< 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,
Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaŵandichile ku Yelusalemu, ni paŵaiche ku Besefage pachikwesya cha Miseituni, ŵatumile ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili.
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose [them], and bring [them] unto me.
Ŵaasalile, “Njaule kunsinda wauli mmbujo mwenu, ni kweleko chinkajisimane mbunda jajitaŵikwe ni mwanambunda pamo najo. Nkaagopole njise nawo kwangune.
3 And if any [man] say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
Iŵaga chakammusye mundu ligongo lya kwagopola, nkajile, ‘Ambuje akusisaka,’ ni pangakaŵa chakannechele.”
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
Ali lyatendekwe kuti gamalile gaŵaŵechete jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
“Mwasalile ŵandu ŵa musi wa Sayuni, Nnole, Mwenye jwenu akunnyichilila! Atulele, ni akwesile mbunda, ni mwanambunda, chinyama chachikujigala itutule.”
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
Ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵajawile, ŵatesile mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu.
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set [him] thereon.
Ŵajiichenawo mbunda ni mwanambunda, ŵatandiche nguo syao pachanya pawo ni Che Yesu ŵatemi pachanya pakwe.
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.
Mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu watandiche nguo syao mwitala, ni ŵane ŵakatile nyambi sya mwana sya itela ni ŵatandiche mwitala.
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.
Mipingo ja ŵandu ŵaŵalongolele ni ŵaŵakuiye ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Ajinichilwe Mwana ju che Daudi, Akole upile jwele jwakwika mu liina lya Ambuje! Ajinichilwe Akunnungu ŵaali kwinani!”
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
Che Yesu paŵajinjilaga ku Yelusalemu, ŵandu ŵa musi wose ŵaliji jugulijuguli. Ŵandu ŵaliji nkuusyana, “Ana aju ali nduni?”
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Ŵandu mu mpingo ula ŵatite, “Ŵeleŵa ni Che Yesu, jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu kutyochela ku Nasaleti musi wa ku 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,
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵajinjile mu lutenje lwa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵaaŵinjile ŵanawose uŵasumisyaga ni kusuma malonda pepala, ŵapitikwisye mesa sya ŵaŵasumanyaga mbiya, ni itengu yao ŵaŵasumisyaga nguunda.
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.
Ŵaasalile, “Ilembekwe Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Nyuumba jangu chijiŵilanjikwe nyuumba ja kupopelela.’ Nambo ŵanyamwe njitesile peuto pakulisisila ŵa wiyi.”
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Ŵangalola ni ŵakulemala ŵanjaulile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, nombe Che Yesu ŵalamisye.
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,
Achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo paŵaiweni indu yambone nnope iŵaitesile Che Yesu ni ŵanache ali nkunyanyisya pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu achitiji, “Ajinichilwe Mwana ju che Daudi,” ŵanyawo ŵatumbile.
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?
Ŵausisye, “Uli ngankupilikana yakuti ŵanache?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Elo, ngupikana! Ana nganinsyome Maloŵe ga? ‘Kutyochela nkang'wa sya ŵanache achanandi ni ŵakonga, nlipatile lumbili lwemalilwe.’”
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
Nipele, ŵalesile, ŵakopweche mmusi ni kwaula ku Besania ni kugona kweleko.
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
Kundaŵi, Che Yesu paŵaujaga kwaula ku Yelusalemu, jakwete sala.
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 )
Ŵauweni ntini mungulugulu litala, ŵaujaulile, nambo nganachisimana chindu mwelemo, ŵausimene uli masamba pe. Ŵausalile, “Nkasogola isogosi sooni moŵa gose pangali mbesi!” Papopo nkuju wo wanyasile. (aiōn )
20 And when the disciples saw [it], they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
Ŵakulijiganya paŵauweni, ŵasimosile, ŵaliusisye, “Ntini u ujumwile chinauli chitema kwantinyi?”
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.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ngunsalila isyene, mwaŵaga ni chikulupi pangali lipamba lili lyose, chinkombole kupanganya ngaŵa yeleyo pe yaitendekwe mu chitela cha ntini, nambo atamuno mwachisalilaga achi chitumbi chi, ‘Ntupuche ni kuliponya mu bahali,’ chiitendekwe iyoyo.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Mwakolaga chikulupi, chachilichose chachimmende nkupopela, chimpate.”
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?
Che Yesu ŵajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ni kwiganya. Paŵajiganyaga, achakulu ŵa mbopesi ni achakulu ŵane ŵa ŵandu ŵausisye kuti, “Ana kwa ukombole chi nkutenda yele indu yi? Ŵaani ŵampele wele ukombole u?”
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.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “None chinammusye liusyo limo pe, mwanyangaga, nipele, none chinansalile kwa ukombole chi nguitenda indu yi.
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?
Uli ukombole u che Yohana wa kubatisya watyochele kwapi? Watyochele kwinani pane kwa ŵandu?” Nambo ŵaŵechetesyene achinsyene pe achitiji, “Twajilaga, ‘Watyosile kwinani,’ chatuusye, ‘Nambi kwachichi nganimunkulupilila?’
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
Nambo twajilaga, ‘Watyochele kwa ŵandu,’ tukogopa mpingo wa ŵandu pakuŵa ŵanawose akwitichisya kuti che Yohana ali jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.”
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.
Nipele, ŵajanjile, “Ngatukumanyilila!” Nombe Che Yesu ŵatite, “Atamuno une ngangunsalila ŵanyamwe kwa ukombole chi nguitenda indu yi.
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.
“Ŵanyamwe nkuganisya uli? Mundu jumo ŵakwete achachanda ŵaŵili. Ŵantendele jwaandanda jo kuti, ‘Mwanangu, lelo njaule nkapanganye masengo mungunda wa sabibu.’
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
Nchanda jo ŵajanjile, ‘Ngangusaka!’ Nambo kanyuma kakwe ŵapitikwiche ntima, ŵajawile kupanganya masengo.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
Atati ŵala ŵanjaulile mwanagwe jwaaŵili jo ni kunsalila ilaila, nombe ŵajanjile ŵatite, ‘Elo, atati!’ Nambo nganajaula kumasengo.
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.
Ana jwapi jwa ŵele ŵaŵili wo jwatesile yakuisaka atatigwe?” Ŵajanjile, “Jwanchanda jwaandanda jo.” Che Yesu ŵatite, “Ngunsalila isyene, ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵakulaŵalaŵa chajinjile mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu nkanaŵe kwinjila.
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.
Pakuŵa che Yohana ŵaiche kukwenu ni kunnanjila kutama yambone nti yakuti pakusaka Akunnungu, ni ŵanyamwe nganimunkulupilila, nambo ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵakulaŵalaŵa ŵankulupilile. Ni ŵanyamwe pammasile kugawona gele nganinleka sambi ni kunkulupilila.”
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:
Che Yesu ŵatite, “Mpilikanile chitagu chine. Jwapali mundu jumo nsyene nyuumba ŵalimile ngunda wa sabibu, ŵausyunguchisye lutenje ni ŵakolosisye pakuminyila sabibu, ŵataŵile chilindo mmomopemo. Nipele ŵaujasimisye kwa ŵakulima ni kwaula ku chilambo cha kutalika.
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.
Katema ka kugungula, ŵatumile achikapolo ŵao kwa ŵakulima ŵala, kuti akajigale liunjili lyakwe lya magungulo.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Ŵakulima ŵala ŵakamwile achikapolo ŵao, jumo ŵamputile, ni jwine ŵammuleje, ni jwine ŵamponyile maganga.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Sooni ŵatumile achikapolo ŵane ŵajinji kupunda ŵa kundanda. Ŵakulima ŵala ŵajasime ngunda ŵatendele ilaila.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
Kumbesi kwakwe ŵantumile mwanagwe achiganisyaga mu ntima wakwe achitiji, ‘Chakanchimbichisye 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.
Nambo ŵakulima ŵala paŵammweni mwanagwao ŵaŵechetesyene achinsyene pe, ‘Aju ni juchapochele iŵagosele, twende tummulaje kuti indu iŵagosele tujigale uwe!’
39 And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and slew [him].
Nipele, ŵankamwile, ŵantyosisye paasa ngunda wa sabibu, ŵammuleje.
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
“Sambano, nsyene ngunda wa sabibu jula pachachiika, chachatenda ichichi ŵakulima ŵala?”
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.
Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Chachajonanga wamba ŵele ŵachigongomalo wo ni ngunda wa sabibu ula chachiujasimisya kwa ŵakulima ŵane uchachapa liunjili lyakwe lya magungulo kwa katema kakwe.”
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?
Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uli ana nganinsyome lye liloŵe li Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu? ‘Liganga liŵalikanile ŵakutaŵa sambano lilyolyo lili lyetendekwe liganga lyalikusachilwa kwannope kugapunda maganga gose. Ambuje ni ŵatesile achi chindu chi, nombe chili chakusimonjeka nnope kwetuwe!’
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.
“Kwayele ngunsalila, Umwenye wa Akunnungu chiutyosekwe kukwenu, ni kupegwa ŵandu ŵakupanganya yakuisaka Akunnungu.”
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Jwalijose juchagwilile pa liganga lyo chakasiche ipande ipande, ni jwalijose juchilyagwilile, chilinkanyatekanyate.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
Achakulu ŵa mbopesi ni Mafalisayo paŵapilikene itagu yao, ŵamanyilile kuti ŵaliji nkwagamba ŵanyawo.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Nipele ŵasosaga litala lya kwakamula, nambo ŵajogwepe ŵandu pakuŵa ŵanyawo ŵanganisisye nti jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
