Matthew 21
1 And when they had drawn near to Jerusalem, and had arrived at Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Che Yesu pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵao ŵaŵandichile ku Yelusalemu, ni paŵaiche ku Besefage pachikwesya cha Miseituni, ŵatumile ŵakulijiganya ŵaŵili.
2 saying to them: “Go into the town that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Release them, and lead them to me.
Ŵaasalile, “Njaule kunsinda wauli mmbujo mwenu, ni kweleko chinkajisimane mbunda jajitaŵikwe ni mwanambunda pamo najo. Nkaagopole njise nawo kwangune.
3 And if anyone will have said anything to you, say that the Lord has need of them. And he will promptly dismiss them.”
Iŵaga chakammusye mundu ligongo lya kwagopola, nkajile, ‘Ambuje akusisaka,’ ni pangakaŵa chakannechele.”
4 Now all this was done in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet, saying,
Ali lyatendekwe kuti gamalile gaŵaŵechete jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion: Behold, your king comes to you meekly, sitting on a donkey and on a colt, the son of one accustomed to the yoke.”
“Mwasalile ŵandu ŵa musi wa Sayuni, Nnole, Mwenye jwenu akunnyichilila! Atulele, ni akwesile mbunda, ni mwanambunda, chinyama chachikujigala itutule.”
6 Then the disciples, going out, did just as Jesus instructed them.
Ŵakulijiganya ŵala ŵajawile, ŵatesile mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni Che Yesu.
7 And they brought the donkey and the colt, and they laid their garments on them, and they helped him sit upon them.
Ŵajiichenawo mbunda ni mwanambunda, ŵatandiche nguo syao pachanya pawo ni Che Yesu ŵatemi pachanya pakwe.
8 Then a very numerous crowd spread their garments on the way. But others cut branches from the trees and scattered them on the way.
Mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu watandiche nguo syao mwitala, ni ŵane ŵakatile nyambi sya mwana sya itela ni ŵatandiche mwitala.
9 And the crowds that preceded him, and those that followed, cried out, saying: “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!”
Mipingo ja ŵandu ŵaŵalongolele ni ŵaŵakuiye ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Ajinichilwe Mwana ju che Daudi, Akole upile jwele jwakwika mu liina lya Ambuje! Ajinichilwe Akunnungu ŵaali kwinani!”
10 And when he had entered into Jerusalem, the entire city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
Che Yesu paŵajinjilaga ku Yelusalemu, ŵandu ŵa musi wose ŵaliji jugulijuguli. Ŵandu ŵaliji nkuusyana, “Ana aju ali nduni?”
11 But the people were saying, “This is Jesus, the Prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Ŵandu mu mpingo ula ŵatite, “Ŵeleŵa ni Che Yesu, jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu kutyochela ku Nasaleti musi wa ku Galilaya.”
12 And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and he cast out all who were selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of the vendors of doves.
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵajinjile mu lutenje lwa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵaaŵinjile ŵanawose uŵasumisyaga ni kusuma malonda pepala, ŵapitikwisye mesa sya ŵaŵasumanyaga mbiya, ni itengu yao ŵaŵasumisyaga nguunda.
13 And he said to them: “It is written: ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer. But you have made it into a den of robbers.’”
Ŵaasalile, “Ilembekwe Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu, ‘Nyuumba jangu chijiŵilanjikwe nyuumba ja kupopelela.’ Nambo ŵanyamwe njitesile peuto pakulisisila ŵa wiyi.”
14 And the blind and the lame drew near to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Ŵangalola ni ŵakulemala ŵanjaulile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, nombe Che Yesu ŵalamisye.
15 Then the leaders of the priests and the scribes became indignant, seeing the miracles that he wrought, and the children crying out in the temple, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”
Achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo paŵaiweni indu yambone nnope iŵaitesile Che Yesu ni ŵanache ali nkunyanyisya pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu achitiji, “Ajinichilwe Mwana ju che Daudi,” ŵanyawo ŵatumbile.
16 And they said to him, “Do you hear what these ones are saying?” But Jesus said to them, “Certainly. Have you never read: For out of the mouth of babes and infants, you have perfected praise?”
Ŵausisye, “Uli ngankupilikana yakuti ŵanache?” Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Elo, ngupikana! Ana nganinsyome Maloŵe ga? ‘Kutyochela nkang'wa sya ŵanache achanandi ni ŵakonga, nlipatile lumbili lwemalilwe.’”
17 And leaving them behind, he went out, beyond the city, into Bethania, and he lodged here.
Nipele, ŵalesile, ŵakopweche mmusi ni kwaula ku Besania ni kugona kweleko.
18 Then, as he was returning to the city in the morning, he was hungry.
Kundaŵi, Che Yesu paŵaujaga kwaula ku Yelusalemu, jakwete sala.
19 And seeing a certain fig tree beside the way, he approached it. And he found nothing on it, except only leaves. And he said to it, “May fruit never spring forth from you, for all time.” And immediately the fig tree was dried up. (aiōn g165)
Ŵauweni ntini mungulugulu litala, ŵaujaulile, nambo nganachisimana chindu mwelemo, ŵausimene uli masamba pe. Ŵausalile, “Nkasogola isogosi sooni moŵa gose pangali mbesi!” Papopo nkuju wo wanyasile. (aiōn g165)
20 And seeing this, the disciples wondered, saying, “How did it dry up so quickly?”
Ŵakulijiganya paŵauweni, ŵasimosile, ŵaliusisye, “Ntini u ujumwile chinauli chitema kwantinyi?”
21 And Jesus responded to them by saying: “Amen I say to you, if you have faith and do not hesitate, not only shall you do this, concerning the fig tree, but even if you would say to this mountain, ‘Take and cast yourself into the sea,’ it shall be done.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Ngunsalila isyene, mwaŵaga ni chikulupi pangali lipamba lili lyose, chinkombole kupanganya ngaŵa yeleyo pe yaitendekwe mu chitela cha ntini, nambo atamuno mwachisalilaga achi chitumbi chi, ‘Ntupuche ni kuliponya mu bahali,’ chiitendekwe iyoyo.
22 And all things whatsoever that you shall ask for in prayer: believing, you shall receive.”
Mwakolaga chikulupi, chachilichose chachimmende nkupopela, chimpate.”
23 And when he had arrived at the temple, as he was teaching, the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people approached him, saying: “By what authority do you do these things? And who has given this authority to you?”
Che Yesu ŵajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ni kwiganya. Paŵajiganyaga, achakulu ŵa mbopesi ni achakulu ŵane ŵa ŵandu ŵausisye kuti, “Ana kwa ukombole chi nkutenda yele indu yi? Ŵaani ŵampele wele ukombole u?”
24 In response, Jesus said to them: “I also will question you with one word: if you tell me this, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “None chinammusye liusyo limo pe, mwanyangaga, nipele, none chinansalile kwa ukombole chi nguitenda indu yi.
25 The baptism of John, where was it from? Was it from heaven, or from men?” But they thought within themselves, saying:
Uli ukombole u che Yohana wa kubatisya watyochele kwapi? Watyochele kwinani pane kwa ŵandu?” Nambo ŵaŵechetesyene achinsyene pe achitiji, “Twajilaga, ‘Watyosile kwinani,’ chatuusye, ‘Nambi kwachichi nganimunkulupilila?’
26 “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ But if we say, ‘From men,’ we have the crowd to fear, for they all hold John to be a prophet.”
Nambo twajilaga, ‘Watyochele kwa ŵandu,’ tukogopa mpingo wa ŵandu pakuŵa ŵanawose akwitichisya kuti che Yohana ali jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.”
27 And so, they answered Jesus by saying, “We do not know.” So he also said to them: “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Nipele, ŵajanjile, “Ngatukumanyilila!” Nombe Che Yesu ŵatite, “Atamuno une ngangunsalila ŵanyamwe kwa ukombole chi nguitenda indu yi.
28 But how does it seem to you? A certain man had two sons. And approaching the first, he said: ‘Son, go out today to work in my vineyard.’
“Ŵanyamwe nkuganisya uli? Mundu jumo ŵakwete achachanda ŵaŵili. Ŵantendele jwaandanda jo kuti, ‘Mwanangu, lelo njaule nkapanganye masengo mungunda wa sabibu.’
29 And responding, he said, ‘I am not willing.’ But afterwards, being moved by repentance, he went.
Nchanda jo ŵajanjile, ‘Ngangusaka!’ Nambo kanyuma kakwe ŵapitikwiche ntima, ŵajawile kupanganya masengo.
30 And approaching the other, he spoke similarly. And answering, he said, ‘I am going, lord.’ And he did not go.
Atati ŵala ŵanjaulile mwanagwe jwaaŵili jo ni kunsalila ilaila, nombe ŵajanjile ŵatite, ‘Elo, atati!’ Nambo nganajaula kumasengo.
31 Which of the two did the will of the father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them: “Amen I say to you, that tax collectors and prostitutes shall precede you, into the kingdom of God.
Ana jwapi jwa ŵele ŵaŵili wo jwatesile yakuisaka atatigwe?” Ŵajanjile, “Jwanchanda jwaandanda jo.” Che Yesu ŵatite, “Ngunsalila isyene, ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵakulaŵalaŵa chajinjile mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu nkanaŵe kwinjila.
32 For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. Yet even after seeing this, you did not repent, so as to believe him.
Pakuŵa che Yohana ŵaiche kukwenu ni kunnanjila kutama yambone nti yakuti pakusaka Akunnungu, ni ŵanyamwe nganimunkulupilila, nambo ŵakukumbikanya nsongo ni ŵakulaŵalaŵa ŵankulupilile. Ni ŵanyamwe pammasile kugawona gele nganinleka sambi ni kunkulupilila.”
33 Listen to another parable. There was a man, the father of a family, who planted a vineyard, and surrounded it with a hedge, and dug a press in it, and built a tower. And he loaned it out to farmers, and he set out to sojourn abroad.
Che Yesu ŵatite, “Mpilikanile chitagu chine. Jwapali mundu jumo nsyene nyuumba ŵalimile ngunda wa sabibu, ŵausyunguchisye lutenje ni ŵakolosisye pakuminyila sabibu, ŵataŵile chilindo mmomopemo. Nipele ŵaujasimisye kwa ŵakulima ni kwaula ku chilambo cha kutalika.
34 Then, when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, so that they might receive its fruits.
Katema ka kugungula, ŵatumile achikapolo ŵao kwa ŵakulima ŵala, kuti akajigale liunjili lyakwe lya magungulo.
35 And the farmers apprehended his servants; they struck one, and killed another, and stoned yet another.
Ŵakulima ŵala ŵakamwile achikapolo ŵao, jumo ŵamputile, ni jwine ŵammuleje, ni jwine ŵamponyile maganga.
36 Again, he sent other servants, more than before; and they treated them similarly.
Sooni ŵatumile achikapolo ŵane ŵajinji kupunda ŵa kundanda. Ŵakulima ŵala ŵajasime ngunda ŵatendele ilaila.
37 Then, at the very end, he sent his son to them, saying: ‘They will revere my son.’
Kumbesi kwakwe ŵantumile mwanagwe achiganisyaga mu ntima wakwe achitiji, ‘Chakanchimbichisye mwanangu.’
38 But the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves: ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and then we will have his inheritance.’
Nambo ŵakulima ŵala paŵammweni mwanagwao ŵaŵechetesyene achinsyene pe, ‘Aju ni juchapochele iŵagosele, twende tummulaje kuti indu iŵagosele tujigale uwe!’
39 And apprehending him, they cast him outside the vineyard, and they killed him.
Nipele, ŵankamwile, ŵantyosisye paasa ngunda wa sabibu, ŵammuleje.
40 Therefore, when the lord of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those farmers?”
“Sambano, nsyene ngunda wa sabibu jula pachachiika, chachatenda ichichi ŵakulima ŵala?”
41 They said to him, “He will bring those evil men to an evil end, and he will loan out his vineyard to other farmers, who shall repay to him the fruit in its time.”
Ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Chachajonanga wamba ŵele ŵachigongomalo wo ni ngunda wa sabibu ula chachiujasimisya kwa ŵakulima ŵane uchachapa liunjili lyakwe lya magungulo kwa katema kakwe.”
42 Jesus said to them: “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone that the builders have rejected has become the cornerstone. By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes?’
Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Uli ana nganinsyome lye liloŵe li Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu? ‘Liganga liŵalikanile ŵakutaŵa sambano lilyolyo lili lyetendekwe liganga lyalikusachilwa kwannope kugapunda maganga gose. Ambuje ni ŵatesile achi chindu chi, nombe chili chakusimonjeka nnope kwetuwe!’
43 Therefore, I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and it shall be given to a people who shall produce its fruits.
“Kwayele ngunsalila, Umwenye wa Akunnungu chiutyosekwe kukwenu, ni kupegwa ŵandu ŵakupanganya yakuisaka Akunnungu.”
44 And whoever will have fallen on this stone shall be broken, yet truly, on whomever it shall fall, it will crush him.”
Jwalijose juchagwilile pa liganga lyo chakasiche ipande ipande, ni jwalijose juchilyagwilile, chilinkanyatekanyate.
45 And when the leaders of the priests, and the Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them.
Achakulu ŵa mbopesi ni Mafalisayo paŵapilikene itagu yao, ŵamanyilile kuti ŵaliji nkwagamba ŵanyawo.
46 And though they sought to take hold of him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet.
Nipele ŵasosaga litala lya kwakamula, nambo ŵajogwepe ŵandu pakuŵa ŵanyawo ŵanganisisye nti jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
