Matthew 21
1 When they were nigh Jerusalem, being come to Bethphage, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,
Awo Jesu abasikwiya bakwe nibakasika ku Jelusalema alubo bakakusika ku Bbetipegi, kukalundu ka Olivusi, mpawo Jesu wakatuma basikwiya bakwe bobile,
2 saying, Go to the village opposite to you, where you will find an ass tied, and her colt with her; loose them, and bring them hither.
wakati kuli mbao, “Kamuya kumunzi ulikunembo, alimwi muyofwambana kubona donki lyangidwe nkuko, alubo akana kelyo. Mwawangunune mwalete kulindime.
3 If any man say anything to you, say, Your Master wants them, and he will send them directly.
Kuti kwaba utabe achakwamba atala angawo, mukambe kuti, 'Mwami ulayanda,'alimwi oyo muntu uyofwambana kumupa ngawo.
4 Now all this was done, that the words of the Prophet might be fulfilled,
'Lino kwakaba kuti ezyo zyakali zyambwa kwinda kumusinsimi zizuzikizigwe. Wakati,
5 "Say to the daughters of Zion, behold your King comes to you lowly, riding on an ass, even the colt of a laboring beast."
“Ambila mwana musimbi we Zioni, 'Langa, Mwami wanu ulaza kulindinywe, Ulibombede alimwi ulitantide a donki, Akukana ka donki, mwana we donki.”
6 Accordingly the disciples went, and having done as Jesus had commanded them,
Mpawo basikwiya bakinka bakuchita mbunya Jesu mbwakabalayililide.
7 brought the ass and the colt, and covering them with their mantles, made him ride.
Bakakuleta donki akana alubo bakabika zikobela zyabo a donki, alimwi Jesu Jesu wakakkala ajulu azikobela.
8 Now the greater part spread their mantles in the way; others lopped branches off the trees, and strowed them in the way,
Makamumakamu manji akayala zikobela zyabo mumugwagwa, alimwi bamwi bakagonka ntabi zyamisamu akuyobuyala mumugwagwa.
9 while the crowd that went before and that followed, shouted, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed be he that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!
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 When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in an uproar, everybody asking, Who is this?
Elyo Jesu nakasika ku Jelusalema, idolopo lyoonse lyakali lyanyonganisigwa akwamba kuti, “Ngwani oyu?”
11 The crowd answered, It is Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth, in Galilee.
Makamumakamu akasandula, “Oyu ngu Jesu musinsimi uzwa waku Nazaleta mu Galili.”
12 Then Jesus went into the temple of God, and drove thence all who sold and who brought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the stalls of those who 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 to them, It is written, "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers."
Wakati kulimbabo, “Kulilembedwe, 'Ngánda yangu iyowambwa kuti ngánda yakukambya; pesi mwayichita kuti ibe chikkalilo chababb.”
14 Then 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 But the chief priests and the scribes, seeing the wonders which he performed, and the boys crying in the temple, Hosanna to the Son of David,
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 said to him with indignation, Do you hear what these say? Jesus answered, Yes. Have you never read, "From the mouth of infants and sucklings thou hast procured praise?"
Bakati kulinguwe, “Ulibamvwide na kuti balikutyeni Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Iyii! Pesi takwe nimwakabalide, 'kuzwa kumilomo yabana banini atunyonka wakabamba intembawuzyo'?”
17 And leaving them, he went out of the city of Bethany, where he remained that night.
Mpawo Jesu wakabasiya alubo akuzwa mudolopo lya Bbetani akumana busiku nkuko.
18 Returning to the city in the morning, he was hungry,
Lino kuseni wakayinka nakali kujokela kudolopo, wakali waba anzala.
19 and seeing a single fig tree by the road, he went to it; but finding only leaves on it, said, Let no fruit grow on you henceforward. And the fig tree withered forthwith. (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 When the disciples saw it, they said with astonishment, how soon is the fig tree withered?
Elyo basikwiya nibakawubona, bakagamba akwamba bati, “Ibiyeni mukuyu wapusama mpawonyaawa?”
21 Jesus answered, Indeed, I say to you, if you have an unshaken faith, you may not only do as much as is done to the fig tree, but even if you should say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and thrown 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 Whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, with faith, you shall receive.
Kufumbwa nchimuyolomba munkombyo, chakuzumina, muyozitambula.”
23 Being come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came near, as he was teaching, and said, by what authority do you these things?
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 Jesus answering, said to them, I also have a question to propose, which if you answer me, I 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 Whence had John authority to immerse? From heaven or from men? Then they reasoned thus within themselves: If we say, From heaven, he will retort, Why then did you not believe him?
Lubbabbatizyo lwaJoni - nkukuli nkulwakazwa? Lwakazwa kujulu na kuti nkubantu?” Bakambuzyania akati kabo, bakati,
26 And if we say, From men, we dread the multitude, amongst whom John is universally accounted 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 They, therefore, answered him, We can not tell. Jesus replied, Neither do I tell 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 do you think of this? A man had two sons, and addressing his elder son, said, Son, go work today in any vineyard.
Pesi muyeyaanzi mwalumi wakali abana balombe babili. Wakaya kumutanzi alubo wakati, “mwanangu, koya ukabeleke sunu mumunda wamasansa.
29 He answered, I will not, but afterward repented and went.
“Mwana wakasandula wati, “Tandiinki, pesi mukuya kwachiindi wakasandula mizezo yakwe wakinka.
30 Then addressing the younger, he bade him likewise. He answered, Immediately, Sir, but went not.
Mpawo mwalumi wakaya kumwana wachibili akwamba chintu chikozyenie. Wakasandula wati, 'Ndilayinka, 'Ta; pesi takwe nakinka pe.
31 Now, which of the two obeyed his father? They said, The first. Jesus replied, Indeed, I say to you, even the publicans and harlots show you the way into the kingdom of God.
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 to you in the way of sanctity, and you believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: yet you who saw this, did not afterward repent and 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: A landlord planted a vineyard, and hedged it round, and digged a wine press in it, and built a tower; and having farmed it out, went abroad.
“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 When the vintage approached, he sent his servants to the husbandmen to receive the fruits.
Elyo chiindi chakutebulwa kwamasansa nichakasika, wakatuma bamwi babelesi kuli basikulimina masansa kuti bakabweze michelo yakwe.
35 But they seized his servants, beat one, drove away with stones another, and killed another.
Pesi basikulimina masansa bakabweza babelesi bakwe bawuma umwi, bajaya awumwi, alubo bamutulula mabwe.
36 Again he sent other servants more respectable; but they received the same treatment;
Alubo, mwanimunda wakatuma bambi babelesi bayingi kwinda batanzi, pesi basikulimina masansa bakabajata zikozyenie.
37 finally he sent his son to them: for he said, 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 keep possession of his inheritance.
“Pesi elyo balimi bamasansa nibakabona mwana, bakati akati kabo, 'Ngoyu sikukona. Mubole, muleke tumujaye akubweza lukono.
39 Then they seized him, thrust him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
'Nkinkako bakamubweza, bamusowela kunze amuunda akumujaya.
40 When, therefore, the proprietor of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those husbandmen?
Lino elyo mwanimunda asika, ninzi nchayochita abo balimi bamasansa?”
41 They answered, He will put those wretched to a wretched death, and will let the vineyard to others, who will render him the fruits in the season.
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 replied, Did you never read in the scriptures, "A stone which the builders rejected, is made the head of the corner? This the Lord has effected, and we behold it with admiration."
Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Sena temwakabala mumalembe, Íbbwe bayaki ndibakakaka lyakachitwa munsemo. Echi chakazwa ku Mwami, alubo zilagambya mumeso esu'?
43 Know, therefore, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation who will produce the fruits of it.
Nkinkako ndamba kuti kulindinywe, bwami bwa Leza buyobwezwa kuzwa kulindinywe akuyopegwa kuchisi chiyopanga michelo yacho.
44 For whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be bruised; and on whomsoever it shall fall, it will crush him to pieces.
Kufumbwa uwida atala abbwe eli ulakutyoka kuba tumpanzi, pesi umwi ngulitawide atala ulakupwasuka.”
45 The chief priests and the Pharisees hearing his parables, perceived that he spoke of them;
Elyo bapayizi bapati aba Falisi nibakamvwa mambilambali akwe, bakamvwisisisya kuti wakalikwamba ataala ambabo.
46 but though they wished to lay hold on him, they were afraid of the populace, who reckoned him a prophet.
Bakayandula kumwanga, pesi bakayoowa makamu abantu, nkambo bantu bakali mujisi mbuli musinsiimi.
