Luka 19
1 Yesu kingiriti Yeriku, kaweriti kankupita munjira za lushi alu.
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 Kuweriti na mkulu gwa watola kodi yawamshema Zakayu, mweni kaweriti mlundamali.
And look, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 Kafiriti kumwona Yesu kaweriti gwa ntambu gaa, kumbiti toziya ya lipinga lya wantu na toziya kaweriti mfupi, na kasinditi kumwona Yesu.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 Su kalongolera mbiru, kakwena pampindi pa mkuyu su kawezi kumwona Yesu kaweriti kankupita njira ayi.
He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
5 Yesu pakaweriti kankwiza pahala palii, kaloliti kumtera na kumgambira Zakayu, “Kanongola gusuluki, toziya nfiruwa kulikala mnumba mwaku leru.”
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 Zakayu kasuluka kanongola, kumshemera kwa kunemelera.
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Wantu woseri pawawoniti hangu, wanjiti kuhinginika pawalonga, “Muntu ayu kagenda kuwera muhenga yakanaligoya ukaya kwa yakana vidoda!”
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8 Zakayu kagoloka, kumgambira Mtuwa, “Gupikaniri, Mtuwa! Hanuwapanani wahushu nusu ya ulunda wangu, na handa panumupokiti muntu yoseri kwa kumupayira hanumuwuzilili mala msheshi.”
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 kamgambira, “Ulopoziwu usoka mnumba amu leru, toziya muntu ayu vira ndo kamushiyiwuku sha Aburahamu.
Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Mwana gwa Muntu kiziti kusakula na kuwalopoziya yawagamiliti.”
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
11 Wantu pawaweriti wankupikanira aga, Yesu kendereyiti kuwagambira mfanu. Pakaweriti pakwegera kusoka Yerusalemu na wantu walii waliholiti kuwera Ufalumi wa Mlungu sambira usoka.
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 Su kawagambira, “Kuweriti na muntu yumu yakaweriti mkulu yakagenda muisi ya kutali kaweri mfalumi, shakapanu kawuyi ukaya.
He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Pamberi pa kuwuka, kawashemiti wantumintumi wakuwi lilongu na kuwapanani mpiya kila yumu na kuwagambira, ‘Guloli ntambu yamuweza kutenda pambuka.’
He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'
14 Vinu wantu wakuwi wamgalambukiti, pakawukiti kala, wawatumiti wajumbi walongi, ‘Tumfira ndiri muntu ayu kaweri mfalumi gwetu.’
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'
15 “Muntu ulii pawamtyeka kala kuwera mfalumi kawuyiti ukaya. Palii kawashemiti wantumintumi wakuwi kafira kavimani ntambu ya kila muntu kapata mpiya zininga kuliku ntambu yakawayupiti.
"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 Ntumintumi gwa kwanja kiza na kulonga, ‘Mtuwa, mpata mpiya lilongu nentu ya mpiya yimu yagunupiti.’
The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
17 Nayomberi kamgambira, ‘Gutenda weri, gwenga gwa ntumintumi guherepa! Toziya guwera gwa mwaminika kwa shintu shididini, hanukutuli guweri mkulu kwa lushi zya milongu.’
"And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant. Because you were faithful with very little, you will have authority over ten cities.'
18 Ntumintumi gwa pili kiza na katakula, ‘Mtuwa, mpata mpiya zyamuhanu nentu ya mpiya yimu yagunupiti.’
"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
19 Kwa yumu ayu kamgambira, ‘Haguweri mkulu gwa lushi zya muhanu.’
"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20 “Ntumintumi gwingi kiza na kutakula, ‘Mtuwa, mpiya yaku ayi, ntawiti mushitambala.
Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 Nukutuliriti gwenga toziya gwenga gwa muntu gukalipa. Gwenga gutolaga shilii shaku ndiri na kubena shilii shaguyala ndiri.’
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 Nayomberi kamgambira, ‘Gwenga gwa ntumintumi gufaa ndiri! Nukutoza kulawirana na visoweru vyaku! Guvimana neni muntu nkalipa, ntola shilii shashiwera ndiri shaneni na mbenanga vilii vyanyala ndiri.’
"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 Su iwera hashi gutuliti ndiri mpiya zyangu muluhanja? Pambuyiti hampati mpiya yangu pamuhera na mota yakuwi.”
Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
24 “Shakapanu kawagambira woseri yawaweriti wagoloka palii, ‘Mmupoki mpiya ayi na mumupi ntumintumi ulii yakongeriti mpiya lilongu.’
He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
25 Kumbiti womberi wamgambira, ‘Mtuwa, ayu kana mpiya kala mala lilongu!’
"They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
26 Nayomberi kawankula, ‘Nukugambirani woseri yawawera na shintu, hawongelerwi, kumbiti woseri yawahera na shintu, ata shilii shididini shawawera nashi hawawapoki.
'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 Vinu woseri walii yawaweriti wangondu wangu yawanfira ndiri neni nweri mfalumi gwawu, muwajegi panu na kuwalaga palongolu pa masu gangu!’”
But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"
28 Yesu pakatakuliti kala aga, su kawalonguleriti kugenda Yerusalemu.
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Pakaweriti pakwegera kusoka Betifagi na Betaniya, mulugongu lwa Mizeyituni, kawatumiti wafundwa wawili
It happened, when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
30 kawagambira, “Mgendi mushijiji sha palongolu penu, pamwingira hamwoni punda wamtawa mweni hakenitumiki na muntu. Mumyopoli na mumjegi panu.
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 Muntu yoseri pakawakosiya, iwera hashi mwankumyopola, mumgambiri Mtuwa kamfira.”
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'Because the Lord needs it.'"
32 Wagenditi munjira yawu, wawona kila shintu Yesu ntambu yakawagambiriti.
Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.
33 Pawaweriti wankumyopola punda ulii, weni yawawera na punda wawakosiya, “Iwera hashi mwankumyopola punda ayu?”
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 Nawomberi wamwankula, “Mtuwa kamfira,”
They said, "Because the Lord needs it."
35 su wamjega punda ulii kwa Yesu. Shakapanu wamyalikira nguwu zyawu pampindi pa punda na wamtanga Yesu kumkweniziya pampindi pakuwi.
They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.
36 Yesu kendereya na mwanja, na wantu wayalika nguwu zyawu munjira.
As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.
37 Pakasokiti pakwegera na Yerusalemu, panjira panda ya lugongu lwa Mizeyituni, lipinga likulu lya wafundwa wanjiti kutenda lusheka na nemeleru walonga mayagashii Mlungu na kumkwisa yomberi kwa liziwu likulu pawatakula mauzauza makulu wagawoniti,
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 “Mlungu gumtekeleri mfalumi yakiza mulitawu lya Mtuwa! Ponga iweri kumpindi nentu kwa Mlungu na ukwisa uweri kwa Mlungu!”
saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
39 Shakapanu Wamafalisayu wamu mulipinga lilii lya wantu wamgambira Yesu, “mfunda, guwanyamaziyi wafundwa waku.”
Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
40 Yesu kawankula, “Nukugambirani, handa pawanyamalila, mabuhi aga haganji kubotanga.”
He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."
41 Pawasokiti pakwegera na lushi lwa Yerusalemu, na pakaluwona kanjiti kululilira,
When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 kalonga, “Meguvimani! Leru ayi vitwtatira vijega ponga. Kumbiti vinu galififa pamasu paku.
saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things that make for peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 Shipindi shankwiza ndo sheni wangondu waku hawakuzyengeti kwa maboma, hawakupingili na kukubabanika wega zoseri.
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 Hawakwagamiziyi gwenga na wantu yawalikala mngati, hapeni wakulekeli ata libuwi limu panani pa limonga, toziya gushimana ndiri shipindi sha Mlungu pakakwiziriti kukulopoziya.”
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 Shakapanu Yesu kingiriti Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na kanja kuwawinga walii yawawuza vintu palii,
And he entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in it,
46 kawagambira, “Walembiti mumalembu, Mlungu pakalonga, ‘Numba nkulu ya neni hayiweri numba ya kusalira.’ Kumbiti mwenga muyitenda mpanga ya wapoka.”
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 Kila lishaka Yesu kaweriti kankufunda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu. Watambika wakulu na wafunda wa Malagaliru, na wakulu wa wantu wafiriti kumlaga,
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 kumbiti wasinditi ntambu yakutenda aga, toziya wantu woseri waweriti wankumpikinira weri kila shisoweru shakatakuliti, na wafiriti ndiri kukosa shisoweru ata shimu.
They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
