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,
Yesu na wanafunzi wake wakafika karibu na Jerusalemu na wakaenda mpaka Bethfage, katika mlima mizeituni, kisha Yesu akawatuma wanafunzi wawili,
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.
akiwaambia, “Nendeni katika kijiji kinachofuata, na mara moja mtamkuta punda amefungwa pale, na mwanapunda pamoja naye. wafungueni na kuwaleta kwangu.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
Ikiwa mtu yeyote akiwaambia chochote kuhusu hilo, mtasema, `Bwana anawahitaji, ` na mtu huyo mara moja atawaruhusu mje pamoja nao”
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
Jambo hili lilitokea ni lile lililosemwa kupitia kwa nabii lazima litimizwe. Akawaambia,
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.
Waambie binti Sayuni, tazama, mfalme wako anakuja kwenu, mnyenyekevu na akiwa amempanda punda, na mwana punda mme, mwana punda mchanga.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
Kisha wanafunzi waliondoka na kufanya kama Yesu alivyowaagiza.
7 And brought the donkey, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
Wakamleta punda na mwanapunda, na kuweka nguo zao juu yao, naye Yesu akakaa pale.
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.
Wengi katika mkusanyiko walitandaza nguo zao njiani, na wengine walikata matawi kutoka kwenye miti na kutandaza barabarani.
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.
Umati uliomtangulia Yesu na wale waliomfuata walipaza sauti, wakisema,”Hosana kwa mwana wa Daudi! Ni mbarikiwa ajaye kwa jina la Bwana. Hosana juu zaidi!”
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
Yesu alipofika Yerusalemu, mji mzima ulishtuka na kusema, “Huyu ni nani?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
“Umati ulijibu, “Huyu ni Yesu Nabii, kutoka Nazareti ya 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 moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
Kisha Yesu akaingia katika hekalu la Mungu. akawafukuza nje wote waliokuwa wakinunua na kuuza hekaluni. Pia alipindua meza za wabadilishaji wa fedha na viti vya wauza njiwa.
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.
Akawaambia, “Imeandikwa, `'Nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya maombi, `lakini ninyi mmeifanya pango la wanyang`anyi.”
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
kisha vipofu na vilema wakamjia hekaluni, naye akawaponya.
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,
Lakini wakati wakuu wa makuhani na waandishi walipoona maajabu aliyoyatenda, na waliposikia watoto wakipiga kelele hekaluni na kusema, “Hosana kwa Mwana wa Daudi,” walishikwa na hasira.
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?
Wakamwambia, “Umesikia kile kinachosemwa na hawa watu?” Yesu akawaambia, “Ndiyo! Lakini hamjawahi kusoma, 'Kutoka kwa midomo ya watoto na watoto wachanga wanyonyao mna sifa kamili?''
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
Kisha Yesu akawaacha na kwenda nje ya mji katika Bethania na kulala huko.
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
Asubuhi alipokuwa anarudi mjini, alikuwa na njaa.
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)
Aliona mtini kandokando ya barabara. Akauendea, lakini hakupata kitu juu yake isipokuwa majani. Aliuambia, “Kusiwe na matunda kwako daima tena.” Na mara hiyo mtini ule ukanyauka. (aiōn g165)
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
Wanafunzi walipoona, wakastaajabu na kusema, “Imekuwaje mtini umenyauka mara moja?”
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 akajibu na kuwaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, kama mkiwa na imani na bila wasiwasi, hamtafanya kile kilichofanyika kwa huo mtini tu, lakini mtauambia hata huo mlima, ` uchukuliwe na ukatupwe baharini, `na itafanyika.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Chochote mtakachoomba kwa sala, huku mkiamini, mtapokea.”
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?
Yesu alipofika hekaluni, wakuu wa makuhani na wazee wa watu wakamjia wakati alipokuwa akifundisha na kumwuliza, “Ni kwa mamlaka gani unafanya mambo haya? Na ni nani aliyekupa mamlaka haya?”
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.
Yesu akajibu na kuwaambia, “Nami tena nitawauliza swali moja. kama mkiniambia, nami vilevile nitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani ninafanya mambo haya.
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?
Ubatizo wa Yohana- ulitoka wapi, mbinguni au kwa wanadamu?” Wakahojiana wenyewe, wakisema, tukisema, ulitoka mbinguni, `atatuambia, kwa nini hamkumwamini? `
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
Lakini tukisema, `ulitoka kwa wanadamu, `tunawaogopa makutano, kwa sababu wote wanamwona Yohana kama nabii.”
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.
Kisha wakamjibu Yesu na kusema, “Hatujui” Akawaambia pia, “Wala mimi sitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani nafanya mambo haya.
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.
Lakini mnafikiri nini? Mtu mwenye wana wawili. Akaenda kwa moja na kumwambia, `Mwanangu, nenda ukafanye kazi katika shamba la mizabibu
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
leo. `Mwana akajibu na kusema, `sitakwenda, ' Lakini baadaye akabadilisha mawazo yake na akaenda.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
Na Mtu yule akaenda kwa mwana wa pili na kusema kitu kilekile. Mwana huyu akajibu na kusema, `nitakwenda, bwana', lakini hakwenda.
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.
Yupi kati ya wana wawili aliyefanya matakwa ya baba yake? Wakasema, “Mwana wa kwanza.” Yesu akawaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, wakusanya ushuru na makahaba wataingia kwenye ufalme wa Mungu kabla yenu kuingia.
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.
Kwa maana Yohana alikuja kwenu kwa njia iliyo nyoofu, lakini hamkumwamini, wakati wakusanya ushuru na makahaba walimwamini. Na ninyi, mlipoona hilo likitendeka, hamkuweza kutubu ili baadaye mumwamini.
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:
Sikilizeni mfano mwingine. Kulikuwa na mtu, mtu mwenye eneo kubwa la ardh. Alipanda mizabibu, akaiwekea uzio, akatengeneza na chombo cha kukamlia divai, akajenga na mnara wa walinzi, na akalikodisha kwa watunza zabibu. Kisha akaenda katika nchi nyingine.
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.
Wakati wa mavuno ya mizabibu ulipokaribia, aliwatuma baadhi ya watumishi kwa wakulima wa mizabibu kuchukua mizabibu yake.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Lakini wakulima wa zabibu wakawachukua watumishi wake, wakampiga mmoja, wakamwua mwingine, na wakampiga mmoja kwa mawe.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Kwa mara nyingine, Mmiliki aliwatuma watumishi wengine, wengi zaidi ya wale wa kwanza, lakini wakulima wa mizabibu waliwatendea vilevile.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
Baada ya hapo bwana yule akamtuma kwao mwana wake, akisema, `'Watamheshimu mwanangu.'`
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.
Lakini wakulima wa mizabibu walipomwona kijana yule, wakaambizana, `'Huyu ni mrithi, Njooni, tumuue na tumiliki urithi.'
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
`Hivyo wakamchukua, wakamtupa nje ya shamba la mizabibu na kumwua.
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
Je mmliki wa shamba la mizabibu atakapokuja, atawafanya nini wakulima wa mizabibu?”
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.
Wakamwambia, “Atawaharibu hao watu waovu katika njia ya ukali zaidi, na kisha atalikodisha shamba la mizabibu kwa wakulima wengine wa mizabibu, watu ambao watalipa kwa ajili ya mizabibu itakapoiva.”
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 akawaambia, “Hamkusoma katika maandiko, 'Jiwe walilolikataa waashi limekuwa jiwe kuu la msingi. Hili lilitoka kwa Bwana, na inashangaza machoni petu?'
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.
Hivyo nawaambieni, Ufalme wa Mungu utatwaliwa kutoka kwenu na kupewa taifa linalojali matunda yake.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Yeyote atakayeanguka juu ya jiwe hilo atavunjwa vipandevipande. Lakini kwa yeyote litakayemwangukia, litamsaga.”
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
Wakuu wa makuhani na mafarisayo waliposikia mifano yake, wakaona kuwa anawazungumzia wao.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Lakini kila walipotaka kunyosha mikono juu yake, waliogopa makutano, kwa sababu watu walimtazama kama nabii.
