1 Yesu̱ na beegeseb̯wa baamwe, b̯ubaali heehi̱ kudwa mu rub̯uga lwa Yeru̱salemu̱, bei̱zi̱ri̱ badwereera mu kyaru kibeeta Bbesi̱faagi̱, ha Lusahu lwa Mi̱zayi̱tu̱u̱ni̱. B̯u̱baadoori̱ hahwo, Yesu̱ yaatuma beegeseb̯wa baamwe babiri 2 na bigambu bikukoba yati: “Mu̱gyende mu kyaru kibali mu mei̱so, mwakabba ni̱mu̱cakadwayo, mu̱kwi̱za kwagya ndogoyi̱ gibbohe, nigili na mwana gwagyo. Mu̱gyende muzaahule, muzindeetere. 3 Muntu yensei̱ yaakabab̯u̱u̱lya, mumuweere, ‘Mukama weetu̱ aku̱nzendya,’ yogwo muntu akwi̱za kumala gazibaha.” 4 Bibi byensei̱ byabbeeri̱ho ku̱doosereerya bigambu bya mu̱ragu̱ri̱ wa Ruhanga, munyakukoba yati:

10 Yesu̱ b̯u̱yei̱ngi̱i̱ri̱ mu Yeru̱salemu̱, bantu bensei̱ baahu̱gu̱teeni̱ baab̯u̱u̱lyangana, “Yogo yooyo naani?” 11 Bantu bei̱ri̱ri̱mwo nibakoba, “Yogo yooyo, mu̱ragu̱ri̱ wa Ruhanga, Yesu̱ Mu̱nazareeti̱ wa mwisaza lya Galilaaya.”

12 Hei̱nyu̱ma, Yesu̱ yei̱ngi̱i̱ri̱ mu zi̱gati̱ gya Yeekaru, yaatandika kubingamwo bantu bensei̱ banyakubba nibakutunda na kugula bintu. Yaaju̱u̱mu̱ki̱ri̱ meeza za bantu banyakubba ni̱baku̱hi̱ngi̱sya sente na ntebe za bab̯wo banyakubba nibakutunda makolome. 13 Mwomwo yaabaweera, “Kyahandi̱i̱ki̱i̱rwe nti, ‘Nnyu̱mba gyange gyetwanga nnyu̱mba gyakusabiramwo,’21:13 I̱saaya 56:7 bei̱tu̱ nywe mukugifoora kiikaru kya banyagi̱.”

14 Hei̱nyu̱ma, bei̱jalu̱ ba mei̱so na balima bei̱zi̱ri̱ hali Yesu̱ mu̱mwo mu Yeekaru, yaabahoni̱a. 15 Bei̱tu̱ bahandu̱ ba balaami̱ ba Ruhanga na beegesa ba biragiro b̯u̱baaweeni̱ byamahanu bya Yesu̱ bi̱yaakoori̱, na baana nibakwaluka mu̱mwo mu Yeekaru, “Hozaana Mwana wa Dau̱di̱,” baasaalirwa hoi̱.

16 Baamu̱b̯u̱u̱lya, “Bigambu bya bab̯wo baana bibaakukoba oku̱byegwa?”

Yesu̱ yaabei̱ri̱ri̱mwo, “Ee nku̱byegwa, nywe mucaalingi kusoma kinyakuhandiikwa kikukoba,

18 Kiro kya mwakya, b̯uyaali naakwi̱ra mu rub̯uga lwa Yeru̱salemu̱, Yesu̱ yeegwi̱ri̱ nzala nigikumudya. 19 B̯u̱yaaweeni̱ musaali gubeeta mu̱ti̱i̱ni̱ ha muhanda, yaahunguka ha gu̱gwo musaali, bei̱tu̱ atakaagyeho kyana kyensei̱ kutoolaho bikoora bya mu̱ti̱i̱ni̱ bisa. Mwomwo yaaguweera, “Otalyana byana biro byensei̱!” Nahahwo b̯ulohob̯uloho, gu̱gwo musaali gwamaari̱ gahotoka. 20 Beegeseb̯wa ba Yesu̱ b̯u̱baaweeni̱ ki̱kyo kintu, baahu̱ni̱ri̱i̱ri̱ hoi̱, baakoba, “Mu̱ti̱i̱ni̱ gu̱gwo gwahotoki̱ri̱ teetei̱ b̯wangu?” 21 Yesu̱ yaabei̱ri̱ri̱mwo naakoba, “Mu mananu nkubaweera nti, mwakabba nimuli nakwikiriza kandi mu̱tali na bicwocwo mu mitima myenyu̱, mulikora kwahi bi̱byo bisa binyakukorwa ha gu̱gwo musaali, bei̱tu̱ mulibba na maani ga kuweera lusahu lulu, ‘Gyenda, wegume mwi̱taka,’ kandi kwo kilikorwa. 22 B̯umwakabba nimuli na kwikiriza, ki̱kyo kyensei̱ kimwasabanga, mu̱kwi̱za kukitunganga.”

23 Yesu̱ yei̱ri̱ri̱ mu zi̱gati̱ gya Yeekaru, yaatandika kwegesya. B̯uyaali naakwegesya, bahandu̱ ba balaami̱ ba Ruhanga na bahandu̱ ba Bayudaaya bei̱za hali yo. Mwomwo baamu̱b̯u̱u̱lya, “B̯u̱sobozi̱ kyani b̯ukukuha kukora bibi bintu byensei̱? Kandi naani yaaku̱heeri̱ b̯u̱sobozi̱ b̯u̱b̯wo?” 24 Yesu̱ yaabei̱ri̱ri̱mwo naakoba, “Nagyade kambab̯u̱u̱lye kiki; mwakanzi̱ramwo, nagya nkwi̱za kubaweera b̯u̱sobozi̱ b̯umpa kukora bibi bintu. 25 B̯u̱sobozi̱ b̯unyakuha Yohaana kubatiza b̯waru̱gi̱ri̱ hanya? Ruhanga yooyo yaab̯u̱mu̱heeri̱ rundi bantu?” Mwomwo baatandika kubaza bankei na bankei nibakoba, “Twakakoba nti, ‘Ruhanga yooyo yaab̯u̱mu̱heeri̱,’ akwi̱za ku̱tu̱b̯u̱u̱lya, ‘Hab̯waki mu̱taamwi̱ki̱ri̱i̱ze?’ 26 Bei̱tu̱ b̯utwakakoba, ‘Bantu boobo bab̯u̱mu̱heeri̱,’ ki̱kyo ki̱ku̱u̱tu̱u̱ti̱i̱ni̱sya hab̯wakubba bantu bensei̱ beicala bananu̱ku̱ nti, Yohaana yaali mu̱ragu̱ri̱ wa Ruhanga.” 27 Kasi mwomwo baamwi̱ramwo nibakoba, “Ti̱twegi̱ri̱.” Na Yesu̱ yaabaweera, “Gyadede ti̱nkwi̱za kubaweera cali nyaatoori̱ b̯u̱sobozi̱ b̯umpa kukora bibi bintu.

28 “Kale hataati̱, mukuteekereza kyani ha kiki? Haalingiho mudulu munyakubba na batabani̱ babiri. Yaagyendi̱ri̱ yaaweera mu̱tabani̱ mu̱handu̱ yati, ‘Mwana wange, deeru lili gyenda okore mu musiri gwa mi̱zabbi̱bbu̱.’ 29 Mu̱tabani̱ yogwo yaamwi̱ramwo naakoba, ‘Nku̱gyendayo kwahi,’ bei̱tu̱ yeezi̱ramwo hei̱nyu̱ma, yaagyenda.”

30 “Mwomwo mudulu yogwo yaagyenda hali mu̱tabani̱ muto, yaamuweera nka ku̱yaaweereeri̱ mu̱tabani̱ mu̱handu̱. Kwandi kwa yogwo muto, ‘Kale bbaabba kangyende,’ bei̱tu̱ atakagyendeyo.”

31 “Mu bab̯wo batabani̱ babiri, alahi munyakukora kya bbaawe ki̱yendyengi̱?” Baamwi̱ri̱ri̱mwo nibakoba, “Mu̱handu̱.” Kasi mwomwo, Yesu̱ yaabaweera, “Mu mananu nkubaweera nti, basorooza misolo na bamalaaya bakwi̱za kubabanza kwingira mu b̯ukama b̯wa Ruhanga. 32 Hab̯wakubba Yohaana Mu̱bati̱zi̱ yei̱zi̱ri̱ hali nywe yaaboolokya muhanda gubalwa kubba ni̱gu̱si̱i̱mwa mu mei̱so ga Ruhanga, mutakamwikirize; bei̱tu̱ basorooza misolo na bamalaaya bo baamwi̱ki̱ri̱i̱ze. Bei̱tu̱ nywe, nab̯umwakabba mwaweeni̱ bi̱byo bintu, mu̱takeezi̱remwo kandi mutakeikirize bigambu byamwe.

33 “Mwegwe lugeera lundi: Haalingiho nyineeka munyakulima musiri gwamwe yaagusimbamwo mi̱zabbi̱bbu̱, yaata lugo lu̱gwelogoolye, yaatamwo inyunkiro lya maaci ga vi̱i̱no.

38 “Bei̱tu̱ bapangi̱sya bab̯wo b̯u̱baaweeni̱ mu̱tabani̱ waamwe, baaweerangana ‘Yogwo yooyo mugwete, mu̱leke tu̱mwi̱te aleke tutwale itungu lyamwe li̱lyo.’ 39 Nahab̯waki̱kyo baakweti̱ yogwo mu̱tabani̱, baamwi̱ta, baamukasuka hanzei wa musiri.

40 “Hati̱ b̯u̱b̯wo, mukama musiri b̯wali̱i̱za, bapangi̱sya bab̯wo alibakola ki?” 41 Bei̱ri̱ri̱mwo nibakoba, “Akwi̱za kwi̱ta bab̯wo banyagi̱, na gu̱gwo musiri ei̱re aguhe bapangi̱sya bandi, bakwi̱za kumuhanga itungu lyamwe lya mi̱zabbi̱bbu̱ mu kasu̱mi̱ kaamyo.”

42 Yesu̱ yaabaweera, “Mu mananu mwegi̱ri̱ Binyakuhandiikwa nka kubikukoba,
