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.
When they had almost reached Jerusalem, as far as Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent on 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.
“Go to the village facing you,” he said; “and, as soon as you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has ever ridden; untie it, and bring it.
3 Ambusyaga mundu, ‘Ligongo chi nkutenda yeleyo?’ Mwasalile, ‘Ambuje akunsaka, ni chaachimmusya mwachitema pe.’”
And, if any one says to you ‘Why are you doing that?’, say ‘The Master wants it, and will be sure to send it back here at once.’”
4 Nipele, ŵakulijiganya wo ŵajawile ni kunsimana mwanambunda ali ataŵikwe pachiŵandi ni nnango, muumbali mwa litala. Paŵangopolaga,
The two disciples went, and, finding a foal tethered outside a door in the street, they untied it.
5 ŵandu ŵampepe ŵaŵajimi pelepo ŵausisye, “Uli, mbona nkungopola mwanambunda jo?”
Some of the by-standers said to them: “What are you doing, untying the foal?”
6 Ŵakulijiganya ŵajanjile mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu, ni ŵandu ŵala ŵaalesile ajaule najo.
And the two disciples answered as Jesus had told them; and they allowed them to go.
7 Ŵampelechele Che Yesu mwanambunda jula. Ŵatandiche iwalo yao pangongo wa mwanambunda jula, ni Che Yesu ŵatemi pachanya pakwe.
Then they brought the foal to Jesus, and, when they had laid their cloaks on it, he seated himself upon it.
8 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵatandiche iwalo yao mwitala, ni ŵane ŵatemenye nyambi sya mwana sya itela mmigunda ni kutandika mwitala kwa kwachimbichisya.
Many of the people spread their cloaks on the road, while some strewed boughs 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 led the way, as well as those who followed, kept shouting: “‘God save him! 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! ‘God save him from on high!’”
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.
Jesus entered Jerusalem, and went into the Temple Courts; and, after looking round at everything, as 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, after they had left Bethany, Jesus became 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, noticing a fig-tree at a distance in leaf, he went to it to see if by any chance he could find something on it; but, on coming up to it, he found nothing but leaves, for 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 g165)
So, addressing the tree, he exclaimed: “May no man ever again eat of your fruit!” And his disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
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.
They came to Jerusalem. Jesus went into 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 the pigeon-dealers,
16 Iyoyo, ŵakanyisye mundu jwalijose akajigala chachili chose kutyochela pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
and would not allow any one to carry anything across 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 he began to teach. “Does not Scripture say,” he asked, “‘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.
Now the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law heard this and began to look for some way of putting Jesus to death; for they were afraid of him, since all the people were greatly impressed by his teaching.
19 Pakwaswele, Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵakopweche musi wo.
As soon as evening fell, 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 passed by early in the morning, they noticed that the fig-tree was withered up from the very roots.
21 Che Petulo ŵagakumbuchile agala gaŵaŵechete Che Yesu, ni ŵansalile, “Jwakwiganya, nnole! Chitela cha ntini chimwalwesisye chila chijumwile!”
Then Peter recollected what had occurred. “Look, Rabbi,” he exclaimed, “the fig-tree which you doomed is withered up!”
22 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mwakulupilile Akunnungu.
“Have faith in God!” replied Jesus.
23 Isyene ngunsalila, mundu achichisalilaga chitumbi chi, ‘Ntupuche nkaliponye mbahali,’ pangakola lipamba mu ntima mwakwe ni akulupililaga kuti chaŵechete cho chichitendekwe, chichitendekwe kukwakwe.
“I tell you that if any one should say to this hill ‘Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!’, without ever a doubt in his mind, but in the faith that what he says will be done, he would find that it would be.
24 Kwa ligongo lyo ngunsalila, pankupopela ni kuŵenda chindu, nkulupilile kuti nkuchipochela, nombecho chichiŵe chenu.
And therefore I say to you ‘Have faith that whatever you ask for in prayer is already granted you, and you will find that it will be.’
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 any grievance that you have against any one, that your Father who is in Heaven also may forgive you your offences.”
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,
They came to Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking about in the Temple Courts, the Chief Priests, the Teachers of the Law, and the Councillors came up to him.
28 ni ŵausisye, “Ana nkugatendekanya gelega kwa ulamusi wa acheni? Ŵaani ŵampele ulamusi wa kuitendekanya yeleyi?”
“What authority have you to do these things?” they said. “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 put one question to you,” said Jesus. “Answer me that, and then I will tell you what authority I have to act as I do.
30 Musalile, ubatiso u che Yohana waumile kwinani, pane kwa ŵandu?”
It is about John’s baptism. Was it of divine or human origin? Answer me that.”
31 Ŵanyawo ŵatandite kuusyana jwine ni jwine achitiji, “Twajilaga, ‘Waumile kwinani’, chatuusye, ‘Kwachichi nganimwakulupilila che Yohana?’
They began arguing together; “If we say ‘divine,’ he will say ‘Why then did not you 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.
Yet can we say ‘human’?” — They were afraid of the people, for everyone regarded John as undoubtedly 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.” “Then I,” replied Jesus, “refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.”
