Matthew 21
1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage (on *N(k)O*) the Mount of Olives, then (*ko*) Jesus sent two disciples
Walipokaribia Yerusalemu, wakafika Bethfage katika Mlima wa Mizeituni. Ndipo Yesu akawatuma wanafunzi wake wawili,
2 saying to them; (do go *N(k)O*) into the village which [is] (in front *N(k)O*) of you. and immediately you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her; having untied [them] (do bring [them] *NK(o)*) to Me.
akawaambia, “Nendeni katika kijiji kilichoko mbele yenu, nanyi mtamkuta punda amefungwa hapo, na mwana-punda pamoja naye. Wafungueni na mniletee.
3 And if anyone to you may say anything, you will say that the Lord of them need has, Immediately then (he will send *NK(o)*) them.
Kama mtu yeyote akiwasemesha lolote, mwambieni kwamba Bwana ana haja nao, naye atawaruhusu mwalete mara.”
4 This then (all *k*) has come to pass that it may be fulfilled that having been spoken through the prophet saying;
Haya yalitukia ili litimie lile lililonenwa na nabii, akisema:
5 do say to the daughter of Zion; Behold the King of you comes to you, gentle and already riding on a donkey even (upon *no*) a colt [the] foal of a beast of burden.
“Mwambieni Binti Sayuni, ‘Tazama, mfalme wako anakuja kwako, ni mnyenyekevu, naye amepanda punda, juu ya mwana-punda, mtoto wa punda.’”
6 Having gone then the disciples and having done even as (directed *N(k)O*) to them Jesus,
Wale wanafunzi wakaenda, wakafanya kama Yesu alivyokuwa amewaagiza.
7 they brought the donkey and the colt and put (upon *N(k)O*) them the cloaks (of them *k*) and He sat on them.
Wakamleta yule punda na mwana-punda, nao wakatandika mavazi yao juu ya hao punda, naye Yesu akaketi juu yake.
8 The now very great crowd spread their own cloaks on the road, others now were cutting down branches from the trees and were spreading [them] on the road.
Umati mkubwa wa watu ukatandaza mavazi yao barabarani, na wengine wakakata matawi kutoka kwenye miti, wakayatandaza barabarani.
9 The now crowds which are going before (Him *no*) and those following they were crying out saying: Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed [is] the [One] coming in [the] name of [the] Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
Ule umati wa watu uliomtangulia na ule uliomfuata ukapiga kelele ukisema, “Hosana, Mwana wa Daudi!” “Amebarikiwa yeye ajaye kwa Jina la Bwana!” “Hosana juu mbinguni!”
10 And when was entering He into Jerusalem was stirred all the city saying; Who is this?
Yesu alipoingia Yerusalemu, mji wote ukataharuki, watu wakauliza, “Huyu ni nani?”
11 And the crowds were saying; This is the prophet Jesus, the [One] from Nazareth of Galilee.
Ule umati wa watu ukajibu, “Huyu ni Yesu, yule nabii kutoka Nazareti katika Galilaya.”
12 And entered (*k*) Jesus into the temple (of God *K*) and cast out all those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money changers He overturned and the seats of those selling the doves.
Yesu akaingia katika eneo la Hekalu na kuwafukuza wote waliokuwa wakinunua na kuuza vitu Hekaluni. Akazipindua meza za wale waliokuwa wakibadilisha fedha, na pia viti vya wale waliokuwa wakiuza njiwa.
13 And He says to them; It has been written: The house of Mine a house of prayer will be called,’ You yourselves however it (make *N(k)O*) a den of robbers.’
Akawaambia, “Imeandikwa, ‘Nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya sala,’ lakini ninyi mmeifanya kuwa pango la wanyangʼanyi.”
14 And came to Him blind and lame in the temple, and He healed them.
Vipofu na vilema wakamwendea kule Hekaluni, naye akawaponya.
15 Having seen now the chief priests and the scribes the wonders that He did and the children (who *no*) are crying out in the temple and saying; Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant
Lakini viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria walipoona mambo ya ajabu aliyofanya na kuwasikia watoto wakishangilia katika eneo la Hekalu wakisema, “Hosana Mwana wa Daudi,” walikasirika.
16 and said to Him; Hear you what these say? And Jesus says to them; Yes. surely sometime you did read that Out of [the] mouth of babes and sucklings You have prepared for yourself praise’?
Wakamuuliza Yesu, “Je, unasikia hayo hawa wanayosema?” Akawajibu, “Naam; kwani hamkusoma, “‘Midomoni mwa watoto wachanga na wanyonyao umeamuru sifa’?”
17 And having left them He went out of the city to Bethany and He passed the night there.
Akawaacha, akatoka nje ya mji, akaenda hadi Bethania, akalala huko.
18 (Early *N(k)O*) then (he is coming back *NK(o)*) into the city He became hungry,
Asubuhi na mapema, Yesu alipokuwa akirudi mjini, alikuwa na njaa.
19 And having seen fig tree one along the road He came to it and no [thing] found on it only except leaves alone And He says to it; (certainly *o*) no more from you fruit there may be to the age. And withered immediately the fig tree. (aiōn g165)
Akauona mtini kando ya barabara, naye akaukaribia, lakini hakupata tunda lolote ila majani. Ndipo akauambia, “Wewe usizae matunda tena kamwe!” Papo hapo ule mtini ukanyauka. (aiōn g165)
20 And having seen [it] the disciples marveled saying; How so quickly withered the fig tree?
Wanafunzi wake walipoona jambo hili, wakashangaa, wakamuuliza, “Imekuwaje mtini huu kunyauka ghafula?”
21 Answering now Jesus said to them; Amen I say to you; if you shall have faith and not shall doubt, not only the [miracle] of the fig tree will you do, but even if even if to the mountain this you shall say; do be taken away and do be cast into the sea, it will come to pass;
Yesu akawajibu, “Amin, nawaambia, kama mkiwa na imani wala msiwe na shaka, si kwamba mtaweza kufanya tu yale yaliyofanyika kwa huu mtini, bali hata mkiuambia huu mlima, ‘Ngʼoka, ukatupwe baharini,’ litafanyika.
22 And all things as much as (maybe *NK(o)*) you shall ask in prayer believing, you will receive.
Yoyote mtakayoyaomba mkisali na mkiamini, mtayapokea.”
23 And (when was coming He *N(k)O*) into the temple came to Him teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people saying; By what authority these things are You doing And who to You gave authority this?
Yesu alipoingia Hekaluni, viongozi wa makuhani na wazee wa watu wakamjia alipokuwa anafundisha na kusema, “Unafanya mambo haya kwa mamlaka gani? Na ni nani aliyekupa mamlaka hayo?”
24 Answering now Jesus said to them; Will ask you I myself also I myself also thing one, which if you shall tell Me I myself also I myself also to you will say by what authority these things I do.
Yesu akawajibu, “Nami nitawauliza swali moja. Kama mkinijibu, nami nitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani ninafanya mambo haya.
25 The baptism (*no*) of John from where was it? From heaven or from men? And they were reasoning (among *N(k)O*) themselves saying; If we shall say; From heaven, He will say to us; Because of why then not did you believe in him?
Ubatizo wa Yohana, ulitoka wapi? Je, ulitoka mbinguni au kwa wanadamu?” Wakahojiana wao kwa wao na kusema, “Tukisema ulitoka mbinguni atatuuliza, ‘Mbona basi hamkumwamini?’
26 If however we shall say; From men, we fear the multitude; all for as a prophet hold John.
Lakini tukisema, ‘Ulitoka kwa wanadamu,’ tunawaogopa hawa watu, maana wote wanamtambua Yohana kuwa ni nabii.”
27 And answering Jesus they said; Not do we know. Was saying to them also He himself; Neither I myself tell you by what authority these things I do.
Kwa hiyo wakamjibu Yesu, “Sisi hatujui.” Naye akawaambia, “Wala mimi sitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani ninatenda mambo haya.”
28 What however you think? A man had sons two, and having come to the first he said; Son, do go today do work in the vineyard (of mine. *k*)
“Lakini mwaonaje? Mtu mmoja alikuwa na wana wawili. Akamwendea yule wa kwanza akamwambia, ‘Mwanangu, nenda ukafanye kazi kwenye shamba la mizabibu leo.’
29 And answering he said; Not I want to; Afterward however having repented he went.
“Yule mwanawe akamjibu ‘Mimi sitakwenda.’ Baadaye akabadili mawazo yake akaenda.
30 (and *k*) Having come (then *no*) to the (other *N(K)O*) he said likewise. And answering he said; I myself [will] sir; and not did he go.
“Kisha yule baba akamwendea yule mwanawe mwingine akamwambia vilevile. Yeye akajibu, ‘Nitakwenda, bwana,’ lakini hakwenda.
31 Which of the two did the will of the father? They say (to him: *k*) The (first. *NK(O)*) Says to them Jesus; Amen I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you into the kingdom of God.
“Ni yupi kati yao hao wawili aliyetimiza kile alichotaka baba yake?” Wakamjibu, “Ni yule wa kwanza.” Yesu akawaambia, “Amin, amin nawaambia, watoza ushuru na makahaba wanawatangulia kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu.
32 Came for John to you in [the] way of righteousness, and not you did believe in him; however the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed in him. you yourselves then having seen (not even *N(k)O*) did repent afterward to believe him.
Kwa maana Yohana alikuja kwenu kuwaonyesha njia ya haki, lakini hamkumsadiki, lakini watoza ushuru na makahaba wakamsadiki. Nanyi hata mlipoona hayo, baadaye hamkutubu na kumsadiki.
33 Another parable do hear: A man (who *k*) there was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and a fence around it placed and he dug in it a winepress and he built a tower and he rented out it to farmers and he traveled abroad.
“Sikilizeni mfano mwingine: Kulikuwa na mtu mmoja mwenye shamba ambaye alipanda shamba la mizabibu. Akajenga ukuta kulizunguka, akatengeneza shinikizo ndani yake na akajenga mnara wa ulinzi. Kisha akalikodisha hilo shamba la mizabibu kwa wakulima fulani, naye akaondoka, akasafiri kwenda nchi nyingine.
34 When then drew near the season of the fruits, he sent the servants of him to the farmers to receive the fruits of him.
Wakati wa mavuno ulipokaribia, akawatuma watumishi wake kwa hao wapangaji ili kukusanya matunda yake.
35 And having taken the farmers the servants of him, the one they beat, another and they killed, another and they stoned.
“Wale wapangaji wakawakamata wale watumishi, wakampiga mmoja, wakamuua mwingine, na yule wa tatu wakampiga mawe.
36 Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them likewise.
Kisha akawatuma kwao watumishi wengine, wengi kuliko wale wa kwanza, nao wale wapangaji wakawatendea vilevile.
37 Afterward then he sent to them the son of him saying; They will respect the son of mine.
Mwisho wa yote, akamtuma mwanawe kwao, akisema, ‘Watamheshimu mwanangu.’
38 But the farmers having seen the son said among themselves; This is the heir; come, let us kill him and (let us have *N(k)O*) the inheritance of him.
“Lakini wale wapangaji walipomwona mwanawe, wakasemezana wao kwa wao, ‘Huyu ndiye mrithi. Njooni tumuue, ili tuchukue urithi wake.’
39 And having taking him they cast [him] out of the vineyard and killed [him].
Hivyo wakamchukua, wakamtupa nje ya shamba la mizabibu, wakamuua.
40 When therefore may come the master of the vineyard, what will he do farmers to those?
“Kwa hiyo, huyo mwenye shamba la mizabibu atakapokuja, atawafanyia nini hao wakulima?”
41 They say to him; [The] wretches grievously He will destroy them and the vineyard he will rent out to other farmers who will give to him the fruits in the seasons of them.
Wakamjibu, “Kwa huzuni kuu atawaangamiza kabisa hao wadhalimu na kulipangisha shamba lake la mizabibu kwa wakulima wengine ambao watampatia fungu lake la matunda wakati wa mavuno.”
42 Says to them Jesus; surely sometime you did read in the Scriptures: [The] stone which rejected those building, this has become the chief corner. From [the] Lord was this, and it is marvelous in [the] eyes of us?’
Yesu akawaambia, “Je, hamjasoma katika Maandiko kwamba: “‘Jiwe walilolikataa waashi limekuwa jiwe kuu la pembeni. Bwana ndiye alitenda jambo hili, nalo ni la ajabu machoni petu’?
43 Because of this I say to you that it will be taken away from you the kingdom of God and it will be given to a people producing the fruits of it.
“Kwa hiyo ninawaambia, Ufalme wa Mungu utaondolewa kwenu na kupewa watu wengine wawezao kuzaa matunda yake.
44 And the [one] having fallen on stone this will be broken; on whomever but maybe it may fall, it will grind to powder him.
Yeye aangukaye juu ya jiwe hili atavunjika vipande vipande, lakini yule litakayemwangukia atasagwa kabisa.”
45 And having heard the chief priests and the Pharisees the parables of Him they knew that about them He speaks.
Viongozi wa Makuhani na Mafarisayo waliposikia mifano ya Yesu, walitambua kuwa alikuwa akiwasema wao.
46 And seeking Him to lay hold of they feared the crowds, (because to *N(k)O*) a prophet Him they were holding.
Wakatafuta njia ya kumkamata, lakini wakaogopa umati wa watu, kwa kuwa watu walimwona Yesu kuwa ni nabii.
