< Matthew 21 >

1 When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
U Yesu na vavulanisivua vaake ye valipipi kufika ku Yelusalemu vakafika mu likaaja ilya Betifage, pa idunda ikya Miseituni, U Yesu akavasuung'ha avavulanisivua vavili,
2 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.
akavavula akati,”Mulute mu kikaaja kino kilikuvulongolo kulyumue, mukujaagha idogovi jikungilue, jilininyaake mwavule mundetele.
3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
Nave umuunhu ikuvaposia, mutisaghe, u Mutwa alinuvufumbue naso,'ghwope pe kyaikuvitikisiakukwisa naso”
4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
Isi silyavombike kukwilanisia ilisio lino lilyajovilue nu m'bilikuuti,
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
vavuule avaanhu ava mulikaaja ilya Syoni, kuuti Lolagha, UNtwa ghwinu ikwisa, Nkoola ikwisa angaliile idogovi, pakyanya pa dogovi, inyaanavija dogovi.
6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them,
Avavulanisivua vakaluta vakavomba ndavule u Yesu aveele avalaghile.
7 and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
Vakaleta idogovi jila palikimo ni nyanaake, vakatandika amenda ghaave pakyanya pa dogovi, u Yesu akangalila.
8 A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
Avaanhu vinga mu lipugha lila vakava vitandika amenda ghaave musila.
9 The multitudes who went in front of him, and those 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!”
Ilipugha lya vaanhu vano valyalongwile na vano valyale mumbele mwa Yesu vakaava ni njeghelo, ija lukelo viiti,”Aghinwaghe u Mwana ghwa David! Afunyilue juno ikwisa mu litavua lya Mutwa u Nguluve. Aghinwaghe u Nguluve juno alikukyanya!”
10 When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
U Yesu ye ikwingila mu likaaja ilya Yelusalemu, avaanhu ava mulikaaja ilio vakadegha kyongo, Vakava viposia viiti,”Uju ghwe veeni?
11 The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
“Avaanhu mu lipugha lila vakavamula vakati,”Uju ghwe m'bili u Yesu, kuhuma mulikaaja ilya Galilaya.”
12 Jesus entered into the temple of God 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.
U Yesu ye alimulikaaja ilya Yelusalemu akingila mu luviika ulwa nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila akavadagha vooni vano vakaghusiagha na kughula ifiinu. Akabilivandula imeesa isa vano vananiagha indalama ni fitengo ifya vaghusia ng'hunda.
13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”
U Yesu akavavula akati,”Lilembilue mu malembe a Mimike kuuti,'Inyumba jango jitambuluagha nyumba ja kufunyila,'Neke umue muhambwile kuuva mhanga ja valyasi.”
14 The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
U Yesu ye ali mu luviika lwa nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, avabofu amaaso na valema amaghulu vakaluta pa mwene akavasosia.
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,
Avavaha va vatekesi na vavulanisi va ndaghilo vakafyagha ifidegho fino avobile u Yesu, na kupulika vuule avaana vikumughinia mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila viiti,”Aghinwaghe u Mwana ghwa David,”mu uluo vakakalala kyongo.
16 and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”
Vakamposia u Yesu vakati,”Ghupulika sino avaana ava vijova? u Yesu akavamula akati,”Eena nipulika! Namwimbile mumalembe aMimike amasio ghano ghiiti,'Mu masio agha vaana avadebe na vafyele mwe muno uling'hanisie amalumbo?'”
17 He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.
U Yesu akaleka avaanhu vaala akavuka mu Yelusalemu akaluta ku kikaaja ikya Betania akava ukuo ikilo jooni.
18 Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
Palwakilo u Yesu ye igomoka ku Yelusalemu, injala jikam'bava.
19 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)
Pe akaghwagha umpiki untini ghumonga piipi ni sila. Akaveela, akavona nsila fipeke nambe kimo looli ghalimatundu gheene. Pe akaghuvuula umpiki ghula akati,”Kuhuma umusyughu naghukomagha ifipeke nambe padebe.”Na kalingi umpiki ghula ghukuuma. (aiōn g165)
20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
Avavulanisivua va Yesu ye vasivwene isio vakadegha kyongo vakamposia vakati,”Lwandani umpiki untini ughu ye ghwumile lino lino?”
21 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t 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.
U Yesu akamula akati,”Kyang'hani nikuvavulamungave nu lwitiko kisila kuuva ni nganinganib, na jumue munoghile kuvomba sino nivombile ku mpiki ughu, Na kwekuuti ndepoonu muvomba sisisio seene, looli nambe mungakivuule ikidunda iki kuuti,'kumuka ghutaaghe mu nyanja,'livombeka.
22 All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
Mungave nu lwitiko, fyoni fino musuuma kwa Nguluve, huvilagha kuuti mupelua.”
23 When he had come into the temple, the chief priests 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?”
U Yesu akingila kange mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, ye ivulanisia avaanhu avavaha va vatekesi na vagoyo va Vayahudi vakaluta pa mwene vakamposia vakati,”Ghuvomba isi mu vutavulilua vwani? Ghwe veeni juno akupeliile uvutavulilua uvuo?
24 Jesus 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.
U Yesu akamula akati,”Na juune nikuvaposia lumonga munganyamule pe na juune nikuvavuula nivomba isi mu vutavulilua vwani.
25 The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
Asi, uvutavulilua vwa Yohani uvwa kwofugha avaanhu vulyahumile kwani? Vulyahumile kwa Nguluve ku vaanhu? Pe vakatengula kuposania viiti, tungati vulyahumile kwa Nguluve kyaikutumposia iiti,'Ongo namulyamwitike?'
26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”
Kange tungati, vulyahumile ku vaanhu tukwoghopa ilipugha ili, ulwakuuva vooni vatang'hinie uYohani kuuti m'bili.”
27 They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Pe vakamwamula uYesu vakati, “Natukagwile.”Ghwoope u Yesu akavamula akati,”Na juune nanikuvavuula kuno vuhuma uvutavulilua vwa kuvomba isi.”
28 But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
U Yesu akavavuula kange akati, muvona ndani imhola iji? Kwe alyale umuunhu jumonga juno alyale na vaana vavili. Akaluta kwa mwana ghwa kwanda,'akam'bulaakatiMwanango, umusyughu ulute kuvomba imbombo ku mughunda ghwa sabibu.
29 He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
U mwana jula akamwamula akati,'Baali, nanilutaPambele akandula amasaghe ghaake akaluta kuvomba imbombo.
30 He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go.
Umuunhu jula akaluta kwa mwana ughwa vuvili akam'bula ndavule aveele am'bule ughwa kwanda. Akamwamula akati,'Eena niluta, Neke naakaluta.
31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.
Mu vaana vavili vala ghwe veeni juno alyavombile uvughane vwa viise? Vakamwamula vakati,”Ughwa kwanda.”u Yesu akavavula akati, Kyang'hani nikuvavuula avasongesia songo na vaghendamwalu vilikuvalongolela kukwingila ku vutwavwa Nguluve.
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
Ulwakuuva u Yohani alisile kulyumue kuuti avalungike isila ija vugholofu, looli avasongesia songo na vaghendamwalu valyamwitike, nambe ye musivwene sooni isio namulyalatile inyivi siinu na kukwupila imhola jaake.
33 “Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.
Pulikisia nivavuule ikihwanikisio ikingi. Pwealyale umuunhu jumonga alyalimile umughunda akavyala isabibu, Akajenga uluvigho kusyuta umughunda ghwoni, munkate akajenga apa kuhujila isabibu, kange akajenga pa vwimo apa kulolelelela umughunda, akaviika avavombi mu mughunda ghula neke umwene akakyula.
34 When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
Unsiki ughwa kupeta ye ghufikile, akasung'ha avakami vaake ku vavombi vaala kuuti vantolele ilighavo lyake ilya mpeto.
35 The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
Neke avavombi vala vakavakola avakami vala vano vasung'hilue, jumo vakantova, ujunge vankam'buda, jumonga vakantova na mavue.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.
Unyamughunda juula akavasung'ha kange avakami avange vinga kukila vano alyavasung'hile ulwa kwanda, Avavombi vala vakavavomba avakami avuo ndavule ava kwanda.
37 But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
Kuvusililo akavasung'ha umwanaake jujuo, akasagha akati,'Umwanango uju kyavikumwoghopagha.'
38 But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’
Neke avavombi vala ye vamwaghile umwana ghwa nya mughunda, vakapuling'hana vakati,'Uju ghwe nya vuhaasi, ghwa mughunda ughu tum'bude neke tutoole uvuhaasi vwake.
39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.
Vakankola, vakankwesela kunji ku mughunda ughwa sabibu vakam'buda.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
U Yesu akavaposia akati, lino unyamughunda jula kyande ikwisa kyaikuvavova kiki avavombi vala?
41 They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit in its season.”
Aveene vakamwamula vakati,”Ikuvam'buda kisila kukuvavonela ikisa avahosi vala kange umughunda ghwake ikuvaviika avavombi avange vano vikumpelagha ilighavo lyake ilya mpeto unsiki ghuno ghunoghile.
42 Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?
U Yesu akavavuula kange akati,”Namwimbile mumalembe aMimike kuuti,'Ilivue lino avajengi valyalikanile lye livue ilivaha ilya panguto u Mutwa u Nguluve ghwe mwene avombile ili kange lya kugegha pamaaso ghitu?'
43 “Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.
Mu uluo nikuvavuula kuuti, u Nguluve ivusia uvutwa vwake kulyumue na kukuvapeela avaanhu va iisi isingi vano vivomba isa vughane vwake.
44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
Umuunhu angaghue pa livue ilio idenyeng'hana, kange umuunhu ghweni lingamughwile, likudinyania lwoni.”
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
Avavaha va vatekesi na vafalisayi ye vapulike ifihwanikisio fya Yesu vakakagula kuuti ikuvajoova aveene.
46 When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
Pepeno vakalondagha kukunkola neke vakoghopa ilipugha, ulwakuuva avaanhu valyantang'hinie u Yesu kuuti m'bili.
