Mathayo 21
1 Yesu na wanafunzi wake wakafika karibu na Jerusalemu na wakaenda mpaka Bethfage, katika mlima mizeituni, kisha Yesu akawatuma wanafunzi wawili,
When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Yeshua sent two talmidim,
2 akiwaambia, “Nendeni katika kijiji kinachofuata, na mara moja mtamkuta punda amefungwa pale, na mwanapunda pamoja naye. wafungueni na kuwaleta kwangu.
saying to them, "Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them, and bring them to me.
3 Ikiwa mtu yeyote akiwaambia chochote kuhusu hilo, mtasema, `Bwana anawahitaji, ` na mtu huyo mara moja atawaruhusu mje pamoja nao”
And if anyone says anything to you, you are to say, 'Because the Lord needs them,' and he will send them at once."
4 Jambo hili lilitokea ni lile lililosemwa kupitia kwa nabii lazima litimizwe. Akawaambia,
This took place that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 Waambie binti Sayuni, tazama, mfalme wako anakuja kwenu, mnyenyekevu na akiwa amempanda punda, na mwana punda mme, mwana punda mchanga.
Say to the daughter of Zion, "Look, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey."
6 Kisha wanafunzi waliondoka na kufanya kama Yesu alivyowaagiza.
The talmidim went, and did just as Yeshua directed them,
7 Wakamleta punda na mwanapunda, na kuweka nguo zao juu yao, naye Yesu akakaa pale.
and brought the donkey and the colt, and placed their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
8 Wengi katika mkusanyiko walitandaza nguo zao njiani, na wengine walikata matawi kutoka kwenye miti na kutandaza barabarani.
A very large crowd spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees, and spread them on the road.
9 Umati uliomtangulia Yesu na wale waliomfuata walipaza sauti, wakisema,”Hosana kwa mwana wa Daudi! Ni mbarikiwa ajaye kwa jina la Bwana. Hosana juu zaidi!”
The crowds who went before him, and who followed kept shouting, "Hosanna to the son of David. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest."
10 Yesu alipofika Yerusalemu, mji mzima ulishtuka na kusema, “Huyu ni nani?
When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, "Who is this?"
11 “Umati ulijibu, “Huyu ni Yesu Nabii, kutoka Nazareti ya Galilaya.”
The crowds said, "This is the prophet Yeshua, from Natzeret of Galil."
12 Kisha Yesu akaingia katika hekalu la Mungu. akawafukuza nje wote waliokuwa wakinunua na kuuza hekaluni. Pia alipindua meza za wabadilishaji wa fedha na viti vya wauza njiwa.
Yeshua entered into the temple, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers' tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
13 Akawaambia, “Imeandikwa, `'Nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya maombi, `lakini ninyi mmeifanya pango la wanyang`anyi.”
He said to them, "It is written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers."
14 kisha vipofu na vilema wakamjia hekaluni, naye akawaponya.
The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15 Lakini wakati wakuu wa makuhani na waandishi walipoona maajabu aliyoyatenda, na waliposikia watoto wakipiga kelele hekaluni na kusema, “Hosana kwa Mwana wa Daudi,” walishikwa na hasira.
But when the chief cohanim and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David." they were indignant,
16 Wakamwambia, “Umesikia kile kinachosemwa na hawa watu?” Yesu akawaambia, “Ndiyo! Lakini hamjawahi kusoma, 'Kutoka kwa midomo ya watoto na watoto wachanga wanyonyao mna sifa kamili?''
and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Yeshua said to them, "Yes. Did you never read, 'Out of the mouth of children and infants you have prepared praise?'"
17 Kisha Yesu akawaacha na kwenda nje ya mji katika Bethania na kulala huko.
He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 Asubuhi alipokuwa anarudi mjini, alikuwa na njaa.
Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
19 Aliona mtini kandokando ya barabara. Akauendea, lakini hakupata kitu juu yake isipokuwa majani. Aliuambia, “Kusiwe na matunda kwako daima tena.” Na mara hiyo mtini ule ukanyauka. (aiōn g165)
Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, "Let there be no fruit from you forever." Immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
20 Wanafunzi walipoona, wakastaajabu na kusema, “Imekuwaje mtini umenyauka mara moja?”
When the talmidim saw it, they were amazed, saying, "How did the fig tree immediately wither away?"
21 Yesu akajibu na kuwaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, kama mkiwa na imani na bila wasiwasi, hamtafanya kile kilichofanyika kwa huo mtini tu, lakini mtauambia hata huo mlima, ` uchukuliwe na ukatupwe baharini, `na itafanyika.
Yeshua answered them, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it would be done.
22 Chochote mtakachoomba kwa sala, huku mkiamini, mtapokea.”
All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
23 Yesu alipofika hekaluni, wakuu wa makuhani na wazee wa watu wakamjia wakati alipokuwa akifundisha na kumwuliza, “Ni kwa mamlaka gani unafanya mambo haya? Na ni nani aliyekupa mamlaka haya?”
When he had come into the temple, the chief cohanim and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?"
24 Yesu akajibu na kuwaambia, “Nami tena nitawauliza swali moja. kama mkiniambia, nami vilevile nitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani ninafanya mambo haya.
Yeshua answered them, "I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Ubatizo wa Yohana- ulitoka wapi, mbinguni au kwa wanadamu?” Wakahojiana wenyewe, wakisema, tukisema, ulitoka mbinguni, `atatuambia, kwa nini hamkumwamini? `
The immersion of John, where was it from? From heaven or from people?" They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
26 Lakini tukisema, `ulitoka kwa wanadamu, `tunawaogopa makutano, kwa sababu wote wanamwona Yohana kama nabii.”
But if we say, 'From people,' we fear the crowd, for all hold John as a prophet."
27 Kisha wakamjibu Yesu na kusema, “Hatujui” Akawaambia pia, “Wala mimi sitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani nafanya mambo haya.
They answered Yeshua, and said, "We do not know." He also said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 Lakini mnafikiri nini? Mtu mwenye wana wawili. Akaenda kwa moja na kumwambia, `Mwanangu, nenda ukafanye kazi katika shamba la mizabibu
But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'
29 leo. `Mwana akajibu na kusema, `sitakwenda, ' Lakini baadaye akabadilisha mawazo yake na akaenda.
He answered, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
30 Na Mtu yule akaenda kwa mwana wa pili na kusema kitu kilekile. Mwana huyu akajibu na kusema, `nitakwenda, bwana', lakini hakwenda.
And he came to the other, and said the same thing. And he answered and said, 'I go, sir,' but he did not go.
31 Yupi kati ya wana wawili aliyefanya matakwa ya baba yake? Wakasema, “Mwana wa kwanza.” Yesu akawaambia, “Kweli nawaambieni, wakusanya ushuru na makahaba wataingia kwenye ufalme wa Mungu kabla yenu kuingia.
Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Yeshua said to them, "Truly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.
32 Kwa maana Yohana alikuja kwenu kwa njia iliyo nyoofu, lakini hamkumwamini, wakati wakusanya ushuru na makahaba walimwamini. Na ninyi, mlipoona hilo likitendeka, hamkuweza kutubu ili baadaye mumwamini.
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you did not even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
33 Sikilizeni mfano mwingine. Kulikuwa na mtu, mtu mwenye eneo kubwa la ardh. Alipanda mizabibu, akaiwekea uzio, akatengeneza na chombo cha kukamlia divai, akajenga na mnara wa walinzi, na akalikodisha kwa watunza zabibu. Kisha akaenda katika nchi nyingine.
"Hear another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.
34 Wakati wa mavuno ya mizabibu ulipokaribia, aliwatuma baadhi ya watumishi kwa wakulima wa mizabibu kuchukua mizabibu yake.
When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to receive his fruit.
35 Lakini wakulima wa zabibu wakawachukua watumishi wake, wakampiga mmoja, wakamwua mwingine, na wakampiga mmoja kwa mawe.
The tenants took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36 Kwa mara nyingine, Mmiliki aliwatuma watumishi wengine, wengi zaidi ya wale wa kwanza, lakini wakulima wa mizabibu waliwatendea vilevile.
Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.
37 Baada ya hapo bwana yule akamtuma kwao mwana wake, akisema, `'Watamheshimu mwanangu.'`
But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
38 Lakini wakulima wa mizabibu walipomwona kijana yule, wakaambizana, `'Huyu ni mrithi, Njooni, tumuue na tumiliki urithi.'
But the tenants, when they saw the son, said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and have his inheritance.'
39 `Hivyo wakamchukua, wakamtupa nje ya shamba la mizabibu na kumwua.
So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Je mmliki wa shamba la mizabibu atakapokuja, atawafanya nini wakulima wa mizabibu?”
When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?"
41 Wakamwambia, “Atawaharibu hao watu waovu katika njia ya ukali zaidi, na kisha atalikodisha shamba la mizabibu kwa wakulima wengine wa mizabibu, watu ambao watalipa kwa ajili ya mizabibu itakapoiva.”
They told him, "He will utterly destroy those evil men, and will lease out the vineyard to other tenants, who will give him the fruit in its season."
42 Yesu akawaambia, “Hamkusoma katika maandiko, 'Jiwe walilolikataa waashi limekuwa jiwe kuu la msingi. Hili lilitoka kwa Bwana, na inashangaza machoni petu?'
Yeshua said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?'
43 Hivyo nawaambieni, Ufalme wa Mungu utatwaliwa kutoka kwenu na kupewa taifa linalojali matunda yake.
"Therefore I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation bringing forth its fruit.
44 Yeyote atakayeanguka juu ya jiwe hilo atavunjwa vipandevipande. Lakini kwa yeyote litakayemwangukia, litamsaga.”
He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it will fall, it will crush him."
45 Wakuu wa makuhani na mafarisayo waliposikia mifano yake, wakaona kuwa anawazungumzia wao.
When the chief cohanim and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
46 Lakini kila walipotaka kunyosha mikono juu yake, waliogopa makutano, kwa sababu watu walimtazama kama nabii.
When they sought to seize him, they feared the crowds, because they considered him to be a prophet.
