Matthew 21
1 And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Awo Jesu abasikwiya bakwe nibakasika ku Jelusalema alubo bakakusika ku Bbetipegi, kukalundu ka Olivusi, mpawo Jesu wakatuma basikwiya bakwe bobile,
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.
wakati kuli mbao, “Kamuya kumunzi ulikunembo, alimwi muyofwambana kubona donki lyangidwe nkuko, alubo akana kelyo. Mwawangunune mwalete kulindime.
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.
Kuti kwaba utabe achakwamba atala angawo, mukambe kuti, 'Mwami ulayanda,'alimwi oyo muntu uyofwambana kumupa ngawo.
4 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
'Lino kwakaba kuti ezyo zyakali zyambwa kwinda kumusinsimi zizuzikizigwe. Wakati,
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.
“Ambila mwana musimbi we Zioni, 'Langa, Mwami wanu ulaza kulindinywe, Ulibombede alimwi ulitantide a donki, Akukana ka donki, mwana we donki.”
6 And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.
Mpawo basikwiya bakinka bakuchita mbunya Jesu mbwakabalayililide.
7 And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon.
Bakakuleta donki akana alubo bakabika zikobela zyabo a donki, alimwi Jesu Jesu wakakkala ajulu azikobela.
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:
Makamumakamu manji akayala zikobela zyabo mumugwagwa, alimwi bamwi bakagonka ntabi zyamisamu akuyobuyala mumugwagwa.
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.
Mpawo makamu akenda kunembo lya Jesu alubo abaabo bakali kuyobutobela kabayobompolola, “Hosana kumwana wa Davida!” Ulongezezegwe ngoyo uuza muzina lya Mwami! Hosana kuli simajulu!”
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this?
Elyo Jesu nakasika ku Jelusalema, idolopo lyoonse lyakali lyanyonganisigwa akwamba kuti, “Ngwani oyu?”
11 And the people said: This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.
Makamumakamu akasandula, “Oyu ngu Jesu musinsimi uzwa waku Nazaleta mu Galili.”
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:
Mpwo Jesu wakanjila mungánda ya Leza. Wakaandilanze boonse abo bakali kuula akuuzya mungánda ya Leza, alubo wakasandamuna matafula abasikuzizya mali alubo azikkalo zyababo bakali kuzya nziba.
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.
Wakati kulimbabo, “Kulilembedwe, 'Ngánda yangu iyowambwa kuti ngánda yakukambya; pesi mwayichita kuti ibe chikkalilo chababb.”
14 And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple; and he healed them.
Mpawo mofu achilima bakeza kulinguwe mungánda ya Leza, alubo wakabaponya.
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.
Pesi elyo bapayiza bapati alubo abalembi bamulawu nibakabona zintu nzyakachita, alubo elyo nibakamvwa bana balompolola mungánda yaLeza alubo balamba, “Hosana kumwana a Davida, “bakaba akunyema kupati.
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?
Bakati kulinguwe, “Ulibamvwide na kuti balikutyeni Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Iyii! Pesi takwe nimwakabalide, 'kuzwa kumilomo yabana banini atunyonka wakabamba intembawuzyo'?”
17 And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania, and remained there.
Mpawo Jesu wakabasiya alubo akuzwa mudolopo lya Bbetani akumana busiku nkuko.
18 And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry.
Lino kuseni wakayinka nakali kujokela kudolopo, wakali waba anzala.
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)
Nakabona mukuyu munsi lyamugwagwa, wakayinka kulinguwo akujana kakutakwe chintu kuli nguwo kunze kwamatu. Wakaamba kuti kulinguwo, “Kutakabi kuti kukabe michelo lubo kuzwa kulinduwe alimbi,” alubo mponya awo mukuyu wakapusama. (aiōn g165)
20 And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?
Elyo basikwiya nibakawubona, bakagamba akwamba bati, “Ibiyeni mukuyu wapusama mpawonyaawa?”
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.
Jesu wakasandula akwamba kulimbabo, “Masimpe ndamba kulindinywe, na mulijisi lusyomo alubo kamutadoneki, tamukwe nimuyochita zyakachitwa amukuyu biyo pe, pesi muyowamba nikuba kuchilundu echi, 'Zyukuka akuwalwa mulwizi; alubo ziyochitika.
22 And in all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
Kufumbwa nchimuyolomba munkombyo, chakuzumina, muyozitambula.”
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?
Elyo Jesu nakasika mungánda yaLeza. Bapayizi bapati antomwe abapati babantu bakasika kulinguwe kali mukuyisya basikuti, “Anguzu nzi nzyochitya zintu ezi, alubo ngwani wakakupa nguzu ezi?”
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.
Jesu wakasandula akwamba kulimbabo, “Ambebo ndilamubuzya mubuzyo umwi. Na mwandambila, ndiyomwambila kuti nkunguzunzi nzindichitya ezi.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying:
Lubbabbatizyo lwaJoni - nkukuli nkulwakazwa? Lwakazwa kujulu na kuti nkubantu?” Bakambuzyania akati kabo, bakati,
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.
“Na tutedi, Luzwa kujulu,' Ulamba kuti kulindiswe, 'Nkambonzi mpo nimwakatamusyoma?'Pesi na tutedi nkubantu,'tuyowa nkamu yabantu nkambo boonse babona Joni mbuli musinsimi.”
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.
Mpawo bakasandula Jesu alubo bati, “Tatuzi pe.” Wakamba alimwi kulimbabo, “Nsikwe nensikamwambile ambebo kuti ninguzunzi nzindichitya azyozintu ezi.
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.
Pesi muyeyaanzi mwalumi wakali abana balombe babili. Wakaya kumutanzi alubo wakati, “mwanangu, koya ukabeleke sunu mumunda wamasansa.
29 And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went.
“Mwana wakasandula wati, “Tandiinki, pesi mukuya kwachiindi wakasandula mizezo yakwe wakinka.
30 And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not.
Mpawo mwalumi wakaya kumwana wachibili akwamba chintu chikozyenie. Wakasandula wati, 'Ndilayinka, 'Ta; pesi takwe nakinka pe.
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.
Nguuli mubana babili aba wakachita kuyanda kwawisi?” Bakati, “Mutanzi.” Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Masimpe ndaamba kulindinywe, basimutelo abasimamambe bayonjila mubwami bwa Leza kamutana kunjila.
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.
Nkambo Joni wakeza kulindinywe minzila yabululami, pesitemwakamusyoma pe. Pesi basimutelo abasimamambe bakamusyoma. Pesi nywebo, nikuba elyo mwakazibona ezi, temwakeempwa mukuya kwachindi alubo temwakamusyoma.
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.
“Amuswilile kuli ambi mambilambali. Kwakali umwi mwalumi, mukamwini munda wakabyala masansa, wakayaka lubaya alinguwo; wasikusya chikandilo mukati kawo, wayaka ngánda yamujulu, alubo wakayiboleka kuli basikulima masansa. Mpawo wakaya kulichimwi chisi
34 And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.
Elyo chiindi chakutebulwa kwamasansa nichakasika, wakatuma bamwi babelesi kuli basikulimina masansa kuti bakabweze michelo yakwe.
35 And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Pesi basikulimina masansa bakabweza babelesi bakwe bawuma umwi, bajaya awumwi, alubo bamutulula mabwe.
36 Again he sent other servants more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.
Alubo, mwanimunda wakatuma bambi babelesi bayingi kwinda batanzi, pesi basikulimina masansa bakabajata zikozyenie.
37 And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.
Kwiinda awo, mwanimunda wakazotuma mwanakwe kulimbabo, kuti, 'Bayo mulemeka 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.
“Pesi elyo balimi bamasansa nibakabona mwana, bakati akati kabo, 'Ngoyu sikukona. Mubole, muleke tumujaye akubweza lukono.
39 And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
'Nkinkako bakamubweza, bamusowela kunze amuunda akumujaya.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
Lino elyo mwanimunda asika, ninzi nchayochita abo balimi bamasansa?”
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.
Bakati kulinguwe, “Uyonyonyona abo baalumi babuyo muli imwi nzila njumu, alubo uyobatandila aanze amuunda akubika bambi basikulimina masansa, bantu bayomupa chabilo chazilimwa kuchiindi chakuyebula.”
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.
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Sena temwakabala mumalembe, Íbbwe bayaki ndibakakaka lyakachitwa munsemo. Echi chakazwa ku Mwami, alubo zilagambya mumeso esu'?
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.
Nkinkako ndamba kuti kulindinywe, bwami bwa Leza buyobwezwa kuzwa kulindinywe akuyopegwa kuchisi chiyopanga michelo yacho.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
Kufumbwa uwida atala abbwe eli ulakutyoka kuba tumpanzi, pesi umwi ngulitawide atala ulakupwasuka.”
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
Elyo bapayizi bapati aba Falisi nibakamvwa mambilambali akwe, bakamvwisisisya kuti wakalikwamba ataala ambabo.
46 And seeking to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes: because they held him as a prophet.
Bakayandula kumwanga, pesi bakayoowa makamu abantu, nkambo bantu bakali mujisi mbuli musinsiimi.
