< Mark 11 >

1 When they came near to Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany [villages] near Olive [Tree] Hill. Then Jesus [summoned] two of his disciples.
Bhai, bhalinginji tome na ika ku Yelushalemu, gubhaikengenenje ku Bhetipage na ku Bhetania tome na shitumbi sha mikongo jishemwa Misheituni. Gubhaatumilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho bhabhili,
2 He said to them, “Go to that village just ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey that no one has ever ridden, that has been tied {people have tied} up. Untie it, and then bring it [to me].
gubhalugulilenje, “Nnjendangane kushijiji shili mmujo jenunji, pushinnjinjilanje mwenemo, shimung'imananje mwana mbunda atabhililwe, akanabhe jigala mundu. Munngopolanje nkanjiye najonji.
3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing that?’, say, [‘Jesus], our Lord, needs [to use] it. He will send it back here [with someone] as soon as [he no longer needs it].’”
Monaga mundu amuyangaga, ‘Pakuti nnatendanga nneyo?’ Munnugulilanje ‘Bhakulungwa bhanakummpinga na shibhamujenajo shangupe.’”
4 So [the two disciples] went and they found the young donkey. It was tied close to the door [of a house], which was beside the street. Then they untied it.
Bhai, gubhapitengenenje, gubhang'imenenje mwana mbunda atabhililwe pa nnango gwa nyumba, nnyenje mpanda njindo, pubhanngopolangaga,
5 Some of the [people who were there] said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
bhandu bhananji bhajimingenenje tome na penepo gubhaabhushiyenje, “Kwa nndi nnakungopolanga mwana mbundajo?”
6 They told them what Jesus had said. So the people permitted them [to take the donkey].
Gubhaajangwilenje malinga shibhalajilwenje na a Yeshu, nabhalabhonji gubhaaleshilenje bhajabhulanje.
7 They brought the donkey to Jesus. [The disciples] put some of their clothes on it [in order to make something for him to sit on].
Gubhaapeleshelenje a Yeshu mwana mbunda jula. Gubhatandikenje nngubho pantundu jakwe na gubhaakweshienje a Yeshu.
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him as a king]. Others, [in order to honor him], spread along the road branches that they cut from [palm trees] in the fields [beside the road].
Bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhatandikenje nngubho yabhonji mumpanda, na bhananji gubhatandikenje maagala gubhatemilenje mmigunda.
9 The people who were going in front of him and behind him were all shouting [things like], “Praise God!” “May God bless this one who comes (with his authority/as his representative) [MTY].”
Bhandu bhowe bhalongolelenje na bhakagulangaga nnyuma, gubhautienje lilobhe bhalinkutinji, “Bhainiywe! Bhaposhele mboka bhakwiya kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa!
10 “May you be blessed {May [God] bless you} when you rule [like] our ancestor [King] David ruled!” “Praise God who is in the highest heaven!”
Ushipegwa mboka Upalume ukwiya, gwa ainabhetu a Daudi. Bhainiywe a Nnungu kunani kaje kunnungu!”
11 He entered Jerusalem [with them], and then he went into the Temple [courtyard]. After he looked around at everything [there], he left [the city] because it was already late [in the afternoon]. He returned to Bethany with the twelve [disciples and slept there].
A Yeshu gubhajinjile kunjini ku Yelushalemu gubhapelengenye kwenda ku liekalu, gubhalolile indu yowe mowe. Pabha yashinkubha ligulo, gubhabhujile ku Bhetania na bhaajiganywa bhabho likumi limo na bhabhili bhala.
12 The next day, as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
Malabhi gakwe bhalinkushokangana ku Bhetania, a Yeshu gushaapoteshe shibhanga.
13 He saw from a distance a fig tree with all its leaves, so he went [to it] to see if he could find any [figs] on it. But when he came to it, he found only leaves on it. This was because it was not yet time when [normal fig trees have ripe] figs.
Bhai, gubhagubhweni nkongo ntini kwa taliya uli na maamba. Gubhagujendele nkuganishiya pana shibhakaiimane iepo. Bhakaisheje gubhagaimene maambape, pabha nngabha miongwe ja ogoya iepo.
14 [But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
A Yeshu gubhaulugulile ntini gula, “Tandubhila lelo na mobha gowe, mundu akalya iepo yako.” Na bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhapilikenenje malobhe gubhabhelekete. (aiōn g165)
15 Jesus and his disciples went [back] to Jerusalem. He entered the Temple [courtyard. He saw people] who were selling and buying [animals for sacrifices. They were spoiling the place of worship]. He chased those people [from the Temple courtyard.] He also overturned the tables of those who were giving Temple tax money in exchange for Roman coins. He overturned the seats of the men who were selling doves [for sacrifices],
Bhai, gubhaikengenenje ku Yelushalemu. A Yeshu gubhapite ku Liekalu, gubhatandwibhe kwabhinganjilanga palanga, bhandunji bhaushangaga na uma indu mwenemo. Gubhapindikwile mesha ya bhatindiganya mmbiya, na itengu ya bhausha ngunda.
16 and he would not allow anyone who was carrying anything [to sell] to go through the Temple [area].
Na wala bhanganneshelela mundu jojowe, kujinjiya wala kopoya shindu ku Liekalu.
17 Then as he taught those people, he said to them, “It is written {[One of the prophets] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called {[people] to call my house} a house where [people from] all nations may pray’, but you bandits have made it [like] a cave where you can hide! ([You know that!/Do you not know that]?) [RHQ]”
Kungai gubhaajigenyenje bhalinkuti, “Ishijandikwa Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo kuti, ‘Nyumba jangu shijishemwe nyumba ja jujila kwa bhandu bhowe!’ Ikabheje mmanganya nshikujitendebhuyanga nibha lishembo lya kwiiya bhagwii!”
18 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws [later] heard [about what he had done]. So they planned how they might kill him, [but they knew that it would be difficult], because they realized that the crowd was amazed at what he was teaching and they feared [that the people would soon decide that Jesus had more authority over the Temple than they did] (OR, [feared what the people would do if they tried to arrest Jesus]).
Bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila, na bhaajiganya bha Shalia, bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhatandwibhenje loleya shanabhuli pushibhaabhulaganje. Ikabheje bhashinkujogopanga, pabha lugwinjili lwa bhandu lwatendaga kanganigwa, kwa majiganyo gabho.
19 That evening, [Jesus and his disciples] left the city [and again slept in Bethany].
Likaisheje ligulo, a Yeshu na bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhashoshilenje pa nnjini pala.
20 [The next] morning, while they were going along [the road toward Jerusalem, they saw that the fig tree that Jesus had cursed] had withered completely.
Pa lyamba lyakwe bhalipitangana, gubhagubhweninji nkongo ntini gula gujumwile gowe kuumila kumbubhu.
21 Peter remembered [what Jesus had said to the fig tree] and he exclaimed to Jesus, “Teacher, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!”
A Petili gubhakumbushile, gubhaalugulile a Yeshu, “Mmajiganya, nnole! Ntini gumuuloshile gula, gujumwile!”
22 Jesus replied, “[You should not be surprised that God did what I asked]! You must trust that God [will do whatever you ask him to do]!
A Yeshu gubhaalugulile, “Nnapinjikwanga mwakulupalilanje a Nnungu.
23 [Also] note this: If anyone says to this hill, ‘Be raised up {Rise up} and then be thrown {throw yourself} into the lake!’ and if he does not doubt [that what he asks for will happen], that is, if he believes that what he asks for will happen, [God] will do it for him.
Kweli ngunakunnugulilanga, mundu ashilugulilaga ashi shitumbishi, ‘Tutumbuka ukaileshele mmashi,’ akuno akakola lipamba muntima gwakwe, ikabhe alikulupalila kuti yowe yabheleketayo inatendeka, shatendelwe shene shindusho.
24 So I tell you, whenever you ask [God] for something when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and, [if you do, God] will do it [for you].
Kwa nneyo ngunakunnugulilanga, punkujuganga shindu kwa a Nnungu, nkulupalilanje kuti mpegwilwenje na shimpegwanje.
25 Now, I [tell you this also]: Whenever you are praying, if you have a grudge against people [because they have harmed you], forgive them, in order that your Father in heaven will [likewise] forgive your sins.”
Punkujuganga Nnungu, munneshelelanje jojowe annebhilenje, nkupinga Ainabhenunji bhali kunnungu, bhanneshelelanje yambi yenunji.”
“Ikabheje nkaaleshelanje ajenunji, nkali Ainabhenunji bha kunnungu, bhakanneshelelanga yambi yenunji.”
27 Jesus and his disciples arrived in the Temple [courtyard] in Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking [there, a group consisting of] chief priests, [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and elders came to him and they said to him,
Gubhaikengenenje kabhili ku Yelushalemu, bhai pubhapitilaga kuliekalu, bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila, na bhaajiganya bha Shalia ya Musha, na bhanangulungwa gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu,
28 “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like those you did here yesterday]?”
Gubhaabhushiyenje, “Nnatenda genega kwa ukulungwa gwashi? Na gani ampele gwene ukulungwa gwa tenda yene indui?”
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do those things.
A Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Shinimmuyanje oti, nnyangulangaga, numbe nne shininnugulilanje ngunatenda yenei kwa ukulungwa gwashi.
30 Did God [MTY] or people [authorize] John to baptize [those who came to him]?”
Mashili ga ubhatisho gwa a Yowana kugakopweshe kunnungu eu kubhandu?”
31 They debated among themselves [as to what they should answer]. They [said to each other], “If we say that it was God [who authorized] him, he will say to us, ‘Therefore, (you should have believed what John said!/why did you not believe what John said?) [RHQ]’
Gubhatandwibhenje kubhuyana ashaayenenji bhalinkutinji, “Tulugulaga kuti kugakopweshe kunnungu, shibhatubhuye pakuti mwangaakulupalilanga?
32 On the other hand, if we say that it was people [who authorized John, then what will happen to us]?” They were afraid [to say that about where John got his authority, because they knew that] the people [would be very angry with them. They knew that] all the people truly believed that John was a prophet [whom God had sent].
Na tulugulaga kuti kugakopweshe ku bhandu, ntape.” Bhangajangulanga nneyo, nkwaajogopanga bhandu, pabha bhowe bhakulupalilenje kuti, a Yowana pubhaliji kweli ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question, I] will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
Bhai, gubhaajangwilenje a Yeshu, “Tukakukumanya.” Na bhalabho a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Na nne ngannugulilanga ngunatenda genega kwa mashili gashi.”
