Luk 19
1 Jisu Jeriko nga vngpitla vngto.
Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.
2 Ho hoka lampu naayanv mvnwng lokv kaiyachok nvgo dooto vkvgv aminv Jakias, nw achialvbv nyitvto.
There was a man there, known by the name of Zacchaeus, who was a senior tax collector and a rich man.
3 Nw Jisu yvvdw kaadubv vla rikwto, vbvritola nw adwngnv nyi gubv rito okv nyipam v twngtvnam lvkwnglo nw Jisunyi kaapa nyumato.
He tried to see what Jesus was like; but, being short, he was unable to do so because of the crowd.
4 Vkvlvgabv nw nyipam a jokcho yala koksitkokrik singnv gulo gechato Jisu ho lamtv hoka vngpit rilo ninyia kaadubv vla.
So he ran on ahead and climbed into a mulberry tree to see Jesus, for he knew that he must pass that way.
5 Vdwlo Jisu ho hoka vngchi tokudw, nw kaadung toku, okv Jakiasnyi minto, “Baapubv itoku, Jakias, ogulvgavbolo ngo silu noogv naam lo doorung tvvdunv.”
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 Jakias baapubv geludanv ngv achialvbv himpula ninyia alvbv aamu toku.
So Zacchaeus got down quickly, and joyfully welcomed him.
7 Nyi mvnwng hum kaanv vdwv arwnglo mimi sinyato, “So nyi angv si rimurnv nyi gv naam lo nyen bv aadunv!”
On seeing this, everyone began to complain, ‘He has gone to stay with a man who is an outcast.’
8 Jakias dakrap dato okv Jisunyi minto, “Tamsarnv, tvvrialabv! Ngo ngoogv yikungyira nga tunggonyi heemanv vdwa jireku, okv ngo yvvnyi dvkup pvkudw, ngo ninyia api yagu jiya reku.”
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 Jisu ninyia minto, “Silu so gv naam so ringnam v aapvku, ho lvga so nyi si Abraham gvka husi v.
‘Salvation has come to this house today,’ answered Jesus, ‘for even this man is a son of Abraham.
10 Nyia Kuunyilo ngv nyekunv vdwa makarla ringdukubv aapvnv.”
The Son of Man has come to search for those who are lost and to save them.’
11 Nyi vdwgv um tvria rilo, Jisu mimbwngla minchisinam go bunua mintamto. Nw vjak Jerusalem lo aachi dvlvbv ritoku, okv Pwknvyarnv gv Karv ngv aadaribo vla bunu mvngnyato.
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 Vkvlvgabv nw minto “Hoka ho nyi ako kaibv mvngdvnam go dooto nw aduko mookulo vngtv nvgo Dvbv bv mvku dvbv vla, ho kochingbv nw naam aakur dubv vla rungto.
He said, ‘A nobleman once went to a distant country to receive his appointment to a kingdom and then return.
13 Nw gv vngrap maadvbv, nw ninyigv pakbu vring vdwa gokkumto okv bunua ain lokdwng vkv charchak go jigvrila minto, ‘Kaatoka ngoogv vngro rilo nonu so sam ogugo pwlwkpaalwk la pwtam paatam rila rinv.’
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 Vjak, ninyigv mookugv nyi vdwv ninyia kaanwng mato, okv vkvlvgabv bunu gindungpingko vdwa mimu dubv vla ninyigv kochinglo vngmuto, ‘Ngonu so nyi sum ngonugv Dvbv bv vla mvngma dunv.’”
But his subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say “We will not have this man as our king.”
15 “Nyi anga Dvbv bv mvtoku okv aakur toku. Nw pakbu vdwa ninyigv kaagialo lvkin gubv aadum dubv minto, bunu vdwgo pwkumpaakum pvdw um kaadubv vla.
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 Atokchogv angv aatoku okv minto, ‘Tamsarnv, ngo ain lokdwng charring go paakumpv noogv charkin go jiku lokv.’
The first came up, and said “Sir, your ten pounds have made a hundred.”
17 ‘Alvbv ripv,’ nw mintoku: ‘No alvnv pakbu go! no miangnv yikungyira lo jwkjwkvrwkbv rinv go, ngo nam pamtv vring nga rigvdubv jidunv.’
“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 Anyi nvnv pakbu angv aato okv minto, ‘Tamsarnv, ngo ain lokdwng charngu go paakumpv no gv charkin go jiku lokv.’
When the second came, he said “Your ten pounds, Sir, have produced fifty.”
19 So anga nw minto, ‘No pamtv angu a rigvnvbv rire.’
So the master said to him “And you I appoint over five towns.”
20 Pakbu gunv aato okv minto, ‘Tamsarnv, siinv noogv ain lokdwng ngv; ngo sam jeriap gulo vvsi pvnv.
Another servant also came and said “Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put away in a handkerchief.
21 Ngo nam busuto, ogulvgavbolo no nyi kingin nvgo. No nokv gvnga maka naadu okv noogv paklwk maanam humka nvvdu.’
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 Nw pakbu anga minto, ‘No alvmanv pakbu! ngo noogv mvnggwngbv alvmanv gaam um minnvla nam miakayare! No nga gwlwknv nyi go, ngo gvngv manv ngaaka naanv gubv okv ngoogv paklwk maanam humka nvvnv gubv chimpvi.
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 Alvdu, vbvrikunamv, no ogubv ngoogv morko nga Benk morko kuu bvngkulo lwkma pvnv? Vbvrikunamv ngo naakur rikunyi morko kuu a lvkobv naaku svnga.’
Then why didn’t you put my money into a bank? And I, on my return, could have claimed it with interest.
24 Vbvrikunamv nw hoka daknv vdwa minto, ‘Nw gvlokv ain lokdwng nga naatokuka okv hum Pakbu ain lokdwng charring go doonv yanga jitoka.’
Take away from him the ten pounds,” he said to those standing by, “and give them to the one who has the hundred.”
25 Vbvritola bunu ninyia minto, ‘Tamsarnv, nw lokdwng charring go doogvla doopv!’
“But, Sir,” they said, “he has a hundred pounds already!”
26 ‘Ngo nonua mindunv,’ nw mirwkto, ‘Nyidum mvnwngnga yvvdw ogugo doodunv, hum jidv yayare; vbvritola yvvdw ogugoka kaama dunv, ninyigv achukgo doogv namaka um ninyigv lokv naaritre.
“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 Vjak, ngoogv nyiru minsunv vdwa yvvbunudw nga bunugv Dvbv bv mvnwng madunv vdwa, bunua so naalwk tvka okv ngoogv dooku soka mvki tokuka!’”
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 Jisu hum mintoku okv vbvrikunamv bunua vngchoyala Jerusalem bv vngto.
After saying this, Jesus went on in front, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Nw Betpej okv Betani gv adar Olib moodw lo aarilo, nw lvbwlaksu anyigo vngcho moto
It was when Jesus had almost reached Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, that he sent on two of the disciples.
30 svbv mingvrila: “Vngnyika nonugv vnglwkjiku nampum alo; nonugv vnglwk rilo, nonu siak ako riokwka manamgo takpvla vvpvnamgo kaapare. Um paksoklaila soka aagv tvika.
‘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 Nyi gonv nonua hum ogubv paksok dunv vla minbo loka, Ahtu sum dinchidukv vla ninyia minpa laka.”
And, if anybody asks you “Why are you untying it?”, you are to say this – “The Master wants it.”’
32 Bunu bunugv lamtvlo vngkunamv Jisu gv bunua minam jvbv ogumvnwng nga paatoku.
So the two who were sent went and found it as Jesus had told them.
33 Bunugv siak a paksok rilo, ho gv atu v bunua minto, “nonuno um ogubv paksok dunvla?”
While they were untying the foal, the owners asked them – ‘Why are you untying the foal?’
34 “Ahtu sum dinchidu,” bunu mirwkto,
And the two disciples answered – ‘The Master wants it.’
35 okv bunu siak a naalaila Jisu gvlo aagv jitoku. Vbvrikunamv bunu bunugv vji a siak aolo puchato okv Jisunyi siak aolo chadubv ridurto.
Then they led it back to Jesus, and threw their cloaks on the foal and put Jesus on it.
36 Ninyigv siak aolo vngrilo nyi vdwv lamtvlo bunugv vji vdwa pipv nyato.
As he went along, the people kept spreading their cloaks in the road.
37 Vdwlo Nw Jerusalem gv nvchilo aatokudw, Olib moodw bv lamtv ilwk jiku mooku hoka, ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwv twngtv rungbv bunugv ninyigvlo kaanam mvnwngnga Pwknvyarnvnyi umbonyikv vla okv ninyia hartvla minrap nyatoku:
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 “Pwknvyarnv ayalaka Dvbvnyi yvvdw Ahtu gv amin lokv aanvnga! Nyidomooku lo sarsopoyo reku okv Pwknvyarnv gvlo kairungbv!”
‘Blessed is He who comes – our king – in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory on high.’
39 Vbvrikunamv nyipam lokv Parisis megonv Jisunyi minto. “Tamsarnv,” bunu minto “Noogv lvbwlaksu vdwa choibvkv vla minto!”
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, ‘Teacher, restrain your disciples.’
40 Jisu mirwkto, “Ngo nonua mindunv bunu choi kubolo, vlwng vdwv bunu atuv gamtv rungbv rumrapre.”
But Jesus answered, ‘I tell you that if they are silent, the stones will call out.’
41 Nw pamtv lo aanwk lvlvto, okv vdwlo nw hum kaapa tokudw, nw ho gv lvgabv kapto,
When he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it, and said,
42 minto, “Nonu silu sarsopoyo gv lvgalo ogugo aadu nvdw um chinv guloka! Vbvritola nonu vjak um kaapa kumare!
‘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 Nonua nonugv nyimak vdwv aagvrila goyumgochila vnglin chaalin momabv tumla vvpv dw alu v aariku.
For a time is coming when your enemies will surround you with earthworks, and encircle you, and hem you in on all sides;
44 Bunu nonua achuk goka dooku madubv mvyak mvchakre okv nonugv vlwngsvlu arwnglo doonv nyi vdwaka; vlwng pwgoka dookulo doomu mare, ogulvgavbolo nonu Pwknvyarnv gv vdwlo nonua ringdubv vla aanama kaachin manam lvkwnglo!”
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 Vbvrikunamv Jisu Pwknvyarnvnaam lo vngtoku okv korvpachu pioknv vdwa charlin raptoku,
Jesus went into the Temple Courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
46 bunua minto, “So si Darwknv Kitaplo lvkdu, ‘Ngoogv Naam a kumgingku naam bv vla mindunv.’ Vbvritola nonu hum chonvmvvnv tosiku bv mvpv!”
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 Jisu alu gv dwkia Pwknvyarnvnaam arwnglo tamsarto. Nyibu butvnv vdwv, Pvbv tamsarnv vdwv, okv nyi vdwa rigvnv vdwv Jisunyi mvki dubv mvngtoku,
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 vbvritola bunu ninyia vbvridubv lamtv paanyu matoku, ogulvgavbolo nyi mvnwngngv ninyia tvvria bwngto, gamgoka nyemu nwngma vla mvngnyato.
Yet they could not see what to do, for the people all hung on his words.
