Matthew 21
1 And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Akuyandikira ku Yerusalemu anafika ku Betifage pa phiri la Olivi, Yesu anatumiza ophunzira awiri,
2 Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me.
nawawuza kuti, “Pitani ku mudzi uli patsogolo panu, ndipo mukakangolowa mʼmenemo mukapeza bulu womangidwa ali ndi mwana pa mbali pake. Mukawamasule ndipo mubwere nawo kwa Ine.
3 And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them: and forthwith he will let them go.
Wina akakayankhula, mukamuwuze kuti Ambuye akuwafuna, ndipo adzawatumiza nthawi yomweyo.”
4 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
Izi zinachitika kukwaniritsa zimene zinayankhulidwa ndi mneneri:
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.
“Uza mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, taona, mfumu yako ikubwera kwa iwe, yofatsa ndi yokwera pa bulu, pa kamwana ka bulu, mwana wa nyama yonyamula katundu.”
6 And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.
Ophunzirawo anapita nachita monga Yesu anawalamulira.
7 And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon.
Anabweretsa bulu ndi mwana wake, nayala zovala zawo pa abuluwo, ndipo Yesu anakwerapo.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way:
Gulu lalikulu la anthu linayala zovala zawo mu msewu pamene ena anadula nthambi zamitengo ndi kuziyala mu msewumo.
9 And the multitudes that went before and that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
Magulu amene anali patsogolo pake ndi amene amamutsatira anafuwula kuti, “Hosana Mwana wa Davide!” “Wodala Iye amene abwera mʼdzina la Ambuye!” “Hosana mmwambamwamba!”
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this?
Yesu atalowa mu Yerusalemu, mzinda wonse unatekeseka ndipo anthu anafunsa kuti, “Ndani ameneyu?”
11 And the people said: This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.
Magulu a anthu anayankha kuti, “Uyu ndi Yesu, mneneri wochokera ku Nazareti.”
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves:
Yesu analowa mʼdera lina la Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo anatulutsa kunja anthu onse amene ankachita malonda. Anagubuduza matebulo a osinthira ndalama ndi mipando ya ogulitsa nkhunda.
13 And he saith to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.
Iye anawawuza kuti, “Zinalembedwa kuti Nyumba yanga idzatchedwa Nyumba ya mapemphero koma inu mwayisandutsa phanga la anthu achifwamba.”
14 And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple; and he healed them.
Anthu osaona ndi olumala anabwera kwa Iye mʼNyumba ya Mulungu ndipo anawachiritsa.
15 And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying: Hosanna to the son of David; were moved with indignation.
Koma akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo ataona zodabwitsa zimene anachita, komanso ana akufuwula mʼNyumbayo kuti, “Hosana kwa Mwana wa Davide,” anapsa mtima.
16 And said to him: Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yea, have you never read: Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
Anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi mukumva zimene anawa akunena?” Yesu anayankha nati, “Inde. Kodi simunawerenge kuti, “Kuchokera mʼkamwa mwa ana ndi makanda mwatuluka mayamiko?”
17 And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania, and remained there.
Ndipo anawasiya natuluka mu mzindawo ndi kupita ku Betaniya, kumene anakagona.
18 And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry.
Mmamawa, pamene amabwera ku mzinda, anamva njala.
19 And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only, and he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
Ataona mtengo wamkuyu mʼmbali mwa msewu, anapitapo koma sanapeze kanthu koma masamba okhaokha. Pamenepo anati kwa mtengowo, “Usadzabalenso chipatso!” Nthawi yomweyo mtengowo unafota. (aiōn g165)
20 And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?
Ophunzira ataona zimenezi, anadabwa nafunsa kuti, “Kodi mtengo wamkuyuwu wauma msanga bwanji?”
21 And Jesus answering, said to them: Amen, I say to you, if you shall have faith, and stagger not, not only this of the fig tree shall you do, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take up and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done.
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti ngati muli ndi chikhulupiriro ndipo simukayika, simudzangochita zokha zachitika kwa mkuyuzi, koma mudzatha kuwuza phiri ili kuti, ‘Pita, kadziponye wekha mʼnyanja,’ ndipo zidzachitikadi.
22 And in all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
Ngati mukhulupirira, mudzalandira chilichonse chimene muchipempha mʼpemphero.”
23 And when he was come into the temple, there came to him, as he was teaching, the chief priests and ancients of the people, saying: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority?
Yesu analowa mʼNyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo pamene ankaphunzitsa, akulu a ansembe ndi akuluakulu anabwera kwa Iye namufunsa kuti, “Muchita izi ndi ulamuliro wanji ndipo anakupatsani ndani ulamuliro umenewu?”
24 Jesus answering, said to them: I also will ask you one word, which if you shall tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Inenso ndikufunsani funso limodzi, mukandiyankha, Inenso ndikukuwuzani ndi ulamuliro wa yani umene ndikuchitira izi.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying:
Ubatizo wa Yohane unachokera kuti? Kumwamba kapena kwa anthu?” Anakambirana pakati pawo ndipo anati, “Tikati, ‘Kuchokera kumwamba,’ Iye adzafunsa kuti, ‘Bwanji simunakhulupirire?’
26 If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? But if we shall say, from men, we are afraid of the multitude: for all held John as a prophet.
Koma tikati, ‘Kuchokera kwa anthu,’ ife tikuopa anthuwa, pakuti onse amakhulupirira kuti Yohane anali mneneri.”
27 And answering Jesus, they said: We know not. He also said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Choncho anamuwuza Yesu kuti, “Sitikudziwa.” Pamenepo Iye anati, “Inenso sindikuwuzani kuti ndi ulamuliro wa yani umene ndichitira izi.”
28 But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work today in my vineyard.
“Kodi muganiza bwanji? Panali munthu wina anali ndi ana aamuna awiri. Anapita kwa woyamba nati, ‘Mwanawe pita kagwire ntchito lero mʼmunda wamphesa.’
29 And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went.
“Iye anayankha kuti, ‘Sindipita,’ koma pambuyo pake anasintha maganizo napita.
30 And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not.
“Kenaka abambowo anapita kwa mwana winayo nanena chimodzimodzi. Iye anayankha kuti, ‘Ndipita abambo,’ koma sanapite.
31 Which of the two did the father’s will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you.
“Ndani wa awiriwa anachita chimene abambo ake amafuna?” Anamuyankha nati, “Woyambayo.” Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Ndikuwuzani zoonadi, kuti amisonkho ndi adama akulowa mu ufumu wa Mulungu inu musanalowemo.”
32 For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him.
Pakuti Yohane anabwera kwa inu kuti akuonetseni njira yachilungamo, koma inu simunakhulupirire iye, koma amisonkho ndi adama anamukhulupirira. Koma ngakhale munaona izi, simunatembenuke mtima ndi kumukhulupirira iye.
33 Hear ye another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into a strange country.
“Tamverani fanizo lina: Panali mwini munda amene anadzala mphesa. Anamanga mpanda kuzungulira mundawo, nakumba moponderamo mphesa ndipo anamanga nsanja. Kenaka anabwereketsa munda wamphesawo kwa alimi ena napita pa ulendo.
34 And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.
Pamene nthawi yokolola inakwana, anatumiza antchito ake kwa matenanti aja kuti akatenge zipatso zake.
35 And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
“Alimi aja anagwira antchito ake; namenya mmodzi, napha wina, ndi kumuponya miyala wachitatuyo.
36 Again he sent other servants more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.
Kenaka anatumiza antchito ena oposa oyambawo ndipo matenantiwo anawachitira chimodzimodzi.
37 And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.
Pomalizira anatumiza mwana wake. Anati adzamuchitira ulemu mwana wanga.
38 But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.
“Koma alimiwo ataona mwanayo anati kwa wina ndi mnzake, ‘Uyu ndiye olowa mʼmalo mwa abambo ake. Tiyeni timuphe ndipo titenge cholowa chake.’
39 And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
Pamenepo anamutenga namuponyera kunja kwa munda wamphesa namupha.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
“Tsono akabwera mwini munda wamphesa adzachita nawo chiyani matenantiwo?”
41 They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end; and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in due season.
Iwo anayankha kuti, “Adzawapha moyipa alimi oyipawo ndipo adzabwereketsa mundawo kwa alimi ena amene adzamupatsa gawo lake la mbewu pa nthawi yokolola.”
42 Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes.
Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Kodi simunawerenge mʼmalemba kuti: “‘Mwala umene omanga nyumba anawukana, womwewo wasanduka mwala wofunika kwambiri wa pa ngodya. Ambuye wachita izi, ndipo ndi zodabwitsa mʼmaso mwathu.’
43 Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.
“Nʼchifukwa chake ndi kukuwuzani kuti ufumu wa Mulungu udzalandidwa kwa inu ndipo udzapatsidwa kwa anthu amene adzabereka chipatso chake.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
Amene agwa pa mwalawu adzadukaduka, ndipo amene udzamugwere udzamuthudzula.”
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
Akulu a ansembe ndi Afarisi atamva mafanizo a Yesu, anadziwa kuti ankanena iwo.
46 And seeking to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes: because they held him as a prophet.
Pamenepo anafuna njira yoti amugwirire, koma anaopa gulu la anthu chifukwa anthu onse ankakhulupirira kuti Iye anali mneneri.
