Luuka 19
1 uYesu akingila na kukila pakate pa Yeliko.
And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.
2 apuo pealyale umuunhu juno atambuluagha Sakayi. juno alyale m'baha ghwa vasongesia songo kange muunhu ghwa vumofu.
And, behold, [there was] a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 alyale ighela kukumwagha uYesu kuuti mwana ghwa ndani, neke akakunua kukumwagha ulwakuva alyale mfupi kange pe likale ilipugha lwa vaanhu.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4 pepano akalongola luvilo kuvulongolo ku vaanhu, akatogha kukyanya mu n'kuju kuuti amwaghe, ulwakuva uYesu alyale pipi pikila isila ijio
And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that [way].
5 un'siki ghuno uYesu afikile pala, akalola kukyanya akam'bula akati, “Sakayi ika ng'haani ng'haani, ulwakuva umusyughu lunoghile kulinda ku nyumba jako”
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 akavomba ng'haani ng'haani, akika na kumwambilila ku lukeelo.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 avaanhu vooni vakatile vaghaghile aghuo vaking'ulasya vakati, 'alutile kukumughendela umuunhu unya sambi.
And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 uSa'kayi akimile akam'bula uMutwa kuuti, 'loola lubale lwa kyuma kyango nikuvapela avakotofu, kange nave umuunhu ghweni nin'kunyile ikinu, nikun'gomokesia kane'.
And Zacchæus stood, and said unto 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 uYesu akam'bula akati, 'umusyughu uvupoki vufikile mu nyumba iji, ulwakuva umwene kange ghwe mwana ghwa Abulahamu.
And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 lwakuva umwana ghwa muunhu isile kulonda na kupoka avaanhu vano vasovile.
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 ye apulike aghuo, akaghendelile kujova na kuhumia ikihwani, ulwakuva akale pipi na kuYelusalemu, voope vakasaghile kuuti uvutwa vwa Nguluve vulyale pipi kuvoneka ku lwakwasia.
And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 pepano akavavula akati, uNtwa jumonga akalutile ku iisi ija kuvutali kuuti pile uvutwa neke agomoke.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 akavakemhela avavombi vake kijigho, akavapela filundo kijigho akavavula akati, “muvombaghe imbombo ija kufulusia kuhanga pano niligomoka”
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14 neke avaanhu vake vakan'kalalilagha pe pano vakavasung'a avomolua valute vamfuate na kukum'bula kuuti, “natulonda umuunhu uju atulongosie”
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.
15 akatile agomwike ye apelilue uVutwa, akavakemhela avavomvi vala vano akavalekile indalama vakemhelue vake, neke akagule vafulwisie ndani.
And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 ughwa kwanda akisa akati, “Mutwa ikipupa kyako kino ukamhelile kifulyisie ifighavo kijigho,
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 UNtwa jula akam'bula, uvombile vunofu uve uli mb'ombi n'nofu, ulwakuva ghwa kolopalile mu fidebe, nikupela kutema amapulo kijigho.
And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 ughwa vuvili akisa akati, 'Ntwa, ikipupa kyako kifulwisie ifipupa fihaano.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 'UNtwa ujuo akam'bula akati, 'najuve tola uteme amapulo ghahaano.
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 nu junga akisa akati, Ntwa iji apa indalama jako, jino nikapinyile vunono mu kyenda,
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21 ulwakuva nikoghwipe kuuti uve uli muunhu n'kali. ghuvusia kino nu vikile na kupeta kino nukavwalile.
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
22 uNtwa ujuo akam'bula, 'ku masio ghako juve nikukuhigha, uve uli m'bombi m'bivi. ulyakagwile kuuti une nili muunhu m'bivi nitola kino nanivikile na kupeta kino nanikavwalile.
And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, [thou] wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
23 pe, ongo nikavikile indalama jango ku vano vifulusia, nneke kyande nigomwike nitole palikimo na sino sifulwike?
Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
24 uNtwa akam'bula avaanhu valyale vimile apuo, 'mun'kunye ikipupa ikio na kukumpela jula unya fipupa kijigho.
And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.
25 vakam'bula kuuti Ntwa, umwene ali ni filundo kijigho.
(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 nikuvavula, umuunhu ghweni juno alinakyo ipelua kukila, neke juno nsila, kyope kino alinakyo kilipokua.
For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 neke avalugu vango ava, vano navakanoghilue nive mutwa ghwa vanave, mu valete pavulongola apa neke muvabude.
But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.
28 akatile ajovile isio, akaghendelelagha kuluta kuvulongolo akatogha na kuluta ku Yelusalemu.
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 akatile avelelile pa Betigage, pipi nikidunda kya miseituni, akavasung'a avavulanisivua vake vavili.
And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 akajova akati, 'mulutaghe pakikaaja kya pavupipi. mungingile mukujagha inyana ja dogovi najighelile kujangalilwa taasi, mujavulile mujilete kulyune.
Saying, Go ye into the village over against [you]; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring [him hither].
31 nave umuunhu ikuvaposia, 'kiki mukujavula?' mutisaghe, “uNguluve ali nuvufumbue najo.
And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 vala vano akavasung'ile vakaluta vakajagha inyana ja dogovi, ndavule uYesu vuno akavavulile.
And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
33 ye vikujavula inyana ja dogovi, avanyanajo vakav aposia “kiki mukujavula inyana ja dogovi iji?
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 vakavamula vakati,” uMutwa ali nuvufumbue najo”
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 pe vakan'twalila uYesu, vakatandika amheenda ghave pakyanya pa nyana ja dogovi, neke vakan'tosia uYesu pakyanya.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
36 uYesu ye iluta avaanhu valyale vitandika amheenda ghave mu nsevo.
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 akatile ikwika ikidunda kya miseituni ni kipugha kyoni ikya vavulanisivua, vakatengula kukumpaala uNguluve ni lisio ilikome vwimila ifidegho vuno valyavombilue.
And when he was come nigh, 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 vakajova, 'aaghinwaghe u Ntwa juno ikwisa mulitavua lya Mutwa! ulutengano kukyanya, nu vwimike kukyanya.
Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 avafarisayi vamonga mu kipugha vakam'bula vakati, m'bulanisi, vajikisie avavulanisivua vako,
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 uYesu akavamula akati, 'nikuvavula ndeve ava vijigha kimie amavue ghilijova amasio.
And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 UYesu ye alipipi nu mpulo akaghulilila,
And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 akati, nave ghwale ukagule nambe juve, mu kighono iki sino unoghile kuvoma neke uve nulutengano! neke sifisilue pa maaso ghako.
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things [which belong] unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 ulwakuva ifighono fikwisa fino avalugu vako vijenga ililugu pipi nuve, na kukusyuta na kukughindilikisia kyhuma mu mbale sooni.
For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 vikukughwisia paasi uve na vaanha vako. navikulekesia nambe mu livue limo pakyanya ja linge, ulwakuva nukakagwile unsiki ghuno uNguluve alyale ighela kukupoka.
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 uYesu akingila mu nyumba ija kufunyila, akatengula kuvadaga vala vano vakale vighusia,
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
46 akavavula,” jilembilue, inyumba jango jiliva nyumba ja kufunyila, neke umue musyetulinie kuva lipango lya vakunyi”.
Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
47 pe lino uYesu alyale ivulanisia ifighono fyoni ku nyumba ja kufunyila. aatekesi na vavulanisi va ndaghilo na valongosi vavaanhu valyalondile kukum'buda,
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 neke navakakunua kujagha isila ja kuvomba ndikio, ulwakuva avaanhu voni valyale vikumpulikisia vunono.
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
