Luke 19
1 AND Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
Jesu abe njili ni ku hita mukati ka Jeriko.
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
Imi, kubena mukwame aba ku sumpwa Zakia. A bali mukulwana ku balihisi mi a baku fumite.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
A ba kulika ku bona kuti kanti Jesu njeni, kono kana aba kuwola kubona kwi shila lye chikwata, bakeñi cha kuti abali mufwihi.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
Mi cha tilila ku busu bwa bantu ni kukantanta kwi isamu lya sikomore kuti amubone, kakuti Jesu kwa bakuhitila.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
Mi Jesu ha sika hecho chibaka, cha lola kwiwulu mi cha muwambila kuti, “Zakia, suke hansi kakuhwela, mukuti sunu ni kekala kwi nzubo ya ko.”
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
Cha suka kapili, kwi za hansi mi chamutambula na tabite.
7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
Mi bantu haba bona vulyo, chi ba bilela, chiba wamba, “Cha yenda kukupotela mukwame wina chibi.”
8 And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
Zakia cha zimana mi cha wamba kwe Ireeza kuti, “Bone, Ireeza, ni bahi imbali yimwi ye ntuntu yangu kubanjebwe, mi heba kwina yenke uni bachengeleli ni chimwi, ka nimu bozekeze zone.”
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
Jesu cha wamba kwali, “Sunu i puluso yeza mwi nzubo yako, kakuti nawe u mwana wa Abrahama.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Mukuti Mwana a Muntu a ba kezi ku gana ni ku haza bantu ba zobete.”
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
Mi haba zuwa izo zintu, cha zwila habusu ku wamba mi na wamba che nguli, kakuti cha bena hafwihi ni Jerusalema, mi baba kuhupula kuti mubuso we Ireeza chiu bena hafwihi ni kwiza.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Cha wamba, “Zumwi kuluzubo lwa busimwine cha yenda kule mwi nkanda kukali wanina mubuso ni ku kabola.”
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
Cha sumpa i kumi lya bahikana ba kwe, cha baha ikumi lye pondo lya masheleni, mi cha wamba ku bali kuti, “Mu pange mu ku wuza ku lindila chi naka bola.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
“Kono ba mushobo wakwe chi ba mutoya mi chi ba tumina chikwata chabazimanini mwisule lyakwe, mi ni ba wamba kuti, “Kese tu siye uzu muntu kuti atu yendise.”
15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
Chi zapangahala haka bola hape, ha mana kuka wana mubuso, cha laela bahikana abo baba hewa masheleni kuti basumpwe kwali, kuti eze ezibe kuti kanti nji bukai ibaba wani yahewulu ha baba ku wuza.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
We ntanzi cheza kwali, na wamba kuti, “Ireeza, ha masheleni ako ni ba pangi ikumwi lya masheleni hewulu,
17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
Yo zwa kuluzubo lwa busimwine cha wamba kwali kuti, “Wa tenda hande, u mu hikana yo shiyeme. Mukuti uba sepahali kuzintu zi nini, ko be imu yendisi hewulu lyekumi lya mileneni.”
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
Mi wa bubeli cheza, na wamba kuti, Ma masheleni ako, Ireeza, aa panga i yanza lya masheleni hewulu.
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
“Yo zwa haluzubo lwa busimwine cha wamba kwali kuti, ko yendise i yanza lye mileneñi.”
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
Hape zumwi cheza, na wamba kuti, “Ireeza, masheleni ako aa, ni baabikite mwi njiila,
21 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.
kakuti ni ba ku tiite, mukuti u muntu yo bambamite. U hinda mosana uba biki, mi u sinza mosana u ba byali.”
22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Wa luzubo lya busimwine cha wamba kwali kuti, “kachi wambo chako ka ni ku atule, iwe muhikana mubi. U bezi kuti ime ni muntu yo bambamite, ni hinda ha ni sana ni ba biki, mi ni sinza mu ni sana ni babyali.
23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
Mi chinzi ho sana u ba biki masheleni angu mwi banka, kuti ime chi na kabola, nize ni ahinde ni chimwi hewulu?”
24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
Wa luzubo lwa busimwine cha wamba ku bose baba zimene, “Mu hinde masheleni ena kwali, mi mumu he ikumi lya masheleni,”
25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
Chi ba wamba kwali kuti, Ireeza, wina kale i kumi lya masheleni.
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
Ni wamba kwenu, muntu yese wina u swanezi kuhewa zingi, kono kwa kwe ya seena, niheba chi na cha kwete ka chi hindwe kwali.
27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Kono zila zangu, abo ba sa ni suni kuti ni ni bayendise, mu ba lete kunu mi mwize mubehaye habusu bwangu.”
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
Ha wamba izo zintu, cha zwila habusu, ku yenda kwa Jerusalema.
29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
Hati cho chunine ha fwihi ni Bertifage ni Betania, helundu li sumpwa Oliveta, cha tuma balutwana bobele,
30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
na wamba kuti, “Mu yende ha munzi uwo wi chilila, mi chi mwe njila bulyo, ka muwane i mbongolo i seni kwi chilwa. Mu yisumunune mi muyi lete kunu kwangu.
31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
Heba kwina yete ami buze, “Chinzi ha mu i sumununa? mu wambe kuti, Ireeza njo i suna.”
32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
A bo baba tumwitwe baba yendi ni kuka wana i mbongolo bo bulyo mwa ba wambili Jesu.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
Ha baba ku kwete ku sumununa i mbongolo, bene bayo chiba wamba ku bali kuti, “Chinzi ha mu sumununa i mbongolo?”
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
Chi ba wamba kuti, “Ireeza njo i suni.”
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
Chi ba kayi leta kwa Jesu, mi chi ba zala zizwato he mbongolo mi chi be tantika ho Jesu.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
Ha ba ba ku yenda, chi ba zala chizwato za bo mu nzila.
37 And when he was come nigh, even now 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 that they had seen;
Ha chunina ha chibaka cina zi samu ze olive, bungi bwa balutwana ci ba tanga ku luluweza ni ku temba Ireeza ka muhuwo mukando ka mitendo mi lontu yi baba boni,
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
ni ba wamba kuti, “Kutompwe simwine yo kezite mwi zina lye Ireeza! Kusanga ku be kwi wulu mi ikanya i be hewulu!”
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
Bamwi ku Bafalisi ba bena mu chikwata, chi ba wamba kwali kuti, “Muluti, kalimele balutwana bako.”
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
Jesu che taba cha wamba kuti, Ni mi wambila, heba aba ni ba ntontola, ma ñomwe ka a huwe.”
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
Cwale Jesu ha chunina ku muleneni, ca lila,
42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
na wamba kuti, Kambe u be zibite ze linu i zuba lya ko li ka kuletele ikozo, kono hanu zi patitwe ha menso ako.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
Mi mazuba ka akeze hewulu lyako, mi zila zako ka zi ku zimbuluse ni lukwakwa, mi zikuzimbuluke, ni kuku kakatiza imbali zose.
44 And shall lay thee even with 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.
Ka ba ku wisikize hasi iwe ni bana bako. Keteni ba siye ibwe hewulu lya limwi, mukuti kena u be zibi Ireeza ha ba kusuni ku kutusa.
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
Jesu che njila mwi keleke ni ku tandila hanze bonse baba ku wuza,
46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
na wamba ku bali kuti, “Ku ba ñoletwe, “I nzubo yangu ye ntapelo, kono inwe chi mwa yi tenda inzubo ya basa.”
47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
Mi Jesu aba ku kutaza izuba ni zuba mwi keleke, ba kulwana ba Mapurisita, ni bañola mane ni bakulwana be cisi, ba ba ku saka ku mwi haya.
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
Kono kana ba ba wani inzila ya ku tenda bulyo, mukuti chisi chonse ci bakumalele ku muzuwa.
