Lukha 19
1 U Yesu aingile akhagenda pagati pa Yeriko.
And entering in, he walked through Jericho.
2 Napo pale nu munu yumo alikhulambuliwa Sakhaye. Ale mbaha va vasongasogo khageale momafu.
And behold, there was a man named Zacheus, who was the chief of the publicans, and he was rich.
3 Anokhwagwa ukhumbona U Yesu munu vandakhikhi, alemilwe ukhumbona ulwakhuva avanu vodegile, umwene ale isupi fincho.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was, and he could not for the crowd, because he was low of stature.
4 Pwu, akhalogola nambivi khuvanu, akhatoga mbinkhi ambone U Yesu ulwakhuva U Yesu agendile injila ila.
And running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see him; for he was to pass that way.
5 U Yesu avileafikhe pala akhalola khukhiya akhambula, sakhayo ikha nambivi, ulwakhuva ilelo nilenda munyumba yako.'
And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him, and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down; for this day I must abide in thy house.
6 Akha gakha nambivi, akhikha akhamwambelila khuluhekhelo.
And he made haste and came down; and received him with joy.
7 Avanu voni vavilevalole incho, vakhakhuta, vakhata, 'Alutile khukhugendela umunu utulanogwa.'
And when all saw it, they murmured, saying, that he was gone to be a guest with a man that was a sinner.
8 U sakhai akhima akhanchova Ntwa, Lola Ntwa nusu ya khyuma kyango nikhuvapo avalemilwe, yegave nepokhile khumunu ikhinu, nikhumbunchekhencha mara khane. '
But Zacheus standing, said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wronged any man of any thing, I restore him fourfold.
9 U Yesu akhambula, elelo uvupokhi vufikhe mnyumba eye, ulwakhuva mwape mwana va Abrahamu.
Jesus said to him: This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Ulwakhuva umwana va munu inchile khulonda nu khuvapo kha avanu avayagile. '
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 Vavile vapulikhe ewo, akhedelela ukhunchova akhakhumya ikhihwani, ulwakhuva alepipi ne Yerusalemu, avene vakhata uludeva lwa Nguluve lukhegelile lulepakhuvonekha nambivi.
As they were hearing these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested.
12 Pwu akhavavula, “Ukhalani yumo alutile khukhilunga ikhyakuvutali akhambilile uludeva nu khukhilivukha.
He said therefore: A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Akhavilanga avavombi vamwene khinchigo, akhavapa ifineigo kumi, akhavavula, 'Mvombage iligunchi mpakha nelavanikhi ilivukha.'
And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them: Trade till I come.
14 Pwu avanuva mwene vakhambi pela vakhasuha avakhape tamu valute vakhoge nukhuta, satwinogwa umunu uyo atulogonchage.'
But his citizens hated him: and they sent an embassage after him, saying: We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 Pwu avileakhiliwikhe khukhaya wuvapile uvutwa, akhavavula avavombi uwuavalekhile indalama velagiwe khumwene, alumaye utengo ugwavapatile khumbo iyuvakhavokhavombelega.
And it came to pass, that he returned, having received the kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 Uvakwanda akhincha, akhanchova, 'Ntwa, ikhibina khyako kiholile amabina kumi khuvulogolo. '
And the first came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 Pwu ukalani akhambula, lunonu, ulembombi inonu. Ulwa khuva ukhale mwidekhinchi khumbombo endebe, wiva mwemelenchi khu vunchege khinchigo. '
And he said to him: Well done, thou good servant, because thou hast been faithful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities.
18 Uvaveli akhincha, akhata, 'Ntwa, ikhibina khyakho kholile amabina gakhano.'
And the second came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 Ukalani akhambula,'Tola uvuloleli khuvunchegi vukhano. '
And he said to him: Be thou also over five cities.
20 Nu yuge akhincha, akhata, 'Ntwa ulupa ulutalama lwakho, Ngalubinile vunonu mumwenda,
And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;
21 Ulwakhuva gadwadile uve ulemunu ikhali. Vutola khila ikhyuvekhile nukhubena ikhu suvyalile. '
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow.
22 Ukalani akhambula, 'Khumamenyu gakho nilhukhuhega, vivombi vembivi. Ukhalumayile ukhuta une numunu nkali, nitolaikhi sanivikhile nu khubena ikhisa nivyalile.
He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow:
23 Khikhi, sukhavekhe ulutalama lwago khubengi, wunikhilivukha nitole paninie nulutitu?
And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming, I might have exacted it with usury?
24 Ukalani akhavavula avanu avaemile pale, 'Pokhaga ubina mkhape ula unyamibina khinchigo.'
And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25 Vakhambula, 'Ntwa, umwene alenemibina khinchigo. '
And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds.
26 Nikhuvavula, khila avyalinafyo akhwogelenchiwa afinge, uvialivuvule, vitola nafilafila afialienafyo.
But I say to you, that to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: and from him that hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken from him.
27 Ulwakhuva avalugu vago, sawa khanogwa ukhata nive nkhu ludeva vavo, vag'eg'e apa mvabude khuvulogolo khulyune.”
But as for those my enemies, who would not have me reign over them, bring them hither, and kill them before me.
28 Avile anchovile ewo, alikhulule kuvulogolo alikhutoga ukhuluta ku Yerusalemu.
And having said these things, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Avile akhagelile khu Bethfage, na ku Bethania, pawipi nekhikyamba ikhya Mizeituni, akhava sukha avakuongi vavile,
And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethania, unto the mount called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
30 Akhata: 'Mlutage mumbunchege uvulipipi. wumwingile, mkha londage ikhyana khya ligodowe ikyusakhitogiwe. Muhudulage, mukhag'eg'e khulyune.
Saying: Go into the town which is over against you, at your entering into which you shall find the colt of an ass tied, on which no man ever hath sitten: loose him, and bring him hither.
31 Umunu agavavunche, 'khikhi mukhwavula? 'Munchova, “Ntwa ikhuyelonda.”
And if any man shall ask you: Why do you loose him? you shall say thus unto him: Because the Lord hath need of his service.
32 Avasukhiwe vakhaluta vakhayivona inyana ya ligodowe nduwvu U Yesu avavulile.
And they that were sent, went their way, and found the colt standing, as he had said unto them.
33 Vavilevikhwavula inyana ya ligodowe, avanyaligodowe vakhavavula, 'Khikhi mukhwavula inyana ya ligodowe ile?'
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them: Why loose you the colt?
34 Vakhanchova, 'U Ntwa ikhuyelonda. '
But they said: Because the Lord hath need of him.
35 Pwu vakhahelekha kwa Yesu, vakhatandikha imienda giavo pakyanya panyana ya ligodowe vakhantoncha U Yesu pakhinya.
And they brought him to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they set Jesus thereon.
36 Avileiluta avanuvalikhutandancha imienda ngivo musevo.
And as he went, they spread their clothes underneath in the way.
37 Avileikhwi mkhiyamba ikhiya Mizeituni, ikhipuga khoni ikhiya vakongi valikhululitela na khuginya U Nguluve khumamenyu amavakha, khumbombo imbakha inchovanchiwene,
And when he was now coming near the descent of mount Olivet, the whole multitude of his disciples began with joy to praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works they had seen,
38 Valikhula, 'Uyu usayiwa ukurudeva uviikuwineha khulitawa lya Ntwa! Ulukhugu khukyanya, nulunonehekhencho khukyanya!'
Saying: Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven, and glory on high!
39 Avafarisai palulundamano vakhambula, Ndemi, vanunanche avakhongi vakho. '
And some of the Pharisees, from amongst the multitude, said to him: Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 U Yesu akhanda, akhata, 'Nivavule, vagave ava vinunula amaganga giywegapa fincho. '
To whom he said: I say to you, that if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.
41 U Yesu avileakhegelile mumbo nchege akhalila,
And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:
42 Akhanchova mwalemulumaye nayumwe ikhigono ikhyilelo imbombo inchikhugegela uluhungu! Lino nchifikha mikhe pamikho gakho.
If thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are to thy peace; but now they are hidden from thy eyes.
43 Ulwakhuva ifigono fikhwincha udugu vakho alanchenga uvunehege panie nuve, nukhukhu naugula nukhukhudidelencha ukhuma khwoni.
For the days shall come upon thee, and thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and straiten thee on every side,
44 Vikhukhugwisya pasi uve na vana vakho. Savakhakhulekhele iliwe limo pakhya panige, ulwakha sawalumaye usikhikhi U Nguruve apwavakhanogwagwa ukhukhupokha.'
And beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children who are in thee: and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.
45 U Yesu akhigila Mtempeli, akhategula ukhuvamanyisya avagunchaga,
And entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought.
46 Akhavavula, “Yesimbiwe, “Inyumba yago yiva nyumba ya khuvisayila, 'Umwe mvekhile ukhuva lipagala lya vakhenchi.”
Saying to them: It is written: My house is the house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves.
47 U Yesu alikhumanyisya khila khigono Mtempeli. Avantwa na vamayisi va ndagilo na valogonchi va vanu vakhanogwa ukhumbuda,
And he was teaching daily in the temple. And the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people sought to destroy him:
48 Pwu vakhahemwa injila iya khugakha fwo, ulwakhuva avanu voni valikhupulikhencha nulukhala.
And they found not what to do to him: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
