Matthew 21
1 When they were come near Jerusalem and had arrived at Bethphage and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of the disciples on in front,
A Yeshu na bhaajiganywa bhabho bhakabhandishilanjeje ku Yelushalemu gubhaikengenenje ku Bhetipage tome na shitumbi sha Misheituni, gubhaatumilenjeje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhabhili,
2 saying to them, "Go to the village you see facing you, and as you enter it you will find a she-ass tied up and a foal with her. Untie her and bring them to me.
gubhaalugulilenje, “Nnjendangane kushijiji shili mmujo jenunji, kweneko shimung'imananje mbunda atabhilwe naka mwanagwe. Mwagopolanje nkajiye nabhonji.
3 And if any one says anything to you, say, 'The Master needs them,' and he will at once send them."
Monaga mundu ammuyangaga shoshowe, munnugulilanje, ‘Bhakulungwa bhanakwaapinganga,’ nabhalabho shangupe shibhampanganje.”
4 This took place in order that the Prophet's prediction might be fulfilled:
Genega gashinkutendeka nkupinga gatimilile gegala galugwilwe na ankulondola bha a Nnungu bhalinkuti,
5 "Tell the Daughter of Zion, 'See, thy King is coming to thee, gentle, and yet mounted on an ass, even on a colt the foal of a beast of burden.'"
“Mwaabhalanjilanje bhashilambo ku Shayuni, ‘Munnole, Mpalume jwenu anakwiya! Ashikwitimalika na ashikwela mbunda, Mwana jwa mbunda.’”
6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them:
Bhaajiganywa bhala gubhapitengene, nigubhatendilenje malinga shibhalugulilwenje na a Yeshu.
7 they brought the she-ass and the foal, and threw their outer garments on them. So He sat on them;
Gubhanjiye nabhonji mbunda jula naka mwanagwe, gubhatandikenje nngubho yabhonji panani jabhonji na a Yeshu gubhakwelile nitama panani nngubho paka mwana mbunda.
8 and most of the crowd kept spreading their garments along the road, while others cut branches from the trees and carpeted the road with them,
Bhandu bhagumbelenje bhala gubhatandikenje nngubho yabhonji ina mumpanda, na bhandu bhananji gubhatemilenje maagala gubhatandikenje mumpanda.
9 and the multitudes--some of the people preceding Him and some following--sang aloud, "God save the Son of David! Blessings on Him who comes in the Lord's name! God in the highest Heavens save Him!"
Bhandu bhabhagwinji bhalinginji mmujo na bhalinginji nnyuma bhala, gubhautiyenje lilobhe bhalinkutinji, “Nnumbililwe Bhaulongo gwa a Daudi! Apegwe mboka jwene akwiya kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa! Bhalumbililwe a Nnungu bhali Kunnungu!”
10 When He thus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was thrown into commotion, every one inquiring, "Who is this?"
A Yeshu bhakajinjileje ku Yelushalemu, shilambo showe gushigumbele nnjasha. Bhandunji gubhalinginji nkubhuya, “Jweneju gani?”
11 "This is Jesus, the Prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee," replied the crowds.
Likundi lya bhandunji munkumbi mula gubhashitenje, “Bhenebha a nkulondola bha a Nnungu a Yeshu, kopoka ku Nashaleti shilambo sha Galilaya.”
12 Entering the Temple, Jesus drove out all who were buying and selling there, and overturned the money-changers' tables and the seats of the pigeon-dealers.
Bhai, a Yeshu gubhajinjile ku liekalu, gubhaabhinjilenje palanga bhandu bhaushangaga na uma indu ku liekalu, gubhapindikulenye mesha ya bhaatindiganya mmbiya bhala na itengu ya bhaushanga ngunda.
13 "It is written," He said, "'My House shall be called the House of Prayer', but you are making it a robbers' cave."
Gubhaalugulilenje, “Ishijandikwa Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo, ‘Nyumba jangu shijishemwe nyumba ja nyujila nne.’ Ikabheje mmanganya nshikujitendanga lishembo lya bhaapokonyola indu.”
14 And the blind and the lame came to Him in the Temple, and He cured them.
Ashinangalole na bhalemelenje gubhaajendelenje ku liekaluko, nabhalabho a Yeshu gubhaalamiyenje.
15 But when the High Priests and the Scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done and the children who were crying aloud in the Temple, "God save the Son of David," they were filled with indignation.
Bhai, bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila na bhaajiganya bha Shalia bhakaibhonanjeje ilapo ibhatendile a Yeshu, na bhana bhashoko pubhautiyangaga lilobhe ku liekalu bhalinkutinji, “Bhalumbililwe Bhaulongo gwa a Daudi,” gubhatumbelenje.
16 "Do you hear," they asked Him, "what these children are saying?" "Yes," He replied; "have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of infants and of babes at the breast Thou hast brought forth the praise which is due'?"
Kwa nneyo gubhaalugulilenje, “Bhuli, nkapilikana ibhaabheleketanga?” A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Elo, ngulipilikana! Bhuli, nkanabhe shomanga Mmajandiko? ‘Kwa kang'wa ya bhana bhashoko na ashinambombe Shibhannumbililanje.’”
17 So He left them and went out of the city to Bethany and passed the night there.
Bhai, gubhaaleshilenje, gubhajabhwile pa shilambo pala gubhapite ku Bhetania, gubhagonile kweneko.
18 Early in the morning as He was on His way to return to the city He was hungry,
Lyambape a Yeshu bhalibhuja kwenda ku Yelushalemu, gubhakwete shibhanga.
19 and seeing a fig-tree on the road-side He went up to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. "On you," He said, "no fruit shall ever again grow." And immediately the fig-tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
Gubhagubhweni nkongo gumo gwa tini nnyenje mpanda, gubhaujendele, ikabheje bhangashibhona shindu ikabhe maambape. Bhai, gubhaulugulile nkongo gula, “Unaogoye kabhili iepo pitipiti!” Shangupe nkongo gwa tini gula ukunyalaga. (aiōn g165)
20 When the disciples saw it they exclaimed in astonishment, "How instantaneously the fig-tree has withered away!"
Bhaajiganywa bhakaubhonanjeje bhashinkulapanga, gubhashitenje, “Kwa nndi agu nkongogu ushinyala shangupe?”
21 "I solemnly tell you," said Jesus, "that if you have an unwavering faith, you shall not only perform such a miracle as this of the fig-tree, but that even if you say to this mountain, 'Be thou lifted up and hurled into the sea,' it shall be done;
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, monaga nkolangaga ngulupai gwangali lipamba, shinkombolanje tenda nngabha ga ntinipe, ikabheje nkali kushilugulila ashi shitumbishi, ‘Tutumbuka ukatumbushile mmashi,’ shiitendeshe.
22 and everything, whatever it be, that you ask for in your prayers, if you have faith, you shall obtain."
Na nkolangaga ngulupai, shoshowe shishinnjuganje kwa a Nnungu, shimpegwanje.”
23 He entered the Temple; and while He was teaching, the High Priests and the Elders of the people came to Him and asked Him, "By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you this authority?"
A Yeshu bhakajinjileje ku liekalu bhali nkujiganya, bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila na bhanangulungwa bha bhandunji gubhaajendelenje nikwaabhuya, “Nnatenda genega kwa ukulungwa ukeni? Gani ampele jene amuliji?”
24 "And I also have a question to ask you," replied Jesus, "and if you answer me, I in turn will tell you by what authority I do these things.
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Na nne ngunakumuyanga, nnyangulangaga, bhai na nne shininnugulilanje ngunatenda genega kwa ukulungwa ukeni.
25 John's Baptism, whence was it? --had it a heavenly or a human origin?" So they debated the matter among themselves. "If we say 'a heavenly origin,'" they argued, "he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
Bhuli, ubhatisho gwa a Yowana kugwakoposhele kwei? Bhuli, kugwakoposhele kwa a Nnungu eu ku bhandu?” Ikabheje gubhabheketelenje ashaayenenji, Tulugulaga, “Kugwakoposhele kwa a Nnungu,” shibhatubhuye, “Bhai, pakuti mwangakulupalilanga?”
26 and if we say 'a human origin' we have the people to fear, for they all hold John to have been a Prophet."
Na tulugulaga, “Kugwakoposhele ku bhandu,” tunakwaajogopanga bhandunji pabha bhowe bhanakundanga kuti a Yowana ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
27 So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." "Nor do I tell you," He replied, "by what authority I do these things."
Bhai, gubhaajangwilenje, “Tukakumumanya!” Nabhalabho a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Numbe nne ngannugulilanga ngunatenda genega kwa ukulungwa gwashi.”
28 "But give me your judgement. There was a man who had two sons. He came to the elder of them, and said, "'My son, go and work in the vineyard to-day.'
“Mmanganya nkubhonanga bhuli? Bhandu bhamo bhashinkukola bhana bhabhili. Gubhannugulile jwankulu jula, ‘Mwanangu, lelo ukakamule liengo kunngunda gwa mishabhibhu.’
29 "'I will not,' he replied. "But afterwards he was sorry, and went.
Nshanda jula gwajangwile, ‘Ngajenda!’ Ikabheje gwaibhushiye, kungai gwapite kamula liengo.
30 He came to the second and spoke in the same manner. His answer was, "'I will go, Sir.' "But he did not go.
Ainamundu bhala gubhannugulile jwa nnung'una jula nneila peila, jwalakwe akwaajangulaga, ‘Atati shinyende!’ Ikabheje jwangajenda.
31 Which of the two did as his father desired?" "The first," they said. "I solemnly tell you,' replied Jesus, "that the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners are entering the Kingdom of God in front of you.
Bhuli, bhene bhabhilibha jwei atendile ibhapinga Ainamundu?” Gubhaajangwilenje, “Jwankulu jula.” Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, bhakamula koli na bha labhalabha shibhannongolelanje kujinjila Muupalume gwa a Nnungu.”
32 For John came to you observing all sorts of ritual, and you put no faith in him: the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners did put faith in him, and you, though you saw this example set you, were not even afterwards sorry so as to believe him.
Pabha a Yowana bhanng'ishilenje na kunnanguyanga mpanda gwa aki mwangaakulupalilanga, ikabheje bhakamula koli na bha labhalabha bhashinkwaakulupalilanga. Nkali nkagabhonanjeje gowego mmanganya mwangaipetanga nikwaakulupalila.
33 "Listen to another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, made a fence round it, dug a wine-tank in it, and built a strong lodge; then let the place to vine-dressers, and went abroad.
A Yeshu gubhashite, mpilikananje lutango luna. Bhandu bhamo bhashinkulima nngunda gwa mishabhibhu, gubhatimbiliye lubhigo, gubhaolile liiko lya minyila divai, gubhashenjile na nyingo ja tama bhalinda. Kungai gubhaakolishiyenje bhaalima, gubhajabhwile kwenda shilambo sha talika.
34 When vintage-time approached, he sent his servants to the vine-dressers to receive his share of the grapes;
Gakaisheje mobha ga maneng'eno, gubhaatumilenje bhatumishi bhabho ku bhaalimanga bhala, nkupinga bhakatolelanje ndalo.
35 but the vine-dressers seized the servants, and one they cruelly beat, one they killed, one they pelted with stones.
Bhaalimanga bhala gubhaakamwilenje bhatumishi bhala, jumo gubhankomilenje na juna gubhammulegenje na juna gubhankomilenje maganga mpaka gwawile.
36 Again he sent another party of servants more numerous than the first; and these they treated in the same manner.
Bhandu bhala gubhaatumilenje kabhili bhatumishi bhana, bhabhagwinji punda bhalongolelenje bhala. Bhaalimanga bhala gubhaatendelenje nneila peila malinga bhalongolelenje bhala.
37 Later still he sent to them his son, saying, "'They will respect my son.'
Kumpelo gubhantumile mwanagwabho akuno bhaliganishiya, shibhannjogopanje pabha mwanangu.
38 "But the vine-dressers, when they saw the son, said to one another, "'Here is the heir: come, let us kill him and get his inheritance.'
Ikabheje bhaalimanga bhala bhakammonanjeje mwanagwabho gubhabheleketenje ashaayenenji, “Jweneju ni apinga lishi, tummulaje tutole ulishi gwakwe!”
39 "So they seized him, dragged him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
Bhai, gubhankamwilenje, gubhampelekenje kunyenje nngunda gwa mishabhibhu gula, gubhammulegenje.
40 When then the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-dressers?"
“Lelo, bhayene nngunda gwa mishabhibhu pushibhaishepo, shibhaatendanje bhuli bhaalimangabho?”
41 "He will put the wretches to a wretched death," was the reply, "and will entrust the vineyard to other vine-dressers who will render the produce to him at the vintage season."
Gubhajangwilenje, “Shibhaabhulaganje bhaalimanga bhangali bha mbonenjibho, na nngunda gula shibhaapanganje bhaalimanga bhananji, shibhajiye kwaapanganga ndalo.”
42 "Have you never read in the Scriptures," said Jesus, "'The Stone which the builders rejected has been made the Cornerstone: this Cornerstone came from the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes'?
Penepo a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Bhuli, nkanabheshomanga yenei Mmajandiko? ‘Liganga libhalikanilenje bhaashenga Nnaino lishibha liganga likulu lya pa ndumba. Bhakulungwa bhatendile lyeneli, Na kunngwetu uwe ni lya lapa!’
43 "That, I tell you, is the reason why the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and given to a nation that will exhibit the power of it.
“Kwa nneyo ngunakummalanjilanga, Upalume gwa a Nnungu upinga shoywa kungwenunji, bhapegwanje bhandunji bha ilambo ina, shibhakombolanje kutenda ibhapinga a Nnungu.”
44 He who falls on this stone will be severely hurt; but he on whom it falls will be utterly crushed."
Na jwene shaagwile lyene ligangalyo, shatemekanje ipande, na jojowe shilinngwile lyene ligangalyo, shakandaganywe.
45 After listening to His parables the High Priests and the Pharisees perceived that He was speaking about them;
Bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila na Mapalishayo bhakapilikananjeje ndango ya a Yeshu, gubhamumanyinji kuti bhanakwaabheleketanga.
46 but though they were eager to lay hands upon Him, they were afraid of the people, for by them He was regarded as a Prophet.
Kwa nneyo gubhaloleyenje mwakwaakamulila, ikabheje bhatendaga kwaajogopanga bhandunji, pabha bhandunji bhamumanyinji kuti ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
