Luke 19
1 So He entered Jericho and was passing through the town.
Jesu abe njili ni ku hita mukati ka Jeriko.
2 There was a man there called Zacchaeus, who was the local surveyor of taxes, and was wealthy.
Imi, kubena mukwame aba ku sumpwa Zakia. A bali mukulwana ku balihisi mi a baku fumite.
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.
A ba kulika ku bona kuti kanti Jesu njeni, kono kana aba kuwola kubona kwi shila lye chikwata, bakeñi cha kuti abali mufwihi.
4 So he ran on in front and climbed up a mulberry tree to see Him; for He was about to pass that way.
Mi cha tilila ku busu bwa bantu ni kukantanta kwi isamu lya sikomore kuti amubone, kakuti Jesu kwa bakuhitila.
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."
Mi Jesu ha sika hecho chibaka, cha lola kwiwulu mi cha muwambila kuti, “Zakia, suke hansi kakuhwela, mukuti sunu ni kekala kwi nzubo ya ko.”
6 So he came down in haste, and welcomed Him joyfully.
Cha suka kapili, kwi za hansi mi chamutambula na tabite.
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.
Mi bantu haba bona vulyo, chi ba bilela, chiba wamba, “Cha yenda kukupotela mukwame wina chibi.”
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."
Zakia cha zimana mi cha wamba kwe Ireeza kuti, “Bone, Ireeza, ni bahi imbali yimwi ye ntuntu yangu kubanjebwe, mi heba kwina yenke uni bachengeleli ni chimwi, ka nimu bozekeze zone.”
9 Turning towards him, Jesus replied, "To-day salvation has come to this house, seeing that he too is a son of Abraham.
Jesu cha wamba kwali, “Sunu i puluso yeza mwi nzubo yako, kakuti nawe u mwana wa Abrahama.
10 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
Mukuti Mwana a Muntu a ba kezi ku gana ni ku haza bantu ba zobete.”
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.
Mi haba zuwa izo zintu, cha zwila habusu ku wamba mi na wamba che nguli, kakuti cha bena hafwihi ni Jerusalema, mi baba kuhupula kuti mubuso we Ireeza chiu bena hafwihi ni kwiza.
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.
Cha wamba, “Zumwi kuluzubo lwa busimwine cha yenda kule mwi nkanda kukali wanina mubuso ni ku kabola.”
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.
Cha sumpa i kumi lya bahikana ba kwe, cha baha ikumi lye pondo lya masheleni, mi cha wamba ku bali kuti, “Mu pange mu ku wuza ku lindila chi naka bola.
14 "Now his countrymen hated him, and sent a deputation after him to say, 'We are not willing that he should become our king.'
“Kono ba mushobo wakwe chi ba mutoya mi chi ba tumina chikwata chabazimanini mwisule lyakwe, mi ni ba wamba kuti, “Kese tu siye uzu muntu kuti atu yendise.”
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.
Chi zapangahala haka bola hape, ha mana kuka wana mubuso, cha laela bahikana abo baba hewa masheleni kuti basumpwe kwali, kuti eze ezibe kuti kanti nji bukai ibaba wani yahewulu ha baba ku wuza.
16 "So the first came and said, "'Sir, your pound has produced ten pounds more.'
We ntanzi cheza kwali, na wamba kuti, “Ireeza, ha masheleni ako ni ba pangi ikumwi lya masheleni hewulu,
17 "'Well done, good servant,' he replied; 'because you have been faithful in a very small matter, be in authority over ten towns.'
Yo zwa kuluzubo lwa busimwine cha wamba kwali kuti, “Wa tenda hande, u mu hikana yo shiyeme. Mukuti uba sepahali kuzintu zi nini, ko be imu yendisi hewulu lyekumi lya mileneni.”
18 "The second came, and said, "'Your pound, Sir, has produced five pounds.'
Mi wa bubeli cheza, na wamba kuti, Ma masheleni ako, Ireeza, aa panga i yanza lya masheleni hewulu.
19 "So he said to this one also, "'And you, be the governor of five towns.'
“Yo zwa haluzubo lwa busimwine cha wamba kwali kuti, ko yendise i yanza lye mileneñi.”
20 "The next came. "'Sir,' he said, 'here is your pound, which I have kept wrapt up in a cloth.
Hape zumwi cheza, na wamba kuti, “Ireeza, masheleni ako aa, ni baabikite mwi njiila,
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.'
kakuti ni ba ku tiite, mukuti u muntu yo bambamite. U hinda mosana uba biki, mi u sinza mosana u ba byali.”
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:
Wa luzubo lya busimwine cha wamba kwali kuti, “kachi wambo chako ka ni ku atule, iwe muhikana mubi. U bezi kuti ime ni muntu yo bambamite, ni hinda ha ni sana ni ba biki, mi ni sinza mu ni sana ni babyali.
23 why then did you not put my money into a bank, that when I came I might have received it back with interest?
Mi chinzi ho sana u ba biki masheleni angu mwi banka, kuti ime chi na kabola, nize ni ahinde ni chimwi hewulu?”
24 "And he said to those who stood by, "'Take the pound from him and give it to him who has the ten pounds.'
Wa luzubo lwa busimwine cha wamba ku bose baba zimene, “Mu hinde masheleni ena kwali, mi mumu he ikumi lya masheleni,”
25 ("They said to him, "'Sir, he already has ten pounds.')
Chi ba wamba kwali kuti, Ireeza, wina kale i kumi lya masheleni.
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.
Ni wamba kwenu, muntu yese wina u swanezi kuhewa zingi, kono kwa kwe ya seena, niheba chi na cha kwete ka chi hindwe kwali.
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.'"
Kono zila zangu, abo ba sa ni suni kuti ni ni bayendise, mu ba lete kunu mi mwize mubehaye habusu bwangu.”
28 After thus speaking, He journeyed onward, proceeding up to Jerusalem.
Ha wamba izo zintu, cha zwila habusu, ku yenda kwa Jerusalema.
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,
Hati cho chunine ha fwihi ni Bertifage ni Betania, helundu li sumpwa Oliveta, cha tuma balutwana bobele,
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.
na wamba kuti, “Mu yende ha munzi uwo wi chilila, mi chi mwe njila bulyo, ka muwane i mbongolo i seni kwi chilwa. Mu yisumunune mi muyi lete kunu kwangu.
31 And if any one asks you, 'Why are you untying the colt?' simply say, 'The Master needs it.'"
Heba kwina yete ami buze, “Chinzi ha mu i sumununa? mu wambe kuti, Ireeza njo i suna.”
32 So those who were sent went and found things as He had told them.
A bo baba tumwitwe baba yendi ni kuka wana i mbongolo bo bulyo mwa ba wambili Jesu.
33 And while they were untying the colt the owners called out, "Why are you untying the colt?"
Ha baba ku kwete ku sumununa i mbongolo, bene bayo chiba wamba ku bali kuti, “Chinzi ha mu sumununa i mbongolo?”
34 and they replied, "The Master needs it."
Chi ba wamba kuti, “Ireeza njo i suni.”
35 Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their outer garments on the colt they placed Jesus on it.
Chi ba kayi leta kwa Jesu, mi chi ba zala zizwato he mbongolo mi chi be tantika ho Jesu.
36 So He rode on, while they carpeted the road with their garments.
Ha ba ba ku yenda, chi ba zala chizwato za bo mu nzila.
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.
Ha chunina ha chibaka cina zi samu ze olive, bungi bwa balutwana ci ba tanga ku luluweza ni ku temba Ireeza ka muhuwo mukando ka mitendo mi lontu yi baba boni,
38 "Blessed is the King," they cried, "who comes in the name of the Lord: in Heaven peace, and glory in the highest realms."
ni ba wamba kuti, “Kutompwe simwine yo kezite mwi zina lye Ireeza! Kusanga ku be kwi wulu mi ikanya i be hewulu!”
39 Thereupon some of the Pharisees in the crowd appealed to Him, saying, "Rabbi, reprove your disciples."
Bamwi ku Bafalisi ba bena mu chikwata, chi ba wamba kwali kuti, “Muluti, kalimele balutwana bako.”
40 "I tell you," He replied, "that if they became silent, the very stones would cry out."
Jesu che taba cha wamba kuti, Ni mi wambila, heba aba ni ba ntontola, ma ñomwe ka a huwe.”
41 When He came into full view of the city, He wept aloud over it, and exclaimed,
Cwale Jesu ha chunina ku muleneni, ca lila,
42 "O that at this time thou hadst known--yes even thou--what makes peace possible! But now it is hid from thine eyes.
na wamba kuti, Kambe u be zibite ze linu i zuba lya ko li ka kuletele ikozo, kono hanu zi patitwe ha menso ako.
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.
Mi mazuba ka akeze hewulu lyako, mi zila zako ka zi ku zimbuluse ni lukwakwa, mi zikuzimbuluke, ni kuku kakatiza imbali zose.
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."
Ka ba ku wisikize hasi iwe ni bana bako. Keteni ba siye ibwe hewulu lya limwi, mukuti kena u be zibi Ireeza ha ba kusuni ku kutusa.
45 Then Jesus entered the Temple and proceeded to drive out the dealers.
Jesu che njila mwi keleke ni ku tandila hanze bonse baba ku wuza,
46 "It is written," He said, "'And My house shall be the House of Prayer,' but you have made it a robbers' cave."
na wamba ku bali kuti, “Ku ba ñoletwe, “I nzubo yangu ye ntapelo, kono inwe chi mwa yi tenda inzubo ya basa.”
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.
Mi Jesu aba ku kutaza izuba ni zuba mwi keleke, ba kulwana ba Mapurisita, ni bañola mane ni bakulwana be cisi, ba ba ku saka ku mwi haya.
48 But they could not find any way of doing it, for the people all hung upon His lips.
Kono kana ba ba wani inzila ya ku tenda bulyo, mukuti chisi chonse ci bakumalele ku muzuwa.
