Luke 19
1 Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.
uYesu akingila na kukila pakate pa Yeliko.
2 There was a man there, known by the name of Zacchaeus, who was a commissioner of taxes and a rich man.
apuo pealyale umuunhu juno atambuluagha Sakayi. juno alyale m'baha ghwa vasongesia songo kange muunhu ghwa vumofu.
3 He tried to see what Jesus was like; but, being short, he was unable to do so because of the crowd.
alyale ighela kukumwagha uYesu kuuti mwana ghwa ndani, neke akakunua kukumwagha ulwakuva alyale mfupi kange pe likale ilipugha lwa vaanhu.
4 So he ran on ahead and climbed into a mulberry tree, to see Jesus, for he knew that he must pass that way.
pepano akalongola luvilo kuvulongolo ku vaanhu, akatogha kukyanya mu n'kuju kuuti amwaghe, ulwakuva uYesu alyale pipi pikila isila ijio
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.”
un'siki ghuno uYesu afikile pala, akalola kukyanya akam'bula akati, “Sakayi ika ng'haani ng'haani, ulwakuva umusyughu lunoghile kulinda ku nyumba jako”
6 So Zacchaeus got down quickly, and joyfully welcomed him.
akavomba ng'haani ng'haani, akika na kumwambilila ku lukeelo.
7 On seeing this, every one began to complain: “He has gone to stay with a man who is an outcast.”
avaanhu vooni vakatile vaghaghile aghuo vaking'ulasya vakati, 'alutile kukumughendela umuunhu unya sambi.
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.”
uSa'kayi akimile akam'bula uMutwa kuuti, 'loola lubale lwa kyuma kyango nikuvapela avakotofu, kange nave umuunhu ghweni nin'kunyile ikinu, nikun'gomokesia kane'.
9 “Salvation has come to this house to-day,” answered Jesus, “for even this man is a son of Abraham.
uYesu akam'bula akati, 'umusyughu uvupoki vufikile mu nyumba iji, ulwakuva umwene kange ghwe mwana ghwa Abulahamu.
10 The Son of Man has come to ‘search for those who are lost’ and to save them.”
lwakuva umwana ghwa muunhu isile kulonda na kupoka avaanhu vano vasovile.
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.
ye apulike aghuo, akaghendelile kujova na kuhumia ikihwani, ulwakuva akale pipi na kuYelusalemu, voope vakasaghile kuuti uvutwa vwa Nguluve vulyale pipi kuvoneka ku lwakwasia.
12 He said: “A nobleman once went to a distant country to receive his appointment to a Kingdom and then return.
pepano akavavula akati, uNtwa jumonga akalutile ku iisi ija kuvutali kuuti pile uvutwa neke agomoke.
13 He called ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds each, and told them to trade with them during his absence.
akavakemhela avavombi vake kijigho, akavapela filundo kijigho akavavula akati, “muvombaghe imbombo ija kufulusia kuhanga pano niligomoka”
14 But his subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say ‘We will not have this man as our King.’
neke avaanhu vake vakan'kalalilagha pe pano vakavasung'a avomolua valute vamfuate na kukum'bula kuuti, “natulonda umuunhu uju atulongosie”
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.
akatile agomwike ye apelilue uVutwa, akavakemhela avavomvi vala vano akavalekile indalama vakemhelue vake, neke akagule vafulwisie ndani.
16 The first came up, and said ‘Sir, your ten pounds have made a hundred.’
ughwa kwanda akisa akati, “Mutwa ikipupa kyako kino ukamhelile kifulyisie ifighavo kijigho,
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.’
UNtwa jula akam'bula, uvombile vunofu uve uli mb'ombi n'nofu, ulwakuva ghwa kolopalile mu fidebe, nikupela kutema amapulo kijigho.
18 When the second came, he said ‘Your ten pounds, Sir, have produced fifty.’
ughwa vuvili akisa akati, 'Ntwa, ikipupa kyako kifulwisie ifipupa fihaano.
19 So the master said to him ‘And you I appoint over five towns.’
'UNtwa ujuo akam'bula akati, 'najuve tola uteme amapulo ghahaano.
20 Another servant also came and said ‘Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put away in a handkerchief.
nu junga akisa akati, Ntwa iji apa indalama jako, jino nikapinyile vunono mu kyenda,
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.’
ulwakuva nikoghwipe kuuti uve uli muunhu n'kali. ghuvusia kino nu vikile na kupeta kino nukavwalile.
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?
uNtwa ujuo akam'bula, 'ku masio ghako juve nikukuhigha, uve uli m'bombi m'bivi. ulyakagwile kuuti une nili muunhu m'bivi nitola kino nanivikile na kupeta kino nanikavwalile.
23 Then why did not you put my money into a bank? And I, on my return, could have claimed it with interest.
pe, ongo nikavikile indalama jango ku vano vifulusia, nneke kyande nigomwike nitole palikimo na sino sifulwike?
24 Take away from him the ten pounds,’ he said to those standing by, ‘and give them to the one who has the hundred.’
uNtwa akam'bula avaanhu valyale vimile apuo, 'mun'kunye ikipupa ikio na kukumpela jula unya fipupa kijigho.
25 ‘But, Sir,’ they interposed, ‘he has a hundred pounds already!’
vakam'bula kuuti Ntwa, umwene ali ni filundo kijigho.
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.
nikuvavula, umuunhu ghweni juno alinakyo ipelua kukila, neke juno nsila, kyope kino alinakyo kilipokua.
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.’”
neke avalugu vango ava, vano navakanoghilue nive mutwa ghwa vanave, mu valete pavulongola apa neke muvabude.
28 After saying this, Jesus went on in front, going up to Jerusalem.
akatile ajovile isio, akaghendelelagha kuluta kuvulongolo akatogha na kuluta ku Yelusalemu.
29 It was when Jesus had almost reached Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, that he sent on two of the disciples.
akatile avelelile pa Betigage, pipi nikidunda kya miseituni, akavasung'a avavulanisivua vake vavili.
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.
akajova akati, 'mulutaghe pakikaaja kya pavupipi. mungingile mukujagha inyana ja dogovi najighelile kujangalilwa taasi, mujavulile mujilete kulyune.
31 And, if anybody asks you ‘Why are you untying it?,’ you are to say this — ‘The Master wants it.’”
nave umuunhu ikuvaposia, 'kiki mukujavula?' mutisaghe, “uNguluve ali nuvufumbue najo.
32 So the two who were sent went and found it as Jesus had told them.
vala vano akavasung'ile vakaluta vakajagha inyana ja dogovi, ndavule uYesu vuno akavavulile.
33 While they were untying the foal, the owners asked them — “Why are you untying the foal?”
ye vikujavula inyana ja dogovi, avanyanajo vakav aposia “kiki mukujavula inyana ja dogovi iji?
34 And the two disciples answered — “The Master wants it.”
vakavamula vakati,” uMutwa ali nuvufumbue najo”
35 Then they led it back to Jesus, and threw their cloaks on the foal and put Jesus upon it.
pe vakan'twalila uYesu, vakatandika amheenda ghave pakyanya pa nyana ja dogovi, neke vakan'tosia uYesu pakyanya.
36 As he went along, the people kept spreading their cloaks in the road.
uYesu ye iluta avaanhu valyale vitandika amheenda ghave mu nsevo.
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:
akatile ikwika ikidunda kya miseituni ni kipugha kyoni ikya vavulanisivua, vakatengula kukumpaala uNguluve ni lisio ilikome vwimila ifidegho vuno valyavombilue.
38 “Blessed is He who comes — Our King — in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven, And glory on high.”
vakajova, 'aaghinwaghe u Ntwa juno ikwisa mulitavua lya Mutwa! ulutengano kukyanya, nu vwimike kukyanya.
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him: “Teacher, reprove your disciples.”
avafarisayi vamonga mu kipugha vakam'bula vakati, m'bulanisi, vajikisie avavulanisivua vako,
40 But Jesus answered: “I tell you that if these men are silent, the very stones will call out.”
uYesu akavamula akati, 'nikuvavula ndeve ava vijigha kimie amavue ghilijova amasio.
41 When he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it, and said:
UYesu ye alipipi nu mpulo akaghulilila,
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.
akati, nave ghwale ukagule nambe juve, mu kighono iki sino unoghile kuvoma neke uve nulutengano! neke sifisilue pa maaso ghako.
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;
ulwakuva ifighono fikwisa fino avalugu vako vijenga ililugu pipi nuve, na kukusyuta na kukughindilikisia kyhuma mu mbale sooni.
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.’”
vikukughwisia paasi uve na vaanha vako. navikulekesia nambe mu livue limo pakyanya ja linge, ulwakuva nukakagwile unsiki ghuno uNguluve alyale ighela kukupoka.
45 Jesus went into the Temple Courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
uYesu akingila mu nyumba ija kufunyila, akatengula kuvadaga vala vano vakale vighusia,
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.’”
akavavula,” jilembilue, inyumba jango jiliva nyumba ja kufunyila, neke umue musyetulinie kuva lipango lya vakunyi”.
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.
pe lino uYesu alyale ivulanisia ifighono fyoni ku nyumba ja kufunyila. aatekesi na vavulanisi va ndaghilo na valongosi vavaanhu valyalondile kukum'buda,
48 Yet they could not see what to do, for the people all hung upon his words.
neke navakakunua kujagha isila ja kuvomba ndikio, ulwakuva avaanhu voni valyale vikumpulikisia vunono.
