1Awo oYesu nʼabeyabbaire nabo ni baingira omu kibuga e Yeriko, era nga babita nzira. 2Omu kibuga oomwo mwabbairemu omusaiza eriinalye bati Zaakayo eyabbaire omukulu wʼabasolooji ba musolo era nga musuni. 3Omusaiza oyo yatakire okumanyica oYesu, neye olwʼobumpibwe nandi nʼayezya okumubona olwʼekiyindi kyʼabantu. 4Kale nʼairuka nʼasaliza omu maiso oYesu egiyabbaire alungama, kaisi era nʼaniina oku musaale omusikamooli, ayezye okubona oYesu.

5OYesu oweyatuukirewo, nʼalola e ngulu oku kisaale, kaisi nʼamukoba ati, “Zaakayo, oniinuke mangu olwakubba olwatyanu nteekwa okubba mugeniwo.” 6Kale oZaakayo nʼaniinukirawo, era nʼayaniriza oYesu e ika nʼeisangaalo.

7Awo, abantu owebaboine ngʼoYesu ayabireyo, bonabona ni batandiika okwezuluguma nga bakoba bati, “Ayabire kucaala wʼoodi akola ebibbibibbi.”

8Neye oluzwanyuma oku lunaku oolwo oZaakayo nʼayemerera, nʼakoba oMusengwa ati, “Musengwa, aale atyanu ndi kugabulamu akati ebintu byange, kaisi ekitundu ekimo nkigabire abadoobi. Era obanga waliwo ogunalyakire, nʼamwiriryawo emirundi eena.”

9Awo oYesu nʼakoba ati, “Olwatyanu obulokole bwingiire omu nyumba munu olwakubba onu onyere aanu yena mwizukulu wa Ibbulaimu. 10Kaisi era nʼoMwana wa Muntu yaizire kunoonia nʼokulokola baabo ababbaire bagotere.”*

11Awo nga bali kuwulira ebyo, oYesu ni yeeyongera na bagerera olugero olwakubba yabbaire kumpi nʼe Yerusaalemi, era egibabbaire baseega bati obwakabaka bwa Kibbumba bwabbaire bwa kubbaawo nga yankatuukayo. 12Kagira yabagereire ati, “Wabbairewo omuntu owʼekitiisya eyaabire omu kyalo ekyʼe yala okumusuuca okabaka, kaisi aire. 13Kale nʼayetaku abagalamabe ikumi, kaisi nʼawa buli muntu empiiya egibeeta bati mina.* moiza moiza, nʼabakoba ati, ‘Musuubuulenge omu mpiiya ginu paka owenaliira.’

14“Neye abʼomu kyalokye babbaire tibamutaka era ni batuma abakwenda okumusenjaaku baabe eedi egiyabbaire ayaba, bakobe bati, ‘Titutaka oyo okubba kabaka waiswe.’

15“Neye iye era oweyatuukire eedi, bamusuucirye kabaka era nʼaira. Kale awo oweyairire nʼalagira okumwetera abagalama badi abeyabbaire awaire empiiya, abone amagoba agebabbaire basuniremu.

16“Eyasookere yaizire nʼakoba ati, ‘Musengwa, empiiyagyo, gireetere amagoba gʼemina ikumi.’

17“Kale nʼamukoba ati, ‘Weebale ino iwe omugalama omusa. Ngʼowewabbaire omwesigwa omu kintu ekityai kinu, nkuwaire obwezye okufuga ebibuga ikumi.’

18“Awo owokubiri nʼaiza, nʼakoba ati, ‘Musengwa, empiiyagyo gireetere amagoba gʼemina itaanu.’

19“Kale oMusengwawe nʼamukoba ati, ‘Iwe nkuwaire okufuga ebibuga bitaanu.’

20“Awo omugalama ogondi nʼaiza, iye nʼakoba ati, ‘Musengwa, empiiyagyo nginu, era nʼagibisire kusani nga mbiringe omu kiwero. 21Nakolere ntyo olwakubba nakutiire engeri egyoli omuntu omugosi. Iwe otwala nʼekinandi notaganira, era oli ooti mulimi akesa ekinandi nʼasiga.’

22“Kale omusengwawe nʼamukoba ati, ‘Iwe omugalama akola ebibbibibbi, njaba kusinzirira ku byotumwire okukusalira omusango. Mbona ngʼomaite, aale tiwamaite oti ndi muntu mugosi, atwala nʼekinandi ni ntaganira, era akungula nʼekinandi ni nsiga? 23Aale kale lwaki empiiya gyange tiwagikoopere abasuubuuzi, kaisi nze nga njirire ni ngisyomayo nga kuliku nʼamagoba?’

24“Kale nʼakoba ababbaire beemereire aawo ati, ‘Mumutooleku emina eyo egyali nayo, mugiwe oodi aali nʼemina gidi eikumi.’ 25Neye ibo ni bamukoba bati, ‘Musengwa, oodi iye aali nagyo egindi ikumi mbeereri!’

26“Awo omusengwa waabwe nʼairamu ati, ‘Mbakobera nti buli aali nabyo balimwongeraku nʼebindi, kaisi oyo abula, balimutoolaku nʼakatyayi kadi akebalibba bamuwaire.* 27Kale atyanu abalabe bange ibo etibantakiirye okusuuka kabaka waabwe, mubaleete aanu, era mubaite nga mbona.’ ”

28Awo oYesu oweyamalire okutumula ebyo, ni yeeyongerayo nʼayaba paka e Yerusaalemi. 29Awo, oweyabbaire ngʼali kumpi okutuuka e Bbesufaage nʼe Bbesaniya, ebiri oku lusozi olubeeta oLusozi olwʼeMisaale eMizaituuni, nʼatuma babiri oku beegibe ngʼabakoba ati 30“Mwabe omu kitundu ekyo ekiri omu maiso aawo era owemwabba mwankaingira muti, mwabona ompunda omutomuto ogubatatyamangaku ogubasibire awo. Mumuteere era mumuleete aanu. 31Owewabbaawo ababuulya ati, ‘Lwaki mumuteera?’ Mwamwiramu muti, ‘OMusengwa niiye amwetaaga.’ ”

32Awo abebatumire ni baaba, era ni bamwajirya ngʼoweyabbaire ababakobere. 33Kale owebabbaire nga bateera ompunda, abananyere ni bababuulya bati, “Inywe, lwaki muteera ompunda oyo?”

34Ibo ni bairamu bati, “OMusengwa niiye amutaka.” 35Awo ni bamuleetera oMusengwa oYesu, era owebamutuucirye ni bamwalaku ebizibaawo byabwe, kaisi ni baniinisyaku oYesu ayabireku. 36Abantu baabanga baala omu nzira ebizwalo byabwe oYesu ngʼabitaku ngʼali oku mpunda.

37Awo oweyabbaire ngʼayatira okuserengeta okuzwa oku lusozi olwʼemisaale emizaituuni, ekiyindi kyonakyona ekyʼabeegibe ni kitandiika okuwuuja oKibbumba nʼeigono eryʼamaani nʼeisangaalo olwʼebyewunyo byonabyona ebibabbaire baboine.

38Bembanga bati, “Wʼenkabi okabaka oyo aiza omu liina lya Musengwa oKibbumba!

39Neye abamo oku Bafalisaayo ababbaire omu kiyindi ni bakoba oYesu bati, “Musomesya, okaawukire abeegibo basirike.” 40OYesu nʼairamu ati, “Mbakobera nti singa banu basirika, amabbaale igo gaceera.”

41Awo oYesu oweyabbaire ngʼali kumpi nʼekibuga kyʼe Yerusaalemi era ngʼakirengera, nʼakunga olwʼabantu baayo, 42ngʼakoba ati, “Aale inywe nywena abantu bʼe Yerusaalemi singa kadi luceire nga mumanyicirye ekyo ekyezya okubaleetera eidembe! Neye paka atyanu kibebisireku. 43Ekiseera kyalituuka abalabe baanywe ni babasitaku olukita, kaisi ni babeeruguulirirya era ni babaziga okuzwera buli wantu. 44Balibamalirawo nakimo era paka nʼabaana baanywe. Era mpaawo eibbaale kadi limo eryalisigala nga lyombeke oku liinaye, olwakubba timwamanyicirye ekiseera oKibbumba ekiyaiziireemu okubalokola.”

45Kale oYesu oweyatuukire, nʼaingira omu luuga lwʼeYeekaalu era nʼatandiika okubbingamu ababbaire batundiramu ebintu. 46Yabakobere ati, “Bakiwandiikire bati, ‘Enyumba yange yaabbanga nyumba ya kusabiramu, neye inywe mugisuucirye mpuku yʼabanyagi omu beebisa.’ ”*

47Oluzwanyuma lwʼebyo, buli lunaku oYesu yayegesyanga omu Yeekaalu. Neye abakabona abakulu nʼabakugu omu byʼaMateeka ga Musa, nʼabantu abakulu abandi omwigwanga, nga bagezyaku okusala amalabuki gʼokumwita.* 48Cooka tibasunirewo engeri yonayona, olwakubba abantu badi abandi bonabona babbaire bamweruguulirirye nga bamuwulisisya ino nʼeiganyi.
