Makko 11
1 Nibakasika ku Jelusalemu kabali aafwiifwi aku Bbetipeji a Bbetani aku Chilundu chama Oliva, Jesu wakatuma basikwiiya bakwe bobile,
When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
2 wakati kuli mbabo, “Amwiinke kugunzi lilikunembo lyenu, mbumutakanjile biyo, muyoojana mwana wembongolo waangidwe nkuko, uutanatantwa naba womwe muntu. Mukamwaangunune mumweete okuno.
and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has yet sat. Untie him, and bring him.
3 Na kuli uyomubuzya kuti, “Muchitilaanzi oobu”? mukamwaambile kuti, ‘Mwami nguulikumuyanda alubo ulamuboozya aano muchiindi chifwiifwi.”
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'Because the Lord needs it,' and he will send it back here at once."
4 Bakayinka baakumujana mwana wedonki kumbali aamunzi, kaangidwe kumanjililo aamunzi. Nibakamwaangununa.
They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
5 Bamwi bantu bakayimvwi mpawo bakabuzya kuti, “Muchitaanzi, nimwaangununa mwana wembongolo donki ooyu?”
Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?"
6 Bakasandula mbuli Jesu mbaakabaambilide, mpawo bantu bakabazumizya kuti beende.
They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
7 Nibakamweeta mwana wembongolo kuli Jesu bakayala majansi amusana wakwe, Jesu wakakkala aalinguwe.
They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
8 Bantu biingi bakayala milembo yabo mumugwagwa, bamwi bakayala matu ngibakatemene mumuunda.
Many spread their garments on the way, and others spread branches which they had cut from the fields.
9 Bakazulwide abakalimusule bakoompolola kabati, “Hossana! Ulilongezezedwe ooyo uza muzina lyaMwami.
Those who went in front, and those who followed, shouted, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
10 Bulilongezegedwe ibwaami buyobuza ibwa taata wesu Davida! Hossana mujulu lyamajulu!”
Blessed is the kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest."
11 Jesu wakanjila mu Jelusalema akwiinka ku Chikombelo bakalangalanga boonse busena, pele nkaambo kakuti lyakali lyaba goko, wakayinka ku Bbetani abalikumi aababili.
And he entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 Buzuba butobela nibakaboola kuzwa ku Bbetani, wakali waba aanzala.
The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
13 Mukubona mukuyu amatu aawo chakule, wakayinka kuti akabone kuti ulaamichelo na. Naakasika afwiifwi wabona matu luzutu kakutakwe michelo, kambo techakali chiindi chankuyu pe.
Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
14 Elyo wakaambila mukuyu kuti, “Kutazoobi naba womwe uzoolya michelo kulinduwe.” Basikwiiya baakwe bakamumvwa kawamba majwi aayo. (aiōn g165)
Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." and his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
15 Naakasika mu Jelusalema, wakanjila muchikombelo mpawo wakatalika kwaandingania bakalikuula akuuzya oomo. Wakatonta matebuli aabasimuchincha mali ezyuuno zyabaabo bakalikuuzya nkwilimba.
They came to Jerusalem, and he entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.
16 Mpawo takwe naakazumizya naba omwe kuti abweze zyakalikuuzigwa mulubaya lwatempele.
He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
17 Mpawo naakabayiisya wakati, “Tachilembedwe na kuti: `Ng'anda yangu iyotegwa ning'anda yakukombela kwamanyika wonse’? Pesi nywebo mwayichita ng'anda yabasikubba.”
He taught, saying to them, "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 Bapati babapayizi abasimilawo bakaamvwa makani aya eelyo bakayandula nzila zyakumujaya aazyo, bakalikumuyowa nkaambo bantu biingi boonse bakaba aakugamba enjiisyo yakwe.
The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching.
19 Nilyakaba igoko, bakazwa mudolopo.
When evening came, they went out of the city.
20 Chifumofumo nkabayobweenda, bakabona mukuyu nkuuyumide kuzwa kumiyanda.
As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
21 Pita wakayeeya mpawo wakati kuli Jesu, “Muyisi wangu langa! Mukuyu ngwakatukila wayuma!”
Peter, remembering, said to him, "Teacher, look. The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."
22 Jesu wakasandula kuti, “Amube aalusyomo muli Leza.
Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
23 Ndimwaambila kasimpe kuti, na umwi wati kuchilundu, ‘Nkoya ukaliwalile mulwizi,’ mpawo nkatadooneki mumoyo wakwe pesi nkasyoma kuti ezyo nzyawamba ziyochitika, ziyochitika mbubo.
Truly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
24 Nkaako ndamwaambila kuti: Kufumbwa nchimuyookumbila mukukomba, amusyome kuti muyoochijana, mpawo chiyooba chanu.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 Mpawo naa wayimikila kokomba, na nkowangilide umwi moyo, mulekelele, nkokuti Wuso wako ulikujulu akulekelele zibi zyako.
Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your wrongdoing.
26 [“Nkambo kuti inywe nkamutalekeleli bantu balaamilandu kuli ndinywe, alakwe Wuso uulikujulu takoyoomulekelela milandu yenu”.]
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your wrongdoing."
27 Bakasika lubo kuJelusama. Eelyo Jesu naakayobweenda mulubuwa lwaChikombelo, bapayizi bapati, abayisyi bamulawu abapati bembungano bakeza kulinguwe.
They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,
28 Bakati, “Mumanguzu aani mochita zintu ziloobu? Alimwi ngwani ukupa inguzu zyakuchita zintu eezi?”.
and they began saying to him, "By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority to do these things?"
29 Jesu wakasandula kuti, “Ndiyobuzya mubuzyo womwe. Mundisandule, eelyo ndiyomwaambila kuti munguzu zyani mwendiikuchita zintu eezi.
Jesus said to them, "I will also ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 Lubbabbatizyo lwaJohani, lwakalikuzwa kujulu na, nakuti lwakazwa kumuntu? Mundambile!”
The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from people? Answer me."
31 Bakayizya aatala amakani aaya mpawo bakakazyania bati, “Nitwaamba kuti, ‘Luzwa kuzulu,’ ulatubuzya kuti 'Nkamboonzi nimutamusyomi?’
They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say, 'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
32 Pesi nitwaamba kuti, 'Luzwa kumuntu’....” bakayoowa bantu nkaambo muntu woonse wakalizi kuti Joni musinsimi mwinimwini.
If we should say, 'From people'"—they feared the crowd, for all held John to really be a prophet.
33 Alimwi bakasandula Jesu kuti “Tatuzi pe.” Mpawo Jesu wakabaambila kuti, “Nsikomwaambila pe ambebo kuti manguzu aani ngechita aawo zintu eezi”.
They answered and said to Jesus, "We do not know." Jesus said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."
