Luke 19
1 And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.
Che Yesu ŵajinjile ku Yeliko ni ŵaliji nkupita.
2 And, behold, [there was] a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
Jwapali mundu jumo liina lyakwe che Sakayo, juŵaliji jwankulu jwa ŵakukumbikanya nsongo, nombe jwaliji jwachipanje.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
Ŵasachile kwawona Che Yesu kuti ŵaliji ŵaani nambo ŵalepele ligongo lya winji wa ŵandu ni pakuŵa ŵaliji jwanjipi.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that [way].
Nipele, ŵautuchile mmbujo ni ŵakwesile chitela chachikulungwa cha nkuju kuti akombole kwawona pakuŵa ŵaliji nkupita lyele litala lyo.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
Che Yesu paŵaiche peuto po ŵalolite mwinani ni ŵansalile, “Che Sakayo, ntuluche chitema pakuŵa lelo jino ikumajila kulonjela mu nyuumba jenu.”
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
Che Sakayo ŵajangwiye kutuluka ni ŵapochele kwa kusengwa.
7 And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
Ŵandu wose paŵaiweni yele, ŵatandite kunyinyita achitiji, “Ajinjile kulonjela kwa mundu jwa sambi.”
8 And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore [him] fourfold.
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.”
9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
Che Yesu ŵansalile kuti, “Lelo jino ukulupusyo uiche mu nyuumba ji pakuŵa nombejo ali jwauŵelesi u che Iblahimu.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu aiche kukwasosa ni kukwakulupusya ŵasochele.”
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
Ŵandu ŵaliji nkwapilikanila Che Yesu. Ni paŵaliji nkuŵandichila ku Yelusalemu ŵandu ŵaganisyaga kuti Umwenye wa Akunnungu uŵandichile kuoneka. Kwa ligongo lyo ŵatanjile sooni chitagu.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Ŵatite, “Jwapali mundu jwa lukosyo lwa umwenye juŵajawile kuchilambo cha kutalika kuti akapegwe umwenye ni jwankulu jwa mamwenye ni kuuja.
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
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.’
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.
Nambo achinsyene musi, ŵanchimile ni ŵalajisye ŵantenga ajaule akajile ‘Ngatukunsaka mundu ju atulongosye uwe.’
15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
“Nambo, mundu jo ŵausile sooni kumusi ali amasile kupochela umwenye ni ŵalamwile kuti akaaŵilanjile achikapolo uŵapele mbiya ŵala kuti achimanyilile chachipundile chajinjisye kila mundu.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
Kapolo jwaandanda jwaiche paujo pao ni ŵatite, ‘Ambuje, mbiya jenu jimwambele jijonjesyeche mbiya likumi.’
17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
Nombewo ŵansalile, ‘Ntesile yambone, mmwejo ndi kapolo jwambone. Pakuŵa mwaliji jwakukulupilichika pa indu yenandi, nkoleje ulamusi pachanya pa misi likumi!’
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
Kapolo jwaaŵili jwaiche nikuti, ‘Ambuje, mbiya jenu jimwambele jijonjesyeche mbiya sine nsano.’
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
Nombewo ŵansalile jwelejo kuti, ‘Nomwe ŵakwe nkoleje ulamusi pachanya misi nsano.’
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
“Nipele, kapolo jwine jwaiche achitiji, ‘Ambuje, aji ni mbiya jenu jimwambele jila, nagosile uchenene mu chiguo cha mwana chammakono.
21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
Ligongo nanjogopaga, pakuŵa mmwe ndi mundu jwakunonopa ntima. Mundu junkuigala yangaŵa yenu ni kugoola yanganimpande.’
22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, [thou] wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Nombewo ŵansalile, ‘Ngunnamula kwaligongo lya intite pakuŵecheta mmwe kapolo jwangalumbana! Ngati mwaamanyilile kuti une ndili mundu jwakunonopa ntima, jungwigala yangaŵa yangu ni jungugowola yanganimbande.
23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
Ligongo chi nganinjausya mbiya jangu kwa ŵakutyosya yakoonjecheka, kuti une pachiuje nyaule ngajigale ni yakupunda yakwe?’
24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.
“Pelepo ŵaasalile uŵajimi pepala ŵala, ‘Munsumule mbiya jo, nkaape jwakwete mbiya likumi jula.’
25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
Ŵanyawo ŵansalile, ‘Ambuje, nambo jwelejo akwete chile mbiya likumi!’
26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
Nombewo ŵajanjile kuti, ‘Ngunsalila, kwa jwalijose jwakwete chindu chachipegwa ni kujonjechekwa. Nambo kwa jwanganakola chindu atamuno chamwana chakwete cho chichijigalikwe.
27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.
Nambo, yankati aŵaŵa ŵammagongo ŵangu uŵakanile kuti ninaalongosye, mwaichisye apano ni kwasikita paujo pangu.’”
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
Che Yesu paŵaŵechete gelego, ŵajendelechele ni ulendo paujo pao wa ku Yelusalemu.
29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
Paŵaŵandichile ku Besefage ni ku Besania, chiŵandi ni chikwesya chachigumbele itela ya Miseituni, ŵalajisye ŵaŵili mwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against [you]; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring [him hither].
Ŵasalile kuti, “Njaule pa nsinda wauli mmbujo mwenu. Pachinkajinjile mu nsinda mo, chinkansimane mwanambunda jwataŵikwe jwanganakwelekwe ni mundu. Nkangopole ni kunnyikanawo apano.
31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
Sooni iŵaga chakammusye mundu kuti, ligongo chi nkungopola? Nkajile, ‘Ambuje akunsaka.’”
32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
Nipele, uŵalajisye ŵala ŵajawile ni ŵaisimene mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
Paŵaliji nkungopola mwanambunda jula, achinsyene ni ŵausisye, “Ana ligongo chi nkungopola mwanambunda ju?”
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
Ŵajanjile, “Ambuje akunsaka.”
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
Ŵanjigele mwanambunda jula ni kwapelechela Che Yesu. Ŵatandiche iwalo yao pachanya pa mwanambunda jo ni ŵankwesisye Che Yesu pachanya pakwe.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
Paŵajendelechelelaga ni ulendo ŵandu ŵatandiche iwalo yao mwitala.
37 And when he was come nigh, even now 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 that they had seen;
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
38 Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
ŵatite “Akole upile Mwenye jwakwika mu liina lya Ambuje. Chitendewele kwinani ni ukulu kwa Akumanani.”
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
Mafalisayo ŵampepe ŵaŵaliji mu mpingo wa ŵandu mula ŵansalile Che Yesu kuti, “Jŵakwiganya, mwakalipile ŵakulijiganya ŵenu!”
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile kuti, “Ngunsalila ŵanyamwe, naga chamyalale ŵanyaŵa, maganga chigatande kunyokonya.”
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
Paŵaŵandichile ni kuulola musi wa ku Yelusalemu, Che Yesu ŵalisile ligongo lya musi wo
42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things [which belong] unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
achitiji, “Ikaliji mbaya nkaimanyilile lelo jino, indu yaikwikanawo chitendewele! Nambo sambano isisiche pa meeso genu.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
Pakuŵa moŵa chigannyichile mmwe ni ŵammagongo ŵenu chansyunguchisye likumba ni chachinsyungula ni kummijikanya kosekose.
44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
Chankasanye mmwe ni ŵaali nkati likumba lya musi wose ngapagwa liganga lichilisigale palijakwe, ligongo nganinkamanyilila katema paŵannyichile Akunnungu kukunkulupusya.”
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni ŵatandite kwaŵinjila paasa ŵaŵasumisyaga malonda,
46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
achitiji, “Ilembekwe yati, ‘Nyuumba jangu chijiŵe nyuumba ja kupopela’, nambo ŵanyamwe njitesile peuto pakulisisila ŵawiyi.”
47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
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,
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
nambo nganamanyilila ichajile pakupanganya, pakuŵa ŵandu wose ŵaliji nkwapilikanichisya uchenene.
