WORD Research this...Luke 19
- 1 Yesu aliingia mjini Yeriko, akawa anapita katika njia za mji huo.
- 2 Kulikuwa na mtu mmoja mjini, jina lake Zakayo ambaye alikuwa mkuu wa watoza ushuru tena mtu tajiri.
- 3 Alitaka kuona Yesu alikuwa nani, lakini kwa sababu ya umati wa watu, na kwa vile alikuwa mfupi, hakufaulu.
- 4 Hivyo, alitangulia mbio, akapanda juu ya mkuyu ili aweze kumwona Yesu, kwa maana alikuwa apitie hapo.
- 5 Basi, Yesu alipofika mahali pale, aliangalia juu akamwambia, "Zakayo, shuka upesi, maana leo ni lazima nishinde nyumbani mwako."
- 6 Zakayo akashuka haraka, akamkaribisha kwa furaha.
- 7 Watu wote walipoona hayo, wakaanza kunung'unika wakisema, "Amekwenda kukaa kwa mtu mwenye dhambi."
- 8 Lakini Zakayo akasimama akamwambia Yesu, "Sikiliza Bwana! Mimi nitawapa maskini nusu ya mali yangu, na kama nimenyang'anya mtu yeyote kitu, nitamrudishia mara nne."
- 9 Yesu akamwambia, "Leo wokovu umefika katika nyumba hii, kwa vile huyu pia ni wa ukoo wa Abrahamu.
- 10 Kwa maana Mwana wa Mtu amekuja kutafuta na kuokoa waliopotea."
- 11 Wakati watu walipokuwa bado wanasikiliza hayo, Yesu akawaambia mfano. (Hapo alikuwa anakaribia Yerusalemu, na watu wale walidhani kwamba muda si muda, Ufalme wa Mungu ungefika.)
- 12 Hivyo akawaambia, "Kulikuwa na mtu mmoja wa ukoo wa kifalme aliyefanya safari kwenda nchi ya mbali ili apokee madaraka ya ufalme, halafu arudi.
-
13 Basi, kabla ya kuondoka aliwaita watumishi wake kumi, akawapa kiasi cha fedha kila mmoja na kumwambia:
Fanyeni nazo biashara mpaka nitakaporudi. -
14 Lakini wananchi wenzake walimchukia na hivyo wakatuma wajumbe waende wakaseme:
Hatumtaki huyu atutawale. - 15 "Huyo mtu mashuhuri alirudi nyumbani baada ya kufanywa mfalme, na mara akaamuru wale watumishi aliowapa zile fedha waitwe ili aweze kujua kila mmoja amepata faida gani.
-
16 Mtumishi wa kwanza akatokea, akasema:
Mheshimiwa, faida iliyopatikana ni mara kumi ya zile fedha ulizonipa. -
17 Naye akamwambia:
Vema; wewe ni mtumishi mwema. Kwa kuwa umekuwa mwaminifu katika jambo dogo, utakuwa na madaraka juu ya miji kumi! -
18 Mtumishi wa pili akaja, akasema:
Mheshimiwa, faida iliyopatikana ni mara tano ya zile fedha ulizonipa. -
19 Naye akamwambia pia:
Nawe utakuwa na madaraka juu ya miji mitano. -
20 "Mtumishi mwingine akaja, akasema:
Chukua fedha yako; niliificha salama katika kitambaa, -
21 kwa maana niliogopa kwa sababu wewe ni mtu mkali. Wewe ni mtu ambaye huchukua yasiyo yako, na huchuma ambacho hukupanda.
-
22 Naye akamwambia:
Nakuhukumu kutokana na msemo wako, ewe mtumishi mbaya! Ulijua kwamba mimi ni mtu mkali, ambaye huchukua yasiyo yangu na kuchuma nisichopanda. -
23 Kwa nini basi, hukuiweka fedha yangu benki, nami ningeichukua pamoja na faida baada ya kurudi kwangu?
-
24 Hapo akawaambia wale waliokuwa pale:
Mnyang'anyeni hizo fedha, mkampe yule aliyepata faida mara kumi. -
25 Nao wakamwambia:
Lakini Mheshimiwa, huyo ana faida ya kiasi hicho mara kumi! -
26 Naye akawajibu:
Kila aliye na kitu atapewa na kuzidishiwa. Lakini yule asiye na kitu, hata kile alicho nacho kitachukuliwa. -
27 Na sasa, kuhusu hao maadui wangu ambao hawapendi niwe mfalme wao, waleteni hapa, mkawaue papa hapa mbele yangu."
- 28 Yesu alisema hayo, kisha akatangulia mbele yao kuelekea Yerusalemu.
- 29 Alipokaribia kufika Bethfage na Bethania, karibu na mlima wa Mizeituni, aliwatuma wanafunzi wake wawili,
- 30 akawaambia: "Nendeni katika kijiji kilicho mbele yenu. Mtakapokuwa mnaingia kijijini, mtamkuta mwana punda amefungwa ambaye hajatumiwa na mtu. Mfungeni, mkamlete hapa.
-
31 Kama mtu akiwauliza, kwa nini mnamfungua, mwambieni,
Bwana ana haja naye." - 32 Basi, wakaenda, wakakuta sawa kama alivyowaambia.
- 33 Walipokuwa wanamfungua yule mwana punda, wenyewe wakawauliza, "Kwa nini mnamfungua mwana punda huyu?"
- 34 Nao wakawajibu, "Bwana anamhitaji."
- 35 Basi, wakampelekea Yesu yule mwana punda. Kisha wakatandika mavazi yao juu yake wakampandisha Yesu.
- 36 Yesu akaendelea na safari, na watu wakatandaza mavazi yao barabarani.
- 37 Alipofika karibu na Yerusalemu, katika mteremko wa mlima wa Mizeituni, umati wote na wanafunzi wake, wakaanza kushangilia na kumtukuza Mungu kwa sauti kubwa, kwa sababu ya mambo makuu waliyoyaona;
- 38 wakawa wanasema: "Abarikiwe Mfalme ajaye kwa jina la Bwana. Amani mbinguni, na utukufu juu mbinguni!"
- 39 Hapo baadhi ya Mafarisayo waliokuwako katika lile kundi la watu, wakamwambia Yesu, "Mwalimu, wanyamazishe wanafunzi wako!"
- 40 Yesu akawajibu, "Nawaambieni, kama hawa wakinyamaza, hakika hayo mawe yatapaza sauti."
- 41 Alipokaribia zaidi na kuuona ule mji, Yesu aliulilia
- 42 akisema: "Laiti ungelijua leo hii yale yaletayo amani! Lakini sasa yamefichika machoni pako.
- 43 Maana siku zaja ambapo adui zako watakuzungushia maboma, watakuzingira na kukusonga pande zote.
- 44 Watakupondaponda wewe pamoja na watoto wako ndani ya kuta zako; hawatakuachia hata jiwe moja juu jingine, kwa sababu hukuutambua wakati Mungu alipokujia kukuokoa."
- 45 Kisha, Yesu aliingia Hekaluni, akaanza kuwafukuzia nje wafanyabiashara
-
46 akisema, "Imeandikwa:
Nyumba yangu itakuwa nyumba ya sala; lakini ninyi mmeifanya kuwa pango la wanyang'anyi." - 47 Yesu akawa anafundisha kila siku Hekaluni. Makuhani wakuu, walimu wa Sheria na viongozi wa watu walitaka kumwangamiza,
- 48 lakini hawakuwa na la kufanya, maana watu wote walikuwa wakimsikiliza kwa makini kabisa.

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
