Luke 19
1 So He entered Jericho and was passing through the town.
Che Yesu ŵajinjile ku Yeliko ni ŵaliji nkupita.
2 There was a man there called Zacchaeus, who was the local surveyor of taxes, and was wealthy.
Jwapali mundu jumo liina lyakwe che Sakayo, juŵaliji jwankulu jwa ŵakukumbikanya nsongo, nombe jwaliji jwachipanje.
3 He was anxious to see what sort of man Jesus was; but he could not because of the crowd, for he was short in stature.
Ŵasachile kwawona Che Yesu kuti ŵaliji ŵaani nambo ŵalepele ligongo lya winji wa ŵandu ni pakuŵa ŵaliji jwanjipi.
4 So he ran on in front and climbed up a mulberry tree to see Him; for He was about to pass that way.
Nipele, ŵautuchile mmbujo ni ŵakwesile chitela chachikulungwa cha nkuju kuti akombole kwawona pakuŵa ŵaliji nkupita lyele litala lyo.
5 As soon as Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for I must stay at your house to-day."
Che Yesu paŵaiche peuto po ŵalolite mwinani ni ŵansalile, “Che Sakayo, ntuluche chitema pakuŵa lelo jino ikumajila kulonjela mu nyuumba jenu.”
6 So he came down in haste, and welcomed Him joyfully.
Che Sakayo ŵajangwiye kutuluka ni ŵapochele kwa kusengwa.
7 When they all saw this, they began to complain with indignation. "He has gone in to be the guest of a notorious sinner!" they said.
Ŵandu wose paŵaiweni yele, ŵatandite kunyinyita achitiji, “Ajinjile kulonjela kwa mundu jwa sambi.”
8 Zacchaeus however stood up, and addressing the Lord said, "Here and now, Master, I give half my property to the poor, and if I have unjustly exacted money from any man, I pledge myself to repay to him four times the amount."
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 Turning towards him, Jesus replied, "To-day salvation has come to this house, seeing that he too 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 has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
Pakuŵa Mwana jwa Mundu aiche kukwasosa ni kukwakulupusya ŵasochele.”
11 As they were listening to His words, He went on to teach them by a parable, because He was near to Jerusalem and they supposed that the Kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
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 So He said to them, "A man of noble family travelled to a distant country to obtain the rank of king, 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 ten of his servants and gave each of them a pound, instructing them to trade with the money during his absence.
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 "Now his countrymen hated him, and sent a deputation after him to say, 'We are not willing that he should become our king.'
Nambo achinsyene musi, ŵanchimile ni ŵalajisye ŵantenga ajaule akajile ‘Ngatukunsaka mundu ju atulongosye uwe.’
15 And upon his return, after he had obtained the sovereignty, he ordered those servants to whom he had given the money to be summoned before him, that he might learn their success in 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 "So the first came and said, "'Sir, your pound has produced ten pounds more.'
Kapolo jwaandanda jwaiche paujo pao ni ŵatite, ‘Ambuje, mbiya jenu jimwambele jijonjesyeche mbiya likumi.’
17 "'Well done, good servant,' he replied; 'because you have been faithful in a very small matter, be in authority over ten towns.'
Nombewo ŵansalile, ‘Ntesile yambone, mmwejo ndi kapolo jwambone. Pakuŵa mwaliji jwakukulupilichika pa indu yenandi, nkoleje ulamusi pachanya pa misi likumi!’
18 "The second came, and said, "'Your pound, Sir, has produced five pounds.'
Kapolo jwaaŵili jwaiche nikuti, ‘Ambuje, mbiya jenu jimwambele jijonjesyeche mbiya sine nsano.’
19 "So he said to this one also, "'And you, be the governor of five towns.'
Nombewo ŵansalile jwelejo kuti, ‘Nomwe ŵakwe nkoleje ulamusi pachanya misi nsano.’
20 "The next came. "'Sir,' he said, 'here is your pound, which I have kept wrapt up in a cloth.
“Nipele, kapolo jwine jwaiche achitiji, ‘Ambuje, aji ni mbiya jenu jimwambele jila, nagosile uchenene mu chiguo cha mwana chammakono.
21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man: you take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.'
Ligongo nanjogopaga, pakuŵa mmwe ndi mundu jwakunonopa ntima. Mundu junkuigala yangaŵa yenu ni kugoola yanganimpande.’
22 "'By your own words,' he replied, 'I will judge you, you bad servant. You knew me to be a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what 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 why then did you not put my money into a bank, that when I came I might have received it back with interest?
Ligongo chi nganinjausya mbiya jangu kwa ŵakutyosya yakoonjecheka, kuti une pachiuje nyaule ngajigale ni yakupunda yakwe?’
24 "And he said to those who stood by, "'Take the pound from him and give it to him who has the ten pounds.'
“Pelepo ŵaasalile uŵajimi pepala ŵala, ‘Munsumule mbiya jo, nkaape jwakwete mbiya likumi jula.’
25 ("They said to him, "'Sir, he already has ten pounds.')
Ŵanyawo ŵansalile, ‘Ambuje, nambo jwelejo akwete chile mbiya likumi!’
26 "'I tell you that to every one who has anything, more shall be given; and from him who has not anything, even what he has shall be taken away.
Nombewo ŵajanjile kuti, ‘Ngunsalila, kwa jwalijose jwakwete chindu chachipegwa ni kujonjechekwa. Nambo kwa jwanganakola chindu atamuno chamwana chakwete cho chichijigalikwe.
27 But as for those enemies of mine who were unwilling that I should become their king, bring them here, and cut them to pieces in my presence.'"
Nambo, yankati aŵaŵa ŵammagongo ŵangu uŵakanile kuti ninaalongosye, mwaichisye apano ni kwasikita paujo pangu.’”
28 After thus speaking, He journeyed onward, proceeding up to Jerusalem.
Che Yesu paŵaŵechete gelego, ŵajendelechele ni ulendo paujo pao wa ku Yelusalemu.
29 And when he was come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount called the Oliveyard, He sent two of the disciples on in front,
Paŵaŵandichile ku Besefage ni ku Besania, chiŵandi ni chikwesya chachigumbele itela ya Miseituni, ŵalajisye ŵaŵili mwa ŵakulijiganya ŵao.
30 saying to them, "Go into the village facing you. On entering it you will find an ass's foal tied up which no one has ever yet ridden: untie it, and bring it here.
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 one asks you, 'Why are you untying the colt?' simply say, 'The Master needs it.'"
Sooni iŵaga chakammusye mundu kuti, ligongo chi nkungopola? Nkajile, ‘Ambuje akunsaka.’”
32 So those who were sent went and found things as He had told them.
Nipele, uŵalajisye ŵala ŵajawile ni ŵaisimene mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu.
33 And while they were untying the colt the owners called out, "Why are you untying the colt?"
Paŵaliji nkungopola mwanambunda jula, achinsyene ni ŵausisye, “Ana ligongo chi nkungopola mwanambunda ju?”
34 and they replied, "The Master needs it."
Ŵajanjile, “Ambuje akunsaka.”
35 Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their outer garments on the colt they placed Jesus on it.
Ŵanjigele mwanambunda jula ni kwapelechela Che Yesu. Ŵatandiche iwalo yao pachanya pa mwanambunda jo ni ŵankwesisye Che Yesu pachanya pakwe.
36 So He rode on, while they carpeted the road with their garments.
Paŵajendelechelelaga ni ulendo ŵandu ŵatandiche iwalo yao mwitala.
37 And when He was now getting near Jerusalem, and descending the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began in their joy to praise God in loud voices for all the mighty deeds they had witnessed.
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 "Blessed is the King," they cried, "who comes in the name of the Lord: in Heaven peace, and glory in the highest realms."
ŵatite “Akole upile Mwenye jwakwika mu liina lya Ambuje. Chitendewele kwinani ni ukulu kwa Akumanani.”
39 Thereupon some of the Pharisees in the crowd appealed to Him, saying, "Rabbi, reprove your disciples."
Mafalisayo ŵampepe ŵaŵaliji mu mpingo wa ŵandu mula ŵansalile Che Yesu kuti, “Jŵakwiganya, mwakalipile ŵakulijiganya ŵenu!”
40 "I tell you," He replied, "that if they became silent, the very stones would cry out."
Che Yesu ŵajanjile kuti, “Ngunsalila ŵanyamwe, naga chamyalale ŵanyaŵa, maganga chigatande kunyokonya.”
41 When He came into full view of the city, He wept aloud over it, and exclaimed,
Paŵaŵandichile ni kuulola musi wa ku Yelusalemu, Che Yesu ŵalisile ligongo lya musi wo
42 "O that at this time thou hadst known--yes even thou--what makes peace possible! But now it is hid from thine eyes.
achitiji, “Ikaliji mbaya nkaimanyilile lelo jino, indu yaikwikanawo chitendewele! Nambo sambano isisiche pa meeso genu.
43 For the time is coming upon thee when thy foes will throw up around thee earthworks and a wall, investing thee and hemming thee in on every side.
Pakuŵa moŵa chigannyichile mmwe ni ŵammagongo ŵenu chansyunguchisye likumba ni chachinsyungula ni kummijikanya kosekose.
44 And they will dash thee to the ground and thy children within thee, and will not leave one stone upon another within thee; because thou hast not recognized 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 Then Jesus entered the Temple and proceeded to drive out the dealers.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni ŵatandite kwaŵinjila paasa ŵaŵasumisyaga malonda,
46 "It is written," He said, "'And My house shall be the House of Prayer,' but you have made it a robbers' cave."
achitiji, “Ilembekwe yati, ‘Nyuumba jangu chijiŵe nyuumba ja kupopela’, nambo ŵanyamwe njitesile peuto pakulisisila ŵawiyi.”
47 And day after day He taught in the Temple, while the High Priests and the Scribes were devising some means of destroying Him, as were also the leading men of the people.
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 But they could not find any way of doing it, for the people all hung upon His lips.
nambo nganamanyilila ichajile pakupanganya, pakuŵa ŵandu wose ŵaliji nkwapilikanichisya uchenene.
