< Maliko 11 >
1 Paŵaliji nkuŵandichila ku Yelusalemu, ŵaiche mmisinda ja ku Besefage ni ku Besania, chiŵandi ni Chikwesya cha Miseituni. Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaatumile ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaŵili.
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two of His disciples
2 Ni ŵaasalile, “Njaule pansinda wauli mmbujo mwenu, pachinkajinjileje po chinkansimane mwanambunda jwanganakwelekwe ni mundu kose, ali ataŵikwe, nkangopole ni kunnyika nawo apano.
and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
3 Ambusyaga mundu, ‘Ligongo chi nkutenda yeleyo?’ Mwasalile, ‘Ambuje akunsaka, ni chaachimmusya mwachitema pe.’”
If anyone asks, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it shortly.’”
4 Nipele, ŵakulijiganya wo ŵajawile ni kunsimana mwanambunda ali ataŵikwe pachiŵandi ni nnango, muumbali mwa litala. Paŵangopolaga,
So they went and found the colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,
5 ŵandu ŵampepe ŵaŵajimi pelepo ŵausisye, “Uli, mbona nkungopola mwanambunda jo?”
and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
6 Ŵakulijiganya ŵajanjile mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu, ni ŵandu ŵala ŵaalesile ajaule najo.
The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.
7 Ŵampelechele Che Yesu mwanambunda jula. Ŵatandiche iwalo yao pangongo wa mwanambunda jula, ni Che Yesu ŵatemi pachanya pakwe.
Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.
8 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵatandiche iwalo yao mwitala, ni ŵane ŵatemenye nyambi sya mwana sya itela mmigunda ni kutandika mwitala kwa kwachimbichisya.
Many in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
9 Nipele ŵandu ŵaŵalongolele ni ŵane ŵaŵakuyaga panyuma ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Alapikwe Akunnungu! Akunnungu ampe upile jwelejo jwakwika mu liina lya Ambuje!
The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”
10 Akunnungu aupe upile umwenye waukwika wa atati ŵetu Mwenye che Daudi. Ajinichilwe Akumanani!”
“Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
11 Che Yesu wajinjile mmusi wa ku Yelusalemu, ni ŵapelengenye pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ni ŵalolesyelolesye. Nambo pakuŵa jaliji ligulo, ŵajawile kunsinda wa ku Besania pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao likumi ni ŵaŵili.
Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12 Malaŵi jakwe, paŵatyochelaga ku Besania, Che Yesu jakwete sala.
The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
13 Nipele, ali kwakutalichila ŵachiweni chitela cha ntini chana masamba gamajinji. Ŵajawile kukuchilola, alole iŵaga chakombole kupata chisogosi chachili chose. Paŵaiche pachitela pala ŵachisimene masamba pe pangali chisogosi, ligongo nganikaŵa katema kakwe ka kusogola.
Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.
14 Pelepo Che Yesu ŵachisalile chitela chila, “Chitandile sambano ni kuendelechela, ngapagwa mundu juchalye sooni isogosi yenu!” Ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵampilikene paŵaŵechete gelego. (aiōn )
Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement. (aiōn )
15 Nipele paŵaiche ku Yelusalemu, Che Yesu ŵajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Ni ŵatandite kwatopolela paasa, ŵandu ŵaŵaliji nkusumisya ni kusuma indu mwelemo. Ŵapikwile mesa sya ŵakutindanya mbiya ni itengu ya ŵandu ŵaŵasumisyaga nguunda.
When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
16 Iyoyo, ŵakanyisye mundu jwalijose akajigala chachili chose kutyochela pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
And He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.
17 Nipele, ŵajiganyisye, “Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu, Akunnungu akuti, ‘Nyuumba jangu chijiŵilanjikwe nyuumba ja kupopelela kwa ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo!’ Nambo ŵanyamwe njitesile jiŵe mbugu ja kulisisila ŵa wiyi!”
Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
18 Achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo paŵapilikene yelei, ŵatandite kusosa litala lya kwaulaga Che Yesu. Nambo ŵanjogwepe, ligongo ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaliji nkusimonga wiganye wakwe.
When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.
19 Pakwaswele, Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵakopweche musi wo.
And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.
20 Kundaŵi jakwe, paŵapitaga ŵachiweni chitela cha ntini chila chili chijumwile koo, kutandilila mmichiga mpaka ku nyambi.
As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.
21 Che Petulo ŵagakumbuchile agala gaŵaŵechete Che Yesu, ni ŵansalile, “Jwakwiganya, nnole! Chitela cha ntini chimwalwesisye chila chijumwile!”
Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”
22 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mwakulupilile Akunnungu.
“Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.
23 Isyene ngunsalila, mundu achichisalilaga chitumbi chi, ‘Ntupuche nkaliponye mbahali,’ pangakola lipamba mu ntima mwakwe ni akulupililaga kuti chaŵechete cho chichitendekwe, chichitendekwe kukwakwe.
“Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.
24 Kwa ligongo lyo ngunsalila, pankupopela ni kuŵenda chindu, nkulupilile kuti nkuchipochela, nombecho chichiŵe chenu.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 Pankupopela, iŵaga kwana mundu jwanneŵele, mwalechelesye yangalumbana yantendele, kuti Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani annechelesye sambi syenu.
And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”
26 Nambo iŵaga ngumwalechelesya ŵane sambi syao, Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani nombe ngannechelesya sambi syenu.”
27 Nipele ŵaiche sooni ku Yelusalemu. Che Yesu paŵaliji nkwendajenda pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni achachekulu ŵajaulile,
After their return to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking in the temple courts, and the chief priests, scribes, and elders came up to Him.
28 ni ŵausisye, “Ana nkugatendekanya gelega kwa ulamusi wa acheni? Ŵaani ŵampele ulamusi wa kuitendekanya yeleyi?”
“By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You the authority to do them?”
29 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “None chinambusye liusyo limo. Iŵaga chimunyanje none chinansalile kwa ulamusi wa acheni nguitenda indu yi.
“I will ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
30 Musalile, ubatiso u che Yohana waumile kwinani, pane kwa ŵandu?”
John’s baptism—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me!”
31 Ŵanyawo ŵatandite kuusyana jwine ni jwine achitiji, “Twajilaga, ‘Waumile kwinani’, chatuusye, ‘Kwachichi nganimwakulupilila che Yohana?’
They deliberated among themselves what they should answer: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
32 Ni twatiji, ‘Waumile kwa ŵandu,’ chiiŵe uli?” Ŵaujogwepe mpingo wa ŵandu, pakuŵa ŵandu wose ŵakulupilile kuti che Yohana ŵaliji jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.
33 Nipele, ŵanjanjile Che Yesu, “Ngatukumanyilila.” Nombejo ŵaasalile, “None jwakwe ngangunsalila kwa ulamusi wa acheni nguitendekanya yeleyi.”
So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
