Mateyo 21
1 Mpobalashika pepi ku Yelusalemu, balashika nanshi ku Betifage ku mulundu wa maolifi, Yesu walatuma beshikwiya bakendi babili,
And when they drewe neere to Hierusalem, and were come to Bethphage, vnto the mount of the Oliues, then sent Iesus two disciples,
2 ne kubambileti, “Kamuyani mu munshi uwu ngomulabononga pantangu apa, mwaya mwengila, nimucane mbongolo wasungililwa pamo ne mwanendi, mu basungulule mubalete kuno.”
Saying to them, Goe into the towne that is ouer against you, and anon yee shall finde an asse bounde, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them vnto me.
3 Na muntu amwipushe, mumwambileti, “Mwami labayandanga, apwisha kubasebensesha nabalete.”
And if any man say ought vnto you, say ye, that the Lord hath neede of them, and straightway he will let them goe.
4 “Ici calenshika kwambeti maswi alamba mushinshimi akwanilishiwe, akwambeti,
All this was done that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, saying,
5 “Kamwambilani munshi wa Siyoni kwambeti Kobona Mwami wakobe lesanga kulinjobe, Walicepesha, kayi watanta pa mbongolo. Watanta pa mwana mbongolo, nyama ishikumanta mitolo.”
Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Beholde, thy King commeth vnto thee, meeke and sitting vpon an asse, and a colte, the foale of an asse vsed to the yoke.
6 Popelapo beshikwiya balensa mbuli Yesu ncalabambila.
So the disciples went, and did as Iesus had commanded them,
7 Balaleta mbongolo pamo ne mwanendi, balayansa bikwisa pamusana pa mwanambongolo, uyo ngwalatantapo Yesu.
And brought the asse and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and set him thereon.
8 Bantu bangi balayansa bikwisa munshila, nabambi balakwakula misampi yabitondo ne kwiyansa munshila.
And a great multitude spred their garments in the way: and other cut downe branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 Bantu bangi balikuba pantangu ne balikuba panyuma, balatatika kubilikisheti, “Hosana kuli Mwanendi Dafeti. Walelekwa uyo lesanga mu Lina lya Lesa, Hosana kuli Lesa wakwilu ku Mayoba.”
Moreouer, the people that went before, and they also that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Sonne of Dauid, Blessed be hee that commeth in the Name of the Lord, Hosanna thou which art in the highest heauens.
10 Yesu mpwalengila mu Yelusalemu, bantu bonse balakankamana, nabambi balikabepusheti, “Anu uyu niyani?”
And when he was come into Hierusalem, all the citie was mooued, saying, Who is this?
11 Bantu bangi balakumbuleti, “Uyu emushinshimi, Yesu waku Nasaleti, mucishi ca Galileya.”
And the people said, This is Iesus that Prophet of Nazareth in Galile.
12 Yesu walengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne kutandanyamo bantu bonse balikulisha ne kula. Walawishila panshi matebulu ngobalikulishilapo beshikushintanisha mali, ne bipuna bya beshikulisha nkulimba,
And Iesus went into the Temple of God, and cast out all them that solde and bought in the Temple, and ouerthrew the tables of the money chagers, and the seates of them that sold doues,
13 Walabambileti, “Mabala alambangeti, ‘Ng'anda yakame nikabe yakupaililamo,’ Nomba amwe mulaisandulu kuba mwakuyubila bakabwalala.”
And said to them, it is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer: but ye haue made it a denne of theeues.
14 Popelapo balema ne bashipilwa balesa kuli Yesu mu Ng'anda ya Lesa mopelemo, nendi walabasengula.
Then the blinde, and the halt came to him in the Temple, and he healed them.
15 Bamakulene beshimilumbo ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose, mpobalabona byeshikukondwelesha mbyalensa kayi ne kunyumfwa batwanike mu ng'anda ya Lesa kababilikisheti, “Hosana kuli Mwanendi Dafeti,” Calabepila mu moyo.
But when the chiefe priestes and Scribes sawe the marueiles that hee did, and the children crying in the Temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Sonne of Dauid, they disdained,
16 Neco, Yesu balamwipusheti, “Sena mulanyumfunga mbyobalambanga batwanike aba?” Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Ee, kanshi nkamuna mubelengapo Maswi alambangeti Lesa walabambilalimo batwanike ne bakateta kwambeti nibakamutembaule kwakupwililila?”
And said vnto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Iesus said vnto them, Yea: read ye neuer, By the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast made perfite the praise?
17 Popelapo Yesu walabashiya, ne kuya ku Betani nkwalakona.
So hee left them, and went out of the citie vnto Bethania, and lodged there.
18 Mpobwalaca mumene mene, Yesu mpwalikubwelela ku Yelusalemu walanyumfwa nsala.
And in the morning, as he returned into the citie, he was hungrie,
19 Mpwalabona citondo ca mukuyu pepi ne nshila, walayapo, nomba walacana kacikutowa matewu. Popelapo walacambila citondo camukuyu, “citondobe, kufuma lelo nteti ukasemepo bisepo sobwe.” Cindi copeleco citondo camukuyu cisa calayuma nta. (aiōn g165)
And seeing a figge tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaues onely, and said to it, Neuer fruite grow on thee henceforwards. And anon the figge tree withered. (aiōn g165)
20 Beshikwiya mpobalaboneco balakankamana balamwipusha Yesu, “Inga citondo ca mukuyu ici cilafwambaneconi kuyuma?”
And when his disciples saw it, they marueiled, saying, How soone is the figge tree withered!
21 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti na lushomo lwenu ntelo lwakutonshanya nimukacikonshenga kwinsa mbuli ncondenshili citondo ca mukuyu ici. Nteconkeco sobwe, nsombi na muwambila mulundu uwu, kwambeti, ‘Fuma apa, koya uliwale mu lwenje, mpaka nicikenshike.’
And Iesus answered and said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, if ye haue faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only doe that, which I haue done to the figge tree, but also if ye say vnto this mountaine, Take thy selfe away, and cast thy selfe into the sea, it shalbe done.
22 Na mupaila ne lushomo ciliconse nceti mukasenge nimukapewe.”
And whatsoeuer ye shall aske in prayer, if ye beleeue, ye shall receiue it.
23 Cindi Yesu ncalengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne kutatika kwiyisha, bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, balesa kumwipusheti, “Mwalashifunya kupeyo ngofu shakwinsa cisa? Niyani walamupa ngofu ishi?”
And whe he was come into the Temple, the chiefe Priestes, and the Elders of the people came vnto him, as he was teaching, and saide, By what authoritie doest thou these things? and who gaue thee this authoritie?
24 Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “ne njame nindimwipushe mwipusho umo, mwankumbula, bacu, nindimwambile nkondalafunya ngofu shakwinsa cisa.
Then Iesus answered and said vnto them, I also will aske of you a certaine thing, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authoritie I doe these things.
25 Kwambeti Yohane abatishenga, ngofu walashifunya kupeyo, kuli Lesa nambi kubantu?” Balo balatatika kutotekeshana pa lwabo bene, “Natukumbuleti walashifunya kuli Lesa, nendi nambeti, inga mwalabulila cani kumushoma?
The baptisme of Iohn, whence was it? from heauen, or of men? Then they reasoned among themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say vnto vs, Why did ye not then beleeue him?
26 Nomba kayi natukumbuleti walashifunya kubantu, bantu nteti batulekepo sobwe, pakwinga balambangeti, Yohane nimushinshimi.”
And if we say, Of men, we feare the multitude, for all holde Iohn as a Prophet.
27 Neco balamukumbuleti, “Afwe nkatucishipo sobwe.” Nendi walambeti, “Anu ne njame nteti ndimwambilepo sobwe nkondalashicana ngofu shakwinsa cisa.”
Then they answered Iesus, and said, We can not tell. And he said vnto them, Neither tell I you by what authoritie I doe these things.
28 “Amwe ngamuyeyapo aconi? Muntu naumbi walikukute bana batuloba babili. Walaya kumwanendi mukulene ne kumwambileti, ‘Mwaname, koya lelo usebense kumabala.’
But what thinke ye? A certaine man had two sonnes, and came to the elder, and saide, Sonne, goe and worke to day in my vineyarde.
29 Walakumbuleti ‘Sobwe nkasuni,’ Nsombi panyuma pakendi walalitibuka, walaya ku mabala kuya kusebensa.
But he answered, and said, I will not: yet afterward he repented himselfe, and went.
30 Baishi balaya kumwanabo kanike ne kumwambila maswi amo amo ngobalambila mwanabo mukulene. Nendi walambeti, ‘Ndanyumfu ta, ndenga kusebensa.’ Nsombi uliya kuyako.
Then came he to the second, and said likewise. And he answered, and said, I will, Syr: yet he went not.
31 Pa bana babili aba walensa ncobalikuyanda baishi nupeyo?” Balo balambeti, “wakutanguna usa.” Yesu walabambileti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, beshikusonkesha misonko ne batukashi bapombo balengilinga mu Bwami bwa Lesa, amwe kamutana.
Whether of them twaine did the will of the father? They saide vnto him, The first. Iesus saide vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, that the Publicanes and the harlots goe before you into the kingdome of God.
32 Yohane Mubatishi walesa kumulesha nshila yabululami, amwe muliya kushoma sobwe, kakuli beshikusonkesha misonko, ne batukashi bapombo balo balamushoma, Amwe nambi mwalabibona, muliya kulitibuka kwambeti mumushome.”
For Iohn came vnto you in the way of righteousnes, and yee beleeued him not: but the Publicanes, and the harlots beleeued him, and ye, though ye sawe it, were not mooued with repentance afterward, that ye might beleeue him.
33 Yesu walambeti, “Kamunyumfwani mukoshanyo naumbi, Muntu naumbi walikukute libala. Mulibalo'mo walabyalamo minyansa, walebaka luba kushinguluka libala lyonse, walaimba cisengu mwakutyanina minyansa, walaibaka lupingwe lwa kupembelelapo libala. Panyuma pakendi walalibwelekesha libala lisa ku balimi, nendi walaya bulwendo kucishi cimbi.
Heare another parable, There was a certaine housholder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and made a winepresse therein, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange countrey.
34 Cindi cakutebula mpocalashika, muntu usa walatuma basebenshi bakendi ku balimi basa, kwambeti bamupeko bisepo bya mulibala lisa.
And when the time of the fruite drewe neere, hee sent his seruants to the husbandmen to receiue the fruites thereof.
35 Nomba balimi basa balabekata basebenshi basa, umo balamuma, naumbi balamushina, naumbi balamupwaya mabwe.
And ye husbandmen tooke his seruants and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Muntu usa walatumako basebenshi nabambi bangi kupita basa bakutanguna. Kayi balimi basa balabensa cimo cimo.
Againe hee sent other seruants, moe then the first: and they did the like vnto them.
37 Kumapwililisho balimi basa walabatumina Mwanendi, ne kwambeti, ‘Mwaname uyu enka nibenga bamupe bulemu.’
But last of all he sent vnto them his owne sonne, saying, They will reuerence my sonne.
38 Nomba balimi basa mpobalamubona Mwanendi usa, balatatika kumufwiya, kabambeti, ‘uyu eshakapyane buboni bonse. Tiyeni tumushine kwambeti buboni ubu bukabe bwetu.’
But when the husbandmen saw the sonne, they saide among themselues, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and let vs take his inheritance.
39 Neco balamwikata, nekumuwala kunsa kwa libala ne kumushina.”
So they tooke him, and cast him out of the vineyarde, and slewe him.
40 “Inga mwine libala lisa lya minyansa akesa nakabenseconi balimi basa?”
When therefore the Lord of the vineyarde shall come, what will hee doe to those husbandmen?
41 Balo balakumbuleti, “Nakabashine balimi baipa basa, ne kulibwelekesha libala lisa kubalimi nabambi belela kumupako bisepo pacindi cakendi celela.”
They saide vnto him, Hee will cruelly destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard vnto other husbandmen, which shall deliuer him the fruites in their seasons.
42 Yesu walabepusheti, “Sena muliya kubelengapo Mabala alambangeti, ‘Libwe lyacandanshi ndyobalakana beshikwibaka,’ Elilaba libwe lya nkokola ya ng'anda lilayandikinga? Lesa mwine ewalacinseci, kayi cilatukankamanishi kucibona.”
Iesus saide vnto them, Read ye neuer in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders refused, the same is made the head of the corner? This was the Lordes doing, and it is marueilous in our eyes.
43 Encondamwambililingeti, “Bwami bwa Lesa, nibukalamunwe kulinjamwe ne kubupa bantu bambi abo belela kusema bisepo.”
Therefore say I vnto you, The kingdome of God shalbe taken from you, and shalbe giuen to a nation, which shall bring foorth the fruites thereof.
44 Uliyense eshakawile palibwe ili, nakapasauke pasauke. Uyo ngoshi likamuwile, nendi nakashanyaukilelimo.
And whosoeuer shall fall on this stone, he shalbe broken: but on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will dash him a pieces.
45 Bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne Bafalisi mpobalanyumfwa mikoshanyo njalikwamba Yesu, balenshibeti wambangendibo.
And when the chiefe Priestes and Pharises had heard his parables, they perceiued that hee spake of them.
46 Neco balayanda kumwikata nsombi balatina bantu, pakwinga bantu bangi balikuba bashometi, Yesu nimushinshimi.
And they seeking to laye handes on him, feared the people, because they tooke him as a Prophet.
