In Jerusalem
Triumphal Entry
1 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
Hata walipokaribia Yerusalemu, na kufika Bethfage, katika mlima wa Mizeituni, ndipo Yesu alipotuma wanafunzi wawili akiwaambia,
2 saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them , and bring them unto me.
Enendeni mpaka kijiji kile kinachowakabili, na mara mtaona punda amefungwa, na mwana-punda pamoja naye; wafungueni mniletee.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
Na kama mtu akiwaambia neno, semeni, Bwana anawahitaji; na mara huyo atawapeleka.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
Haya yote yamekuwa, ili litimie neno lililonenwa na nabii, akisema,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion,
Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,
Meek, and sitting upon an ass,
And a colt the foal of an ass.
Mwambieni binti Sayuni Tazama, mfalme wako anakuja kwako, Mpole, naye amepanda punda, Na mwana-punda, mtoto wa punda.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
Wale wanafunzi wakaenda zao, wakafanya kama Yesu alivyowaamuru,
7 and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
wakamleta yule punda na mwana-punda, wakaweka nguo zao juu yao, naye akaketi juu yake.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
Watu wengi katika ule mkutano wakatandaza nguo zao njiani; na wengine wakakata matawi ya miti, wakayatandaza njiani.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
Na makutano waliotangulia, na wale waliofuata, wakapaza sauti, wakisema, Hosana, Mwana wa Daudi; ndiye mbarikiwa, yeye ajaye kwa jina la Bwana; Hosana juu mbinguni.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
Hata alipoingia Yerusalemu, mji wote ukataharuki, watu wakisema, Ni nani huyu?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Makutano wakasema, Huyu ni yule nabii, Yesu, wa Nazareti ya Galilaya.
Cleansed the Temple
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
Yesu akaingia ndani ya hekalu, akawafukuza wote waliokuwa wakiuza na kununua hekaluni, akazipindua meza za wabadili fedha, na viti vyao waliokuwa wakiuza njiwa;
13 and said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
akawaambia, Imeandikwa, Nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya sala; bali ninyi mmeifanya kuwa pango la wanyang'anyi.
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Na vipofu na viwete wakamwendea mle hekaluni, akawaponya.
15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,
Lakini wakuu wa makuhani na waandishi walipoyaona maajabu aliyoyafanya, na watoto waliopaza sauti zao hekaluni, wakisema, Hosana, Mwana wa Daudi! Walikasirika,
16 and said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
wakamwambia, Wasikia hawa wasemavyo? Yesu akawaambia, Naam; hamkupata kusoma, Kwa vinywa vya watoto wachanga na wanyonyao umekamilisha sifa?
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
Akawaacha, akatoka nje ya mji mpaka Bethania, akalala huko.
The Barren Fig Tree
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
Hata asubuhi alipokuwa akienda mjini, aliona njaa.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
Akaona mtini mmoja kando ya njia, akauendea, asione kitu juu yake ila majani tu; akauambia, Yasipatikane matunda kwako tangu leo hata milele. Mtini ukanyauka mara.
20 And when the disciples saw it , they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
Wanafunzi walipoona, walistaajabu, wakisema, Jinsi gani mtini umenyauka mara?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
Yesu akajibu, akawaambia, Amin, nawaambia Mkiwa na imani, msipokuwa na shaka, mtafanya si hilo la mtini tu, lakini hata mkiuambia mlima huu, Ng'oka, ukatupwe baharini, litatendeka.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Na yo yote mtakayoyaomba katika sala mkiamini, mtapokea.
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
Hata alipokwisha kuingia hekaluni, wakuu wa makuhani na wazee wa watu wakamwendea alipokuwa akifundisha, wakasema, Ni kwa amri gani unatenda mambo haya? Naye ni nani aliyekupa amri hii?
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Yesu akajibu akawaambia, Na mimi nitawauliza neno moja; ambalo mkinijibu, nami nitawaambia ni kwa amri gani ninatenda haya.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
Ubatizo wa Yohana ulitoka wapi? Ulitoka mbinguni, au kwa wanadamu? Wakahojiana wao kwa wao, wakisema, Tukisema, Ulitoka mbinguni, atatuambia, Mbona basi hamkumwamini?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
Na tukisema, Ulitoka kwa wanadamu, twaogopa mkutano; maana watu wote wamwona Yohana kuwa ni nabii.
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
Wakamjibu Yesu wakasema, Hatujui. Naye akawaambia, Wala mimi siwaambii ninyi ni kwa amri gani ninatenda haya.
28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
Lakini mwaonaje? Mtu mmoja alikuwa na wana wawili; akamwendea yule wa kwanza, akasema, Mwanangu, leo nenda kafanye kazi katika shamba la mizabibu.
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
Akajibu akasema, Naenda, Bwana; asiende.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go , sir: and went not.
Akamwendea yule wa pili, akasema vile vile. Naye akajibu akasema, Sitaki; baadaye akatubu, akaenda.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
Je! Katika hao wawili ni yupi aliyefanya mapenzi ya babaye? Wakamwambia, Ni yule wa pili. Basi Yesu akawaambia, Amin nawaambia, watoza ushuru na makahaba wanatangulia mbele yenu kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu.
32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it , repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
Kwa sababu Yohana alikuja kwenu kwa njia ya haki, ninyi msimwamini; lakini watoza ushuru na makahaba walimwamini, nanyi hata mlipoona, hamkutubu baadaye, ili kumwamini.
The Wicked Husbandmen
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
Sikilizeni mfano mwingine. Kulikuwa na mtu mwenye nyumba, naye alipanda shamba la mizabibu, akalizungusha ugo, akachimba shimo la shinikizo ndani yake, akajenga mnara, akapangisha wakulima, akasafiri.
34 and when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
Wakati wa matunda ulipokuwa karibu, akawatuma watumwa wake kwa wale wakulima, wapokee matunda yake.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Wale wakulima wakawakamata watumwa wake, huyu wakampiga, na huyu wakamwua, na huyu wakampiga kwa mawe.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Akawatuma tena watumwa wengine wengi kuliko wa kwanza wakawatenda vile vile.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
Mwishowe akamtuma mwanawe kwao, akisema, Watamstahi mwanangu.
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Lakini wale wakulima walipomwona yule mwana, wakasemezana wao kwa wao, Huyu ni mrithi; haya na tumwue, tuutwae urithi wake.
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him .
Wakamkamata, wakamtupa nje ya shamba la mizabibu, wakamwua.
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
Basi atakapokuja yule bwana wa shamba la mizabibu, atawatendaje wale wakulima?
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Wakamwambia, Atawaangamiza vibaya wale wabaya; na shamba la mizabibu atawapangisha wakulima wengine, watakaomlipa matunda kwa wakati wake.
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures,
The stone which the builders rejected,
The same is become the head of the corner:
This is the Lord's doing,
And it is marvellous in our eyes?
Yesu akawaambia, Hamkupata kusoma katika maandiko, Jiwe walilolikataa waashi, Hilo limekuwa jiwe kuu la pembeni; Neno hili limetoka kwa Bwana, Nalo ni ajabu machoni petu?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Kwa sababu hiyo nawaambia, Ufalme wa Mungu utaondolewa kwenu, nao watapewa taifa lingine lenye kuzaa matunda yake.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Naye aangukaye juu ya jiwe hilo atavunjika-vunjika; naye ye yote ambaye litamwangukia, litamsaga tikitiki.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
Wakuu wa makuhani na Mafarisayo, waliposikia mifano yake, walitambua ya kuwa anawanenea wao.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Nao walipotafuta kumkamata, waliwaogopa makutano, kwa maana wao walimwona kuwa nabii.
