Matthew 21
1 And when they were near Jerusalem, and had come to Beth-phage, to the Mountain of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,
Mu thangu bafikama ku Yelusalemi, batula ku Betefange, buala buidi ku mongo minti mi olive, Yesu wutuma minlonguki miodi ayi
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.
wuba kamba: —Yendanu ku buala bobo buidi ku ntualꞌeno. Buna ma lumona phunda yi nketo yikangama ayi muanꞌandi wu mbakala va ndambu; luzinianguna ayi lundatina ziawu.
3 And if anyone says anything to you, you will say, The Lord has need of them; and straight away he will send them.
Enati mutu wuluyuvudi, buna luvutula: “Pfumu wuzivuidi mfunu”. Buna wela kuzifidisa mu nsualu.
4 Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,
Mambu momo mavangama mu diambu di dedikisa mambu matuba mbikudi:
5 Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and seated on an ass, and on a young ass.
Lukamba kuidi ndumba yi Sioni Tala Ntinuꞌaku wizidi kuidi ngeyo widi wulembama; widi va yilu phunda yi nketo vuendi va mbata muana phunda, muana wu phunda yi nketo.
6 And the disciples went and did as Jesus had given them orders,
Minlonguki miyenda, mivanga boso Yesu kaba kambila.
7 And got the ass and the young one, and put their clothing on them, and he took his seat on it.
Minata phunda yinketo ayi muana phunda, miyala minledi miawu va mbata ziphunda beni bosi Yesu wuvuanda vana.
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.
Nkangu wu batu bawombo bayala minledi miawu mu nzila. Bankaka bazenga matafi ma minti ayi bayala mawu mu nzila.
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.
Nkangu wu batu bobo baba ku ntuala ayi bobo baba ku mbusa, baba yamikinanga: Ozana kuidi Muana wu Davidi! Bika kasakumunu mutu wowo wunkuizila mu dizina di Pfumu Ozana mu bibuangu bizangama!
10 And when he came into Jerusalem, all the town was moved, saying, Who is this?
Bu kakota mu Yelusalemi, divula dioso dinikuka. Bayuvula: —Nani mutu wowo e?
11 And the people said, This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
Nkangu wu batu wuvutula: —Yesu, mbikudi wu Nazaleti mu zunga ki Ngalili!
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.
Yesu wukota mu luphangu lu Nzo Nzambi, wukuka batu boso baba sumba bima. Wusengubula zimeza zi bobo baba sienzanga zimbongo ayi bikundu bi bobo baba nsumbisa mabembi.
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.
Ayi wuba kamba: —Disonama ti Nzo ama yela tedolo Nzo yi lusambulu vayi beno lukitudi yawu suamunu ki mivi.
14 And the blind and the broken in body came to him in the Temple, and he made them well.
Baphofo ayi bantiudikanga bayiza kuidi niandi muna luphangu lu Nzo Nzambi ayi wubabelusa.
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,
Bapfumu zi banganga Nzambi ayi minlongi mi Mina mifuema ngolo bu bamona bikumu biobi bivanga Yesu ayi bu bamona bana baba yamikina mu khati luphangu lu nzo Nzambi ti: “Ozana, kuidi muana Davidi!”
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?
Diawu banyuvudila: —Wulembo wi kuaku mambu momo bana bobo balembo tubi e? Yesu wuba vutudila: —Nyinga! Vayi lutengi ko: Ngeyo wutambula Nzitusu aku mu miunu mi bana balezi ayi nate mu miunu mi bana batsombi?
17 And he went away from them, and went out of the town to Bethany, and was there for the night.
Bosi wubabika, wutotuka mu divula, wuyenda ku Betani kuawu kaleka.
18 Now in the morning when he was coming back to the town, he had a desire for food.
Mu nsuka-nsuka bu kaba mvutuka ku divula, wumona nzala.
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)
Bu kamona nti wumosi wu figi va ndambu nzila, wufikama vaba nti beni vayi meza na meza kaka kamona. Buna wukamba nti beni: —Wulendi buela butanga kadi dikundi dimosi ko! Muna thangu beni nti wu figi wutumbu yuma. (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?
Minlonguki bu mimona bobo, misimina ayi miyuvula: —A buevi nti wowo wuvikidi yumina?
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.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba enati minu kidi yeno ayi enati lulendi memata ko, bika sia ti lubeki kaka buvangila mambu maphengi mu nti wu figi wawu vayi lubeki bukambila kuidi mongo wowo: “Katuka vava, wukiloza mu mbu!” ayi mela vangama.
22 And all things, whatever you make request for in prayer, having faith, you will get.
Mambu mamo malunlomba mu lusambulu, luela matambula enati luwilukidi.
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?
Yesu wukota mu Nzo Nzambi. Mu thangu kaba nlonga, bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi bakulutu ba batu bayiza fikama va kaba ayi banyuvula: —Mu lulendo mbi wulembo vangila mambu momo? Ayi nani wuvana lulendo beni?
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.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Thidi kuluyuvula mamvana kiuvu kimosi. Enati lupheni mvutu, buna bosi minu mamvama ndieka kulukamba mu lulendo mbi ndilembo vangila mambu mama.
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?
Nani wuvana Yowani minsua mu botika, Nzambi voti batu? Batona findana bawu na bawu ziphaka ayi batuba: —Beto kuiza kambi ti “Nzambi” buna maka tukamba ti “bila mbi lumanga kunwilukila?”
26 But if we say, From men; we are in fear of the people, because all take John to be a prophet.
Bosi beto kamba ti “Batu” boma tummona mu diambu di nkangu wu batu bila baboso bazebi ti Yowani widi mbikudi.
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.
Buna bavutudila Yesu: —Tusi zaba ko! Niandi mamvandi wuba kamba: —Minu mamvama ndilendi kulukamba ko kani mu lulendo mbi ndilembo vangilanga mambu momo.
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.
Buevi lumbanza mu diambu diadi? Mutu wumosi wuba ayi bana bandi buadi bababakala. Wuyiza kuidi wutheti ayi wunkamba: “A muanꞌama yenda sadi buabu ku ndima yi vinu!”
29 And he said in answer, I will not: but later, changing his decision, he went.
Muana beni wumvutudila: “Mbengi kuama” Bosi kunzimunina, wubalula mayindu ayi wuyenda.
30 And he came to the second and said the same. And he made answer and said, I go, sir: and went not.
Dise diyenda kuidi muana wummuadi ayi mo mawu mambu kankamba. Niandi wuvutula “Nyinga Tata, ndinkuenda.” Vayi kasi kuenda ko.
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.
Nani wuvanga luzolo lu Dise mu bana babuadi? Bamvutudila: —Muana wutheti. Buna Yesu wuba kamba: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi bandumba leta bela kulutuaminina mu kota mu Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
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.
Bila Yowani wuyiza mu kulumonisa nzila yi busonga vayi lumanga kunwilukila. Muaki mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi bandumba leta banwilukila. Ka diambu ko lumona momo vayi lusia balula mavanga ko muingi ku nzimunina lunwilukila.
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.
—Wanu nongo yinkaka: Mutu wumosi wuba ndimꞌandi yi vinu, wutungila yawu luphangu, wukaba dibulu dimosi mu kamuninanga mimbutu ma vinu. Wutunga nzo yi banga mu diambu di sunganga ndimꞌandi. Wuyekula ndima beni mu mioko mi bisadi bi ndima muingi bayifutilanga; bosi wuyenda mu nzietolo.
34 And when the time for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the workmen, to get the fruit.
Thangu yi mvelongo mimbutu bu yifuana, wutuma bisadi biandi kuidi bisadi biobi kadefisa ndima beni muingi belandi ndambuꞌandi mimbutu.
35 And the workmen made an attack on his servants, giving blows to one, putting another to death, and stoning another.
Vayi minkuni mi ndima yi vinu beni mibuila bisadi biandi: mibeta wumosi, mivonda wunkaka bosi milozila wuntatu matadi.
36 Again, he sent other servants more in number than the first: and they did the same to them.
Pfumu yi ndima vinu beni wutuma bisadi binkaka; lelo bawombo katuma viokila bobo katuama tuma va theti vayi mambu mo mawu bavangulu kuidi bobo kasia bikila ndima.
37 But after that he sent his son to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.
Bosi wuba fidisila muanꞌandi bu katuba ti: bela kinzika muanꞌama.
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.
Vayi minkuni buna mimona muana beni wulembo yizi, mikambasana ti: “Taleno mutu wowo wela vinginina kiuka, yizanu tumvonda muingi kiuka kikituka kieto.”
39 And they took him and, driving him out of the vine-garden, put him to death.
Mimbuila, minkoka ku nganda yi ndima ayi mimvonda.
40 When, then, the lord of the vine-garden comes, what will he do to those workmen?
Buevi lumbanza, thangu pfumu yi ndima yi vinu bu kela vutuka, buevi kela vangila minkuni miomio?
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.
Bamvutudila: —Wela vonda, mu kambu kiadi batu bobo bambimbi. Bosi wela defisa ndima yi vinu beni kuidi minkuni minkaka miomi miela kumvananga mimbutu mu kadika thangu yeti velo mimbutu!
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?
Bosi Yesu wuba kamba: —Kadi khumbu lutengi ko mu masonoko: Ditadi diodi diloza mintungi dikituka ditadi di mfunu, di fuma ki nzo. Pfumu niandi wuvanga buawu. Ayi didi diambu di tsiminanga mu meso meto!
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.
Diawu ndikulukambila ti bela kuluziona Kipfumu ki Nzambi ayi bela vana kiawu kuidi batu bobo bela kibutila mimbutu.
44 Any man falling on this stone will be broken, but he on whom it comes down will be crushed to dust.
Vayi woso mutu wela bua va ditadi beni wela keluka mu bitini, vayi woso wela builu ditadi beni wela mana kosumuka.
45 And when his stories came to the ears of the chief priests and the Pharisees, they saw that he was talking of them.
Buna bamana wa zinongo ziozi, bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi babakula ti Yesu bawu kalembo yolukila.
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.
Batomba nzila yi kunkangila vayi nkangu wu batu baba mona boma bila batu bammona ti niandi widi mbikudi.
