Matthew 21 (BOU)

1Yesu na wahina wakwe wekubuaho hehi na Yelusalemu na kubua hantu hetangwaho Betifage mwe muima wa Mizaituni, akawaagiiya wahina wakwe waidi,As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,

2akawamba, “Hitani adi mwe mzi weiho hemeso yenu na aho mwendamumbwiiye phunda kazengetezwa uzigi na mwanawe kazengetezwa uzigi khandai yakwe wavugueni mkawaete.saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt beside her. Untie them and bring them to Me.

3Inga mntu akawauza kwambwai mwawadoa phunda, mmwambe, Zumbe awakunda, na mwenye phunda endaawekhe kinyio.”If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

4Mbui inu igosoka ili yada yekugombekwayo na Muoni wa Muungu yaiganyie,This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

5“Wagombekeni wantu wa mzi wa Sayuni, Kauwa, Seuta yako akwezea! Ni mhuhusi, nae eza akawa kekaa uwanga ya phunda, Mwana phunda.”“Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”

6Ivyo wada wahina wakaita wakagosoa inga Yesu ekuwaagiiavyo.So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.

7Wakamweta yuda phunda na mwanawe, wakatandika nguo zao uwanga ya phunda na Yesu akekaa uwanga yakwe.They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.

8Zumwezumwe kuu da wantu wakatandaza nguo zao mwe sia na wantu watuhu wakasenga matambi madodo dodo ya miti nayo wakayatandaza mwe sia.A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

9Zumwezumwe da wantu wekuongoao na wada wamtongeao wakatoa mgutio, “Atogolwe Mwana wa Daudi! Ajaiwe uyo ezae kwa zina da Zumbe! Atogolwe Muungu uwanga!”The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

10Yesu ekwengiaho Yelusalemu mzi wose wakawa na matumatu. Wantu wakawa wauzana, “Uyu ni nindai?”When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

11Wantu mwe dia zumwezumwe wakagombeka, “Uyu ni Yesu, yuda muoni kulawa Nazaleti mzi wa Galilaya.”The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

12Aho, Yesu akengia he Nyumba ya Muungu, na kuwaguusa wose wekuwao wakagua na kutaga vintu he Nyumba ya Muungu. Akazihitua meza za wada wekuwao wahitua hea, na vigoda vya wada wekuwao wataga sua.Then Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.

13Akawamba, “Iyandikwa mwe Maandiko ya Muungu, ‘Nyumba yangu indaiwe nyumba ya kuvika.’ Iya nywie mwiitenda phanga da wabavi!”And He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

14Wantu wekuwao matuntu na wekuviao wakambasa uko kwe Nyumba ya Muungu, nae Yesu akawahonya.The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.

15Aho, waviki wakuu na wahinyi wa miko wakakimwa muno wekuonaho vihii ekugosoavyo Yesu hamwe na kuwategeeza wana wekuwavyo walavya mgutio kwe Nyumba ya Muungu wakamba, “Atogolwe Mwana Daudi.”But the chief priests and scribes were indignant when they saw the wonders He performed and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”

16Ivyo wakamwamba, “Ivi, wategeeza wambavyo?” Yesu akawatambaisa, “Eehe, nategeeza!” Ivi khamzati kusoma Maandiko aya? “Kwa miomo ya wana wadodo na wateke, Muungu kawagosoa wamtogoe yee.”“Do You hear what these children are saying?” they asked. “Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read: ‘From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise’?”

17Aho Yesu akawabada, akalawa chongoi ya mzi na kuita mwe phaamo ya Besania, na akagona uko.Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.

18Keokeo da mtungaihu Yesu ekuwaho auya mwe mzi neekawa na saa.In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.

19Akoona mtini khandakhanda ya sia, akautimia hehi, akini khekuona tunda dodose iya manidu. Ahoaho akaugombeka uda mtini, “Wesekuvyaa vituhu matunda misi yose!” Aho uwo mtini ukanyaa.Seeing a fig tree by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. “May you never bear fruit again!” He said. And immediately the tree withered.

20Wahina wakwe wekuonaho mbui iyo wakahondomaa, wakamuuza, “Iwa viivihi mti unu wa mtini unyaa kinyio?”When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”

21Yesu akawatambaisa, “Nawamba kwei, inga mkazumiiya na mkesekuwa na matumatu, mwadaha khio du kugosoa ivyo kwa yada yekugosokanayo kwa unu mtini, iya ata mkawamba muima unu halawe uketambike mwe mazimshindo, inda igosoke ivyo.“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.

22Na mkazumiiya, dodose mwendado muombeze kwa kuvika, mwenda mwekhigwe.”If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

23Yesu ekwengiaho, he Nyumba ya Muungu wagookezi wa waviki na wadaa wa wantu wakamwezea ekuwaho akahinya na kugombeka, “Wagosoa mbui izi kwa udaho wani, nae ni ndai mwe kukwekha udaho unu?”When Jesus returned to the temple courts and began to teach, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to Him. “By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You this authority?”

24Yesu akawatambaisa, “Na miye nendaniwauze mbui mwenga, mkanitambaisa, na miye nendaniwambe nagosoa mbui izi kwa udaho wani.“I will also ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

25Ubatiizo wa Yohana, ulawa kuhi? Ulawa kwa Muungu hambu ulawa kwa wantu?” Wakavoka kuuzana wowo kwa wowo, “Tikamba ulawa kwa Muungu, endaatiuze, mbona khamwekumzumiiya?”What was the source of John’s baptism? Was it from heaven or from men?” They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

26Iya tikamba, “Ulawa kwa wantu, taogoha zumwezumwe da wantu kwaviya wose wammanya Yohana Mbatiiza kuwa ni muoni wa Muungu.”But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”

27Kwaiyo wakamtambaisa, “Swie khatimanya.” Nae Yesu akawamba, “Wala na miye khina niwambie ni kwa udaho wani natenda mbui izi.”So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

28“Nywie mwamamaakhanya viivihi? Mntu yumwe nee ana wana waidi wakigosi. Akamwamba yuda wa bosi, ‘Mwanangu, ivyeo hita kwe mnda wa mizabibu ukaime.’But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first one and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’

29Yuda mwana akamtambaisa, ‘Miye khina niite,’ bada ya mda akamamakhanya na akaita.‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.

30Nee yuda tate akambasa mwanawe mtuhu akamwamba viyaviya. Yee akatambaisa, ‘Nenda niite Tate,’ iya khekuita.Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.

31Gatigati ya awo wana waidi ni yuhi mwe kugosoa kida ekukundacho Tati yao?” Wakamtambaisa, “Ni yuda wa bosi.” Yesu akawamba, “Watoza ushuu na wakiyanga wao wendawaongoe kwengia mwe Useuta wa Muungu.”Which of the two did the will of his father?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.

32Kwaviya Yohana Mbatiiza keza kwenu na kuwaonyesha sia yedi, iya khamwekumzumiiya, akini watoza ushuu na wakiyanga wamzumiia. Nywie hata mwe kuonaho ayo, khamwekuhituka na khamwekuzumiiya.For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.

33Yesu akamba, “Tegeezani msimo mtuhu. Nee kuwa na mntu yumwe mwenye mnda wa mizabibu. Akadizengea buha na akafuka tubwi mda ndani da kukamwiiya divai, na akazenga mnaa. Naho akawekha waimi uwo mnda, na akatamba na kuita si ya hae.”Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a tower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.

34Kisingi cha ubosi chekubuaho, akawaagiiya wandima wakwe kwa wada waimi wakadoe hantu ha ubosi wakwe.When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.

35Wada waimi wakawagwiiya awo wandima, yumwe wakamtoa na yumwe wakamkoma na mtuhu wakamtoa maiwe.But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.

36Uyo mntu akawaagiiya wandima watuhu, wangi na wangi kusima wada wa ntambo ya bosi. Wada waimi wakawagosweeya ya viyaviya inga wezwao wa bosi.Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.

37Kisikiizi akamwagiiya mwanawe kwao, uku amamaakhanya, na kugombeka, “Wendawamtunye mwanangu.”Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

38Iya wada waimi wekumwonaho ni mwanawe wakegombekea wowo kwa wowo, “Uyu nee mpazi na timkome na upazi wakwe tiudoe swie!”But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take his inheritance.’

39Ahoaho wakamgwiiya na kumlavya chongoi ya uda mnda wa mizabibu na kumkoma.So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

40Yesu akawauza, “Yuda mwenye mnda, endahoeze andaawatende mbwai wada waimi?”Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”

41Wowo wakamtambaisa, “Haika, endaawakome na uda mnda enda awekhe waimi watuhu, wendao wamwekhe hantu ha ubosi kwa kisingi chakwe.”“He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his share of the fruit at harvest time.”

42Yesu akawamba, “Khamzati kusoma mwe Maandiko yagombekavyo? ‘Iwe wekuemeado wazengi Isasa diwa iwe kuu da khandakhanda. Zumbe nee mwe kugosoa mbui inu, Nayo ni kiozo muno umu mwetu!’Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

43“Nawagombeka,” “Useuta wa Muungu wendauusigwe aha henu na kwekhigwa wantu wa si ntuhu wada wagosoao yada yamtamizayo Muungu.”Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.

44Yesu akaendeea kugombeka, “Yee endaeagwe mwe iwe idi endaabondeke bondeke ntii, iya yuda dendaedimgwiiye endaahondeke muno.”He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

45Wagookezi wa waviki wakuu na Mafalisayo wekutegeezaho misimo iyo wakamanya nee akawagombekea wowo.When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.

46Wakoondeza sia ya kumgwiiya, iya wakaogoha zumwezumwe da wantu kwaviya wantu nee wamkauwa Yesu kuwa ni muoni.Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
