< Mathayo 21 >

1 U Yesu na wanafunzi wakwe bhahafia karibu Huyerusalemu na wakhawala mpaka Bethfage, hwi gamba ilya mizeituni, nantele u Yesu akhabhawonzya awanafunzi wawele,
When they had almost reached Jerusalem, having come as far as Bethphage, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent on two disciples.
2 akhawawozya, “Walaji hushijiji shishili hwilongolela isala zyezi munza huyanje idogobhi ipinyilwe pala, inyanadango yakwe. Mubhaule na huwalete huline.
“Go to the village facing you,” he said, “and you will immediately find a donkey tethered, with a foal by her side; untie her, and lead her here for me.
3 Nkha muntu wowonti ahuwawozya lioliontu ahusu elyo, munza, `U Bwana ahubhanza, ` umuntu unyo hani hani anza huwenteshe ahwenze nayo”
And, if anyone says anything to you, you are to say this – ‘The Master wants them’; and he will send them at once.”
4 Ijambo elyo lyahafumie lilila lyakhayangwilwe na watumi lazima lifumile. Shakhabhawozezye,
This happened in fulfillment of these words in the prophet –
5 Bhawozye abhalendu bhahusayuni, enyhi uumwene wakho hu za humwenyu umwololo akhangaliye idogobhi umwana dogobhi unume, umwana dogobhi umembha.
‘Say to the people of Zion – “Your King is coming to you, gentle, and riding on a donkey, and on the foal of a beast of burden.”’
6 Nantele awanafunzi bhahasogola nawombhe nanzi u Yesu shabhalajizizye.
So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
7 Bhakhanetela idogobhi nu mwana dogobhi nawhesha amenda gao humwanya yao, nape u Yesu ahakhala pala.
They led the donkey and the foal back, and, when they had put their cloaks on them, he seated himself on them.
8 Whinchi bhakhawongeni wakhala amenda gao mwidala, na awamo bhahadumuye amadhanzala afume mumakwi bhahalile mubalabala.
The immense crowd of people spread their cloaks in the road, while some cut branches off the trees, and spread them on the road.
9 Awhinchi bhabhahatagaliye u Yesu bhala bhabhahafuatile u Yesu bhahabhanjile bhahayanga, “Hosana umwana wa Daudi! Usayhiwilwe uyezela hwitawa lya Bwana. Hosana humwa hani!”
The crowds that led the way, as well as those that followed behind, kept shouting, “God save the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! God save him from on high!”
10 U Yesu lwahafia Huyerusalemu, umji ghonti gwakhongopa nayanje aje, “Uno yu nanu?
When he had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred, and asked –
11 “Awhichi wakhayanga, “Onho yu Yesu utumwa, afume Hunazareti ya Hugalilaya.”
“Who is this?”, to which the crowd replied – “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”
12 Nantele u Yesu ahinjila hushiwanza sha Ngolobhe ahawamanyizya hoze wunti bhahakalaga na kazye mshiwanza. Antele ahagwisizye imeza zya bhahakalananga ihela ni vinti vyakhabhakazianga iunda.
Jesus went into the Temple Courts, and drove out all those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers, and the seats of the pigeon-dealers,
13 Akhawawozya, “Isimbwilwe, “Inyumba yane inzakwiziwe nyumba ya puutile, `eshi amwe muyiweshele lipaho lya hupele.”
and said to them, “Scripture says ‘My house will be called a house of prayer’; but you are making it a den of robbers.”
14 Naulele bwawabadiye bhakhalemeye bhahamalila hushibhanza nape akhabhaponizye.
While he was still in the Temple Courts, some blind and some lame people came up to him, and he cured them.
15 Lakini awagosi wishiwanzya na abhasimbi lwabhakhalola amayele gawombile, na lwabhahovya awana bhabwanga ishongo mshibhaza na ayanje, “Hosana amwana wa Daudi,” bhakhakhatwilwe ni lioyo.
But, when the chief priests and the teachers of the Law saw the wonderful things that Jesus did, and the boys who were calling out in the Temple Courts “God save the Son of David!”, they were indignant,
16 Bhakhamuozezye, uyumvyezye shabhayanga ewa abhantu?” U Yesu akhabhawozya, “Eee! inovyezye, lakini sagamuwahile abhazye afume humalomo gabhana na awasanga bhabhahoha muli indombo kamili?”
and said to him, “Do you hear what these boys are saying?” “Yes,” answered Jesus, “but did you never read the words – ‘Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings you have called forth perfect praise’?”
17 Nantele u Yesu akhawaleha akhawala honze yikhaya huu Bethania na ahagona khuho.
Then he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.
18 Ishandabhe lwakhawelanga humjini akhali ni nzala.
The next morning, in returning to the city, Jesus became hungry;
19 Akhalola ikwi pambembe yi barabara. Akhawala, lakini sagaahapente ahantu humwanya yankwe ila amatundu. Akhaliwozezye, “Usahabhe namadondo wila wila nantele.” Amasala gengo ikwi lila lyahoma. (aiōn g165)
and, noticing a solitary fig tree by the roadside, he went up to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. So he said to it, “Never again will fruit be gathered off you.” And suddenly the fruit tree withered up. (aiōn g165)
20 Abhansukulu lwabhakhalola, bhakhaswinjile na yanje, “Yabhawele ikwi lyomele sheshi sheshikhani?”
When the disciples saw this, they exclaimed in astonishment, “How suddenly the fig tree withered up!”
21 U Yesu akhabhajimbu akhabhawozya lyoli ihumbawozya aje khamli nu lwetekho bila uwonga, sangamzawombe shishiwhumbeshe hwikwi tu, lakini mnzahuwhuzye hata elugamba lyengwe na hulitanje mwidimi igosi na inzawombeshe.
“I tell you,” replied Jesus, “if you have faith, without ever a doubt, you will do what not only what has been done to the fig tree, but, even if you should say to this hill ‘Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!’ it would be done.
22 Lyolyonti lyamza labhe na punte nkhamli nulweuteho munzaposhele.”
And whatever you ask for in your prayers will, if you have faith, be granted you.”
23 U Yesu lwakhafika mshibhanza awagosi bha makuhani na bhagogolo bha bhantu wakhamalila lwahamanyizianga, na wakhamozya, “Hungovu wele uwomba amambo enga? Na yu nanu apiye ingovu enzi?”
After Jesus had come into the Temple Courts, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, “What authority have you to do these things? Who gave you this authority?”
24 U Yesu ahawajibu na hubhawozye, “Nane ihumba whuzya iswali lyekha. Nkhamuhubozya anje anane iwombo enga hungovu ya nanu.
“I, too,” said Jesus in reply, “will ask you one question; if you will give me an answer to it, then I, also, will tell you what authority I have to act as I do.
25 Uwhoziwa wa Yohana- wakhafumile hwii, humwanya au hwa wantu?” Bhanayangana wene, aje, nkhatiyanje whakhafumile humwanya, `anzahutiwhozye shonu sangamwaha mweteshe? `
It is about John’s baptism. What was its origin? Divine or human?” But they began arguing among themselves, “If we say ‘divine,’ he will say to us ‘Why then didn’t you believe him?’
26 Nantele nkhatiyanje whakhafumile hwabhantu, `tihuwongopa wishiwaza, sababu whunti bhahunola u Yohana aje yutumi.”
But if we say ‘human,’ we are afraid of the people, for everyone regards John as a prophet.”
27 Nantele bhahajibu u Yesu, “Sagatimanye” Akhabhawozya nape nane sangaihumbawhuzya hungovu wele iwhomba amambo ega.
So the answer they gave Jesus was – “We do not know.” “Then I,” he said, “refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.
28 Eshi msebha yenu? Umuntu yalinawana wawele. Akhabhala hwa weka akhamozya, `Mwanawane, bhala uwombe imbombo hugonda gwi mizabibu,
What do you think of this? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the elder and said ‘Go and work in the vineyard today my son.’
29 ilelo. `Umwana ahajibu na yan sangaimbala, Lakini pamande akhabadilisya isewho zyakwe akhabhala.
‘Yes, sir,’ he answered; but he did not go.
30 Na umuntu ula akhabhala hwamana wabhile humuozye shishila. Umwana ola ahajibu na yanje aje imbala, gosi,' lakini sagawabhala.
Then the father went to the second son, and said the same. ‘I will not,’ he answered; but afterward he was sorry and went.
31 Yunanu kati ya wana bhabhile yawhombiole shahwanza uudada wakwe? Bhakhamuzya, “Umwana uwahuande.” U Yesu akhabhawonganya ikondi na bhamalaya bhahaiinjila hwa mwene hwa Ngolobhe shamsele amwe ahwinjile.
Which of the two sons did as his father wished?” “The second,” they said. “I tell you,” added Jesus, “that tax collectors and prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Huje u Yohana akhenzele hulimwe hwidala liligoloshe, lakini amwe sagamwahaposheye, eobha whunga nya ikodi na bhamalaya bhakhaposheye. Amwe, iwamwakhalola elyo liwhombeha sangamwakha lambihe aje pamande mposhele.
For when John came to you, walking in the path of righteousness, you did not believe him, but tax collectors and prostitutes did; and yet you, though you saw this, even then were not sorry, nor did you believe him.
33 Tejelezi ufyana ungwamwao. Hwakhali umuntu, umuntu yalini sehemu ingosi iyinsi. Ahatotile amizabibu akhaga wesheye imbanga ahagombile ishombo sha nkhamile idivai, ahazenga iboma lyawalizi, ahapanjizya bhabhalimilila umuzabibu. Ahasongola akhawala insi inyamwao.
“Listen to another parable. A man, who was an employer, once planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, and then let it out to tenants and went abroad.
34 Uwakati wavune imizabibu lwabhafiha ahabhalajizya abhawomba mbombo hwabhalima amizabibu ahweje amizabibu gankwe.
When the time for the grape harvest drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to receive his share of the produce.
35 Lakini bhabhalima amizabibu bhahawenga abhawomba mbombo wakwe, bhahakhoma weka bhabuda uwamwao bhakhoma weka na mawe.
But the tenants seized his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
36 Nantele ugosi ahatuma abhawomba mbombo abhamwao, winchi hani ashile wala abhahuande, bhabhalima amizabibu bha khawobile shishila.
A second time the owner sent some servants, a larger number than before, and the tenants treated them in the same way.
37 Baada yepo ugosi ula akhatuma umwana wakwe, ahaga, 'Wazahutinishe umwana wane.'
As a last resource he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
38 Lakini bhabhalima amizabibu lwabhanola usahala ula, bhakhayangana, “Onu yu mrithi, Inzaji, tibude na tenye urithi.'
But the tenants, on seeing his son, said to each other ‘Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.’
39 `Basi bhahatanga hunze mugonda gwi mizabibu na hubude.
So they seized him, and threw him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Jee ugosi wigonda wa mizabibu lwanza ahwenze anza huwawombe wele bhabhalima imizabibu?”
Now, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”
41 Bhakhamuozya, “Anzahubhananganye ewho awantu abhabhibhi, hwidala ikhali hani, na anza panjizye ugonda gwi mizabibu hwa bhakulima abhamwawo wamizabibu, awantu bhabhaza sombe kwajili ya mizabibu lwagazatone.”
“Miserable wretches!” they exclaimed, “he will put them to a miserable death, and he will let out the vineyard to other tenants, who will pay him his share of the produce at the proper times.”
42 U Yesu akhabhawozya, “Aje sangamubhazizye amaandiko, iwe lwabha akhanile awazenje lyabha liwe ligosi lya msingi. Eli kyakhafumile hu Bwana, lishwizisya pamaso gentu?”
Then Jesus added, “Have you never read in the scriptures? – ‘The stone which the builders despised – has now itself become the cornerstone. This cornerstone has come from the Lord, and is marvelous in our eyes.’
43 Eshi ihumbawhuzya, u Umwene wa Ngolobhe unzahungwe agume humwenyu, wanzapelwe bhamunsi bhabhasnga amadondu gankwe.
That, I tell you, is why the kingdom of God will be taken from you, and given to a nation that does produce the fruit of the kingdom.
44 Whowhitu yazangwe humwanya yi iwe elyo anzabuduhane buduhane. Lakini whowhunti yalinzahugwele linzahusye.”
Yes, and he who falls on this stone will be dashed to pieces, while anyone on whom it falls – it will scatter him as dust.”
45 Abhagosi wishiwanza na Amafarisayo lwawhonvya ishifano shakwe, bhakhamanya aje ahubhayanga wewo.
After listening to these parables, the chief priests and the Pharisees saw that it was about them that he was speaking;
46 Lakini lwabhanzaga agolosye inyobhe hwa mwene, bhahogope awashibhaza, awantu bhakhamwenyizye aje mtumi.
yet, although eager to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, who regarded him as a prophet.
