Lukka 19
1 Jesu wakanjila alimwi wakali kwiinda mu Jeliko.
And he entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 Amulamnge kwakali mwaalumi wakalikutegwa Zekias wakali simutelo alimwi kali muvubi mupati
And behold, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich.
3 Wakali kweezya kubona kuti Jesu ngwa, pesi taakakonzya kumubona pe munkamu yabantu, nkaambo wakali mfwiifwi.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
4 Nkinkaako wakachijaanina kunembo lyabantu waakutanta mumukuyu kuti amubone, nkaambo Jesu wakalikwiinda munzila eeyo
And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 Lino Jesu naakasika aawo wakalanga mujulu mawo wati kulinguwe, “Zekiyasi, seluka chakufwambaana, nkaambo sunu ndiyookkala mung'anda yako.”
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.
6 Aboobo wakaseluka chakufwambaana akumutambula chakubotelwa.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Lino bantu boonse nibazibona eezi, bakanyontooka, kabaamba kuti, “Waya kuyooswaya mwaalumi ulazibi.”
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner.
8 Lino Zekiyasi wakayima wati ku Mwami, “Langa, Mwami, chisela chalubono lwangu ndilachipa bachete kuti na ndakeeneena kufumbwa muntu, ndilamujosezya kazipetedwe tume kumuulo.”
And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold.
9 Jesu wakati, “Sunu lufutuko lwasika kung'anda eeno, nkaambo alakwe ooyu mwana wa Abbulahamu.
And Jesus said unto him, Today is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Nkaambo Mwana wa Muntu wakasika kuzooyandula akufutula bantu basweekede.”
For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 Nibakachiswiilide eezi zintu, wakasngua kubaambila chikozyanisyo, nkaambo wakali afwiifwi a Jelusalemu, alimwi bakayeeya kuti bwami bwa Leza bwamba kuboneka mpawaawo.
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and [because] they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.
12 Aboobo wakati, “Umwi mwaalumi musongo wakayinka kunyika iilikule kuyotambula bwami mpawo akuyoboola
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Wakayita balanda bakwe bali kumi, mpawo wakabapa mali aalikumi akuti kulimbabo, 'Amuchite mabbindawuko mane ndikaboole.'
And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye [herewith] till I come.
14 Pesi basichisinyina bakalimusulide alomwi bakamutumina bantu bakamutobela, bakati, 'Tatuyandi pe kuti oyu waamlumi atutonge.'
But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us.
15 Zyakachitika naakaboola lubo, kali watambula bwaami, wakalayilila kuti bayitwe babelesi bakwe aabo mbakapede mali, kuti azibe kuti nimpindunzi njibakajana mukuchita kwabo makwebo.
And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.
16 Wakusanguna wakasika kunembo lyakwe wati, 'Mwami, mali yako yakazyala aambi mamali aalikumi.'
And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more.
17 Mwaalumi wabusongo wakati kulinguwe, 'Wakachita kabotu, omubelesi mubotu. Nkaambo wakasyomeka muzintu ziniini lino ndakupa manguzu aatla amadolopo aalikumi.'
And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 Wabili wakasika, wati, 'Mali yako, mwami, yakapanga aambi mali alimusanu.'
And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds.
19 Mwaalumi uulemekeka wakati kulinguwe, 'Iwe tola madolopo alimusanu.'
And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities.
20 Umwi alakwe wakasika, wati, 'Mwami, njeyi mali yako, ndakayibambide kabotu mumulembo,
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:
21 nkaambo ndakakuyoowa, nkaambo ulasisa, ulabweza chuwatabikide akutebula mpuwatabyalide.'
for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
22 Mwaalumi uulemekeka wakati kulinguwe, 'Amajwi aako ndilakubeteka, mubelesi mubi, wakalizi kuti ndilimuntu uusesa, ndilabweza nchindatabikide, akutebula nchindatabyalide.
He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow;
23 Wakalumwayi nuwakatabikide mali yangu mubbanka, kuchitila kuti nindalikuyooboola ndalikuzoyijana kiili yaba aampindu?'
then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest?
24 Mwaalumi uulemekeka wakati kuli aabo bakayimvwi kumbali, 'Amumunyanzye mali yomwe eeyo mupe ooyo uulamamali aalikumi.'
And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds.
25 Bakati kulingwe, 'Mwami, ulamamali aalikumi kale.'
And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.
26 'Ndati kulindinywe, woonse uulazyo, uyoopegwa zimbi, pesi ooyo uutakwe, acheecho nchali aacho uyoonyanzigwa.
I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 Pesi aaba basinkondoma, aabo bakatalikuyanda kuti ndibatonge, amubeete aano mubajaye kunembo lyangu.'”
Howbeit these mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 Nakaamba zintu eezi, wakayinda kaya ku Jelusalemu.
And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Kwakachitika kuti naakasika afwiifwi abusena bwa Betipeji a Betani, kukalundu kakalikutegwa Oliveti, wakatuma basikwiiya bakwe babili,
And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,
30 kati, “Amunjile mugunzi lilikunembo. Mwanjila biyo mulajana mwana wadonki uutana kutantwa. Mumwaangunune mumweete kulindime.
saying, Go your way into the village over against [you]; in the which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him.
31 Na kwaba utamubuzye kuti, 'Nkaambo nzi nimumwaangununa?' mukatedi, 'Mwami ulamuyanda.'”
And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him.
32 Aabo bakatumwa bakamujana mwana wa donki mbuli mbakabalayilide Jesu.
And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them.
33 Nibakali kumwaangununa mwana wadonki, bani bawe bakati, “Nkaambo nzi nimwaangununa mwana wa donki ooyo?”
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 Bakati, “Mwami ulamuyanda.”
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 Mpawo bakamweeta kuli Jesu, mpawo bakawaala majansi aabo aatala amwana wa donki mpawo bakakkazika Jesu aataka.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon.
36 Naakalikuyabweenda bakalikuya buyala majansi aabo munzila.
And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.
37 Naakali waamba kusika abusena aawo Kalundu kama Oliva mpuka nkunuka, mbunga yoonse yabasikwiiya yakasanguna kubotelwa akulumbayizya Leza ajwi pati nkaambo kamilimu mipati njibakali babona,
And as he was now drawing nigh, [even] 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;
38 kabati, “Ulilongezezegwe mwami uuza muzina lya Mwami! Luumuno kujulu abulemu kumajulu!”
saying, Blessed [is] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Bamwi ba Falisi bakali munkamu bakati kuli ngwe, “Muyiisyi bakkabule basikwiiya bako.”
And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Jesu wakasandula wati, “Kanskinga aaba baluumwine, mabwe alikunoompolola.”
And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
41 Jesu naakasika mudolopo, wakalila aatala andilyo,
And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 kati, “Kansinga wali waziba mubuzuba oobu, ayebo, zintu zikweetela luumuno! Pesi lino zilisisidwe kulinduwe.
saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 Nkaambo mazuba ayoosika alinduwe, aawo basinkondonyokwe nibayoyaka kaanda akukuzyunguluka akukusyanikizya kuzwa kumabazu woonse.
For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 Bayooku wisizya aansi abana bako. Taakwe nobayoosiya niliba bbwe aatala alimwi, nkaambo taakwe nuwakachibona Leza naakalikweezya kukufutula.”
and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45 Jesu wakanjila muchikombelo akutanda boonse nakali kuuzya,
And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold,
46 wakati kulombabo, “Kulilembedwe kuti, 'Ng'anda kyangu iyoba ng'anda yakukombela,' pesi mwayisandula kba ng'anda yabasikubba.”
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 Aboobo Jesu wakalikuyiisya abuzuba muchikombelo. Bapayizi bapati abalembi bamulawu abazululi babanti bakali kuyanda kumujaya,
And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him:
48 pesi taakwe nibakajana nzila yakuzichita, nkaambo bantu boonse bakali kumuswiilila loko.
and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.
