Luke 19 (BOKCV)

1 Yesu akaingia Yeriko, naye alikuwa anapita katikati ya huo mji. 2 Tazama, palikuwa na mtu mmoja mkuu wa watoza ushuru naye alikuwa tajiri, jina lake Zakayo. 3 Yeye alikuwa akijitahidi kumwona Yesu ni mtu wa namna gani. Lakini kutokana na umati mkubwa wa watu hakuweza kwa sababu alikuwa mfupi wa kimo. 4 Kwa hiyo akatangulia mbio mbele ya umati wa watu akapanda juu ya mkuyu ili amwone Yesu, kwa sababu angeipitia njia ile. 5 Yesu alipofika pale chini ya huo mkuyu, akatazama juu, akamwambia, “Zakayo, shuka upesi, kwa maana leo nitakuwa mgeni nyumbani kwako!” 6 Hivyo Zakayo akashuka upesi, akamkaribisha Yesu nyumbani kwake kwa furaha kubwa. 7 Watu wote walipoona hivyo, wakaanza kunungʼunika wakisema, “Amekwenda kuwa mgeni wa ‘mtu mwenye dhambi.’ ” 8 Lakini Zakayo akasimama na kumwambia Bwana, “Tazama, Bwana! Sasa hivi nusu ya mali yangu ninawapa maskini, nami kama nimemdhulumu mtu yeyote kitu chochote, nitamrudishia mara nne ya hicho kiwango.” 9 Ndipo Yesu akamwambia, “Leo, wokovu umeingia nyumbani humu, kwa sababu huyu naye ni mwana wa Abrahamu. 10 Kwa maana Mwana wa Adamu amekuja kutafuta na kuokoa kile kilichopotea.” 11 Walipokuwa wanasikiliza haya, Yesu akaendelea kuwaambia mfano, kwa sababu alikuwa anakaribia Yerusalemu na watu walikuwa wakidhani ya kuwa Ufalme wa Mungu ulikuwa unakuja saa iyo hiyo. 12 Hivyo akawaambia: “Mtu mmoja mwenye cheo kikubwa alisafiri kwenda nchi ya mbali ili akapokee madaraka ya kuwa mfalme, kisha arudi. 13 Hivyo akawaita kumi miongoni mwa watumishi wake, na akawapa kila mmoja fungu la fedha. Akawaambia, ‘Fanyeni biashara na fedha hizi mpaka nitakaporudi.’ 14 “Lakini raiya wa nchi yake walimchukia wakapeleka ujumbe na kusema, ‘Hatutaki huyu mtu awe mfalme wetu.’ 15 “Hata hivyo alirudi akiwa amekwisha kupokea mamlaka ya ufalme, akawaita wale watumishi wake aliokuwa amewaachia fedha, ili afahamu ni faida kiasi gani kila mmoja wao aliyopata kwa kufanya biashara. 16 “Wa kwanza akaja na kusema, ‘Bwana, kutokana na fedha uliyoniachia, nimepata faida mara kumi zaidi.’ 17 “Yule bwana akamjibu, ‘Umefanya vizuri mtumishi mwema! Kwa sababu umekuwa mwaminifu katika wajibu mdogo sana, nakupa mamlaka juu ya miji kumi.’ 18 “Wa pili naye akaja. Akasema, ‘Bwana, fedha yako imeleta faida mara tano zaidi.’ 19 “Bwana wake akajibu, ‘Nakupa mamlaka juu ya miji mitano.’ 20 “Kisha akaja yule mtumishi mwingine, akasema, ‘Bwana, hii hapa fedha yako. Niliitunza vizuri kwenye kitambaa. 21 Nilikuogopa, kwa sababu wewe ni mtu mgumu. Unachukua ambapo hukuweka kitu, na unavuna mahali ambapo hukupanda kitu.’ 22 “Bwana wake akamjibu, ‘Nitakuhukumu kwa maneno yako mwenyewe, wewe mtumishi mwovu! Kama ulifahamu kwamba mimi ni mtu mgumu, nichukuaye mahali ambapo sikuweka kitu na kuvuna mahali ambapo sikupanda, 23 kwa nini basi hukuweka fedha zangu kwa watoa riba, ili nitakaporudi nichukue iliyo yangu na riba yake?’ 24 “Ndipo akawaambia wale waliokuwa wamesimama karibu, ‘Mnyangʼanyeni fungu lake la fedha, mkampe yule mwenye kumi.’ 25 “Wakamwambia, ‘Bwana, mbona; tayari anayo mafungu kumi!’ 26 “Akawajibu, ‘Nawaambia kwamba kila aliye na kitu, ataongezewa. Lakini yule asiye na kitu, hata alicho nacho atanyangʼanywa. 27 Lakini wale adui zangu ambao hawakutaka mimi niwe mfalme juu yao. Waleteni hapa mkawaue mbele yangu.’ ” 28 Baada ya Yesu kusema haya, alitangulia kupanda kwenda Yerusalemu. 29 Naye alipokaribia Bethfage na Bethania kwenye mlima uitwao Mlima wa Mizeituni, aliwatuma wanafunzi wake wawili, akawaambia, 30 “Nendeni katika kijiji kilichoko mbele yenu. Na mtakapokuwa mnaingia kijijini, mtamkuta mwana-punda amefungwa hapo, ambaye hajapandwa na mtu bado. Mfungueni, mkamlete hapa. 31 Kama mtu akiwauliza, ‘Mbona mnamfungua?’ Mwambieni, ‘Bwana anamhitaji.’ ” 32 Wale waliotumwa wakaenda, wakakuta kila kitu kama vile Yesu alivyokuwa amewaambia. 33 Walipokuwa wanamfungua yule mwana-punda, wenyewe wakawauliza, “Mbona mnamfungua huyo mwana-punda?” 34 Wale wanafunzi wakajibu, “Bwana anamhitaji.” 35 Wakamleta kwa Yesu, nao baada ya kutandika mavazi yao juu ya huyo mwana-punda, wakampandisha Yesu juu yake. 36 Alipokuwa akienda akiwa amempanda, watu wakatandaza mavazi yao barabarani. 37 Alipokaribia mahali yanapoanzia materemko ya Mlima wa Mizeituni, umati wote wa wafuasi wake wakaanza kumsifu Mungu kwa furaha kwa sauti kuu kwa ajili ya matendo yote ya miujiza waliyoyaona. Wakasema: 38 “Amebarikiwa Mfalme ajaye kwa Jina la Bwana!”“Amani mbinguni na utukufu huko juu sana.” 39 Baadhi ya Mafarisayo waliokuwamo miongoni mwa ule umati wa watu wakamwambia, “Mwalimu, waamuru wanafunzi wako wanyamaze.” 40 Yesu akawajibu, “Nawaambia ninyi, kama hawa wakinyamaza, mawe yatapiga kelele.” 41 Alipokaribia Yerusalemu na kuuona mji, aliulilia, 42 akisema, “Laiti ungalijua hata wewe leo yale ambayo yangeleta amani, lakini sasa yamefichika machoni pako. 43 Hakika siku zinakujia, ambazo adui zako watakuzingira, nao watakuzunguka pande zote na kukuzuilia ndani. 44 Watakuponda chini, wewe na watoto walioko ndani ya kuta zako. Nao hawataacha hata jiwe moja juu ya jingine, kwa sababu hukutambua wakati wa kujiliwa kwako.” 45 Ndipo akaingia eneo la Hekalu, akaanza kuwafukuza wale waliokuwa wakiuza vitu humo. 46 Naye akawaambia, “Imeandikwa, ‘Nyumba yangu itakuwa nyumba ya sala,’ lakini ninyi mmeifanya kuwa ‘pango la wanyangʼanyi.’ ” 47 Kila siku alikuwa akifundisha Hekaluni. Lakini viongozi wa makuhani, walimu wa sheria na viongozi wa watu walikuwa wakitafuta njia ili kumuua. 48 Lakini hawakupata nafasi kwa sababu watu wote walimfuata wakiyasikiliza maneno yake kwa usikivu mwingi.
