Luke 19
1 Jesus el utyak nu Jericho, ac fahsr sasla we.
Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.
2 Oasr sie mwet kol lun mwet eisani tax in acn sac, inel pa Zacchaeus, su sie mwet na kasrup.
There was a man there, known by the name of Zacchaeus, who was a senior tax collector and a rich man.
3 El srike elan wi liye lah su Jesus, tusruk ke sripen el mwet na fototo se, oru el kofla liyalak Jesus mweyen mwet uh arulana pus.
He tried to see what Jesus was like; but, being short, he was unable to do so because of the crowd.
4 Na el kasrusr nu meet ac fanyak nu ulun sak sycamore soko elan ku in liyal Jesus ke el fahsryak in acn sac.
So he ran on ahead and climbed into a mulberry tree to see Jesus, for he knew that he must pass that way.
5 Ke Jesus el sun acn sac, el ngetak ac fahk nu sel Zacchaeus, “Zacchaeus, sulaklak fani, mweyen misenge nga ac muta in lohm sum.”
When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I must stop at your house today.’
6 Zacchaeus el sulaklak fani, ac el engan ma lulap in eisal Jesus nu in lohm sel.
So Zacchaeus got down quickly, and joyfully welcomed him.
7 Mwet nukewa su liye ma inge elos mutawauk in torkaskas ac fahk, “Mwet se inge utyak ac muta in lohm sin sie mwet koluk!”
On seeing this, everyone began to complain, ‘He has gone to stay with a man who is an outcast.’
8 Zacchaeus el tuyak ac fahk nu sin Leum, “Leum, nga ke fahk nu sum lah nga ac sang tafu mwe kasrup luk nu sin mwet sukasrup, ac nga fin tuh kiapwela kutena mwet ke ma lalos, nga ac fah akfalye nu sel pacl akosr yohk liki ma nga eisla.”
But Zacchaeus stood forward and said to the Master, ‘Listen, Master! I will give half my property to the poor, and, if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give him back four times as much.’
9 Jesus el fahk nu sel, “Mwet nukewa lohm uh langoeyukla misenge, tuh mwet se inge el oayapa ma in fwilin tulik natul Abraham.
‘Salvation has come to this house today,’ answered Jesus, ‘for even this man is a son of Abraham.
10 Wen nutin Mwet el tuku in suk ac in molela mwet su tuhlac.”
The Son of Man has come to search for those who are lost and to save them.’
11 Ke mwet uh srakna lohng ma inge, Jesus el sifilpa fahkak nu selos sie pupulyuk. In pacl se inge el apkuran in sun acn Jerusalem, ac elos nunku mu Tokosrai lun God akuranna sikyak.
As the people were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell them a parable. He did so because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to be proclaimed at once.
12 Ouinge el fahk, “Oasr sie mwet leum su ako in som nu in sie acn loessula in tuh touyak el nu ke tokosra. Ac el akoo mu el ac sifil foloko nu yen sel tukun el walak uh.
He said, ‘A nobleman once went to a distant country to receive his appointment to a kingdom and then return.
13 Meet liki el som, el pangonma mwet kulansap singoul lal, ac sang nu sin kais sie selos ipin mani gold se, ac fahk nu selos, ‘Liye lah mea kowos ac ku in konauk in laesla ma inge ke nga ac som uh.’
He called ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds of silver each, and told them to trade with them during his absence.
14 A mwet in facl sel arulana kwasel, na elos supwala kutu mwet utuk kas in som tokol ac fahk, ‘Kut tia lungse mwet se inge in tokosra lasr.’
But his subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say “We will not have this man as our king.”
15 “Mwet sac tokosrala, na el foloko. Na el sap mwet kulansap lal uh in tuku elan liye lah lupa su elos akyokyelik ke ipin mani el tuh sang nu selos ah.
On his return, after having been appointed king, he directed that the servants to whom he had given his money should be summoned, so that he might learn what amount of trade they had done.
16 Mwet se oemeet ah tuku ac fahk, ‘Leum luk, nga laesla ipin mani gold se ma kom tuh ase nu sik ah ke ipin gold singoul.’
The first came up, and said “Sir, your ten pounds have made a hundred.”
17 Tokosra sac fahk, ‘Wo orekma lom. Kom sie mwet kulansap oaru! Ke sripen kom oaru ke ma srik, nga ac fah sot kom in leum fin siti singoul.’
“Well done, good servant!” exclaimed the master. “As you have proved trustworthy in a very small matter, I appoint you governor over ten towns.”
18 Mwet se akluo ah tuku ac fahk, ‘Leum luk, nga laesla mani se kom tuh ase nu sik ah ke ipin gold limekosr.’
When the second came, he said “Your ten pounds, Sir, have produced fifty.”
19 Na tokosra sac fahk nu sin mwet sac, ‘Kom ac fah leum fin siti limekosr.’
So the master said to him “And you I appoint over five towns.”
20 Sie pac mwet kulansap uh tuku ac fahk, ‘Leum luk, pa inge ipin mani gold se lom ah. Nga liyaung na ac nokomla ke sie ipin nuknuk.
Another servant also came and said “Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put away in a handkerchief.
21 Nga sangeng sum mweyen kom sie mwet na upa. Kom eis ma su tia ma lom, ac kosrani ke ma kom tia taknelik.’
For I was afraid of you, because you are a stern man. You take what you have not planted, and reap what you have not sown.”
22 Na tokosra sac fahk nu sel, ‘Kom mwet kulansap koluk! Nga ac fah orekmakin kas lom sifacna in nununkekom! Kom etu lah nga mwet upa se, su eis ma su tia ma luk, ac kosrani ke ma nga tia taknelik.
The master answered “Out of your own mouth I judge you, you worthless servant. You knew that I am a stern man, that I take what I have not planted, and reap what I have not sown?
23 Ke ouingan uh, efu ku kom tia filiya mani luk an in bank, na ke nga foloko nga lukun eis wi kap kac?’
Then why didn’t you put my money into a bank? And I, on my return, could have claimed it with interest.
24 Na tokosra sac fahk nu sin mwet ma tu insac uh, ‘Eisla ipin mani gold sacn lukel, ac sang nu sin mwet kulansap se ma ipin mani gold singoul oasr yoro an.’
Take away from him the ten pounds,” he said to those standing by, “and give them to the one who has the hundred.”
25 A elos fahk nu sel, ‘Leum, oasr tari ipin mani gold singoul yorol!’
“But, Sir,” they said, “he has a hundred pounds already!”
26 Ac el topuk, ‘Nga fahk nu suwos, kutena mwet su oasr ma lal, ac fah itukyang pac kutu ma yohk liki nu sel. A mwet su wangin ma lal, finne ma srisrik su oan sel ac fah itukla lukel.
“I tell you,” he answered, “that, to him who has, more will be given, but, from him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.
27 Inge, nu sin mwet lokoalok luk su tia lungse ngan tokosra lalos, usalosme ac onelosla nukewa ye mutuk!’”
But as for my enemies, these men who would not have me as their king, bring them here and put them to death in my presence.”’
28 Tukun Jesus el fahk ma inge, el fahsr meet lukelos in som nu Jerusalem.
After saying this, Jesus went on in front, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Ke el apkuranyang nu Bethphage ac Bethany ke Fineol Olive, el supwala luo sin mwet tumal lutlut uh in som meet,
It was when Jesus had almost reached Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, that he sent on two of the disciples.
30 ac el fahk nu seltal: “Komtal fahsrot nu in siti srisrik se meeto ingo. Ke komtal tufahna utyak nu we komtal ac liye soko donkey fusr kapir in acn sac su soenna oasr mwet muta fac. Tulalla ac usalu.
‘Go to the village facing us,’ he said, ‘and, when you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has yet ridden; untie it and lead it here.
31 Fin oasr mwet siyuk lah efu komtal ku tulalla, komtal fahk mu, ‘Leum el enenal.’”
And, if anybody asks you “Why are you untying it?”, you are to say this – “The Master wants it.”’
32 Eltal som ac liye tuh ma nukewa oana ma Jesus el fahk nu seltal ah.
So the two who were sent went and found it as Jesus had told them.
33 Ke pacl se eltal tulala donkey fusr soko ah, mwet ma natu ah siyuk seltal, ‘Efu ku komtal tulala?”
While they were untying the foal, the owners asked them – ‘Why are you untying the foal?’
34 Ac eltal fahk, “Leum el enenal.”
And the two disciples answered – ‘The Master wants it.’
35 Na eltal pwanla donkey fusr soko ah nu yurin Jesus. Elos filiya nuknuk lalos nu fac, ac kasrel Jesus elan sroang.
Then they led it back to Jesus, and threw their cloaks on the foal and put Jesus on it.
36 Ke el som, mwet uh laknelik nuknuk lalos uh fin inkanek uh.
As he went along, the people kept spreading their cloaks in the road.
37 Ke el tuku apkuran nu Jerusalem, ke acn se ma inkanek uh oatui ke Fineol Olive, sie u na lulap sin mwet tumal lutlut elos mutawauk in engan ac kaksakin God ke pusra lulap ke ma usnguk puspis ma elos wi liye.
When he had almost reached the place where the road led down the Mount of Olives, everyone of the many disciples began in their joy to praise God loudly for all the miracles that they had seen:
38 Elos fahk, “God Elan akinsewowoye tokosra su tuku Inen Leum! Misla in kusrao, ac wolana nu sin God!”
‘Blessed is He who comes – our king – in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory on high.’
39 Na kutu sin mwet Pharisee inmasrlon un mwet uh fahk nu sin Jesus, “Mwet Luti, fahk nu sin mwet tomom lutlut inge elos in misla!”
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, ‘Teacher, restrain your disciples.’
40 Ac Jesus el topuk, “Nga fahk nu suwos, elos fin misla, na eot uh ac fah mutawauk in wowoyak.”
But Jesus answered, ‘I tell you that if they are silent, the stones will call out.’
41 El tuku apkuranyang nu ke siti uh, ac ke el liye, el tung kac,
When he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it, and said,
42 ac fahk, “Saok kom in etu misenge ma ac ku in sot misla nu sum! A inge kom tia ku in liye!
‘If only you had known, while yet there was time – even you – the things that make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your sight.
43 Pacl se ac fah tuku ke mwet lokoalok lom ac fah raunikomla ac kuhluskomla, ac kosrekomla ac putati nu fom liki acn nukewa.
For a time is coming when your enemies will surround you with earthworks, and encircle you, and hem you in on all sides;
44 Elos ac fah arulana kunauskomla wi mwet nukewa su muta in pot fulat lom. Wangin sie eot ac fah oan yen se, mweyen kom tuh tia akilen pacl se God El tuku in tuh molikomla ah!”
they will trample you down and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.’
45 Na Jesus el som nu in Tempul ac mutawauk in lusak mwet kuka uh,
Jesus went into the Temple Courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
46 ac el fahk nu selos, “Simla in Ma Simusla mu God El fahk, ‘Tempul luk ac fah sie lohm in pre,’ a kowos ekulla nu ke sie acn in wikla lun mwet pisrapasr!”
saying as he did so, ‘Scripture says – “My house will be a house of prayer”; but you have made it a den of robbers.’
47 Len nukewa Jesus el luti in Tempul. Un mwet tol fulat, ac mwet luti Ma Sap, ac mwet kol lun mwet uh elos kena unilya,
Jesus continued to teach each day in the Temple Courts; but the chief priests and teachers of the Law were eager to take his life, and so also were the leaders of the people.
48 tusruk elos koflana konauk lah elos ac oru fuka, mweyen mwet uh lungse lohng kas nukewa ke luti lal uh.
Yet they could not see what to do, for the people all hung on his words.
