Luka 19
1 Yesu pera a wa nin din cinu nanyan Jeriko.
And he entered, and passed through Jericho.
2 Umong unit wa duku lisa me Zakka. A mere udiya nanang sesun gandu a wa di nin nikurfung kang.
And, behold, there was a man called Zacchæus, who was a chief publican; 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 sought to see Jesus, who he was, and was not able on account of the multitude, because he was of small stature.
4 A kata mbun na nite nin cum adi ghana kuca kuppul anan yeneghe, bara na Yesu wa cinu ukatun loli libau we.
And he ran before, and climbed up a sycamore-tree, that he might see him, for he was about to pass that way.
5 Na Yesu ndaa kitene, a fya iyizi a woroghe, “Zakke, tolo mas, bara kitomone nmadu ngafe.”
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him: Zacchæus, make haste and come down, for I must spend this day at your house.
6 A taa mas, a tolo anin sereghe nin nayi aboo.
And he made haste and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Na anit vat nyene nani, I tunnan ngbondilu, I din duu, “A doo kilarin nlenge na adi nim kulapi.”
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying: He has gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
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 Zacchæus stood, and said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken from any one by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 Yesu woroghe, “Kitimone utucun daa kilari kane, bara na ane wang donon Ibrahim mari.
And Jesus said to him: To-day has salvation come to this house, since 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 has come to seek and to save that which was 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 as they heard these things, he also spoke a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately appear.
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 nobleman went into a distant country to receive for 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 he called his ten servants, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, Engage in trade 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.'
But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not have this man 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, that, when he had returned, having received the kingdom, he commanded those servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know what each had gained by trading.
16 Unan burne da ubun me, a woro, 'Cikilari, ikurfungfe mmara amoi likure tutung.'
And the first came and said: Lord, your pound has gained 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 you have been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.
18 Unan mba me da, a woro, 'Ikurfung fe, Cikilari, na maru amoi ataun.'
And the second came and said: Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.
19 Cikilare woroghe, 'Yenje nigbiri nitaun.'
And he said to him also: And be you over five cities.
20 Umong kuru adaa a woro, 'Cikilari, ikurfung fe ile na in wa ceo inin gegeme nany nimoon,
And another came and said: Lord, behold your pound, which I have kept laid 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 you, because you are a hard man; you take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did 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.
Then he said to him: Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was a hard 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 why then did you not put my money into the bank, that, when I came, I could have collected it with interest?
24 Cikilare woro nalenge na iyisin kupoo we, 'Seren ikurfung, ile na idi kiti me ini ule na di nin likure.'
And he said to those who stood by: Take from him the pound, and give it to him that has ten pounds.
25 I woroghe, 'Cikilari, a di nin namoi likure.'
And they said to him: Lord, he has 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, To every one that has, it shall be given; but from him that has not, even that which he has shall be taken away.
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 who are my enemies, who were not willing that I should rule over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 Na a benle nani ile imoone, a tuna ncin me, cindu Urshalima.
And when he had said these things, he went 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, that, when he came near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount called the mount of 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.
saying: Go into the opposite village, in which, when you enter, you will find a colt tied, on which no man ever sat. Loose him, and bring him.
31 Wase umong ntirin minu, 'I yarin taa idin bunku kanin?' I belinghe, 'Cikilari di nin su kanin.'”
And if any one ask you why you loose him, thus shall you say to him: The Lord has need of him.
32 Ale na I wa tuu nani doo idi se kijakye nafo na Yesu mbele nani.
And those who were sent, went, and found as he had said to them.
33 Na I wadin bukwe, unan kanin woro nani, “I warin ta I din burku kijakye?”
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners of him said to them: Why do you loose the colt?
34 I woro, “Cikilare de nin nsukanim.”
They replied: The Lord has need of him.
35 I da nin kanin kitin Yesu, I tiza alituk mene kitene kaning, min tarda Yesu ku kitene kaning.
And they brought him to Jesus, and threw their mantles upon the colt, and set Jesus on him.
36 Na aghana, I tiza alituk mene kitene libauwe.
And as he was going on, they spread their mantles in the road.
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 when he was now near the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and to praise God, with a loud voice, for all the mighty deeds which 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 the king that comes 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 some of the Pharisees from among the multitude, said to him: Teacher, rebuke your disciples.
40 Yesu kawa a woro nani, “Inbelen minu, alele nwa ti tik, atala alele ba kawu.”
And he answered, and said to them: I say to you, that if these had been silent, the stones would have cried out.
41 Na Yesu nda kupoo kagbire, a tultino nmizin bara kagbire,
And when he came near, he looked upon the city, and 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: Hadst thou known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which were for thy peace! But now, they are hid from thy eyes.
43 Bara ayire ma dak nati mine, na anan sali nsu mine ma kye udanga I kilin vat nasare iparda minu.
For the days will come upon thee, when thy enemies will throw up a mound about thee, and inclose thee around, and keep thee in 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 will destroy thee and thy children within thee, and will not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45 Yesu pira nanya kutii nlira a cizina ukuu nale na iwa din lesu nimoon,
And he went into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling in it, and those who were buying,
46 a din belu nani, “Ina yertin, 'Kilari ninghe ba so kilarin nlira,' bara nani anung ani nkpiliya kinin kiso kuwu na kiri.”
and said to them: It is written, My house is a house of prayer; but you have 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, and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 bara nani na I see libau nsunani ba, nara na anite vat wadin lanzughe.
and found nothing that they could do, for all the people hung on his words.
