< Luke 19 >

1 Now when Iesus entred and passed through Iericho,
Jesu wakanjila alimwi wakali kwiinda mu Jeliko.
2 Beholde, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chiefe receiuer of the tribute, and he was riche.
Amulamnge kwakali mwaalumi wakalikutegwa Zekias wakali simutelo alimwi kali muvubi mupati
3 And he sought to see Iesus, who hee should be, and coulde not for the preasse, because he was of a lowe stature.
Wakali kweezya kubona kuti Jesu ngwa, pesi taakakonzya kumubona pe munkamu yabantu, nkaambo wakali mfwiifwi.
4 Wherefore he ranne before, and climed vp into a wilde figge tree, that he might see him: for he should come that way.
Nkinkaako wakachijaanina kunembo lyabantu waakutanta mumukuyu kuti amubone, nkaambo Jesu wakalikwiinda munzila eeyo
5 And when Iesus came to the place, he looked vp, and saw him, and said vnto him, Zaccheus, come downe at once: for to day I must abide at thine house.
Lino Jesu naakasika aawo wakalanga mujulu mawo wati kulinguwe, “Zekiyasi, seluka chakufwambaana, nkaambo sunu ndiyookkala mung'anda yako.”
6 Then he came downe hastily, and receiued him ioyfully.
Aboobo wakaseluka chakufwambaana akumutambula chakubotelwa.
7 And when all they sawe it, they murmured, saying, that hee was gone in to lodge with a sinfull man.
Lino bantu boonse nibazibona eezi, bakanyontooka, kabaamba kuti, “Waya kuyooswaya mwaalumi ulazibi.”
8 And Zaccheus stood forth, and said vnto the Lord, Beholde, Lord, the halfe of my goods I giue to the poore: and if I haue taken from any man by forged cauillation, I restore him foure folde.
Lino Zekiyasi wakayima wati ku Mwami, “Langa, Mwami, chisela chalubono lwangu ndilachipa bachete kuti na ndakeeneena kufumbwa muntu, ndilamujosezya kazipetedwe tume kumuulo.”
9 Then Iesus said to him, This day is saluation come vnto this house, forasmuch as hee is also become the sonne of Abraham.
Jesu wakati, “Sunu lufutuko lwasika kung'anda eeno, nkaambo alakwe ooyu mwana wa Abbulahamu.
10 For the Sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost.
Nkaambo Mwana wa Muntu wakasika kuzooyandula akufutula bantu basweekede.”
11 And whiles they heard these thinges, hee continued and spake a parable, because hee was neere to Hierusalem, and because also they thought that the kingdom of God should shortly appeare.
Nibakachiswiilide eezi zintu, wakasngua kubaambila chikozyanisyo, nkaambo wakali afwiifwi a Jelusalemu, alimwi bakayeeya kuti bwami bwa Leza bwamba kuboneka mpawaawo.
12 He saide therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and so to come againe.
Aboobo wakati, “Umwi mwaalumi musongo wakayinka kunyika iilikule kuyotambula bwami mpawo akuyoboola
13 And he called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pieces of money, and sayd vnto them, Occupie till I come.
Wakayita balanda bakwe bali kumi, mpawo wakabapa mali aalikumi akuti kulimbabo, 'Amuchite mabbindawuko mane ndikaboole.'
14 Nowe his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not haue this man to reigne ouer vs.
Pesi basichisinyina bakalimusulide alomwi bakamutumina bantu bakamutobela, bakati, 'Tatuyandi pe kuti oyu waamlumi atutonge.'
15 And it came to passe, when hee was come againe, and had receiued his kingdome, that he commanded the seruants to be called to him, to whome he gaue his money, that he might knowe what euery man had gained.
Zyakachitika naakaboola lubo, kali watambula bwaami, wakalayilila kuti bayitwe babelesi bakwe aabo mbakapede mali, kuti azibe kuti nimpindunzi njibakajana mukuchita kwabo makwebo.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased ten pieces.
Wakusanguna wakasika kunembo lyakwe wati, 'Mwami, mali yako yakazyala aambi mamali aalikumi.'
17 And he sayd vnto him, Well, good seruant: because thou hast bene faithfull in a very litle thing, take thou authoritie ouer ten cities.
Mwaalumi wabusongo wakati kulinguwe, 'Wakachita kabotu, omubelesi mubotu. Nkaambo wakasyomeka muzintu ziniini lino ndakupa manguzu aatla amadolopo aalikumi.'
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased fiue pieces.
Wabili wakasika, wati, 'Mali yako, mwami, yakapanga aambi mali alimusanu.'
19 And to the same he sayd, Be thou also ruler ouer fiue cities.
Mwaalumi uulemekeka wakati kulinguwe, 'Iwe tola madolopo alimusanu.'
20 So the other came, and sayd, Lord, beholde thy piece, which I haue laide vp in a napkin:
Umwi alakwe wakasika, wati, 'Mwami, njeyi mali yako, ndakayibambide kabotu mumulembo,
21 For I feared thee, because thou art a straight man: thou takest vp, that thou layedst not downe, and reapest that thou diddest not sowe.
nkaambo ndakakuyoowa, nkaambo ulasisa, ulabweza chuwatabikide akutebula mpuwatabyalide.'
22 Then he sayde vnto him, Of thine owne mouth will I iudge thee, O euill seruant. Thou knewest that I am a straight man, taking vp that I layd not downe, and reaping that I did not sowe.
Mwaalumi uulemekeka wakati kulinguwe, 'Amajwi aako ndilakubeteka, mubelesi mubi, wakalizi kuti ndilimuntu uusesa, ndilabweza nchindatabikide, akutebula nchindatabyalide.
23 Wherefore then gauest not thou my money into the banke, that at my coming I might haue required it with vantage?
Wakalumwayi nuwakatabikide mali yangu mubbanka, kuchitila kuti nindalikuyooboola ndalikuzoyijana kiili yaba aampindu?'
24 And he sayd to them that stoode by, Take from him that piece, and giue it him that hath ten pieces.
Mwaalumi uulemekeka wakati kuli aabo bakayimvwi kumbali, 'Amumunyanzye mali yomwe eeyo mupe ooyo uulamamali aalikumi.'
25 (And they sayd vnto him, Lord, hee hath ten pieces.)
Bakati kulingwe, 'Mwami, ulamamali aalikumi kale.'
26 For I say vnto you, that vnto all them that haue, it shalbe giuen: and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken from him.
'Ndati kulindinywe, woonse uulazyo, uyoopegwa zimbi, pesi ooyo uutakwe, acheecho nchali aacho uyoonyanzigwa.
27 Moreouer, those mine enemies, which would not that I should reigne ouer them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Pesi aaba basinkondoma, aabo bakatalikuyanda kuti ndibatonge, amubeete aano mubajaye kunembo lyangu.'”
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went forth before, ascending vp to Hierusalem.
Nakaamba zintu eezi, wakayinda kaya ku Jelusalemu.
29 And it came to passe, when hee was come neere to Bethphage, and Bethania, besides the mount which is called the mount of Oliues, he sent two of his disciples,
Kwakachitika kuti naakasika afwiifwi abusena bwa Betipeji a Betani, kukalundu kakalikutegwa Oliveti, wakatuma basikwiiya bakwe babili,
30 Saying, Goe ye to the towne which is before you, wherein, assoone as ye are come, ye shall finde a colte tied, whereon neuer man sate: loose him, and bring him hither.
kati, “Amunjile mugunzi lilikunembo. Mwanjila biyo mulajana mwana wadonki uutana kutantwa. Mumwaangunune mumweete kulindime.
31 And if any man aske you, why ye loose him, thus shall ye say vnto him, Because the Lord hath neede of him.
Na kwaba utamubuzye kuti, 'Nkaambo nzi nimumwaangununa?' mukatedi, 'Mwami ulamuyanda.'”
32 So they that were sent, went their way, and found it as he had sayd vnto them.
Aabo bakatumwa bakamujana mwana wa donki mbuli mbakabalayilide Jesu.
33 And as they were loosing the colte, the owners thereof sayd vnto them, Why loose ye the colte?
Nibakali kumwaangununa mwana wadonki, bani bawe bakati, “Nkaambo nzi nimwaangununa mwana wa donki ooyo?”
34 And they sayd, The Lord hath neede of him.
Bakati, “Mwami ulamuyanda.”
35 So they brought him to Iesus, and they cast their garments on the colte, and set Iesus thereon.
Mpawo bakamweeta kuli Jesu, mpawo bakawaala majansi aabo aatala amwana wa donki mpawo bakakkazika Jesu aataka.
36 And as he went, they spred their clothes in the way.
Naakalikuyabweenda bakalikuya buyala majansi aabo munzila.
37 And when he was nowe come neere to the going downe of the mount of Oliues, the whole multitude of the disciples began to reioyce, and to prayse God with a loude voyce, for all the great workes that they had seene,
Naakali waamba kusika abusena aawo Kalundu kama Oliva mpuka nkunuka, mbunga yoonse yabasikwiiya yakasanguna kubotelwa akulumbayizya Leza ajwi pati nkaambo kamilimu mipati njibakali babona,
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that commeth in the Name of the Lord: peace in heauen, and glory in the highest places.
kabati, “Ulilongezezegwe mwami uuza muzina lya Mwami! Luumuno kujulu abulemu kumajulu!”
39 Then some of the Pharises of the companie sayd vnto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
Bamwi ba Falisi bakali munkamu bakati kuli ngwe, “Muyiisyi bakkabule basikwiiya bako.”
40 But he answered, and sayd vnto them, I tell you, that if these should holde their peace, the stones would crie.
Jesu wakasandula wati, “Kanskinga aaba baluumwine, mabwe alikunoompolola.”
41 And when he was come neere, he behelde the Citie, and wept for it,
Jesu naakasika mudolopo, wakalila aatala andilyo,
42 Saying, O if thou haddest euen knowen at the least in this thy day those things, which belong vnto thy peace! but nowe are they hid from thine eyes.
kati, “Kansinga wali waziba mubuzuba oobu, ayebo, zintu zikweetela luumuno! Pesi lino zilisisidwe kulinduwe.
43 For the dayes shall come vpon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compasse thee round, and keepe thee in on euery side,
Nkaambo mazuba ayoosika alinduwe, aawo basinkondonyokwe nibayoyaka kaanda akukuzyunguluka akukusyanikizya kuzwa kumabazu woonse.
44 And shall make thee euen with ye ground, and thy children which are in thee, and they shall not leaue in thee a stone vpon a stone, because thou knewest not that season of thy visitation.
Bayooku wisizya aansi abana bako. Taakwe nobayoosiya niliba bbwe aatala alimwi, nkaambo taakwe nuwakachibona Leza naakalikweezya kukufutula.”
45 He went also into the Temple, and began to cast out them that solde therein, and them that bought,
Jesu wakanjila muchikombelo akutanda boonse nakali kuuzya,
46 Saying vnto them, It is written, Mine house is the house of prayer, but ye haue made it a denne of theeues.
wakati kulombabo, “Kulilembedwe kuti, 'Ng'anda kyangu iyoba ng'anda yakukombela,' pesi mwayisandula kba ng'anda yabasikubba.”
47 And he taught dayly in the Temple. And the hie Priests and the Scribes, and the chiefe of the people sought to destroy him.
Aboobo Jesu wakalikuyiisya abuzuba muchikombelo. Bapayizi bapati abalembi bamulawu abazululi babanti bakali kuyanda kumujaya,
48 But they could not finde what they might doe to him: for all the people hanged vpon him when they heard him.
pesi taakwe nibakajana nzila yakuzichita, nkaambo bantu boonse bakali kumuswiilila loko.
