Luka 19
1 Che Yesu ŵajinjile ku Yeliko ni ŵaliji nkupita.
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 Jwapali mundu jumo liina lyakwe che Sakayo, juŵaliji jwankulu jwa ŵakukumbikanya nsongo, nombe jwaliji jwachipanje.
There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 Ŵasachile kwawona Che Yesu kuti ŵaliji ŵaani nambo ŵalepele ligongo lya winji wa ŵandu ni pakuŵa ŵaliji jwanjipi.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 Nipele, ŵautuchile mmbujo ni ŵakwesile chitela chachikulungwa cha nkuju kuti akombole kwawona pakuŵa ŵaliji nkupita lyele litala lyo.
He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
5 Che Yesu paŵaiche peuto po ŵalolite mwinani ni ŵansalile, “Che Sakayo, ntuluche chitema pakuŵa lelo jino ikumajila kulonjela mu nyuumba jenu.”
When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
6 Che Sakayo ŵajangwiye kutuluka ni ŵapochele kwa kusengwa.
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Ŵandu wose paŵaiweni yele, ŵatandite kunyinyita achitiji, “Ajinjile kulonjela kwa mundu jwa sambi.”
When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
8 Nambo che Sakayo ŵajimi paujo ni ŵaasalile Che Yesu, “Ambuje mumbilikanichisye! Une ching'aŵanye ipanje yangu pambindikati ni chinape ŵandu ŵakulaga ni iŵaga najigele chindu cha mundu jwalijose kwa chigongomalo, chinauchisye kacheche.”
Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, 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 Che Yesu ŵansalile kuti, “Lelo jino ukulupusyo uiche mu nyuumba ji pakuŵa nombejo ali jwauŵelesi u che Iblahimu.
Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu aiche kukwasosa ni kukwakulupusya ŵasochele.”
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
11 Ŵandu ŵaliji nkwapilikanila Che Yesu. Ni paŵaliji nkuŵandichila ku Yelusalemu ŵandu ŵaganisyaga kuti Umwenye wa Akunnungu uŵandichile kuoneka. Kwa ligongo lyo ŵatanjile sooni chitagu.
As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
12 Ŵatite, “Jwapali mundu jwa lukosyo lwa umwenye juŵajawile kuchilambo cha kutalika kuti akapegwe umwenye ni jwankulu jwa mamwenye ni kuuja.
He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
13 Akanaŵe kwaula, ŵaaŵilasile achikapolo ŵao likumi ni ŵapele kila mundu mbiya liunjili limo ni mbiya jimo malinga ni mbote ja miesi jitatu ni kwasalila, ‘Nsumisye malonda mpaka pachiuje.’
He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
14 Nambo achinsyene musi, ŵanchimile ni ŵalajisye ŵantenga ajaule akajile ‘Ngatukunsaka mundu ju atulongosye uwe.’
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’
15 “Nambo, mundu jo ŵausile sooni kumusi ali amasile kupochela umwenye ni ŵalamwile kuti akaaŵilanjile achikapolo uŵapele mbiya ŵala kuti achimanyilile chachipundile chajinjisye kila mundu.
“When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, 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 Kapolo jwaandanda jwaiche paujo pao ni ŵatite, ‘Ambuje, mbiya jenu jimwambele jijonjesyeche mbiya likumi.’
The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
17 Nombewo ŵansalile, ‘Ntesile yambone, mmwejo ndi kapolo jwambone. Pakuŵa mwaliji jwakukulupilichika pa indu yenandi, nkoleje ulamusi pachanya pa misi likumi!’
“He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
18 Kapolo jwaaŵili jwaiche nikuti, ‘Ambuje, mbiya jenu jimwambele jijonjesyeche mbiya sine nsano.’
“The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
19 Nombewo ŵansalile jwelejo kuti, ‘Nomwe ŵakwe nkoleje ulamusi pachanya misi nsano.’
“So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
20 “Nipele, kapolo jwine jwaiche achitiji, ‘Ambuje, aji ni mbiya jenu jimwambele jila, nagosile uchenene mu chiguo cha mwana chammakono.
Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 Ligongo nanjogopaga, pakuŵa mmwe ndi mundu jwakunonopa ntima. Mundu junkuigala yangaŵa yenu ni kugoola yanganimpande.’
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 Nombewo ŵansalile, ‘Ngunnamula kwaligongo lya intite pakuŵecheta mmwe kapolo jwangalumbana! Ngati mwaamanyilile kuti une ndili mundu jwakunonopa ntima, jungwigala yangaŵa yangu ni jungugowola yanganimbande.
“He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will 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 Ligongo chi nganinjausya mbiya jangu kwa ŵakutyosya yakoonjecheka, kuti une pachiuje nyaule ngajigale ni yakupunda yakwe?’
Then why did not you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
24 “Pelepo ŵaasalile uŵajimi pepala ŵala, ‘Munsumule mbiya jo, nkaape jwakwete mbiya likumi jula.’
He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
25 Ŵanyawo ŵansalile, ‘Ambuje, nambo jwelejo akwete chile mbiya likumi!’
“They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
26 Nombewo ŵajanjile kuti, ‘Ngunsalila, kwa jwalijose jwakwete chindu chachipegwa ni kujonjechekwa. Nambo kwa jwanganakola chindu atamuno chamwana chakwete cho chichijigalikwe.
‘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 from him.
27 Nambo, yankati aŵaŵa ŵammagongo ŵangu uŵakanile kuti ninaalongosye, mwaichisye apano ni kwasikita paujo pangu.’”
But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
28 Che Yesu paŵaŵechete gelego, ŵajendelechele ni ulendo paujo pao wa ku Yelusalemu.
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Paŵaŵandichile ku Besefage ni ku Besania, chiŵandi ni chikwesya chachigumbele itela ya Miseituni, ŵalajisye ŵaŵili mwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
30 Ŵasalile kuti, “Njaule pa nsinda wauli mmbujo mwenu. Pachinkajinjile mu nsinda mo, chinkansimane mwanambunda jwataŵikwe jwanganakwelekwe ni mundu. Nkangopole ni kunnyikanawo apano.
saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
31 Sooni iŵaga chakammusye mundu kuti, ligongo chi nkungopola? Nkajile, ‘Ambuje akunsaka.’”
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Nipele, uŵalajisye ŵala ŵajawile ni ŵaisimene mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu.
Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
33 Paŵaliji nkungopola mwanambunda jula, achinsyene ni ŵausisye, “Ana ligongo chi nkungopola mwanambunda ju?”
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 Ŵajanjile, “Ambuje akunsaka.”
They said, “The Lord needs it.”
35 Ŵanjigele mwanambunda jula ni kwapelechela Che Yesu. Ŵatandiche iwalo yao pachanya pa mwanambunda jo ni ŵankwesisye Che Yesu pachanya pakwe.
Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
36 Paŵajendelechelelaga ni ulendo ŵandu ŵatandiche iwalo yao mwitala.
As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
37 Paŵaŵandichile ku Yelusalemu, palitala lyalikutuluchila kuchikwesya chachigumbele itela ya Miseituni, mpingo wose wa ŵandu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵatandite kuchina ni kwatogolela Akunnungu achinyanyisyaga ligongo lya yakusimonjeka yose iŵaiweni
As he was now getting near, 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 which they had seen,
38 ŵatite “Akole upile Mwenye jwakwika mu liina lya Ambuje. Chitendewele kwinani ni ukulu kwa Akumanani.”
saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
39 Mafalisayo ŵampepe ŵaŵaliji mu mpingo wa ŵandu mula ŵansalile Che Yesu kuti, “Jŵakwiganya, mwakalipile ŵakulijiganya ŵenu!”
Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
40 Che Yesu ŵajanjile kuti, “Ngunsalila ŵanyamwe, naga chamyalale ŵanyaŵa, maganga chigatande kunyokonya.”
He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
41 Paŵaŵandichile ni kuulola musi wa ku Yelusalemu, Che Yesu ŵalisile ligongo lya musi wo
When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 achitiji, “Ikaliji mbaya nkaimanyilile lelo jino, indu yaikwikanawo chitendewele! Nambo sambano isisiche pa meeso genu.
saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 Pakuŵa moŵa chigannyichile mmwe ni ŵammagongo ŵenu chansyunguchisye likumba ni chachinsyungula ni kummijikanya kosekose.
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 Chankasanye mmwe ni ŵaali nkati likumba lya musi wose ngapagwa liganga lichilisigale palijakwe, ligongo nganinkamanyilila katema paŵannyichile Akunnungu kukunkulupusya.”
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 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni ŵatandite kwaŵinjila paasa ŵaŵasumisyaga malonda,
He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
46 achitiji, “Ilembekwe yati, ‘Nyuumba jangu chijiŵe nyuumba ja kupopela’, nambo ŵanyamwe njitesile peuto pakulisisila ŵawiyi.”
saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
47 Che Yesu ŵaliji nkwiganya pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu lyuŵa ni lyuŵa. Nambo achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga che Musa ni ilongola ya ŵandu ŵasosile litala lya kwaulaga,
He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
48 nambo nganamanyilila ichajile pakupanganya, pakuŵa ŵandu wose ŵaliji nkwapilikanichisya uchenene.
They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
