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,
Awo Jesu abasikwiya bakwe nibakasika ku Jelusalema alubo bakakusika ku Bbetipegi, kukalundu ka Olivusi, mpawo Jesu wakatuma basikwiya bakwe bobile,
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.
wakati kuli mbao, “Kamuya kumunzi ulikunembo, alimwi muyofwambana kubona donki lyangidwe nkuko, alubo akana kelyo. Mwawangunune mwalete kulindime.
3 And if any [man] say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
Kuti kwaba utabe achakwamba atala angawo, mukambe kuti, 'Mwami ulayanda,'alimwi oyo muntu uyofwambana kumupa ngawo.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
'Lino kwakaba kuti ezyo zyakali zyambwa kwinda kumusinsimi zizuzikizigwe. Wakati,
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.
“Ambila mwana musimbi we Zioni, 'Langa, Mwami wanu ulaza kulindinywe, Ulibombede alimwi ulitantide a donki, Akukana ka donki, mwana we donki.”
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
Mpawo basikwiya bakinka bakuchita mbunya Jesu mbwakabalayililide.
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set [him] thereon.
Bakakuleta donki akana alubo bakabika zikobela zyabo a donki, alimwi Jesu Jesu wakakkala ajulu azikobela.
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.
Makamumakamu manji akayala zikobela zyabo mumugwagwa, alimwi bamwi bakagonka ntabi zyamisamu akuyobuyala mumugwagwa.
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.
Mpawo makamu akenda kunembo lya Jesu alubo abaabo bakali kuyobutobela kabayobompolola, “Hosana kumwana wa Davida!” Ulongezezegwe ngoyo uuza muzina lya Mwami! Hosana kuli simajulu!”
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
Elyo Jesu nakasika ku Jelusalema, idolopo lyoonse lyakali lyanyonganisigwa akwamba kuti, “Ngwani oyu?”
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Makamumakamu akasandula, “Oyu ngu Jesu musinsimi uzwa waku Nazaleta mu Galili.”
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,
Mpwo Jesu wakanjila mungánda ya Leza. Wakaandilanze boonse abo bakali kuula akuuzya mungánda ya Leza, alubo wakasandamuna matafula abasikuzizya mali alubo azikkalo zyababo bakali kuzya nziba.
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.
Wakati kulimbabo, “Kulilembedwe, 'Ngánda yangu iyowambwa kuti ngánda yakukambya; pesi mwayichita kuti ibe chikkalilo chababb.”
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Mpawo mofu achilima bakeza kulinguwe mungánda ya Leza, alubo wakabaponya.
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,
Pesi elyo bapayiza bapati alubo abalembi bamulawu nibakabona zintu nzyakachita, alubo elyo nibakamvwa bana balompolola mungánda yaLeza alubo balamba, “Hosana kumwana a Davida, “bakaba akunyema kupati.
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?
Bakati kulinguwe, “Ulibamvwide na kuti balikutyeni Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Iyii! Pesi takwe nimwakabalide, 'kuzwa kumilomo yabana banini atunyonka wakabamba intembawuzyo'?”
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
Mpawo Jesu wakabasiya alubo akuzwa mudolopo lya Bbetani akumana busiku nkuko.
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
Lino kuseni wakayinka nakali kujokela kudolopo, wakali waba anzala.
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)
Nakabona mukuyu munsi lyamugwagwa, wakayinka kulinguwo akujana kakutakwe chintu kuli nguwo kunze kwamatu. Wakaamba kuti kulinguwo, “Kutakabi kuti kukabe michelo lubo kuzwa kulinduwe alimbi,” alubo mponya awo mukuyu wakapusama. (aiōn g165)
20 And when the disciples saw [it], they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
Elyo basikwiya nibakawubona, bakagamba akwamba bati, “Ibiyeni mukuyu wapusama mpawonyaawa?”
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.
Jesu wakasandula akwamba kulimbabo, “Masimpe ndamba kulindinywe, na mulijisi lusyomo alubo kamutadoneki, tamukwe nimuyochita zyakachitwa amukuyu biyo pe, pesi muyowamba nikuba kuchilundu echi, 'Zyukuka akuwalwa mulwizi; alubo ziyochitika.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Kufumbwa nchimuyolomba munkombyo, chakuzumina, muyozitambula.”
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?
Elyo Jesu nakasika mungánda yaLeza. Bapayizi bapati antomwe abapati babantu bakasika kulinguwe kali mukuyisya basikuti, “Anguzu nzi nzyochitya zintu ezi, alubo ngwani wakakupa nguzu ezi?”
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.
Jesu wakasandula akwamba kulimbabo, “Ambebo ndilamubuzya mubuzyo umwi. Na mwandambila, ndiyomwambila kuti nkunguzunzi nzindichitya ezi.
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?
Lubbabbatizyo lwaJoni - nkukuli nkulwakazwa? Lwakazwa kujulu na kuti nkubantu?” Bakambuzyania akati kabo, bakati,
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
“Na tutedi, Luzwa kujulu,' Ulamba kuti kulindiswe, 'Nkambonzi mpo nimwakatamusyoma?'Pesi na tutedi nkubantu,'tuyowa nkamu yabantu nkambo boonse babona Joni mbuli musinsimi.”
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.
Mpawo bakasandula Jesu alubo bati, “Tatuzi pe.” Wakamba alimwi kulimbabo, “Nsikwe nensikamwambile ambebo kuti ninguzunzi nzindichitya azyozintu ezi.
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.
Pesi muyeyaanzi mwalumi wakali abana balombe babili. Wakaya kumutanzi alubo wakati, “mwanangu, koya ukabeleke sunu mumunda wamasansa.
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
“Mwana wakasandula wati, “Tandiinki, pesi mukuya kwachiindi wakasandula mizezo yakwe wakinka.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
Mpawo mwalumi wakaya kumwana wachibili akwamba chintu chikozyenie. Wakasandula wati, 'Ndilayinka, 'Ta; pesi takwe nakinka pe.
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.
Nguuli mubana babili aba wakachita kuyanda kwawisi?” Bakati, “Mutanzi.” Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Masimpe ndaamba kulindinywe, basimutelo abasimamambe bayonjila mubwami bwa Leza kamutana kunjila.
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.
Nkambo Joni wakeza kulindinywe minzila yabululami, pesitemwakamusyoma pe. Pesi basimutelo abasimamambe bakamusyoma. Pesi nywebo, nikuba elyo mwakazibona ezi, temwakeempwa mukuya kwachindi alubo temwakamusyoma.
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:
“Amuswilile kuli ambi mambilambali. Kwakali umwi mwalumi, mukamwini munda wakabyala masansa, wakayaka lubaya alinguwo; wasikusya chikandilo mukati kawo, wayaka ngánda yamujulu, alubo wakayiboleka kuli basikulima masansa. Mpawo wakaya kulichimwi chisi
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.
Elyo chiindi chakutebulwa kwamasansa nichakasika, wakatuma bamwi babelesi kuli basikulimina masansa kuti bakabweze michelo yakwe.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Pesi basikulimina masansa bakabweza babelesi bakwe bawuma umwi, bajaya awumwi, alubo bamutulula mabwe.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Alubo, mwanimunda wakatuma bambi babelesi bayingi kwinda batanzi, pesi basikulimina masansa bakabajata zikozyenie.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
Kwiinda awo, mwanimunda wakazotuma mwanakwe kulimbabo, kuti, 'Bayo mulemeka 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.
“Pesi elyo balimi bamasansa nibakabona mwana, bakati akati kabo, 'Ngoyu sikukona. Mubole, muleke tumujaye akubweza lukono.
39 And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and slew [him].
'Nkinkako bakamubweza, bamusowela kunze amuunda akumujaya.
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
Lino elyo mwanimunda asika, ninzi nchayochita abo balimi bamasansa?”
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.
Bakati kulinguwe, “Uyonyonyona abo baalumi babuyo muli imwi nzila njumu, alubo uyobatandila aanze amuunda akubika bambi basikulimina masansa, bantu bayomupa chabilo chazilimwa kuchiindi chakuyebula.”
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?
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Sena temwakabala mumalembe, Íbbwe bayaki ndibakakaka lyakachitwa munsemo. Echi chakazwa ku Mwami, alubo zilagambya mumeso esu'?
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.
Nkinkako ndamba kuti kulindinywe, bwami bwa Leza buyobwezwa kuzwa kulindinywe akuyopegwa kuchisi chiyopanga michelo yacho.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Kufumbwa uwida atala abbwe eli ulakutyoka kuba tumpanzi, pesi umwi ngulitawide atala ulakupwasuka.”
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
Elyo bapayizi bapati aba Falisi nibakamvwa mambilambali akwe, bakamvwisisisya kuti wakalikwamba ataala ambabo.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Bakayandula kumwanga, pesi bakayoowa makamu abantu, nkambo bantu bakali mujisi mbuli musinsiimi.
