Luka 19
1 Yesu payingili ku Yeliko, apitayi munjila za muji wenuwo.
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 Pamuji wenuwo pavi mundu mmonga liina laki Zakayo, avi mkulu wa vatola kodi mwenuyo avi na vindu vyamahele.
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the tax collectors, and he was rich.
3 Mwenuyo aganayi kumlola Yesu ndi yani, nambu ahotwili lepi ndava ya msambi wa vandu, na Zakayo avi mundu mhupi.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
4 Hinu, akajumba kulongolo na kukwela mumkongo uvaha ndava amlolayi Yesu, muni Yesu apitayi njila yeniyo.
And he ran before, and climbed up upon 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 when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 Penapo Zakayo akahuluka pahi na kumpokalela Yesu kwa luheku.
And he made haste, and 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, That he was gone to be guest with a man that 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; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 Yesu akamjovela, “Lelu usangula uyingili munyumba iyi, muni na mwenuyu mewa chiveleku cha Ibulahimu.
And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation 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 is come 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.
And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
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.
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till 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 a message after him, saying, We will not have 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.
And it came to pass, that when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 Akabwela mvanda mtumbula akajova, ‘Bambu, lilundu limonga la mashonga lewanipelili niyonjokisi malundu gangi kumi ga mashonga.’
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
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, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 Akagelekela mtumisi yungi akajova, ‘Bambu lilundu la mashonga yewanipelili niyonjakisi malundu ga mashonga gangi mhanu.’
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 Bambu yula akamjovela, ‘Na veve yati nikupela uvya wa chilongosi mumiji mhanu.’”
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 “Muhengaji yungi akabwela na kujova, ‘Bambu, tola lishonga laku muni nakungili muchitambala na kuyifiya pabwina.
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21 Ndava muni nakuyogwipi, muni veve wa mundu winonopa. Witola vindu vyangali vyaku nakubena pawangamija.’
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst 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.
And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:
23 Ndava kyani wavikili lepi malundu ga mashonga gangu mubenki? Na nene nganitolili pamonga na chiyonjakesu peniwuya.’”
Why then gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest?
24 “Akavajovela vevavi penapo, ‘Mumnyagayi lilundu la lishonga lenilo, mukampela yula mweavi na malundu ga mashonga kumi.’
And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25 Vene vakamjovela, ‘Mwenuyo amali kupewa malundu ga mashonga kumi!’
( And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 Bambu akavayangula, ‘Nikuvajovela, mundu yoyoha mweavi na chindu yati ipewa na kuyonjokesewa. Nambu mweangali chindu. Hati cheavi nachu yati inyagiwa.
For I say to you, That to every one who hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 Na hinu vamakoko vangu vevakunibela nikotoka kuvya nkosi wavi, muvaletayi penapa na muvahinja palongolo yangu!’”
But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay them before me.
28 Yesu peamali kujova genago, akavalongolela kuhamba ku Yelusalemu.
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, 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,
And it came to pass, when he had come near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his 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 ye into the village opposite you; in which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him here.
31 Ngati mundu akuvakota, ndava kyani mukuliwopola lipunda? Mumjovela, ‘Bambu akumgana.’”
And if any man shall ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 Vevatumiwi vala vakahamba nakukolela ngati chavajoviwi na Yesu.
And they that were sent went, and found even as he had said to them.
33 Pevawopolayi punda mpakakasi, vakolo lipunda vakavakota, “Ndava kyani mukuliwopola lipunda mpapakasi ili?”
And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 Vakayangula, “Bambu akumgana.”
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 Ndi vampelakili Yesu. Kangi vakatola nyula na kumuyambatisa punda mpapakasi panani na kumtamisa Yesu panani yaki.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus on it.
36 Yesu ayendalili na lugendu kuni vandu vayendelela kumdandasila nyula zavi munjila.
And as he went, they spread their clothes 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,
And when he had come near, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 vakajova, “Amotisiwa Nkosi mweibwela kwa uhotola wa Bambu! Uteke uvya kunani kwa Chapanga na Chapanga alumbiwa mweavi kunani!”
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh 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!”
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Yesu akavayangula, “Nikuvajovela, ngati venava vaguni, maganga haga yati giywanga.”
And he answered and said to them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 Paavi papipi neju na kuulola muji wa Yelusalemu, akauvembela muji wenuwo,
And when he had come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 akajova, “Ngati kuvya umanyili lelu mambu gegileta uteke! Nambu hinu gafiyiki pamihu gaku!
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong to thy peace! but now they are hid from thy eyes.
43 Muni galabwela magono, penapo vamakoko vaku yati vakutindikila luwumba, yati vakuhaka na kukuhinya pandi zoha.
For the days shall come upon thee, that thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and surround thee, and keep thee 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 shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45 Kangi Yesu akayingila mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, akutumbula kuvavinga vandu vevagulisa na kugula vindu,
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought;
46 akajova, “Yiyandikiwi, ‘Nyumba yangu yati yivya nyumba ya kumyupila Chapanga.’ Nambu nyenye muhiyusi kuvya libokoselu la vanyagaji.”
Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
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,
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 nambu vavi nakumanya cha kukita ndava vandu voha vagunili kumyuwanila.
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
