Luka 19
1 Yesu atijingya ni peta katikati ya Yeriko.
And he entered and passed through Jericho.
2 Napo pabile ni mundu yumo akemelwa Zakayo, ywembe abile nkolo wa watoza ushuru kae mundu tajiri.
And behold, [there was] a man by name called Zacchaeus, and he was chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich.
3 Abile kapaya kubona Yesu ni mundu wa namna gani, lakini awezite kwaa kum'bona kwasababu ya bandu banyanisima, kwa kuwa abile mwipi wa kimo.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.
4 Nga nyo, atilongoliya lubelo nnonge ya bandu, anaoboka kunanin ya mkuyu lenga aweche kum'bona, kwasababu Yesu atikaribiya pita kundela yelo.
And running on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that [way].
5 Wakati Yesu paikite mahali palo, atilinga kunani ni kum'bakiya, Zakayo, uluka upesi, maana leno ni lachima shinda kunyumba yako!
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 Apangite haraka, uluka ni kumkaribisha kwa puraha.
And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy.
7 Bandu boti pababweni galo, batilalamika, nabaya,'Ayei kutembelia mundu mwene sambi.'
And all murmured when they saw [it], saying, He has turned in to lodge with a sinful man.
8 Zakayo atiyema nakum'bakiya Ngwana, lola Ngwana nusu ya mali yango nibapeya maskini, ni ikiwa nimpokonyite mundu yeyoti kilebe, mnakumkeboliya mara ncheche.'
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 Yesu atikum'bakiya,'leno wokovu uikite katika nyumba yeno, kwa sababu yembe ni mwana wa Ibrahimu.
And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
10 Kwa maana mwana wa mundu aichile pala ni lopwa bandu babaobite.'
for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.
11 Pabayowine aga, atiyendeliya longela ni piya mfano, kwa sababu abii papii ni Yerusalemu anabo batangite ya kuwa ufalme wa nnonge wabile papipi na bonekana mara jimo.
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 Nga atikuwabakiya,'afisa yumo atiyenda kukilambo chakulipite lenga pokiya ufalme ni boka po buya.
He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.
13 Atikubakema atumishi bake komi, nakubapeya mafungu komi, nakuabakiya, mukapangie biashara mpaka panibuya!
And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.
14 Lakini bananchi bake batikasirika ni kwa nyoo batilagiya ajumbe bayende, kumkengama ni buya,'atakiwa kwaa mundu yono kututawala,'
But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this [man] should reign over us.
15 Pabile pabuite kaya baada ya pangilwa mpwalme, atiamuru balo atumishi abapeile mbanje bakemelwa kwake, apate tanga faida gani yabaipatike kwa panga biashara.
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 Wa kwanza aichile, nabaya, Ngwana, fungu lyako lipangite mafungu komi zaidi,
And the first came up, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.
17 Yolo afisa atikum'bakiya, vema, wa mmanda mwema, kwasababu wabile mwaminifu katika kikowe kichunu, upala panga ni madaraka kunani ya miji komi.'
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 Wa na ibele, abaite, Ngwana, fungu lyako lipangite mafungu matano.'
And the second came, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has made five minas.
19 yolo afisa atikumbakiya,'tola mamlaka ga kunani ya miji itano.'
And he said also to this one, And thou, be over five cities.
20 Ni ywenge aichile, ni baya,'Ngwana yeno pano, banje yako, naibekite salama katika kitambala.
And another came, saying, [My] Lord, lo, [there is] thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.
21 kwa maana natiyogopa kwa sababu, wenga nga mundu nkale, undaboya chelo cha ukibekite ni una chaupandike kwaa.'
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 hayo afisa atikum'bakiya, kwa maneno yako mwene, nipala kumhukumu, ewe mtumishi mbaya, watangite nenga na mundu nkale, nitola chani bekite kwaa ni una chanipandike kwaa.
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 Bai mbona wabekite kwaa mbanje yango katika benki, lenga paniboya nitole pamope ni faida?
And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and I should have received it, at my coming, with interest?
24 Afisa atikubabakiya bandu bababile batiyema hapo,'munyang, anye alyo lifungu ni kumpeya yolo mwene mafungu komi.
And he said to those that stood by, Take from him the mina and give [it] to him who has the ten minas.
25 Bakam'bakiya,'Ngwana, yembe abi na mafungu komi.'
And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.
26 Nindakuwabakiya kila mundu ywabile nacho apala peilwa zaidi, lakini ntopo, hata kiche kilebe abile nacho kipala tolekwa.
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 Lakini aba maadui bango, babakani nipange mpwalume wabe, baletwe pano ni kuba bulaga nnonge yango.”
Moreover those mine enemies, who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] before me.
28 Baada ya baya gano, atiyendeleya nnonge panda yenda Yerusalemu.
And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Pabile pakaribie Bethfage ni Bethania, papipi ni kitombe cha mizeituni, atikubatuma anapunzi bake abele,
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 Atibaya,'Muyende katika ijiji ya jirani, pamujingya, mpala kumkoliya mwana mbunda anapandilwa kwaa balo, muyogoli, mumleti kwango.
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 Kati mundu abalokiye, “Mbona mundakumyogoliya” mubaye, “Ngwana andakumpala”.
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 Balo babalagilwe batiyenda nakum'bona mwana mbonda kati Yesu chabakiye.
And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.
33 Babile banda kumyogoliya mwana mbonda wamiliki baka wabakiya,'kitumbwe namani munda kumyogoliya mwana mbunda yono?
And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 Batibaya, “Ngwana andakumpala.”
And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.
35 Bai, batikumpelekia Yesu, batikumtandika ngobo yabe kunani ya mwana mbonda ni bakamoboya Yesu kunani yake.
And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on [it].
36 Pabile kayenda bandu batitandza mavazi yabe mundela.
And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way.
37 Pabile anatelemka pakitombe sa mizeituni, jumuiya yoti ya benepunzi bake batumbwile shangiliya ni kumtukuza Nnongo kwa lilobe likolo, kwa sababu ya makowe makolo bayabweni.
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 Batibaya, “nga yembe mbarikiwa mpwalume yaichile kwa lina Ngwana! Amani kumaunde, ni utukufu kunani!'
saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of [the] Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Baadhi ya Mafarisayo katika makutano batikum'bakiya, mwalimu, ubanyamazishe benepunzi bako.
And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Yesu kayangwa ni kubaya, “nindakuwabakiya, kati haba batituliya, maliwe yapala kombwa malobe.'
And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.
41 Yesu paaukaribiye mji atiuleliya.
And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it,
42 Atibaya, “Laiti mwatangite hata wenga, katika lichoba lino makowe gagaleta amani! lakini nambeambe yatiya mminyo pako.
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 Kwa kuwa lichoba lindaicha ambapo adui bako apala chenga boma papipi ni wenga, ni kukutindiya ni kukukandamiza boka kila upande.
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 Bapala kutomboya pae wenga na bana bako. bapala kukuleka kwaa hata liwe limo kunani ya jenge, kwa sababu upala tambwa kwaa wakati Nnongo pabile kapaya kukulopwa!'
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 Yesu ajingile muhekalu, atumbwi kuwabenganga balo babile bakipemeya,
And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those that sold and bought in it,
46 Atikuwabakiya, “Itiandikwa, nyumba yango ipala panga numba ya sala, lakini mwenga muipangite kuwa likolo lya anyang'anyi.'
saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers.
47 Kwa nyoo, Yesu abile atipundisha kila lichoba muhekalu, Makuhani akolo ni Alimu ba saliya ni iongozi ba bandu bapalite kumuhukumu.
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 Lakini wawezite kwaa pata ndela ya panga nyoo, kwa sababu bandu boti babile bakimpekaniya kwa makini.
and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him to hear.
