< Mathayo 21 >
1 Na rĩrĩa maakuhĩrĩirie Jerusalemu, maakinya itũũra rĩa Bethifage kũu Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Mĩtamaiyũ-rĩ, Jesũ agĩtũma arutwo ake eerĩ,
And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi itũũra rĩrĩa rĩrĩ mbere yanyu, na mwaingĩra o ũguo nĩmũgũkora ndigiri yohetwo, ĩrĩ na njaũ yayo. Ciohorei mũndehere.
saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose [them], and bring [them] unto me.
3 Na mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ angĩmũũria ũndũ-rĩ, mwĩrei atĩ Mwathani nĩabatarĩtio nĩcio, na nĩegũcicookia o narua.”
And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 Ũndũ ũyũ wekĩkire nĩgeetha ũrathi ũrĩa waarĩtio na kanua ka mũnabii ũhinge, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ:
Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 “Ĩrai Mwarĩ wa Zayuni atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki waku nĩarooka kũrĩwe, nĩ mũhooreri na akuuĩtwo nĩ ndigiri, o njaũ ya ndigiri.’”
Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass.
6 Nao arutwo magĩthiĩ magĩĩka o ũrĩa Jesũ aamerĩte.
And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them,
7 Makĩrehe ndigiri na njaũ yayo, na makĩara nguo ciao igũrũ rĩayo, nake Jesũ agĩkuuo nĩyo.
and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon.
8 Na andũ gĩkundi kĩnene mũno makĩara nguo ciao njĩra-inĩ, nao arĩa angĩ magĩtua mathĩgĩ ma mĩtĩ makĩmaara njĩra-inĩ.
And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.
9 Nacio ikundi cia andũ arĩa maamũtongoretie na arĩa maamũrũmĩrĩire maanagĩrĩra makoiga atĩrĩ, “Hosana, Mũrũ wa Daudi!” “Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũgũũka na rĩĩtwa rĩa Mwathani!” “Hosana igũrũ, o igũrũ mũno!”
And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 Rĩrĩa Jesũ aatoonyire Jerusalemu, andũ a itũũra rĩu inene rĩothe makĩambũrũrũka, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nake nũũ?”
And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?
11 Nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩgĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe Jesũ ũrĩa mũnabii wa kuuma Nazarethi itũũra rĩa Galili.”
And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Nake Jesũ agĩtoonya kũu hekarũ-inĩ akĩrutũrũra andũ othe arĩa maagũraga na meendagia indo kuo, akĩngʼaũrania metha cia arĩa maakũũranagia mbeeca, na akĩngʼaũrania itĩ cia arĩa meendagia ndutura.
And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;
13 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, ‘Nyũmba yakwa ĩgeetagwo nyũmba ya kũhooyagĩrwo,’ no inyuĩ mũmĩtuĩte ‘ngurunga ya atunyani.’”
and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers.
14 Nao atumumu na cionje magĩthiĩ kũrĩ we kũu hekarũ-inĩ, nake akĩmahonia.
And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
15 No rĩrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na arutani a watho moonire maũndũ ma magegania marĩa eekaga, na maigua ũrĩa ciana cianagĩrĩra kũu hekarũ-inĩ ikiugaga atĩrĩ, “Hosana Mũrũ wa Daudi,” makĩrakara.
But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with indignation,
16 Makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũraigua ũrĩa ciana ici iroiga?” Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩndĩraigua. Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtathomete ciugo iria ciugĩte atĩrĩ, “‘Kuuma tũnua-inĩ twa twana na twa ngenge nĩũtũmĩte hoime ũgooci’?”
and said unto him, Hearest thou what these are saying? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 Agĩcooka akĩmatiga, akiuma itũũra rĩu inene, agĩthiĩ Bethania, akĩraara kuo.
And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 Na rũciinĩ tene, arĩ njĩra agĩcooka kũu itũũra inene, akĩigua arĩ mũhũũtu.
Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he hungered.
19 Nake akĩona mũkũyũ mũkĩra wa njĩra, agĩthiĩ harĩ guo, no ndaigana kuona kĩndũ thĩinĩ waguo tiga o mathangũ. Nake akĩwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũroaga gũgaaciara maciaro rĩngĩ!” O hĩndĩ ĩyo mũtĩ ũcio ũkĩhoha. (aiōn )
And seeing a fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn )
20 Rĩrĩa arutwo ake moonire ũguo makĩgega, makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũkũyũ ũyũ wahooha narua atĩa?”
And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away?
21 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, mũngĩkorwo na wĩtĩkio na mũtigathanganie-rĩ, to ũguo mũkũyũ ũyũ wĩkĩtwo mũngĩhota gwĩka, no rĩrĩ, o na no mũhote kwĩra kĩrĩma gĩkĩ atĩrĩ, ‘Ũrokũũrũka ũikio iria-inĩ,’ na gwĩkĩke ũguo.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done.
22 Maũndũ mothe marĩa mũrĩhooyaga mwĩtĩkĩtie nĩmũkaheo.”
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 Na rĩrĩa Jesũ aatoonyire hekarũ-inĩ-rĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na athuuri a andũ makĩmũkora akĩrutana, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũreka maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ? Na nũũ ũkũheete ũhoti ũcio?”
And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 Nake Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ nĩngũmũũria kĩũria. Mwanjookeria-rĩ, nĩngũmwĩra njĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Ũbatithio wa Johana-rĩ, woimĩte kũ? Woimĩte igũrũ-ĩ, kana woimĩte kũrĩ andũ?” Makĩaranĩria o ene ũhoro ũcio, makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Tũngiuga atĩ, ‘Woimĩte igũrũ’, egũtũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Mwakĩregire kũmwĩtĩkia nĩkĩ?’
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him?
26 No tũngiuga atĩ, ‘Woimĩte kũrĩ andũ’, nĩtũgwĩtigĩra andũ, nĩgũkorwo othe nĩmeetĩkĩtie atĩ Johana aarĩ mũnabii.”
But if we shall say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩcookeria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtiũĩ.” Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ ndikũmwĩra njĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ.
And they answered Jesus, and said, We know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 “Na rĩrĩ, mũgwĩciiria atĩa? Nĩ kwarĩ na mũndũ warĩ na ariũ eerĩ. Agĩthiĩ harĩ ũrĩa wa mbere, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Mũriũ, thiĩ ũkarute wĩra ũmũthĩ mũgũnda-inĩ wa mĩthabibũ.’
But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in the vineyard.
29 “Nake agĩcookia, akiuga, ‘Ndigũthiĩ,’ no thuutha akĩĩricũkwo, agĩthiĩ.
And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went.
30 “Ningĩ mũthuuri ũcio agĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũriũ ũcio ũngĩ akĩmwĩra o ũguo. Nake agĩcookia akiuga, ‘Ĩĩ baba, nĩngũthiĩ,’ no ndaathiire.
And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
31 “Acio eerĩ-rĩ, nũũ wekire ũrĩa ithe eendaga?” Magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũrĩa wa mbere.” Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ na ma, etia mbeeca cia igooti na maraya nĩmaratoonya ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai mbere yanyu.
Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Nĩgũkorwo Johana ookire kũrĩ inyuĩ amwonie njĩra ya ũthingu, no mũtiamwĩtĩkirie, no etia mbeeca cia igooti na maraya nĩmamwĩtĩkirie. Na inyuĩ o na muona ũguo, mũtiigana kwĩrira mũmwĩtĩkie.
For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him.
33 “Ta thikĩrĩriai ngerekano ĩngĩ: Mũndũ warĩ mwene mũgũnda nĩahaandire mũgũnda ũcio wake mĩthabibũ. Agĩaka rũgiri rũgĩthiũrũrũkĩria mũgũnda ũcio, akĩenja kĩhihĩro gĩa thabibũ o kũu thĩinĩ, na agĩaka nyũmba ndaaya na igũrũ ya arangĩri. Agĩcooka agĩkomborithia mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ kũrĩ arĩmi na agĩthiĩ rũgendo.
Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.
34 Hĩndĩ ya kũgetha yakuhĩrĩria-rĩ, agĩtũma ndungata ciake kũrĩ akombori acio nĩguo ikanengerwo maciaro make.
And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits.
35 “Akombori acio makĩnyiita ndungata ciake; makĩhũũra ĩmwe, na makĩũraga ĩrĩa ĩngĩ, na ya gatatũ makĩmĩhũũra na mahiga nyuguto.
And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Agĩcooka akĩmatũmĩra ndungata ingĩ nyingĩ kũrĩ iria aatũmĩte mbere, nao akombori acio magĩciĩka o ro ũguo.
Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them in like manner.
37 Mũthia-inĩ akĩmatũmĩra mũrũwe, akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩmagatĩĩa mũrũ wakwa.’
But afterward he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 “No rĩrĩa akombori acio moonire mũriũ, makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩwe ũkaagaya mũgũnda ũyũ. Ũkai tũmũũrage, twĩyoere igai rĩake.’
But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance.
39 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũnyiita, makĩmũikia nja ya mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ, na makĩmũũraga.
And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩrĩa mwene mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ agooka-rĩ, ageeka akombori acio atĩa?”
When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩakaniina andũ acio aaganu, na acooke akomborithie andũ angĩ mũgũnda ũcio, arĩa marĩmũgayagĩra maciaro hĩndĩ ya magetha yakinya.”
They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Nake Jesũ akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mũtathomete thĩinĩ wa Maandĩko atĩ: “‘Ihiga rĩrĩa aaki maaregire nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga inene rĩa koine; Mwathani nĩ we wĩkĩte ũndũ ũcio, na nĩ wa magegania tũkĩwona’?
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; This was from the Lord, And it is marvellous in our eyes?
43 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngũmwĩra atĩrĩ, ũthamaki wa Ngai nĩũkeeherio kũrĩ inyuĩ, ũheo andũ angĩ arĩa magaaciaraga maciaro maguo.
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũkaagwĩra ihiga rĩrĩ nĩagathuthĩka, no ũrĩa ũkaagwĩrwo nĩrĩo nĩrĩkamũthethera.”
And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
45 Rĩrĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na Afarisai maaiguire ngerekano icio cia Jesũ, makĩmenya atĩ aaragia ũhoro wao.
And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
46 Magĩcaria ũrĩa mangĩmũnyiita, no nĩmetigagĩra kĩrĩndĩ kĩu, tondũ andũ nĩmeetĩkĩtie atĩ aarĩ mũnabii.
And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet.
