< Matthew 21 >

1 And when they were near Jerusalem, and had come to Beth-phage, to the Mountain of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,
A Yeshu na bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakabhandishilanjeje ku Yelushalemu gubhaikengenenje ku Bhetipage tome na shitumbi sha Misheituni, gubhaatumilenjeje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhabhili,
2 Saying to them, Go into the little town in front of you, and straight away you will see an ass with a cord round her neck, and a young one with her; let them loose and come with them to me.
gubhaalugulilenje, “Nnjendangane kushijiji shili mmujo jenunji, kweneko shimung'imananje mbunda atabhilwe naka mwanagwe. Mwagopolanje nkajiye nabhonji.
3 And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, The Lord has need of them; and straight away he will send them.
Monaga mundu ammuyangaga shoshowe, munnugulilanje, ‘Bhakulungwa bhanakwaapinganga,’ nabhalabho shangupe shibhampanganje.”
4 Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,
Genega gashinkutendeka nkupinga gatimilile gegala galugwilwe na ankulondola bha a Nnungu bhalinkuti,
5 Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and seated on an ass, and on a young ass.
“Mwaabhalanjilanje bhashilambo ku Shayuni, ‘Munnole, Mpalume jwenu anakwiya! Ashikwitimalika na ashikwela mbunda, Mwana jwa mbunda.’”
6 And the disciples went and did as Jesus had given them orders,
Bhaajiganywa bhala gubhapitengene, nigubhatendilenje malinga shibhalugulilwenje na a Yeshu.
7 And got the ass and the young one, and put their clothing on them, and he took his seat on it.
Gubhanjiye nabhonji mbunda jula naka mwanagwe, gubhatandikenje nngubho yabhonji panani jabhonji na a Yeshu gubhakwelile nitama panani nngubho paka mwana mbunda.
8 And all the people put their clothing down in the way; and others got branches from the trees, and put them down in the way.
Bhandu bhagumbelenje bhala gubhatandikenje nngubho yabhonji ina mumpanda, na bhandu bhananji gubhatemilenje maagala gubhatandikenje mumpanda.
9 And those who went before him, and those who came after, gave loud cries, saying, Glory to the Son of David: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord: Glory in the highest.
Bhandu bhabhagwinji bhalinginji mmujo na bhalinginji nnyuma bhala, gubhautiyenje lilobhe bhalinkutinji, “Nnumbililwe Bhaulongo gwa a Daudi! Apegwe mboka jwene akwiya kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa! Bhalumbililwe a Nnungu bhali Kunnungu!”
10 And when he came into Jerusalem, all the town was moved, saying, Who is this?
A Yeshu bhakajinjileje ku Yelushalemu, shilambo showe gushigumbele nnjasha. Bhandunji gubhalinginji nkubhuya, “Jweneju gani?”
11 And the people said, This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
Likundi lya bhandunji munkumbi mula gubhashitenje, “Bhenebha a nkulondola bha a Nnungu a Yeshu, kopoka ku Nashaleti shilambo sha Galilaya.”
12 And Jesus went into the Temple and sent out all who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those trading in doves.
Bhai, a Yeshu gubhajinjile ku liekalu, gubhaabhinjilenje palanga bhandu bhaushangaga na uma indu ku liekalu, gubhapindikulenye mesha ya bhaatindiganya mmbiya bhala na itengu ya bhaushanga ngunda.
13 And he said to them, It is in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer, but you are making it a hole of thieves.
Gubhaalugulilenje, “Ishijandikwa Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo, ‘Nyumba jangu shijishemwe nyumba ja nyujila nne.’ Ikabheje mmanganya nshikujitendanga lishembo lya bhaapokonyola indu.”
14 And the blind and the broken in body came to him in the Temple, and he made them well.
Ashinangalole na bhalemelenje gubhaajendelenje ku liekaluko, nabhalabho a Yeshu gubhaalamiyenje.
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the works of power which he did, and the children crying out in the Temple, Glory to the son of David, they were angry and said to him,
Bhai, bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila na bhaajiganya bha Shalia bhakaibhonanjeje ilapo ibhatendile a Yeshu, na bhana bhashoko pubhautiyangaga lilobhe ku liekalu bhalinkutinji, “Bhalumbililwe Bhaulongo gwa a Daudi,” gubhatumbelenje.
16 Have you any idea what these are saying? And Jesus said to them, Yes: have you not seen in the Writings, From the lips of children and babies at the breast you have made your praise complete?
Kwa nneyo gubhaalugulilenje, “Bhuli, nkapilikana ibhaabheleketanga?” A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Elo, ngulipilikana! Bhuli, nkanabhe shomanga Mmajandiko? ‘Kwa kang'wa ya bhana bhashoko na ashinambombe Shibhannumbililanje.’”
17 And he went away from them, and went out of the town to Bethany, and was there for the night.
Bhai, gubhaaleshilenje, gubhajabhwile pa shilambo pala gubhapite ku Bhetania, gubhagonile kweneko.
18 Now in the morning when he was coming back to the town, he had a desire for food.
Lyambape a Yeshu bhalibhuja kwenda ku Yelushalemu, gubhakwete shibhanga.
19 And seeing a fig-tree by the wayside, he came to it, and saw nothing on it but leaves only; and he said to it, Let there be no fruit from you from this time forward for ever. And straight away the fig-tree became dry and dead. (aiōn g165)
Gubhagubhweni nkongo gumo gwa tini nnyenje mpanda, gubhaujendele, ikabheje bhangashibhona shindu ikabhe maambape. Bhai, gubhaulugulile nkongo gula, “Unaogoye kabhili iepo pitipiti!” Shangupe nkongo gwa tini gula ukunyalaga. (aiōn g165)
20 And when the disciples saw it they were surprised, saying, How did the fig-tree become dry in so short a time?
Bhaajiganywa bhakaubhonanjeje bhashinkulapanga, gubhashitenje, “Kwa nndi agu nkongogu ushinyala shangupe?”
21 And Jesus in answer said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith, without doubting, not only may you do what has been done to the fig-tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and put into the sea, it will be done.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, monaga nkolangaga ngulupai gwangali lipamba, shinkombolanje tenda nngabha ga ntinipe, ikabheje nkali kushilugulila ashi shitumbishi, ‘Tutumbuka ukatumbushile mmashi,’ shiitendeshe.
22 And all things, whatever you make request for in prayer, having faith, you will get.
Na nkolangaga ngulupai, shoshowe shishinnjuganje kwa a Nnungu, shimpegwanje.”
23 And when he had come into the Temple, the chief priests and those in authority over the people came to him while he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you do these things? and who gave you this authority?
A Yeshu bhakajinjileje ku liekalu bhali nkujiganya, bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila na bhanangulungwa bha bhandunji gubhaajendelenje nikwaabhuya, “Nnatenda genega kwa ukulungwa ukeni? Gani ampele jene amuliji?”
24 And Jesus said to them in answer, I will put one question to you, and if you give me the answer, I will say by what authority I do these things.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Na nne ngunakumuyanga, nnyangulangaga, bhai na nne shininnugulilanje ngunatenda genega kwa ukulungwa ukeni.
25 The baptism of John, where did it come from? from heaven or from men? And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did you not have faith in him?
Bhuli, ubhatisho gwa a Yowana kugwakoposhele kwei? Bhuli, kugwakoposhele kwa a Nnungu eu ku bhandu?” Ikabheje gubhabheketelenje ashaayenenji, Tulugulaga, “Kugwakoposhele kwa a Nnungu,” shibhatubhuye, “Bhai, pakuti mwangakulupalilanga?”
26 But if we say, From men; we are in fear of the people, because all take John to be a prophet.
Na tulugulaga, “Kugwakoposhele ku bhandu,” tunakwaajogopanga bhandunji pabha bhowe bhanakundanga kuti a Yowana ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
27 And they made answer and said, We have no idea. Then he said to them, And I will not say to you by what authority I do these things.
Bhai, gubhaajangwilenje, “Tukakumumanya!” Nabhalabho a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Numbe nne ngannugulilanga ngunatenda genega kwa ukulungwa gwashi.”
28 But how does it seem to you? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go and do work today in the vine-garden.
“Mmanganya nkubhonanga bhuli? Bhandu bhamo bhashinkukola bhana bhabhili. Gubhannugulile jwankulu jula, ‘Mwanangu, lelo ukakamule liengo kunngunda gwa mishabhibhu.’
29 And he said in answer, I will not: but later, changing his decision, he went.
Nshanda jula gwajangwile, ‘Ngajenda!’ Ikabheje gwaibhushiye, kungai gwapite kamula liengo.
30 And he came to the second and said the same. And he made answer and said, I go, sir: and went not.
Ainamundu bhala gubhannugulile jwa nnung'una jula nneila peila, jwalakwe akwaajangulaga, ‘Atati shinyende!’ Ikabheje jwangajenda.
31 Which of the two did his father's pleasure? They say, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that tax-farmers and loose women are going into the kingdom of God before you.
Bhuli, bhene bhabhilibha jwei atendile ibhapinga Ainamundu?” Gubhaajangwilenje, “Jwankulu jula.” Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, bhakamula koli na bha labhalabha shibhannongolelanje kujinjila Muupalume gwa a Nnungu.”
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you had no faith in him, but the tax-farmers and the loose women had faith in him: and you, when you saw it, did not even have regret for your sins, so as to have faith in him.
Pabha a Yowana bhanng'ishilenje na kunnanguyanga mpanda gwa aki mwangaakulupalilanga, ikabheje bhakamula koli na bha labhalabha bhashinkwaakulupalilanga. Nkali nkagabhonanjeje gowego mmanganya mwangaipetanga nikwaakulupalila.
33 Give ear to another story. A master of a house made a vine garden, and put a wall round it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and made a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.
A Yeshu gubhashite, mpilikananje lutango luna. Bhandu bhamo bhashinkulima nngunda gwa mishabhibhu, gubhatimbiliye lubhigo, gubhaolile liiko lya minyila divai, gubhashenjile na nyingo ja tama bhalinda. Kungai gubhaakolishiyenje bhaalima, gubhajabhwile kwenda shilambo sha talika.
34 And when the time for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the workmen, to get the fruit.
Gakaisheje mobha ga maneng'eno, gubhaatumilenje bhatumishi bhabho ku bhaalimanga bhala, nkupinga bhakatolelanje ndalo.
35 And the workmen made an attack on his servants, giving blows to one, putting another to death, and stoning another.
Bhaalimanga bhala gubhaakamwilenje bhatumishi bhala, jumo gubhankomilenje na juna gubhammulegenje na juna gubhankomilenje maganga mpaka gwawile.
36 Again, he sent other servants more in number than the first: and they did the same to them.
Bhandu bhala gubhaatumilenje kabhili bhatumishi bhana, bhabhagwinji punda bhalongolelenje bhala. Bhaalimanga bhala gubhaatendelenje nneila peila malinga bhalongolelenje bhala.
37 But after that he sent his son to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.
Kumpelo gubhantumile mwanagwabho akuno bhaliganishiya, shibhannjogopanje pabha mwanangu.
38 But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.
Ikabheje bhaalimanga bhala bhakammonanjeje mwanagwabho gubhabheleketenje ashaayenenji, “Jweneju ni apinga lishi, tummulaje tutole ulishi gwakwe!”
39 And they took him and, driving him out of the vine-garden, put him to death.
Bhai, gubhankamwilenje, gubhampelekenje kunyenje nngunda gwa mishabhibhu gula, gubhammulegenje.
40 When, then, the lord of the vine-garden comes, what will he do to those workmen?
“Lelo, bhayene nngunda gwa mishabhibhu pushibhaishepo, shibhaatendanje bhuli bhaalimangabho?”
41 They say to him, He will put those cruel men to a cruel death, and will let out the vine-garden to other workmen, who will give him the fruit when it is ready.
Gubhajangwilenje, “Shibhaabhulaganje bhaalimanga bhangali bha mbonenjibho, na nngunda gula shibhaapanganje bhaalimanga bhananji, shibhajiye kwaapanganga ndalo.”
42 Jesus says to them, Did you never see in the Writings, The stone which the builders put on one side, the same has been made the chief stone of the building: this was the Lord's doing, and it is a wonder in our eyes?
Penepo a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Bhuli, nkanabheshomanga yenei Mmajandiko? ‘Liganga libhalikanilenje bhaashenga Nnaino lishibha liganga likulu lya pa ndumba. Bhakulungwa bhatendile lyeneli, Na kunngwetu uwe ni lya lapa!’
43 For this reason I say to you, The kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.
“Kwa nneyo ngunakummalanjilanga, Upalume gwa a Nnungu upinga shoywa kungwenunji, bhapegwanje bhandunji bha ilambo ina, shibhakombolanje kutenda ibhapinga a Nnungu.”
44 Any man falling on this stone will be broken, but he on whom it comes down will be crushed to dust.
Na jwene shaagwile lyene ligangalyo, shatemekanje ipande, na jojowe shilinngwile lyene ligangalyo, shakandaganywe.
45 And when his stories came to the ears of the chief priests and the Pharisees, they saw that he was talking of them.
Bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila na Mapalishayo bhakapilikananjeje ndango ya a Yeshu, gubhamumanyinji kuti bhanakwaabheleketanga.
46 And though they had a desire to take him, they were in fear of the people, because in their eyes he was a prophet.
Kwa nneyo gubhaloleyenje mwakwaakamulila, ikabheje bhatendaga kwaajogopanga bhandunji, pabha bhandunji bhamumanyinji kuti ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
