Matthew 21
1 And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem and were come to Bethphage at the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,
Awo Yesu n’abayigirizwa be bwe baali basemberera Yerusaalemi nga batuuse kumpi n’ekibuga Besufaage ku lusozi lwa Zeyituuni, Yesu n’atuma babiri ku bayigirizwa be.
2 saying unto them, Go into the village over-against you, and ye will find directly an ass tied and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me:
N’abagamba nti, “Mugende mu kibuga ekiri mu maaso, bwe munaaba mwakakiyingira mujja kulaba endogoyi ng’esibiddwa awo wamu n’omwana gwayo. Muzisumulule muzireete wano.
3 and if any one say any thing to you, tell him the Lord hath need of them, and he will immediately send them.
Naye omuntu yenna bw’anaabaako ky’abagamba, mumuddamu nti, ‘Mukama waffe y’azeetaaga,’ amangwago ajja kuziweereza.”
4 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion,
Kino kyabaawo okutuukiriza ebigambo nnabbi bye yayogera nti,
5 behold, thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, even a colt the fole of an ass.
“Mubuulire omuwala wa Sayuuni nti, ‘Laba Kabaka wammwe ajja gye muli nga muwombeefu, nga yeebagadde omwana gw’endogoyi.’”
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus ordered them,
Awo abayigirizwa ababiri ne bagenda ne bakola nga Yesu bwe yabalagira.
7 and brought the ass and the colt, and threw their clothes over them, and set Him upon them.
Ne baleeta endogoyi n’omwana gwayo, ne baaliirako eminagiro gyabwe ku ndogoyi, n’agyebagala.
8 And great numbers spread their garments in the way, and others cut off boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way:
Abantu bangi ne baaliira engoye zaabwe mu luguudo n’abalala ne batema amatabi g’emiti ne bagaalira mu luguudo.
9 and the multitudes, that went before and that followed, cried saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: blessed be He that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
Ebibiina ebyamukulembera, n’ebyo ebyamuva emabega ne bireekaana nti, “Ozaana Omwana wa Dawudi!” “Aweereddwa omukisa oyo ajja mu linnya lya Mukama.” “Ozaana waggulu ennyo!”
10 And when He came into Jerusalem, all the city was in a commotion, saying, Who is this?
Awo Yesu bwe yayingira mu Yerusaalemi, ne wabaawo oluyoogaano mu kibuga kyonna nga beebuuza nti, “Ono ye ani?”
11 And the people answered, This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee.
Abaali mu kibiina ne baddamu nti, “Ono ye Yesu Nnabbi ava mu Nazaaleesi eky’omu Ggaliraaya.”
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and drove out all that were selling and buying in the court of the temple, and threw down the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves:
Awo Yesu n’ayingira mu Yeekaalu n’agobamu abasuubuzi bonna n’avuunika emmeeza z’abaali bawaanyisa ensimbi n’entebe z’abaali batunda amayiba.
13 and said to them, It is written, "My house shall be called the house of prayer," but ye have made it a den of thieves.
N’abagamba nti, “Kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Ennyumba yange eneeyitibwanga nnyumba ya kusabirangamu,’ naye mmwe mugifudde ‘empuku y’abanyazi.’”
14 And there came to Him in the temple both blind and lame, and He healed them:
Awo abazibe b’amaaso n’abalema ne bajja gy’ali mu Yeekaalu n’abawonya.
15 but when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonders that He wrought, and the children crying out in the temple, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were vexed to the heart, and said to Him, Dost thou hear what these say?
Naye bakabona abakulu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bwe baalaba eby’ekitalo bye yakola, n’abaana abato abaali mu Yeekaalu nga baleekaanira waggulu nti, “Ozaana Omwana wa Dawudi!” ne banyiiga.
16 And Jesus saith unto them, Yes, have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast procured praise?
Ne bamubuuza nti, “Owulira bano bye bagamba?” Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mpulira. Temusomangako nti, “‘Abaana abato n’abawere abayonka balimutendereza!’”
17 And He left them and went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there.
N’abaviira, n’afuluma mu kibuga n’agenda e Besaniya, n’asula eyo.
18 Now in the morning as He was returning to the city, He was hungry;
Awo enkeera bwe yali ng’addayo mu kibuga n’alumwa enjala,
19 and seeing a fig-tree by the way, He went up to it, and finding nothing upon it but leaves, He saith to it, Let no fruit ever hereafter grow out of thee: and the fig-tree withered immediately. (aiōn g165)
n’alengera omutiini ku mabbali g’ekkubo, n’agutuukako n’atasangako ttiini okuggyako amakoola ameereere. N’agugamba nti, “Toddangayo okubala ebibala.” Amangwago omuti ne guwotoka. (aiōn g165)
20 And the disciples seeing it were amazed and said, How suddenly is the fig-tree withered!
Abayigirizwa bwe baakiraba ne beewuunya ne beebuuza nti, “Omutiini guwotose gutya amangu?”
21 but Jesus answering said unto them, Verily I tell you, if ye have faith and doubt not, ye shall not only be able to do this to a fig-tree, but also if ye shall say to this mountain, "Be thou removed and cast into the sea," it shall be done.
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti bw’oba n’okukkiriza nga tobuusabuusa, oyinza okukola ekiri nga kino n’ebisingawo. Oyinza n’okulagira olusozi luno nti, ‘Siguka ogwe mu nnyanja,’ ne kibaawo.
22 And all things whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Buli kye munaasabanga nga mukkiriza, munaakiweebwanga.”
23 And when He was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him as He was teaching, and said, By what authority dost thou these things, and who gave thee this authority?
Awo Yesu bwe yakomawo mu Yeekaalu bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne bajja gy’ali ne bamubuuza nti, “Buyinza ki obukukoza ebyo, era ani yakuwa obuyinza obwo?”
24 but Jesus answered them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I will likewise tell you by what authority I do these things.
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Mumale okunziramu ekibuuzo kyange kino, nange ndyoke mbabuulire obuyinza bwe nkozesa bino.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves saying, If we say, from heaven, He will reply, Why then did ye not believe him?
Okubatiza kwa Yokaana kwava wa? Kwava mu ggulu oba mu bantu?” Ne basooka ne boogeraganyaamu bokka na bokka nti, “Bwe tugamba nti, ‘Kwava mu ggulu,’ ajja kutubuuza nti, ‘Kale lwaki temwamukkiriza?’
26 But if we say, of men, we fear the people, for they all esteem John as a prophet.
Ate bwe tunaagamba nti, ‘Kwava mu bantu,’ tutya ekibiina, kubanga bonna bamanyi nga Yokaana yali nnabbi.”
27 And therefore in answer to Jesus, they said, We do not know: and He said unto them, Neither do I tell you, by what authority I do these things.
Bwe batyo ne baddamu nti, “Tetumanyi!” Yesu kwe kubaddamu nti, “Nange sijja kubabuulira obuyinza bwe nkozesa bino.”
28 But what think ye of this? There was a man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, Son, go, work to day in my vineyard:
“Kale mulowooza mutya ku kino? Waaliwo omusajja eyalina abaana be babiri, n’agamba omubereberye nti, ‘Genda okole mu nnimiro y’emizabbibu leero.’
29 and he answered I will not; but afterwards repenting, he went.
“Omulenzi n’addamu nti, ‘ŋŋaanyi,’ naye oluvannyuma ne yeerowooza n’agenda.
30 And coming to the second, he spake in like manner: and he answered, Yes, Sir; and went not.
“Ate kitaabwe n’agenda eri omulala n’amugamba ekintu kye kimu. Naye ye n’addamu nti, ‘Nnaagenda mukama wange.’ Naye n’atagenda.
31 Now which of the two did the will of his father? They say unto Him, The first. Jesus replied, Verily I say unto you, that publicans and prostitutes enter into the kingdom of God before you:
“Kale, ku bombi aliwa eyagondera kitaawe?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Omulenzi ow’olubereberye.” Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, abasolooza b’omusolo ne bamalaaya balibasooka okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda.
32 for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him; but publicans and harlots believed him; and though ye saw that, ye did not repent afterwards, to believe him.
Kubanga Yokaana yajja ng’abuulira ekkubo ery’obutuukirivu naye ne mutamukkiriza. Wabula abasolooza b’omusolo ne bamalaaya baamukkiriza, newaakubadde nga mwakiraba, oluvannyuma temwenenya kumukkiririzaamu.”
33 Hear another parable, There was a certain man, a master of a family, that planted a vineyard, and made a fence about it, and put a wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and travelled abroad.
“Muwulirize olugero olulala. Waaliwo omusajja ssemaka eyalina emizabbibu, n’agyetoolooza olukomera, n’asimamu essogolero, n’azimbamu n’omunaala, n’agipangisa abalimi, n’agenda olugendo.
34 And when the fruit-season drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it:
Ekiseera ky’amakungula bwe kyatuuka, n’atuma abaddu be eri abalimi banone ebibala byamu.
35 and the husbandmen took his servants and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
“Naye abalimi ne badda ku baddu be, omu ne bamukuba, n’omulala ne bamutta, n’omulala ne bamukasuukirira amayinja.
36 And he sent again other servants more than the first: and they did the like to them.
Ate n’abatumira abaddu abalala nga bangiko okusinga abaasooka, era nabo ne babayisa mu ngeri y’emu nga bali abaasooka.
37 At last he sent unto them his Son, saying, They will reverence my Son.
Oluvannyuma n’abatumira mutabani we, ng’alowooza nti, ‘Bajja kumussaamu ekitiibwa.’
38 But when the husbandmen saw the Son, they said among themselves, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and seize on his inheritance:
“Naye abalimi bwe baalaba omwana ng’ajja ne bateesa nti, ‘Ono y’agenda okusika, ka tumutte, ebyobusika bwe biriba byaffe!’
39 so they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and slew him.
Bwe batyo ne bamufulumya ebweru w’ennimiro y’emizabbibu ne bamutta.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to those husbandmen?
Kale nannyini nnimiro y’emizabbibu bw’alikomawo alibakola atya?”
41 They answer, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Abantu abo ababi bwe batyo alibazikiririza ddala, ennimiro y’emizabbibu n’agipangisa abalimi abalala abanaamuwanga ebibala mu ntuuko zaabyo.”
42 Then saith Jesus to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, "The stone which the builders refused, is made the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?"
Awo Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Temusomanga ku Kyawandiikibwa kino nti, “‘Ejjinja abazimbi lye baagaana lye lifuuse ejjinja ekkulu ery’oku nsonda. Kino kyava eri Mukama era kya kyewuunyo.’
43 Therefore I tell you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation, that will bring forth the fruits thereof.
“Kyenva mbagamba nti, Obwakabaka bwa Katonda bulibaggyibwako ne buweebwa eggwanga eribala ebibala byabwo.
44 And he that stumbleth at this stone shall be bruised, but on whomsoever it falls, it will crush him to pieces.
Oyo alyesitala n’agwa ku jjinja eryo, alibetentebwa, na buli gwe lirigwako lirimubetenta.”
45 And when the chief priests and pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that He spake of them:
Awo bakabona abakulu n’Abafalisaayo bwe baabiwulira ne bategeera nga Yesu bo b’ayogerako.
46 and would have seized Him, but that they were afraid of the people; because they took Him for a prophet.
Ne baagala bamukwate, naye ne batya ekibiina, kubanga abantu Yesu baamukkiriza, nga nnabbi.
