Matei 21
1 Yesu na vawuliwa vaki pavahegelili, ku Yelusalemu na kuhika Betifage kuchitumbi cha Mizeituni ndi akavatuma vawuliwa vaki vavili,
And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,
2 akavajovela, “Muhamba pachijiji cha palongolo yinu yati mwikolela lipunda na mwana waki vakungiwi, muvawopola muniletelayi nene.
saying to them, Go m the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with her; loose and bring them to me.
3 Ngati mundu akavakota chochoha, mumjovela, ‘Bambu akumgana,’ Bahapo yati akuvalekela.”
And if any one say aught to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and he will immediately send them.
4 Mambu ago gahengiki muni malovi geajovili Mlota wa Chapanga gatimilayi,
Now this took place, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 “Ujovela muji wa Siyoni, Lola, Nkosi waku akukubwelela! Mngolongondi na akweli panani ya lipunda, mwana wa lipunda hinyama yeyigega ndwika.”
“Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy king cometh to thee, meek, and riding on an ass, and on a colt the foal of a beast of burden.”
6 Mewa vawuliwa vaki vakahamba na kukita ngati chevalagaziwi na Yesu.
And the disciples o went, and did as Jesus bade them,
7 Vamletili lipunda na mwana waki, vakavayambatisa nyula panani yavi, na Yesu akatama panani yaki.
and brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their garments, and he sat on them.
8 Msambi uvaha wa vandu vadandisi nyula zavi munjila na vangi vadumwili matutu ga mikongo na kudandasa munjila.
And very many of the multitude spread their garments in the road; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them in the road.
9 Msambi wa vandu vevamlongolili na vevamulandili vala vakajova kwa lwami luvaha. “Ulumbiwa Mwana wa Daudi! Amotisiwa mwenuyo mweibwela paliina la Bambu! Chapanga alumbiwa kunani!”
And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, were crying out, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heavens!
10 Yesu peavi mukuyingila ku Yelusalemu, muji woha wakenyemwiki. Vandu vakotanayi, “Mwenuyu ndi yani?”
And when he came into Jerusalem, the whole city was in commotion, saying, Who is this?
11 Vandu vangi pagati ya msambi wula vakayangula, “Mwenuyu ndi Yesu mlota wa Chapanga, kuhuma ku Nazaleti muji wa Galilaya.”
And the multitudes said, This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Yesu ayingili paluvanja lwa Nyumba ya Chapanga na kuvavinga vandu voha, vevagulisa na kugula vindu pala, azing'anambwisi meza za vabadilisha mashonga. Pamonga na vigoda vya vagulisa ngunda.
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all those who sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves;
13 Akavajovela “Yiyandikwi mu Mayandiku Gamsopi, ‘Nyumba yangu yati yikemiwa nyumba ya kumyupila Chapanga.’ Nambu nyenye muyikitili kuvya libokoselu la vanyagaji.”
and said to them, It is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer; but ye make it a den of robbers.”
14 Vangalola na vachindamile vamhambili Yesu pa Nyumba ya Chapanga, mwene avalamisi.
And the blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he cured them.
15 Nambu Vamteta vakulu va Chapanga na vawula va malagizu vamemili ligoga ndava ya kulola mambu gabwina geahengili Yesu, mewa vana vevajovayi kwa lwami luvaha mu Nyumba ya Chapanga, “Ulumbiwa Mwana wa Daudi.”
But the chief priests and the scribes, when they saw the wonderful things which he did, and the children that were crying out in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, were much displeased;
16 Vakamjovela, “Wu, wiyuwana vana ava chevijova?” Yesu akavayangula, “Ena, niyuwana! Wu, mwangasoma mu Mayandiku Gamsopi? Mumilomo ya vana vadebe na vang'enya ndi ujipatili ulumba kamili.”
and said to him, Dost thou hear what these say? But Jesus saith to them, Yea; did ye never read, “From the mouth of babes and sucklings thou didst prepare praise”?
17 Kangi Yesu akavaleka, akawuka pamuji wenuwo, akahamba ku Betania akagona kwenuko.
And he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 Chilau yaki lukela Yesu peavi mukuwuya kumuji wenuwo, njala yamvinili.
And in the morning, as he was returning to the city, he was hungry.
19 Auwene mkongo wa mtini mumuhana ya njila, ndi auhambalili, nambu akolili lepi chindu mumkongo wula nga mahamba gene, ndi aupeli likoto akaujovela gakotoka kupambika matunda kutumbula lelu hati magono goha! Bahapo mkongo wula wanyalili. (aiōn g165)
And seeing one fig-tree by the road-side, he went up to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only; and he saith to it, Let there be no fruit from thee hencefoward for ever. And immediately the fig-tree withered. (aiōn g165)
20 Vawuliwa pavauweni vakakangaswa na lijambu lenilo vakajova, “Ndava kyani mkongo wa mtini unyalili chighafula?”
And the disciples seeing it, marveled, saying, How suddenly did the fig-tree wither!
21 Yesu akavayangula, “Nikuvajovela chakaka, ngati mwisadika changali mtahu, yati mwihotola lepi ndu kuhenga ago, nambu hati kuchijovela chitumbi, ‘Utupuka apa, na ukujitaga munyanja,’ Yati yivya mewa.
Jesus answering said to them, Truly do I say to you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what hath been done to the fig-tree, but should ye even say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it would be done.
22 Na chochoha chemwiyupa kwa kumuyupa Chapanga, mwakasadika yati mwipata.”
And all things whatever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye will receive.
23 Yesu ayingili mu Nyumba ya Chapanga kuwula, hinu peavi mukuwula. Vamteta vakulu na vagogo va vandu vamkotili “Wihenga mambu genago kwa uhotola woki? Ndi yani mweakupeli uhotola wenuwo?”
And when he had 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 doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority?
24 Yesu akavayangula, “Nene yati nikuvakota likotesi limonga, na ngati muniyangwili ndi nene yati nikuvajovela nihenga mambu aga kwa uhotola woki.
And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one question; which if ye answer me, I too will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Wu, uhotola wa Yohani Mbatizaji wahumili koki? Wu, wahumili kunani kwa Chapanga amala wahumili kwa vandu?” Nambu vakajovesana vene kwa vene, “Tikajova, ‘Wahumili kunani kwa Chapanga? Yati akutikota, ndava kyani nakusadika?’
The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven, or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
26 Na ngati tijovili, gahumili kwa vandu, tiyogopa msambi wa vandu muni voha viyidakila kuvya Yohani ndi mlota wa Chapanga.”
But if we say, From men, we fear the multitude; for all regard John as a prophet.
27 Hinu vamyangwili, “Nakumanya!” Namwene Yesu akavajovela na nene nikuvajovela lepi, nihenga mambu aga kwa uhotola woki.
And they answered Jesus and said, We do not know. And he said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 “Nyenye mwihololela wuli, mundu mmonga avili na vasongolo vavili. Akatumbula kumjovela yula wa kutumbula, mwana vangu lelu uhamba kumgunda wangu wa mizabibu ukahenga lihengu.
But what think ye? A man had two sons: he came to the first, and said, Son, go, work today in the vineyard.
29 Msongolo yula akamyangula, ‘Mbwitu,’ Nambu mwanakandahi ang'anamwisi maholo gaki, akahamba kuhenga lihengu.
And he answered and said, I will not. Afterward he repented, and went.
30 Yula dadi akamjovela mwana wa pili galagala. Namwene akayidakila ena Dadi, Nambu nakuhamba.
And he came to the other and said the same. And he answered and said, I will, sir; and went not.
31 Wu, yani pagati ya vavili venavo mweahengili maganu ga dadi waki?” Vakamyangula, “Mwana wa utumbula yula.” Hinu, Yesu akavajovela, “Nikuvajovela chakaka vatola kodi na vakemi yati vakuvalongolela kuyingila muunkosi wa Chapanga.”
Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith to them, Truly do I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Muni Yohani abwelili kwinu na kuvalangisa njila ya kumganisa Chapanga, nyenye nakuyisadika, nambu vatola kodi na vakemi vamsadiki. Hati pamonga na kugalola genago goha, nambu nyenye nakumuwuyila Chapanga na kumsadika.
For John came to you as a preacher of righteousness, and ye did not believe him; but the publicans and the harlots believed him; and ye, when ye had seen it, did not afterward repent, that ye might believe him.
33 Yesu akajova, “Myuwana luhumu lungi,” Mundu mmonga mkolo nyumba alimili mgunda wa mizabibu, akatindisila luwumba, na kugima chiliva cha kuminyila divayi na akajenga mnala. Kangi avakodisi valimaji, akahamba mulima wa kutali.
Hear another parable. There was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
34 Lukumbi lwa kubena pwalahikili, ndi avatumili vatumisi vaki kwa valimaji vala, muni vakatola lilundu laki la mabenu.
And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive his fruits.
35 Nambu valimaji vala vavakamwili vatumisi venavo, mmonga vakamtova na yungi vakamkoma, na yungi vakamtova na maganga.
And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Kangi mkolo mgunda akavatuma vatumisi vangi vamahele neju kuliku vala va kutumbula. Hinu valimajii vala vakavahengela mewawa.
Again he sent other servants more than the first; and they dealt with them in the same manner.
37 Pamwishu ndi amtumili mwana waki, muni aholalili kuvya. Chakaka yati vakumutopesa mwana vangu.
And afterward he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son.
38 Nambu valimaji vala pevamuwene mwana waki, vakajovesana vene kwa vene, mwenuyu ndi mhali waki, timkoma muni mgunda wenuwu tihala tete!
But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.
39 Hinu, vakamkamula na kumtaga kuvala ya mgunda wa mizabibu, ndi vakamkoma.
And they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Kangi Yesu akavakota “Hinu mkolo mgunda wa mizabibu paibwela yati akuvakita kyani valimaji vala?”
When therefore the lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41 “Vene vakamyangula, yati akuvakoma valimaji venavo na mgunda wula yati akuvapela valimaji vangi vevakumpela lilundu laki la mabenu lukumbi lwa kubena.”
They say to him, He will bring those wicked men to a miserable end, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their season.
42 Yesu akavajovela, “Wu, mwangasoma mu Mayandiku Gamsopi?” Liganga levabeli vakujenga, hinu ndi liganga likulu la kukamulila nyumba Bambu ndi mweahengili lijambu lenili, ndi la kukangasa neju kwitu!
Jesus saith to them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures, “The stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the corner-stone; from the Lord did this come, and it is marvelous in our eyes?”
43 Ndava muni nikuvajovela, “Unkosi wa Chapanga yati uwusiwa kwinu na yati vipewa vandu va mulima wungi vala vevihenga gegakumganisa Chapanga.”
Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.
44 Yeyoha mweigwilila paliganga lenilo yati idenyekana hipandi hipandi na yeyoha mwelikumgwilila yati likumuyaga nyiminyimi.
45 Ndi vamteta vakulu na Vafalisayu pevayuwini miluhumu ya Yesu ndi vamanyalili kuvya akuvajova vene.
And the chief priests and the Pharisees when they heard his parables, knew that he was speaking of them.
46 Vene pevalondili njila ya kumkamula, vayogwipi msambi wa vandu muni vene vammanyili kuvya mwene ndi mlota wa Chapanga.
And they sought to seize him, but feared the multitudes, because they regarded him as a prophet.
