Mariko 11
1 Na rĩrĩ, maakuhĩrĩria itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu, maakinya matũũra ma Bethifage na Bethania hau Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ-rĩ, Jesũ agĩtũma arutwo ake eerĩ,
Now when they were approaching Jerusalem, near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives,
2 akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi itũũra rĩĩrĩa rĩrĩ mbere yanyu, na mwatoonya o ũguo, nĩmũkuona njaũ ya ndigiri yohetwo hau, nayo ndĩrĩ yakuua mũndũ. Mĩohorei mũmĩrehe.
Jesus sent two of his disciples and told them. "Go to that village in front of you, and immediately on entering it you will find a colt tied, upon which no man has ever sat; untie him and bring him here.
3 Na mũngĩũrio nĩ mũndũ atĩrĩ, ‘Mũreka ũguo nĩkĩ?’ Mwĩrei atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani nĩabatarĩtio nĩyo na nĩekũmĩcookia haha o narua.’”
And if any man asks you, ‘Why are you doing that?" answer, ‘The Lord has need of him, and he will immediately send him back.’"
4 Nao magĩthiĩ magĩkora njaũ ya ndigiri yohetwo mũromo-inĩ handũ nja, hakuhĩ na njĩra. Na rĩrĩa maamĩohoraga-rĩ,
So they went and found a colt tied outside a door, in the open street, and untied it.
5 andũ arĩa maarũngiĩ ho makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrohora njaũ ĩyo nĩkĩ?”
And some of the bystanders began to say to them, "What are you trying to do, untying that colt?"
6 Nao makĩmacookeria o ũrĩa Jesũ aamerĩte, nao andũ acio makĩmetĩkĩria mathiĩ nayo.
So they answered them just as Jesus had told them, and they let them take it.
7 Rĩrĩa maatwarĩire Jesũ njaũ ĩyo, makĩmĩtandĩka nguo ciao nake Jesũ agĩkuuo nĩyo.
Then they brought the colt to Jesus, and when they had thrown cloaks upon it, Jesus seated himself on it.
8 Andũ aingĩ makĩara nguo ciao njĩra-inĩ, nao arĩa angĩ makĩara mathĩgĩ marĩa maatuĩte mĩgũnda-inĩ.
Then many spread their cloaks on the road, and others, soft leafy branches, which they had cut from the fields;
9 Andũ arĩa maatongoretie na arĩa maamumĩte thuutha makĩanĩrĩra makiuga atĩrĩ, “Hosana!” “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ ũrĩa ũgũũka na rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani!”
and those who went before him and those who came after kept shouting. "Hosanna! Blessed be He who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ ũthamaki ũrĩa ũgũũka, ũrĩa wa ithe witũ Daudi!” “Hosana igũrũ o igũrũ!”
Blessed be the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna, in the highest!"
11 Nake Jesũ aatoonya Jerusalemu, agĩthiĩ hekarũ-inĩ. Na aarĩkia kwĩrorangĩra maũndũ mothe, akiumagara agĩthiĩ Bethania hamwe na arutwo arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ, tondũ kwarĩ hwaĩ-inĩ.
Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the Temple, and after he had looked around at everything, as the hour was now late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rĩrĩa moimaga Bethania, Jesũ akĩigua ahũtiĩ.
The next day after leaving Bethany he was hungry,
13 Nake akĩona mũkũyũ warĩ haraaya ũrĩ na mathangũ maruru agĩthiĩ kũrora kana warĩ na ngũyũ. Aakinya harĩ guo, agĩkora ndwarĩ na ngũyũ tiga o mathangũ, tondũ ndĩarĩ hĩndĩ ya mĩkũyũ gũciara.
and seeing a fig tree in the distance full of leaves, he came to see if he could find anything on it, and found on it nothing but leaves (for it was not the time of figs).
14 Nake akĩĩra mũkũyũ ũcio atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ndakanarĩe maciaro maku nginya tene.” Nao arutwo ake makĩigua akiuga ũguo. (aiōn g165)
So, addressing the tree, he said, "Let no man ever more eat fruit from you." And the disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
15 Na maakinya Jerusalemu, Jesũ agĩtoonya hekarũ thĩinĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kũrutũrũra arĩa maagũraga, na arĩa meendanagĩria kuo. Akĩngʼaũrania metha cia arĩa maakũũranagia mbeeca, o na itĩ cia arĩa meendagia ndutura,
Presently they reached Jerusalem, and, after entering the Temple courts, Jesus began to drive out those who were buying and selling there, and to upset the tables of the money-changers, and the stalls of those who sold doves,
16 na ndangĩetĩkĩririe mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ahĩtũkĩrie kĩndũ gĩa kwendia kũu nja cia hekarũ.
and he would not allow any one to carry a vessel through the Temple courts, Then he began to teach.
17 Na rĩrĩa aamarutaga, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ũhoro ndwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “‘Nyũmba yakwa ĩgeetagwo nyũmba ya mahooya ya kũhooyagĩrwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe’? No inyuĩ mũmĩtuĩte ‘ngurunga ya atunyani’.”
"Is it not written," he said, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? But you have made it a den of robbers."
18 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na arutani a watho maigua ũguo, makĩambĩrĩria gũcaria ũrĩa mangĩmũũraga, nĩ ũndũ nĩmamwĩtigagĩra, tondũ kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe nĩkĩagegetio nĩ ũrutani wake.
The chief priests and the Scribes heard this, and they began to seek means of destroying him; for they were afraid of him because all the crowd were greatly struck with his teaching.
19 Gwakinya hwaĩ-inĩ, Jesũ na arutwo ake makiuma itũũra rĩu.
Now every evening he used to go outside the city;
20 Rũciinĩ, makĩhĩtũka makĩona mũkũyũ ũrĩa Jesũ aarumĩĩte ũũmĩte wothe nginya mĩri.
and as they (he and his disciples) were passing along in the morning, they saw the fig tree already withered from the root.
21 Petero akĩririkana ũhoro wa mũkũyũ ũcio, akĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Rabii, ta rora! Mũkũyũ ũrĩa ũrarumire-rĩ, nĩũũmĩte!”
Then Peter remembered, and exclaimed, "Look, Rabbi, the fig tree which you cursed is withered up."
22 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkiai Ngai.
"Take hold on God’s faithfulness," said Jesus to them in reply.
23 Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũndũ angĩkeera kĩrĩma gĩkĩ atĩrĩ, ‘Thiĩ, wĩikie iria-inĩ,’ na ndagathanganie ngoro-inĩ yake, no etĩkie atĩ ũrĩa oiga nĩũgwĩkĩka-rĩ, nĩagekĩrwo ũndũ ũcio.
"In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, ‘Up and hurl yourself into the sea!’ and shall not doubt in his heart, but on the contrary shall believe that what he says will happen, it will be granted him.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũrĩa wothe mũrĩhooyaga mũheo, ĩtĩkagiai atĩ nĩ mũrĩkĩtie kũwamũkĩra, naguo nĩũrĩtuĩkaga wanyu.
That is why I am telling you that whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it shall be yours.
25 Na rĩrĩa mwarũgama mũhooe, mũrekanagĩre angĩkorwo mũrĩ ũthũ na mũndũ, nĩgeetha Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ o nake amũrekagĩre mehia manyu.” (
And whenever you stand up to pray, forgive, if you have anything against any one, that so your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."
26 No mũngĩkorwo mũtirekanagĩra mehia, nake Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ ndarĩmũrekagĩra mehia manyu.)
27 Magĩkinya o rĩngĩ Jerusalemu, na rĩrĩa Jesũ aaceeraga kũu nja cia hekarũ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, na arutani a watho, o na athuuri magĩũka kũrĩ we.
Once more they came into Jerusalem; and as he was walking in the Temple courts, there came to him the high priests and Scribes and elders and asked him.
28 Makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ? Na nũũ wakũheire ũhoti wa gwĩka maũndũ maya?”
"By what authority do you do these things? or who gave you this authority to do these things?"
29 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũmũũria kĩũria kĩmwe. Mwanjookeria, na niĩ nĩngũmwĩra njĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ.
"And I will put one question to you," replied Jesus. "Answer this, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 Ũbatithio wa Johana-rĩ, woimire igũrũ kana kũrĩ andũ? Njookeriai!”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me!"
31 Makĩaranĩria o ene ũhoro ũcio, makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Tũngiuga atĩ, ‘Woimire igũrũ’, egũtũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Mwakĩregire kũmwĩtĩkia nĩkĩ?’
Then they began arguing with one another. "If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?"
32 No tũngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Woimire kũrĩ andũ’ ….” (Nĩmetigagĩra andũ, tondũ andũ othe mooĩ kũna atĩ Johana aarĩ mũnabii.)
On the other hand, if we say, ‘From men’!"They were afraid, however, of the people, for every one held that Johnhad been really a prophet.
33 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩcookeria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtiũĩ.” Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ ndikũmwĩra njĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ.”
So their answer to Jesus was, "We do not know." "Neither will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
