1 Yesu na walanguswa wa heye lowafichile behi na Yelusalemu wafichile Betifage kuli chidunda cha Mizeituni, nakawalajiza walanguswa wa heye weli, 2 nakawalonjela, “Mlute mbaka hali chijiji chiwele kumwando kwa hemwe molifika idogowi na mwana idogowi liwohigwe. Jichumuleni mujigale kwa heni. 3 Wone munhu yawauze chiwalo, mumlonjele ‘Mkulu kangujigana,’ Na heye kowalechelani baho.” 4 Mbuli ino na ikoleka leka gala galonjigwe na mloli wa Nguluwi genele,

6 Ahyo, wala walanguswa nawadita kota Yesu vyoyawalajize. 7 Waligala lila idogowi na mwanage, watambalika nguwo za hewo mchanya hao na Yesu kekalisa mchanya mwake. 8 Lung'hongola lwa wanhu nawazanza nguwo zawo mbalabala, na wanji watema miputi ja migodi wanzanza mbalabala. 9 Lung'hongola lwa wanhu walongole na wala walingumuwinza wakwiniza lizi.

10 Yesu loyaliyokwinjila Yelusalemu, muji weng'ha naumema luchenze. Wanhu wali wouza, “Ayu ka whaani?” 11 Wanhu kuli lula lung'hongola lwa wanhu walonga, “Ayu ndo Yesu mloli wa Nguluwi, kangulawa Nasaleti isi ya Galilaya.”

12 Lelo Yesu nakenjila mli Ng'handa ya Nguluwi, kawawinga wanhu kunze wali woguza na kugula vinhu mgati mwa ng'handa ya Nguluwi. Kagudula visaga vya wala wali wovunza sendi, kagudula vigoda vya wala wali woguza ng'hunda. 13 Kawalonjela, “Yandichigwa kuli Maandiko Matakatifu, ‘Ng'handa ya heni yochemigwa ng'handa ya kulandila.’ Ila hemwe muigalula iwa mhalika ya wabokaji!”

14 Wawele hambe walole na waziliche ng'huli nawamlutila kuko kuli Ng'handa ya Nguluwi, na heye kawalohola. 15 Lelo watambika wakulu na walangusa wa malajizo ga Musa nawazudila lowawene vinduzanduza vyoyaditile Yesu, na kahi wana lowali wochemelela kuli Ng'handa ya Nguluwi wolonga, “Lutogo kwa Mwana wa Daudi.” 16 Ahyo wamlonjela, “Ndaze, hulinguhulika chowolonga?” Yesu nakawedichile, “Ena, ndanguhulika! Ndaze, hamnasoma Maandiko aga?

17 Leka, kawaleka, kalawa kunze ya muji wa Betaniya, nakuwasa kuko.

18 Yesu loyali yohiluka kuli muji lokuwele kung'hali lufuku, nakona nzala. 19 Nakalyona igodi limwe lya misada hafungo mwa nzila, kalilutila, ila kalifika lilihela mafuza goneche leka mahamba yeka. Lelo kalilonjela, “Uleche kulela kahi mafuza mazuwa gose!” Baho alyo igodi lya misada naliswina. 20 Walanguswa lowawene wabubuwala wolonga, “Lekachoni igodi ali lya misada liswina baho du?” 21 Yesu nakawedichila, “Ndanguwalonjelani ndikomya, wone muwe na makundo ne kuwa na majesa, moweza kudita vyonditile kuli lila igodi lya misada, leka nawone mchilonjele chidunda chino, ‘Ung'humbuche ukagwe kuli bahali,’ Yokoleka hihyo. 22 Na muwe na makundo, choneche chomumlanda Nguluwi mopegwa.”

23 Yesu nakenjila mli Ng'handa ya Nguluwi, kawa yolangusa. Loyali yolangusa, watambika wakulu na wasekelu wa wanhu wamuuza, “Kwangudita mbuli zino kwa ludali lwachi? Yalikohi yakupele ludali luno?”

24 Yesu kawedichila, “Na heni ndowauzani chinhu chimwe, lomkwidichila, leka nani ndowalonjelani ndangudita mbuli azi kwa ludali lwachi. 25 Ndanguwauza mndonjele, ndaze, ludali lwa Yohani lwa kubatiza nalulawa kwa whaani? Ndaze, nalulawa kwa Nguluwi ama kwa wanhu?” Ila naweuza hewo kwa hewo hino, “Hotulonga, ‘Naulawa kilanga, kotuuza, Lelo lekachoni hamumkundile?’ 26 Ila hotulonga, ‘Nalulawa kwa wanhu,’ Twangudumba wanhu wamemile mina hewo weng'ha wangukunda kota Yohani ndo mloli wa Nguluwi.” 27 Lelo nawamwidichila, “Hatuvizelele!” Na heye Yesu nakawalonjela, “Na heni kahi siwalonjela ndangudita mbuli zino kwa ludali lwachi.

28 “Hemwe mwangijesa ndaze kwa mbuli ayi, kwali na munhu yumwe nayali na wana weli. Nakamlonjela yula wa mwaluko, ‘Mwanangu, lehano ulute ukadite mijito kuli mgunda wa zabibu.’ 29 Yula msongolo nakamlonjela, ‘Ndema!’ Hamba kagalusa kaluta kumgunda. 30 Yula mhaza nakamlonjela mwana wa keli hiho, na heye kedichila, ‘Ena mhaza ndoluta!’ Ila halutile kukola mijito. 31 Ndaze, yalikohi kuli awa weli yaditile kota vyoyaganile mhaza wa heye?” Wamwidichila, “Ayula wa mwaluko.”

Lelo Yesu kawalonjela, “Ndanguwalonjelani ndikomya, wakongoza sendi na wahonzolomo wokwinjila kuli Undewa wa Nguluwi kusinda hemwe. 32 Yohani na koya kwa hemwe kawalajila nzila inojile ya ukomu, na hemwe hamumkundile, ila wakongoza sendi na wahonzolomo nawamkunda. Nahomuwene ago geng'ha hemwe mlema ne kumfugamila na kumkunda.”

33 Yesu kalonga, “Hulichizeni nhelo yinji. Munhu yumwe yawele na ng'handa nakalima mgunda wa zabibu, nakazungulusila lugagala, kabawa ideho lya kukamila divai, kazenga mumo mnala kahi. Hamba nakawabasila walimi, heye koka nakaheluka isi ya kutali. 34 Mhela wa kubeta loufichile, nakawalajiza vitumagwa kwa wala wanhu wakahole chasi cha mbena ya heye. 35 Wala wanhu wawebata awo vitumagwa, yumwe wamsubula, yunji wamkopola na yunji wamtowa na maganga. 36 Ayo munhu nakawalajiza vitumagwa wanji, wenji kupuluta wala wa mwaluko. Wala wanhu wawaditila hihila. 37 Vyokudumile kamlajiza mwanagme aku yochijesa, ‘Womhulichiza mwana wa heni.’ 38 Ila wala wanhu lowamuwene mwanage walonga hewo kwa hewo, ‘Ayu ndo yohalila, tumkopole leka tuhole uhalizi wa heye!’ 39 Leka, wamibata, wamlavya kunze ya ula mgunda wa zabibu, wamkopola.

40 “Yesu nakawauza lelo, ayo yawele na mgunda wa zabibu loyokuya, kowadita ndaze awo wanhu?” 41 Hewo wamwidichila, “Kowabagamiza vibi awo wehile,” “Na ula mgunda wa zabibu kowapa walimi wanji wowa wompa chasi cha mbena mhela wake.”

42 Aho Yesu kawalonjela, “Ndaze, hamsomile mbuli ino kuli Maandiko Matakatifu?

43 “Yesu nakonjezela kulonga,” Ahyo ndanguwalonjelani, “Undewa wa Nguluwi wokusigwa kwa hemwe na kupegwa wanhu hawawele Wayahudi walingulavya mafuza ganojile. 44 Yoneche yogwa mchanya mwa iganga alyo kobeneka pasapasa, na wone iganga limgwile munhu yoneche, lyomhondanga.”

45 Watambika wakulu na Mafalisayo lowahuliche azo nhelo za heye kanguwalonga hewo. 46 Lelo wali wopala chinhu cha kumibata, ila nawaliwodumba wanhu kwa vila hewo nawavizela heye Yesu nayali mloli wa Nguluwi.
