Lukka 19
1 Awo Yesu n’atuuka mu kibuga Yeriko, n’ayitamu.
Now when Iesus entred and passed through Iericho,
2 Mu kibuga omwo mwalimu omusajja erinnya lye Zaakayo; yali mukulu wa bawooza, era yali mugagga nnyo.
Beholde, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chiefe receiuer of the tribute, and he was riche.
3 N’afuba okulaba Yesu, naye n’atasobola ng’ali mu kibiina ky’abantu kubanga yali mumpi.
And he sought to see Iesus, who hee should be, and coulde not for the preasse, because he was of a lowe stature.
4 Kyeyava adduka ne yeesooka ekibiina mu maaso, n’alinnya omuti omusukamooli asobole okulaba Yesu ng’ayitawo.
Wherefore he ranne before, and climed vp into a wilde figge tree, that he might see him: for he should come that way.
5 Yesu bwe yatuuka awo n’atunula waggulu, n’amuyita nti, “Zaakayo! Yanguwa okke wansi! Kubanga olwa leero ŋŋenda kuba mugenyi wo mu maka go.”
And when Iesus came to the place, he looked vp, and saw him, and said vnto him, Zaccheus, come downe at once: for to day I must abide at thine house.
6 Awo Zaakayo n’akka mangu okuva ku muti n’atwala Yesu mu nnyumba ye ng’ajjudde essanyu.
Then he came downe hastily, and receiued him ioyfully.
7 Abantu bonna abaakiraba ne batandika okwemulugunya nga bagamba nti, “Agenze okukyalira omuntu alina ebibi.”
And when all they sawe it, they murmured, saying, that hee was gone in to lodge with a sinfull man.
8 Awo Zaakayo n’ayimirira n’agamba Mukama waffe nti, “Mukama wange! Mpuliriza! Ebintu byange nnaabigabanyaamu wakati, ekitundu ne nkiwa abaavu; era obanga waliwo omuntu gwe nnali ndyazaamaanyizza, nnaamuliyira emirundi ena.”
And Zaccheus stood forth, and said vnto the Lord, Beholde, Lord, the halfe of my goods I giue to the poore: and if I haue taken from any man by forged cauillation, I restore him foure folde.
9 Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Olwa leero obulokozi buzze mu nnyumba muno, kubanga omusajja ono naye muzzukulu wa Ibulayimu.
Then Iesus said to him, This day is saluation come vnto this house, forasmuch as hee is also become the sonne of Abraham.
10 Kubanga Omwana w’Omuntu, yajjirira kunoonya n’okulokola abaabula.”
For the Sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost.
11 Awo nga bakyawuliriza ebyo, Yesu n’abagerera olugero olulala. Mu kiseera ebyo yali asemberedde nnyo Yerusaalemi, era abantu ne balowooza nti obwakabaka bwa Katonda bugenda kutandika mu kiseera ekyo.
And whiles they heard these thinges, hee continued and spake a parable, because hee was neere to Hierusalem, and because also they thought that the kingdom of God should shortly appeare.
12 N’abagamba nti, “Waaliwo omukungu omu eyalaga mu nsi ey’ewala alye obwakabaka alyoke akomewo.
He saide therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and so to come againe.
13 Bwe yali asitula n’ayita abaddu be kkumi n’abalekera minakkumi n’abagamba nti, ‘Muzisuubuzise okutuusa lwe ndidda.’
And he called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pieces of money, and sayd vnto them, Occupie till I come.
14 “Naye abantu be baali tebamwagala ne batuma ababaka baabwe mu nsi gye yalaga, nga bagamba nti, ‘Ffe tetwagala musajja ono kubeera kabaka waffe.’
Nowe his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not haue this man to reigne ouer vs.
15 “Naye n’afuulibwa kabaka, n’addayo mu kitundu ky’ewaabwe. Bwe yatuuka n’ayita abaddu be, be yali alekedde ensimbi, bamutegeeze amagoba ge baggyamu.
And it came to passe, when hee was come againe, and had receiued his kingdome, that he commanded the seruants to be called to him, to whome he gaue his money, that he might knowe what euery man had gained.
16 “Eyasooka n’ajja n’agamba nti, ‘Ssebo, mina gye wandekera navisaamu mina kkumi.’
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased ten pieces.
17 “Mukama we n’amwebaza, n’amugamba nti, ‘Oli muddu mulungi nnyo. Kubanga obadde mwesigwa mu kintu ekitono ennyo, nkuwadde okufuga ebibuga kkumi.’
And he sayd vnto him, Well, good seruant: because thou hast bene faithfull in a very litle thing, take thou authoritie ouer ten cities.
18 “Omuddu owookubiri n’ajja, n’agamba mukama we nti, ‘Ssebo, mina gye wandekera navisaamu mina ttaano.’
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased fiue pieces.
19 “Oyo naye n’amugamba nti, ‘Onoofuga ebibuga bitaano.’
And to the same he sayd, Be thou also ruler ouer fiue cities.
20 “Awo omuddu omulala n’ajja, n’agamba mukama we nti, ‘Mina gye wandekera yiino, nagitereka bulungi.
So the other came, and sayd, Lord, beholde thy piece, which I haue laide vp in a napkin:
21 Nakutya, kuba, nga bw’oli omuntu omukakanyavu, otwala ebitali bibyo, n’okungula n’ebibala by’otaasiga.’
For I feared thee, because thou art a straight man: thou takest vp, that thou layedst not downe, and reapest that thou diddest not sowe.
22 “Mukama we n’amuddamu nti, ‘Oli musajja mubi nnyo! Nzija kukusalira omusango ng’ebigambo byo by’oyogedde bwe biri. Wamanya nga ndi muntu mukalubo, nga ntwala ebitali byange, era nga nkungula bye saasiga,
Then he sayde vnto him, Of thine owne mouth will I iudge thee, O euill seruant. Thou knewest that I am a straight man, taking vp that I layd not downe, and reaping that I did not sowe.
23 kale, lwaki ensimbi zange tewazissa mu banka, bwe nandikomyewo nandizisanzeeyo nga zizadde n’amagoba?’
Wherefore then gauest not thou my money into the banke, that at my coming I might haue required it with vantage?
24 “N’alyoka agamba abaali bayimiridde awo nti, ‘Mumuggyeeko mina eyo mugiwe oli alina ekkumi.’
And he sayd to them that stoode by, Take from him that piece, and giue it him that hath ten pieces.
25 “Ne bamugamba nti, ‘Naye ssebo, oli alina mina kkumi!’
(And they sayd vnto him, Lord, hee hath ten pieces.)
26 “N’abaddamu nti, ‘Mbagamba nti oyo yenna alina, alyongerwako; ate oyo atalina, n’akatono k’alina kalimuggibwako.
For I say vnto you, that vnto all them that haue, it shalbe giuen: and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken from him.
27 Kaakano njagala abo bonna abalabe bange, abaajeema nga tebaagala mbeere kabaka waabwe, mubandeetere wano, mubattire mu maaso gange.’”
Moreouer, those mine enemies, which would not that I should reigne ouer them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 Awo Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebigambo ebyo, n’atambula ng’akulembedde abayigirizwa be okwolekera Yerusaalemi.
And when he had thus spoken, he went forth before, ascending vp to Hierusalem.
29 Bwe yali asemberera ebibuga Besufaage ne Besaniya ng’ali ku lusozi oluyitibwa olwa Zeyituuni, n’atuma abayigirizwa be babiri n’abagamba nti,
And it came to passe, when hee was come neere to Bethphage, and Bethania, besides the mount which is called the mount of Oliues, he sent two of his disciples,
30 “Mugende mu kabuga akatuli mu maaso bwe munaaba mwakakayingira, munaalaba omwana gw’endogoyi, oguteebagalwangako, nga gusibiddwa awo. Mugusumulule, muguleete wano.
Saying, Goe ye to the towne which is before you, wherein, assoone as ye are come, ye shall finde a colte tied, whereon neuer man sate: loose him, and bring him hither.
31 Singa wabaawo ababuuza nti, ‘Lwaki mugusumulula?’ Mumuddamu nti, ‘Mukama waffe agwetaaga.’”
And if any man aske you, why ye loose him, thus shall ye say vnto him, Because the Lord hath neede of him.
32 Awo abaatumibwa ne bagenda ne basanga omwana gw’endogoyi nga Yesu bwe yabagamba.
So they that were sent, went their way, and found it as he had sayd vnto them.
33 Era bwe baali nga bagusumulula bannannyini gwo ne bababuuza nti, “Lwaki musumulula omwana gw’endogoyi ogwo?”
And as they were loosing the colte, the owners thereof sayd vnto them, Why loose ye the colte?
34 Ne baddamu nti, “Mukama waffe agwetaaga.”
And they sayd, The Lord hath neede of him.
35 Omwana gw’endogoyi ne baguleeta eri Yesu, ne bagwaliirako eminagiro gyabwe, Yesu n’agwebagala.
So they brought him to Iesus, and they cast their garments on the colte, and set Iesus thereon.
36 Bwe yali ng’agenda, abantu ne baaliira ebyambalo byabwe mu luguudo.
And as he went, they spred their clothes in the way.
37 Awo bwe yatuuka oluguudo we luserengetera olusozi olwa Zeyituuni, ekibiina kyonna eky’abayigirizwa, ne batandika okutendereza Katonda, mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka olw’ebyamagero bye yali akoze nga boogera nti,
And when he was nowe come neere to the going downe of the mount of Oliues, the whole multitude of the disciples began to reioyce, and to prayse God with a loude voyce, for all the great workes that they had seene,
38 “Aweereddwa omukisa Kabaka ajja mu linnya lya Mukama!” “Emirembe gibe mu ggulu, n’ekitiibwa kibeere waggulu ennyo!”
Saying, Blessed be the King that commeth in the Name of the Lord: peace in heauen, and glory in the highest places.
39 Naye abamu ku Bafalisaayo abaali mu kibiina ne bagamba Yesu nti, “Omuyigiriza, lagira abayigirizwa bo basirike!”
Then some of the Pharises of the companie sayd vnto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mbategeeza nti ssinga bo basirika, amayinja gano ganaaleekaana!”
But he answered, and sayd vnto them, I tell you, that if these should holde their peace, the stones would crie.
41 Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’asemberera ekibuga Yerusaalemi, bwe yakirengera, n’akikaabira.
And when he was come neere, he behelde the Citie, and wept for it,
42 N’agamba nti, “Singa otegedde leero ebireeta emirembe ebyakulagirwa! Naye kaakano bikukwekeddwa, amaaso go tegayinza kubiraba.
Saying, O if thou haddest euen knowen at the least in this thy day those things, which belong vnto thy peace! but nowe are they hid from thine eyes.
43 Ekiseera kigenda kutuuka abalabe bo lwe balikuzimbako ekigo okukwetooloola ne bakuzinda,
For the dayes shall come vpon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compasse thee round, and keepe thee in on euery side,
44 ne bakumerengulira ku ttaka munda mu bisenge byo ggwe n’abaana bo. Abalabe bo tebalirekawo jjinja na limu nga litudde ku linnaalyo, kubanga omukisa Katonda gwe yakuwa ogw’okulokolebwa wagaana okugukozesa.”
And shall make thee euen with ye ground, and thy children which are in thee, and they shall not leaue in thee a stone vpon a stone, because thou knewest not that season of thy visitation.
45 Awo Yesu n’ayingira mu Yeekaalu n’agobamu abaali batundiramu.
He went also into the Temple, and began to cast out them that solde therein, and them that bought,
46 N’abagamba nti, “Kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Ennyumba yange eneebanga ya kusinzizangamu,’ naye mmwe mugifudde ‘empuku y’abanyazi.’”
Saying vnto them, It is written, Mine house is the house of prayer, but ye haue made it a denne of theeues.
47 Okuva mu kiseera ekyo Yesu n’ayigirizanga mu Yeekaalu buli lunaku. Naye bakabona abakulu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka, n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne bagezaako okufuna akaagaanya we banaamuttira.
And he taught dayly in the Temple. And the hie Priests and the Scribes, and the chiefe of the people sought to destroy him.
48 Naye ne balemwa kubanga abantu bonna baamussaako nnyo omwoyo nga bamuwuliriza.
But they could not finde what they might doe to him: for all the people hanged vpon him when they heard him.
