1Yesu naloyali habehi kwinjila Yelusalemu, nawafika Betifage na Betaniya, habehi na chidunda cha Mizeituni. Yesu nakawalajiza walanguswa wa heye weli,
2nakawalonjela, “Mlute hali chijiji chiwele kumwando kwa hemwe. Lomkwinjila amo, molifika idogowi lyana liwohigwe, ling'hali kolamijito joneche. Mlichumulile mligale.
3Wone munhu yawauze, lekachoni mwangudita ahyo? Mumlonjele, Mkulu kanguligana kolihilusa hamba.”
4Baho, nawaluta, nawalifika idogowi lyana limwe likoweligwe hali lwizi. Nalowali wolidohola,
5wanhu wamwenga wawele hala nawawauza, “Lekachoni mwangulidohola alyo idogowi lyana?”
6Walanguswa nawawedichila kota vyowalonjelwe na Yesu, nawo nawawaleka waluta nalyo.
7Nawamhilichila Yesu alyo idogowi lyana, nawamtandichila nguwo za hewo kuli idogowi na Yesu kakwina kekalisa.
8Wanhu wenji nawazanza nguwo za hewo mbalabala, wanji nawalambalika miputi ja migodi jowatemile kumigunda.
9Wanhu weng'ha walongole na wawele kumbele nawakwiniza lizi wolonga, “Lutogo! Yamtambichizwe ayo yalinguya kwa itagwa lya Mkulu!
10Utambichizwe Undewa ulinguya wa mhaza wa hetwe Daudi. Yatogoligwe Nguluwi kuchanya kilanga.”
11Yesu nakenjila Yelusalemu nakaluta mbaka kuli luga lwa Ng'handa ya Nguluwi, nakalolalola, nakona chila chinhu cha goya. Na kwa vila nayali matinazo, nakaluta Betaniya hamwe na wala kumi na weli.
12Hamitondo, nalowali wolawa Betaniya, Yesu nakona nzala.
13Lelo nakalyona kwa kutali igodi lya misada liwele na mahamba menji, nakalihejelela habehi leka yalole kota lina mafuza goneche. Loyaufichile, nakalyona lilihela mafuza, ila mahamba yeka, kwa vila hawali mhela wa kulela mafuza.
14Baho nakalilonjela lila igodi, “Kwaluchila lehano na mazuwa gose munhu yoneche yaleche kulya mafuza ga hegwe.” Walanguswa wa heye nawahulika ulonzi awo.
15Lelo nawafika Yelusalemu. Yesu nakenjila kuli Ng'handa ya Nguluwi nakaluka kuwawinga wanhu wawele woguza na kugula vinhu amo. Nakagudula visaga vya wala wawele wovunza sendi, na wala wawele woguza ng'hunda.
16Nahamkundile munhu yoneche kukolela mijito kuli Ng'handa ya Nguluwi yaholile chinhu.
17Hamba nakawalangusa, “Yandichigwa kuli Maandiko Matakatifu, Nguluwi nakalonga, ‘Ng'handa ya heni yochemigwa ng'handa ya kulandila kwa chiwalo cha nhanzi zeng'ha.’ Ila hemwe muigalula iwa mhalika ya wabokaji!”
18Watambika wakulu na walangusa wa malajizo ga Musa lowahuliche ago, nawaluka kupala nzila ya kumkopola, ila nawamdumba kwa vila wanhu wenji nawabubuwala na malanguso ga heye.
19Loliswele, Yesu na walanguswa wa heye nawoka honhu hala.
20Mitondo kung'hali lufuku, nalowali wokola, nawalyona lila igodi lya mafuza nalikala ng'ong'ona lyeng'ha, mbaka mizabi.
21Petili nakakumbuchila gala nagakoleche, nakamlonjela Yesu, “Mlangusa, ulole lila igodi lya misada lyoulipanjile, vyolikalile.”
22Yesu nakawalonjela, “Muwe na makundo kwa Nguluwi.
23Ndanguwalonjelani ndikomya, munhu yochilonjela chidunda achi, ‘Ung'humbuche ukagwe kuli bahali,’ ne kona majesa mnhumbula ya heye, ila yokunda kota mbuli zeng'ha zoyolonga zokoleka, koditilwa mbuli ayo.
24Lelo ndanguwalonjelani, homumlanda chinhu Nguluwi, mkunde kota mchibochela, na hemwe mopegwa.
25Homumlanda Nguluwi, mumlechele chila munhu yawaditileni vibi, leka Mhaza wa hemwe yawele kilanga yawosele hemwe gehile gomditile.”
26“Ila wone hamlinguwalechela wanji, na Mhaza wa hemwe yawele kilanga howowosela hebu hemwe gehile genu gomditile.”
27Lelo nawafika kahi Yelusalemu. Yesu naloyali yojenda kuli Ng'handa ya Nguluwi, watambika wakulu na walangusa wa malajizo ga Musa na wasekulu wamlutila,
28nawamuuza, “Kwangudita mbuli zino kwa ludali lwachi? Yalikohi yakupele ludali lwa kukola mbuli azi?”
29Ila Yesu nakawalonjela, “Ndowauzani chinhu chimwe, lomkwidichila, nani kahi ndowalonjelani ndangudita mbuli azi kwa ludali lwachi.
30Ndaze, ludali lwa Yohani lwa kubatiza nalulawa kilanga ama kwa wanhu? Mnyidichile.”
31Nawaluka kiwuza hewo wawo, “Tolongaze? Hotulonga, nalulawa kilanga kotuuza, lelo lekachoni hamumkundile Yohani?
32Ila hotulonga, nalulawa kwa wanhu.” Nawadumba lung'hongola lwa wanhu wamemile kwa vila weng'ha nawakunda kota Yohani nayali mloli wa Nguluwi.
33Lelo nawamwidichila Yesu, “Hetwe hatuvizelele.” Na heye Yesu nakawalonjela, “Na heni siwalonjela ndangudita mbuli zino kwa ludali lwachi.”
