Luke 19
1 Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.
Yesu ajhingili ni kup'eta pagati pa Yeriko.
2 There was a man there, known by the name of Zacchaeus, who was a commissioner of taxes and a rich man.
Ni apu pajhele ni munu mmonga jhaakutibhweghe Zakayo. Ambajhe ajhele mbaha ghwa bhatoza ushuru kabhele munu tajiri.
3 He tried to see what Jesus was like; but, being short, he was unable to do so because of the crowd.
Akajha ijaribu kumbona Yesu ndo munu kulola kwandabha jha umati bhwa bhanu, kwandabha ajhe mfupi ghwa kimo.
4 So he ran on ahead and climbed into a mulberry tree, to see Jesus, for he knew that he must pass that way.
Hivyo, alongolili mbio mbele sya bhanu, akakwela panani pa mkuyu ili abhwesiajhi kumbona, kwandabha Yesu akaribili kup'etela njela ejhu.
5 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.”
Wakati Yesu afikili mahali pala, akalenga kunani akan'jobhela, 'Zakayo, selelayi manyata, maana lelu lazima nishindayi munyumba jha bhebhe.'.
6 So Zacchaeus got down quickly, and joyfully welcomed him.
Akabhomba haraka, akaselela ni kun'karibisya kwa furaha.
7 On seeing this, every one began to complain: “He has gone to stay with a man who is an outcast.”
Bhanu bhoha bho bhabhuene aghu bhalalamiki, bhakajobha, 'Alotili kun'gendela munu mwenye dhambi.'
8 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.”
Zakayo akajhema akan'jobhela Bwana, Nusu gha mali jha nene nikabhapela maskini, na jhikajhiajhi ninyakili munu jhejhioha khenu, ni betakunkerebhusila mara nne.'
9 “Salvation has come to this house to-day,” answered Jesus, “for even this man is a son of Abraham.
Yesu akan'jobhela, lelu wokovu ufikili munyumba ejhe, kwandabha muene kabhele ni mwana ghwa Ibrahimu.
10 The Son of Man has come to ‘search for those who are lost’ and to save them.”
Kwandabha mwana ghwa munu ahidili kulonda ni kuokola bhanu bhabhajhaghili.'
11 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.
Bho ap'eliki aghu, ajhendelili kulongela ni kupisya mifano, kwandabha ajhele karibu ni Yerusalemu, ni bhene bhafikilireghe kujha ndo Mfalme bhwa K'yara ajhele karibu kubhonekana mara jhimonga.
12 He said: “A nobleman once went to a distant country to receive his appointment to a Kingdom and then return.
Hivyo akabhajobhela, 'Ofisa mmonga alotili nchi jha patali ili apokelayi ufalme ni kisha akerebhukajhi.
13 He called ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds each, and told them to trade with them during his absence.
Abhakutili bhatumishi bhwa muene kumi, akabhapela mafungu kumi, akabhajobhela, mubhombelayi biashara mpaka pa nibeta kukerebhuka.'
14 But his subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say ‘We will not have this man as our King.’
Lakini bhananchi bha muene bhan'dadili na hivyo bhakalaghisya bhajumbe bhalotayi kun'kesya ni kujobha, Twilondalepi munu ojho atutawalayi.'
15 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.
Ikajha bho akerebhwiki kunyumba baada jha kujha mfalme, akaamuru bhala bhatumishi bha abhalakili hela bhakutibhwayi kwa muene, abhwesiajhi kumanya faida jheleku bhajhikabhili kwa kubhomba biashara.
16 The first came up, and said ‘Sir, your ten pounds have made a hundred.’
Wa kuanza akahida, akajobha, `Bwana, fungu lya jhobhi libhombili mafungu kumi zaidi.'
17 ‘Well done, good servant!’ exclaimed the master. ‘As you have proved trustworthy in a very small matter, I appoint you governor over ten towns.’
Ofisa ojhu akan'jobhela, kinofu mtumishi rinofu. Kwandabha wajhele ghwe mwaminifu mu khenu kidebe, wibeta kujha ni madaraka juu jha miji kumi.'
18 When the second came, he said ‘Your ten pounds, Sir, have produced fifty.’
Wa pili akahida, akajobha, 'Bwana, fungu lya jhobhi libhombili mafungu mahanu.'
19 So the master said to him ‘And you I appoint over five towns.’
Afisa ojhu akan'jobhela, 'Tolayi mamlaka juu jha miji mihanu.'
20 Another servant also came and said ‘Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put away in a handkerchief.
Ni jhongi akahida, akajobha, `Bwana ejhe apa hela jha jhobhi najhitunzili kinofu mu kitambala,
21 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.’
Kwandabha natikili bhebhe ghwe n'kali. ghwibhosya khela kya ubhekilepi ni kuvuna khela kya ubelikupanda.'
22 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?
Afisa ojhu akan'jobhela, 'Kwa malobhi ghaku ghwe muene, nibeta kuhukumu, ebhe mtumishi n'nofu lepi. Ghwamanyili kujonene ne munu nenkali nitola kya nikibhekilepi ni kuvuna ambakyo napandilepi.
23 Then why did not you put my money into a bank? And I, on my return, could have claimed it with interest.
Basi, mbona ghwabhekilepi hela jha nene benki, ili nikakerebhukayi niitolayi pamonga ni faida?
24 Take away from him the ten pounds,’ he said to those standing by, ‘and give them to the one who has the hundred.’
Ofisa akabhajobhela bhanu bhabhajhemili apu, 'Munyakayi lifungu e'lu ni kumpela jhola mwenye mafungu kumi.'
25 ‘But, Sir,’ they interposed, ‘he has a hundred pounds already!’
Bhakan'jobhela, `Bwana, muene ajhe ni mafungu kumi.'
26 ‘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.
'Nikabhajobhela, kila munu jhaa jhe naku ibeta kupelibhwa nesu, lakini jhaadulili, hata khela kya ajhenaku kitolibhwa.
27 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.’”
Lakini abha maadui bha nene, ambabho bhilonda lepi nijhelayi mfalme ghwa bhene, mubhaletayi apa ni kubhakoma mbele jha muenga.”
28 After saying this, Jesus went on in front, going up to Jerusalem.
Baada jha kujobha aghu, akajhendelela palongolo akakwela kulota Yerusalemu.
29 It was when Jesus had almost reached Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, that he sent on two of the disciples.
Bho akaribili Bethfage ni Bethania, karibu ni kidonda kya Mizeituni, akabhalaghisya bhanafunzi bha muene bhabhele,
30 “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.
Akajobha: `Mulotayi mu kijiji kya jirani. Mkajhingilayi, mwibeta kun'kolela mwana -punda apandisibhulepi akona. Mumbopolayi, mundetayi kwa nene.
31 And, if anybody asks you ‘Why are you untying it?,’ you are to say this — ‘The Master wants it.’”
Kama munu abhakotili kwandajha kiki mwibhopola? 'Mujobhayi, “Bwana akandonda.”
32 So the two who were sent went and found it as Jesus had told them.
Bhala bhabhatumibhu bhakalota bhakambona mwana-punda kama Yesu kyaabhajobhili.
33 While they were untying the foal, the owners asked them — “Why are you untying the foal?”
Bho bhikambopola mwana-punda bhamiliki bhakebhajobhela, 'Kwandajha kiki mkambopola mwana punda ojhu?'
34 And the two disciples answered — “The Master wants it.”
Bhakajobha, `Bwana akandonda.'
35 Then they led it back to Jesus, and threw their cloaks on the foal and put Jesus upon it.
Basi, bhakampelekela Yesu bhakatandika ghobho sya bhene panani pa mwana punda ni kun'kwesya Yesu panani.
36 As he went along, the people kept spreading their cloaks in the road.
Bho ilota bhanu bhakatandasya maguanda gha bhene mu njela.
37 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:
Bho iselela kidonda kya Mizeituni, jumuiya jhioha jha bhanafunzi bhakajhanda kushangilila ni kun'tukusya k'yara kwa sauti mbaha, kwandabha jha mambo mabhaha bhaghabhwene,
38 “Blessed is He who comes — Our King — in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven, And glory on high.”
Bhakajobha, 'Ndo mbarikibhwa mfalme jhaihida kwa lihina lya Bwana! Amani kumbinguni, ni utukufu panani!'
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him: “Teacher, reprove your disciples.”
Baadhi jha Mafarisayo pa mkutano bhakan'jobhela, Mwalimu, bhagudamisiajhi bhanafunzi bha jhobhi.'
40 But Jesus answered: “I tell you that if these men are silent, the very stones will call out.”
Yesu akajibu akajobha, `Nikabhajobhela, kama abha bhakagudamayi, maganga ghibeta kukwesya sauti.'
41 When he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it, and said:
Yesu bhoaukaribili mji aulelili,
42 “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.
Akajobha, laiti ngaumanyi hata bhebhe, mu ligono e'le mambo ambagho ghibeta kuletela amani! Lakini henu ghakifighili pamihu gha jhobhi.
43 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;
Kwa kujha magono ghihida ambagho maadui bha jhobhi bhibeta kujenga liboma karibu ni bhebhe ni kukusyongoka ni kukukandamisya kuh'oma khila lubhafu.
44 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.’”
Bhibeta kubinisya pasi bhebhe ni bhanabhu. Bhibeta lepi kulekela hata liganga limonga panani pa l'enge, kwandabha ghwatambuili lepi wakati K'yara bho ijaribu kuokola'.
45 Jesus went into the Temple Courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
Yesu akajhingila mu lihekalu, akajhanda kubhabhenga bhala bhabhahemelisiaghe,
46 saying as he did so: “Scripture says — ‘My House shall be a House of Prayer’; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
Akabhajobhela, “Jhilembibhu, 'Nyumba jha nene jhibeta kujha nyumba jha sala, 'lakini muenga mujhifwanyili kujha lipangu lya bhanyang'anyi”.
47 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.
Henu, Yesu akajha ifundisya khila ligono mu hekalu. Makuhani bhabhaha ni bhalimu bha sheria ni bhalongosi bha bhanu bhalondeghe kun'koma,
48 Yet they could not see what to do, for the people all hung upon his words.
Lakini bhabhwesi lepi kukabha njela jha kubhomba naha, kwandabha bhanu bhoha bhajhele bha kamp'el'ek'esya kwa makini.
