Luka 19
1 Lani n pendi Jesu den kua Jeliko dogu nni ki cuoni ki poandi u niinni.
And having entered, he walked through Jericho.
2 O ja den ye likani ki tie piado ke bi yi o Sake, ki tie bi lubigaaba yudanba siiga nni yendo.
And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. And he was the leader of the tax collectors, and he was wealthy.
3 O den moandi ki baa bandi yua n tie Jesu, ama wan koabi maama ke ku niligu mo nan yaba, waa den fidi ki baa la Jesu.
And he sought to see Jesus, to see who he was. But he was unable to do so, because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.
4 Lani o den sani ki ga liiga ki doni ya tibu n yi sikomoli ke o baa la Jesu, kelima o den baa tagi ki pendi lankane.
And running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree, so that he might see him. For he was to pass near there.
5 Jesu n den pundi li kani, o den yaadi ki diidi o ki yedi: “Sake, jiidi tontoni kelima li tie tiladi min tundi a denpo dinla.”
And when he had arrived at the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and he said to him: “Zacchaeus, hurry down. For today, I should lodge in your house.”
6 O den jaligi ki jiidi ki ga o cangu leni li pamanli.
And hurrying, he came down, and he received him joyfully.
7 Bi niba kuli den laa lani ki yenbidi ki tua: “O ja na gedi ki ban cani u tagibiadu daano: “
And when they all saw this, they murmured, saying that he had turned aside to a sinful man.
8 Sake den sedi O Diedo nintuali ki yedi o: “Canbaa, diidi, n baa pa a luoda n piama boagidima. N ya den janbi yua ki ga o kani bonlaba mo, n baa guani o la taalima naa.”
But Zacchaeus, standing still, said to the Lord: “Behold, Lord, one half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone in any matter, I will repay him fourfold.”
9 Jesu den yedi o: “Mi faabima kua ku naa diegu nni dinla, kelima one moko tie Abalaŋama puoliŋuanu.
Jesus said to him: “Today, salvation has come to this house; because of this, he too is a son of Abraham.
10 Kelima o Ja Bijua cua ki baa lingi ki go faabi yaaba n yaadi.”
For the Son of man has come to seek and to save what had been lost.”
11 Bi niba n den cengi laa maama, Jesu go den pua ba mi kpanjama, kelima o den nagi leni jelusalema ke bi niba tama ke U Tienu diema baa doagidi lanyogunu liga.
As they were listening to these things, continuing on, he spoke a parable, because he was nearing Jerusalem, and because they guessed that the kingdom of God might be manifested without delay.
12 Lanyaapo o den yedi: “O badija den gedi yaa dogu n fuagi, ki baan je li bali ki goa ki kpeni.
Therefore, he said: “A certain man of nobility traveled to a far away region, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Hali ke o daa gedi, o den yini o naacenba siiga bonba piiga ki yedi ba: 'ya kpendi mani ŋali min baa goa ki kpeni na.'
And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and he said to them: ‘Do business until I return.’
14 Ama u dogu nni yaaba n den nani o ki yuandi ki soani o puoli bi tondiba ke ban ban yedi: 'Tii bua ya ja n tie na n yaa die ti.'
But his citizens hated him. And so they sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this one to reign over us.’
15 To, bi den dini o badija yeni li bali, ke o goa ki kpeni o dogu nni. o den yini bi naacenba yaaba ke den teni i ligi yeni, ki baa bandi ban den kpendi ki ba yaala.
And it happened that he returned, having received the kingdom. And he ordered the servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called so that he would know how much each one had earned by doing business.
16 O nikpialo den cua ki yedi: 'N daano, a wula kujapienli cuani ti nuadi wula kujapiena piiga.'
Now the first approached, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned ten pounds.’
17 O bado yeni den yedi o: 'Li ŋani, n naacenŋamo a teni ke n fidi dugi apo li bonwaala nni, lanwani, n dini a li bali ŋan ya die dociami piiga.'
And he said to him: ‘Well done, good servant. Since you have been faithful in a small matter, you will hold authority over ten cities.’
18 O naacenlielo den cua ki yedi: “N Daano, a wula kujapienli cuani ti ñuadi wula kujapiena muu.”
And the second came, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned five pounds.’
19 O canbaa den o: “N dini a moko li bali ŋan ya die dociami muu.”
And he said to him, ‘And so, you shall be over five cities.’
20 Naacentoa moko den cua ki yedi: “N Daano, ga a wula kujapienli, n den gbini li li cabili nni ki bili.
And another approached, saying: ‘Lord, behold your one pound, which I kept stored in a cloth.
21 N den jie ŋa kelima a pia ki mabinga, a taani ŋan kaa bili yaala, ki yendi ŋan kaa buli yaala.”
For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.’
22 O bado den yedi o: 'o naacenbiado na, n cuo ŋa a maceli nni. A den bandi ke n tie ya nilo n pia ki mabinga, ki taani min kaa bili yaala.
He said to him: ‘By your own mouth, do I judge you, O wicked servant. You knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow.
23 Be nan teni ke ŋaa den bili n ligi ku ligidiegu nni ke n goakpenma min bi ga yi leni ti ñuadi?'
And so, why did you not give my money to the bank, so that, upon my return, I might have withdrawn it with interest?’
24 Lani o den yedi yaaba n ye likani: 'Ga mani o kani li wula kujapienli yeni ki teni yua n pia wula kujapiena piiga yeni.'
And he said to the bystanders, ‘Take the pound away from him, and give it to him who has ten pounds.’
25 Bi den goa ki yedi o: 'Ti Daano, o pia wula kujapiena piiga no.'
And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten pounds.’
26 O den goa ki yedi: 'N waani yi i moamoani ke bi baa pa ki pugini yua pia kuli, ama yua n kaa pia, bi baa ga o kani ba wan pia yaala.
So then, I say to you, that to all who have, it shall be given, and he will have in abundance. And from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
27 N yibalinba mo, bani yaaba n kaa den bua nni leni li bali yeni, cuani ba mani ki kpa ba n nintuali.
‘Yet truly, as for those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here, and put them to death before me.’”
28 Jesu n den maadi laa maama, o den ga liiga ki do ki caa Jelusalema.
And having said these things, he went ahead, ascending to Jerusalem.
29 Wan den nagidi Betifaje leni Betani ya dobila, ki kuu Olifie Tiidi juali, o den soani o ŋoadikaaba siiga bi lie ki yedi ba:
And it happened that, when he had drawn near to Bethphage and Bethania, to the mount which is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
30 “Suagi mani ki gedi ya dobiga n ye liiga na. Yi ya baa kua lienni ya yogunu, yi ba le ya ŋunbisaagili ke oba daa jagini li, ke li luo. Yin loti li mani ki cuani na.
saying: “Go into the town which is opposite you. Upon entering it, you will find the colt of a donkey, tied, on which no man has ever sat. Untie it, and lead it here.
31 Nilo ya yedi yi: 'Be n teni ke yi loti o?' Yin yedi mani daa: 'Ti Daano n bua o.'”
And if anyone will ask you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this to him: ‘Because the Lord has requested its service.’”
32 Bi tondiba yeni den gedi ki ban sua ke likuli tie nani Jesu n bi yedi ba maama.
And those who were sent went out, and they found the colt standing, just as he told them.
33 Ban den loti li ŋunbisaagili ya yogunu, li danba den yedi ba: “Be n teni ke yi lodi li ŋunbisaagili na?”
Then, as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 Bi den goa ki yedi: “Ti Daano n bua o.”
So they said, “Because the Lord has need of it.”
35 Lani bi den cuani o Jesu kani ki lu ki maani bi kpaliti opo, ki teni ke Jesu jagini.
And they led it to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they helped Jesus onto it.
36 Jesu den jagi ki suagi liiga, ke bi niba ladi bi tiadi u sanu nni.
Then, as he was traveling, they were laying down their garments along the way.
37 Wan den nagini jelusalema ki ji Olifie Tiidi juali, o ŋoadikaaba yaaba n yaba den ye leni li pamanli ki kpaani ki pagi U Tienu kelima ban laa ya banciama kuli po.
And when he was now drawing near to the descent of Mount Olivet, the entire crowd of his disciples began to praise God joyfully, with a loud voice, over all the powerful works which they had seen,
38 Bi den tua: U Tienu n seligi o bado Yua n kpendi wani o Diedo yeli nni. Mi yanduanma n ya ye tanpoli po. U Tienu yua n ye ŋali tanpolijoma n baa ti kpiagidi.
saying: “Blessed is the king who has arrived in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory on high!”
39 Ama falisieninba tianba yaaba n den ye ku niligu siiga den yedi Jesu: “Canbaa, fu leni a ŋoadikaaba ban suoni.”
And certain Pharisees within the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
40 Jesu den goa ki yedi ba: “N waani yi, bi yaa suoni, a tana baa kpaani.”
And he said to them, “I tell you, that if these will keep silent, the stones themselves will cry out.”
41 Jesu n go den nagini Jelusalema ki pugidi ki laa u, o den buudi upo
And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:
42 ki yedi: “A moko ya bi bani dinli daali ya bonla n baa teni ŋan baa mi yanduanma. Ama moala li nan duagi a nuni po.
“If only you had known, indeed even in this your day, which things are for your peace. But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43 Fala dana baa cua apo, a yibalinba baa kpa li nagili ki lindi ki cebini a ki baa ŋa,
For the days will overtake you. And your enemies will encircle you with a valley. And they will surround you and hem you in on every side.
44 ki bolini a, fini u dogu yeni leni a niba kuli, ki mudi a diena, ki kan ŋa baa tanyenli n ya maa li yali po. Lanikuli baa tieni kelima ŋaa den bani U Tienu n den cua ki baa faabi a ya yogunu.”
And they will knock you down to the ground, with your sons who are in you. And they will not leave stone upon stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
45 Jesu den kua U Tienu diegu luolu nni ki deli ki ñani yaaba n kuadi
And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold in it, and those who bought,
46 ki tua ba: “Li diani ki yedi: “N diegu baa tie li jaandieli, ama yinba yi teni ke li tua a sugida wuonkaanu.”
saying to them: “It is written: ‘My house is a house of prayer.’ But you have made it into a den of robbers.”
47 Daali kuli Jesu den bangi bi niba U Tienu diegu nni. Bi kopadicianba yudanba leni li balimaamaa bangikaaba leni bi yudanba den lingi ki ba kpa o.
And he was teaching in the temple daily. And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, and the leaders of the people were seeking to destroy him.
48 Ama baa den bani ban baa ga maama ki kpa kelima bi niba kuli den cengi o leni fangicianli.
But they could not find what to do to him. For all the people were listening to him attentively.
