Luke 19
1 Jesu sì wọ Jeriko lọ, ó sì ń kọjá láàrín rẹ̀.
Jesus entered Jericho and walked through the town.
2 Sì kíyèsi i, ọkùnrin kan wà tí a ń pè ní Sakeu, ó sì jẹ́ olórí agbowó òde kan, ó sì jẹ́ ọlọ́rọ̀.
A man was there named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector. He was very rich.
3 Ó sì ń fẹ́ láti rí ẹni tí Jesu jẹ́: kò sì lè rí i, nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, àti nítorí tí òun jẹ́ ènìyàn kúkúrú.
He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he couldn't see over the crowd.
4 Ó sì súré síwájú, ó gun orí igi sikamore kan, kí ó bà lè rí i: nítorí tí yóò kọjá lọ níhà ibẹ̀.
So he ran ahead, and climbed up a sycamore tree to see Jesus as he passed by.
5 Nígbà tí Jesu sì dé ibẹ̀, ó gbé ojú sókè, ó sì rí i, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Sakeu! Yára, kí o sì sọ̀kalẹ̀; nítorí pé èmi yóò wọ ilé rẹ lónìí.”
When Jesus got there, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly! I need to stay at your house today.”
6 Ó sì yára, ó sọ̀kalẹ̀, ó sì fi ayọ̀ gbà á.
Zacchaeus climbed down quickly and was so happy to welcome Jesus to his home.
7 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì rí i, gbogbo wọn ń kùn, wí pé, “Ó lọ bá ọkùnrin ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ náà ní àlejò.”
When the people saw this they all complained, “He's gone to stay with such a sinner!”
8 Sakeu sì dìde, ó sì wí fún Olúwa pé, “Wò ó, Olúwa, ààbọ̀ ohun ìní mi ni mo fi fún tálákà; bí mo bá sì fi èké gba ohun kan lọ́wọ́ ẹnikẹ́ni, èmi san án padà ní ìlọ́po mẹ́rin!”
But Zacchaeus stood up and said before the Lord, “Look, I'm giving half of everything I own to the poor, and if I've cheated anybody, I'll pay them back four times as much!”
9 Jesu sì wí fún un pé, “Lónìí ni ìgbàlà wọ ilé yìí, níwọ̀n bí òun pẹ̀lú ti jẹ́ ọmọ Abrahamu.
In response Jesus said, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man has shown he is a son of Abraham too.
10 Nítorí Ọmọ Ènìyàn dé láti wá àwọn tí ó nù kiri, àti láti gbà wọ́n là.”
For the Son of man came to search for and save those who are lost.”
11 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ń gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí, ó sì tẹ̀síwájú láti pa òwe kan, nítorí tí ó súnmọ́ Jerusalẹmu, àti nítorí tí wọn ń rò pé, ìjọba Ọlọ́run yóò farahàn nísinsin yìí.
While they were still paying attention, Jesus told them a story for they were close to Jerusalem and the people thought that God's kingdom was going to become a reality right away.
12 Ó sì wí pé, “Ọkùnrin ọlọ́lá kan lọ sí ìlú òkèrè láti gba ìjọba kí ó sì padà.
“Once there was a nobleman who left home to go to a distant country to be crowned king there, and then to return.
13 Ó sì pe àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ mẹ́wàá, ó fi owó mina mẹ́wàá fún wọn, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹ máa ṣòwò títí èmi ó fi dé!’
He called ten of his servants, divided money equally among them, and told them, ‘Invest this money until I return.’
14 “Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ará ìlù rẹ̀ kórìíra rẹ̀, wọ́n sì rán ikọ̀ tẹ̀lé e, wí pé, ‘Àwa kò fẹ́ kí ọkùnrin yìí jẹ ọba lórí wa.’
But his people hated him, and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We won't have this man as king over us.’
15 “Nígbà tí ó gba ìjọba tan, tí ó padà dé, ó pàṣẹ pé, kí a pe àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ wọ̀nyí tí òun ti fi owó fún wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, nítorí kí ó le mọ iye èrè tí olúkúlùkù ti jẹ nínú iṣẹ́ òwò wọn.
After he had been crowned king he returned. He ordered his servants brought to him. He wanted to know what profit they had made by investing the money he had given them.
16 “Èyí èkínní sì wá, ó wí pé, ‘Olúwa, owó mina rẹ jèrè owó mina mẹ́wàá sí i.’
The first servant came in and said, ‘Lord, your money has earned ten times as much.’
17 “Olúwa rẹ̀ sì wí fún un pé, ‘O ṣeun, ìwọ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rere! Nítorí tí ìwọ ṣe olóòtítọ́ ní ohun kínkínní, gba àṣẹ lórí ìlú mẹ́wàá.’
‘Well done! You're a good servant,’ said the king. ‘Since you proved yourself trustworthy in a very small matter, I'm placing you in charge of ten cities.’
18 “Èyí èkejì sì wá, ó wí pé, ‘Olúwa, owó mina rẹ jèrè owó mina márùn.’
The second servant came in and said, ‘Lord, your money has earned five times as much.’
19 “Olúwa rẹ sì wí fún un pẹ̀lú pé, ‘Ìwọ pẹ̀lú joyè ìlú márùn-ún!’
‘I'm placing you in charge of five cities,’ said the king.
20 “Òmíràn sì wá, ó wí pé, ‘Olúwa, wò ó owó mina rẹ tí ń bẹ lọ́wọ́ mi ni mo dì sínú aṣọ pélébé kan;
Another servant came in and said, ‘Lord, look, here's your money back. I kept it safe, wrapped up in a cloth.
21 nítorí mo bẹ̀rù rẹ, àti nítorí tí ìwọ ṣe òǹrorò ènìyàn, ìwọ a máa mú èyí tí ìwọ kò fi lélẹ̀, ìwọ a sì máa ká èyí tí ìwọ kò gbìn!’
I was afraid of you because you're a hard man. You take what doesn't belong to you, and you harvest what you didn't plant.’
22 “Olúwa rẹ sì wí fún un pé, ‘Ní ẹnu ara rẹ náà ni èmi ó ṣe ìdájọ́ rẹ, ìwọ ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ búburú, ìwọ mọ̀ pé òǹrorò ènìyàn ni mí, pé, èmi a máa mú èyí tí èmi kò fi lélẹ̀ èmi a sì máa ká èyí tí èmi kò gbìn.
‘I'll judge you by your own words,’ the king replied. ‘You know I'm a hard man, who as you say, takes what doesn't belong to me, and I harvest what I didn't plant.
23 Èéha sì ti ṣe tí ìwọ kò fi owó mi pamọ́ sí ilé ìfowópamọ́, pé nígbà tí mo bá dé, èmi ìbá ti béèrè rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú èlé?’
Why then didn't you deposit my money in the bank, so that when I returned I could have had my money with interest?’
24 “Ó sì wí fún àwọn tí ó dúró létí ibẹ̀ pé, ‘Ẹ gba owó mina náà lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, kí ẹ sì fi í fún ẹni tí ó ní owó mina mẹ́wàá.’
The king told those who were standing beside him, ‘Take the money away from him, and give it to the one who made ten times as much.’
25 “Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, ‘Olúwa, ó ní owó mina mẹ́wàá.’
‘But master, he already has ten times as much,’ they replied.
26 “Mo wí fún yín pé, ‘Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ní, ni a ó fi fún, àti lọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí kò ní èyí tí ó ní pàápàá a ó gbà á lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀.
The king said, ‘I tell you, to those who have, more will be given; but those who do not have, even what they have will be taken away from them.
27 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọ̀tá mi wọ̀nyí, tí kò fẹ́ kí èmi jẹ ọba lórí wọn ẹ mú wọn wá ìhín yìí, kí ẹ sì pa wọ́n níwájú mi!’”
And as for my enemies who didn't want me to be king over them, bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”
28 Nígbà tí ó sì ti wí nǹkan wọ̀nyí tan, ó lọ síwájú, ó ń gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
After he'd finished telling them this story, Jesus left for Jerusalem, walking on ahead.
29 Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí ó súnmọ́ Betfage àti Betani ní òkè tí a ń pè ní òkè olifi, ó rán àwọn méjì nínú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀.
As he approached Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples, telling them:
30 Wí pé, “Ẹ lọ sí ìletò tí ó kọjú sí yín; nígbà tí ẹ̀yin bá wọ̀ ọ́ lọ, ẹ̀yin ó rí ọmọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ kan tí a so, tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò gùn rí, ẹ tú u, kí ẹ sì fà á wá.
“Go to the village farther on. As you enter it you'll find a colt tied up that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
31 Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá sì bi yín pé, ‘Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń tú u?’ Kí ẹ̀yin wí báyìí pé, ‘Olúwa ń fẹ́ lò ó.’”
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Àwọn tí a rán sì mú ọ̀nà wọn pọ̀n, wọ́n sì bá a gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti wí fún wọn.
So the two disciples went and found that everything was just as Jesus had said.
33 Bí wọ́n sì ti ń tú ọmọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ náà, àwọn Olúwa rẹ̀ bi wọ́n pé, “Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin fi ń tu kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ náà?”
As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Olúwa fẹ́ lò ó.”
The disciples replied, “The Lord needs it.”
35 Wọ́n sì fà á tọ Jesu wá, wọ́n sì tẹ́ aṣọ sí ẹ̀yìn ọmọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ náà, wọ́n sì gbé Jesu kà á.
They brought the colt to Jesus. Then they threw their cloaks over it, and sat Jesus on its back.
36 Bí ó sì ti ń lọ wọ́n tẹ́ aṣọ wọn sí ọ̀nà.
As he rode along, people spread their cloaks on the road.
37 Bí ó sì ti súnmọ́ etí ibẹ̀ ní gẹ̀rẹ́gẹ̀rẹ́ òkè olifi, gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í yọ̀, wọ́n sì fi ohùn rara yin Ọlọ́run, nítorí iṣẹ́ ńlá gbogbo tí wọ́n ti rí,
As he approached Jerusalem, right where the road goes down from the Mount of Olives, the crowd of disciples all began shouting joyful praises to God at the top of their voices for all the miracles they had seen.
38 wí pé, “Olùbùkún ni ọba tí ó ń bọ̀ wá ní orúkọ Olúwa!” “Àlàáfíà ní ọ̀run, àti ògo ni òkè ọ̀run!”
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord,” they shouted. “Peace in heaven and glory in highest heaven.”
39 Àwọn kan nínú àwọn Farisi nínú àwùjọ náà sì wí fún un pé, “Olùkọ́ bá àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ wí.”
Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, stop your disciples from saying that.”
40 Ó sì dá wọn lóhùn, ó wí fún wọn pé, “Mo wí fún yín, bí àwọn wọ̀nyí bá pa ẹnu wọn mọ́, àwọn òkúta yóò kígbe sókè.”
But Jesus replied, “I tell you that if they kept quiet then the stones will shout!”
41 Nígbà tí ó sì súnmọ́ etílé, ó síjú wo ìlú náà, ó sọkún sí i lórí,
But as he got closer, he saw the city and wept over it.
42 Ó ń wí pé, “Ìbá ṣe pé ìwọ mọ̀, lónìí yìí, àní ìwọ, ohun tí í ṣe tí àlàáfíà rẹ! Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí wọ́n pamọ́ kúrò lójú rẹ.
“I really wish today that you, even you, had known the path that leads to peace!” he said. “But now it's hidden from your eyes.
43 Nítorí ọjọ́ ń bọ̀ fún ọ, tí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ yóò mọ odi bèbè yí ọ ká, àní tí wọn yóò sì yí ọ ká, wọn ó sì ká ọ mọ́ níhà gbogbo.
The time is coming upon you when your enemies will besiege you, building ramps to attack you, encircling you and closing you in from every side.
44 Wọn ó sì wó ọ palẹ̀ ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ pẹ̀lú rẹ; wọn kì yóò sì fi òkúta kan sílẹ̀ lórí ara wọn; nítorí ìwọ kò mọ ọjọ́ ìbẹ̀wò rẹ.”
They will smash you to the ground, you and your children within you. They won't leave one stone on another within you, for you refused to accept salvation when it came to you.”
45 Ó sì wọ inú tẹmpili lọ, ó sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí lé àwọn tí ń tà nínú rẹ̀ sóde;
Jesus entered the Temple and began driving out all the people trading there.
46 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “A ti kọ̀wé rẹ̀ pé, ‘Ilé mi yóò jẹ́ ilé àdúrà?’ Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ti sọ ọ́ di ihò àwọn ọlọ́ṣà.”
He told them, “Scriptures state that ‘my house will be a house of prayer,’ but you've turned it into a den of thieves.”
47 Ó sì ń kọ́ni lójoojúmọ́ ní tẹmpili, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn olórí àlùfáà, àti àwọn akọ̀wé, àti àwọn olórí àwọn ènìyàn ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa á.
He was teaching in the Temple every day. The chief priests, the religious teachers, and the leaders of the people were trying to kill him.
48 Wọn kò sì rí nǹkan kan tí wọn ìbá ṣe; nítorí gbogbo ènìyàn ṣù mọ́ ọn láti gbọ́rọ̀ rẹ̀.
But they couldn't find a way to do it because everyone appreciated him, hanging on his every word.
