Matthew 21
1 And when they approached Jerusalem, and had reached Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them.
Mu thangu bafikama ku Yelusalemi, batula ku Betefange, buala buidi ku mongo minti mi olive, Yesu wutuma minlonguki miodi ayi
2 "Go on into the village facing you, and at once you will find an ass tied, and her colt with her. Loose them and bring them to me.
wuba kamba: —Yendanu ku buala bobo buidi ku ntualꞌeno. Buna ma lumona phunda yi nketo yikangama ayi muanꞌandi wu mbakala va ndambu; luzinianguna ayi lundatina ziawu.
3 "And if any one says anything to you, tell him, ‘The Master needs them,’ and he will send them without delay."
Enati mutu wuluyuvudi, buna luvutula: “Pfumu wuzivuidi mfunu”. Buna wela kuzifidisa mu nsualu.
4 This happened in fulfilment of the word spoken though the prophet.
Mambu momo mavangama mu diambu di dedikisa mambu matuba mbikudi:
5 Say to the daughter of Zion, "Behold thy King cometh to thee, Gentle and sitting upon an ass, And upon a colt, the fool of a beast of burden."
Lukamba kuidi ndumba yi Sioni Tala Ntinuꞌaku wizidi kuidi ngeyo widi wulembama; widi va yilu phunda yi nketo vuendi va mbata muana phunda, muana wu phunda yi nketo.
6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus told them;
Minlonguki miyenda, mivanga boso Yesu kaba kambila.
7 they led back the ass and her colt, and placed their cloaks on them.
Minata phunda yinketo ayi muana phunda, miyala minledi miawu va mbata ziphunda beni bosi Yesu wuvuanda vana.
8 Then Jesus seated himself upon them, and most of the crowd kept spreading their cloaks on the road, and others began cutting branches off the trees, and spreading them in the road.
Nkangu wu batu bawombo bayala minledi miawu mu nzila. Bankaka bazenga matafi ma minti ayi bayala mawu mu nzila.
9 And the crowds who preceded and those who followed after him shouted again and again, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed be he who is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"
Nkangu wu batu bobo baba ku ntuala ayi bobo baba ku mbusa, baba yamikinanga: Ozana kuidi Muana wu Davidi! Bika kasakumunu mutu wowo wunkuizila mu dizina di Pfumu Ozana mu bibuangu bizangama!
10 And as he came into Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred. "Who is this?" they said.
Bu kakota mu Yelusalemi, divula dioso dinikuka. Bayuvula: —Nani mutu wowo e?
11 And the crowds answered, "This is the Prophet Jesus, from Nazareth, in Galilee."
Nkangu wu batu wuvutula: —Yesu, mbikudi wu Nazaleti mu zunga ki Ngalili!
12 Then Jesus entered into the Temple courts, and cast out all who were buying and selling there, and overturned the tables of the money- changers, and the seats of those who sold pigeons.
Yesu wukota mu luphangu lu Nzo Nzambi, wukuka batu boso baba sumba bima. Wusengubula zimeza zi bobo baba sienzanga zimbongo ayi bikundu bi bobo baba nsumbisa mabembi.
13 "It is written," he said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of thieves."
Ayi wuba kamba: —Disonama ti Nzo ama yela tedolo Nzo yi lusambulu vayi beno lukitudi yawu suamunu ki mivi.
14 Then the blind and the lame came to him in the Temple courts, and he healed them.
Baphofo ayi bantiudikanga bayiza kuidi niandi muna luphangu lu Nzo Nzambi ayi wubabelusa.
15 But when the chief priests and the Scribes saw the wonderful works he did, and the boys who were shouting in the Temple Courts and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!"
Bapfumu zi banganga Nzambi ayi minlongi mi Mina mifuema ngolo bu bamona bikumu biobi bivanga Yesu ayi bu bamona bana baba yamikina mu khati luphangu lu nzo Nzambi ti: “Ozana, kuidi muana Davidi!”
16 they asked him, "Do you hear what they are saying?" "Surely," said Jesus, "and have you never read, Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?"
Diawu banyuvudila: —Wulembo wi kuaku mambu momo bana bobo balembo tubi e? Yesu wuba vutudila: —Nyinga! Vayi lutengi ko: Ngeyo wutambula Nzitusu aku mu miunu mi bana balezi ayi nate mu miunu mi bana batsombi?
17 So he left them and went outside the city, to Bethany, and spent the night there.
Bosi wubabika, wutotuka mu divula, wuyenda ku Betani kuawu kaleka.
18 At dawn, when he was on his way back into the city, he was hungry;
Mu nsuka-nsuka bu kaba mvutuka ku divula, wumona nzala.
19 and when he saw a solitary fig tree beside the road, he went to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. And he said to it, "Let no man gather fruit from you forever." And at once the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
Bu kamona nti wumosi wu figi va ndambu nzila, wufikama vaba nti beni vayi meza na meza kaka kamona. Buna wukamba nti beni: —Wulendi buela butanga kadi dikundi dimosi ko! Muna thangu beni nti wu figi wutumbu yuma. (aiōn g165)
20 When his disciples saw this, they were astonished. "How instantaneously," they said, "the fig tree withered!"
Minlonguki bu mimona bobo, misimina ayi miyuvula: —A buevi nti wowo wuvikidi yumina?
21 In reply Jesus said to them, "In solemn truth I tell you that if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Up, cast yourself into the sea!’ it shall be done;
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba enati minu kidi yeno ayi enati lulendi memata ko, bika sia ti lubeki kaka buvangila mambu maphengi mu nti wu figi wawu vayi lubeki bukambila kuidi mongo wowo: “Katuka vava, wukiloza mu mbu!” ayi mela vangama.
22 "and everything that you ask for in your prayers you shall have, if you believe."
Mambu mamo malunlomba mu lusambulu, luela matambula enati luwilukidi.
23 When he had entered the Temple courts, and was teaching, the high priests and elders of the people came to him and asked him, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?"
Yesu wukota mu Nzo Nzambi. Mu thangu kaba nlonga, bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi bakulutu ba batu bayiza fikama va kaba ayi banyuvula: —Mu lulendo mbi wulembo vangila mambu momo? Ayi nani wuvana lulendo beni?
24 Jesus answered. "I also will put a question to you, which, if you tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Thidi kuluyuvula mamvana kiuvu kimosi. Enati lupheni mvutu, buna bosi minu mamvama ndieka kulukamba mu lulendo mbi ndilembo vangila mambu mama.
25 John’s baptism, whence was it, from heaven or from man?" So they began debating about it among themselves.
Nani wuvana Yowani minsua mu botika, Nzambi voti batu? Batona findana bawu na bawu ziphaka ayi batuba: —Beto kuiza kambi ti “Nzambi” buna maka tukamba ti “bila mbi lumanga kunwilukila?”
26 "If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the crowd, for they all regard Johnas a prophet."
Bosi beto kamba ti “Batu” boma tummona mu diambu di nkangu wu batu bila baboso bazebi ti Yowani widi mbikudi.
27 So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." He said to them, "Nor am I going to tell you in what authority I do these deeds.
Buna bavutudila Yesu: —Tusi zaba ko! Niandi mamvandi wuba kamba: —Minu mamvama ndilendi kulukamba ko kani mu lulendo mbi ndilembo vangilanga mambu momo.
28 "But give me your judgment. There was once a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said to him, "‘Son, go work today in my vineyard!’
Buevi lumbanza mu diambu diadi? Mutu wumosi wuba ayi bana bandi buadi bababakala. Wuyiza kuidi wutheti ayi wunkamba: “A muanꞌama yenda sadi buabu ku ndima yi vinu!”
29 "‘I will go, sir,’ he answered; yet he did not go.
Muana beni wumvutudila: “Mbengi kuama” Bosi kunzimunina, wubalula mayindu ayi wuyenda.
30 "Then he went to the second, and said the same thing to him. "‘I will not,’ he answered; but afterward he changed his mind and went.
Dise diyenda kuidi muana wummuadi ayi mo mawu mambu kankamba. Niandi wuvutula “Nyinga Tata, ndinkuenda.” Vayi kasi kuenda ko.
31 "Which of these two did the will of his father?" "The last," they replied. "I tell you truly," said Jesus, "that the tax-gatherers and harlots are going into the kingdom of heaven before you!
Nani wuvanga luzolo lu Dise mu bana babuadi? Bamvutudila: —Muana wutheti. Buna Yesu wuba kamba: —Bukiedika ndikulukamba mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi bandumba leta bela kulutuaminina mu kota mu Kipfumu ki Nzambi.
32 "For Johncame to you in the road of righteousness, and you did not give credence to him; but the tax-gatherers and the harlots gave credence to him. But you, although you saw this, did not even then change your minds and give credence to him.
Bila Yowani wuyiza mu kulumonisa nzila yi busonga vayi lumanga kunwilukila. Muaki mimfutisi mi ziphaku ayi bandumba leta banwilukila. Ka diambu ko lumona momo vayi lusia balula mavanga ko muingi ku nzimunina lunwilukila.
33 "Listen to another parable. "A man who was a householder planted a vineyard, fenced it about, dug a wine vat in it, built a tower, then rented it to vine-dressers and went abroad.
—Wanu nongo yinkaka: Mutu wumosi wuba ndimꞌandi yi vinu, wutungila yawu luphangu, wukaba dibulu dimosi mu kamuninanga mimbutu ma vinu. Wutunga nzo yi banga mu diambu di sunganga ndimꞌandi. Wuyekula ndima beni mu mioko mi bisadi bi ndima muingi bayifutilanga; bosi wuyenda mu nzietolo.
Thangu yi mvelongo mimbutu bu yifuana, wutuma bisadi biandi kuidi bisadi biobi kadefisa ndima beni muingi belandi ndambuꞌandi mimbutu.
35 "And the vine-dressers seized his slaves, flogged one, killed another, and stoned a third.
Vayi minkuni mi ndima yi vinu beni mibuila bisadi biandi: mibeta wumosi, mivonda wunkaka bosi milozila wuntatu matadi.
36 "Again he sent other slaves, a larger number than at first, and they treated them in the same way.
Pfumu yi ndima vinu beni wutuma bisadi binkaka; lelo bawombo katuma viokila bobo katuama tuma va theti vayi mambu mo mawu bavangulu kuidi bobo kasia bikila ndima.
37 "And last he sent his son to them; ‘Surely they will respect my son,’ he said.
Bosi wuba fidisila muanꞌandi bu katuba ti: bela kinzika muanꞌama.
38 "But when the vine-dressers saw his son, they said to themselves. "‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance.’
Vayi minkuni buna mimona muana beni wulembo yizi, mikambasana ti: “Taleno mutu wowo wela vinginina kiuka, yizanu tumvonda muingi kiuka kikituka kieto.”
39 "So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
Mimbuila, minkoka ku nganda yi ndima ayi mimvonda.
40 "When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-dressers?"
Buevi lumbanza, thangu pfumu yi ndima yi vinu bu kela vutuka, buevi kela vangila minkuni miomio?
41 "He will utterly destroy those wretches," they answered, "and will entrust his vineyard to other vine-dressers, who will pay back the fruits to him in their season."
Bamvutudila: —Wela vonda, mu kambu kiadi batu bobo bambimbi. Bosi wela defisa ndima yi vinu beni kuidi minkuni minkaka miomi miela kumvananga mimbutu mu kadika thangu yeti velo mimbutu!
42 "Have you never read in the Scriptures," Jesus answered, "how The stone that the builders rejected Has been made the corner-stone; This is the Lord’s doing, It is wonderful in our eyes?
Bosi Yesu wuba kamba: —Kadi khumbu lutengi ko mu masonoko: Ditadi diodi diloza mintungi dikituka ditadi di mfunu, di fuma ki nzo. Pfumu niandi wuvanga buawu. Ayi didi diambu di tsiminanga mu meso meto!
43 "I tell you that for this reason the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation that does produce the fruit of it.
Diawu ndikulukambila ti bela kuluziona Kipfumu ki Nzambi ayi bela vana kiawu kuidi batu bobo bela kibutila mimbutu.
44 "He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but he upon whom it falls will be scattered as dust."
Vayi woso mutu wela bua va ditadi beni wela keluka mu bitini, vayi woso wela builu ditadi beni wela mana kosumuka.
45 As they listened to his parables, the chief priests and the Pharisees recognized that he was speaking about them;
Buna bamana wa zinongo ziozi, bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi Bafalisi babakula ti Yesu bawu kalembo yolukila.
46 but although they longed to apprehend him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet.
Batomba nzila yi kunkangila vayi nkangu wu batu baba mona boma bila batu bammona ti niandi widi mbikudi.
