1 Obu Yesu na beeghesebuwa be baaneebingagha Yelusaalemu, baaki̱dha mu mu̱bhi̱li̱ ghwa Bbetaniya na ghwa Bbeti̱faage, haa mwena Oli̱va. Niibuwo aatu̱mi̱ye babili mu beeghesebuwa be, 2 aabaghila ati, “Mughende mu mu̱bhi̱li̱ oghu tuli haai ku̱ki̱dhamu oghu, mukuba makaghu̱ki̱dhamu du̱mbi̱ mukusanga kyana kya ndogooi̱ eki muntu atakani̱i̱naghʼo, mukisambuule, mukindeetele. 3 Muntu naababu̱u̱i̱ye ati, ‘Mukukisambuula nangaaki?’ Mumughile muti, ‘Mukama wakiyo akukibbala, ti̱ aku̱ki̱ku̱u̱ki̱ya bwangu.’ ” 4 Beeghesebuwa babili aba baaghenda, baasanga kyana kya ndogooi̱ baki̱bohi̱ye haai-haai nʼelembo, haakpengbu̱ ya luguudhe. Mbanakisambuula, 5 bamui mu bantu abaabaagha baamiliiyʼo baababu̱u̱li̱ya bati, “Mukusambuula kyana kya ndogooi̱ eki nangaaki?” 6 Baabaghambila ebi Yesu aabaghambiiye, niibuwo bantu aba baasi̱i̱mi̱lani̱i̱ye beeghesebuwa aba kukitwala. 7 Obu baaki̱ki̱dhi̱i̱ye hambali Yesu ali, baala bimui haa bi̱lu̱walo byabo haa mughongo ghwakiyo, aani̱i̱na, aasitamʼo. 8 Bantu bakani̱ye beehiyamu bimui haa bi̱lu̱walo byabo, na banji baajomba bi̱kongu̱bho mu misili mu maahaai-haai, baabyala hansi mu luguudhe hambali akusaalila.*11:8 Bayu̱daaya baalagha hansi mu luguudhe bi̱lu̱walo na bi̱kongu̱bho kwebali̱ya muntu oghu bahu̱ti̱i̱ye. 9 Bantu abaaghendi̱ye hamui naye banji bamuhikiiye, banji bamu̱ti̱ghaaye enu̱ma, baatandika kugola bati, “Ooyee!†11:9 Mu Lu̱gi̱li̱ki̱ baghambi̱ye Hosaana! Ekikumani̱i̱si̱ya, Mukama otujune! Ali na mu̱gi̱sa oni oghu aasi̱ye mu li̱i̱na lya Mukama!*11:9 Jabbu̱li̱ 118:25-26 10 Luhanga aahaaye mu̱gi̱sa bukama bwa taata waatu Dhau̱dhi̱ obulimatodha kubʼo! Ooyee! Asi̱i̱mu̱we Mukama wa eghulu munu!”

11 Obu Yesu aataahi̱ye mu kibugha kya Yelusaalemu, aaghenda mu Numba ya Luhanga, aalola ngoku bintu bili. Bhaatu ngoku bwali mbwahi̱ki̱ye lwagholo, aaghenda Bbetaniya na beeghesebuwa be eku̱mi̱ na babili.

12 Nkyambisi ya kilo ekyalabhi̱yo, obu baanalu̱ghagha mu mu̱bhi̱li̱ ghwa Bbetaniya, njala yaamukwata. 13 Makakuba ati li̱i̱so, aabona haakpengbu̱ nga hali̱ bibabi bya kiti mu̱ti̱i̱ni̱. Aakyebinga kulola kilakaba kyani̱yʼo bi̱ghu̱ma. Bhaatu obu aahi̱ki̱ye mu nti̱na ya kiyo, aasanga haa kiti eki haliyo bibabi byonkaha, nanga bukaba butali bwile bwa biti mi̱ti̱i̱ni̱ kwana bi̱ghu̱ma. 14 Niibuwo aaghi̱li̱ye kiti eki ati, “Muntu atalitodha kukuliyʼo ki̱ghu̱ma na kimui.” Beeghesebuwa be baaghu̱wa bighambo ebi.

15 Obu Yesu na beeghesebuwa be baatodhi̱ye ku̱ki̱dha mu kibugha kya Yelusaalemu, aaghenda mu Numba ya Luhanga. Aatandika kubhingamu abaaghu̱li̱li̱yaghamu nʼabaaghulilaghamu. Aatu̱li̱kanga meeja syʼabaahi̱ngi̱i̱si̱yagha sente. Kandi aakubakaka ntebe syʼabaaghu̱li̱yagha bi̱i̱bbi̱mbo bya kuhonga. 16 Taasi̱i̱mi̱lani̱i̱ye muntu nʼomui oghu aheeki̱ye kintu kyona kusaalila nakiyo mu Numba ya Luhanga. 17 Niibuwo aabeegheeseei̱ye ati, “Kihandi̱i̱ku̱u̱we ngu, ‘Numba yanje balaghighilaghamu numba ya kusabilamu ya bantu baa mahanga ghoona,’*11:17 I̱saaya 56:7 bhaatu enu̱we mwaghifooye ki̱i̱kalo kya basuma.” 18 Obu bakulu baa bahongi̱ na beegheesi̱ya baa bilaghilo baaghu̱u̱ye eki aakoli̱ye eki, baatandika kubbala mulingo ghwa kumwitilamu. Bhaatu boobaha kukikola nanga ki̱bbu̱la kya bantu aba boona bakaba badheedheeu̱we haabwa kwegheesi̱ya kuwe. 19 Obu bwahi̱ki̱ye lwagholo Yesu na beeghesebuwa be baalu̱gha mu kibugha eki.

20 Nkyambisi ya kilo ekyalabhi̱yʼo obu baatodhagha kukuukayo, baasaalila haai-haai na kiti eki. Baabona nkyomeeye kimui na mi̱li̱ yakiyo yoona. 21 Niibuwo Peetelo aasu̱ki̱ye, aaghila ati, “Mwegheesi̱ya, olole! Kiti eki eso waaki̱i̱ni̱ye, kyona kyomeeye kimui!” 22 Yesu aaghila beeghesebuwa be aba ati, “Mu̱hi̱ki̱li̱je Luhanga! 23 Mbaghambiiye majima, muntu naaghi̱li̱ye mwena oghu ati, ‘Odhuulike haala weesimbe mu nanja,’ ataakughuluka-ghu̱lu̱ki̱ya mu mutima ghuwe, bhaatu ahi̱ki̱li̱ja ngu eki aasabi̱ye kikubʼo, niikuwo kikumukoleluwa. 24 Nahabweki mbaghambiiye, kintu kyona eki olasabagha Luhanga mu nsaala, ohi̱ki̱li̱jaghe ngu okukitunga, kandi kilabaagha kyawe. 25 Ti̱ bwile bwona obu mulabaagha nimusaba Luhanga, nimwabaaye musaaluuwe haabwa eki muunakyanu abasobeleei̱ye, mumughanilaghe, niikuwo naanu Eseenu̱we wʼomu eghulu abaghanilaghe ebi mu̱sobeei̱ye. [ 26 Bhaatu mutaaghaniiye baanakyanu, naanu Eseenu̱we wʼomu eghulu taalabaghanilagha ebi mu̱sobeei̱ye.”]‡11:26 Lukaala luni taluli mu bihandiiko binji, bakalu̱ti̱gha.

27 Yesu na beeghesebuwa be baatodha baaki̱dha Yelusaalemu. Obu aanabungilagha mu Numba ya Luhanga, bakulu baa bahongi̱, beegheesi̱ya baa bilaghilo, na bengei̱ baa Bayu̱daaya, baamwisʼo. 28 Baamu̱bu̱u̱li̱ya bati, “Ni ani̱ aakuhaaye bu̱toki̱ bwa kukola ebi byona?” 29 Yesu aabaghila ati, “Ndimababu̱u̱li̱ya ki̱bu̱u̱li̱yo kimui, mukinkuukemu niikuwo nanje mbaghambile oghu ampaaye bu̱toki̱ bwa kukola bintu ebi nkwete kukola. 30 Yohaana Mubati̱ji̱ akaaya haa bu̱toki̱ bwa kubati̱ja? Bukalu̱gha mu eghulu kedha mu bantu? Munkuukemu.” 31 Niibuwo baatandi̱ki̱ye ku̱bu̱u̱lani̱ya bati, “Tumukuukemu tu̱ti̱ya? Ntwamu̱ku̱u̱ki̱yemu tuti ‘Luhanga niiye akamuha buwo,’ akutughila ati, ‘Ti̱ ekyaleki̱ye mutaahi̱ki̱li̱ja Yohaana oghu nkiki?’ 32 Kandi ntwaghi̱li̱ye tuti, ‘Bantu niibo baamuhaaye buwo,’ bantu bakani̱ye bakutusaalililuwa.” (Bakulu baa di̱i̱ni̱ aba boobaha nanga bantu boona bakaba bamani̱ye ngoku Yohaana Mubati̱ji̱ aabaagha mulangi̱ kwonini.) 33 Niibuwo baamu̱ku̱u̱ki̱yemu bati, “Tatumani̱ye.” Yesu naye aabaghila ati, “Kwesi̱i̱ni̱ nanje tankubaghambila oghu ampaaye bu̱toki̱ bwa kukola ebi nkwete kukola.”
