Matthew 21
1 And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaŵandichile ku Yelusalemu, ni paŵaiche ku Besefage pachikwesya cha Miseituni, ŵatumile ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili.
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.
Ŵaasalile, “Njaule kunsinda wauli mmbujo mwenu, ni kweleko chinkajisimane mbunda jajitaŵikwe ni mwanambunda pamo najo. Nkaagopole njise nawo kwangune.
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.
Iŵaga chakammusye mundu ligongo lya kwagopola, nkajile, ‘Ambuje akusisaka,’ ni pangakaŵa chakannechele.”
4 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
Ali lyatendekwe kuti gamalile gaŵaŵechete jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
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.
“Mwasalile ŵandu ŵa musi wa Sayuni, Nnole, Mwenye jwenu akunnyichilila! Atulele, ni akwesile mbunda, ni mwanambunda, chinyama chachikujigala itutule.”
6 And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.
Ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵajawile, ŵatesile mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu.
7 And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon.
Ŵajiichenawo mbunda ni mwanambunda, ŵatandiche nguo syao pachanya pawo ni Che Yesu ŵatemi pachanya pakwe.
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:
Mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu watandiche nguo syao mwitala, ni ŵane ŵakatile nyambi sya mwana sya itela ni ŵatandiche mwitala.
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.
Mipingo ja ŵandu ŵaŵalongolele ni ŵaŵakuiye ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Ajinichilwe Mwana ju che Daudi, Akole upile jwele jwakwika mu liina lya Ambuje! Ajinichilwe Akunnungu ŵaali kwinani!”
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this?
Che Yesu paŵajinjilaga ku Yelusalemu, ŵandu ŵa musi wose ŵaliji jugulijuguli. Ŵandu ŵaliji nkuusyana, “Ana aju ali nduni?”
11 And the people said: This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.
Ŵandu mu mpingo ula ŵatite, “Ŵeleŵa ni Che Yesu, jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu kutyochela ku Nasaleti musi wa ku Galilaya.”
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:
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵajinjile mu lutenje lwa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵaaŵinjile ŵanawose uŵasumisyaga ni kusuma malonda pepala, ŵapitikwisye mesa sya ŵaŵasumanyaga mbiya, ni itengu yao ŵaŵasumisyaga nguunda.
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.
Ŵaasalile, “Ilembekwe Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Nyuumba jangu chijiŵilanjikwe nyuumba ja kupopelela.’ Nambo ŵanyamwe njitesile peuto pakulisisila ŵa wiyi.”
14 And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple; and he healed them.
Ŵangalola ni ŵakulemala ŵanjaulile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, nombe Che Yesu ŵalamisye.
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.
Achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo paŵaiweni indu yambone nnope iŵaitesile Che Yesu ni ŵanache ali nkunyanyisya pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu achitiji, “Ajinichilwe Mwana ju che Daudi,” ŵanyawo ŵatumbile.
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?
Ŵausisye, “Uli ngankupilikana yakuti ŵanache?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Elo, ngupikana! Ana nganinsyome Maloŵe ga? ‘Kutyochela nkang'wa sya ŵanache achanandi ni ŵakonga, nlipatile lumbili lwemalilwe.’”
17 And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania, and remained there.
Nipele, ŵalesile, ŵakopweche mmusi ni kwaula ku Besania ni kugona kweleko.
18 And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry.
Kundaŵi, Che Yesu paŵaujaga kwaula ku Yelusalemu, jakwete sala.
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)
Ŵauweni ntini mungulugulu litala, ŵaujaulile, nambo nganachisimana chindu mwelemo, ŵausimene uli masamba pe. Ŵausalile, “Nkasogola isogosi sooni moŵa gose pangali mbesi!” Papopo nkuju wo wanyasile. (aiōn g165)
20 And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?
Ŵakulijiganya paŵauweni, ŵasimosile, ŵaliusisye, “Ntini u ujumwile chinauli chitema kwantinyi?”
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.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ngunsalila isyene, mwaŵaga ni chikulupi pangali lipamba lili lyose, chinkombole kupanganya ngaŵa yeleyo pe yaitendekwe mu chitela cha ntini, nambo atamuno mwachisalilaga achi chitumbi chi, ‘Ntupuche ni kuliponya mu bahali,’ chiitendekwe iyoyo.
22 And in all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
Mwakolaga chikulupi, chachilichose chachimmende nkupopela, chimpate.”
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?
Che Yesu ŵajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ni kwiganya. Paŵajiganyaga, achakulu ŵa mbopesi ni achakulu ŵane ŵa ŵandu ŵausisye kuti, “Ana kwa ukombole chi nkutenda yele indu yi? Ŵaani ŵampele wele ukombole u?”
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.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “None chinammusye liusyo limo pe, mwanyangaga, nipele, none chinansalile kwa ukombole chi nguitenda indu yi.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying:
Uli ukombole u che Yohana wa kubatisya watyochele kwapi? Watyochele kwinani pane kwa ŵandu?” Nambo ŵaŵechetesyene achinsyene pe achitiji, “Twajilaga, ‘Watyosile kwinani,’ chatuusye, ‘Nambi kwachichi nganimunkulupilila?’
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.
Nambo twajilaga, ‘Watyochele kwa ŵandu,’ tukogopa mpingo wa ŵandu pakuŵa ŵanawose akwitichisya kuti che Yohana ali jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.”
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.
Nipele, ŵajanjile, “Ngatukumanyilila!” Nombe Che Yesu ŵatite, “Atamuno une ngangunsalila ŵanyamwe kwa ukombole chi nguitenda indu yi.
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.
“Ŵanyamwe nkuganisya uli? Mundu jumo ŵakwete achachanda ŵaŵili. Ŵantendele jwaandanda jo kuti, ‘Mwanangu, lelo njaule nkapanganye masengo mungunda wa sabibu.’
29 And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went.
Nchanda jo ŵajanjile, ‘Ngangusaka!’ Nambo kanyuma kakwe ŵapitikwiche ntima, ŵajawile kupanganya masengo.
30 And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not.
Atati ŵala ŵanjaulile mwanagwe jwaaŵili jo ni kunsalila ilaila, nombe ŵajanjile ŵatite, ‘Elo, atati!’ Nambo nganajaula kumasengo.
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.
Ana jwapi jwa ŵele ŵaŵili wo jwatesile yakuisaka atatigwe?” Ŵajanjile, “Jwanchanda jwaandanda jo.” Che Yesu ŵatite, “Ngunsalila isyene, ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵakulaŵalaŵa chajinjile mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu nkanaŵe kwinjila.
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.
Pakuŵa che Yohana ŵaiche kukwenu ni kunnanjila kutama yambone nti yakuti pakusaka Akunnungu, ni ŵanyamwe nganimunkulupilila, nambo ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵakulaŵalaŵa ŵankulupilile. Ni ŵanyamwe pammasile kugawona gele nganinleka sambi ni kunkulupilila.”
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.
Che Yesu ŵatite, “Mpilikanile chitagu chine. Jwapali mundu jumo nsyene nyuumba ŵalimile ngunda wa sabibu, ŵausyunguchisye lutenje ni ŵakolosisye pakuminyila sabibu, ŵataŵile chilindo mmomopemo. Nipele ŵaujasimisye kwa ŵakulima ni kwaula ku chilambo cha kutalika.
34 And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.
Katema ka kugungula, ŵatumile achikapolo ŵao kwa ŵakulima ŵala, kuti akajigale liunjili lyakwe lya magungulo.
35 And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Ŵakulima ŵala ŵakamwile achikapolo ŵao, jumo ŵamputile, ni jwine ŵammuleje, ni jwine ŵamponyile maganga.
36 Again he sent other servants more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.
Sooni ŵatumile achikapolo ŵane ŵajinji kupunda ŵa kundanda. Ŵakulima ŵala ŵajasime ngunda ŵatendele ilaila.
37 And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.
Kumbesi kwakwe ŵantumile mwanagwe achiganisyaga mu ntima wakwe achitiji, ‘Chakanchimbichisye mwanangu.’
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.
Nambo ŵakulima ŵala paŵammweni mwanagwao ŵaŵechetesyene achinsyene pe, ‘Aju ni juchapochele iŵagosele, twende tummulaje kuti indu iŵagosele tujigale uwe!’
39 And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
Nipele, ŵankamwile, ŵantyosisye paasa ngunda wa sabibu, ŵammuleje.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
“Sambano, nsyene ngunda wa sabibu jula pachachiika, chachatenda ichichi ŵakulima ŵala?”
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.
Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Chachajonanga wamba ŵele ŵachigongomalo wo ni ngunda wa sabibu ula chachiujasimisya kwa ŵakulima ŵane uchachapa liunjili lyakwe lya magungulo kwa katema kakwe.”
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.
Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uli ana nganinsyome lye liloŵe li Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu? ‘Liganga liŵalikanile ŵakutaŵa sambano lilyolyo lili lyetendekwe liganga lyalikusachilwa kwannope kugapunda maganga gose. Ambuje ni ŵatesile achi chindu chi, nombe chili chakusimonjeka nnope kwetuwe!’
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.
“Kwayele ngunsalila, Umwenye wa Akunnungu chiutyosekwe kukwenu, ni kupegwa ŵandu ŵakupanganya yakuisaka Akunnungu.”
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
Jwalijose juchagwilile pa liganga lyo chakasiche ipande ipande, ni jwalijose juchilyagwilile, chilinkanyatekanyate.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
Achakulu ŵa mbopesi ni Mafalisayo paŵapilikene itagu yao, ŵamanyilile kuti ŵaliji nkwagamba ŵanyawo.
46 And seeking to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes: because they held him as a prophet.
Nipele ŵasosaga litala lya kwakamula, nambo ŵajogwepe ŵandu pakuŵa ŵanyawo ŵanganisisye nti jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
