Luka 19
1 Jesu abe njili ni ku hita mukati ka Jeriko.
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 Imi, kubena mukwame aba ku sumpwa Zakia. A bali mukulwana ku balihisi mi a baku fumite.
There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 A ba kulika ku bona kuti kanti Jesu njeni, kono kana aba kuwola kubona kwi shila lye chikwata, bakeñi cha kuti abali mufwihi.
He was trying to see who Yeshua was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 Mi cha tilila ku busu bwa bantu ni kukantanta kwi isamu lya sikomore kuti amubone, kakuti Jesu kwa bakuhitila.
He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
5 Mi Jesu ha sika hecho chibaka, cha lola kwiwulu mi cha muwambila kuti, “Zakia, suke hansi kakuhwela, mukuti sunu ni kekala kwi nzubo ya ko.”
When Yeshua 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 Cha suka kapili, kwi za hansi mi chamutambula na tabite.
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Mi bantu haba bona vulyo, chi ba bilela, chiba wamba, “Cha yenda kukupotela mukwame wina chibi.”
When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
8 Zakia cha zimana mi cha wamba kwe Ireeza kuti, “Bone, Ireeza, ni bahi imbali yimwi ye ntuntu yangu kubanjebwe, mi heba kwina yenke uni bachengeleli ni chimwi, ka nimu bozekeze zone.”
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 cha wamba kwali, “Sunu i puluso yeza mwi nzubo yako, kakuti nawe u mwana wa Abrahama.
Yeshua said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Mukuti Mwana a Muntu a ba kezi ku gana ni ku haza bantu ba zobete.”
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
11 Mi haba zuwa izo zintu, cha zwila habusu ku wamba mi na wamba che nguli, kakuti cha bena hafwihi ni Jerusalema, mi baba kuhupula kuti mubuso we Ireeza chiu bena hafwihi ni kwiza.
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 Cha wamba, “Zumwi kuluzubo lwa busimwine cha yenda kule mwi nkanda kukali wanina mubuso ni ku kabola.”
He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
13 Cha sumpa i kumi lya bahikana ba kwe, cha baha ikumi lye pondo lya masheleni, mi cha wamba ku bali kuti, “Mu pange mu ku wuza ku lindila chi naka bola.
He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
14 “Kono ba mushobo wakwe chi ba mutoya mi chi ba tumina chikwata chabazimanini mwisule lyakwe, mi ni ba wamba kuti, “Kese tu siye uzu muntu kuti atu yendise.”
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
15 Chi zapangahala haka bola hape, ha mana kuka wana mubuso, cha laela bahikana abo baba hewa masheleni kuti basumpwe kwali, kuti eze ezibe kuti kanti nji bukai ibaba wani yahewulu ha baba ku wuza.
“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 We ntanzi cheza kwali, na wamba kuti, “Ireeza, ha masheleni ako ni ba pangi ikumwi lya masheleni hewulu,
The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
17 Yo zwa kuluzubo lwa busimwine cha wamba kwali kuti, “Wa tenda hande, u mu hikana yo shiyeme. Mukuti uba sepahali kuzintu zi nini, ko be imu yendisi hewulu lyekumi lya mileneni.”
“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 Mi wa bubeli cheza, na wamba kuti, Ma masheleni ako, Ireeza, aa panga i yanza lya masheleni hewulu.
“The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
19 “Yo zwa haluzubo lwa busimwine cha wamba kwali kuti, ko yendise i yanza lye mileneñi.”
“So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
20 Hape zumwi cheza, na wamba kuti, “Ireeza, masheleni ako aa, ni baabikite mwi njiila,
Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 kakuti ni ba ku tiite, mukuti u muntu yo bambamite. U hinda mosana uba biki, mi u sinza mosana u ba byali.”
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 Wa luzubo lya busimwine cha wamba kwali kuti, “kachi wambo chako ka ni ku atule, iwe muhikana mubi. U bezi kuti ime ni muntu yo bambamite, ni hinda ha ni sana ni ba biki, mi ni sinza mu ni sana ni babyali.
“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 Mi chinzi ho sana u ba biki masheleni angu mwi banka, kuti ime chi na kabola, nize ni ahinde ni chimwi hewulu?”
Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
24 Wa luzubo lwa busimwine cha wamba ku bose baba zimene, “Mu hinde masheleni ena kwali, mi mumu he ikumi lya masheleni,”
He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
25 Chi ba wamba kwali kuti, Ireeza, wina kale i kumi lya masheleni.
“They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
26 Ni wamba kwenu, muntu yese wina u swanezi kuhewa zingi, kono kwa kwe ya seena, niheba chi na cha kwete ka chi hindwe kwali.
‘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 Kono zila zangu, abo ba sa ni suni kuti ni ni bayendise, mu ba lete kunu mi mwize mubehaye habusu bwangu.”
But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
28 Ha wamba izo zintu, cha zwila habusu, ku yenda kwa Jerusalema.
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Hati cho chunine ha fwihi ni Bertifage ni Betania, helundu li sumpwa Oliveta, cha tuma balutwana bobele,
When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
30 na wamba kuti, “Mu yende ha munzi uwo wi chilila, mi chi mwe njila bulyo, ka muwane i mbongolo i seni kwi chilwa. Mu yisumunune mi muyi lete kunu kwangu.
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 Heba kwina yete ami buze, “Chinzi ha mu i sumununa? mu wambe kuti, Ireeza njo i suna.”
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 A bo baba tumwitwe baba yendi ni kuka wana i mbongolo bo bulyo mwa ba wambili Jesu.
Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
33 Ha baba ku kwete ku sumununa i mbongolo, bene bayo chiba wamba ku bali kuti, “Chinzi ha mu sumununa i mbongolo?”
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 Chi ba wamba kuti, “Ireeza njo i suni.”
They said, “The Lord needs it.”
35 Chi ba kayi leta kwa Jesu, mi chi ba zala zizwato he mbongolo mi chi be tantika ho Jesu.
Then they brought it to Yeshua. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Yeshua on them.
36 Ha ba ba ku yenda, chi ba zala chizwato za bo mu nzila.
As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
37 Ha chunina ha chibaka cina zi samu ze olive, bungi bwa balutwana ci ba tanga ku luluweza ni ku temba Ireeza ka muhuwo mukando ka mitendo mi lontu yi baba boni,
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 ni ba wamba kuti, “Kutompwe simwine yo kezite mwi zina lye Ireeza! Kusanga ku be kwi wulu mi ikanya i be hewulu!”
saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
39 Bamwi ku Bafalisi ba bena mu chikwata, chi ba wamba kwali kuti, “Muluti, kalimele balutwana bako.”
Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Rabbi, rebuke your disciples!”
40 Jesu che taba cha wamba kuti, Ni mi wambila, heba aba ni ba ntontola, ma ñomwe ka a huwe.”
He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
41 Cwale Jesu ha chunina ku muleneni, ca lila,
When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 na wamba kuti, Kambe u be zibite ze linu i zuba lya ko li ka kuletele ikozo, kono hanu zi patitwe ha menso ako.
saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 Mi mazuba ka akeze hewulu lyako, mi zila zako ka zi ku zimbuluse ni lukwakwa, mi zikuzimbuluke, ni kuku kakatiza imbali zose.
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 Ka ba ku wisikize hasi iwe ni bana bako. Keteni ba siye ibwe hewulu lya limwi, mukuti kena u be zibi Ireeza ha ba kusuni ku kutusa.
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 che njila mwi keleke ni ku tandila hanze bonse baba ku wuza,
He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
46 na wamba ku bali kuti, “Ku ba ñoletwe, “I nzubo yangu ye ntapelo, kono inwe chi mwa yi tenda inzubo ya basa.”
saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
47 Mi Jesu aba ku kutaza izuba ni zuba mwi keleke, ba kulwana ba Mapurisita, ni bañola mane ni bakulwana be cisi, ba ba ku saka ku mwi haya.
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 Kono kana ba ba wani inzila ya ku tenda bulyo, mukuti chisi chonse ci bakumalele ku muzuwa.
They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
