1 Na rĩrĩ, maakuhĩrĩria itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu, maakinya matũũra ma Bethifage na Bethania hau Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ-rĩ, Jesũ agĩtũma arutwo ake eerĩ,
When they came near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples
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.
and said to them, “Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him and bring him.
3 Na mũngĩũrio nĩ mũndũ atĩrĩ, ‘Mũreka ũguo nĩkĩ?’ Mwĩrei atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani nĩabatarĩtio nĩyo na nĩekũmĩcookia haha o narua.’”
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”
4 Nao magĩthiĩ magĩkora njaũ ya ndigiri yohetwo mũromo-inĩ handũ nja, hakuhĩ na njĩra. Na rĩrĩa maamĩohoraga-rĩ,
They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
5 andũ arĩa maarũngiĩ ho makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrohora njaũ ĩyo nĩkĩ?”
Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”
6 Nao makĩmacookeria o ũrĩa Jesũ aamerĩte, nao andũ acio makĩmetĩkĩria mathiĩ nayo.
They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
7 Rĩrĩa maatwarĩire Jesũ njaũ ĩyo, makĩmĩtandĩka nguo ciao nake Jesũ agĩkuuo nĩyo.
They brought the young donkey to Jesus and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
8 Andũ aingĩ makĩara nguo ciao njĩra-inĩ, nao arĩa angĩ makĩara mathĩgĩ marĩa maatuĩte mĩgũnda-inĩ.
Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
9 Andũ arĩa maatongoretie na arĩa maamumĩte thuutha makĩanĩrĩra makiuga atĩrĩ, “Hosana!” “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ ũrĩa ũgũũka na rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani!”
Those who went in front and those who followed cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is 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 is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! 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.
Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rĩrĩa moimaga Bethania, Jesũ akĩigua ahũtiĩ.
The next day, when they had come out from 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.
Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
14 Nake akĩĩra mũkũyũ ũcio atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ndakanarĩe maciaro maku nginya tene.” Nao arutwo ake makĩigua akiuga ũguo. (aiōn g165)
Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his 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,
They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
16 na ndangĩetĩkĩririe mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ahĩtũkĩrie kĩndũ gĩa kwendia kũu nja cia hekarũ.
He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
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’.”
He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will 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 it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.
19 Gwakinya hwaĩ-inĩ, Jesũ na arutwo ake makiuma itũũra rĩu.
When evening came, he went out of the city.
20 Rũciinĩ, makĩhĩtũka makĩona mũkũyũ ũrĩa Jesũ aarumĩĩte ũũmĩte wothe nginya mĩri.
As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
21 Petero akĩririkana ũhoro wa mũkũyũ ũcio, akĩĩra Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Rabii, ta rora! Mũkũyũ ũrĩa ũrarumire-rĩ, nĩũũmĩte!”
Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”
22 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkiai Ngai.
Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.
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.
For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening, he shall have whatever he says.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũrĩa wothe mũrĩhooyaga mũheo, ĩtĩkagiai atĩ nĩ mũrĩkĩtie kũwamũkĩra, naguo nĩũrĩtuĩkaga wanyu.
Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
25 Na rĩrĩa mwarũgama mũhooe, mũrekanagĩre angĩkorwo mũrĩ ũthũ na mũndũ, nĩgeetha Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ o nake amũrekagĩre mehia manyu.” (
Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.
26 No mũngĩkorwo mũtirekanagĩra mehia, nake Ithe wanyu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ ndarĩmũrekagĩra mehia manyu.)
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”
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.
They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to him,
28 Makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ? Na nũũ wakũheire ũhoti wa gwĩka maũndũ maya?”
and they began saying to him, “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.
Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, 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?’
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘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.)
If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be 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.”
They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
