Luka 19
1 Yesu pera a wa nin din cinu nanyan Jeriko.
So He entered Jericho and was passing through the town.
2 Umong unit wa duku lisa me Zakka. A mere udiya nanang sesun gandu a wa di nin nikurfung kang.
There was a man there called Zacchaeus, who was the local surveyor of taxes, and was wealthy.
3 A wade nin su ayene sa ghari Yesu, bara ligozi nanit na ayinno ba, bara na a wadi kaff.
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 A kata mbun na nite nin cum adi ghana kuca kuppul anan yeneghe, bara na Yesu wa cinu ukatun loli libau we.
So he ran on in front and climbed up a mulberry tree to 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.”
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 A taa mas, a tolo anin sereghe nin nayi aboo.
So he came down in haste, and welcomed Him joyfully.
7 Na anit vat nyene nani, I tunnan ngbondilu, I din duu, “A doo kilarin nlenge na adi nim kulapi.”
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 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.”
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 Yesu woroghe, “Kitimone utucun daa kilari kane, bara na ane wang donon Ibrahim mari.
Turning towards him, Jesus replied, "To-day salvation has come to this house, seeing that he too 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.
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 A woro nani, “Umong unit wa su ucin udu kipin ki piit anan di seru kilari tigoo me anin nya usa.
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 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 ten of his servants and gave each of them a pound, instructing them to trade with the money during his absence.
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.'
"Now his countrymen hated him, and sent a deputation after him to say, 'We are not willing that he should become our king.'
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 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 Unan burne da ubun me, a woro, 'Cikilari, ikurfungfe mmara amoi likure tutung.'
"So the first came and said, "'Sir, your pound has produced ten pounds more.'
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.'
"'Well done, good servant,' he replied; 'because you have been faithful in a very small matter, be in authority over ten towns.'
18 Unan mba me da, a woro, 'Ikurfung fe, Cikilari, na maru amoi ataun.'
"The second came, and said, "'Your pound, Sir, has produced five pounds.'
19 Cikilare woroghe, 'Yenje nigbiri nitaun.'
"So he said to this one also, "'And you, be the governor of five towns.'
20 Umong kuru adaa a woro, 'Cikilari, ikurfung fe ile na in wa ceo inin gegeme nany nimoon,
"The next came. "'Sir,' he said, 'here is your pound, which I have kept wrapt up in a cloth.
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 severe man: you take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what 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.
"'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 Iyarin taa na una ceo ikurfung ninghe kikaa na idin cisu ku ba, bara inwa sa imba di seru inin nin nimon kitene?'
why then did you not put my money into a bank, that when I came I might have received it back 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 the pound from him and give it to him who has the ten pounds.'
25 I woroghe, 'Cikilari, a di nin namoi likure.'
("They said to him, "'Sir, he already 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.
"'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 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 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 Na a benle nani ile imoone, a tuna ncin me, cindu Urshalima.
After thus speaking, He journeyed onward, proceeding up to Jerusalem.
29 Uso na ada kupoon Baitfaji nin Bethany, litala loo na idin yicu Uzaitun, a too nono katwa me naba,
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 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 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 Wase umong ntirin minu, 'I yarin taa idin bunku kanin?' I belinghe, 'Cikilari di nin su kanin.'”
And if any one asks you, 'Why are you untying the colt?' simply say, 'The Master needs it.'"
32 Ale na I wa tuu nani doo idi se kijakye nafo na Yesu mbele nani.
So those who were sent went and found things as He had told them.
33 Na I wadin bukwe, unan kanin woro nani, “I warin ta I din burku kijakye?”
And while they were untying the colt the owners called out, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 I woro, “Cikilare de nin nsukanim.”
and they replied, "The Master needs it."
35 I da nin kanin kitin Yesu, I tiza alituk mene kitene kaning, min tarda Yesu ku kitene kaning.
Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their outer garments on the colt they placed Jesus on it.
36 Na aghana, I tiza alituk mene kitene libauwe.
So He rode on, while they carpeted the road with their garments.
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 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 I din belu, “Ubab mariari ugo ule na adaa nanya lisan Cif! Ayiasheu nanya kitene kani, nin ruu kitene ki piit!”
"Blessed is the King," they cried, "who comes in the name of the Lord: in Heaven peace, and glory in the highest realms."
39 Among afarsayawa na i wadi nanya ligozene woroghe, “Ku mallami kpada nono katwa fe.”
Thereupon some of the Pharisees in the crowd appealed to Him, saying, "Rabbi, reprove your disciples."
40 Yesu kawa a woro nani, “Inbelen minu, alele nwa ti tik, atala alele ba kawu.”
"I tell you," He replied, "that if they became silent, the very stones would cry out."
41 Na Yesu nda kupoo kagbire, a tultino nmizin bara kagbire,
When He came into full view of the city, He wept aloud over it, and exclaimed,
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.
"O that at this time thou hadst known--yes even thou--what makes peace possible! But now it is 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.
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 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 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 Yesu pira nanya kutii nlira a cizina ukuu nale na iwa din lesu nimoon,
Then Jesus entered the Temple and proceeded to drive out the dealers.
46 a din belu nani, “Ina yertin, 'Kilari ninghe ba so kilarin nlira,' bara nani anung ani nkpiliya kinin kiso kuwu na kiri.”
"It is written," He said, "'And My house shall be the House of Prayer,' but you have made it a robbers' cave."
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 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 bara nani na I see libau nsunani ba, nara na anite vat wadin lanzughe.
But they could not find any way of doing it, for the people all hung upon His lips.
