Luka 19
1 Yesu walengila mu Yeliko, nekupitilila.
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 Mu Yeliko mopelomo mwalikuba muntu wali kukwiweti Zakeyo. Walikuba shikusonkesha misonko mukulene, kayi walikuba mubile.
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the tax collectors, and he was rich.
3 Walikuyandishisha kubona Yesu ncabele nomba walikuba mufupi, walalilwa kumubona pakwinga bantu balafulisha.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
4 Neco walafwambila kuntangu ne kutanta mu citondo ca mukuyu kwambeti amubone, pakwinga Yesu empalikupitila popelapo.
And he ran before, and climbed up upon a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 Yesu mpwalashika pamusenapo walalanga kwilu nekumwambileti, “Zakeyo, fwambana seluka pakwinga ndelela kuya kwikala kung'anda yakobe lelo.”
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 thy house.
6 Lino Zakeyo walaseluka cakufwambana nekutambula Yesu mwakukondwa.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Lino bantu bonse balabonako, balatatika kudandaula ne kwambeti, “Kamubonani muntu uyu lenga kwikala kung'anda ya muntu mwipishi.”
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 Nomba Zakeyo walanyamuka nekwambila Mwami eti, “Mwami, kamubonani, ninkape buboni bwakame kupa bapenshi. Na ndalamanta kantu kumuntu munshila yabula kwelela, ndimubweshele mankanda ana.”
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 walamwambileti, “Lelo kupuluka kulesa mung'anda ino, pakwinga muntu uyu neye nimwanendi Abulahamu.
And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Neco Mwana Muntu walesa kuyandaula nekupulusha bataika.”
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 Bantu kabacinyumfwa mbyalikwamba Yesu, walapitilisha kayi kubambila mukoshano pakwinga balashika pepi ku Yelusalemu. Nomba bantu bali kabayeyeti Bwami bwa Lesa buli pepi kwisa.
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 Lino walambeti, “Kwalikuba muntu, walikuba walemekwa uyo walaya kucishi ca kutali kuya kupewa bwami nekubwelela kayi.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Katanaya walakuwa basebenshi bakendi nekupa mali a golide likumi ku musebenshi umo ne umo” Nekubambileti, “kamwinsanga makwebo mpaka nkabwele.”
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till I come.
14 Lino bantu mbwalikwikala nabo mucishi umo nkabali kumuyanda, neco balatuma ntumwi kuya kucishico akwambeti, “Afwe nkatulayandanga muntu uyo kuba mwami wetu.”
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 “Necikabeco muntu uyo walaya kupewa bwami busa, lino mpwalabwela kwabo, walakuwa basebenshi bakendi abo mbwalapa mali kwambeti, bamwambile bwili mbwacanapo umo ne umo.”
And it came to pass, that when he had 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 Lino musebenshi mutanshi walesa walambeti, “Nkambo pamali ngomwalampa ndacaninipo bwili bwa mali ali likumi.”
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 Lino mwami wakendi walamwambileti, “Ulenshi cena, Omusebenshi waina! Pakwinga walashomeka mubintu bing'ana nube weshikwendelesha minshi ili likumi.”
And he said to him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 Neye musebenshi wabubili walesa walambeti, “Mwami pamali asanu ngomwalampa ndacaninipo bwili bwa mali ali asanu.”
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 Mwami walamwambileti, “Obe nube weshikwendelesha minshi isanu.”
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 Lino musebenshi naumbi walesa walambeti, “Mwami, mali enu ndalasunga pakakwisa.
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21 Ndalatina pakwinga mobakalu, mukute kutambula byabula byenu nekutebula mbyomwabula kubyala.”
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
22 Mwami wakendi walakumbuleti, “Obe musebenshi waipa! Lino ninkutoteke kwelana ne maswi ngolamba. Ucishi kwambeti ndemukalu, nkute kumanta byabula byakame nekutebula mpondabula kubyala.
And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:
23 Nomba uliya kubikila cani ku banki mali akame, kwambeti pakubwelela ncane bwili?”
Why then gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest?
24 “Lino walambila balikubapo eti, ‘Mulamuneni mali ayo mupe ukute mali likumi.’
And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25 Balo balambeti, ‘Mwami, uyo ukute kendi mali ali likumi.’
( And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 Nsombi mwami walakumbuleti, ndamwambilinga ukute kantu nakabikilwepo nabimbi, nsombi uyo ukute kang'ana nibakamunyongomone nako konse kankute.
For I say to you, That to every one who hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 Lino balwani bakame abo bali kuyandeti ame ntaba mwami wabo, kamubaleta kuno mubashine kambonako!”
But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay them before me.
28 Yesu mpwalapwisha kwambeco, walabatangunina kuya ku Yelusalemu.
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Mpwalashika pepi ne minshi ya Betifagi ne Betaniya pepi ne mulundu wa maolifi walatuma beshikwiya bakendi babili,
And it came to pass, when he had come near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 Nekubambileti, “Kamuyani mumunshi usa ngomulabononga. Mwashika, nimucane mwana wambongolo kali wasungwa uyo utana utantwapo kendi ne bantu, muye mumusungulule, mumulete kuno.
Saying, Go ye into the village opposite you; in which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him here.
31 Na umbi muntu amwipusheti, ‘Mulamusungulilinga cani’ Mumwambileti, ‘Mwami ukute nendi incito.’”
And if any man shall ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 Nicakubinga beshikwiya babili basa balaya kucana mbuli ncalabamba Yesu.
And they that were sent went, and found even as he had said to them.
33 Mpobali kusungulula mbongolo, bene balepusheti, “Nomba mulamusungulwilinga cani?”
And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 Nabo balakumbuleti, “Mwami ukute nendi incito.”
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 Lino balatwala mbongolo kuli Yesu, nekutatika kuyansa byakufwala byabo pelu nekumutantikapo Yesu.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus on it.
36 Lino Yesu mpwalikuya kali watanta mbongolo, bantu balayansa byakufwala byabo munshila kulesha bulemu kulyendiye.
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 Mpwalashika pepi neku Yelusalemu mwinshi mwa mulundu wa maolifi, likoto linene lya beshikwiya bali kabamukonkela balatatika kukondwa. Kayi balumbaisha Lesa ne maswi a pelu pacebo ca incito ya ngofu njobalabona.
And when he had 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 Balambeti, “Walelekwa Mwami uyo lesanga mulina lya Lesa. Lumuno kwilu ne bulemu bube kuli Lesa.”
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 Lino Bafalisi nabambi balikuba mulikoto balambila Yesu eti, “Bashikwiyisha, kamwambilani beshikwiya benu bamwene.”
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Ndamwambilinga na aba bamwene, mabwe nawo nawolobeshe.”
And he answered and said to them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 Lino Yesu mpwalashika pepi nekubona Yelusalemu, walalila.
And when he had come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 Walambeti, “Na obe newalenshiba lelo, bintu byeshikuleta lumuno! Nsombi nkobishi pakwinga menso akobe nkela kubibona.
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong to thy peace! but now they are hid from thy eyes.
43 Necikabeco nicikashike cindi balwani bakobe mpoti bakakushinguluke nekukushinkila konse konse.
For the days shall come upon thee, that thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and surround thee, and keep thee in on every side,
44 Nibakakumwayaule nekushina bantu bakobe bonse. Nteshi bakashiye libwe pelu palinendi, pakwinga uliyawa kwishiba cindi Lesa ncalesa akukupulusha.”
And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45 Yesu walengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa nekutatika kutandanyamo abo bali kabolisha mukati mulubuwa lwa Ng'anda ya Lesa,
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought;
46 walabambileti, “Calembwa Mumabala a Lesa kwambeti, ‘Ng'anda yakame nikakwiweti Ng'anda yakupaililamo.’ Nsombi amwe mulaisandulu kuba ng'anda mwakuyubila bakapondo!”
Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
47 Lino Yesu walikeyisha lyonse mu Ng'anda ya Lesa. Nomba bamakulene beshimilumbo, beshikwiyisha Milawo ne batangunishi ba Bayuda balikuyanda kumushina,
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 Lino balabula cakwinsa pakwinga bantu bonse balikuba nendi cindi conse kwambeti banyumfwe maswi akendi.
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
