Luka 19
1 Lani n pendi Jesu den kua Jeliko dogu nni ki cuoni ki poandi u niinni.
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 O ja den ye likani ki tie piado ke bi yi o Sake, ki tie bi lubigaaba yudanba siiga nni yendo.
There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, 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.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
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.
He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to 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.”
When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
6 O den jaligi ki jiidi ki ga o cangu leni li pamanli.
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Bi niba kuli den laa lani ki yenbidi ki tua: “O ja na gedi ki ban cani u tagibiadu daano: “
When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
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.”
Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
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 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 came to seek and to save that which was 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 heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
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 nobleman went into a far country 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.'
He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
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 envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man 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.
“When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
16 O nikpialo den cua ki yedi: 'N daano, a wula kujapienli cuani ti nuadi wula kujapiena piiga.'
The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more 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.'
“He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
18 O naacenlielo den cua ki yedi: “N Daano, a wula kujapienli cuani ti ñuadi wula kujapiena muu.”
“The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
19 O canbaa den o: “N dini a moko li bali ŋan ya die dociami muu.”
“So he said to him, ‘And you are to 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.
Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
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 exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t 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, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow.
23 Be nan teni ke ŋaa den bili n ligi ku ligidiegu nni ke n goakpenma min bi ga yi leni ti ñuadi?'
Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
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.'
He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him 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.'
“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 tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away 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.
But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
28 Jesu n den maadi laa maama, o den ga liiga ki do ki caa Jelusalema.
Having said these things, he went on ahead, 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:
When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that 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 your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
31 Nilo ya yedi yi: 'Be n teni ke yi loti o?' Yin yedi mani daa: 'Ti Daano n bua o.'”
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Bi tondiba yeni den gedi ki ban sua ke likuli tie nani Jesu n bi yedi ba maama.
Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
33 Ban den loti li ŋunbisaagili ya yogunu, li danba den yedi ba: “Be n teni ke yi lodi li ŋunbisaagili na?”
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.”
They said, “The Lord needs it.”
35 Lani bi den cuani o Jesu kani ki lu ki maani bi kpaliti opo, ki teni ke Jesu jagini.
Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
36 Jesu den jagi ki suagi liiga, ke bi niba ladi bi tiadi u sanu nni.
As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
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.
As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty 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 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.”
Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
40 Jesu den goa ki yedi ba: “N waani yi, bi yaa suoni, a tana baa kpaani.”
He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
41 Jesu n go den nagini Jelusalema ki pugidi ki laa u, o den buudi upo
When he came near, he saw the city and 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 you, even you, had known today the things which belong to 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 come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, 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 will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
45 Jesu den kua U Tienu diegu luolu nni ki deli ki ñani yaaba n kuadi
He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold 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 you 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.
He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among 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.
They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
