Luke 19
1 Jesus and his disciples entered Jericho and were going through the [city].
Jesus bo pendi Jerico dogu nni.
2 There was a man [there] named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, who was rich.
Lsua jua baa ne mɔ ye l dogu nni yi'u Saase ku tie ŋanman daano k dungn o tie lonpo gaala canbaa i.
3 He tried to see Jesus, but he was very short, and there was a big crowd of people [near Jesus]. So he was not able to see him.
Wan gbadi k Jesus pa k pendi.
4 So he ran further ahead [along the road] that Jesus was walking on. He climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see Jesus.
K u sani. K ga liiga k pan doni tibu bá ne po k b yi u Sikomar k wan la Jesus k dungn o tie jinjega i.
5 When Jesus got there, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because [God wants] me to go [with you(sg)] to your house and stay there [tonight]”!
Jesus n pundi l kan ya yognu, k u yaad la'o bu tibu po k maad'o:
6 So he came down quickly. [He took Jesus to his house] and welcomed him joyfully.
Saase jiidi tonma dinne n bo cani a deni. K u jiidi tonma ki ga'o yen pamanli.
7 The people [who saw Jesus go there] grumbled saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner!”
B niba n gbadi yeni k b ji bulnbulni k diidi wan caa bua cani o nubiigu
8 Then Zacchaeus stood up [while they were eating] and said to the Lord [Jesus], “Lord, I want you [(sg)] to know that I am going to give half of what I own to poor people. And as for the people whom I have cheated, I will pay them back four times the amount [I have gotten from them by cheating].”
Ama k Saase sedi k maadi k o bɔgdi o ŋalmani ki teni b cacagidama. K l gɔ ya sua k u den kubi nuli panli o bua guani ki ŋmiani l daano tabual m taa.
9 Jesus said to him, “Today [God] has forgiven [PRS] [you and the other people in] [MTY] this house, because you [(sg)] also [have shown that you have trusted in God as] your ancestor Abraham [did].
L yogu k Jesus k u la m fiema o deni yeni k dugni o mɔ tie Abrahami yabili.
10 Remember this: [I], the one who came from heaven, came to seek and save [people like you(sg)] who have [gone astray from God, just like a shepherd who searches for his] lost [sheep].”
K dugni o nifossalo bijua baa k wan guan k kpeni k bia faabi yaaaba den bodi
11 They were coming near to Jerusalem, and the people who were [going with Jesus] who heard him say these things thought that as soon as [he got to Jerusalem] he would become their king.
B niba n bo songi Jesus tundi yeni k sua k u paa k nagidi Jerusalemi. B nubi ji maal k u bua kaani u tienu diema n yeni.
12 [So] he told them this parable: “A prince prepared to go to a distant country in order that [the Emperor] would make him a king. [He intended] to return later.
L yogu k u maadi k jua baa ne n den tie nigbengli g fii gedi dogbanbanfagli k pan di labaali k guani k kpeni.
13 [Before he left], he summoned ten of his servants. He gave each of them a coin worth three months’ wages. He said to them, ‘Do business with these coins until I return!’ [Then he left].
K kpeni k kubi o dogu. k yiini o naaceb bonm piig g bɔgdiba wula dibala k yua kul ń mɔnd k lan nob.
14 But [many of] his fellow-citizens hated him. So after he left they sent some messengers to tell [the Emperor], ‘We [(exc)] do not want this man to be our king!’
Wan gedi ku dogni yaaba diani l tili k ten'o k maad'o k bi bo'a bi dogu nni.
15 But [the Emperor] made him king anyway. [Later] the [new king] returned. Then he commanded that the servants to whom he had given the coins should be summoned {that someone should summon the servants to whom he had given the coins}. He wanted to know how much they had gained by doing business with the coins.
Ku yedi ba ku kan kpeni, wan pan dini l bal k kpen wan ji yiin u naaceb k yua kul nagni ki waani wan sɔ maama yeni e ligi yeni.
16 The first man came [to him] and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned ten more [coins]!’
Cincin yua n baa k nagni k maadi: canbaa ŋan den teni i ligi yal yeni mi sɔ k dibala piig pugni l po.
17 He said to this man, ‘[You are a] good servant! [You have] done [very] well! Because you have [handled] faithfully a small amount [of money, I will give you] authority [to rule] ten cities.’
U canbaa ń maad: n faa n naaciemo a tie tuosɔnli. A bo gaa dingbana piig canbaandi.
18 Then the second servant came and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned five more [coins]!’
Tɔ n mɔ cua k maadi canbaa n mɔ sɔni yeni i ligi yeni k baa dibala k pugni l po.
19 He said to that servant similarly, ‘[Good! I will give you authority to rule] five cities.’
U canba n maad'o a bo gaa dingbana mu canbaandi.
20 Then another servant came. He said, ‘Sir, here is your coin. I wrapped it in a napkin and put it away, [so that nothing would happen to it].
Tiani n mɔ cua yua juodi k maadi canba n den taa a ligi yeni k pɔbni k begini n tiadi nni.
21 I did that [because] I was afraid [of what you would do to me if the business failed. I know] you are a man who does not do foolish things with your money. You [even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.’
N den jie ŋa ka tie canbabiadi. k taa min k bil naani k bia yendi min k bul naani
22 The king said to that servant, ‘You wicked servant! I will condemn you by the very words [MTY] that you [have just now spoken]. (You know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]./Did you not know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]?) [RHQ] [You said] that I [even] take [from others money] that does not really [belong to me], [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.
K u canbaa maad'o: a tie naacenbiadi a bani k tie canbabiado i k taa min k bili yaala k gɔ yend min k bul naani.
23 So (you should at least have given my money to money lenders!/why did you not [at least] give my money to bankers?) [RHQ] Then [when I returned] I could have collected that amount plus the interest [it would have earned]!’
A den bo kan taa n ligi k billi banki i n ya ti kpeni ya daal mi ga yeni t ñuadi.
24 Then [the king] said to those who were standing near, ‘Take the coin from him and give it to [the servant] who has ten coins!’
K maad yaaba den ye likan k ban fie o liyendiga yeni k ten i yua pia pia bona piig
25 They protested, ‘But Sir, he already has ten [coins]!’
K b niba maad canba wɔ nan pia bona piiga!
26 [But the king said], ‘I tell you this: To the people who [use well what] they have [received], more will be given {[I] will give more}. But from the people who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away {[I] will take away even what they already have}.
K canbaa maad ki b bo pugni yua pia i ama yua k pia ban bia fie wan pia yaali yeni.
27 Now, [as for] those enemies of mine who did not want me to rule over them, bring them here and execute them while I am watching!’”
K maad k ban baa yeni o yibala yaab den yedi k u kan yendi'b yeni k kpa ba o nintual nni.
28 After [Jesus] said those things, he [continued on the road] up to Jerusalem, going ahead of his disciples.
Jesus n maad ki gbeni k u taa o niba yaab ŋua'o k ye liiga k b doni Jerusalemi.
29 When they got near Bethphage and Bethany [villages], near the hill that is called {that they call} Olive [Tree] Hill,
Ban nagdi Betefaje yeni Betani k k fag yeni olife jua kan, k u sɔni o naacenb bonmilie k madi ba
30 he said to two of [his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead [of you]. As you [two] enter [it], you will see a young animal that no one has ever ridden, that has been {someone has} tied up. Untie it and bring it [to me].
Gadi mani o dogu yala n ye i liiga po ne i bo i ŋunbiga k nil ku luol yin lod'o na.
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say [to him], ‘The Lord needs it.’”
Nul ya buali yaali n cedi ki lodo yin maad k u yonmdaano n bua
32 [So] the [two disciples] went [to the village] and found the [animal], just like he had told them.
Ban sɔni yaaba gedi ki guani k li tie nani Jesus n bo maad maama.
33 As they were untying it, its owners said to them, “Why are you two untying that young animal?”
Ban bo lodi o ŋuumo ya yogu k b bondanb buali ba k be ced k lod o ŋuum i?
34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.” [So the owners said that they could take it].
K b maad'b ku yomdaano n bua.
35 The [two disciples] brought [the animal] to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the animal’s back [for him to sit on] and helped Jesus get on it.
K bi guani yen'o Jesus kani k bmaani bi tiadi i ŋunbiga po k jagni Jesus
36 Then as he rode along, [others] spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him].
Wan pend ya yognu b nib bo yi land b tiadi k bil o sani po.
37 As they came near [to Jerusalem], on the road that descends from Olive [Tree] Hill, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God loudly for all the great miracles that they had seen [Jesus do].
Ban bo ñani Olifie jual po k ji k nagdi Jerusalemi ku ŋɔdikaaba kul ji yiini k dondi u tienu yen ban bo la ya yaaligu kuli.
38 They were saying things like, “May the Lord [God] bless our king who comes representing [MTY] him!” “May there be peace [between God] in heaven [and us his people]!” “May [everyone] praise God!”
K tua m yediŋanma n ya ya o bado yua cuon u tienu yel po t yomdaano, laafia n ya ye tanpol po k ti kpiagidi n ya kaan kul
39 Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples [for saying things like that]!”
L yogu k falisian nba yab bo ye b niba nni maad Jesus: maad a ŋɔdikaaba ki ban suoni
40 He replied, “I tell you this: If these people would be silent, the stones themselves would shout [to praise me]!”
K Jesus k baa b ya suoni, a tana n baa yiini k dondi u tienu.
41 When [Jesus] came near [to] Jerusalem and saw the city, he cried about [its people].
Wan pundi Jerusalemi dogu nni k u gbel k caani l bubuuli k maadi
42 He said, “[My disciples know what they need to do] to have peace [with God]; I wish that even today [the rest of] you people knew it. But now you are unable to know [MTY] it.
K maadi a ya bo ban k diine daali ne tie a yomdaano daali ama keto l duagi ninbina po i.
43 I want you to know this: Soon [your enemies] will come and will set up a barricade around your [city]. They will surround [the city] and attack [it] on all sides.
A danaa cuoni a po k kan ya ŋan, k a yibalaa ti bu kaalida kaana kul k pib a k luon a kaan kuli.
44 They will [break through] the walls [and] destroy everything. They will smash you and your people/children. [When they finish destroying everything], there will not be one stone left on top of another. [All this will happen] because you did not recognize the time when God sent his [Messiah] to [save] you!”
B bu biani fin yeni a dogo niba kul pil pil k kan sieni baa dikpiyenli k l se, k dugn i a den k bandi a Tienu can'a ya daal i.
45 [Jesus entered Jerusalem and] went into the Temple [courtyard]. He saw the people who were selling [things there],
Jesus kua ou jaanddiegu nni k beli a kpinkpenda k maad'b:
46 and he began to chase them out. He said to them, “It has been written {[A prophet] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be a place where people pray’; but you bandits have made it a cave where you can [hide]!”
Ldiani k maadi k den baa tie jaanddiegu, k yinma tug k l ̇tɔ a nɔyiga cend kaanu.
47 Each day [during that week Jesus] was teaching people in the Temple [courtyard]. The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and [other Jewish] leaders tried to find a way to kill him.
Jesus bo tundi b niba daal kul u jaanddiegu niin po i. Ama k b tondanb ye yeni yikodanba kpaani k ban kpa'o
48 But they did not find any way to do it, because all the people there listened eagerly to him [and would have resisted them if they had tried to hurt him].
Ama b bo bani ban bu didal maama k dugn i yua kuli bo songi o maama
