Luka 19
1 A Yeshu gubhajinjile nshilambo sha ku Yeliko, nipita pakatipakati ja shene shilambosho.
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 Bhashinkupagwa bhandu bhamo pashilambopo bhashemwaga a Shakayo, bhakulungwa bha bhaakamula bhaaliji tajili.
And look, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 Bhatendaga pinga bhaabhone a Yeshu shibhali, ikabheje kwa ligongo lya lugwinjili lwa bhandu na pabha bhashinkubha bhabhaupi, bhangakombola kwaabhona.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 Kwa nneyo, kwa lubhilo, gubhalongolele, gubhakwelile munkongo gwankulungwa nkupinga bhaabhone a Yeshu, pabha shibhapite mpanda gogo.
He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
5 Bhai a Yeshu bhakaisheje penepo, gubhalolile kunani gubhashite, “A Shakayo, ntulushe shangu, pabha lelo shindame kunngwenu.”
And as he came to the place, looking up, Jesus saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
6 A Shakayo shangupe gubhatulwishe, gubhaaposhele kunngwabho akuno bhalikwinonyela kaje.
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Bhandu bhowe bhakagabhonanjeje genego, gubhatandubhenje kuinginika bhalinkutinji, “Bhashikwenda tama kuka mundu akwete yambi.”
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
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.”
And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look, 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 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjile, “Lelo ntapulo ujinjile nnyumba muno, pabha jweneju nneila peila ni jwa shipinga sha a Bhulaimu.
Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Pabha Mwana juka Mundu kwaishe kuloleya na tapula bhaobhilenje.”
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was 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.
As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the Kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.
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 nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Bhai, bhakanabhe jabhula bhashinkwaashemanga bhatumishi bhabho kumi, nikwapanganga kila mundu lipungu lya ela, bhalinkuti, ‘Ntendelanje upindi mpaka pushimuje.’
He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'
14 Ikabheje bhashilambo ajabhonji bhatendaga kwaapatanga, gubhaatumilenje mitume bhakagulanje, bhakalugulanje kuti, ‘Tukakwaapinga abha bhatutagwale.’”
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'
15 “Bhakapateje upalume gubhabhujile kumui, na shangupe gubhalajile bhatumishi bhala bhashemwanje, nkupinga bhamumanye kila mundu shapatile.
"It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that 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 Ntumishi jwa ntai gwaishe nigwashite, ‘Mmakulungwa ela imwambele ila, ipatikene pwaida likumi limo.’
The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more 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, good servant. Because you were faithful with very little, you will have authority over ten cities.'
18 Ntumishi jwa bhili gwaishe, nigwashite, ‘Mmakulungwa ela imwambele ila, mbatile pwaida paano.’
"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
19 Bhakulungwa gubhammalanjile, ‘Numbe ugwe shubhe nkulungwa jwa ilambo nng'ano.’
"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20 “Ntumishi juna gwaishe, nigwashite, ‘Mmakulungwa ajino ela jenu, nashinkuiya ukoto nshigubho,
Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 pabha nashinkunnjogopa mmwe mmandu mmanonopa ntima. Mmwe nnatola yangali yenu, nnaneng'ena munkapandileje.’
for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.'
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 said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow.
23 Bhai kwa nndi unabhishe ela jangu kubhenki, na nne ngatolile na pwaida nkubhuja mwanja gwangu?’”
Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
24 Penepo gubhaalugulilenje bhalinginji pepala bhala, “Mumpokonyolanje elajo, nkampanganje apatile pwaida ja likumi limo jula.”
He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
25 Na bhalabhonji gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmakulungwa, pakubha tayali apatile likumi limo!”
"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 tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
27 ‘Nnaino, ga ashaamagongo ajangu bhakaapinganga nne kubha mpalume jwabhonji, mwajiyenabhonji apano, mwaabhulaganje pa meyo gangu.’”
But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"
28 A Yeshu bhakabheleketeje genego, gubhalongolele mmujo kuloya ku Yelushalemu.
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Bhakabhandishileje ku Bhetipage na ku Bhetania, tome na shitumbi sha Misheituni, gubhaatumilenje bhabhili munkumbi gwa bhaajiganywa bhabho,
It happened, when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
30 gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nnjendangane kushijiji shili mmujo jenunji. Pushinnjinjilangane, shimunng'imananje mwana jwa mbunda akanabhe jigala mundu, atabhilwe. Munngopolanje munnjiyenajonji apano.
saying, "Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no one ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.
31 Ibhaga mundu shammuyanje, nkunngopolelanga nndi, mummalanjilanje, ‘Bhakulungwa bhanakumpinga.’”
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'Because the Lord needs it.'"
32 Bhai, gubhapitengene, niimana malinga shibhabhalanjilwenje.
Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.
33 Bhalikunngopolanga mwana jwa mbunda jula, bhayene gubhaabhushiyenje, “Nkunngopolelanga nndi mwana jwa mbundajo?”
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 Na bhalabhonji gubhajangwilenje, “Bhakulungwa bhanakumpinga.”
They said, "Because the Lord needs it."
35 Bhai gubhaapeleshelenje Yeshu mwana jwa mbunda jula. Gubhatandikenje nngubho yabhonji panngongo gwakwe, gubhaakweshiyenje a Yeshu panani jakwe.
They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.
36 A Yeshu pubhapitaga mumpanda, bhandunji gubhatandikenje nngubho yabhonji.
As he went, they spread their cloaks 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,
As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
38 bhalinkutinji, “Bhakwete mboka A mpalume bhakwiya kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa. Ulele kunnungu na Ukonjelo kunani kajeko!”
saying, "Blessed is the King who 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!”
Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
40 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Ngunakummalanjilanga, bhanganyabha bhapumulangaga, maganga shigajobhele.”
He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."
41 A Yeshu bhakabhandishileje na kushibhona shilambo sha Yelushalemu shila, gubhashigutile
When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 bhalinkuti, “Kaliji ukaimanyi ata ugwe lelo ipeleshela ulele! Ikabheje nnaino ishiiywa unaibhone.
saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things that make for peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 Pabha ganakwiya mobha bhamagongo ajako, shibhakutimbililanje nikuibhilila mmbali yowe.
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 Shibhakukandaganye ugwe na ashibhanago nkati pemo. Na bhakalekanga nkali liganga limo lijimi pa liganga lina, pabha gwangagamanya malanga ga ntapulo gwako.”
and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."
45 Kungai a Yeshu gubhapite ku Liekalu, gubhatandwibhe kwaabhinganjilanga palanga bhatendangaga upindi
And he entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling and buying 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, 'And my house will be a house of prayer,' but you 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.
He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leaders among the people sought to destroy him.
48 Ikabheje bhakamumanyangaga muutendelo, pabha bhandu bhowe bhatendaga kwaakagulilanga na kwaapilikanishiya.
They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
