Matthew 21
1 When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent away two disciples,
Na rĩrĩa maakuhĩrĩirie Jerusalemu, maakinya itũũra rĩa Bethifage kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ-rĩ, Jesũ agĩtũma arutwo ake eerĩ,
2 saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and you will immediately find a donkey tied, and the colt with her: loosing, lead her to me.
akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi itũũra rĩrĩa rĩrĩ mbere yanyu, na mwaingĩra o ũguo nĩmũgũkora ndigiri yohetwo, ĩrĩ na njaũ yayo. Ciohorei mũndehere.
3 And if any one may say any thing to you, tell him, that the Lord hath need of them; and immediately he will send them away.
Na mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩmũũria ũndũ-rĩ, mwĩrei atĩ Mwathani nĩabatarĩtio nĩcio, na nĩegũcicookia o narua.”
4 And all this took place, that the word spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,
Ũndũ ũyũ wekĩkire nĩgeetha ũrathi ũrĩa waarĩtio na kanua ka mũnabii ũhinge, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ:
5 Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh, meek, and seated upon a donkey, even a colt, the progeny of the work-beast.
“Ĩrai Mwarĩ wa Zayuni atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki waku nĩarooka kũrĩwe, nĩ mũhooreri na akuuĩtwo nĩ ndigiri, o njaũ ya ndigiri.’”
6 And the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus commanded them,
Nao arutwo magĩthiĩ magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jesũ aamerĩte.
7 led the donkey, and the colt, and put their garments on them; and He sat on them.
Makĩrehe ndigiri na njaũ yayo, na makĩara nguo ciao igũrũ rĩayo, nake Jesũ agĩkuuo nĩyo.
8 A great multitude strewed their garments in the road: and others cut down the branches from the trees, and were strewing them in the road.
Na andũ gĩkundi kĩnene mũno makĩara nguo ciao njĩra-inĩ, nao arĩa angĩ magĩtua mathĩgĩ ma mĩtĩ makĩmaara njĩra-inĩ.
9 And the multitudes going forward, and following, continued to cry out, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest!
Nacio ikundi cia andũ arĩa maamũtongoretie na arĩa maamũrũmĩrĩire maanagĩrĩra makoiga atĩrĩ, “Hosana, Mũrũ wa Daudi!” “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũũka na rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani!” “Hosana igũrũ, o igũrũ mũno!”
10 And He having come into Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred, saying; Who is He?
Rĩrĩa Jesũ aatoonyire Jerusalemu, andũ a itũũra rĩu inene rĩothe makĩambũrũrũka, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nake nũũ?”
11 And the multitudes continued to say, He is the prophet Jesus, the one from Nazareth of Galilee.
Nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩgĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Jesũ ũrĩa mũnabii wa kuuma Nazarethi itũũra rĩa Galili.”
12 And Jesus came into the temple of God, and cast out all the buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-exchangers, and the seats of those selling the doves;
Nake Jesũ agĩtoonya kũu hekarũ-inĩ akĩrutũrũra andũ othe arĩa maagũraga na meendagia indo kuo, akĩngʼaũrania metha cia arĩa maakũũranagia mbeeca, na akĩngʼaũrania itĩ cia arĩa meendagia ndutura.
13 and He says to them, It has been written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but you make it a den of thieves.
Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, ‘Nyũmba yakwa ĩgeetagwo nyũmba ya kũhooyagĩrwo,’ no inyuĩ mũmĩtuĩte ‘ngurunga ya atunyani.’”
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple: and He healed them.
Nao atumumu na cionje magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we kũu hekarũ-inĩ, nake akĩmahonia.
15 And the chief priests and scribes seeing the wonderful things which He did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying; Hosanna to the son of David, were indignant,
No rĩrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na arutani a watho moonire maũndũ ma magegania marĩa eekaga, na maigua ũrĩa ciana cianagĩrĩra kũu hekarũ-inĩ ikiugaga atĩrĩ, “Hosana Mũrũ wa Daudi,” makĩrakara.
16 and said to Him, Do you hear what they are saying? And Jesus says to them, Yes: have you not read, That out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
Makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũraigua ũrĩa ciana ici iroiga?” Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩndĩraigua. Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtathomete ciugo iria ciugĩte atĩrĩ, “‘Kuuma tũnua-inĩ twa twana na twa ngenge nĩũtũmĩte hoime ũgooci’?”
17 And having left them, He went out of the city into Bethany, and there spent the night.
Agĩcooka akĩmatiga, akiuma itũũra rĩu inene, agĩthiĩ Bethania, akĩraara kuo.
18 And in the morning going into the city, He was hungry.
Na rũciinĩ tene, arĩ njĩra agĩcooka kũu itũũra inene, akĩigua arĩ mũhũũtu.
19 And seeing one fig-tree near the road, He went to it, and found nothing on it, except leaves only. And He says to it, Let no fruit ever be from thee; and immediately the fig-tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
Nake akĩona mũkũyũ mũkĩra wa njĩra, agĩthiĩ harĩ guo, no ndaigana kuona kĩndũ thĩinĩ waguo tiga o mathangũ. Nake akĩwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũroaga gũgaaciara maciaro rĩngĩ!” O hĩndĩ ĩyo mũtĩ ũcio ũkĩhoha. (aiōn g165)
20 And the disciples seeing, were astonished, saying, How did the fig-tree immediately wither away?
Rĩrĩa arutwo ake moonire ũguo makĩgega, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũkũyũ ũyũ wahooha narua atĩa?”
21 And Jesus responding said to them, Truly I say unto you, if you may have faith, and doubt not, not only shall you do that of the fig-tree, but you shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, and it will be done.
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũngĩkorwo na wĩtĩkio na mũtigathanganie-rĩ, to ũguo mũkũyũ ũyũ wĩkĩtwo mũngĩhota gwĩka, no rĩrĩ, o na no mũhote kwĩra kĩrĩma gĩkĩ atĩrĩ, ‘Ũrokũũrũka ũikio iria-inĩ,’ na gwĩkĩke ũguo.
22 All things whatsoever you may ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
Maũndũ mothe marĩa mũrĩhooyaga mwĩtĩkĩtie nĩmũkaheo.”
23 And the chief priests and elders of the people came to Him, while teaching, He having come into the temple, saying, By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you this authority?
Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aatoonyire hekarũ-inĩ-rĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na athuuri a andũ makĩmũkora akĩrutana, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũreka maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ? Na nũũ ũkũheete ũhoti ũcio?”
24 And Jesus responding, said to them, I ask you also one word, which if you may speak to me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing these things:
Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ nĩngũmũũria kĩũria. Mwanjookeria-rĩ, nĩngũmwĩra njĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ.
25 Whence was the baptism of John? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we may say, From heaven; He will say to us, Why then did you not believe on him?
Ũbatithio wa Johana-rĩ, woimĩte kũ? Woimĩte igũrũ-ĩ, kana woimĩte kũrĩ andũ?” Makĩaranĩria o ene ũhoro ũcio, makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Tũngiuga atĩ, ‘Woimĩte igũrũ’, egũtũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Mwakĩregire kũmwĩtĩkia nĩkĩ?’
26 But if we may say, From men: we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.
No tũngiuga atĩ, ‘Woimĩte kũrĩ andũ’, nĩtũgwĩtigĩra andũ, nĩgũkorwo othe nĩmeetĩkĩtie atĩ Johana aarĩ mũnabii.”
27 And responding they said to Jesus, We do not know. He also said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩcookeria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtiũĩ.” Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ ndikũmwĩra njĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ.
28 What seems to you? A man had two sons; and going to the first, he said, Child, go to-day, work in my vineyard.
“Na rĩrĩ, mũgwĩciiria atĩa? Nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ warĩ na ariũ eerĩ. Agĩthiĩ harĩ ũrĩa wa mbere, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Mũriũ, thiĩ ũkarute wĩra ũmũthĩ mũgũnda-inĩ wa mĩthabibũ.’
29 And he responding said, I am not willing: but afterward, having regretted, he went.
“Nake agĩcookia, akiuga, ‘Ndigũthiĩ,’ no thuutha akĩĩricũkwo, agĩthiĩ.
30 And coming to the second, he spoke likewise. And he responding said, I, lord: and went not.
“Ningĩ mũthuuri ũcio agĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũriũ ũcio ũngĩ akĩmwĩra o ũguo. Nake agĩcookia akiuga, ‘Ĩĩ baba, nĩngũthiĩ,’ no ndaathiire.
31 Which one of the two did the will of the father? They say to Him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say unto you, that the publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
“Acio eerĩ-rĩ, nũũ wekire ũrĩa ithe eendaga?” Magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũrĩa wa mbere.” Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, etia mbeeca cia igooti na maraya nĩmaratoonya ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai mbere yanyu.
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not: but the publicans and harlots believed him, and you, seeing, did not afterward regret it, in order that you might believe him.
Nĩgũkorwo Johana ookire kũrĩ inyuĩ amwonie njĩra ya ũthingu, no mũtiamwĩtĩkirie, no etia mbeeca cia igooti na maraya nĩmamwĩtĩkirie. Na inyuĩ o na muona ũguo, mũtiigana kwĩrira mũmwĩtĩkie.
33 Hear ye another parable. A man was a landlord, who planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge around it, and dug a wine-trough in it, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went away.
“Ta thikĩrĩriai ngerekano ĩngĩ: Mũndũ warĩ mwene mũgũnda nĩahaandire mũgũnda ũcio wake mĩthabibũ. Agĩaka rũgiri rũgĩthiũrũrũkĩria mũgũnda ũcio, akĩenja kĩhihĩro gĩa thabibũ o kũu thĩinĩ, na agĩaka nyũmba ndaaya na igũrũ ya arangĩri. Agĩcooka agĩkomborithia mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ kũrĩ arĩmi na agĩthiĩ rũgendo.
34 And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits;
Hĩndĩ ya kũgetha yakuhĩrĩria-rĩ, agĩtũma ndungata ciake kũrĩ akombori acio nĩguo ikanengerwo maciaro make.
35 and the husbandmen taking his servants, beat one, and slew one, and stoned another.
“Akombori acio makĩnyiita ndungata ciake; makĩhũũra ĩmwe, na makĩũraga ĩrĩa ĩngĩ, na ya gatatũ makĩmĩhũũra na mahiga nyuguto.
36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Agĩcooka akĩmatũmĩra ndungata ingĩ nyingĩ kũrĩ iria aatũmĩte mbere, nao akombori acio magĩciĩka o ro ũguo.
37 And afterward he sent to them his own son, saying, They will reverence my son.
Mũthia-inĩ akĩmatũmĩra mũrũwe, akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩmagatĩĩa mũrũ wakwa.’
38 But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take possession of his inheritance.
“No rĩrĩa akombori acio moonire mũriũ, makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩwe ũkaagaya mũgũnda ũyũ. Ũkai tũmũũrage, twĩyoere igai rĩake.’
39 And taking him, they cast him out of the vine-yard, and slew him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũnyiita, makĩmũikia nja ya mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ, na makĩmũũraga.
40 Then when the lord of the vine-yard may come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩrĩa mwene mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ agooka-rĩ, ageeka akombori acio atĩa?”
41 They say to Him, He will certainly destroy those wicked men, and give the vineyard to other husband-men, who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.
Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩakaniina andũ acio aaganu, na acooke akomborithie andũ angĩ mũgũnda ũcio, arĩa marĩmũgayagĩra maciaro hĩndĩ ya magetha yakinya.”
42 Jesus says, Have you not read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner: this was with the Lord, and is marvelous in our eyes?
Nake Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtathomete thĩinĩ wa Maandĩko atĩ: “‘Ihiga rĩrĩa aaki maaregire nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga inene rĩa koine; Mwathani nĩ we wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio, na nĩ wa magegania tũkĩwona’?
43 Therefore I say unto you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits of it.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũkeeherio kũrĩ inyuĩ, ũheo andũ angĩ arĩa magaaciaraga maciaro maguo.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũkaagwĩra ihiga rĩrĩ nĩagathuthĩka, no ũrĩa ũkaagwĩrwo nĩrĩo nĩrĩkamũthethera.”
45 And the chief priests and Pharisees hearing His parables, knew that He speaks concerning them.
Rĩrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na Afarisai maaiguire ngerekano icio cia Jesũ, makĩmenya atĩ aaragia ũhoro wao.
46 And seeking to arrest Him, they feared the multitudes, since they held Him as a prophet.
Magĩcaria ũrĩa mangĩmũnyiita, no nĩmetigagĩra kĩrĩndĩ kĩu, tondũ andũ nĩmeetĩkĩtie atĩ aarĩ mũnabii.
