ULukha 19
1 Wathi uJesu engena, wadabula eJeriko.
Ɛda bi a na Yesu retwam wɔ Yeriko no,
2 Njalo khangela, kwakukhona indoda eyayithiwa nguZakewu ngebizo; owayeyinduna yabathelisi, njalo wayenothile;
ɔhunuu ɔbarima bi wɔ hɔ a wɔfrɛ no Sakeo. Na Sakeo yɛ ɔtogyeni panin sane yɛ osikani nso.
3 wadinga ukubona uJesu ukuthi ungubani, kodwa kazange enelise ngenxa yexuku, ngoba wayelesithombo esifitshane.
Ɛberɛ a Yesu retwam no, Sakeo pɛɛ sɛ anka ɔhunu no, nanso ɛsiane sɛ na ɔyɛ onipa tiawa na wɔn a wɔdi Yesu akyi no dɔɔso enti, wanhunu no.
4 Wasegijimela phambili wakhwela emkhiweni wesikhamore ukuze ambone; ngoba wayezadlula ngaleyondlela.
Esiane sɛ na Sakeo nim sɛ Yesu bɛfa nnyedua bi a na ɛsisi hɔ no ase enti, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔforoo saa nnyedua no mu baako.
5 Kwathi uJesu efika kuleyondawo, wakhangela phezulu wambona, wathi kuye: Zakewu, phangisa wehle; ngoba lamuhla ngimele ukuhlala endlini yakho.
Ɛberɛ a Yesu duruu nnyedua no ase no, ɔmaa nʼani so hunuu no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sakeo, yɛ ntɛm na si fam, na wo fie na ɛnnɛ mɛtena.”
6 Wasephangisa wehla, wamemukela ethokoza.
Sakeo yɛɛ ntɛm sii fam de anigyeɛ gyee no fɛ so.
7 Futhi bonke bekubona basola, besithi: Ungene wethekelela indoda eyisoni.
Nnipa a wɔdi Yesu akyi no hunuu yei no, wɔnwiinwii kaa sɛ, “Ɔdebɔneyɛfoɔ yi na wakɔ akɔsoɛ no.”
8 Kodwa uZakewu wema wathi eNkosini: Khangela, ingxenye yempahla yami, Nkosi, ngiyipha abayanga; kuthi uba ngimthathele umuntu ulutho ngobuqili, ngilubuyisela luphindwe kane.
Ɛberɛ a nnipa no renwiinwii no, Sakeo bɛgyinaa Yesu nkyɛn kaa sɛ, “Awurade, ɛnnɛ, mede mʼahodeɛ mu fa kyɛ ahiafoɔ, na sɛ masisi obi wɔ biribi mu a, mɛtua mmɔho nan ama no.”
9 UJesu wasesithi kuye: Lamuhla usindiso lufikile kulindlu, ngoba laye uyindodana kaAbrahama.
Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ na nkwagyeɛ aba efie yi mu, ɛfiri sɛ, yei nso yɛ Abraham ba.
10 Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu ize ukudinga lokusindisa okulahlekileyo.
Na Onipa Ba no baeɛ sɛ ɔrebɛhwehwɛ wɔn a wɔayera na wagye wɔn nkwa.”
11 Kwathi besizwa lezizinto, wengezelela watsho umfanekiso, ngoba wayeseduze leJerusalema, langoba babecabanga ukuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu uzahle ubonakaliswe.
Ɛberɛ a Yesu ne nnipa no rebɛn Yerusalem no, ɔsane buu wɔn bɛ foforɔ de kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, Onyankopɔn Ahennie no abɛn.
12 Wasesithi-ke: Umuntu othile oyisikhulu waya elizweni elikhatshana, ukuzemukelela umbuso, aphinde abuye.
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɔdehyeɛ bi a watu kwan akɔ akyirikyiri asase bi so sane kɔɔ ne kurom kɔhunuu nʼabusua mu mpanimfoɔ sɛ wɔnsi no ɔhene.
13 Wasebiza inceku zakhe ezilitshumi, wazinika impondo ezilitshumi, wathi kuzo: Sebenzani ngemali ngize ngibuye.
Ansa na ɔrebɛfiri nʼakwantuo no ase no, ɔfrɛɛ nʼadwumayɛfoɔ mu edu maa wɔn mu biara minaedu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Momfa sika yi nyɛ adwuma kɔsi sɛ mɛba.’
14 Kodwa izakhamizi zakhe zamzonda, zathuma amanxusa emva kwakhe, zisithi: Kasithandi ukuthi lo asibuse.
“Kurom hɔfoɔ no tee nʼahennie no ho asɛm no, wɔtuu nnipa kɔhunuu mpanimfoɔ no sɛ wɔmpɛ no.
15 Kwasekusithi esebuyile esewemukele umbuso, wathi azibizelwe kuye lezozinceku, ayezinike imali, ukuze azi ukuthi yileyo laleyo izuzeni ngokuthengiselana.
“Nanso, wɔsii no ɔhene ma ɔsane kɔɔ baabi a na ɔyɛ adwuma no. Ɔduruiɛ no, ɔfrɛɛ nʼadwumayɛfoɔ edu no sɛ, wɔmmɛbu sika a ɔde maa wɔn no ho nkonta nkyerɛ no.
16 Kweza-ke eyokuqala, yathi: Nkosi, impondo yakho izuze impondo ezilitshumi.
“Odwumayɛfoɔ a ɔdii ɛkan baeɛ no bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Me wura, wo sika mina edu no, mede ayɛ adwuma anya ho mmɔho edu.’
17 Wasesithi kuyo: Kuhle, nceku elungileyo; lokhu uthembekile kokuncinyanyana, woba lamandla phezu kwemizi elitshumi.
“Owura no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Mo, akoa pa, ɛsiane sɛ woadi kakraa a mede hyɛɛ wo nsa no ho nokorɛ enti, mede nkuro edu bɛhyɛ wʼase na woadi so.’
18 Kwasekusiza eyesibili, yathi: Nkosi, impondo yakho yenze impondo ezinhlanu.
“Odwumayɛfoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmienu no baeɛ bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Me wura, wo sika mina edu no, mede ayɛ adwuma anya ho mmɔho enum.’
19 Wasesithi lakuyo: Lawe woba phezu kwemizi emihlanu.
“Owura no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Mede nkuro enum bɛhyɛ wʼase na woadi so.’
20 Kwasekusiza enye, isithi: Nkosi, khangela impondo yakho, engayibeka elenjini;
“Ɔfoforɔ nso bɛkaa sɛ, ‘Me wura wo sika mina edu a wode maa me no, mede sieeɛ, ɛno nie.
21 ngoba bengikwesaba, ngoba ungumuntu olukhuni; uthatha lokho ongakubekanga, futhi uvune lokho ongakuhlanyelanga.
Na mesuro wo, ɛfiri sɛ, wo ho yɛ nwanwa. Deɛ ɛnyɛ wo dea no, wogye; deɛ wunnuaeɛ nso, wotwa.’
22 Wasesithi kuyo: Ngizakugweba ngokuvela emlonyeni wakho, nceku embi. Ubusazi ukuthi mina ngingumuntu olukhuni, othatha lokho engingakubekanga, futhi avune lokho engingakuhlanyelanga;
“Ne wura no buaa no sɛ, ‘Akoa bɔne, wo anom asɛm so na megyina abu wo atɛn. Wonim sɛ me ho yɛ nwanwa. Deɛ ɛnyɛ me dea no megye; deɛ mennuaeɛ no, metwa.
23 ngakho kungani ungafakanga imali yami ebhanga, kuthi-ke mina ekufikeni kwami ngiyithathe kanye lenzuzo?
Adɛn enti na woamfa me sika no ankɔto sikakorabea? Anka mebaeɛ yi mɛnya ho nsiho.’
24 Wasesithi kulabo ababemi khona: Memukeni impondo, liyinike lowo olempondo ezilitshumi.
“Ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ a na wɔgyina hɔ no sɛ ‘Monnye sika no mfiri ne nsam mfa mma deɛ ɔde ne deɛ yɛɛ adwuma nyaa mmɔho edu no.’
25 Kodwa bathi kuye: Nkosi, lowo ulempondo ezilitshumi.
“Asomfoɔ no kaa sɛ, ‘Yɛn wura, sɛ yei deɛ ɔwɔ sika bebree!’
26 Ngoba ngithi kini: Wonke olakho uzaphiwa; kodwa lowo ongelakho, uzakwemukwa lalokho alakho.
“Owura no kaa sɛ, ‘Merema mo ate aseɛ sɛ, deɛ ɔwɔ bebree no, wɔbɛma no bi aka ho, na deɛ ɔwɔ kakra bi no, deɛ ɔwɔ mpo no, wɔbɛgye afiri ne nsam.
27 Kodwa lezozitha zami, ebezingathandi ukuthi ngizibuse, ziletheni lapha, lizibulale phambi kwami.
Na afei, momfa mʼatamfoɔ a anka wɔmpɛ sɛ medi adeɛ no mmra mʼanim ha na monkum wɔn!’”
28 Esetshilo lezizinto, wahamba phambili, esenyukela eJerusalema.
Yesu kaa nsɛm yi wieeɛ no, ɔdii nʼasuafoɔ no ɛkan kɔɔ Yerusalem.
29 Kwasekusithi esondela eBetfage leBethani entabeni okuthiwa ngeyeMihlwathi, wathuma ababili kubafundi bakhe,
Ɔrebɛn Betfage ne Betania a ɛbɛn Ngo Bepɔ so no, ɔsomaa nʼasuafoɔ no mu baanu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
30 esithi: Hambani liye emzaneni okhangelene lani; lizakuthi lingena kuwo lifice ithole likababhemi libotshiwe, okungazanga kuhlale kulo muntu; lilikhulule lililethe.
“Monkɔ akuraa a ɛbɛn ha no ase na moduru hɔ a, mobɛhunu afunumu ba bi a obiara ntenaa ne so da sɛ wɔasa no. Monsane no mfa no mmrɛ me.
31 Uba umuntu elibuza esithi: Lilikhululelani? Lizakutsho njalo kuye ukuthi: INkosi iyaliswela.
Sɛ obi bisa sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na moresane no’ a, monka nkyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Ne ho hia Awurade.’”
32 Ababethunyiwe bahamba-ke bafica kunjengoba ebatshelile.
Asuafoɔ baanu a wɔkɔeɛ no kɔhunuu aboa no sɛ ɔsa hɔ sɛdeɛ Yesu kaeɛ no.
33 Kuthe besalikhulula ithole, abaninilo bathi kubo: Lilikhululelani ithole?
Ɛberɛ a wɔresane afunumu ba no, ne wuranom bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na moresane aboa no?”
34 Bona basebesithi: INkosi iyaliswela.
Wɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Ne ho hia Awurade.”
35 Basebeliletha kuJesu; baphosela izembatho zabo phezu kwethole likababhemi, bamkhweza uJesu kulo.
Asuafoɔ no de afunumu ba no brɛɛ Yesu de wɔn ntoma sesɛɛ ne so ma ɔtenaa ne so.
36 Kwathi ehamba, bendlala izembatho zabo phansi endleleni.
Yesu te afunumu ba no so rekɔ no, nnipa de wɔn ntoma sesɛɛ ɛkwan no so ma ɔfaa so.
37 Kwathi khathesi esesondela ekwehleni kwentaba yeMihlwathi, ixuku lonke labafundi laqala ukuthokoza lokudumisa uNkulunkulu ngelizwi elikhulu ngayo yonke imisebenzi yamandla eliyibonileyo,
Ɔduruu Ngo Bepɔ no so baabi a wɔrebɛsiane akɔ Yerusalem no, nʼakyidifoɔ no nyinaa de osebɔ kamfoo Onyankopɔn, yii no ayɛ wɔ Yesu anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ a wayɛ no ho sɛ,
38 lisithi: Ibusisiwe inkosi ezayo ebizweni leNkosi; ukuthula ezulwini, lenkazimulo kweliphezulu.
“Nhyira nka ɔhene a ɔreba Awurade din mu no!” “Asomdwoeɛ ne animuonyam nka Onyankopɔn wɔ ɔsorosoro nohoa!”
39 Labanye babaFarisi ababesexukwini bathi kuye: Mfundisi, khuza abafundi bakho.
Farisifoɔ no bi a na wɔfra nnipakuo no mu no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, kasa kyerɛ wʼakyidifoɔ no na wɔmmua wɔn ano!”
40 Wasephendula wathi kubo: Ngithi kini, uba bethula laba, amatshe azamemeza.
Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ wɔmua wɔn ano koraa a, aboɔ mpo bɛkamfo me, ayi me ayɛ.”
41 Kwathi esondela, ewubona umuzi, wawukhalela,
Yesu rebɛn Yerusalem a ɔhunuu kuro no no, ɔsu maa emu nnipa no sɛ,
42 esithi: Kungathi ngabe wazile lawe, ngitsho ngalolusuku lwakho, izinto zokuthula kwakho; kodwa-ke khathesi zifihlakele emehlweni akho.
“Mo a anka asomdwoeɛ yɛ mo dea nanso moampɛ no, mobɛhwehwɛ asomdwoeɛ akyiri kwan, nanso mo nsa renka da!
43 Ngoba insuku zizakwehlela phezu kwakho, lapho izitha zakho zizakwakhela umthangala zikugombolozele, zikuzingelezele, zikuvimbele inhlangothi zonke,
Nna bi bɛba a mo atamfoɔ bɛba abɛtoa mo, aka mo ahyɛ,
44 zikudilizele phansi wena labantwana bakho abaphakathi kwakho, zingatshiyi ilitshe phezu kwelitshe phakathi kwakho; ngoba ungasazanga isikhathi sokuhanjelwa kwakho.
atɔre mo ne mo mma ase, asɛe mo kuro yi pasaa, ɛfiri sɛ, moapo adom a Onyankopɔn de adom mo no.”
45 Wasengena ethempelini, waqala ukuxotsha abathengisayo kulo, labathengayo,
Yesu duruu Yerusalem no, ɔkɔɔ asɔredan mu kɔpamoo nnipa a na wɔredi edwa wɔ hɔ no kaa sɛ,
46 esithi kubo: Kulotshiwe ukuthi: Indlu yami yindlu yomkhuleko; kodwa lina liyenze ubhalu lwabaphangi.
“Wɔatwerɛ sɛ, ‘Mʼasɔredan yɛ mpaeɛbɔbea; nanso mode ayɛ akorɔmfoɔ ahyiaeɛ!’”
47 Njalo wayefundisa ethempelini insuku zonke; kodwa abapristi abakhulu lababhali lenduna zabantu badinga ukumbulala;
Saa ɛberɛ no nyinaa na asɔfoɔ mpanimfoɔ, Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ ne ɔman no mu mpanimfoɔ rehwehwɛ ɛkwan a wɔbɛfa so anya no, akyere no, akum no.
48 kodwa kabatholanga abangakwenza, ngoba abantu bonke banamathela kuye bemlalela.
Nanso, na wɔnhunu ɛkwan biara a wɔbɛfa so akyere no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ nyinaa na nnipa akyere ne so retie no.
