Matthew 21
1 Jesus and his disciples went to Jerusalem. As they were getting close, they came to the village of Bethphage on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two disciples on ahead,
Yesu na abheigisibhwa bhaye nibhakinga yei na Yerusalemu nibhagenda okukinga Bhetifage, kuchima cha Mijeituni, nio Yesu namala nabhatuma abheigisibhwa bhabhili, nabhabhwila ati,
2 telling them, “Go into the village. Right there you'll find a donkey tied up with a colt. Untie them and bring them to me.
“Mugende muchijiji echo echilubhila, mchali kubhusha mwanya omusanga insikiri isibhikilwe ao na akana kayo. Mujisulumule na mujilete kwanye.
3 If anyone asks you what you're doing, just tell them, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and they will send them right away.”
Labha omunu wona wona akabhabhusha chona chona ingulu yo musango ogwo, mwaike ati, 'Omukama kajenda,' na omunuyo obhutabhusha mwanya kabhayana omwanya muje najo.”
4 This was to fulfill what the prophet said:
Ligambo linu lyejile lwa kutyo lyaikilwe okulabha ku mulagi, Ni bhusibhusi likumile. Lwakutyo aikile ati,
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, ‘Look, your King is coming to you. He is humble, and rides a donkey, and a colt, the offspring of a donkey.’”
Bhabhwile abhaasha bha Sayuni, Lola, Omukama wao kaja kwimwe, Ekeyishe na alinyile insikiri, eye chinyara chilume, echinyara ch ilela.
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed.
Nibheya abheigisibhwa nibhagenda nibhakola kutyo Yesu abhalagiliye.
7 They brought back the donkey and the colt. They placed their cloaks on them, and he sat on them.
Nibhaleta insikiri na omwana gwayo, nibhanja emyenda jebhwe kumigongo ja jinsikiri, Yesu neyanjako.
8 Many people in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and laid them on the road.
Abhanu bafu nibhanja emyenda jebhwe munjila, abhandi nibhatema amatabhi ga mati no kuganja munjila.
9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed were all shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
Abhanu bhanu bhaliga bhatandikile na bhanu bhaliga nibhasoka inyuma nibhasekana nibhaika ati Hosana ku mwana wa Daudi! Ayanilwe amabhando ejile kwisina lyo Omukama. Hosana abhe ingulu muno!
10 When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, the whole city was in an uproar. “Who is this?” they were asking.
Yesu ejile akinga Yerusalemu, echikale chona nichitinyuka nichaika ati Unu niga?
11 “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee,” the crowds replied.
“Liijo lya abhanu nilisubhya ati, “Unu ni Yesu Omulagi, okusoka Nazareti ya Galilaya.”
12 Jesus went into the Temple, and threw out all the people buying and selling. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the chairs of the dove-sellers.
Yesu namala nengila muyekalu lya Nyamuanga. Nabhabhilimya bhasokemo bhona bhanu bhaliga nibhagusha nokugula ebhinu muyekalu. Nagalamula jimeja ja bhanu bhaingyaga jimpilya ne bhitebhe bhya abhagusha bha jinjibha.
13 He told them, “Scripture says, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you've turned it into a den of thieves.”
Nabhabhwila ati, “Jandikilwe”, 'Inyumba yani ilitogwa Inyumba ya lisabhwa,' nawe emwe mwaikolele kubha 'eyata lya bhefi'”
14 The blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and he healed them.
Nio abhalema na abhaofu nibhamulubha mwiyekalu, omwene nabhaosha.
15 But when the chief priests and religious teachers saw the wonderful miracles he did, and the children shouting in the Temple, “Hosanna to the son of David,” they were offended. “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.
Nawe abhakulu bha abhagabhisi na abhandiki bhejile bhalola ebhilugusho ebhyo akolele, na bhejile bhongwa abhana nibhayoganila mwiyekalu nibhaikaga ati, “Hosana ku Mwana wa Daudi,” nibhagwatwa nebhinyiga.
16 “Yes,” Jesus replied. “Haven't you ever read the Scripture that says, ‘You arranged for children and infants to give you perfect praise’?”
Nibhamubhwila ati, “Oungwa chinu echaikwa na abhanu bhanu?” Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Yee! Mbe nawe muchaliga kusoma, okusoka muminwa ja abhana na abhana abhalela wanu abhanena galimo amakumusho ganu gengene.”
17 Jesus left them and went out of the city to stay at Bethany.
Neya Yesu nabhasiga nagenda Betaniya anja yo omusi namama eyo.
18 The next morning as he walked back into the city, he was hungry.
Ao aliganasubha muchikale katondo, aliga alinomweko.
19 He saw a fig tree at the side of the road, so he went over to it but didn't find any fruit, only leaves. He told the fig tree, “May you never ever produce fruit again!” Immediately the fig tree withered. (aiōn g165)
Mbe nalola liti elyo mtini kungego ya injila. Nalijako, nawe atabhweneko chinu chonachona tali amabhabhi genyele. Nalibhwila ati, “Utasubha kutwasha amatwasho lindi.” Akatungu akwako litini elyo nilyuma. (aiōn g165)
20 The disciples were amazed to see this. “How did the fig tree wither so suddenly?” they asked.
Abheigibhwa bhejile bhalola kutyo nibhalugula nokwaika ati, “Jabha kutiki okukingila omutini gume lugendo lumwi?”
21 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “If you really trust in God, and don't doubt him, you could not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even more. If you said to this mountain, ‘Get up and throw yourself into the sea,’ it would happen!
Yesu nabhasubhya kwokubhabhwila ati, “Ni chimali enibhabhwila ati, labha mkabha muli nelikilisha mtali na wasiwasi, mutalikola linu lyakolekana ku mutini ogwo ela, nawe mulibhwila nolwo echima echo, 'nugegwe na ulaswe munyanja,' na elikolekana.
22 You will receive everything you ask for in prayer, as long as you trust in God.”
Lyonalyona elyo mulisabhwa, enu mwikilisishe, omulamila.”
23 Jesus went into the Temple. The chief priests and the ruling elders of the people came to him while he was teaching and asked, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority?”
Yesu ejile akakinga mwiyekalu, abhakulu bha abhagabhisi na abhakaruka bha imbaga nibhamujako ao aliga neigisha nibhamubhusha ati, “Oukola amagambo ganu kwa bhutolo bhwa namunaki?”
24 “I too will ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “If you give me the answer, I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Yesu nabhasubhya nokubhabhusha ati, “Anyona enibhabhusha libhusho limwi, labha mkambwila, anyona omwomwo enibhabhwila enikola amagambo ganu kwa bhutuloki.
25 Where did the baptism of John come from? Was it from heaven, or was it from human beings?” They argued with each other. “If we say ‘it was from heaven,’ then he'll ask us why we didn't believe him.
“Ubhubhatijo bhwa Yoana bhwasokele aki, mulwire amo kubhana bhanu?” Nibhabhushanya abhene kwa bhene, nibhaika, “chikaika ati bhwasokele mulwire, kaja okuchibhwila ati kubhaki mutamwikilisishe?
26 But if we say, ‘it was from human beings,’ then the crowd will turn against us, because they all consider John to be a prophet.”
Nawe chikaika ati bhwasokele kubhana bhanu, mbe chubhaye abhanu kulwokubha bhona bhanu abhalola nkanikwo Yoana ni mulagi.”
27 So they answered Jesus, “We don't know.” “Then I won't tell you by what authority I'm doing these things,” Jesus replied.
Ni bhamala nibhamusubhya Yesu nibhaika ati, “Chitakumenya.” Omwene on nabhasubhya ati, “Nolwo anye ona nitabhabhwila amanaga ganu enikolela amagambo ganu.”
28 “But what do you think about this illustration? Once there was a man who had two sons. He went to the first son, and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’
“Nawe omwiganilisha kutiki? Aliga alio omunu umwi ali nabhana bhabhili. Mbe nagenda kuwokwamba namubhwila ati, 'Mwana wani, lelo genda ukole emilimu mwisambu lye emijabhibhu.'”'Omwana waye namusubhya ati,
29 The son answered, ‘I won't,’ but afterwards he was sorry for what he said and he did go.
'Nitakujayo.' Nawe namala naindula omwoyo gwaye nagenda.
30 The man went to the second son, and told him the same thing. He replied, ‘I'll go,’ but he didn't.
Omunu oyo nagenda ku mwana wakabhili namubhwila lwakutyo abhwiliye owo kwamba. Unu namubhwila ati, 'Enigenda, lata,' nawe atagendele.
31 Which of the two sons did what his father wanted?” “The first,” they answered. “I tell you the truth: tax-collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you,” Jesus told them.
“Mbe niga Unu akolele ejo esemwene aliga nenda.” Nibhasubya ati, “Omwana wo kwamba.” Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Enibhabhwila echimali abhatobhesha bha ligoti na abhasimbe bha mubhilabho bhalibhelabhila okwingila mubhukama bhwa Nyamuanga.
32 “John came to show you the way to live right with God, and you didn't believe him, but the tax-collectors and prostitutes did believe him. Later, when you saw what happened, you still didn't repent and believe him.
Kulwokubha Yoana ejile kunjila igololokele, nawe mutamwikilisishe, ka abhatobhesha bha ligoti na abhasimbe bha mubhilabho nibhamwikilisha. Emwe mwejile mwalola echo kutyo, nimusingwa okuta ebhibhi koleleki mumwikilishe.
33 Here's another illustration. There once was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard. He put a fence around it, made a winepress, and built a watchtower. He rented it to some tenant farmers, and then left to go to a different country.
Mbe mutegeleshe echijejekanyo echindi. Aliga aliwo omunu ali na lisambu enene. Aliga ayambile emijabhibhu, asingilisishe olugo, ateyemo na litwangilo lyokukamulila idivai, ombakilemo no olugujo lwa abhalindi na alikodesishe lisambu kubhanu bhanu abhalyangalila. Namala nasokao nagenda muchalo chindi.
34 At harvest time, he sent his servants to the farmers to collect the fruit that belonged to him.
Akatungu akokunogola amatwasho get emijabhibhu kejile kakinga, nabhatuma abhakosi bhandi kubhalimi bhe emijabhibhu koleleki bhamugegele amatwasho gaye.
35 But the farmers attacked his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
Nawe abhalimi bhe emijabhibhu nibhabhagega abhakosi bhaye, nibhamubhuma oumwi webhwe, oumwi nibhamwita no oundi nibhamulasa na amabhui.
36 So he sent more servants, but the farmers did the same things to them.
Olugendo lundi, nasubha okutuma abhakosi bhandi bhafu okukila abhokwamba, nawe abhalimi bhe emijabhibhu nibhabhakolela amabhibhi lwa bhaliya.
37 So then he sent his son. ‘They will respect my son,’ he told himself.
Nio neya nalamula natuma omwana waye, naika ati, 'Abhamuyana echibhalo omwana wani.'
38 But the farmers, when they saw the son, said to each other, ‘Here's the heir! Come on! Let's kill him so we can take his inheritance!’
Nawe bhejile bhamulola omusigaji oyo, nibhaikana ati, 'Unu niwe kalya omwandu, Muje chimwite chigege omwandu.'
39 They grabbed him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
Kulwejo nibhamugega, nibhamulasa anja ya lisambu lye emijabhibhu nibhamwita.
40 When the vineyard owner returns, what will he do to those farmers?”
Mbe enibhusha, Kanye esambu elye mijabhibhu alibha aja, alibhakolela abhalimi abho?”
41 The chief priests and elders said to Jesus, “He will put to death those wicked men in the most awful way, and rent out the vineyard to other farmers who will be sure to give him his fruit at harvest time.”
Nibhamubhwila ati, “alibhasingalisha abhanyamuke abho kwa lisungu enene, akamala natisha lisambu kubhalimi abhandi abhe emijabhibhu, bhanu bhalibha a nibhaliila emijabhibhu akatungu kokuisha.”
42 “So haven't you read this in the Scriptures?” Jesus asked them. “‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.’
Mbe Yesu nabhabhwila ati, “Mutasomele Amandiko amelu, 'libhui linu bhalemele abhombaki nilibha ebhui enene elyo omusingi. Linu lyasokele ku Mukama, na elilugusha ameso geswe?”
43 That's why I'm telling you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you. It will be given to a people who produce the right kind of fruit.
Kulwejo enibhabhwila kutiya, Obhukama bhwa Mungu bhuligegwa okusoka kwemwe nibhayabhwa liyanga linu elimenya amatwasho go obhukama obhwo.
44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken, but it will completely crush anyone it falls upon.”
Wona wona unu kagwa kwibhui elyo kabhutuka mabhala bhala.”
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his illustrations, they realized he was speaking about them.
Mbe abhakulu bha abhagabhisi na abhafarisayo bhejile bhongwa ebhijejekanyo bhaye, ni bheyungwa ati kalomelela abhene.
46 They wanted him arrested, but they were afraid of what the people would do because the people believed he was a prophet.
Nawe ao bhendelaga okumugwata, bhobhayaga liijo lya abhanu, kulwokubha abhanu bhamulolaga kuti ni mulagi.
