< Mathayo 21 >
1 Walipokaribia Yerusalemu, wakafika Bethfage katika Mlima wa Mizeituni. Ndipo Yesu akawatuma wanafunzi wake wawili,

2 akawaambia, “Nendeni katika kijiji kilichoko mbele yenu, nanyi mtamkuta punda amefungwa hapo, na mwana-punda pamoja naye. Wafungueni na mniletee.

3 Kama mtu yeyote akiwasemesha lolote, mwambieni kwamba Bwana ana haja nao, naye atawaruhusu mwalete mara.”

4 Haya yalitukia ili litimie lile lililonenwa na nabii, akisema:

5 “Mwambieni Binti Sayuni, ‘Tazama, mfalme wako anakuja kwako, ni mnyenyekevu, naye amepanda punda, juu ya mwana-punda, mtoto wa punda.’”

6 Wale wanafunzi wakaenda, wakafanya kama Yesu alivyokuwa amewaagiza.

7 Wakamleta yule punda na mwana-punda, nao wakatandika mavazi yao juu ya hao punda, naye Yesu akaketi juu yake.

8 Umati mkubwa wa watu ukatandaza mavazi yao barabarani, na wengine wakakata matawi kutoka kwenye miti, wakayatandaza barabarani.

9 Ule umati wa watu uliomtangulia na ule uliomfuata ukapiga kelele ukisema, “Hosana, Mwana wa Daudi!” “Amebarikiwa yeye ajaye kwa Jina la Bwana!” “Hosana juu mbinguni!”

10 Yesu alipoingia Yerusalemu, mji wote ukataharuki, watu wakauliza, “Huyu ni nani?”

11 Ule umati wa watu ukajibu, “Huyu ni Yesu, yule nabii kutoka Nazareti katika Galilaya.”

12 Yesu akaingia katika eneo la Hekalu na kuwafukuza wote waliokuwa wakinunua na kuuza vitu Hekaluni. Akazipindua meza za wale waliokuwa wakibadilisha fedha, na pia viti vya wale waliokuwa wakiuza njiwa.

13 Akawaambia, “Imeandikwa, ‘Nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya sala,’ lakini ninyi mmeifanya kuwa pango la wanyangʼanyi.”

14 Vipofu na vilema wakamwendea kule Hekaluni, naye akawaponya.

15 Lakini viongozi wa makuhani na walimu wa sheria walipoona mambo ya ajabu aliyofanya na kuwasikia watoto wakishangilia katika eneo la Hekalu wakisema, “Hosana Mwana wa Daudi,” walikasirika.

16 Wakamuuliza Yesu, “Je, unasikia hayo hawa wanayosema?” Akawajibu, “Naam; kwani hamkusoma, “‘Midomoni mwa watoto wachanga na wanyonyao umeamuru sifa’?”

17 Akawaacha, akatoka nje ya mji, akaenda hadi Bethania, akalala huko.

18 Asubuhi na mapema, Yesu alipokuwa akirudi mjini, alikuwa na njaa.

19 Akauona mtini kando ya barabara, naye akaukaribia, lakini hakupata tunda lolote ila majani. Ndipo akauambia, “Wewe usizae matunda tena kamwe!” Papo hapo ule mtini ukanyauka. (aiōn )

20 Wanafunzi wake walipoona jambo hili, wakashangaa, wakamuuliza, “Imekuwaje mtini huu kunyauka ghafula?”

21 Yesu akawajibu, “Amin, nawaambia, kama mkiwa na imani wala msiwe na shaka, si kwamba mtaweza kufanya tu yale yaliyofanyika kwa huu mtini, bali hata mkiuambia huu mlima, ‘Ngʼoka, ukatupwe baharini,’ litafanyika.

23 Yesu alipoingia Hekaluni, viongozi wa makuhani na wazee wa watu wakamjia alipokuwa anafundisha na kusema, “Unafanya mambo haya kwa mamlaka gani? Na ni nani aliyekupa mamlaka hayo?”

24 Yesu akawajibu, “Nami nitawauliza swali moja. Kama mkinijibu, nami nitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani ninafanya mambo haya.

25 Ubatizo wa Yohana, ulitoka wapi? Je, ulitoka mbinguni au kwa wanadamu?” Wakahojiana wao kwa wao na kusema, “Tukisema ulitoka mbinguni atatuuliza, ‘Mbona basi hamkumwamini?’

26 Lakini tukisema, ‘Ulitoka kwa wanadamu,’ tunawaogopa hawa watu, maana wote wanamtambua Yohana kuwa ni nabii.”

27 Kwa hiyo wakamjibu Yesu, “Sisi hatujui.” Naye akawaambia, “Wala mimi sitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani ninatenda mambo haya.”

28 “Lakini mwaonaje? Mtu mmoja alikuwa na wana wawili. Akamwendea yule wa kwanza akamwambia, ‘Mwanangu, nenda ukafanye kazi kwenye shamba la mizabibu leo.’

30 “Kisha yule baba akamwendea yule mwanawe mwingine akamwambia vilevile. Yeye akajibu, ‘Nitakwenda, bwana,’ lakini hakwenda.

31 “Ni yupi kati yao hao wawili aliyetimiza kile alichotaka baba yake?” Wakamjibu, “Ni yule wa kwanza.” Yesu akawaambia, “Amin, amin nawaambia, watoza ushuru na makahaba wanawatangulia kuingia katika Ufalme wa Mungu.

32 Kwa maana Yohana alikuja kwenu kuwaonyesha njia ya haki, lakini hamkumsadiki, lakini watoza ushuru na makahaba wakamsadiki. Nanyi hata mlipoona hayo, baadaye hamkutubu na kumsadiki.

33 “Sikilizeni mfano mwingine: Kulikuwa na mtu mmoja mwenye shamba ambaye alipanda shamba la mizabibu. Akajenga ukuta kulizunguka, akatengeneza shinikizo ndani yake na akajenga mnara wa ulinzi. Kisha akalikodisha hilo shamba la mizabibu kwa wakulima fulani, naye akaondoka, akasafiri kwenda nchi nyingine.

36 Kisha akawatuma kwao watumishi wengine, wengi kuliko wale wa kwanza, nao wale wapangaji wakawatendea vilevile.

41 Wakamjibu, “Kwa huzuni kuu atawaangamiza kabisa hao wadhalimu na kulipangisha shamba lake la mizabibu kwa wakulima wengine ambao watampatia fungu lake la matunda wakati wa mavuno.”
