1Yesu na wanahina zake viwavikile Yelusalemu, wachola Betifage kuna Ulugongo lwa Mizeituni. Baho kawatuma wanahina zake wabili wamulongolele,
2kawalongela, “Gendeni kuna ikijiji kili kuulongozi wenu, aho momvika mhunda kafungigwa na mwanage kumgwazo. Wafunguleni mungalile hano.
3Munhu yoyose yahawauza, mulongeleni, Mndewa kowalonda, nayo kowaleka wachole.”
4Gano gatendeka muladi kiyalongile mtula ndagu wa Mulungu kilawilile,
5“Dilongele buga da Sayuni, Lola, mndewa wako kokwiza! Muhole na kakwela mhunda na mwanage mhunda.”
6Avo wanahina wachola watenda vivija viyawalongele Yesu watende.
7Wamgala ija imhunda na mwanage, watandika viwalo vao mmigongo wa waja iwamhunda, na Yesu kakwela uchanha.
8Lunhu lwa wanhu lwanzanza viwalo vao mnzila kuno wayagwe wabena mibunho na kuyanzanza mnzila muladi yabite.
9Wanhu wakalile kukisogo na kuulongozi wa Yesu wakemelela, “Yatogoligwe mwana wa Daudi! Mulungu yamtambikile ija yokwiza kwa twaga da Mndewa! Mulungu yatogoligwe!”
10Yesu viyengile Yelusalemu, wanhu wose wa kudibuga wading'huka na waiuza, “Ino ayo nani?”
11Lunhu lwa wanhu lwidika, “Ino ayo Yesu, mtula ndagu wa Mulungu kolawa Nazaleti mwiisi ya Galilaya,”
12Yesu kengila Mng'anda ya Mulungu, kawawinga wanhu wose wakalile wogula na kuchuuza vinhu. Kazibidula meza za wanhu wakalile wovunja sente na vigoda va wanhu wakalile wochuuza njiwa.
13Kawalongela, “Yandikigwa mna Gamaandiko Gang'alile, ‘Ng'anda yangu yokuwa kae ya kupulila.’ Lakini moitenda mhango ya wabavi!”
14Wasuwameso na wanhu mbetembete wamcholela Yesu kuna Ing'anda ya Mulungu, nayo kawahonya.
15Wakulu wa walava nhosa na wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa wagevuzika viwonile mbuli za unzonza ziyakalile yotenda Yesu na wana viwakalile wokemelela Mng'anda ya Mulungu, “Yatogoligwe Mwana wa Daudi!”
16Avo wamuuza Yesu, “Vino kohulika viwolonga wana wano?” Yesu kawedika, “Mhulika, hamugasomile gaja Gamaandiko Gang'alile golonga, ‘Muwafundiza wana na ving'hele kulava nhogolwa inogile.’ ”
17Yesu kawaleka na kachola Betania kunze ya buga, kawasa kuko.
18Imitootondo, Yesu viyakalile kobwela mna idibuga, kakala na nzala.
19Behi na nzila kawona mbiki wa mtini kaucholela, yalole kamba kodaha kupata tunda jojose, lakini honile kinhu ila majani gaiyeka. Avo kaulongela, “Sekeulele matunda ng'o!” Bahaja mbiki awo unyala gogodaa.
20Wanahina zake viwonile avo wakanganya ng'hani, waiuza, “Habali mbiki uno wa mtini unyala himahima?”
21Yesu kawedika, “Nowalongeleni ukweli kamba mwahatogola na kuleka kunyawanyawa, modaha kutenda kamba kija kinitendile kwa mbiki uno wa mtini. Siyo kino kiiyeka, lakini modaha kukilongela kigongo kino, ‘Ng'oka ukayase mbahali,’ na yokuwa vivo.
22Kamba mwahatogola, mobokela chochose chonda mupule.”
23Yesu kengila Mng'anda ya Mulungu, na viyakalile kofundiza, wakulu wa walava nhosa na wavele wamwizila wamuuza, “Vino kotenda gano gose kwa udahi wa nani? Nani yakugwelele udahi uno wa kutenda gano?”
24Yesu kawedika, “Nowauza mbuli imoja munilongele, na niye nowalongeleni kwa udahi wa nani notenda gano.
25Nongeleni, vino udahi wa Yohana wa kubatiza ulawa kwahi? Ulawa kwa Mulungu hebu ulawa kwa wanhu?” Wasonga kuilongela, “Twahalonga ulawa kwa Mulungu, kotuuza, ‘Habali hamumtogole Yohana?’
26Lakini twahalonga, ‘Ulawa kwa wanhu,’ towadumba wanhu kwavija wose wamtogola Yohana kamba mtula ndagu wa Mulungu.”
27Avo wamwidika Yesu, “Hatujuwile.” Abaho Yesu kawalongela, “Na niye siwalongela bule notenda gano kwa udahi wa nani.”
28“Mweye mogesaze? Munhu imoja kakala na wana wabili, kachola kwa ija mwana imkulu kamulongela, ‘Mwanangu, lelo chola ukasang'hane kumgunda wa mizabibu.’
29Nayo kamwidika, ‘Sichola bule.’ Lakini kumwande kidogo kagimbula na kuchola.
30Abaho tata ija kachola kwa mwana iyagwe kamulongela mbuli iija. Nayo kamwidika, ‘Ona tata nochola,’ lakini hacholile bule.
31Avo nani mna iwana waja wabili yatendile kija kiyalondile tatao?” Wamwidika, “Ija mwana imkulu.” Avo Yesu kawalongela, “Nowalongeleni wabokela kodi na wagoni wowalongolela kwingila mna Undewa wa Mulungu.
32Kwavija Yohana Mbatizaji keza kuwalagusila nzila inogile, na mweye hamumtogole lakini wabokela kodi na wagoni wamtogola. Vivija na mweye vimonile avo, hamulekile nzambi zenu na kumtogola.”
33Yesu kalonga, “Tegelezeni lusimo luyagwe, kukala na munhu imoja mwene mgunda kahanda mizabibu mumgunda wake, kazungulusila lwigo, kahimba hanhu ha kukamila zabibu, kazenga lingo na kawakodisha walimaji. Abaho kafunga mwanza kachola isi ya kutali.
34Msimu wa kubawa zabibu viuvikile, kawatuma wasang'hanaji zake kwa waja walimaji wamgalile zabibu kulawa mumgunda wake.
35Walimaji waja wawagoga wasang'hanaji awo, imoja wamtowa, iyagwe wamkoma, na iyagwe wamtowa mabwe.
36Kawatuma kabili wasang'hanaji wayagwe, wengi kubanza waja waichanduso, walimaji awo wawatendela vivija.
37Kukimambukizo kamtuma mwanage, kalonga, ‘Ino womtegeleza kwavija mwanangu.’
38Lakini walimaji viwamonile mwanage, wailongela, ‘Ino ayo muhazi lekeni tumkome na tusole uhazi wake!’
39Avo wamgoga na wamwasa kunze ya umgunda na wamkoma.”
40Yesu kawauza, “Vino munhu mwene mgunda yaheza kowatenda choni waja walimaji?”
41Wamwidika, “Kowakoma walimaji wose wehile na kowakodisha wanhu wayagwe mgunda awo, nao womgolela zabibu mumsimu wa kubawa zabibu.”
42Yesu kawalongela, “Hamusomile mna Gamaandiko Gang'alile, ‘Dibwe wadilemile wazengaji, sambi digalamuka dibwe kulu kubanza gose. Mbuli ino itendigwa na Mndewa nayo yotukanganya.’ ”
43Yesu kengeza kulonga, “Avo nowalongeleni ukweli, Undewa wa Mulungu wobokigwa kumwenu na wogweleligwa wanhu wolela matunda ganogile.
44Munhu yoyose yonda yaikwale mdibwe ajo kobeneka beneka na munhu donda dimulagalile domuhonda tipitipi.”
45Wakulu wa walava nhosa na Mafalisayo viwahulike simo azo wajuwa kamba kakala kowalonga hewo.
46Avo wazahila nzila ya kumgogela, lakini waludumba lunhu lwa wanhu, kwavija wamtogola Yesu kakala mtula ndagu wa Mulungu.
