Luke 19
1 And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.
Yesu kingiriti Yeriku, kaweriti kankupita munjira za lushi alu.
2 And behold, [there was] a man named Zaccheus, who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
Kuweriti na mkulu gwa watola kodi yawamshema Zakayu, mweni kaweriti mlundamali.
3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
Kafiriti kumwona Yesu kaweriti gwa ntambu gaa, kumbiti toziya ya lipinga lya wantu na toziya kaweriti mfupi, na kasinditi kumwona Yesu.
4 And he ran before, and climbed up upon a sycamore-tree to see him; for he was to pass that [way].
Su kalongolera mbiru, kakwena pampindi pa mkuyu su kawezi kumwona Yesu kaweriti kankupita njira ayi.
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.
Yesu pakaweriti kankwiza pahala palii, kaloliti kumtera na kumgambira Zakayu, “Kanongola gusuluki, toziya nfiruwa kulikala mnumba mwaku leru.”
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
Zakayu kasuluka kanongola, kumshemera kwa kunemelera.
7 And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
Wantu woseri pawawoniti hangu, wanjiti kuhinginika pawalonga, “Muntu ayu kagenda kuwera muhenga yakanaligoya ukaya kwa yakana vidoda!”
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.
Zakayu kagoloka, kumgambira Mtuwa, “Gupikaniri, Mtuwa! Hanuwapanani wahushu nusu ya ulunda wangu, na handa panumupokiti muntu yoseri kwa kumupayira hanumuwuzilili mala msheshi.”
9 And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
Yesu kamgambira, “Ulopoziwu usoka mnumba amu leru, toziya muntu ayu vira ndo kamushiyiwuku sha Aburahamu.
10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Mwana gwa Muntu kiziti kusakula na kuwalopoziya yawagamiliti.”
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.
Wantu pawaweriti wankupikanira aga, Yesu kendereyiti kuwagambira mfanu. Pakaweriti pakwegera kusoka Yerusalemu na wantu walii waliholiti kuwera Ufalumi wa Mlungu sambira usoka.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Su kawagambira, “Kuweriti na muntu yumu yakaweriti mkulu yakagenda muisi ya kutali kaweri mfalumi, shakapanu kawuyi ukaya.
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till I come.
Pamberi pa kuwuka, kawashemiti wantumintumi wakuwi lilongu na kuwapanani mpiya kila yumu na kuwagambira, ‘Guloli ntambu yamuweza kutenda pambuka.’
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.
Vinu wantu wakuwi wamgalambukiti, pakawukiti kala, wawatumiti wajumbi walongi, ‘Tumfira ndiri muntu ayu kaweri mfalumi gwetu.’
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.
“Muntu ulii pawamtyeka kala kuwera mfalumi kawuyiti ukaya. Palii kawashemiti wantumintumi wakuwi kafira kavimani ntambu ya kila muntu kapata mpiya zininga kuliku ntambu yakawayupiti.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
Ntumintumi gwa kwanja kiza na kulonga, ‘Mtuwa, mpata mpiya lilongu nentu ya mpiya yimu yagunupiti.’
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.
Nayomberi kamgambira, ‘Gutenda weri, gwenga gwa ntumintumi guherepa! Toziya guwera gwa mwaminika kwa shintu shididini, hanukutuli guweri mkulu kwa lushi zya milongu.’
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
Ntumintumi gwa pili kiza na katakula, ‘Mtuwa, mpata mpiya zyamuhanu nentu ya mpiya yimu yagunupiti.’
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
Kwa yumu ayu kamgambira, ‘Haguweri mkulu gwa lushi zya muhanu.’
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
“Ntumintumi gwingi kiza na kutakula, ‘Mtuwa, mpiya yaku ayi, ntawiti mushitambala.
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.
Nukutuliriti gwenga toziya gwenga gwa muntu gukalipa. Gwenga gutolaga shilii shaku ndiri na kubena shilii shaguyala ndiri.’
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:
Nayomberi kamgambira, ‘Gwenga gwa ntumintumi gufaa ndiri! Nukutoza kulawirana na visoweru vyaku! Guvimana neni muntu nkalipa, ntola shilii shashiwera ndiri shaneni na mbenanga vilii vyanyala ndiri.’
23 Why then gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest?
Su iwera hashi gutuliti ndiri mpiya zyangu muluhanja? Pambuyiti hampati mpiya yangu pamuhera na mota yakuwi.”
24 And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.
“Shakapanu kawagambira woseri yawaweriti wagoloka palii, ‘Mmupoki mpiya ayi na mumupi ntumintumi ulii yakongeriti mpiya lilongu.’
25 (And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
Kumbiti womberi wamgambira, ‘Mtuwa, ayu kana mpiya kala mala lilongu!’
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.
Nayomberi kawankula, ‘Nukugambirani woseri yawawera na shintu, hawongelerwi, kumbiti woseri yawahera na shintu, ata shilii shididini shawawera nashi hawawapoki.
27 But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.
Vinu woseri walii yawaweriti wangondu wangu yawanfira ndiri neni nweri mfalumi gwawu, muwajegi panu na kuwalaga palongolu pa masu gangu!’”
28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending towards Jerusalem.
Yesu pakatakuliti kala aga, su kawalonguleriti kugenda 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,
Pakaweriti pakwegera kusoka Betifagi na Betaniya, mulugongu lwa Mizeyituni, kawatumiti wafundwa wawili
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].
kawagambira, “Mgendi mushijiji sha palongolu penu, pamwingira hamwoni punda wamtawa mweni hakenitumiki na muntu. Mumyopoli na mumjegi panu.
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.
Muntu yoseri pakawakosiya, iwera hashi mwankumyopola, mumgambiri Mtuwa kamfira.”
32 And they that were sent, went and found even as he had said to them.
Wagenditi munjira yawu, wawona kila shintu Yesu ntambu yakawagambiriti.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
Pawaweriti wankumyopola punda ulii, weni yawawera na punda wawakosiya, “Iwera hashi mwankumyopola punda ayu?”
34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
Nawomberi wamwankula, “Mtuwa kamfira,”
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus upon him.
su wamjega punda ulii kwa Yesu. Shakapanu wamyalikira nguwu zyawu pampindi pa punda na wamtanga Yesu kumkweniziya pampindi pakuwi.
36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
Yesu kendereya na mwanja, na wantu wayalika nguwu zyawu munjira.
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.
Pakasokiti pakwegera na Yerusalemu, panjira panda ya lugongu lwa Mizeyituni, lipinga likulu lya wafundwa wanjiti kutenda lusheka na nemeleru walonga mayagashii Mlungu na kumkwisa yomberi kwa liziwu likulu pawatakula mauzauza makulu wagawoniti,
38 Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
“Mlungu gumtekeleri mfalumi yakiza mulitawu lya Mtuwa! Ponga iweri kumpindi nentu kwa Mlungu na ukwisa uweri kwa Mlungu!”
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
Shakapanu Wamafalisayu wamu mulipinga lilii lya wantu wamgambira Yesu, “mfunda, guwanyamaziyi wafundwa waku.”
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 kawankula, “Nukugambirani, handa pawanyamalila, mabuhi aga haganji kubotanga.”
41 And when he had come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
Pawasokiti pakwegera na lushi lwa Yerusalemu, na pakaluwona kanjiti kululilira,
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.
kalonga, “Meguvimani! Leru ayi vitwtatira vijega ponga. Kumbiti vinu galififa pamasu paku.
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,
Shipindi shankwiza ndo sheni wangondu waku hawakuzyengeti kwa maboma, hawakupingili na kukubabanika wega zoseri.
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.
Hawakwagamiziyi gwenga na wantu yawalikala mngati, hapeni wakulekeli ata libuwi limu panani pa limonga, toziya gushimana ndiri shipindi sha Mlungu pakakwiziriti kukulopoziya.”
45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought,
Shakapanu Yesu kingiriti Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na kanja kuwawinga walii yawawuza vintu palii,
46 Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.
kawagambira, “Walembiti mumalembu, Mlungu pakalonga, ‘Numba nkulu ya neni hayiweri numba ya kusalira.’ Kumbiti mwenga muyitenda mpanga ya wapoka.”
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,
Kila lishaka Yesu kaweriti kankufunda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu. Watambika wakulu na wafunda wa Malagaliru, na wakulu wa wantu wafiriti kumlaga,
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
kumbiti wasinditi ntambu yakutenda aga, toziya wantu woseri waweriti wankumpikinira weri kila shisoweru shakatakuliti, na wafiriti ndiri kukosa shisoweru ata shimu.
