Matayu 21
1 Yesu na wafundwa wakuwi pawaweriti pakwegera na Yerusalemu na kusoka Betifagi kulugongu lwa Mizeyituni, kawatumiti wantumintumi wakuwi wawili,
AND when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 pakawagambira, “Mgendi mpaka kushijiji sha palongolu penu na hamumwoni punda na mwana gwakuwi wawatawa. Muwayopoli na munjegeri.
saying to them, Go into the village, which is opposite you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a foal with her; loose and bring them to me.
3 Handa muntu yoseri pakatakula shoseri, mumgambiri, ‘Mtuwa kawafira kawatenderi na shakapanu hawawalekeri.’”
And if any man say aught to you, ye shall tell them, That the Lord hath need of them, and immediately he will send them.
4 Shitwatira ashi shitendikiti su galii gagatakulitwi na mbuyi gwa Mlungu gatendeki,
Now this was entirely done, that what was spoken by the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,
5 “Mlugambiri lushi lwa Sayuni, Guloli, Mfalumi gwaku kankwiza kwa gwenga! Ndo mpoli na kakwena panani pa punda, Na ndama, mwana gwa punda.”
“Tell the daughter of Sion, Lo! thy King cometh to thee, meek, and sitting on an ass, even on a foal the ass’s colt.”
6 Su wafundwa wakuwi wagenda na watenda ntambu Yesu yakawalagaliriti,
Then the disciples going, and doing as Jesus had commanded them,
7 wamjega punda ulii na ndama gwakuwi, wayazilira nguwu zyawu panani pa punda na Yesu kakwena kalivaga pampindi pakuwi.
brought the ass and her foal, and they spread over them their garments, and seated him upon them.
8 Lipinga lya wantu wayarika nguwu zawu munjira, na wantu wamonga wadumula maputira ga mitera na waiyalika panjira.
And a vast multitude spread their garments on the road, and others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them on the road:
9 Lipinga lya wantu wamlongoleriti Yesu na wamonga wamfatiti kumbeli pawabotanga, “Kakwiswi Mwana gwa Dawudi! Mlungu kamtekeleri yakiza mulitawu lya Mtuwa! Kakwiswi Mlungu!”
and the multitudes who went before, and who followed after, cried, saying, Hosanna, to the son of David; blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
10 Yesu pakaweriti kankwingira Yerusalemu, lushi loseri luweriti na shelekusheleku. Wantu wakosiyiti, “Hashi, ayu ndo gaa?”
And when he was entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was in commotion, saying, Who is this?
11 Lipinga lya wantu liwankula, “Ayu ndo Yesu mbuyi gwa Mlungu, kalawa Nazareti isi ya Galilaya.”
Then the multitudes said, This is Jesus, the prophet, who is from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Yesu kagenda kwingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kawawinga kunja wantu woseri yawaweriti wankuwuza na kuhemera vintu palii. Kazigalambuziya meza zawaweriti wankuvunjira mpiya na vigoda vya wantu yawaweriti wankuwuza wang'unda,
And Jesus entered 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 doves
13 na kawagambira, “Galembwa Mumalembu Mananagala kuwera Mlungu kalonga, ‘Numba nkulu yaneni hayishemwi numba ya sala.’ Kumbiti mwenga muyitenda mpanga ya wapoka!”
and said unto them, It is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer,” but ye have made it a den of robbers.
14 Wanalwisi na yawalewelekiti wamgendiriti Yesu Kunumba nkulu ya Mlungu na yomberi kawaponiziya.
Then the blind and the lame came unto him, into the temple, and he cured them.
15 Su, watambika wakulu na wafunda wa Malagaliru wakalaliti pawawoniti vitwatira vya kulikangasha vyakatenditi na wana pawaweriti wankubotanga Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu pawalonga, “Kakwiswi Mwana gwa Dawudi!”
But when the chief priests and scribes saw the marvellous acts which he did, and the children crying out in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were filled with indignation;
16 Su womberi wamkosiya Yesu, “Hashi, gupikinira ntambu yawalonga?” Yesu kawankula, “Yina mpikanira. Hashi, hamwebetuli Malembu aga? ‘Guwafunditi wana na wana wanonu ntambu ya kukukwisa.’”
and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? Jesus replied to them, Yes; but have ye never read, “That out of the mouths of infants and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?”
17 Su, Yesu kawaleka na kagenda kunja kwa lushi na kagenda Betaniya na kalikaliti kulaa pashiru poseri.
And turning his back upon them, he went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 Yesu pakaweriti kankuwuya mlushi mandawira putiputi, kaweriti na njala.
Now in the morning, when returning into the city, he was hungry:
19 Kaguwona mkuyu pampeku pa njira na kagugendera, kumbiti guweriti gwahera bwajubwaju loseri ira gwana mihamba hera. Su kagugambira mtera, “Hapeni guleri kayi mabwajubwaju!” Palaa palii mkuyu gulii guyuma. (aiōn g165)
and seeing a fig-tree at the road side, he went up to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only: and saith unto it, Let no fruit spring from thee henceforth for ever: and immediately the fig-tree withered entirely away. (aiōn g165)
20 Wafundwa pawaguwoniti na walikangasha, pawalonga, “Iwera hashi mkuyu agu guyuma kanongola?”
And when his disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How suddenly is the fig-tree withered away!
21 Yesu kawankula, “Nakaka nuwagambirani, handa pamuwera na njimiru pota na lyoga, hamuwezi kutenda ntambu yantenditi kwa mkuyu agu na kwa hangu ndiri hera kumbiti ata hamuwezi kulugambira lugongu, ‘Gutupuki gukalidibiziyi gumweni mulitanda,’ na hayitendeki.
But Jesus addressing them, said, Verily I tell you, if ye have faith, and entertain no doubt, not only shall ye do what is done to the fig-tree, but if ye should even say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it be done.
22 Handa pamwajimira, hampananwi shoseri shamluwa kwa Mlungu.”
And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 Yesu kingiriti Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na kaweriti kankufunda. Watambika wakulu na wazewi wamwiziriti Yesu na kumkosiya, “Hashi, gutenda vitwatira avi kwa uwezu wa gaa? Hashi, ndo gaa yakakupanana uwezu awu?”
And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him, as he was teaching, demanding, By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority?
24 Yesu kawankula, “Naneni hanuwakosiyi likosiwu limu na pamunankula, su naneni hanuwagambirani ntenda vitwatira avi kwa uwezu wa gaa.
Then Jesus answering, said to them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye answer me, then will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Nuwakosiya, ‘Hashi, uwezu wa Yohani Mbatiza ulawiti kwagaa? Hashi, ulawiti kumpindi ama kwa wantu?’” Kumbiti wanjiti kulitakuziyana weni, “Hatulongi ashi? Handa patutakula, ‘Ulawiti kwa Mlungu,’ yomberi hakatukosiyi, ‘Su, iwera hashi mumjimiriti ndiri Yohani?’
The baptism of John whence was it? from heaven, or from men? Hereupon they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we reply, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
26 Kumbiti patulonga, ‘Ulawiti kwa wantu,’ tutira lipinga lya wantu toziya wantu woseri wavimana kuwera Yohani kaweriti mbuyi gwa Mlungu.”
But if we say, From men, we are afraid of the populace, for they all hold John as a prophet.
27 Su, wamwankula Yesu, “Tuvimana ndiri.” Yesu kawagambira, “Naneni viraa hapeni nuwagambiri ntenda vitwatira avi kwa uwezu wa gaa.
So they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. Then said he also to them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 “Vinu mwenga mulihola ashashi kwa shitwatira ashi? Kuweriti muntu yumu yakaweriti na wana wakuwi wawili. Yomberi kamgendiriti mkulu yumu na kulonga, ‘Mwana gwangu, leru gugendi gwakatendi lihengu mulirambu lya mizyabibu.’
But what think ye? A man had two sons; and coming to the first he said, Son, go work to-day in my vineyard.
29 Yomberi kamwankula, ‘Hapeni ng'endi,’ kumbiti shakapanu kagenda kutenda lihengu.
But he answering said, I will not: yet repenting afterwards, he went.
30 Shakapanu tati ulii kamgendera mwana gwakuwi yumonga kamgambiriti ntambu ilii. Yomberi kamwankula, ‘Yina tati hang'endi,’ kumbiti kagenditi ndiri.
And coming to the other, he spake after the same manner, and he replying, said, I go, sir; yet went not.
31 Hashi, pa wawili awa gaa yakatenditi gakafiriti tati gwakuwi?” Womberi wamwankula, “Uliya mwana gwa kwanja.” Su, Yesu kawagambira, “Nuwagambirani nakaka, watola kodi na wandiyandiya hawawalonguleri kugenda kwingira Muufalumi wa Mlungu.
Which of the two did the will of his father? They say to him, The first. Jesus saith to them, Verily I say unto you, That tax-gatherers and harlots shall go before you into the kingdom of God.
32 Toziya Yohani Mbatiza kiziti kwa mwenga kawalanguziya njira ya kulikala ya kumfiriziya Mlungu na mwenga mumjimira ndiri, kumbiti watola kodi na wandiyandiya wamjimiriti. Ata pamwoniti goseri aga, mwenga mlekiti ndiri vidoda vyamtenda na kumjimira yomberi.”
For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the tax-gatherers and harlots believed on him. But ye, when ye saw it, repented not afterwards, that ye should believe on him.
33 Yesu kalonga, “Mpikaniri mfanu gumonga. Kuweriti na muntu yakaweriti na lirambu, ndo mweni yakalimiti mizyabibu, katindiziya lipamanda na kabawa linegu lya kukamira zyabibu na kanyawiti liringu lya kulolelera. Shakapanu lirambu lya mizyabibu lilii kaliyazimira kwa walimaji, mweni kagenda mwanja gwa kutali.
Hear another parable: There was a certain man, the master of a family, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and hired it out to husbandmen, and went into a distant country.
34 Shipindi sha kubenanga pashisokiti, kawatumiti wantumintumi wakuwi kwa walimaji walii, su watoli semu yakuwi yawabeniti.
But when the season for fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen to receive his fruits.
35 Walimaji walii wawakamula wantumintumi wakuwi, yumu wamkomanga, yumonga wamlaga na yumonga wamlaga kwa kumgumanga mabuwi.
And the husbandmen took his servants, one they beat, and another they killed, and a third they stoned.
36 Muntu ulii kawatuma kayi wantumintumi wamonga wavuwa, kuliku wa kwanja, walimaji walii watenda ntambu ira ilii.
Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they treated them in the same manner.
37 Upeleru kamtuma mwana gwakuwi kugenda kwa womberi pakalihola, ‘Nakaka hawampikiniri mwana gwangu.’
Then at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 Kumbiti walimaji walii pawamwoniti mwana gwakuwi, walitakuziyana weni kwa weni, ‘Ayu ndo muhala gwakuwi. Mwizi tumlagi na uhala wakuwi hauweri watwenga!’
But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come let us kill him, and let us seize on the inheritance.
39 Su, wambata na wamlaviya kunja kulirambu lilii lya mizyabibu na wamlaga.”
And they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40 Yesu kawakosiya, “Vinu, mweni kana lirambu lya mizyabibu pakiza, hakawatendi hashi walimaji walii?”
When therefore the master of the vineyard cometh, what will he do with these husbandmen?
41 Womberi wamwakula, “Hakawalagi woseri yawatenditi vidoda na lirambu lilii hakawapanani walimaji wamonga, ndo weni hawamupanani semu yakuwi yawavibena kwa shipindi sha kubenanga.”
They say unto him, He will dreadfully destroy those wicked wretches, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Yesu kawagambira, “Hashi, hamwebetuli shawalembiti Mumalembu Managala? ‘Libuwi lyawalilemiti wanyawa numba, vinu liwera libuwi lyaliwera na mana nentu kuliku mabuwi goseri. Mtuwa ndo yakatenditi shitwatira ashi, shitwatira sha kulikangasha nentu kwa twenga!’”
Jesus saith unto them, Have ye not read in the Scriptures, “The stone, which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner; this is done by the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes.”
43 Yesu kongera kutakula, “Su nuwagambirani, Ufalumi wa Mlungu hawawawusiyi kwa mwenga na kuwapanani wantu yawalera mabwajubwaju gaherepa.
Therefore I tell you, That the kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and given to a nation, producing the fruits thereof.
44 Yoseri yakaguwa pa libuwi ali hakamegeki vipandi vipandi na libuwi palimguwira muntu yoseri, halimupekesi.”
And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken in pieces, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
45 Watambika wakulu na Mafalisayu pawapikaniriti mifanu ya Yesu na wavimaniti kuwera yomberi kaweriti kankuwalonga weni.
And when the chief priests and Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking concerning them.
46 Su wajeriti kusakula ntambu ya kumkamula Yesu. Kumbiti womberi watiriti lipinga lya wantu lyawamaniti kuwera Yesu ndo mbuyi gwa Mlungu.
And they sought to apprehend him; but were afraid of the people, for they held him as a prophet.
