Luka 19
1 Yesu ajhingili ni kup'eta pagati pa Yeriko.
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 Ni apu pajhele ni munu mmonga jhaakutibhweghe Zakayo. Ambajhe ajhele mbaha ghwa bhatoza ushuru kabhele munu tajiri.
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 Akajha ijaribu kumbona Yesu ndo munu kulola kwandabha jha umati bhwa bhanu, kwandabha ajhe mfupi ghwa kimo.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 Hivyo, alongolili mbio mbele sya bhanu, akakwela panani pa mkuyu ili abhwesiajhi kumbona, kwandabha Yesu akaribili kup'etela njela ejhu.
And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 Wakati Yesu afikili mahali pala, akalenga kunani akan'jobhela, 'Zakayo, selelayi manyata, maana lelu lazima nishindayi munyumba jha bhebhe.'.
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at your house.
6 Akabhomba haraka, akaselela ni kun'karibisya kwa furaha.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Bhanu bhoha bho bhabhuene aghu bhalalamiki, bhakajobha, 'Alotili kun'gendela munu mwenye dhambi.'
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 Zakayo akajhema akan'jobhela Bwana, Nusu gha mali jha nene nikabhapela maskini, na jhikajhiajhi ninyakili munu jhejhioha khenu, ni betakunkerebhusila mara nne.'
And Zacchaeus 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 fourfold.
9 Yesu akan'jobhela, lelu wokovu ufikili munyumba ejhe, kwandabha muene kabhele ni mwana ghwa Ibrahimu.
And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, as much as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Kwandabha mwana ghwa munu ahidili kulonda ni kuokola bhanu bhabhajhaghili.'
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 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.
And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 Hivyo akabhajobhela, 'Ofisa mmonga alotili nchi jha patali ili apokelayi ufalme ni kisha akerebhukajhi.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Abhakutili bhatumishi bhwa muene kumi, akabhapela mafungu kumi, akabhajobhela, mubhombelayi biashara mpaka pa nibeta kukerebhuka.'
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till I come.
14 Lakini bhananchi bha muene bhan'dadili na hivyo bhakalaghisya bhajumbe bhalotayi kun'kesya ni kujobha, Twilondalepi munu ojho atutawalayi.'
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 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.
And it came to pass, that when he was 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.
16 Wa kuanza akahida, akajobha, `Bwana, fungu lya jhobhi libhombili mafungu kumi zaidi.'
Then came the first, saying, Lord, your pound has gained ten pounds.
17 Ofisa ojhu akan'jobhela, kinofu mtumishi rinofu. Kwandabha wajhele ghwe mwaminifu mu khenu kidebe, wibeta kujha ni madaraka juu jha miji kumi.'
And he said to him, Well, you good servant: because you have been faithful in a very little, have you authority over ten cities.
18 Wa pili akahida, akajobha, 'Bwana, fungu lya jhobhi libhombili mafungu mahanu.'
And the second came, saying, Lord, your pound has gained five pounds.
19 Afisa ojhu akan'jobhela, 'Tolayi mamlaka juu jha miji mihanu.'
And he said likewise to him, Be you also over five cities.
20 Ni jhongi akahida, akajobha, `Bwana ejhe apa hela jha jhobhi najhitunzili kinofu mu kitambala,
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21 Kwandabha natikili bhebhe ghwe n'kali. ghwibhosya khela kya ubhekilepi ni kuvuna khela kya ubelikupanda.'
For I feared you, because you are an austere man: you take up that you layed not down, and reap that you did not sow.
22 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.
And he says to him, Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
23 Basi, mbona ghwabhekilepi hela jha nene benki, ili nikakerebhukayi niitolayi pamonga ni faida?
Why then gave not you my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with usury?
24 Ofisa akabhajobhela bhanu bhabhajhemili apu, 'Munyakayi lifungu e'lu ni kumpela jhola mwenye mafungu kumi.'
And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that has ten pounds.
25 Bhakan'jobhela, `Bwana, muene ajhe ni mafungu kumi.'
(And they said to him, Lord, he has ten pounds.)
26 'Nikabhajobhela, kila munu jhaa jhe naku ibeta kupelibhwa nesu, lakini jhaadulili, hata khela kya ajhenaku kitolibhwa.
For I say to you, That to every one which has shall be given; and from him that has not, even that he has shall be taken away from him.
27 Lakini abha maadui bha nene, ambabho bhilonda lepi nijhelayi mfalme ghwa bhene, mubhaletayi apa ni kubhakoma mbele jha muenga.”
But those my enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay them before me.
28 Baada jha kujobha aghu, akajhendelela palongolo akakwela kulota Yerusalemu.
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 Bho akaribili Bethfage ni Bethania, karibu ni kidonda kya Mizeituni, akabhalaghisya bhanafunzi bha muene bhabhele,
And it came to pass, when he was come near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 Akajobha: `Mulotayi mu kijiji kya jirani. Mkajhingilayi, mwibeta kun'kolela mwana -punda apandisibhulepi akona. Mumbopolayi, mundetayi kwa nene.
Saying, Go you into the village over against you; in the which at your entering you shall find a colt tied, where on yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him here.
31 Kama munu abhakotili kwandajha kiki mwibhopola? 'Mujobhayi, “Bwana akandonda.”
And if any man ask you, Why do you loose him? thus shall you say to him, Because the Lord has need of him.
32 Bhala bhabhatumibhu bhakalota bhakambona mwana-punda kama Yesu kyaabhajobhili.
And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said to them.
33 Bho bhikambopola mwana-punda bhamiliki bhakebhajobhela, 'Kwandajha kiki mkambopola mwana punda ojhu?'
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said to them, Why loose you the colt?
34 Bhakajobha, `Bwana akandonda.'
And they said, The Lord has need of him.
35 Basi, bhakampelekela Yesu bhakatandika ghobho sya bhene panani pa mwana punda ni kun'kwesya Yesu panani.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments on the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 Bho ilota bhanu bhakatandasya maguanda gha bhene mu njela.
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 Bho iselela kidonda kya Mizeituni, jumuiya jhioha jha bhanafunzi bhakajhanda kushangilila ni kun'tukusya k'yara kwa sauti mbaha, kwandabha jha mambo mabhaha bhaghabhwene,
And when he was come near, 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;
38 Bhakajobha, 'Ndo mbarikibhwa mfalme jhaihida kwa lihina lya Bwana! Amani kumbinguni, ni utukufu panani!'
Saying, Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Baadhi jha Mafarisayo pa mkutano bhakan'jobhela, Mwalimu, bhagudamisiajhi bhanafunzi bha jhobhi.'
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke your disciples.
40 Yesu akajibu akajobha, `Nikabhajobhela, kama abha bhakagudamayi, maganga ghibeta kukwesya sauti.'
And he answered and said to them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 Yesu bhoaukaribili mji aulelili,
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 Akajobha, laiti ngaumanyi hata bhebhe, mu ligono e'le mambo ambagho ghibeta kuletela amani! Lakini henu ghakifighili pamihu gha jhobhi.
Saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong to your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes.
43 Kwa kujha magono ghihida ambagho maadui bha jhobhi bhibeta kujenga liboma karibu ni bhebhe ni kukusyongoka ni kukukandamisya kuh'oma khila lubhafu.
For the days shall come on you, that your enemies shall cast a trench about you, and compass you round, and keep you in on every side,
44 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'.
And shall lay you even with the ground, and your children within you; and they shall not leave in you one stone on another; because you knew not the time of your visitation.
45 Yesu akajhingila mu lihekalu, akajhanda kubhabhenga bhala bhabhahemelisiaghe,
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
46 Akabhajobhela, “Jhilembibhu, 'Nyumba jha nene jhibeta kujha nyumba jha sala, 'lakini muenga mujhifwanyili kujha lipangu lya bhanyang'anyi”.
Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but you have made it a den of thieves.
47 Henu, Yesu akajha ifundisya khila ligono mu hekalu. Makuhani bhabhaha ni bhalimu bha sheria ni bhalongosi bha bhanu bhalondeghe kun'koma,
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 Lakini bhabhwesi lepi kukabha njela jha kubhomba naha, kwandabha bhanu bhoha bhajhele bha kamp'el'ek'esya kwa makini.
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
