Luka 19
1 Yesu nodonjo Jeriko, kendo nowuotho kokadho e dier dalano.
Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.
2 Ngʼato ne nitie kanyo ma nyinge Zakayo; ne en jasol osuru maduongʼ kendo ne en ja-mwandu.
There was a man there, known by the name of Zacchaeus, who was a commissioner of taxes and a rich man.
3 Ne odwaro neno ni Yesu en ngʼa, to nikech ne en nyadundo ne ok onyal, nikech oganda ne ngʼeny.
He tried to see what Jesus was like; but, being short, he was unable to do so because of the crowd.
4 Omiyo noringo odhiyo motelo kendo noidho yadh ngʼowu mondo onene, nikech Yesu ne biro kalo kanyo.
So he ran on ahead and climbed into a mulberry tree, to see Jesus, for he knew that he must pass that way.
5 Kane Yesu ochopo kanyo, nongʼiyo malo kendo nowachone niya, “Omiyo Zakayo, nolor piny piyo. Tinendeni nyaka abed e odi.”
When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him: “Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I must stop at your house to-day.”
6 Omiyo Zakayo nolor mapiyo kendo norwake gi mor e ode.
So Zacchaeus got down quickly, and joyfully welcomed him.
7 Ji duto mane oneno ma nochako ngʼur kagiwacho niya, “Osedhi bedo wendo jaricho!”
On seeing this, every one began to complain: “He has gone to stay with a man who is an outcast.”
8 To Zakayo nochungo malo kendo nowachone Ruoth niya, “Ne Ruoth! Sani kendo koroni abiro chiwo nus mar giga ne jochan, to kapo ni ne asewuondo ngʼato e gimoro amora, abiro chule ka adwokone maromo nyadingʼwen.”
But Zacchaeus stood forward and said to the Master: “Listen, Master! I will give half my property to the poor, and, if I have defrauded any one of anything, I will give him back four times as much.”
9 Yesu nowachone niya, “Kawuono warruok osebiro e odni, nikech ngʼatni bende en nyakwar Ibrahim.
“Salvation has come to this house to-day,” answered Jesus, “for even this man is a son of Abraham.
10 Nikech Wuod Dhano nobiro mondo omany kendo owar jogo manolal.”
The Son of Man has come to ‘search for those who are lost’ and to save them.”
11 Kane pod giwinjo wachni, nodhi nyime kogoyonegi ngero, nikech nochiegni gi Jerusalem, kendo ji ne paro ni pinyruoth Nyasaye biro betie mapiyo.
As the people were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell them a parable. He did so because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the Kingdom of God was going to be proclaimed at once.
12 Nowacho niya, “Ngʼat moro marahuma nodhi e piny mabor mondo oyiere ruoth eka bangʼe oduogi.
He said: “A nobleman once went to a distant country to receive his appointment to a Kingdom and then return.
13 Omiyo noluongo jotichne moko apar kendo ne omiyogi silingʼ alufu achiel, achiel. Nowachonegi ni, ‘Lokuru ohala gi pesagi, nyaka chop aduogi.’
He called ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds each, and told them to trade with them during his absence.
14 “To joge nosin kode kendo negioro joote modhiyo ire mondo giwach ni, ‘Ok wadwar ngʼatni mondo obed ruodhwa.’
But his subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say ‘We will not have this man as our King.’
15 “Kata kamano, ne okete ruoth, kendo nodok dala. Kendo noluongo jotichne mane omiyo pesa, mondo oyud ni en ohala manade magiseyudo.
On his return, after having been appointed King, he directed that the servants to whom he had given his money should be summoned, so that he might learn what amount of trade they had done.
16 “Ngʼat mokwongo nobiro kendo nowacho ni, ‘Ruoth, silingʼ alufu achiel, osenywolo silinge alufu apar moko.’
The first came up, and said ‘Sir, your ten pounds have made a hundred.’
17 “Ruoth nodwoko ni, ‘Isetimo maber, jatichna maber! Nikech isebedo ngʼat mogen e gima tin ahinya, koro bed jarit mier madongo apar.’
‘Well done, good servant!’ exclaimed the master. ‘As you have proved trustworthy in a very small matter, I appoint you governor over ten towns.’
18 “Ngʼat mar ariyo nobiro kendo nowacho ni, ‘Ruoth, silingʼ alufu achiel osenywolo silinge alufu abich moko.’
When the second came, he said ‘Your ten pounds, Sir, have produced fifty.’
19 “Ruodhe nodwoke ni, ‘Bed jarit mier madongo abich.’
So the master said to him ‘And you I appoint over five towns.’
20 “Eka jatich machielo nobiro kendo owacho ni, ‘Jaduongʼ, silingʼ alufu achiel eri, ne asekane kapande kaboyogo gi nanga.
Another servant also came and said ‘Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put away in a handkerchief.
21 Ne aluori, nikech in ngʼat makoch. In ikawo gino mane ok ikano, kendo ikayo mano mane ok ichwoyo.’
For I was afraid of you, because you are a stern man. You take what you have not planted, and reap what you have not sown.’
22 “To Ruodhe nodwoke ni, ‘Abiro ngʼadoni bura koluwore kod gima iwacho, in jatich marach! Kara in ne ingʼeyo ni an ngʼat makoch, kendo ni akawo gima ne ok akano, bende akayo gima ne ok achwoyo!
The master answered ‘Out of your own mouth I judge you, you worthless servant. You knew that I am a stern man, that I take what I have not planted, and reap what I have not sown?
23 Marangʼo ne ok iketo pesanano e od keno, mondo kane aduogo, to ne anyalo kawe gi ohande.’
Then why did not you put my money into a bank? And I, on my return, could have claimed it with interest.
24 “Eka nowachone jogo mane ochungo kanyo ni, ‘Kawuru silinge alufu achiel ugol kuome kendo umi jalno man-gi silingʼ alufu apar.’
Take away from him the ten pounds,’ he said to those standing by, ‘and give them to the one who has the hundred.’
25 “Negiwacho ni, ‘Jaduongʼ donge en-gi silingʼ alufu apar.’
‘But, Sir,’ they interposed, ‘he has a hundred pounds already!’
26 “Nodwoko ni, ‘Awachonu ni ngʼato ka ngʼato man-go nomedne mi nobed gi mogundho, to ngʼatno ma ongego, kata mano ma en-go nomaye.
‘I tell you,’ he answered, ‘that, to him who has, more will be given, but, from him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.
27 To keluru wasikago ka mane ok dwar mondo abed ruodhigi mondo uneg-gi e nyima.’”
But as for my enemies, these men who would not have me as their King, bring them here and put them to death in my presence.’”
28 Bangʼ ka Yesu nosewacho mani, nodhi nyime, kochomo Jerusalem.
After saying this, Jesus went on in front, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Ka koro nochiegni chopo e miech Bethfage kod Bethania manie Got Zeituni, nooro jopuonjrene ariyo, nowachonegi niya,
It was when Jesus had almost reached Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, that he sent on two of the disciples.
30 “Dhiuru e dala man nyimu cha, to ka udonjo e iye, to ubiro nwangʼo nyathi kanyna mapok ngʼato oidho nyaka nene kotwe kanyo. Gonyeuru kendo ukele ka.
“Go to the village facing us,” he said, “and, when you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has yet ridden; untie it and lead it here.
31 Kapo ngʼato openjou ni, ‘Angʼo momiyo ugonye?’ Udwoke ni, ‘Ruoth dware.’”
And, if anybody asks you ‘Why are you untying it?,’ you are to say this — ‘The Master wants it.’”
32 Jogo mane oor motelo nodhi kendo negiyude mana kaka nosenyisogi
So the two who were sent went and found it as Jesus had told them.
33 Kane oyudo gigonyo nyathi kanynano, wuon nopenjogi, “Angʼo momiyo ugonyo nyathi kanyna?”
While they were untying the foal, the owners asked them — “Why are you untying the foal?”
34 To jopuonjre nodwoke mayot niya, “Ruoth dware.”
And the two disciples answered — “The Master wants it.”
35 Negikele ir Yesu, ma gipedho lepgi e diengʼe nyathi kanyna kendo negiketo Yesu kuome.
Then they led it back to Jesus, and threw their cloaks on the foal and put Jesus upon it.
36 Kane owuotho odhi, ji nopedho lepgi e yo.
As he went along, the people kept spreading their cloaks in the road.
37 Kane ochopo machiegni gi kama yo kadhogo e tiend Got Zeituni, oganda maduongʼ mar jopuonjre nochako pako Nyasaye gi ilo kod dwol maduongʼ kuom honni duto mane giseneno niya,
When he had almost reached the place where the road led down the Mount of Olives, every one of the many disciples began in their joy to praise God loudly for all the miracles that they had seen:
38 “Ogwedh Ruoth mabiro e nying Jehova Nyasaye!” “Kwe obedi e polo, kendo duongʼ obed e polo malo!”
“Blessed is He who comes — Our King — in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven, And glory on high.”
39 Jo-Farisai moko ei oganda nowachone Yesu niya, “Japuonj, kwer jopuonjreni!”
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him: “Teacher, reprove your disciples.”
40 Nodwoko niya, “Awachonu ni, kata ka dine gilingʼ, to kitegi biro goyo koko.”
But Jesus answered: “I tell you that if these men are silent, the very stones will call out.”
41 Kane osudo machiegni gi Jerusalem kendo moneno dala maduongʼno noywage,
When he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it, and said:
42 kowacho niya, “Ka dine in iwuon bed ni ingʼeyo tinendeni gima nyalo keloni kwe, to koro ogengʼore ne wangʼi.
“Would that you had known, while yet there was time — even you — the things that make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your sight.
43 Ndalo biro chopo ma wasiki biro goyoni agengʼa kolwori, kendo kunyoni bur koni gi koni.
For a time is coming upon you when your enemies will surround you with earthworks, and encircle you, and hem you in on all sides;
44 Ginigoyi piny, in gi nyithindi ei ohingani ok giniwe kidi moro ewi wadgi, nikech ne ok ingʼeyo kinde mane Nyasaye biroe iri.”
they will trample you down and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know ‘the time of your visitation.’”
45 Eka nodonjo e hekalu kendo noriembo oko joma ne uso gik moko.
Jesus went into the Temple Courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
46 Nowachonegi niya, “Ondiki ni, ‘Oda nobed od lamo;’to un to useloke ‘kar chokruok mar jomecho.’”
saying as he did so: “Scripture says — ‘My House shall be a House of Prayer’; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
47 Ndalo ka ndalo nopuonjo e hekalu. To jodolo madongo, jopuonj chik kod jotelo mag ji netemo mondo ginege.
Jesus continued to teach each day in the Temple Courts; but the Chief Priests and Teachers of the Law were eager to take his life, and so also were the leading men.
48 To ne ok ginyal yudo yo mar timo kamano, nikech ji duto norwako wachne.
Yet they could not see what to do, for the people all hung upon his words.
