Matthew 21
1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
Mpobalashika pepi ku Yelusalemu, balashika nanshi ku Betifage ku mulundu wa maolifi, Yesu walatuma beshikwiya bakendi babili,
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find a donkey tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
ne kubambileti, “Kamuyani mu munshi uwu ngomulabononga pantangu apa, mwaya mwengila, nimucane mbongolo wasungililwa pamo ne mwanendi, mu basungulule mubalete kuno.”
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
Na muntu amwipushe, mumwambileti, “Mwami labayandanga, apwisha kubasebensesha nabalete.”
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
“Ici calenshika kwambeti maswi alamba mushinshimi akwanilishiwe, akwambeti,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon a donkey, and a colt the foal of a donkey.
“Kamwambilani munshi wa Siyoni kwambeti Kobona Mwami wakobe lesanga kulinjobe, Walicepesha, kayi watanta pa mbongolo. Watanta pa mwana mbongolo, nyama ishikumanta mitolo.”
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
Popelapo beshikwiya balensa mbuli Yesu ncalabambila.
7 And brought the donkey, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
Balaleta mbongolo pamo ne mwanendi, balayansa bikwisa pamusana pa mwanambongolo, uyo ngwalatantapo Yesu.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
Bantu bangi balayansa bikwisa munshila, nabambi balakwakula misampi yabitondo ne kwiyansa munshila.
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.
Bantu bangi balikuba pantangu ne balikuba panyuma, balatatika kubilikisheti, “Hosana kuli Mwanendi Dafeti. Walelekwa uyo lesanga mu Lina lya Lesa, Hosana kuli Lesa wakwilu ku Mayoba.”
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
Yesu mpwalengila mu Yelusalemu, bantu bonse balakankamana, nabambi balikabepusheti, “Anu uyu niyani?”
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Bantu bangi balakumbuleti, “Uyu emushinshimi, Yesu waku Nasaleti, mucishi ca Galileya.”
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 moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
Yesu walengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne kutandanyamo bantu bonse balikulisha ne kula. Walawishila panshi matebulu ngobalikulishilapo beshikushintanisha mali, ne bipuna bya beshikulisha nkulimba,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Walabambileti, “Mabala alambangeti, ‘Ng'anda yakame nikabe yakupaililamo,’ Nomba amwe mulaisandulu kuba mwakuyubila bakabwalala.”
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Popelapo balema ne bashipilwa balesa kuli Yesu mu Ng'anda ya Lesa mopelemo, nendi walabasengula.
15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
Bamakulene beshimilumbo ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose, mpobalabona byeshikukondwelesha mbyalensa kayi ne kunyumfwa batwanike mu ng'anda ya Lesa kababilikisheti, “Hosana kuli Mwanendi Dafeti,” Calabepila mu moyo.
16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
Neco, Yesu balamwipusheti, “Sena mulanyumfunga mbyobalambanga batwanike aba?” Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Ee, kanshi nkamuna mubelengapo Maswi alambangeti Lesa walabambilalimo batwanike ne bakateta kwambeti nibakamutembaule kwakupwililila?”
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
Popelapo Yesu walabashiya, ne kuya ku Betani nkwalakona.
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
Mpobwalaca mumene mene, Yesu mpwalikubwelela ku Yelusalemu walanyumfwa nsala.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
Mpwalabona citondo ca mukuyu pepi ne nshila, walayapo, nomba walacana kacikutowa matewu. Popelapo walacambila citondo camukuyu, “citondobe, kufuma lelo nteti ukasemepo bisepo sobwe.” Cindi copeleco citondo camukuyu cisa calayuma nta. (aiōn g165)
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
Beshikwiya mpobalaboneco balakankamana balamwipusha Yesu, “Inga citondo ca mukuyu ici cilafwambaneconi kuyuma?”
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
Yesu walakumbuleti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti na lushomo lwenu ntelo lwakutonshanya nimukacikonshenga kwinsa mbuli ncondenshili citondo ca mukuyu ici. Nteconkeco sobwe, nsombi na muwambila mulundu uwu, kwambeti, ‘Fuma apa, koya uliwale mu lwenje, mpaka nicikenshike.’
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Na mupaila ne lushomo ciliconse nceti mukasenge nimukapewe.”
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
Cindi Yesu ncalengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne kutatika kwiyisha, bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, balesa kumwipusheti, “Mwalashifunya kupeyo ngofu shakwinsa cisa? Niyani walamupa ngofu ishi?”
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “ne njame nindimwipushe mwipusho umo, mwankumbula, bacu, nindimwambile nkondalafunya ngofu shakwinsa cisa.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
Kwambeti Yohane abatishenga, ngofu walashifunya kupeyo, kuli Lesa nambi kubantu?” Balo balatatika kutotekeshana pa lwabo bene, “Natukumbuleti walashifunya kuli Lesa, nendi nambeti, inga mwalabulila cani kumushoma?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
Nomba kayi natukumbuleti walashifunya kubantu, bantu nteti batulekepo sobwe, pakwinga balambangeti, Yohane nimushinshimi.”
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
Neco balamukumbuleti, “Afwe nkatucishipo sobwe.” Nendi walambeti, “Anu ne njame nteti ndimwambilepo sobwe nkondalashicana ngofu shakwinsa cisa.”
28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
“Amwe ngamuyeyapo aconi? Muntu naumbi walikukute bana batuloba babili. Walaya kumwanendi mukulene ne kumwambileti, ‘Mwaname, koya lelo usebense kumabala.’
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
Walakumbuleti ‘Sobwe nkasuni,’ Nsombi panyuma pakendi walalitibuka, walaya ku mabala kuya kusebensa.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
Baishi balaya kumwanabo kanike ne kumwambila maswi amo amo ngobalambila mwanabo mukulene. Nendi walambeti, ‘Ndanyumfu ta, ndenga kusebensa.’ Nsombi uliya kuyako.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
Pa bana babili aba walensa ncobalikuyanda baishi nupeyo?” Balo balambeti, “wakutanguna usa.” Yesu walabambileti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, beshikusonkesha misonko ne batukashi bapombo balengilinga mu Bwami bwa Lesa, amwe kamutana.
32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
Yohane Mubatishi walesa kumulesha nshila yabululami, amwe muliya kushoma sobwe, kakuli beshikusonkesha misonko, ne batukashi bapombo balo balamushoma, Amwe nambi mwalabibona, muliya kulitibuka kwambeti mumushome.”
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
Yesu walambeti, “Kamunyumfwani mukoshanyo naumbi, Muntu naumbi walikukute libala. Mulibalo'mo walabyalamo minyansa, walebaka luba kushinguluka libala lyonse, walaimba cisengu mwakutyanina minyansa, walaibaka lupingwe lwa kupembelelapo libala. Panyuma pakendi walalibwelekesha libala lisa ku balimi, nendi walaya bulwendo kucishi cimbi.
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
Cindi cakutebula mpocalashika, muntu usa walatuma basebenshi bakendi ku balimi basa, kwambeti bamupeko bisepo bya mulibala lisa.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Nomba balimi basa balabekata basebenshi basa, umo balamuma, naumbi balamushina, naumbi balamupwaya mabwe.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Muntu usa walatumako basebenshi nabambi bangi kupita basa bakutanguna. Kayi balimi basa balabensa cimo cimo.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
Kumapwililisho balimi basa walabatumina Mwanendi, ne kwambeti, ‘Mwaname uyu enka nibenga bamupe bulemu.’
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Nomba balimi basa mpobalamubona Mwanendi usa, balatatika kumufwiya, kabambeti, ‘uyu eshakapyane buboni bonse. Tiyeni tumushine kwambeti buboni ubu bukabe bwetu.’
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
Neco balamwikata, nekumuwala kunsa kwa libala ne kumushina.”
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
“Inga mwine libala lisa lya minyansa akesa nakabenseconi balimi basa?”
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Balo balakumbuleti, “Nakabashine balimi baipa basa, ne kulibwelekesha libala lisa kubalimi nabambi belela kumupako bisepo pacindi cakendi celela.”
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Yesu walabepusheti, “Sena muliya kubelengapo Mabala alambangeti, ‘Libwe lyacandanshi ndyobalakana beshikwibaka,’ Elilaba libwe lya nkokola ya ng'anda lilayandikinga? Lesa mwine ewalacinseci, kayi cilatukankamanishi kucibona.”
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Encondamwambililingeti, “Bwami bwa Lesa, nibukalamunwe kulinjamwe ne kubupa bantu bambi abo belela kusema bisepo.”
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Uliyense eshakawile palibwe ili, nakapasauke pasauke. Uyo ngoshi likamuwile, nendi nakashanyaukilelimo.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
Bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne Bafalisi mpobalanyumfwa mikoshanyo njalikwamba Yesu, balenshibeti wambangendibo.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Neco balayanda kumwikata nsombi balatina bantu, pakwinga bantu bangi balikuba bashometi, Yesu nimushinshimi.
