< Luke 19 >
1 And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.
Yesu ajhingili ni kup'eta pagati pa Yeriko.
2 And behold, [there was] a man named Zaccheus, who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
Ni apu pajhele ni munu mmonga jhaakutibhweghe Zakayo. Ambajhe ajhele mbaha ghwa bhatoza ushuru kabhele munu tajiri.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
Akajha ijaribu kumbona Yesu ndo munu kulola kwandabha jha umati bhwa bhanu, kwandabha ajhe mfupi ghwa kimo.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up upon a sycamore-tree to see him; for he was to pass that [way].
Hivyo, alongolili mbio mbele sya bhanu, akakwela panani pa mkuyu ili abhwesiajhi kumbona, kwandabha Yesu akaribili kup'etela njela ejhu.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, make haste, and come down: for to-day I must abide at thy house.
Wakati Yesu afikili mahali pala, akalenga kunani akan'jobhela, 'Zakayo, selelayi manyata, maana lelu lazima nishindayi munyumba jha bhebhe.'.
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
Akabhomba haraka, akaselela ni kun'karibisya kwa furaha.
7 And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
Bhanu bhoha bho bhabhuene aghu bhalalamiki, bhakajobha, 'Alotili kun'gendela munu mwenye dhambi.'
8 And Zaccheus stood, and said to 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] four-fold.
Zakayo akajhema akan'jobhela Bwana, Nusu gha mali jha nene nikabhapela maskini, na jhikajhiajhi ninyakili munu jhejhioha khenu, ni betakunkerebhusila mara nne.'
9 And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
Yesu akan'jobhela, lelu wokovu ufikili munyumba ejhe, kwandabha muene kabhele ni mwana ghwa Ibrahimu.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Kwandabha mwana ghwa munu ahidili kulonda ni kuokola bhanu bhabhajhaghili.'
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately appear.
Bho ap'eliki aghu, ajhendelili kulongela ni kupisya mifano, kwandabha ajhele karibu ni Yerusalemu, ni bhene bhafikilireghe kujha ndo Mfalme bhwa K'yara ajhele karibu kubhonekana mara jhimonga.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Hivyo akabhajobhela, 'Ofisa mmonga alotili nchi jha patali ili apokelayi ufalme ni kisha akerebhukajhi.
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till I come.
Abhakutili bhatumishi bhwa muene kumi, akabhapela mafungu kumi, akabhajobhela, mubhombelayi biashara mpaka pa nibeta kukerebhuka.'
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.
Lakini bhananchi bha muene bhan'dadili na hivyo bhakalaghisya bhajumbe bhalotayi kun'kesya ni kujobha, Twilondalepi munu ojho atutawalayi.'
15 And it came to pass, that when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
Ikajha bho akerebhwiki kunyumba baada jha kujha mfalme, akaamuru bhala bhatumishi bha abhalakili hela bhakutibhwayi kwa muene, abhwesiajhi kumanya faida jheleku bhajhikabhili kwa kubhomba biashara.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
Wa kuanza akahida, akajobha, `Bwana, fungu lya jhobhi libhombili mafungu kumi zaidi.'
17 And he said to him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
Ofisa ojhu akan'jobhela, kinofu mtumishi rinofu. Kwandabha wajhele ghwe mwaminifu mu khenu kidebe, wibeta kujha ni madaraka juu jha miji kumi.'
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
Wa pili akahida, akajobha, 'Bwana, fungu lya jhobhi libhombili mafungu mahanu.'
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
Afisa ojhu akan'jobhela, 'Tolayi mamlaka juu jha miji mihanu.'
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
Ni jhongi akahida, akajobha, `Bwana ejhe apa hela jha jhobhi najhitunzili kinofu mu kitambala,
21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou layedst not down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
Kwandabha natikili bhebhe ghwe n'kali. ghwibhosya khela kya ubhekilepi ni kuvuna khela kya ubelikupanda.'
22 And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, [thou] wicked servant. Thou knewest me to be an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:
Afisa ojhu akan'jobhela, 'Kwa malobhi ghaku ghwe muene, nibeta kuhukumu, ebhe mtumishi n'nofu lepi. Ghwamanyili kujonene ne munu nenkali nitola kya nikibhekilepi ni kuvuna ambakyo napandilepi.
23 Why then gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest?
Basi, mbona ghwabhekilepi hela jha nene benki, ili nikakerebhukayi niitolayi pamonga ni faida?
24 And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.
Ofisa akabhajobhela bhanu bhabhajhemili apu, 'Munyakayi lifungu e'lu ni kumpela jhola mwenye mafungu kumi.'
25 (And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
Bhakan'jobhela, `Bwana, muene ajhe ni mafungu kumi.'
26 For I say to you, That to every one who hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away from him.
'Nikabhajobhela, kila munu jhaa jhe naku ibeta kupelibhwa nesu, lakini jhaadulili, hata khela kya ajhenaku kitolibhwa.
27 But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.
Lakini abha maadui bha nene, ambabho bhilonda lepi nijhelayi mfalme ghwa bhene, mubhaletayi apa ni kubhakoma mbele jha muenga.”
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending towards Jerusalem.
Baada jha kujobha aghu, akajhendelela palongolo akakwela kulota Yerusalemu.
29 And it came to pass, when he had come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
Bho akaribili Bethfage ni Bethania, karibu ni kidonda kya Mizeituni, akabhalaghisya bhanafunzi bha muene bhabhele,
30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against [you]; in which at your entering ye will find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring [him hither].
Akajobha: `Mulotayi mu kijiji kya jirani. Mkajhingilayi, mwibeta kun'kolela mwana -punda apandisibhulepi akona. Mumbopolayi, mundetayi kwa nene.
31 And if any man shall ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
Kama munu abhakotili kwandajha kiki mwibhopola? 'Mujobhayi, “Bwana akandonda.”
32 And they that were sent, went and found even as he had said to them.
Bhala bhabhatumibhu bhakalota bhakambona mwana-punda kama Yesu kyaabhajobhili.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
Bho bhikambopola mwana-punda bhamiliki bhakebhajobhela, 'Kwandajha kiki mkambopola mwana punda ojhu?'
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
Bhakajobha, `Bwana akandonda.'
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus upon him.
Basi, bhakampelekela Yesu bhakatandika ghobho sya bhene panani pa mwana punda ni kun'kwesya Yesu panani.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
Bho ilota bhanu bhakatandasya maguanda gha bhene mu njela.
37 And when he had 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.
Bho iselela kidonda kya Mizeituni, jumuiya jhioha jha bhanafunzi bhakajhanda kushangilila ni kun'tukusya k'yara kwa sauti mbaha, kwandabha jha mambo mabhaha bhaghabhwene,
38 Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
Bhakajobha, 'Ndo mbarikibhwa mfalme jhaihida kwa lihina lya Bwana! Amani kumbinguni, ni utukufu panani!'
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
Baadhi jha Mafarisayo pa mkutano bhakan'jobhela, Mwalimu, bhagudamisiajhi bhanafunzi bha jhobhi.'
40 And he answered and said to them, I tell you, that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
Yesu akajibu akajobha, `Nikabhajobhela, kama abha bhakagudamayi, maganga ghibeta kukwesya sauti.'
41 And when he had come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
Yesu bhoaukaribili mji aulelili,
42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things [which belong] to thy peace! but now they are hid from thy eyes.
Akajobha, laiti ngaumanyi hata bhebhe, mu ligono e'le mambo ambagho ghibeta kuletela amani! Lakini henu ghakifighili pamihu gha jhobhi.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and encompass thee, and keep thee in on every side,
Kwa kujha magono ghihida ambagho maadui bha jhobhi bhibeta kujenga liboma karibu ni bhebhe ni kukusyongoka ni kukukandamisya kuh'oma khila lubhafu.
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.
Bhibeta kubinisya pasi bhebhe ni bhanabhu. Bhibeta lepi kulekela hata liganga limonga panani pa l'enge, kwandabha ghwatambuili lepi wakati K'yara bho ijaribu kuokola'.
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought,
Yesu akajhingila mu lihekalu, akajhanda kubhabhenga bhala bhabhahemelisiaghe,
46 Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Akabhajobhela, “Jhilembibhu, 'Nyumba jha nene jhibeta kujha nyumba jha sala, 'lakini muenga mujhifwanyili kujha lipangu lya bhanyang'anyi”.
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,
Henu, Yesu akajha ifundisya khila ligono mu hekalu. Makuhani bhabhaha ni bhalimu bha sheria ni bhalongosi bha bhanu bhalondeghe kun'koma,
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
Lakini bhabhwesi lepi kukabha njela jha kubhomba naha, kwandabha bhanu bhoha bhajhele bha kamp'el'ek'esya kwa makini.
