Luka 19
1 Yesu payingili ku Yeliko, apitayi munjila za muji wenuwo.
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 Pamuji wenuwo pavi mundu mmonga liina laki Zakayo, avi mkulu wa vatola kodi mwenuyo avi na vindu vyamahele.
And look, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 Mwenuyo aganayi kumlola Yesu ndi yani, nambu ahotwili lepi ndava ya msambi wa vandu, na Zakayo avi mundu mhupi.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 Hinu, akajumba kulongolo na kukwela mumkongo uvaha ndava amlolayi Yesu, muni Yesu apitayi njila yeniyo.
He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
5 Yesu peahikili pandu penapo, akalola kunani na kumjovela Zakayo, “Huluka kanyata, muni lelu yati niwela munyumba yaku.”
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 Penapo Zakayo akahuluka pahi na kumpokalela Yesu kwa luheku.
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Vandu voha pevaloli genago, vakatumbula kung'ung'uta na kujova, “Mundu uyu ahambili kutama kwa mundu mweakumbudila Chapanga!”
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8 Nambu Zakayo akayima palongolo akamjovela Yesu, “Bambu Yuwanila! Yati nigava pagati vindu vyangu na kuvapela vangangu na ngati natolili chindu cha mundu kwa kuchenjela, yati nimuwuyisila mala mcheche.”
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 Yesu akamjovela, “Lelu usangula uyingili munyumba iyi, muni na mwenuyu mewa chiveleku cha Ibulahimu.
Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Muni Mwana wa Mundu abwelili kulonda na kusangula veviyagili.”
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
11 Vandu vavi vakumuyuwanila Yesu peavi papipi kuhika ku Yelusalemu vandu vaholalela Unkosi wa Chapanga uvi papipi kuhumila ndava genago Yesu avajovili luhumu wungi.
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 Hinu akavajovela, kwavili na mundu mmonga wa lukolo lwa unkosi, mwaahambili kumulima wa kutali muni avikiwa unkosi na nkosi mkulu na kuwuya.
He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Akavakemela vatumisi vaki kumi, na kuvapela kila mundu mashonga salafu zeziwanangana na luhuna lwa lihengu la mihyei yidatu, kila mmonga na kuvajovela, mhengela lihengu la kugula na kugulisa vindu mbaka peniwuyayi.
He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'
14 Nambu vandu va mulima wenuwo vamuhakalili mundu mwenuyo, ndi vatumili vajumbi vamulanda na kuhamba kujova, tigani lepi mundu uyu avyaa nkosi witu.
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'
15 “Mundu mwenuyo agotoliwi unkosi wenuwo na kuwuya pamulima waki. Bahapo akalagiza vakemelewayi vavanda vevapewili mashonga vala, muni aganayi kumanya ngati kila mmonga ayonjokisi mashonga galinga.
"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 Akabwela mvanda mtumbula akajova, ‘Bambu, lilundu limonga la mashonga lewanipelili niyonjokisi malundu gangi kumi ga mashonga.’
The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
17 Bambu yula akajova, ‘Chabwina.’ Veve wamtumisi mbwina! Ndava muni usadikiwi mumambu gadebe, ‘Hinu yati nikuvika uvya chilongosi mumiji 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 Akagelekela mtumisi yungi akajova, ‘Bambu lilundu la mashonga yewanipelili niyonjakisi malundu ga mashonga gangi mhanu.’
"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
19 Bambu yula akamjovela, ‘Na veve yati nikupela uvya wa chilongosi mumiji mhanu.’”
"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20 “Muhengaji yungi akabwela na kujova, ‘Bambu, tola lishonga laku muni nakungili muchitambala na kuyifiya pabwina.
Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 Ndava muni nakuyogwipi, muni veve wa mundu winonopa. Witola vindu vyangali vyaku nakubena pawangamija.’
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 Bambu yula akamjovela, ‘Yati nikuhamula ndava ya malovi gaku veve mtumisi mhakau! Kumbi wamanyi hotohoto ngati nene ninonopa, ndava nitola vyangali kuvya vyangu na kubena panangamija.
"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 Ndava kyani wavikili lepi malundu ga mashonga gangu mubenki? Na nene nganitolili pamonga na chiyonjakesu peniwuya.’”
Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
24 “Akavajovela vevavi penapo, ‘Mumnyagayi lilundu la lishonga lenilo, mukampela yula mweavi na malundu ga mashonga kumi.’
He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
25 Vene vakamjovela, ‘Mwenuyo amali kupewa malundu ga mashonga kumi!’
"They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
26 Bambu akavayangula, ‘Nikuvajovela, mundu yoyoha mweavi na chindu yati ipewa na kuyonjokesewa. Nambu mweangali chindu. Hati cheavi nachu yati inyagiwa.
'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 Na hinu vamakoko vangu vevakunibela nikotoka kuvya nkosi wavi, muvaletayi penapa na muvahinja palongolo yangu!’”
But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"
28 Yesu peamali kujova genago, akavalongolela kuhamba ku Yelusalemu.
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Peavili papipi kuhika ku Betifage na ku Betania papipi na chitumbi cha mikongo ya Mizeituni, avatumili vavili va vawuliwa vaki,
It happened, when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
30 na kuvajovela, “Muhamba muchijiji chechivii palongolo yinu, na pemwitumbula kuyingila muchijiji chenicho yati mulikolela mapapakasi wa punda akungiwi langatumbula kugega mundu. Muwopolayi, mubwela nalu apa.
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 Ngati mundu akuvakota, ndava kyani mukuliwopola lipunda? Mumjovela, ‘Bambu akumgana.’”
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'Because the Lord needs it.'"
32 Vevatumiwi vala vakahamba nakukolela ngati chavajoviwi na Yesu.
Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.
33 Pevawopolayi punda mpakakasi, vakolo lipunda vakavakota, “Ndava kyani mukuliwopola lipunda mpapakasi ili?”
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 Vakayangula, “Bambu akumgana.”
They said, "Because the Lord needs it."
35 Ndi vampelakili Yesu. Kangi vakatola nyula na kumuyambatisa punda mpapakasi panani na kumtamisa Yesu panani yaki.
They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.
36 Yesu ayendalili na lugendu kuni vandu vayendelela kumdandasila nyula zavi munjila.
As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.
37 Paavi papipi kuhika ku Yelusalemu paluhelelu lwa chitumbi cha mikongo ya Mizeituni, msambi woha wa vandu na vawuliwa vaki vatumbwili kumlulutila kwa lwami luvaha na kumlumba Chapanga ndava ya mambu gakulu goha gevagaweni,
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 vakajova, “Amotisiwa Nkosi mweibwela kwa uhotola wa Bambu! Uteke uvya kunani kwa Chapanga na Chapanga alumbiwa mweavi kunani!”
saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
39 Vafalisayu vangi vevavili mu msambi wula wa vandu vakamjovela Yesu, “Muwula, vagunisa vawuliwa vaku!”
Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
40 Yesu akavayangula, “Nikuvajovela, ngati venava vaguni, maganga haga yati giywanga.”
He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."
41 Paavi papipi neju na kuulola muji wa Yelusalemu, akauvembela muji wenuwo,
When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 akajova, “Ngati kuvya umanyili lelu mambu gegileta uteke! Nambu hinu gafiyiki pamihu gaku!
saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things that make for peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 Muni galabwela magono, penapo vamakoko vaku yati vakutindikila luwumba, yati vakuhaka na kukuhinya pandi zoha.
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 Penapo yati vakutimbisula veve na vana vaku muluwumba wula, vakulekela lepi hati liganga limonga lelisigalila panani ya liganga lingi, ndava wamanyi lepi lukumbi Chapanga peakubweli kukusangula!”
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 Kangi Yesu akayingila mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, akutumbula kuvavinga vandu vevagulisa na kugula vindu,
And he entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in it,
46 akajova, “Yiyandikiwi, ‘Nyumba yangu yati yivya nyumba ya kumyupila Chapanga.’ Nambu nyenye muhiyusi kuvya libokoselu la vanyagaji.”
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 Ligono kwa ligono Yesu avawulayi mu Nyumba ya Chapanga. Nambu Vakulu va Kuteta na vawula va malagizu na vachilongosi va vandu, valonda njila ya kumkoma,
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 nambu vavi nakumanya cha kukita ndava vandu voha vagunili kumyuwanila.
They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
