Luke 19
1 Jesus and his disciples entered Jericho and were going through the [city].
Yesu nengila nalabha agati ya Yeliko.
2 There was a man [there] named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, who was rich.
Ao aliga alio munu umwi unu atogwaga Jakayo. Unualiga ali mukulu wa bhatobhesha unu aliga ali munibhi.
3 He tried to see Jesus, but he was very short, and there was a big crowd of people [near Jesus]. So he was not able to see him.
Aliga nalegeja okumulola Yesu ni munu wa namunaki, nawe natamibhwa okumulola okubha bhanu bhamfu okubha aliga ali munu mufui.
4 So he ran further ahead [along the road] that Jesus was walking on. He climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see Jesus.
Mbe, natangata nabhilima nalinya kwikuyu koleleki amulole, okubha Yesu aliga naja otula kunjila eyo.
5 When Jesus got there, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because [God wants] me to go [with you(sg)] to your house and stay there [tonight]”!
Omwanya gunu Yesu ejile akakinga anu aliga ali nalalamila ingulu, namubhwila ati, Jakayo tuka bhwangu okubha lelo kunyiile okuwoya ika ewao.
6 So he came down quickly. [He took Jesus to his house] and welcomed him joyfully.
' Natuka bhwangu, namukalibhisha kwa likondelwa.
7 The people [who saw Jesus go there] grumbled saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner!”
Abhanu bhona bhejile bhalola kutyo, nibhetongamila, nibhaikati, 'Ajokulibhatila omunu webhibhibhi.'
8 Then Zacchaeus stood up [while they were eating] and said to the Lord [Jesus], “Lord, I want you [(sg)] to know that I am going to give half of what I own to poor people. And as for the people whom I have cheated, I will pay them back four times the amount [I have gotten from them by cheating].”
Jakayo nemelegulu namubhwila Latabhugenyi, Lola Latabhugenyi inusu ye bhinu bhyani enigabhila abhataka, kalabha nasakuye omunu wonawona echinu, enimusubhisha kwiya kana. '
9 Jesus said to him, “Today [God] has forgiven [PRS] [you and the other people in] [MTY] this house, because you [(sg)] also [have shown that you have trusted in God as] your ancestor Abraham [did].
Yesu namubhwila ati, 'Lelo omwelulo gwakinga munyumba inu, kulwokubha unu ona nimwana wa Ibulaimu.
10 Remember this: [I], the one who came from heaven, came to seek and save [people like you(sg)] who have [gone astray from God, just like a shepherd who searches for his] lost [sheep].”
Okubha Omwana wo Munu ejile okuyenja no kukisha abhanu bhanu bhabhulile.'
11 They were coming near to Jerusalem, and the people who were [going with Jesus] who heard him say these things thought that as soon as [he got to Jerusalem] he would become their king.
Mbe bhejile bhwongwa ejo, nongesha okubhabhwila nasosha echijejekanyo, kulwokubha aliga ali yeyi na Yelusalemu, na bhene nibhetogelati obhukama bhwa Nyamuanga obhuja okubhonekana bhwangu.
12 [So] he told them this parable: “A prince prepared to go to a distant country in order that [the Emperor] would make him a king. [He intended] to return later.
Nabhabhwila ati, 'Mukulu umwi agendele muchalo cha kula abhone okulamila obhukama niwo alisubha.
13 [Before he left], he summoned ten of his servants. He gave each of them a coin worth three months’ wages. He said to them, ‘Do business with these coins until I return!’ [Then he left].
Nabhilikila abhagaya bhae ekumi, nabhayana latili ekumi, nabhabhwilati, mwibhushemo okukinga anu ndikjila.'
14 But [many of] his fellow-citizens hated him. So after he left they sent some messengers to tell [the Emperor], ‘We [(exc)] do not want this man to be our king!’
Nawe abhanu bhae nibhabhiililwa nibhatuma jintumwa bhagende okumulubha no kumubhwila ati, “Chitakwenda omunu unu achitunge.'
15 But [the Emperor] made him king anyway. [Later] the [new king] returned. Then he commanded that the servants to whom he had given the coins should be summoned {that someone should summon the servants to whom he had given the coins}. He wanted to know how much they had gained by doing business with the coins.
Mbe ejile amala okutunga nasubha ika nalagililabhaje abhagaya bhae bhanu ayanile jimpilya bhaje kwae, abhone okumenya ifaida inu bhabhwene kwo kwibhusha.
16 The first man came [to him] and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned ten more [coins]!’
Owo kwamba naja naikati, “Latabhugenyi, ilatili yao yebhuyemo ejindi ekumi.
17 He said to this man, ‘[You are a] good servant! [You have] done [very] well! Because you have [handled] faithfully a small amount [of money, I will give you] authority [to rule] ten cities.’
Omukulu oyo namubhwila ati, wakondya, awe mugaya wakisi. Kulwokubha wabhee mwiikanyibhwa kuchinu chitoto, outunga misi ekumi.
18 Then the second servant came and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned five more [coins]!’
Naja owakabhili naikati, Latabhugenyi ilatili yao yebhuyemo ejindi etanu.
19 He said to that servant similarly, ‘[Good! I will give you authority to rule] five cities.’
' Omukulu oyo namubhwilati, awe wona outunga misi etanu.'
20 Then another servant came. He said, ‘Sir, here is your coin. I wrapped it in a napkin and put it away, [so that nothing would happen to it].
Oundi naja naikati, Latabhugenyi lola ilatili yao, naibhikile mukenda,
21 I did that [because] I was afraid [of what you would do to me if the business failed. I know] you are a man who does not do foolish things with your money. You [even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.’
Okubha nakubhaile okubha uli munu mululu. Ousoshao chinu utateewo no ougesa chinu utabhibhile.'
22 The king said to that servant, ‘You wicked servant! I will condemn you by the very words [MTY] that you [have just now spoken]. (You know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]./Did you not know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]?) [RHQ] [You said] that I [even] take [from others money] that does not really [belong to me], [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.
Omukulu oyo namubhwilati,'Kwa magambo gao omwene enikulamula, awe omugaya omubhibhi. Waliga umenyele ati, anye ndi mululu na mukomee enigega chinu nitateewo no kugesa chinu nitayambile.
23 So (you should at least have given my money to money lenders!/why did you not [at least] give my money to bankers?) [RHQ] Then [when I returned] I could have collected that amount plus the interest [it would have earned]!’
Mbe, niki chinu chakuiingiliye okubhayana jimpilya jani bhanu abhebhushamo anye nakejile ninsanga ifaida?
24 Then [the king] said to those who were standing near, ‘Take the coin from him and give it to [the servant] who has ten coins!’
Omukulu nabhabhwila bhanu bhaliga bhemeleguyu ao ati, Mumuteshe chinu alinacho mumuyane owekumi.
25 They protested, ‘But Sir, he already has ten [coins]!’
Nibhamubhwila ati,”Latabhugenyi, omwene ali nalatili ekumi.”
26 [But the king said], ‘I tell you this: To the people who [use well what] they have [received], more will be given {[I] will give more}. But from the people who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away {[I] will take away even what they already have}.
Enibhabhwila ati, unu alinacho aliyanibhwa lindi, unu atanacho alitesibhwa na chinu ali nacho alitesibhwa.
27 Now, [as for] those enemies of mine who did not want me to rule over them, bring them here and execute them while I am watching!’”
Tali bhanu abhasoko bhani, bhanu bhatakwenda nibhatunge, mubhalete anu mubhete imbele yani.”
28 After [Jesus] said those things, he [continued on the road] up to Jerusalem, going ahead of his disciples.
Ejile Amala okwaika ejo, natangata nagenda Yelusalemu.
29 When they got near Bethphage and Bethany [villages], near the hill that is called {that they call} Olive [Tree] Hill,
Anu aliga nalebhelela Betifage na Bethania, ayeyi ne China Cha Mizeituni, natuma abheigisibhwa bhae bhabhili,
30 he said to two of [his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead [of you]. As you [two] enter [it], you will see a young animal that no one has ever ridden, that has been {someone has} tied up. Untie it and bring it [to me].
Naikati, mugende mumusi gunu guli ayeyi mbe labha mwengilamo omusanga echinyala Cha insikili chinu chichali kulinywako. Muchisibhule muchilete kwanye.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say [to him], ‘The Lord needs it.’”
Omunu akabhabhusha, kulwaki omuchisibhula? Mwaike ati Latabhugenyi nuwe kachenda”
32 [So] the [two disciples] went [to the village] and found the [animal], just like he had told them.
Bhanu bhatumilwe nibhagenda nibhasanga echinyala Cha insikili lwa kutyo Yesu aliga abhabhwilie.
33 As they were untying it, its owners said to them, “Why are you two untying that young animal?”
Anu bhaliga nibhachisibhula echinyala Cha insikili bhakanyacho nibhabhabhwila ati, “Kulwaki omuchisibhula echinyala Cha insikili?
34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.” [So the owners said that they could take it].
Nibhaikati, Latabhugenyi nuwe achikenele.
35 The [two disciples] brought [the animal] to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the animal’s back [for him to sit on] and helped Jesus get on it.
Niwo, nibhamusilila Yesu, nibhanja emyenda jebhwe ingulu ye chinyala Cha insikili nibhamwinyanja Yesu ingulu ye chinyala.
36 Then as he rode along, [others] spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him].
Anu aliga nagenda abhanu nibhanja emyenda jebhwe munjila.
37 As they came near [to Jerusalem], on the road that descends from Olive [Tree] Hill, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God loudly for all the great miracles that they had seen [Jesus do].
Mbe, Anu aliga aliga natebhela kucholomoko che China Cha Mizeituni, abhanu bhona na bheigisibhwa bhae nibhamba okukondelwa no kumukusha Nyamuanga kwo bhulaka bhunene, kulwe bhilugulo bhyona bhinu bhalolele,
38 They were saying things like, “May the Lord [God] bless our king who comes representing [MTY] him!” “May there be peace [between God] in heaven [and us his people]!” “May [everyone] praise God!”
nibhaika, “Nuwe owalibhando Omukama unu kaja kwi Sina lya Latabhugenyi! Omulembe mu lwile na likusho ingulu!'
39 Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples [for saying things like that]!”
Abhandi bha Mafalisayo mubhanu bhamfu nibhamubhwila ati, Omwiigisha, jibhisha abheigisibhwa bhao.'
40 He replied, “I tell you this: If these people would be silent, the stones themselves would shout [to praise me]!”
Yesu nasubhya naikati, 'Enibhabhwila ati, bhanu bhakajibhila, amabhui agaja omwaya.'
41 When [Jesus] came near [to] Jerusalem and saw the city, he cried about [its people].
Yesu ejile elila yeyi no musi nagulila,
42 He said, “[My disciples know what they need to do] to have peace [with God]; I wish that even today [the rest of] you people knew it. But now you are unable to know [MTY] it.
Naikati, kumba umenyele awe kulusiku lunu emisango Jo mulembe gwao! Tali woli jiselekelwe mumeso gao.
43 I want you to know this: Soon [your enemies] will come and will set up a barricade around your [city]. They will surround [the city] and attack [it] on all sides.
Okubha jinsiku jilikwijila any abhasoko bhao bhalikumbakako jingo ayeyi nawe, no kwiinda no kukuingilila okusoka bhulimbala.
44 They will [break through] the walls [and] destroy everything. They will smash you and your people/children. [When they finish destroying everything], there will not be one stone left on top of another. [All this will happen] because you did not recognize the time when God sent his [Messiah] to [save] you!”
Bhalikugwisha ansi awe na bhana bhao. Bhatalikusigila nolo ebhui kwi bhui lyejabho, kulwokubha utamenyele omwanya anu Nyamuanga anu endaga okukukisha.'
45 [Jesus entered Jerusalem and] went into the Temple [courtyard]. He saw the people who were selling [things there],
Yes nengila Mwiyekalu, namba okubhabhilimya bhanu bhaliga nibhagusha,
46 and he began to chase them out. He said to them, “It has been written {[A prophet] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be a place where people pray’; but you bandits have made it a cave where you can [hide]!”
nabhabhwila ati,” Jandikilwe, 'Inyumba yani ilabhaga yo kusabhilwamo, 'tali emwe mwaikolele nsenga ya bhasakusi.”
47 Each day [during that week Jesus] was teaching people in the Temple [courtyard]. The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and [other Jewish] leaders tried to find a way to kill him.
Kulwejo, Yesu aliga neigisha bhuli lunaku mwi yekalu. Abagabhisi bhakulu na bheigisha bhe bhilagilo na bhatangasha bha bhanu nibhenda okumwita,
48 But they did not find any way to do it, because all the people there listened eagerly to him [and would have resisted them if they had tried to hurt him].
Nawe bhatabhwene injila yo kukola kutyo, kulwokubha abhanu bhona bhaliga nibhamtegelesha muno.
