< 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 as they came to Jerusalem, they were close to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, and 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 opposite us. As soon as you enter it, you will find a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it to me.
3 Ambusyaga mundu, ‘Ligongo chi nkutenda yeleyo?’ Mwasalile, ‘Ambuje akunsaka, ni chaachimmusya mwachitema pe.’”
If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' you should say, 'The Lord has need of it and will immediately send it back here.'”
4 Nipele, ŵakulijiganya wo ŵajawile ni kunsimana mwanambunda ali ataŵikwe pachiŵandi ni nnango, muumbali mwa litala. Paŵangopolaga,
They went away and found a colt tied at a door outside on the open street, and they untied it.
5 ŵandu ŵampepe ŵaŵajimi pelepo ŵausisye, “Uli, mbona nkungopola mwanambunda jo?”
Some people were standing there and said to them, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
6 Ŵakulijiganya ŵajanjile mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu, ni ŵandu ŵala ŵaalesile ajaule najo.
They spoke to them as Jesus told them, and the people let them go their way.
7 Ŵampelechele Che Yesu mwanambunda jula. Ŵatandiche iwalo yao pangongo wa mwanambunda jula, ni Che Yesu ŵatemi pachanya pakwe.
The two disciples brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it so Jesus could ride it.
8 Ŵandu ŵajinji ŵatandiche iwalo yao mwitala, ni ŵane ŵatemenye nyambi sya mwana sya itela mmigunda ni kutandika mwitala kwa kwachimbichisya.
Many people spread their garments on the road, and 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!
Those who went before him and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one 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 into Jerusalem and went into the temple and looked around at everything. Now, the time being late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 Malaŵi jakwe, paŵatyochelaga ku Besania, Che Yesu jakwete sala.
The next day, when they returned from 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.
Seeing from far away a fig tree that had leaves, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it, and when he came 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 )
He spoke to it, “No one will ever eat fruit from you again.” And his 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.
They came to Jerusalem, and he entered the temple and began to cast out the sellers and the buyers in the temple. He turned over the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.
16 Iyoyo, ŵakanyisye mundu jwalijose akajigala chachili chose kutyochela pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
He did not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple that could be sold.
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!”
He taught them and said, “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.
The chief priests and the scribes heard what he had said, and they looked for a way to kill him. For they feared him because the entire crowd was amazed at his teaching.
19 Pakwaswele, Che Yesu ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵakopweche musi wo.
When evening came, they left the city.
20 Kundaŵi jakwe, paŵapitaga ŵachiweni chitela cha ntini chila chili chijumwile koo, kutandilila mmichiga mpaka ku nyambi.
As they walked by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.
21 Che Petulo ŵagakumbuchile agala gaŵaŵechete Che Yesu, ni ŵansalile, “Jwakwiganya, nnole! Chitela cha ntini chimwalwesisye chila chijumwile!”
Peter remembered and said, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered away.”
22 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mwakulupilile Akunnungu.
Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
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 say to you that whoever says to this mountain, 'Get up and cast yourself into the sea,' and if he does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he said will happen, that is what God will do.
24 Kwa ligongo lyo ngunsalila, pankupopela ni kuŵenda chindu, nkulupilile kuti nkuchipochela, nombecho chichiŵe chenu.
Therefore I say to you: Everything you pray and ask for, believe that you received it, and it will be yours.
25 Pankupopela, iŵaga kwana mundu jwanneŵele, mwalechelesye yangalumbana yantendele, kuti Atati ŵenu ŵa kwinani annechelesye sambi syenu.
When you stand and pray, you must forgive whatever you have against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also 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,
They came to Jerusalem again. As Jesus was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him.
28 ni ŵausisye, “Ana nkugatendekanya gelega kwa ulamusi wa acheni? Ŵaani ŵampele ulamusi wa kuitendekanya yeleyi?”
They said to him, “By what authority do you do these things, 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.
Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Tell me 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?’
They discussed between themselves and argued and said, “If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, '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 everyone was convinced that John was a prophet.
33 Nipele, ŵanjanjile Che Yesu, “Ngatukumanyilila.” Nombejo ŵaasalile, “None jwakwe ngangunsalila kwa ulamusi wa acheni nguitendekanya yeleyi.”
Then they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” Then Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
