< Mark 11 >

1 Now as they came to Jerusalem, they were close to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, and Jesus sent out two of his disciples
Awo Yesu n’abayigirizwa be, bwe baali basemberedde Besufaage ne Besaniya ebiriraanye Yerusaalemi, nga batuuse ku lusozi olwa Zeyituuni, Yesu n’atuma abayigirizwa be babiri babasooke mu maaso.
2 and said to them, “Go into the village opposite us. As soon as you enter it, you will find a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it to me.
N’abalagira nti, “Mugende mu kyalo ekituli mu maaso, bwe munaaba mwakakituukamu mujja kulaba omwana gw’endogoyi oguteebagalwangako nga gusibiddwa awo. Mugusumulule mugundeetere wano.
3 If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' you should say, 'The Lord has need of it and will immediately send it back here.'”
Era omuntu yenna bw’ababuuza gye mugutwala, mumuddamu nti, ‘Mukama waffe y’agwetaaga, era tujja kugukomyawo mangu.’”
4 They went away and found a colt tied at a door outside on the open street, and they untied it.
Abaatumibwa ne bagenda, ne balaba omwana gw’endogoyi nga guyimiridde ku luguudo, naye nga gusibiddwa ku muguwa wabweru w’ennyumba. Bwe baali bagusumulula,
5 Some people were standing there and said to them, “What are you doing, untying that colt?”
abamu ku bantu abaali bayimiridde awo ne bababuuza nti, “Abange, omwana gw’endogoyi, musumulula gwa ki?”
6 They spoke to them as Jesus told them, and the people let them go their way.
Abayigirizwa ne baddamu nga Yesu bwe yabagamba, ne balyoka babakkiriza okugutwala.
7 The two disciples brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it so Jesus could ride it.
Omwana gw’endogoyi ne baguleetera Yesu. Abayigirizwa be ne baddira ebyambalo byabwe ne babyaliira ku mugongo gwayo, Yesu n’agwebagala.
8 Many people spread their garments on the road, and others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
Awo abantu bangi abaali mu kibiina ne baaliira engoye zaabwe mu luguudo mwe yali agenda okuyita, abalala ne bamenya amatabi g’emiti mu nnimiro ezaali okumpi, nago ne bagaalira mu luguudo.
9 Those who went before him and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
Abaali mu maaso ge n’abaali emabega we, bonna ne baleekaanira waggulu nti: “Ozaana!” “Atenderezebwe oyo ajja mu linnya lya Mukama!”
10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!”
“Atenderezebwe olw’okukomyawo obwakabaka bwa jjajjaffe Dawudi n’okubuwa omukisa!” “Ozaana! Ayi ali waggulu ennyo!”
11 Then Jesus entered into Jerusalem and went into the temple and looked around at everything. Now, the time being late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
Awo Yesu n’atuuka mu Yerusaalemi, n’ayingira mu Yeekaalu. N’atunula, ne yeetoolooza amaaso wonna, naye obudde bwali buyise, n’afuluma n’agenda e Besaniya n’abayigirizwa be ekkumi n’ababiri.
12 The next day, when they returned from Bethany, he was hungry.
Enkeera bwe baali bava e Besaniya, Yesu n’alumwa enjala.
13 Seeing from far away a fig tree that had leaves, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it, and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
N’alengera omutiini, nga guddugazza bulungi amalagala, n’agendayo alabe obanga anaasangako ebibala. Yagenda okugutuukako nga kuliko makoola meereere, kubanga si kye kyali ekiseera kyagwo okubaako ebibala.
14 He spoke to it, “No one will ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
Awo Yesu n’agamba omuti nti, “Omuntu yenna alemenga okuddayo okulya ekibala kyo!” Abayigirizwa be ne bamuwulira ng’akyogera. (aiōn g165)
15 They came to Jerusalem, and he entered the temple and began to cast out the sellers and the buyers in the temple. He turned over the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons.
Bwe baatuuka mu Yerusaalemi n’ayingira mu Yeekaalu, n’atandika okugobamu abaali batundiramu n’abaali baguliramu, n’avuunika emmeeza z’abaali bawaanyisa ensimbi, n’avuunika n’entebe z’abatunzi b’amayiba.
16 He did not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple that could be sold.
Era n’ataganya muntu kuyisa kintu kyonna.
17 He taught them and said, “Is it not written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers.”
N’abayigiriza ng’agamba nti, “Tekyawandiikabwa nti, ‘Ennyumba yange eneebanga nnyumba ya kusabiramu amawanga?’ Naye mmwe mugifudde mpuku y’abanyazi.”
18 The chief priests and the scribes heard what he had said, and they looked for a way to kill him. For they feared him because the entire crowd was amazed at his teaching.
Bakabona abakulu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bwe baakiwulira, ne batandika okusala amagezi balabe bwe bayinza okumuzikiriza. Baali bamutya engeri ekibiina kyonna bwe kyali kyewuunya okuyigiriza kwe.
19 When evening came, they left the city.
Obudde bwe bwawungeera Yesu n’abayigirizwa be ne bafuluma mu kibuga.
20 As they walked by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots.
Awo enkeera mu makya abayigirizwa be ne balaba omuti omutiini Yesu gwe yakolimira nga gukaze okuviira ddala ku kikolo!
21 Peter remembered and said, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered away.”
Peetero n’ajjukira n’agamba Yesu nti, “Omuyigiriza, laba omutiini gwe wakolimira gukaze!”
22 Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
Yesu n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Mukkiririze mu Katonda.
23 Truly I say to you that whoever says to this mountain, 'Get up and cast yourself into the sea,' and if he does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he said will happen, that is what God will do.
Ddala ddala mbagamba nti buli aligamba olusozi luno nti, ‘Siguka ogwe mu nnyanja,’ n’atabuusabuusa mu mutima gwe, naye n’aba n’okukkiriza, ky’ayogedde kirituukirira.
24 Therefore I say to you: Everything you pray and ask for, believe that you received it, and it will be yours.
Noolwekyo mbagamba nti buli kye munaasabanga, mukkirize nti mukiweereddwa, era kinaabanga bwe kityo gye muli.
25 When you stand and pray, you must forgive whatever you have against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your trespasses.”
Bwe mubanga mugenda okusaba musonyiwenga omuntu yenna gwe mulinako ensonga, ne Kitammwe ali mu ggulu alyoke abasonyiwe ebyonoono byammwe.
Naye bwe mutaasonyiwenga, ne Kitammwe ali mu ggulu talibasonyiwa byonoono byammwe.”
27 They came to Jerusalem again. As Jesus was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him.
Yesu n’abayigirizwa be bwe baakomawo mu Yerusaalemi yali atambulatambula mu Yeekaalu, bakabona abakulu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne bajja gy’ali
28 They said to him, “By what authority do you do these things, and who gave you the authority to do them?”
ne bamubuuza nti, “Buyinza ki obukukoza bino? Era ani yakuwa obuyinza okukola bino?”
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Tell me and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Naye Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Bwe munaamala okunziramu ekibuuzo kyange kimu, nange n’ababuulira eyampa obuyinza obwo!
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me.”
Okubatiza kwa Yokaana kwava mu ggulu oba kwava eri bantu? Munziremu!”
31 They discussed between themselves and argued and said, “If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
Ne bakubaganya ebirowoozo bokka na bokka nti, “Bwe tuddamu nti, ‘Kwava mu ggulu,’ ajja kutubuuza nti, ‘Kale, lwaki temwamukkiriza?’
32 But if we say, 'From men,' ... .” They were afraid of the people, for everyone was convinced that John was a prophet.
Naye, ate bwe tuddamu nti, ‘Kwava eri bantu.’” Baali batya ekibiina ky’abantu. Kubanga buli muntu yalowooza Yokaana okuba nnabbi.
33 Then they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” Then Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Ne baddamu Yesu nti, “Tetumanyi.” Awo Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Nange sijja kubabuulira obuyinza obunkoza ebintu ebyo gye mbuggya.”
