1 Vaatameria aya Uyerusalemu, ahophiya iwani cho Ubetifage ni Ubethaniya, nkayaarwaacha waatamana Mwaako wo Mizeituni. Vavawo Yesu nkaaruma owiittucha awe elhi uholhelha 2 aalheheraka wiira, “Rwaakani yeyo iwani iri uholho iyo. Wowo nnokomphwanya mwaaphuta nattukelhelhiye hineetihiya ni ntu. Mwanthaphulheke ni ummwiiha vaa. 3 Ntu riyoothe okohakani ‘nlhatu waani’ mwaakhulheke wiira, ‘Athithi phi nonthanana, anonhokolhosha chitema.’ ”

4 Nkayaarwaa ni umphwanya mwaaphuta nattukelhelhiye vanlhakoni. Vanthaphulha aya 5 ashinene nkayaakohacha, “Chani woonaka nnothaphulha mwaaphuta uyo?” 6 Ni ayo nkayaakhulha eeraka thoko cheetuchihiye aya ni Yesu, ashinene ayo, nkayaahiyera. 7 Nkayanrwehelha Yesu mwaaphuta uyo, nkayaathalhacha ikuwo chaya vanthanani uno Yesu akhalhaka vachulhu vawo. 8 Attu enchi, nkayaathalhacha ikuwo mphironi akina athalhaka maphumbulhu o miri yaatupunlhanche aya mmamatani ni waathalhacha mphironi mwaavira awe. 9 Attu aaholhenlhe ni alhe aattwara utulhi nkayaakhuwelha eeraka, “Hosana, atotopelhiye uyo nowa wo nchina na Athithi uyo! 10 Uvahiye ibarakha umwene unowehereriya wa athumwanihu Amwene Adaudi, Atotopelhiye Nlhuku wiirimu!”

11 Yesu nkaaphiya Uyerusalemu, nkaarwa mpaka Inupa ya Nlhuku, nkaawehaweha chittu chonkhaye. Nansho ukhalhawaya waheelha, nkaarwa Ubethaniya vamoka ni owiittucha awe khumi ni elhi.

12 Nihuku no nayelhi, vaakhuma aya Ubethaniya, Yesu aari nawolhiye ithalha. 13 Nkoona utayi mwiri wo ntini unaphuwilhe, nkaachushera awehe yakhalhaka uhemma arukulhe ittini alhie. Nansho aphiyeke khoonne ittu ahikhalhe mathaakhururu, ukhalhawaya waari uhinemma. 14 Yesu nkaalhava mwiri wo ntiini uyo eeraka, “Khaawo ntu nohalha ulhia ittini chinyu tho mahuku onkhaye!” Owiittucha awe nkayeewa voolhumacha awe.

15 Vaaphilhe aya Uyerusalemu, Yesu nkaarwa u Inupa ya Nlhuku yulhupalhe, nkoomolhelha vathe attu onkhaye yaathumiha chittu ni ayo yaathuma. Nkaapitingushacha imeza cha attu yaakakanihana nchurukhu, ni ihiche cha attu othumiha ikhunda, 16 ahinhiyereraka ntu riyoothe ukusha ittu u Inupa ya Nlhuku mmo. 17 Yamalhekeru, nkaachokholha weettuchiha attu, “Malhove Matakatifu aneera, Nlhuku hohimia wiira, ‘Inupa aka inowa wiihaniya inupa yo ulhapelha ya attu o makosho onkhaye.’ Nansho mwaattiva nhorukunusha ni upanga nikhuku no attu o uvara makhuche!”

18 Opochera ishaani olhupalhe ni owiittuchiha Malhehero veewilhe aya, nkayaachokholhacha waavia iphiro yo umwiivelha Yesu. Nansho yaari amwoovaka, ukhalhawaya milhoko chonkhaye cha attu chaahanlhe muushangani wo meettuchiho awe.

19 Uchechilho, Yesu ni owiittucha awe nkayaathamacha vawani vawo.

20 Wichishuru, vaari aya aviraka mphironi, nkayoona mwiri wo ntiini. Waari unoomilhe uchulhu mpaka vanteponi. 21 Napeturo nkayoopuwelha ni umwiirelha Yesu, “Owiittuchiha mwooneke! Mwiri wo ntiini waalhanve inyu ulhe uhooma!”

22 Yesu nkaakhulha eeraka, “Mpisheke nrima, munkhulhuvelheke Nlhuku. 23 Kinouhimeriani wo ikekhiaye wiira ntu erelhaka ulha mwaako ulha uthame waatitiminre ubaharini, wo nrima wo uhiri ni nipampa, wiira inowooria, inowooriacha. 24 Paahi etu kinouhimeriani wiira, vanolhapelha inyu ni uvekelha chittu chiri choothe, nrumelhelheke wiira nnoopochera, ni inyu nnoovahiya. 25 Vaneemelha inyu ulhapelha, nchokholheke thoko uhiyerera milhatu cha attu ottekenlheni ni Athumwaninyu ari wiirimu anouhiyererani milhatu chinyu. 26 Nansho mwaahahiyerereke akina milhatu chaya, Athumwaninyu o wiirimu khanouhiyererani ni inyu uwonya winyu.”

27 Nkayaawa tho Uyerusalemu. Yesu veetakacha awe Inupa ya Nlhuku, opochera ishaani olhupalhe ni owiittuchiha Malhehero ni ashulhupalhe nkayanrwelha 28 nkayankoha yeeraka, “Nrina ikuru yaani yo upanga chilha chinopanga inyu chilha? Apani ovanheni ikuru yo upangacha?”

29 Yesu nkaakhulha eeraka, “Kinoukohani ittu imoka, mwakaakhulhaka, kinouhimeriani kinopanga chi wo ikuru yaani. 30 Nkihimerieke, ikuru yaapanga aya Nayohana, yo waabatiiza attu, yaakhumme uyi, yaakhumme wa Nlhuku wiirimu ama wa attu?”

31 Nkayaachokholha ukohanacha ashineneru, “Nimwaakhulheke chani? Neeraka wiira ‘yaakhumme wa Nlhuku wiirimu’ noonikoha woonaka mwaattiva khamwaarumelhelha Nayohana ayo? 32 Ni vavawo wo ikekhiaye neeraka, ‘Yaakhumme wa attuni.’ ” Nkayoova attu, ukhalhawaya attu onkhaye aachuwelha wiira Nayohana aari anamilhohi. 33 Paahi etu nkayaamwaakhulha Yesu wiira, “Hii khanichuwenlhe.” Yesu nkeera, “Ni mii akinouhimeriani kinopanga chi wo ikuru yo ukhuma uuyi.”
