1 Mpobalashika pepi ku Yelusalemu, balashika nanshi ku Betifage ku mulundu wa maolifi, Yesu walatuma beshikwiya bakendi babili, 2 ne kubambileti, “Kamuyani mu munshi uwu ngomulabononga pantangu apa, mwaya mwengila, nimucane mbongolo wasungililwa pamo ne mwanendi, mu basungulule mubalete kuno.” 3 Na muntu amwipushe, mumwambileti, “Mwami labayandanga, apwisha kubasebensesha nabalete.”

4 “Ici calenshika kwambeti maswi alamba mushinshimi akwanilishiwe, akwambeti,

6 Popelapo beshikwiya balensa mbuli Yesu ncalabambila. 7 Balaleta mbongolo pamo ne mwanendi, balayansa bikwisa pamusana pa mwanambongolo, uyo ngwalatantapo Yesu. 8 Bantu bangi balayansa bikwisa munshila, nabambi balakwakula misampi yabitondo ne kwiyansa munshila. 9 Bantu bangi balikuba pantangu ne balikuba panyuma, balatatika kubilikisheti, “Hosana kuli Mwanendi Dafeti. Walelekwa uyo lesanga mu Lina lya Lesa, Hosana kuli Lesa wakwilu ku Mayoba.”

10 Yesu mpwalengila mu Yelusalemu, bantu bonse balakankamana, nabambi balikabepusheti, “Anu uyu niyani?” 11 Bantu bangi balakumbuleti, “Uyu emushinshimi, Yesu waku Nasaleti, mucishi ca Galileya.”

12 Yesu walengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa,ne kutandanyamo bantu bonse balikulisha ne kula. Walawishila panshi matebulu ngobalikulishilapo beshikushintanisha mali, ne bipuna bya beshikulisha nkulimba, 13 Walabambileti, “Mabala alambangeti, ‘Ng'anda yakame nikabe yakupaililamo,’ Nomba amwe mulaisandulu kuba mwakuyubila bakabwalala.”

14 Popelapo balema ne bashipilwa balesa kuli Yesu mu Ng'anda ya Lesa mopelemo, nendi walabasengula. 15 Bamakulene beshimilumbo ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose, mpobalabona byeshikukondwelesha mbyalensa kayi ne kunyumfwa batwanike mu ng'anda ya Lesa kababilikisheti, “Hosana kuli Mwanendi Dafeti,” Calabepila mu moyo. 16 Neco, Yesu balamwipusheti, “Sena mulanyumfunga mbyobalambanga batwanike aba?” Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Ee, kanshi nkamuna mubelengapo Maswi alambangeti Lesa walabambilalimo batwanike ne bakateta kwambeti nibakamutembaule kwakupwililila?” 17 Popelapo Yesu walabashiya, ne kuya ku Betani nkwalakona.

18 Mpobwalaca mumene mene, Yesu mpwalikubwelela ku Yelusalemu walanyumfwa nsala. 19 Mpwalabona citondo ca mukuyu pepi ne nshila, walayapo, nomba walacana kacikutowa matewu. Popelapo walacambila citondo camukuyu, “citondobe, kufuma lelo nteti ukasemepo bisepo sobwe.” Cindi copeleco citondo camukuyu cisa calayuma nta. 20 Beshikwiya mpobalaboneco balakankamana balamwipusha Yesu, “Inga citondo ca mukuyu ici cilafwambaneconi kuyuma?” 21 Yesu walakumbuleti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti na lushomo lwenu ntelo lwakutonshanya nimukacikonshenga kwinsa mbuli ncondenshili citondo ca mukuyu ici. Nteconkeco sobwe, nsombi na muwambila mulundu uwu, kwambeti, ‘Fuma apa, koya uliwale mu lwenje, mpaka nicikenshike.’ 22 Na mupaila ne lushomo ciliconse nceti mukasenge nimukapewe.”

23 Cindi Yesu ncalengila mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne kutatika kwiyisha, bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, balesa kumwipusheti, “Mwalashifunya kupeyo ngofu shakwinsa cisa? Niyani walamupa ngofu ishi?” 24 Nendi Yesu walabakumbuleti, “ne njame nindimwipushe mwipusho umo, mwankumbula, bacu, nindimwambile nkondalafunya ngofu shakwinsa cisa. 25 Kwambeti Yohane abatishenga, ngofu walashifunya kupeyo, kuli Lesa nambi kubantu?” Balo balatatika kutotekeshana pa lwabo bene, “Natukumbuleti walashifunya kuli Lesa, nendi nambeti, inga mwalabulila cani kumushoma? 26 Nomba kayi natukumbuleti walashifunya kubantu, bantu nteti batulekepo sobwe, pakwinga balambangeti, Yohane nimushinshimi.” 27 Neco balamukumbuleti, “Afwe nkatucishipo sobwe.” Nendi walambeti, “Anu ne njame nteti ndimwambilepo sobwe nkondalashicana ngofu shakwinsa cisa.”

28 “Amwe ngamuyeyapo aconi? Muntu naumbi walikukute bana batuloba babili. Walaya kumwanendi mukulene ne kumwambileti, ‘Mwaname, koya lelo usebense kumabala.’ 29 Walakumbuleti ‘Sobwe nkasuni,’ Nsombi panyuma pakendi walalitibuka, walaya ku mabala kuya kusebensa. 30 Baishi balaya kumwanabo kanike ne kumwambila maswi amo amo ngobalambila mwanabo mukulene. Nendi walambeti, ‘Ndanyumfu ta, ndenga kusebensa.’ Nsombi uliya kuyako. 31 Pa bana babili aba walensa ncobalikuyanda baishi nupeyo?”

Balo balambeti, “wakutanguna usa.” Yesu walabambileti, “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, beshikusonkesha misonko ne batukashi bapombo balengilinga mu Bwami bwa Lesa, amwe kamutana. 32 Yohane Mubatishi walesa kumulesha nshila yabululami, amwe muliya kushoma sobwe, kakuli beshikusonkesha misonko, ne batukashi bapombo balo balamushoma, Amwe nambi mwalabibona, muliya kulitibuka kwambeti mumushome.”

33 Yesu walambeti, “Kamunyumfwani mukoshanyo naumbi, Muntu naumbi walikukute libala. Mulibalo'mo walabyalamo minyansa, walebaka luba kushinguluka libala lyonse, walaimba cisengu mwakutyanina minyansa, walaibaka lupingwe lwa kupembelelapo libala. Panyuma pakendi walalibwelekesha libala lisa ku balimi, nendi walaya bulwendo kucishi cimbi. 34 Cindi cakutebula mpocalashika, muntu usa walatuma basebenshi bakendi ku balimi basa, kwambeti bamupeko bisepo bya mulibala lisa. 35 Nomba balimi basa balabekata basebenshi basa, umo balamuma, naumbi balamushina, naumbi balamupwaya mabwe. 36 Muntu usa walatumako basebenshi nabambi bangi kupita basa bakutanguna. Kayi balimi basa balabensa cimo cimo. 37 Kumapwililisho balimi basa walabatumina Mwanendi, ne kwambeti, ‘Mwaname uyu enka nibenga bamupe bulemu.’ 38 Nomba balimi basa mpobalamubona Mwanendi usa, balatatika kumufwiya, kabambeti, ‘uyu eshakapyane buboni bonse. Tiyeni tumushine kwambeti buboni ubu bukabe bwetu.’ 39 Neco balamwikata, nekumuwala kunsa kwa libala ne kumushina.” 40 “Inga mwine libala lisa lya minyansa akesa nakabenseconi balimi basa?” 41 Balo balakumbuleti, “Nakabashine balimi baipa basa, ne kulibwelekesha libala lisa kubalimi nabambi belela kumupako bisepo pacindi cakendi celela.” 42 Yesu walabepusheti, “Sena muliya kubelengapo Mabala alambangeti, ‘Libwe lyacandanshi ndyobalakana beshikwibaka,’ Elilaba libwe lya nkokola ya ng'anda lilayandikinga? Lesa mwine ewalacinseci, kayi cilatukankamanishi kucibona.” 43 Encondamwambililingeti, “Bwami bwa Lesa, nibukalamunwe kulinjamwe ne kubupa bantu bambi abo belela kusema bisepo.” 44 Uliyense eshakawile palibwe ili, nakapasauke pasauke. Uyo ngoshi likamuwile, nendi nakashanyaukilelimo. 45 Bamakulene beshimilumbo, ne Bafalisi mpobalanyumfwa mikoshanyo njalikwamba Yesu, balenshibeti wambangendibo. 46 Neco balayanda kumwikata nsombi balatina bantu, pakwinga bantu bangi balikuba bashometi, Yesu nimushinshimi.
