkin;
21 Ulwakhuva gadwadile uve ulemunu ikhali. Vutola khila ikhyuvekhile nukhubena ikhu suvyalile. '
For I was afraid of thee, because, a harsh man, thou art, —Thou takest up, what thou layedst not down, and reapest, what thou sowedst not!
22 Ukalani akhambula, 'Khumamenyu gakho nilhukhuhega, vivombi vembivi. Ukhalumayile ukhuta une numunu nkali, nitolaikhi sanivikhile nu khubena ikhisa nivyalile.
He saith to him—Out of thy mouth, do I judge thee, O wicked servant! Thou knewest that, I, a harsh man, am, —taking up, what I laid not down, and reaping, what I did not sow;
23 Khikhi, sukhavekhe ulutalama lwago khubengi, wunikhilivukha nitole paninie nulutitu?
Wherefore, then, didst thou not place my silver upon a [money-changer’s] table, and, I, when I came, with interest might have exacted it?
24 Ukalani akhavavula avanu avaemile pale, 'Pokhaga ubina mkhape ula unyamibina khinchigo.'
And, unto the by-standers, he said—Take, from him, the mina, and give unto him that hath, the ten minas; —
25 Vakhambula, 'Ntwa, umwene alenemibina khinchigo. '
And they said to him, Lord! he hath ten minas; —
26 Nikhuvavula, khila avyalinafyo akhwogelenchiwa afinge, uvialivuvule, vitola nafilafila afialienafyo.
I tell you—Unto everyone that hath, shall be given, whereas, from him that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken away.
27 Ulwakhuva avalugu vago, sawa khanogwa ukhata nive nkhu ludeva vavo, vag'eg'e apa mvabude khuvulogolo khulyune.”
But, these mine enemies who desired not that I should be made king over them, bring ye here, and slay them outright before me.
28 Avile anchovile ewo, alikhulule kuvulogolo alikhutoga ukhuluta ku Yerusalemu.
And, having said these things, he was moving on in front, going up into Jerusalem.
29 Avile akhagelile khu Bethfage, na ku Bethania, pawipi nekhikyamba ikhya Mizeituni, akhava sukha avakuongi vavile,
And it came to pass, as he drew near unto Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount which is called the Mount of Olives, he sent off two of his disciples,
30 Akhata: 'Mlutage mumbunchege uvulipipi. wumwingile, mkha londage ikhyana khya ligodowe ikyusakhitogiwe. Muhudulage, mukhag'eg'e khulyune.
saying—Go your way unto the opposite village, in which, as ye are entering, ye shall find a colt, bound, whereon, no man, hath, ever sat, —and, having loosed him, bring him.
31 Umunu agavavunche, 'khikhi mukhwavula? 'Munchova, “Ntwa ikhuyelonda.”
And, if any one question you—Wherefore are ye loosing him? thus, shall ye say—His Lord, hath, need.
32 Avasukhiwe vakhaluta vakhayivona inyana ya ligodowe nduwvu U Yesu avavulile.
And they who were sent, departing, found as he had said to them.
33 Vavilevikhwavula inyana ya ligodowe, avanyaligodowe vakhavavula, 'Khikhi mukhwavula inyana ya ligodowe ile?'
And, as they were loosing the colt, his lords said unto them—Why are ye loosing the colt?
34 Vakhanchova, 'U Ntwa ikhuyelonda. '
And, they, said—His Lord, hath, need.
35 Pwu vakhahelekha kwa Yesu, vakhatandikha imienda giavo pakyanya panyana ya ligodowe vakhantoncha U Yesu pakhinya.
And they brought him unto Jesus; and, throwing their mantles over the colt, they seated Jesus thereon.
36 Avileiluta avanuvalikhutandancha imienda ngivo musevo.
And, as he moved along, they were spreading their own mantles in the way.
37 Avileikhwi mkhiyamba ikhiya Mizeituni, ikhipuga khoni ikhiya vakongi valikhululitela na khuginya U Nguluve khumamenyu amavakha, khumbombo imbakha inchovanchiwene,
And, when he was drawing near, already, unto the descent of the Mount of Olives, one-and-all the throng of the disciples began joyfully to be praising God with a loud voice, concerning all the mighty works which they had seen;
38 Valikhula, 'Uyu usayiwa ukurudeva uviikuwineha khulitawa lya Ntwa! Ulukhugu khukyanya, nulunonehekhencho khukyanya!'
saying—Blessed is he that cometh… The king! In the name of the Lord! In heaven, peace! And glory in the highest!
39 Avafarisai palulundamano vakhambula, Ndemi, vanunanche avakhongi vakho. '
And, certain of the Pharisees from the multitude, said unto him—Teacher! rebuke thy disciples.
40 U Yesu akhanda, akhata, 'Nivavule, vagave ava vinunula amaganga giywegapa fincho. '
And he answered and said—I tell you—If, these, shall hold their peace, the stones, will cry out.
41 U Yesu avileakhegelile mumbo nchege akhalila,
And, when he drew near, beholding the city, he wept over it, saying—
42 Akhanchova mwalemulumaye nayumwe ikhigono ikhyilelo imbombo inchikhugegela uluhungu! Lino nchifikha mikhe pamikho gakho.
If thou hadst got to know, in this day, even thou, the conditions of peace… But, now, are they hid from thine eyes:
43 Ulwakhuva ifigono fikhwincha udugu vakho alanchenga uvunehege panie nuve, nukhukhu naugula nukhukhudidelencha ukhuma khwoni.
Because days will have come upon thee, that thine enemies will throw around a rampart against thee, and enclose thee; and hem thee in from every side, —
44 Vikhukhugwisya pasi uve na vana vakho. Savakhakhulekhele iliwe limo pakhya panige, ulwakha sawalumaye usikhikhi U Nguruve apwavakhanogwagwa ukhukhupokha.'
And will level thee with the ground, and thy children within thee, and will not leave, stone on stone, within thee: because thou didst not get to know the season of thy visitation.
45 U Yesu akhigila Mtempeli, akhategula ukhuvamanyisya avagunchaga,
And, entering into the temple, he began to be casting out them who were selling;
46 Akhavavula, “Yesimbiwe, “Inyumba yago yiva nyumba ya khuvisayila, 'Umwe mvekhile ukhuva lipagala lya vakhenchi.”
saying unto them—It is written, And, my house, shall be, a house of prayer; but, ye, have made, it, a den of robbers.
47 U Yesu alikhumanyisya khila khigono Mtempeli. Avantwa na vamayisi va ndagilo na valogonchi va vanu vakhanogwa ukhumbuda,
And he was teaching day by day in the temple; but, the High-priests and the Scribes, also the chiefs of the people, were seeking to destroy him, —
48 Pwu vakhahemwa injila iya khugakha fwo, ulwakhuva avanu voni valikhupulikhencha nulukhala.
and could not find what they might do, for, the people, one and all, were hanging upon him, as they hearkened.
