Luka 19
1 Wape nahunjiye hu Yeriko ashirile pahati yakwe.
Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.
2 Na enya pali no mntu ityawa lyakwe Zakayo. Gosi hwabha sonjezya esonga wape takiri.
There was a man there, known by the name of Zacchaeus, who was a senior tax collector and a rich man.
3 Ono ahanzaga hulore oYesu mntu yali welewele sagawezizye afwatane no winji wabhantu eshi fupi wekimo.
He tried to see what Jesus was like; but, being short, he was unable to do so because of the crowd.
4 Watangulira sashembera winjira amwanya mwiko ilipate hurole afwanaje abhahwenze shilire idara lila.
So he ran on ahead and climbed into a mulberry tree to see Jesus, for he knew that he must pass that way.
5 Na oYesu ashilile esehemu ela, ehenyizye amwanya wabhora, 'Zakayo, iha nanali, afwanaje sanyono ehwanziwa alenda mnyumba yaho.'
When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I must stop at your house today.’
6 Wabhomba nanali, wiha wakaribizya ohu ashiye.
So Zacchaeus got down quickly, and joyfully welcomed him.
7 Hata bhantu nabhavolire bhaunire wonti, bhayanga, 'Ayinjiye akhare hwa mntu owe mbibhi.'
On seeing this, everyone began to complain, ‘He has gone to stay with a man who is an outcast.’
8 Zakayo wemerela wabhora Gosi, Enya Gosi enusu eye shoma shane embapera apena nkashera efyelere omntu ahantu huhila ehuwezezya mara zinne. '
But Zacchaeus stood forward and said to the Master, ‘Listen, Master! I will give half my property to the poor, and, if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give him back four times as much.’
9 O Yesu wabhora sanyono owaule ufishire mnyumba omu afwanaje ono wape mwana wa Ibrahimu.
‘Salvation has come to this house today,’ answered Jesus, ‘for even this man is a son of Abraham.
10 Afwanaje Mwana wa Adamu ahenzere ahwanze na hwaule shila shashitejire. '
The Son of Man has come to search for those who are lost and to save them.’
11 Nabhahovwezye ego, ahonjeye ayanje omfano afwanaje aripapepe ne Yerusalemu, bhape bhasebhere aje oumwene owa Ngolobhe ubhonesha nunari.
As the people were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell them a parable. He did so because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to be proclaimed at once.
12 Basi wayanga, 'Omntu omo kabaila asafiriye abhare ensi yahutari ili ahwipere oumwene na were.
He said, ‘A nobleman once went to a distant country to receive his appointment to a kingdom and then return.
13 Wabhakwizya abhantu kumi katika asontezi bhakwe awapera amafungu kumi agehela wabhabhora bhombaji ebiashara hata nehayenza.'
He called ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds of silver each, and told them to trade with them during his absence.
14 Lelo abhantu abhe boma lyakwa bhavititwe bhasontezyezye oujumbe hurondore na yanje setihumwanza ono atilongozye.'
But his subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say “We will not have this man as our king.”
15 Yabha nawawela apete oumwene wakwe wamuru bhakwizizwe bhala atumwa bhabhapiye ehela, ili amanye efaida yapete shila mntu huchuruzi wakwe.
On his return, after having been appointed king, he directed that the servants to whom he had given his money should be summoned, so that he might learn what amount of trade they had done.
16 Wenza owahwande wayanga, `Gosi, ifungu liretire efaida eye fungu kumi zaidi. '
The first came up, and said “Sir, your ten pounds have made a hundred.”
17 Wabhora, Shinza mtumwa mwinza hwashila sholi mwaminifu hunongwa endodo obhe na mamlaka amafungu juu ya maboma kumi. '
“Well done, good servant!” exclaimed the master. “As you have proved trustworthy in a very small matter, I appoint you governor over ten towns.”
18 Wenza owabhele wayanga, 'Gosi, ifungu lyaho liretire amafungu gasanu efiada.'
When the second came, he said “Your ten pounds, Sir, have produced fifty.”
19 Wabhora ono wape awe owe juu eye maboma gasanu.'
So the master said to him “And you I appoint over five towns.”
20 Wenza owamwabho wayanga, `Gosi eli lifungu lyaho ambalo nabheshere mbuto mreso.'
Another servant also came and said “Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put away in a handkerchief.
21 afwanaje namwogope afwanaje oli mntu okhome ohwefu husobheshere okhome, ohwefu hasobheshere okonga hasaga ototire.
For I was afraid of you, because you are a stern man. You take what you have not planted, and reap what you have not sown.”
22 Wabhora ambahulonje hwiromu lyaho wotumwa wobhibhi awe wamenye aje endi mntu khome. Nehwefwe hasembeshere na ekonga husetolile.
The master answered “Out of your own mouth I judge you, you worthless servant. You knew that I am a stern man, that I take what I have not planted, and reap what I have not sown?
23 Basi, eshi sohabheshere ehela yane hwa bhafumia eriba ili nehwenza enjagaje pandwemo nefaida yakwe?
Then why didn’t you put my money into a bank? And I, on my return, could have claimed it with interest.
24 Wabhabhola bhabhemeleye papepe fyori elyo ifungu mpere ola yali namafungu kumi.'
Take away from him the ten pounds,” he said to those standing by, “and give them to the one who has the hundred.”
25 Bhabhora, `Gosi, anago amafungu kumi. '
“But, Sir,” they said, “he has a hundred pounds already!”
26 Embabhora, shila yali nahantu abhapewe lelo ola yasalinahantu bhafyolwe hata halinaho.
“I tell you,” he answered, “that, to him who has, more will be given, but, from him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.
27 Antele bhala adui bhane bhadebhahwanza aje embalongozye bhareti epa mbhabhole hwitagalila lyane.”
But as for my enemies, these men who would not have me as their king, bring them here and put them to death in my presence.”’
28 Nawamala ayanje ego atanguliye hwitagalila wazubha abhare hu Yerusalemu.
After saying this, Jesus went on in front, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Yabha na paramiye pa Bethfage na Bethania, hwigamba lyalihwetwa Mizeituni, asontezyezye bhabhele katika bhala asambeleziwa,
It was when Jesus had almost reached Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, that he sent on two of the disciples.
30 wayanga: `Bhalaji mpaka nshijiji shila shashili papepe omwana-dogomi apinyilwe ambaye sawayile ahwinjilwe no mntu yoyonti asele mwauli mrete epa.
‘Go to the village facing us,’ he said, ‘and, when you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has yet ridden; untie it and lead it here.
31 Na nkashile omntu abhabhozye eshi mhumwalayanji eshi Ogosi ane shida nawo.”
And, if anybody asks you “Why are you untying it?”, you are to say this – “The Master wants it.”’
32 Na bhala bhasontezywe bhalile bhalolile ne nshe shabhabholele.
So the two who were sent went and found it as Jesus had told them.
33 Nabhali bhahumwaula omwana-dogomi abhanesho bhabhabhozya mbona mhwaula edogomi?'
While they were untying the foal, the owners asked them – ‘Why are you untying the foal?’
34 Bhayanga, `Ogosi aline shida nawo. '
And the two disciples answered – ‘The Master wants it.’
35 Bhatwala hwa Yesu bhara amenda gabho juu ya mwana dogomi bhamwinjizya oYesu.
Then they led it back to Jesus, and threw their cloaks on the foal and put Jesus on it.
36 Na hali abhala bhabhambshe amenda gabho mwidara.
As he went along, the people kept spreading their cloaks in the road.
37 Hata nali aparamiye ahwishe mwigamba elya Mizeituni, ikundi lyonti elyasambelezewa wakwe bhahandira ashime na husifu Ongolobhe humazu amagosi eye mambo gakwe age mahaa gabhagalolile,
When he had almost reached the place where the road led down the Mount of Olives, everyone of the many disciples began in their joy to praise God loudly for all the miracles that they had seen:
38 bhayanga, 'Ndiye yasayilwe mwene yahwenza hwitawa elya Gosi! Amani amwanya na utukufu ohwo amwanya!'
‘Blessed is He who comes – our king – in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory on high.’
39 Bhamo Afarisayo bhabhahari pabongano bhabhora, Sambelezi obhakhane asambelezi wa bhaho. '
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, ‘Teacher, restrain your disciples.’
40 Wagalula wayanga embabhora amwe nkabhapome kati ebhe amawe gabhohomere ohoro. '
But Jesus answered, ‘I tell you that if they are silent, the stones will call out.’
41 Nawafiha papepe walilola iboma walilillaa,
When he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it, and said,
42 wayanga, lelo ogamenye hata awe katika isiku eli gagawanziwa amani! Lelo eshi gafisilye pamaso gaho.
‘If only you had known, while yet there was time – even you – the things that make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your sight.
43 Afwanaje isiku zyayenza adui bhaho nabhayihuzenjela boma, lizyongole bhaihuzyongola epande zyonti.
For a time is coming when your enemies will surround you with earthworks, and encircle you, and hem you in on all sides;
44 Bhayihugwisya pansi nabhana bhaho mhati yaho. Bhasiteshere iwe juu iwe, afwanaje sohamanyaga amajira agahwenzele hwaho'.
they will trample you down and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.’
45 Winjita mwibhanza wanda abhafumie bhala bhabhabhombaga ebiashara,
Jesus went into the Temple Courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
46 abhabhola, “Isimbwilwe, 'Enyumba yane ebhabhe nyumba ye mputo.' lelo amwe muyibhombile abhe ligwenya lyo bhafyola”.
saying as he did so, ‘Scripture says – “My house will be a house of prayer”; but you have made it a den of robbers.’
47 Wape wabha asambelezya shila lisiku mwibhanza. Lelo Gosi Abhakohani na simbi na agosi abhabhantu bhali bhahwanza idara elya hutezye,
Jesus continued to teach each day in the Temple Courts; but the chief priests and teachers of the Law were eager to take his life, and so also were the leaders of the people.
48 sebhalilora elya bhombe afwanaje abhantu bhonti bhahwandamano nawo bhahutejezya.
Yet they could not see what to do, for the people all hung on his words.
