Luka 19
1 Che Yesu ŵajinjile ku Yeliko ni ŵaliji nkupita.
And having entered, He was passing through Jericho,
2 Jwapali mundu jumo liina lyakwe che Sakayo, juŵaliji jwankulu jwa ŵakukumbikanya nsongo, nombe jwaliji jwachipanje.
and behold, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and 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.
and he was seeking to see Jesus, who He is, and was not able for the multitude, because he was small in stature,
4 Nipele, ŵautuchile mmbujo ni ŵakwesile chitela chachikulungwa cha nkuju kuti akombole kwawona pakuŵa ŵaliji nkupita lyele litala lyo.
and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore, that he may see Him, because through that [way] He was about to pass by.
5 Che Yesu paŵaiche peuto po ŵalolite mwinani ni ŵansalile, “Che Sakayo, ntuluche chitema pakuŵa lelo jino ikumajila kulonjela mu nyuumba jenu.”
And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, He saw him and said to him, “Zaccheus, having hurried, come down, for it is necessary for Me to remain in your house today”;
6 Che Sakayo ŵajangwiye kutuluka ni ŵapochele kwa kusengwa.
and he having hurried came down, and received Him rejoicing;
7 Ŵandu wose paŵaiweni yele, ŵatandite kunyinyita achitiji, “Ajinjile kulonjela kwa mundu jwa sambi.”
and having seen [it], they were all murmuring, saying, “He went in to lodge with a sinful man!”
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.”
And Zaccheus having stood, said to the LORD, “Behold, half of my goods, Lord, I give to the poor, and if I took by false accusation anything of anyone, I give back fourfold.”
9 Che Yesu ŵansalile kuti, “Lelo jino ukulupusyo uiche mu nyuumba ji pakuŵa nombejo ali jwauŵelesi u che Iblahimu.
And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation came to this house, inasmuch as 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 the 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.
And while they are hearing these things, having added He spoke an allegory, because of His being near to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the Kingdom of God is immediately about to appear.
12 Ŵatite, “Jwapali mundu jwa lukosyo lwa umwenye juŵajawile kuchilambo cha kutalika kuti akapegwe umwenye ni jwankulu jwa mamwenye ni kuuja.
He therefore said, “A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to 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.’
and having called ten servants of his own, he gave ten minas to them and said to them, Do business—until I come;
14 Nambo achinsyene musi, ŵanchimile ni ŵalajisye ŵantenga ajaule akajile ‘Ngatukunsaka mundu ju atulongosye uwe.’
and his citizens were hating him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, We do not wish this one 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.
And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what anyone had done in business.
16 Kapolo jwaandanda jwaiche paujo pao ni ŵatite, ‘Ambuje, mbiya jenu jimwambele jijonjesyeche mbiya likumi.’
And the first came near, saying, Lord, your mina gained ten minas;
17 Nombewo ŵansalile, ‘Ntesile yambone, mmwejo ndi kapolo jwambone. Pakuŵa mwaliji jwakukulupilichika pa indu yenandi, nkoleje ulamusi pachanya pa misi likumi!’
and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because you became faithful in a very little, be having authority over ten cities.
18 Kapolo jwaaŵili jwaiche nikuti, ‘Ambuje, mbiya jenu jimwambele jijonjesyeche mbiya sine nsano.’
And the second came, saying, Lord, your mina made five minas;
19 Nombewo ŵansalile jwelejo kuti, ‘Nomwe ŵakwe nkoleje ulamusi pachanya misi nsano.’
and he also said to this one, And you, become [ruler] over five cities.
20 “Nipele, kapolo jwine jwaiche achitiji, ‘Ambuje, aji ni mbiya jenu jimwambele jila, nagosile uchenene mu chiguo cha mwana chammakono.
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, your mina, that I had lying away in a napkin;
21 Ligongo nanjogopaga, pakuŵa mmwe ndi mundu jwakunonopa ntima. Mundu junkuigala yangaŵa yenu ni kugoola yanganimpande.’
for I was afraid of you, because you are an austere man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what 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.
And he says to him, Out of your mouth I will judge you, evil servant: you knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!
23 Ligongo chi nganinjausya mbiya jangu kwa ŵakutyosya yakoonjecheka, kuti une pachiuje nyaule ngajigale ni yakupunda yakwe?’
And why did you not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, might have received it with interest?
24 “Pelepo ŵaasalile uŵajimi pepala ŵala, ‘Munsumule mbiya jo, nkaape jwakwete mbiya likumi jula.’
And to those standing by he said, Take the mina from him, and give to him having the ten minas—
25 Ŵanyawo ŵansalile, ‘Ambuje, nambo jwelejo akwete chile mbiya likumi!’
(and 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 say to you that to everyone having will be given, and from him not having, also what he has will be taken from him,
27 Nambo, yankati aŵaŵa ŵammagongo ŵangu uŵakanile kuti ninaalongosye, mwaichisye apano ni kwasikita paujo pangu.’”
but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring here and slay before me.”
28 Che Yesu paŵaŵechete gelego, ŵajendelechele ni ulendo paujo pao wa ku Yelusalemu.
And having said these things, He went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Paŵaŵandichile ku Besefage ni ku Besania, chiŵandi ni chikwesya chachigumbele itela ya Miseituni, ŵalajisye ŵaŵili mwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
And it came to pass, as He came near to Bethphage and Bethany, to that called the Mount of Olives, 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.
having said, “Go away into the village in front of [you], in which, entering in, you will find a colt bound, on which no one of men ever sat, having loosed it, bring [it];
31 Sooni iŵaga chakammusye mundu kuti, ligongo chi nkungopola? Nkajile, ‘Ambuje akunsaka.’”
and if anyone questions you, Why do you loose [it]? Thus you will say to him: The LORD has need of it.”
32 Nipele, uŵalajisye ŵala ŵajawile ni ŵaisimene mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu.
And those sent, having gone away, found according as He said to them,
33 Paŵaliji nkungopola mwanambunda jula, achinsyene ni ŵausisye, “Ana ligongo chi nkungopola mwanambunda ju?”
and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said to them, “Why do you loose the colt?”
34 Ŵajanjile, “Ambuje akunsaka.”
And they said, “The LORD has need of it”;
35 Ŵanjigele mwanambunda jula ni kwapelechela Che Yesu. Ŵatandiche iwalo yao pachanya pa mwanambunda jo ni ŵankwesisye Che Yesu pachanya pakwe.
and they brought it to Jesus, and having cast their garments on the colt, they sat Jesus on it.
36 Paŵajendelechelelaga ni ulendo ŵandu ŵatandiche iwalo yao mwitala.
And as He is going, they were spreading their garments in the way,
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
and as He is coming near now, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen,
38 ŵatite “Akole upile Mwenye jwakwika mu liina lya Ambuje. Chitendewele kwinani ni ukulu kwa Akumanani.”
saying, “Blessed [is] the King coming 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!”
And certain 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.”
and He answering said to them, “I say to you that if these will be silent, the stones will cry out!”
41 Paŵaŵandichile ni kuulola musi wa ku Yelusalemu, Che Yesu ŵalisile ligongo lya musi wo
And when He came near, having seen the city, He wept over it,
42 achitiji, “Ikaliji mbaya nkaimanyilile lelo jino, indu yaikwikanawo chitendewele! Nambo sambano isisiche pa meeso genu.
saying, “If you knew, even you, at least in this your day, the things for your peace; but now they were hid from your eyes.
43 Pakuŵa moŵa chigannyichile mmwe ni ŵammagongo ŵenu chansyunguchisye likumba ni chachinsyungula ni kummijikanya kosekose.
Because days will come on you, and your enemies will cast a rampart around you, and surround you around, and press you on every side,
44 Chankasanye mmwe ni ŵaali nkati likumba lya musi wose ngapagwa liganga lichilisigale palijakwe, ligongo nganinkamanyilila katema paŵannyichile Akunnungu kukunkulupusya.”
and lay you low, and your children within you, and they will not leave in you a stone on a stone, because you did not know the time of your inspection.”
45 Nipele, Che Yesu ŵajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni ŵatandite kwaŵinjila paasa ŵaŵasumisyaga malonda,
And having entered into the temple, He began to cast forth those selling in it, and those buying,
46 achitiji, “Ilembekwe yati, ‘Nyuumba jangu chijiŵe nyuumba ja kupopela’, nambo ŵanyamwe njitesile peuto pakulisisila ŵawiyi.”
saying to them, “It has been written, My house is a house of prayer—but you 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,
And He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy Him—also the chiefs of the people—
48 nambo nganamanyilila ichajile pakupanganya, pakuŵa ŵandu wose ŵaliji nkwapilikanichisya uchenene.
and they were not finding what they will do, for all the people were hanging on Him, hearing Him.
