< 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.
Now when they were approaching Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives,
2 Ni ŵaasalile, “Njaule pansinda wauli mmbujo mwenu, pachinkajinjileje po chinkansimane mwanambunda jwanganakwelekwe ni mundu kose, ali ataŵikwe, nkangopole ni kunnyika nawo apano.
Jesus sent two of his disciples and told them. "Go to that village in front of you, and immediately on entering it you will find a colt tied, upon which no man has ever sat; untie him and bring him here.
3 Ambusyaga mundu, ‘Ligongo chi nkutenda yeleyo?’ Mwasalile, ‘Ambuje akunsaka, ni chaachimmusya mwachitema pe.’”
And if any man asks you, ‘Why are you doing that?" answer, ‘The Lord has need of him, and he will immediately send him back.’"
4 Nipele, ŵakulijiganya wo ŵajawile ni kunsimana mwanambunda ali ataŵikwe pachiŵandi ni nnango, muumbali mwa litala. Paŵangopolaga,
So they went and found a colt tied outside a door, in the open street, and untied it.
5 ŵandu ŵampepe ŵaŵajimi pelepo ŵausisye, “Uli, mbona nkungopola mwanambunda jo?”
And some of the bystanders began to say to them, "What are you trying to do, untying that colt?"
6 Ŵakulijiganya ŵajanjile mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu, ni ŵandu ŵala ŵaalesile ajaule najo.
So they answered them just as Jesus had told them, and they let them take it.
7 Ŵampelechele Che Yesu mwanambunda jula. Ŵatandiche iwalo yao pangongo wa mwanambunda jula, ni Che Yesu ŵatemi pachanya pakwe.
Then they brought the colt to Jesus, and when they had thrown cloaks upon it, Jesus seated himself on it.
8 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵatandiche iwalo yao mwitala, ni ŵane ŵatemenye nyambi sya mwana sya itela mmigunda ni kutandika mwitala kwa kwachimbichisya.
Then many spread their cloaks on the road, and others, soft leafy branches, which 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!
and those who went before him and those who came after kept shouting. "Hosanna! Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 Akunnungu aupe upile umwenye waukwika wa atati ŵetu Mwenye che Daudi. Ajinichilwe Akumanani!”
Blessed be 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 he entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple, and after he had looked around at everything, as the hour was now late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12 Malaŵi jakwe, paŵatyochelaga ku Besania, Che Yesu jakwete sala.
The next day after leaving Bethany he 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.
and seeing a fig tree in the distance full of leaves, he came to see if he could find anything on it, and found on it nothing but leaves (for it was not the time of 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 )
So, addressing the tree, he said, "Let no man ever more eat fruit from you." And the disciples heard it. (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.
Presently they reached Jerusalem, and, after entering the Temple courts, Jesus began to drive out those who were buying and selling there, and to upset the tables of the money-changers, and the stalls of those who sold doves,
16 Iyoyo, ŵakanyisye mundu jwalijose akajigala chachili chose kutyochela pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
and he would not allow any one to carry a vessel through the Temple courts, Then he began to teach.
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!”
"Is it not written," he said, "My house shall 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.
The chief priests and the Scribes heard this, and they began to seek means of destroying him; for they were afraid of him because all the crowd were greatly struck with his teaching.
19 Pakwaswele, Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵakopweche musi wo.
Now every evening he used to go outside the city;
20 Kundaŵi jakwe, paŵapitaga ŵachiweni chitela cha ntini chila chili chijumwile koo, kutandilila mmichiga mpaka ku nyambi.
and as they (he and his disciples) were passing along in the morning, they saw the fig tree already withered from the root.
21 Che Petulo ŵagakumbuchile agala gaŵaŵechete Che Yesu, ni ŵansalile, “Jwakwiganya, nnole! Chitela cha ntini chimwalwesisye chila chijumwile!”
Then Peter remembered, and exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, the fig tree which you cursed is withered up."
22 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mwakulupilile Akunnungu.
"Take hold on God’s faithfulness," said Jesus to them in reply.
23 Isyene ngunsalila, mundu achichisalilaga chitumbi chi, ‘Ntupuche nkaliponye mbahali,’ pangakola lipamba mu ntima mwakwe ni akulupililaga kuti chaŵechete cho chichitendekwe, chichitendekwe kukwakwe.
"In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, ‘Up and hurl yourself into the sea!’ and shall not doubt in his heart, but on the contrary shall believe that what he says will happen, it will be granted him.
24 Kwa ligongo lyo ngunsalila, pankupopela ni kuŵenda chindu, nkulupilile kuti nkuchipochela, nombecho chichiŵe chenu.
That is why I am telling you that whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it shall be yours.
25 Pankupopela, iŵaga kwana mundu jwanneŵele, mwalechelesye yangalumbana yantendele, kuti Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani annechelesye sambi syenu.
And whenever you stand up to pray, forgive, if you have anything against any one, that so your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
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,
Once more they came into Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the Temple courts, there came to him the high priests and Scribes and elders and asked him.
28 ni ŵausisye, “Ana nkugatendekanya gelega kwa ulamusi wa acheni? Ŵaani ŵampele ulamusi wa kuitendekanya yeleyi?”
"By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you this authority to do these things?"
29 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “None chinambusye liusyo limo. Iŵaga chimunyanje none chinansalile kwa ulamusi wa acheni nguitenda indu yi.
"And I will put one question to you," replied Jesus. "Answer this, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 Musalile, ubatiso u che Yohana waumile kwinani, pane kwa ŵandu?”
The baptism of John, 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?’
Then they began arguing with one another. "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.
On the other hand, if we say, ‘From men’!"They were afraid, however, of the people, for every one held that Johnhad been really a prophet.
33 Nipele, ŵanjanjile Che Yesu, “Ngatukumanyilila.” Nombejo ŵaasalile, “None jwakwe ngangunsalila kwa ulamusi wa acheni nguitendekanya yeleyi.”
So their answer to Jesus was, "We do not know." "Neither will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
