Zaakayo Omusolooza w’Omusolo
119:1 Luk 18:35Awo Yesu n’atuuka mu kibuga Yeriko, n’ayitamu. 2Mu kibuga omwo mwalimu omusajja erinnya lye Zaakayo; yali mukulu wa bawooza, era yali mugagga nnyo. 3N’afuba okulaba Yesu, naye n’atasobola ng’ali mu kibiina ky’abantu kubanga yali mumpi. 419:4 a 1Bk 10:27; 1By 27:28; Is 9:10 b Luk 18:37Kyeyava adduka ne yeesooka ekibiina mu maaso, n’alinnya omuti omusukamooli asobole okulaba Yesu ng’ayitawo.
5Yesu bwe yatuuka awo n’atunula waggulu, n’amuyita nti, “Zaakayo! Yanguwa okke wansi! Kubanga olwa leero ŋŋenda kuba mugenyi wo mu maka go.” 6Awo Zaakayo n’akka mangu okuva ku muti n’atwala Yesu mu nnyumba ye ng’ajjudde essanyu.
719:7 Mat 9:11Abantu bonna abaakiraba ne batandika okwemulugunya nga bagamba nti, “Agenze okukyalira omuntu alina ebibi.”
819:8 a Luk 7:13 b Luk 3:12, 13 c Kuv 22:1; Lv 6:4, 5; Kbl 5:7; 2Sa 12:6Awo 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.”
919:9 Luk 3:8; 13:16; Bar 4:16; Bag 3:7Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Olwa leero obulokozi buzze mu nnyumba muno, kubanga omusajja ono naye muzzukulu wa Ibulayimu. 1019:10 Ez 34:12, 16; Yk 3:17Kubanga Omwana w’Omuntu, yajjirira kunoonya n’okulokola abaabula.”
Olugero lw’Ensimbi
1119:11 a Mat 3:2 b Luk 17:20; Bik 1:6Awo 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. 12N’abagamba nti, “Waaliwo omukungu omu eyalaga mu nsi ey’ewala alye obwakabaka alyoke akomewo. 1319:13 Mak 13:34Bwe yali asitula n’ayita abaddu be kkumi n’abalekera mina19:13 Mina ye yali empeera eyaweebwanga omukozi oluvannyuma lw’emyezi esatu kkumi n’abagamba nti, ‘Muzisuubuzise okutuusa lwe ndidda.’
14“Naye abantu be baali tebamwagala ne batuma ababaka baabwe mu nsi gye yalaga, nga bagamba nti, ‘Ffe tetwagala musajja ono kubeera kabaka waffe.’
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.
16“Eyasooka n’ajja n’agamba nti, ‘Ssebo, mina gye wandekera navisaamu mina kkumi.’
1719:17 a Nge 27:18 b Luk 16:10“Mukama we n’amwebaza, n’amugamba nti, ‘Oli muddu mulungi nnyo. Kubanga obadde mwesigwa mu kintu ekitono ennyo, nkuwadde okufuga ebibuga kkumi.’
18“Omuddu owookubiri n’ajja, n’agamba mukama we nti, ‘Ssebo, mina gye wandekera navisaamu mina ttaano.’
19“Oyo naye n’amugamba nti, ‘Onoofuga ebibuga bitaano.’
20“Awo omuddu omulala n’ajja, n’agamba mukama we nti, ‘Mina gye wandekera yiino, nagitereka bulungi. 2119:21 Mat 25:24Nakutya, kuba, nga bw’oli omuntu omukakanyavu, otwala ebitali bibyo, n’okungula n’ebibala by’otaasiga.’
2219:22 a 2Sa 1:16; Yob 15:6 b Mat 25:26“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, 23kale, lwaki ensimbi zange tewazissa mu banka, bwe nandikomyewo nandizisanzeeyo nga zizadde n’amagoba?’
24“N’alyoka agamba abaali bayimiridde awo nti, ‘Mumuggyeeko mina eyo mugiwe oli alina ekkumi.’
25“Ne bamugamba nti, ‘Naye ssebo, oli alina mina kkumi!’
2619:26 Mat 13:12; 25:29; Luk 8:18“N’abaddamu nti, ‘Mbagamba nti oyo yenna alina, alyongerwako; ate oyo atalina, n’akatono k’alina kalimuggibwako. 27Kaakano njagala abo bonna abalabe bange, abaajeema nga tebaagala mbeere kabaka waabwe, mubandeetere wano, mubattire mu maaso gange.’ ”
Yesu Ayingira mu Yerusaalemi n’Ekitiibwa
2819:28 Mak 10:32; Luk 9:51Awo Yesu bwe yamala okwogera ebigambo ebyo, n’atambula ng’akulembedde abayigirizwa be okwolekera Yerusaalemi. 2919:29 a Mat 21:17 b Mat 21:1Bwe yali asemberera ebibuga Besufaage ne Besaniya ng’ali ku lusozi oluyitibwa olwa Zeyituuni, n’atuma abayigirizwa be babiri n’abagamba nti, 30“Mugende mu kabuga akatuli mu maaso bwe munaaba mwakakayingira, munaalaba omwana gw’endogoyi, oguteebagalwangako, nga gusibiddwa awo. Mugusumulule, muguleete wano. 31Singa wabaawo ababuuza nti, ‘Lwaki mugusumulula?’ Mumuddamu nti, ‘Mukama waffe agwetaaga.’ ”
3219:32 Luk 22:13Awo abaatumibwa ne bagenda ne basanga omwana gw’endogoyi nga Yesu bwe yabagamba. 33Era bwe baali nga bagusumulula bannannyini gwo ne bababuuza nti, “Lwaki musumulula omwana gw’endogoyi ogwo?”
34Ne baddamu nti, “Mukama waffe agwetaaga.”
35Omwana gw’endogoyi ne baguleeta eri Yesu, ne bagwaliirako eminagiro gyabwe, Yesu n’agwebagala. 3619:36 2Bk 9:13Bwe yali ng’agenda, abantu ne baaliira ebyambalo byabwe mu luguudo.
3719:37 Mat 21:1Awo 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,
3819:38 a Zab 118:26; Luk 13:35 b Luk 2:14“Aweereddwa omukisa Kabaka ajja mu linnya lya Mukama!”
“Emirembe gibe mu ggulu, n’ekitiibwa kibeere waggulu ennyo!”
3919:39 Mat 21:15, 16Naye abamu ku Bafalisaayo abaali mu kibiina ne bagamba Yesu nti, “Omuyigiriza, lagira abayigirizwa bo basirike!”
4019:40 Kbk 2:11Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mbategeeza nti ssinga bo basirika, amayinja gano ganaaleekaana!”
Yesu Akaabira Yerusaalemi
4119:41 Is 22:4; Luk 13:34, 35Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’asemberera ekibuga Yerusaalemi, bwe yakirengera, n’akikaabira. 42N’agamba nti, “Singa otegedde leero ebireeta emirembe ebyakulagirwa! Naye kaakano bikukwekeddwa, amaaso go tegayinza kubiraba. 4319:43 Is 29:3; Yer 6:6; Ez 4:2; 26:8; Luk 21:20Ekiseera kigenda kutuuka abalabe bo lwe balikuzimbako ekigo okukwetooloola ne bakuzinda, 4419:44 a Zab 137:9 b Mat 24:2; Mak 13:2; Luk 21:6 c 1Pe 2:12ne 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.”
Yesu mu Yeekaalu
45Awo Yesu n’ayingira mu Yeekaalu n’agobamu abaali batundiramu. 4619:46 a Is 56:7 b Yer 7:11N’abagamba nti, “Kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Ennyumba yange eneebanga ya kusinzizangamu,’ naye mmwe mugifudde ‘empuku y’abanyazi.’ ”
4719:47 a Mat 26:55 b Mat 12:14; Mak 11:18Okuva 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. 48Naye ne balemwa kubanga abantu bonna baamussaako nnyo omwoyo nga bamuwuliriza.
1And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 3And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 5And 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. 6And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 7And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. 8And 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. 9And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. 11And 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. 12He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. 14But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15And 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. 16Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22And 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: 23Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 24And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26For 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. 27But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28¶ And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 29And 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, 30Saying, 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. 31And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 32And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 33And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 35And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 36And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. 37And 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; 38Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41¶ And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42Saying, 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. 43For 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, 44And 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. 45And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 47And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, 48And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
