Holy Week
Sunday
1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
Hata walipokaribia Yerusalemu karibu na Bethfage na Bethania, kukabili mlima wa Mizeituni, aliwatuma wawili katika wanafunzi wake,
2 and saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him .
akawaambia, Nendeni mpaka kile kijiji kinachowakabili; na katika kuingia ndani yake, mara mtaona mwana-punda amefungwa, asiyepandwa na mtu bado; mfungueni, kamleteni.
3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
Na mtu akiwaambia, Mbona mnafanya hivi? Semeni, Bwana anamhitaji na mara atamrudisha tena hapa.
4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
Wakaenda zao, wakamwona mwana-punda amefungwa penye mlango, nje katika njia kuu, wakamfungua.
5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
Baadhi ya watu waliosimama huko wakawaambia, Mnafanya nini kumfungua mwana-punda?
6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
Wakawaambia kama Yesu alivyowaagiza, nao wakawaruhusu.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
Wakamletea Yesu yule mwana-punda, wakatandika mavazi yao juu yake; akaketi juu yake.
8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
Watu wengi wakatandaza mavazi yao njiani, na wengine matawi waliyoyakata mashambani.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
Nao watu waliotangulia na wale waliofuata wakapaza sauti, Hosana; ndiye mbarikiwa ajaye kwa jina la Bwana;
10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
umebarikiwa na ufalme ujao, wa baba yetu Daudi. Hosana juu mbinguni.
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
Naye akaingia Yerusalemu hata ndani ya hekalu; na alipokwisha kutazama yote pande zote, kwa kuwa ni wakati wa jioni, akatoka, akaenda Bethania pamoja na wale Thenashara.
Monday
12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
Hata asubuhi yake walipotoka Bethania aliona njaa.
13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet .
Akaona kwa mbali mtini wenye majani, akaenda ili labda aone kitu juu yake; na alipoufikilia hakuona kitu ila majani; maana si wakati wa tini.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it .
Akajibu, akauambia, Tangu leo hata milele mtu asile matunda kwako. Wanafunzi wake wakasikia.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
Wakafika Yerusalemu, naye akaingia ndani ya hekalu, akaanza kuwafukuza wale waliokuwa wakiuza na kununua ndani ya hekalu, akazipindua meza za wabadili fedha, na viti vyao wauzao njiwa;
16 and would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
wala hakuacha mtu achukue chombo kati ya hekalu.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Akafundisha, akasema, Je! Haikuandikwa, Nyumba yangu itaitwa nyumba ya sala kwa mataifa yote? Bali ninyi mmeifanya kuwa pango la wanyang'anyi.
18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it , and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
Wakuu wa makuhani na waandishi wakapata habari wakatafuta jinsi ya kumwangamiza; maana walimwogopa, kwa sababu mkutano wote walishangaa kwa mafundisho yake.
19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
Na kulipokuwa jioni alitoka mjini.
Tuesday
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
Na asubuhi walipokuwa wakipita, waliuona ule mtini umenyauka toka shinani.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
Petro akakumbuka habari yake, akamwambia, Rabi, tazama, mtini ulioulaani umenyauka.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Yesu akajibu, akamwambia, Mwaminini Mungu.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Amin, nawaambia, Ye yote atakayeuambia mlima huu, Ng'oka ukatupwe baharini, wala asione shaka moyoni mwake, ila aamini kwamba hayo asemayo yametukia, yatakuwa yake.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them , and ye shall have them .
Kwa sababu hiyo nawaambia, Yo yote myaombayo mkisali, aminini ya kwamba mnayapokea, nayo yatakuwa yenu.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Nanyi, kila msimamapo na kusali, sameheni, mkiwa na neno juu ya mtu; ili na Baba yenu aliye mbinguni awasamehe na ninyi makosa yenu.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Lakini kama ninyi hamsamehe, wala Baba yenu aliye mbinguni hatawasamehe ninyi makosa yenu.]
27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
Wakafika Yerusalemu tena; hata alipokuwa akitembea hekaluni, walimwendea wakuu wa makuhani, na waandishi, na wazee,
28 and say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
wakamwambia, Ni kwa mamlaka gani unatenda mambo haya? Naye ni nani aliyekupa mamlaka hii uyatende haya?
29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Yesu akawaambia, Nitawauliza neno moja, nanyi mnijibu, kisha nitawaambia ni kwa mamlaka gani nayatenda haya.
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
Ubatizo wa Yohana ulitoka mbinguni, au kwa wanadamu? Nijibuni.
31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
Wakasemezana wao kwa wao, wakisema, Kama tukisema, Ulitoka mbinguni, atasema, Mbona, basi, hamkumwamini?
32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
Ila tukisema, Ulitoka kwa wanadamu, -- waliogopa watu; maana watu wote walimwona Yohana kuwa nabii halisi.
33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Wakamjibu Yesu, wakasema, Hatujui. Yesu akawaambia, Wala mimi siwaambii ninyi ni kwa mamlaka gani nayatenda haya.
