Luke 19
1 Jesus el utyak nu Jericho, ac fahsr sasla we.
Jesus entered Jericho and walked through the town.
2 Oasr sie mwet kol lun mwet eisani tax in acn sac, inel pa Zacchaeus, su sie mwet na kasrup.
A man was there named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector. He was very rich.
3 El srike elan wi liye lah su Jesus, tusruk ke sripen el mwet na fototo se, oru el kofla liyalak Jesus mweyen mwet uh arulana pus.
He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he couldn't see over the crowd.
4 Na el kasrusr nu meet ac fanyak nu ulun sak sycamore soko elan ku in liyal Jesus ke el fahsryak in acn sac.
So he ran ahead, and climbed up a sycamore tree to see Jesus as he passed by.
5 Ke Jesus el sun acn sac, el ngetak ac fahk nu sel Zacchaeus, “Zacchaeus, sulaklak fani, mweyen misenge nga ac muta in lohm sum.”
When Jesus got there, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly! I need to stay at your house today.”
6 Zacchaeus el sulaklak fani, ac el engan ma lulap in eisal Jesus nu in lohm sel.
Zacchaeus climbed down quickly and was so happy to welcome Jesus to his home.
7 Mwet nukewa su liye ma inge elos mutawauk in torkaskas ac fahk, “Mwet se inge utyak ac muta in lohm sin sie mwet koluk!”
When the people saw this they all complained, “He's gone to stay with such a sinner!”
8 Zacchaeus el tuyak ac fahk nu sin Leum, “Leum, nga ke fahk nu sum lah nga ac sang tafu mwe kasrup luk nu sin mwet sukasrup, ac nga fin tuh kiapwela kutena mwet ke ma lalos, nga ac fah akfalye nu sel pacl akosr yohk liki ma nga eisla.”
But Zacchaeus stood up and said before the Lord, “Look, I'm giving half of everything I own to the poor, and if I've cheated anybody, I'll pay them back four times as much!”
9 Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Mwet nukewa lohm uh langoeyukla misenge, tuh mwet se inge el oayapa ma in fwilin tulik natul Abraham.
In response Jesus said, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man has shown he is a son of Abraham too.
10 Wen nutin Mwet el tuku in suk ac in molela mwet su tuhlac.”
For the Son of man came to search for and save those who are lost.”
11 Ke mwet uh srakna lohng ma inge, Jesus el sifilpa fahkak nu selos sie pupulyuk. In pacl se inge el apkuran in sun acn Jerusalem, ac elos nunku mu Tokosrai lun God akuranna sikyak.
While they were still paying attention, Jesus told them a story for they were close to Jerusalem and the people thought that God's kingdom was going to become a reality right away.
12 Ouinge el fahk, “Oasr sie mwet leum su ako in som nu in sie acn loessula in tuh touyak el nu ke tokosra. Ac el akoo mu el ac sifil foloko nu yen sel tukun el walak uh.
“Once there was a nobleman who left home to go to a distant country to be crowned king there, and then to return.
13 Meet liki el som, el pangonma mwet kulansap singoul lal, ac sang nu sin kais sie selos ipin mani gold se, ac fahk nu selos, ‘Liye lah mea kowos ac ku in konauk in laesla ma inge ke nga ac som uh.’
He called ten of his servants, divided money equally among them, and told them, ‘Invest this money until I return.’
14 A mwet in facl sel arulana kwasel, na elos supwala kutu mwet utuk kas in som tokol ac fahk, ‘Kut tia lungse mwet se inge in tokosra lasr.’
But his people hated him, and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We won't have this man as king over us.’
15 “Mwet sac tokosrala, na el foloko. Na el sap mwet kulansap lal uh in tuku elan liye lah lupa su elos akyokyelik ke ipin mani el tuh sang nu selos ah.
After he had been crowned king he returned. He ordered his servants brought to him. He wanted to know what profit they had made by investing the money he had given them.
16 Mwet se oemeet ah tuku ac fahk, ‘Leum luk, nga laesla ipin mani gold se ma kom tuh ase nu sik ah ke ipin gold singoul.’
The first servant came in and said, ‘Lord, your money has earned ten times as much.’
17 Tokosra sac fahk, ‘Wo orekma lom. Kom sie mwet kulansap oaru! Ke sripen kom oaru ke ma srik, nga ac fah sot kom in leum fin siti singoul.’
‘Well done! You're a good servant,’ said the king. ‘Since you proved yourself trustworthy in a very small matter, I'm placing you in charge of ten cities.’
18 Mwet se akluo ah tuku ac fahk, ‘Leum luk, nga laesla mani se kom tuh ase nu sik ah ke ipin gold limekosr.’
The second servant came in and said, ‘Lord, your money has earned five times as much.’
19 Na tokosra sac fahk nu sin mwet sac, ‘Kom ac fah leum fin siti limekosr.’
‘I'm placing you in charge of five cities,’ said the king.
20 Sie pac mwet kulansap uh tuku ac fahk, ‘Leum luk, pa inge ipin mani gold se lom ah. Nga liyaung na ac nokomla ke sie ipin nuknuk.
Another servant came in and said, ‘Lord, look, here's your money back. I kept it safe, wrapped up in a cloth.
21 Nga sangeng sum mweyen kom sie mwet na upa. Kom eis ma su tia ma lom, ac kosrani ke ma kom tia taknelik.’
I was afraid of you because you're a hard man. You take what doesn't belong to you, and you harvest what you didn't plant.’
22 Na tokosra sac fahk nu sel, ‘Kom mwet kulansap koluk! Nga ac fah orekmakin kas lom sifacna in nununkekom! Kom etu lah nga mwet upa se, su eis ma su tia ma luk, ac kosrani ke ma nga tia taknelik.
‘I'll judge you by your own words,’ the king replied. ‘You know I'm a hard man, who as you say, takes what doesn't belong to me, and I harvest what I didn't plant.
23 Ke ouingan uh, efu ku kom tia filiya mani luk an in bank, na ke nga foloko nga lukun eis wi kap kac?’
Why then didn't you deposit my money in the bank, so that when I returned I could have had my money with interest?’
24 Na tokosra sac fahk nu sin mwet ma tu insac uh, ‘Eisla ipin mani gold sacn lukel, ac sang nu sin mwet kulansap se ma ipin mani gold singoul oasr yoro an.’
The king told those who were standing beside him, ‘Take the money away from him, and give it to the one who made ten times as much.’
25 A elos fahk nu sel, ‘Leum, oasr tari ipin mani gold singoul yorol!’
‘But master, he already has ten times as much,’ they replied.
26 Ac el topuk, ‘Nga fahk nu suwos, kutena mwet su oasr ma lal, ac fah itukyang pac kutu ma yohk liki nu sel. A mwet su wangin ma lal, finne ma srisrik su oan sel ac fah itukla lukel.
The king said, ‘I tell you, to those who have, more will be given; but those who do not have, even what they have will be taken away from them.
27 Inge, nu sin mwet lokoalok luk su tia lungse ngan tokosra lalos, usalosme ac onelosla nukewa ye mutuk!’”
And as for my enemies who didn't want me to be king over them, bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”
28 Tukun Jesus el fahk ma inge, el fahsr meet lukelos in som nu Jerusalem.
After he'd finished telling them this story, Jesus left for Jerusalem, walking on ahead.
29 Ke el apkuranyang nu Bethphage ac Bethany ke Fineol Olive, el supwala luo sin mwet tumal lutlut uh in som meet,
As he approached Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples, telling them:
30 ac el fahk nu seltal: “Komtal fahsrot nu in siti srisrik se meeto ingo. Ke komtal tufahna utyak nu we komtal ac liye soko donkey fusr kapir in acn sac su soenna oasr mwet muta fac. Tulalla ac usalu.
“Go to the village farther on. As you enter it you'll find a colt tied up that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
31 Fin oasr mwet siyuk lah efu komtal ku tulalla, komtal fahk mu, ‘Leum el enenal.’”
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Eltal som ac liye tuh ma nukewa oana ma Jesus el fahk nu seltal ah.
So the two disciples went and found that everything was just as Jesus had said.
33 Ke pacl se eltal tulala donkey fusr soko ah, mwet ma natu ah siyuk seltal, ‘Efu ku komtal tulala?”
As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 Ac eltal fahk, “Leum el enenal.”
The disciples replied, “The Lord needs it.”
35 Na eltal pwanla donkey fusr soko ah nu yurin Jesus. Elos filiya nuknuk lalos nu fac, ac kasrel Jesus elan sroang.
They brought the colt to Jesus. Then they threw their cloaks over it, and sat Jesus on its back.
36 Ke el som, mwet uh laknelik nuknuk lalos uh fin inkanek uh.
As he rode along, people spread their cloaks on the road.
37 Ke el tuku apkuran nu Jerusalem, ke acn se ma inkanek uh oatui ke Fineol Olive, sie u na lulap sin mwet tumal lutlut elos mutawauk in engan ac kaksakin God ke pusra lulap ke ma usnguk puspis ma elos wi liye.
As he approached Jerusalem, right where the road goes down from the Mount of Olives, the crowd of disciples all began shouting joyful praises to God at the top of their voices for all the miracles they had seen.
38 Elos fahk, “God Elan akinsewowoye tokosra su tuku Inen Leum! Misla in kusrao, ac wolana nu sin God!”
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord,” they shouted. “Peace in heaven and glory in highest heaven.”
39 Na kutu sin mwet Pharisee inmasrlon un mwet uh fahk nu sin Jesus, “Mwet Luti, fahk nu sin mwet tomom lutlut inge elos in misla!”
Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, stop your disciples from saying that.”
40 Ac Jesus el topuk, “Nga fahk nu suwos, elos fin misla, na eot uh ac fah mutawauk in wowoyak.”
But Jesus replied, “I tell you that if they kept quiet then the stones will shout!”
41 El tuku apkuranyang nu ke siti uh, ac ke el liye, el tung kac,
But as he got closer, he saw the city and wept over it.
42 ac fahk, “Saok kom in etu misenge ma ac ku in sot misla nu sum! A inge kom tia ku in liye!
“I really wish today that you, even you, had known the path that leads to peace!” he said. “But now it's hidden from your eyes.
43 Pacl se ac fah tuku ke mwet lokoalok lom ac fah raunikomla ac kuhluskomla, ac kosrekomla ac putati nu fom liki acn nukewa.
The time is coming upon you when your enemies will besiege you, building ramps to attack you, encircling you and closing you in from every side.
44 Elos ac fah arulana kunauskomla wi mwet nukewa su muta in pot fulat lom. Wangin sie eot ac fah oan yen se, mweyen kom tuh tia akilen pacl se God El tuku in tuh molikomla ah!”
They will smash you to the ground, you and your children within you. They won't leave one stone on another within you, for you refused to accept salvation when it came to you.”
45 Na Jesus el som nu in Tempul ac mutawauk in lusak mwet kuka uh,
Jesus entered the Temple and began driving out all the people trading there.
46 ac el fahk nu selos, “Simla in Ma Simusla mu God El fahk, ‘Tempul luk ac fah sie lohm in pre,’ a kowos ekulla nu ke sie acn in wikla lun mwet pisrapasr!”
He told them, “Scriptures state that ‘my house will be a house of prayer,’ but you've turned it into a den of thieves.”
47 Len nukewa Jesus el luti in Tempul. Un mwet tol fulat, ac mwet luti Ma Sap, ac mwet kol lun mwet uh elos kena unilya,
He was teaching in the Temple every day. The chief priests, the religious teachers, and the leaders of the people were trying to kill him.
48 tusruk elos koflana konauk lah elos ac oru fuka, mweyen mwet uh lungse lohng kas nukewa ke luti lal uh.
But they couldn't find a way to do it because everyone appreciated him, hanging on his every word.
