Luka 19
1 Lani n pendi Jesu den kua Jeliko dogu nni ki cuoni ki poandi u niinni.
And he entered and passed 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 by name called Zacchaeus, and he was chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich.
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 who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little 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 on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that [way].
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 came up to the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for to-day I must remain in thy house.
6 O den jaligi ki jiidi ki ga o cangu leni li pamanli.
And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy.
7 Bi niba kuli den laa lani ki yenbidi ki tua: “O ja na gedi ki ban cani u tagibiadu daano: “
And all murmured when they saw [it], saying, He has turned in to lodge with 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 stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return [him] fourfold.
9 Jesu den yedi o: “Mi faabima kua ku naa diegu nni dinla, kelima one moko tie Abalaŋama puoliŋuanu.
And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also 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 that which is 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.
But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.
12 Lanyaapo o den yedi: “O badija den gedi yaa dogu n fuagi, ki baan je li bali ki goa ki kpeni.
He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and 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 having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.
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 sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this [man] should 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 came to pass on his arrival back again, having received the kingdom, that he desired these bondmen to whom he gave the money to be called to him, in order that he might know what every one had gained by trading.
16 O nikpialo den cua ki yedi: 'N daano, a wula kujapienli cuani ti nuadi wula kujapiena piiga.'
And the first came up, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.
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], thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in 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, [My] Lord, thy mina has made five minas.
19 O canbaa den o: “N dini a moko li bali ŋan ya die dociami muu.”
And he said also to this one, And thou, 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 came, saying, [My] Lord, lo, [there is] thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.
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 thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.
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 says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that I am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.
23 Be nan teni ke ŋaa den bili n ligi ku ligidiegu nni ke n goakpenma min bi ga yi leni ti ñuadi?'
And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and I should have received it, at my coming, 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 those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give [it] to him who has the ten minas.
25 Bi den goa ki yedi o: 'Ti Daano, o pia wula kujapiena piiga no.'
And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.
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.
For I say unto you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall 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.
Moreover those mine enemies, who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] 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 on before, going up 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 came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called [the mount] of Olives, 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 village over against [you], in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no [child] of man ever sat at any time: loose 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 any one ask you, Why do ye loose [it]? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.
32 Bi tondiba yeni den gedi ki ban sua ke likuli tie nani Jesu n bi yedi ba maama.
And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.
33 Ban den loti li ŋunbisaagili ya yogunu, li danba den yedi ba: “Be n teni ke yi lodi li ŋunbisaagili na?”
And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 Bi den goa ki yedi: “Ti Daano n bua o.”
And 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 having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on [it].
36 Jesu den jagi ki suagi liiga, ke bi niba ladi bi tiadi u sanu nni.
And as he went, they strewed their clothes in 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 as he drew near, already at the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began, rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power 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 the King that comes in the name of [the] Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Ama falisieninba tianba yaaba n den ye ku niligu siiga den yedi Jesu: “Canbaa, fu leni a ŋoadikaaba ban suoni.”
And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Jesu den goa ki yedi ba: “N waani yi, bi yaa suoni, a tana baa kpaani.”
And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.
41 Jesu n go den nagini Jelusalema ki pugidi ki laa u, o den buudi upo
And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it,
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.
saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, even at least in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes;
43 Fala dana baa cua apo, a yibalinba baa kpa li nagili ki lindi ki cebini a ki baa ŋa,
for days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall make a palisaded mound about thee, and shall close thee around, and keep thee 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 shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children in thee; and shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou knewest not the season of thy 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 that sold and bought in it,
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 ye have made it 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 day by day in the temple: and the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 Ama baa den bani ban baa ga maama ki kpa kelima bi niba kuli den cengi o leni fangicianli.
and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him to hear.
