1 Yeesu akasikira mumugye gwa Yeriko, akabha arahita gatigati yo omugye. 2 Mumugye guyo, yaari arimu omuniibhi wumwe, eriina ryaaye Zakayo, ewe yaari omukuru wa abhatobhya bhe eriigooti. 3 Yaari areenda kurora Yeesu ni muutu wa tuubhoki, nawe ataanagirye kumurora, kwo okubha esaango ya abhaatu yaari ni kuru, neewe ni muguhi. 4 Kweego akaryaara bhwaangu, akagya embere we esaango yiyo, akatiira kumuti gwo omuko, okubha anagye kumurora Yeesu akuhita kunzira yiyo.

5 Hano Yeesu yahikiri hayo, akiisuunza kumuti iguru, akabhuga, “Zakayo, ituuma bhwaangu! Nireenderwa nibhe omugini mumugye gwaazo reero.” 6 Rugeendo rumwe Zakayo akiituuma, akamuginihya Yeesu mumugye gwaaye kwo obhuzomererwa.

7 Abhaatu bhoosi, hano bhaaruuzi gayo, bhakataanga kwiiririirirya, bharabhuga, “Ndora agiiri kurya no omukori we ebhibhi!”

8 Nawe, Zakayo akiimeerera, akamubhuurira “Itegeerera, Omukuru Yeesu! Bhoono ego, eriitinika rye ebhigiro bhyaane ndabhaha abhataka. Na eraabhe nimuruusirye omuutu wowoosi, ndamukyoorerya kane.”

9 Yeesu akabhuga, “Reero yino, obhutuurya bhuhikiiri abhaatu bhe enyuumba yino. Omuutu wuyo woosi, bhoono ni we ekisyooko kya Aburahamu, 10 kwo okubha enye Omwaana wo Omuutu, niiziri kumoohya no okutuurya abhaatu bhano bhabhuriri.”

11 Hano abhaatu bhaari bhakwiitegeerera amangʼana gayo, Yeesu akeenderera kugaamba ekireengyo kimwe, kwo okubha yaari ariisukira Yerusaremu, na abhaatu bhayo bhakiiseega kubha, obhutemi bhwa Taatabhugya bhuratuuka kwiibhaga riyoriyo. 12 Kweego, akabhuga, “Yaari ariho omuutu owumwe we ekisyooko kyo obhutemi. Omuutu wuyo, akagya orugeendo kukyaaro kya kure, okubha ahaabhwe obhukaangati bhwo okubha omutemi, kyaamwe akyoore kukaangata ekyaaro kyaaye.

13 “Hano ya akyaari kugya, akabhabhirikira abhagya bhaaye ikumi gati wa abhaandi, akabhaha eziimiina*Eziimiina ni mbirya zye ekare. Emiina yimwe yaari ya amariho ge emyeeri etatu. ikumi, akabhabhuurira, ‘Mukore obhusuruzya bhwe eziimbirya zino tee hano ndaakyoore.’

14 “Nawe abhaatu bhe ekyaaro kyaaye bhakamubhiihirirya bhukongʼu. Bhakatuma abhaatu bhamutuniirire no okuhira amangʼana, bharabhuga ‘Tutakumweenda omuutu wuno abhe omutemi weetu!’ 15 Nawe, akahaabhwa obhukaangati bhwo obhutemi. Hano yakyooriri, omutemi akabhabhirikira abhabhagati bharya akabhahaana eziimbirya, okubha omugya wowoosi amubhuurire omutemi abhweeni bhweeraki.

16 “Omugya wo obhutaangi akahika, akamubhuurira, ‘Omutemi, kuriingʼaana ne eziimbirya zino waantigiiri, nibhweeni obhweera bhwi ikumi kukiraho.’

17 “Omutemi wuyo akamubhuurira, ‘Okoriri kisi. Awe ni mugya muzomu! Kya bhurya waari omuheene kumahokya amasuuhu bhukongʼu, ndakuha obhukuru iguru ye emigye ikumi.’

18 “Omugya wa kabhiri woosi akahika, akamubhuurira, ‘Omutemi, kuriingʼaana ne eziimbirya zino waantigiiri, nibhweeni obhweera bhwi isaano kukiraho.’

19 “Omutemi akamubhuurira, ‘Woosi, ndakuha obhuturo iguru ye emigye etaano.’

20 “Omugya owuundi akahika, akabhuga, ‘Omutemi, eziimbirya zyaazo nzino hano, nikazibhisa kumweenda, zitaaza kubhura. 21 Nikakora ego kwo okubha ndakwoobhoha, awe ni muutu mukongʼu, oragega gano otaagateeriho, na oragesa gano oteemirye.’

22 “Omutemi akamubhuurira, ‘Omugya omubhi! Bhoono ndakutinira ekiina kumangʼana gaazo omweene. Ogaambiri omenyiri kubha enye ni muutu mukongʼu, ndagega garya nitaagateeriho, na ndagesa gano niteemirye? 23 Eraabhe niigo, bhoono kwaki otanibhiikiiri eziimbirya zyaane kubhasuruzya, okubha nizigege hamwe no obhweera bhwaku hano nikukyoora owaane?’

24 “Rugeendo rumwe, akabhabhuurira abhaatu bhano bhaari bhiimeereeri hayo, ‘Mugege eziimbirya zya wuyo, mumuhe wurya abhweeni obhweera bhwi ikumi.’

25 “Bhakamubhuurira, ‘Nawe omutemi, ndora wuno abhweeni obhweera bhwi ikumi!’

26 “Akabhuga, ‘Ndabhabhuurira kubha, omuutu wowoosi wuno akukorera emirimo ebhigiro bhino nimuheeri, ndamwoongerya ebhiindi. Nawe, omuutu wowoosi wuno atakukorera bhuzomu ebhigiro bhino nimuheeri, naabhe ebhisuuhu bhino anabhyo ndamuteesya. 27 Nawe abhabhisa bhaane bhano bhateendiri enye nibhe omutemi waabhu, mubhareete hano, mubhiite embere waane!’ ”

28 Hano Yeesu yamariri kugaamba gayo, akeenderera no orugeendo rwaaye rwo okugya Yerusaremu. 29 Hano yiisukiri mumigye gya Betifage na Betania, mu Kiguru kye Emizeituni. Niho akabharagania bhabhiri gati wa abhaanabheega bhaaye, 30 akabhabhuurira, “Mugeende mumugye guno guri embere weenyu. Hano muraasikire muyo, murabhona etikiri, yino ekyaari kugega muutu, ebhohirwe. Muyisibhure muyireete hano. 31 Eraabhe omuutu wowoosi arabhabhuurya, ‘Ndora murayitazura?’ mumubhuurire, ‘Omukuru arayeenda.’ ”

32 Kimwe, abhaanabheega bhayo bhakagya, bhakabhona bhyoosi kyaabhurya Yeesu yabhabhuuriiri. 33 Hano bhaari bharatazura etikiri, bheene tikiri bhakabhabhuurya, “Emwe! Kwaki murasibhura etikiri yiyo?”

34 Bhakabhabhuurira, “Omukuru arayeenda.” 35 Bhakamuhirira Yeesu etikiri yirya, bhakaarya emyeenda gyaabhu iguru yaku, kimwe bhakamutiirya Yeesu iguru waku.†Rora Zakaria 9:9.

36 Hano Yeesu yaari aragya, abhaatu bhakaarya emyeenda gyaabhu kunzira kwo okumusuuka. 37 Na hano yiisukiri ahagiro he ekihiriingito kye Ekiguru kye Emizeituni, esaango yoosi ya abhaanabheega bhaaye bhakataanga kumukumya Taatabhugya kwo obhuzomererwa, iguru ye ebhitiika bhyoosi bhino bharuuzi. Bhakatiirya eriiraka ryaabhu, 38 bhakabha bharabhuga,

39 Kusaango yiyo, bhaabharimu Abhafarisayo. Neebho, bhakamubhuurira Yeesu, “Omweegya, obhatumanie abhaanabheega bhaazo bhatagaamba gayo!”

40 Yeesu akabhuga, “Ndabhabhuurira kubha, eraabhe bhano bharaakire, eheene amagina garatiirya eriiraka!”

41 Hano Yeesu yiisukiri omugye gwa Yerusaremu no okugurora, akataanga okuguririra. 42 Akabhuga, “Niingeendiri reero yino kubha omenye enzira yo okureeta omureembe! Nawe bhoono otakunagya kumenya. 43 Kuziisiku zino zikuuza, abhabhisa bhaazo bharakwiinarirya enyiki kongʼu yo okukurwaania kurwa eziimbaara zoosi. 44 Kubhuteero, bharakusikya haasi awe na abhaatu bhaazo bhoosi. Ritariho eriigina rino riraasage iguru ye eriindi, kwo okubha hano Taatabhugya akakureetera obhutuurya, otaabhumenyeekereerye.”

45 Kyaamwe, Yeesu akasikira mwiigoobhe rye eriiseengerero rya Taatabhugya, akabhabhona abhaatu bhano bhaari bhakugurya ebhigiro, akabhaheebha muyo. 46 Akabhabhuurira, “Ekaamirwe mumakaamo ga Taatabhugya, ‘Enyuumba yaane erabha enyuumba ya amasabhi.’§Rora Isaya 56:7. Nawe emwe, muyikoriri kubha eriibhigi rya abhateesya.”*Rora Yeremia 7:11.

47 Eziisiku zyoosi, Yeesu ahaabha areegya abhaatu mwiiseengerero. Abhakuru bha abhaseengeri hamwe na abheegya bhe emigiro na abhakaruka bha Abhayahudi, bhaari bharakomya enzira yo okumwiita. 48 Nawe bhataabhweeni omweeya kwo okubha abhaatu bhoosi bhaari bhariitegeerera amangʼana gaaye kwo obhwiitegeereri bhwaaru.
