Luka 19
1 A Yeshu gubhajinjile nshilambo sha ku Yeliko, nipita pakatipakati ja shene shilambosho.
And he entered and passed through Jericho.
2 Bhashinkupagwa bhandu bhamo pashilambopo bhashemwaga a Shakayo, bhakulungwa bha bhaakamula bhaaliji tajili.
And behold, [there was] a man by name called Zacchaeus, and he was chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich.
3 Bhatendaga pinga bhaabhone a Yeshu shibhali, ikabheje kwa ligongo lya lugwinjili lwa bhandu na pabha bhashinkubha bhabhaupi, bhangakombola kwaabhona.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.
4 Kwa nneyo, kwa lubhilo, gubhalongolele, gubhakwelile munkongo gwankulungwa nkupinga bhaabhone a Yeshu, pabha shibhapite mpanda gogo.
And running on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that [way].
5 Bhai a Yeshu bhakaisheje penepo, gubhalolile kunani gubhashite, “A Shakayo, ntulushe shangu, pabha lelo shindame kunngwenu.”
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 A Shakayo shangupe gubhatulwishe, gubhaaposhele kunngwabho akuno bhalikwinonyela kaje.
And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy.
7 Bhandu bhowe bhakagabhonanjeje genego, gubhatandubhenje kuinginika bhalinkutinji, “Bhashikwenda tama kuka mundu akwete yambi.”
And all murmured when they saw [it], saying, He has turned in to lodge with a sinful man.
8 Ikabheje a Shakayo gubhajimi mmujo, gubhaabhalanjile a Yeshu, “Mmakulungwa nnole! Nne shing'abhanye mali gangu pakatipakati naapanganje bhaalaga, na ibhaga nintolele mundu shindu shoshowe kwa unami, shinimmujishiye pasheshe.”
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 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “Lelo ntapulo ujinjile nnyumba muno, pabha jweneju nneila peila ni jwa shipinga sha a Bhulaimu.
And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
10 Pabha Mwana juka Mundu kwaishe kuloleya na tapula bhaobhilenje.”
for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.
11 Bhandu bhatendaga kwaapilikanishiyanga a Yeshu, kwa nneyo gubhaatanjilenje lutango luna, bhashinkutenda nneyo pabha bhatendaga bhandishila ku Yelushalemu na bhandunji pubhaganishiyangaga kuti Upalume gwa a Nnungu unakwiya malanga gogo.
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 Gubhaalugulilenje, “Bhashinkupagwa bhandu bhamo bha shipinga sha upalume, bhashinkwenda kushilambo sha talika nkupinga bhakapegwe ukulungwa bhabhe a mpalume na bhabhuje.
He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.
13 Bhai, bhakanabhe jabhula bhashinkwaashemanga bhatumishi bhabho kumi, nikwapanganga kila mundu lipungu lya ela, bhalinkuti, ‘Ntendelanje upindi mpaka pushimuje.’
And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.
14 Ikabheje bhashilambo ajabhonji bhatendaga kwaapatanga, gubhaatumilenje mitume bhakagulanje, bhakalugulanje kuti, ‘Tukakwaapinga abha bhatutagwale.’”
But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this [man] should reign over us.
15 “Bhakapateje upalume gubhabhujile kumui, na shangupe gubhalajile bhatumishi bhala bhashemwanje, nkupinga bhamumanye kila mundu shapatile.
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 Ntumishi jwa ntai gwaishe nigwashite, ‘Mmakulungwa ela imwambele ila, ipatikene pwaida likumi limo.’
And the first came up, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.
17 Na bhalabho gubhammalanjile, ‘Utendile ukoto, ugwe ntumishi nnguja. Pabha ushikulupalika pa shindu shishoko, shinikupe ukulungwa gwa ilambo kumi!’
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 Ntumishi jwa bhili gwaishe, nigwashite, ‘Mmakulungwa ela imwambele ila, mbatile pwaida paano.’
And the second came, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has made five minas.
19 Bhakulungwa gubhammalanjile, ‘Numbe ugwe shubhe nkulungwa jwa ilambo nng'ano.’
And he said also to this one, And thou, be over five cities.
20 “Ntumishi juna gwaishe, nigwashite, ‘Mmakulungwa ajino ela jenu, nashinkuiya ukoto nshigubho,
And another came, saying, [My] Lord, lo, [there is] thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.
21 pabha nashinkunnjogopa mmwe mmandu mmanonopa ntima. Mmwe nnatola yangali yenu, nnaneng'ena munkapandileje.’
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 Na bhalabho gubhammalanjile, ‘Ngunakuukumula kwa ligongo lya malobhe gako, ugwe ntumishi ujwangali gwa mmbone! Ibhaga gwamumanyi kuti nne namundu jwa nonopa ntima, ngunatola yangali yanngu na ngunaneng'ena mungapandileje.
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 Bhai kwa nndi unabhishe ela jangu kubhenki, na nne ngatolile na pwaida nkubhuja mwanja gwangu?’”
And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and I should have received it, at my coming, with interest?
24 Penepo gubhaalugulilenje bhalinginji pepala bhala, “Mumpokonyolanje elajo, nkampanganje apatile pwaida ja likumi limo jula.”
And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give [it] to him who has the ten minas.
25 Na bhalabhonji gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmakulungwa, pakubha tayali apatile likumi limo!”
And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.
26 Na bhalabho gubhaajangwilenje, “Jojowe akwete shindu shaajenjeshewe. Ikabheje jwangali shindu jula, nkali shakwete shila shaapokonyolwe.
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 ‘Nnaino, ga ashaamagongo ajangu bhakaapinganga nne kubha mpalume jwabhonji, mwajiyenabhonji apano, mwaabhulaganje pa meyo gangu.’”
Moreover those mine enemies, who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] before me.
28 A Yeshu bhakabheleketeje genego, gubhalongolele mmujo kuloya ku Yelushalemu.
And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Bhakabhandishileje ku Bhetipage na ku Bhetania, tome na shitumbi sha Misheituni, gubhaatumilenje bhabhili munkumbi gwa bhaajiganywa bhabho,
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 gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nnjendangane kushijiji shili mmujo jenunji. Pushinnjinjilangane, shimunng'imananje mwana jwa mbunda akanabhe jigala mundu, atabhilwe. Munngopolanje munnjiyenajonji apano.
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 Ibhaga mundu shammuyanje, nkunngopolelanga nndi, mummalanjilanje, ‘Bhakulungwa bhanakumpinga.’”
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 Bhai, gubhapitengene, niimana malinga shibhabhalanjilwenje.
And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.
33 Bhalikunngopolanga mwana jwa mbunda jula, bhayene gubhaabhushiyenje, “Nkunngopolelanga nndi mwana jwa mbundajo?”
And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 Na bhalabhonji gubhajangwilenje, “Bhakulungwa bhanakumpinga.”
And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.
35 Bhai gubhaapeleshelenje Yeshu mwana jwa mbunda jula. Gubhatandikenje nngubho yabhonji panngongo gwakwe, gubhaakweshiyenje a Yeshu panani jakwe.
And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on [it].
36 A Yeshu pubhapitaga mumpanda, bhandunji gubhatandikenje nngubho yabhonji.
And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way.
37 Bhakaisheje tome na ku Yelushalemu, bhalielela shitumbi sha Misheituni, lugwinjili lowe na bhaajiganywa bhabho, gubhatandubhenje kuangalila na kwainiya a Nnungu kwa utiya, kwa ligongo lya ilapo yaigwinji ibhaibhweninji,
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 bhalinkutinji, “Bhakwete mboka A mpalume bhakwiya kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa. Ulele kunnungu na Ukonjelo kunani kajeko!”
saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of [the] Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Penepo Ashimapalishayo bhana bhalinginji nnikundi mula gubhaabhalanjilenje a Yeshu, “Mmajiganya, mwalimbiyanje bhaajiganywa bhenu!”
And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
40 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Ngunakummalanjilanga, bhanganyabha bhapumulangaga, maganga shigajobhele.”
And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.
41 A Yeshu bhakabhandishileje na kushibhona shilambo sha Yelushalemu shila, gubhashigutile
And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it,
42 bhalinkuti, “Kaliji ukaimanyi ata ugwe lelo ipeleshela ulele! Ikabheje nnaino ishiiywa unaibhone.
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 Pabha ganakwiya mobha bhamagongo ajako, shibhakutimbililanje nikuibhilila mmbali yowe.
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 Shibhakukandaganye ugwe na ashibhanago nkati pemo. Na bhakalekanga nkali liganga limo lijimi pa liganga lina, pabha gwangagamanya malanga ga ntapulo gwako.”
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 Kungai a Yeshu gubhapite ku Liekalu, gubhatandwibhe kwaabhinganjilanga palanga bhatendangaga upindi
And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those that sold and bought in it,
46 bhalinkuti, “Ishijandikwa, ‘Nyumba jangu shijibhe nyumba ja kwaajujila a Nnungu,’ ikabheje mmanganya nshitendanga lishembo lya bhaapokonyola.”
saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers.
47 Mobha gowe a Yeshu bhatendaga jiganya Nniekalu. Ikabheje ashikalongolele bha ashinkulondola, na bhaajiganya bha shalia na ashikalongolele bha bhandunji bhatendaga loleyanga namuna ja kwaabhulaga.
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 Ikabheje bhakamumanyangaga muutendelo, pabha bhandu bhowe bhatendaga kwaakagulilanga na kwaapilikanishiya.
and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him to hear.
