Yesu ayingira n’Ekitiibwa mu Yerusaalemi
21 (A)Awo Yesu n’abayigirizwa be bwe baali basemberera Yerusaalemi nga batuuse kumpi n’ekibuga Besufaage ku lusozi lwa Zeyituuni, Yesu n’atuma babiri ku bayigirizwa be. 2 N’abagamba nti, “Mugende mu kibuga ekiri mu maaso, bwe munaaba mwakakiyingira mujja kulaba endogoyi ng’esibiddwa awo wamu n’omwana gwayo. Muzisumulule muzireete wano. 3 Naye omuntu yenna bw’anaabaako ky’abagamba, mumuddamu nti, ‘Mukama waffe y’azeetaaga,’ amangwago ajja kuziweereza.”
4 Kino kyabaawo okutuukiriza ebigambo nnabbi bye yayogera nti,
5 (B)“Mubuulire omuwala wa Sayuuni nti,
‘Laba Kabaka wammwe ajja gye muli
nga muwombeefu,
nga yeebagadde omwana gw’endogoyi.’ ”
6 Awo abayigirizwa ababiri ne bagenda ne bakola nga Yesu bwe yabalagira. 7 Ne baleeta endogoyi n’omwana gwayo, ne baaliirako eminagiro gyabwe ku ndogoyi, n’agyebagala. 8 (C)Abantu bangi ne baaliira engoye zaabwe mu luguudo n’abalala ne batema amatabi g’emiti ne bagaalira mu luguudo. 9 (D)Ebibiina ebyamukulembera, n’ebyo ebyamuva emabega ne bireekaana nti,
“Ozaana Omwana wa Dawudi!”
“Aweereddwa omukisa oyo ajja mu linnya lya Mukama.”
“Ozaana waggulu ennyo!”
10 Awo Yesu bwe yayingira mu Yerusaalemi, ne wabaawo oluyoogaano mu kibuga kyonna nga beebuuza nti, “Ono ye ani?”
11 (E)Abaali mu kibiina ne baddamu nti, “Ono ye Yesu Nnabbi ava mu Nazaaleesi eky’omu Ggaliraaya.”
Yesu mu Yeekaalu
12 (F)Awo Yesu n’ayingira mu Yeekaalu n’agobamu abasuubuzi bonna n’avuunika emmeeza z’abaali bawaanyisa ensimbi n’entebe z’abaali batunda amayiba. 13 (G)N’abagamba nti, “Kyawandiikibwa nti, ‘Ennyumba yange eneeyitibwanga nnyumba ya kusabirangamu,’ naye mmwe mugifudde ‘empuku y’abanyazi.’[a]”
14 (H)Awo abazibe b’amaaso n’abalema ne bajja gy’ali mu Yeekaalu n’abawonya. 15 (I)Naye bakabona abakulu n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bwe baalaba eby’ekitalo bye yakola, n’abaana abato abaali mu Yeekaalu nga baleekaanira waggulu nti, “Ozaana Omwana wa Dawudi!” ne banyiiga.
16 (J)Ne bamubuuza nti, “Owulira bano bye bagamba?”
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Mpulira. Temusomangako nti,
“ ‘Abaana abato n’abawere abayonka
balimutendereza!’ ”
17 (K)N’abaviira, n’afuluma mu kibuga n’agenda e Besaniya, n’asula eyo.
Omuti Ogwawotoka
18 Awo enkeera bwe yali ng’addayo mu kibuga n’alumwa enjala, 19 (L)n’alengera omutiini ku mabbali g’ekkubo, n’agutuukako n’atasangako ttiini okuggyako amakoola ameereere. N’agugamba nti, “Toddangayo okubala ebibala.” Amangwago omuti ne guwotoka.
20 Abayigirizwa bwe baakiraba ne beewuunya ne beebuuza nti, “Omutiini guwotose gutya amangu?”
21 (M)Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti bw’oba n’okukkiriza nga tobuusabuusa, oyinza okukola ekiri nga kino n’ebisingawo. Oyinza n’okulagira olusozi luno nti, ‘Siguka ogwe mu nnyanja,’ ne kibaawo. 22 (N)Buli kye munaasabanga nga mukkiriza, munaakiweebwanga.”
Yesu Abuuzibwa gy’aggya Obuyinza
23 (O)Awo Yesu bwe yakomawo mu Yeekaalu bakabona abakulu n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne bajja gy’ali ne bamubuuza nti, “Buyinza ki obukukoza ebyo, era ani yakuwa obuyinza obwo?”
24 Yesu n’addamu nti, “Mumale okunziramu ekibuuzo kyange kino, nange ndyoke mbabuulire obuyinza bwe nkozesa bino. 25 Okubatiza kwa Yokaana kwava wa? Kwava mu ggulu oba mu bantu?” Ne basooka ne boogeraganyaamu bokka na bokka nti, “Bwe tugamba nti, ‘Kwava mu ggulu,’ ajja kutubuuza nti, ‘Kale lwaki temwamukkiriza?’ 26 (P)Ate bwe tunaagamba nti, ‘Kwava mu bantu,’ tutya ekibiina, kubanga bonna bamanyi nga Yokaana yali nnabbi.”
27 Bwe batyo ne baddamu nti, “Tetumanyi!” Yesu kwe kubaddamu nti, “Nange sijja kubabuulira obuyinza bwe nkozesa bino.”
Olugero olw’Abaana Ababiri
28 (Q)“Kale mulowooza mutya ku kino? Waaliwo omusajja eyalina abaana be babiri, n’agamba omubereberye nti, ‘Genda okole mu nnimiro y’emizabbibu leero.’
29 “Omulenzi n’addamu nti, ‘ŋŋaanyi,’ naye oluvannyuma ne yeerowooza n’agenda.
30 “Ate kitaabwe n’agenda eri omulala n’amugamba ekintu kye kimu. Naye ye n’addamu nti, ‘Nnaagenda mukama wange.’ Naye n’atagenda.
31 (R)“Kale, ku bombi aliwa eyagondera kitaawe?”
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Omulenzi ow’olubereberye.”
Awo Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti, abasolooza b’omusolo ne bamalaaya balibasooka okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda. 32 (S)Kubanga Yokaana yajja ng’abuulira ekkubo ery’obutuukirivu naye ne mutamukkiriza. Wabula abasolooza b’omusolo ne bamalaaya baamukkiriza, newaakubadde nga mwakiraba, oluvannyuma temwenenya kumukkiririzaamu.”
Olugero olw’Abalimi
33 (T)“Muwulirize olugero olulala. Waaliwo omusajja ssemaka eyalina emizabbibu, n’agyetoolooza olukomera, n’asimamu essogolero, n’azimbamu n’omunaala, n’agipangisa abalimi, n’agenda olugendo. 34 (U)Ekiseera ky’amakungula bwe kyatuuka, n’atuma abaddu be eri abalimi banone ebibala byamu.
35 (V)“Naye abalimi ne badda ku baddu be, omu ne bamukuba, n’omulala ne bamutta, n’omulala ne bamukasuukirira amayinja. 36 (W)Ate n’abatumira abaddu abalala nga bangiko okusinga abaasooka, era nabo ne babayisa mu ngeri y’emu nga bali abaasooka. 37 Oluvannyuma n’abatumira mutabani we, ng’alowooza nti, ‘Bajja kumussaamu ekitiibwa.’
38 (X)“Naye abalimi bwe baalaba omwana ng’ajja ne bateesa nti, ‘Ono y’agenda okusika, ka tumutte, ebyobusika bwe biriba byaffe!’ 39 Bwe batyo ne bamufulumya ebweru w’ennimiro y’emizabbibu ne bamutta. 40 Kale nannyini nnimiro y’emizabbibu bw’alikomawo alibakola atya?”
41 (Y)Ne bamuddamu nti, “Abantu abo ababi bwe batyo alibazikiririza ddala, ennimiro y’emizabbibu n’agipangisa abalimi abalala abanaamuwanga ebibala mu ntuuko zaabyo.”
42 (Z)Awo Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Temusomanga ku Kyawandiikibwa kino nti,
“ ‘Ejjinja abazimbi lye baagaana
lye lifuuse ejjinja ekkulu ery’oku nsonda.
Kino kyava eri Mukama
era kya kyewuunyo.’
43 (AA)“Kyenva mbagamba nti, Obwakabaka bwa Katonda bulibaggyibwako ne buweebwa eggwanga eribala ebibala byabwo. 44 (AB)Oyo alyesitala n’agwa ku jjinja eryo, alibetentebwa, na buli gwe lirigwako lirimubetenta.”
45 Awo bakabona abakulu n’Abafalisaayo bwe baabiwulira ne bategeera nga Yesu bo b’ayogerako. 46 (AC)Ne baagala bamukwate, naye ne batya ekibiina, kubanga abantu Yesu baamukkiriza, nga nnabbi.

Matthew 21
New International Version
Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(A)(B)
21 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives,(C) Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
4 This took place to fulfill(D) what was spoken through the prophet:
5 “Say to Daughter Zion,
‘See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”[a](E)
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. 8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks(F) on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
11 The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet(J) from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Jesus at the Temple(K)
12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying(L) and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers(M) and the benches of those selling doves.(N) 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’[e](O) but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’[f]”(P)
14 The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.(Q) 15 But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,”(R) they were indignant.(S)
16 “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.
“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read,
17 And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany,(U) where he spent the night.
Jesus Curses a Fig Tree(V)
18 Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. 19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.(W)
20 When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt,(X) not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for(Y) in prayer.”
The Authority of Jesus Questioned(Z)
23 Jesus entered the temple courts, and, while he was teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him. “By what authority(AA) are you doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave you this authority?”
24 Jesus replied, “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 25 John’s baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?”
They discussed it among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’ 26 But if we say, ‘Of human origin’—we are afraid of the people, for they all hold that John was a prophet.”(AB)
27 So they answered Jesus, “We don’t know.”
Then he said, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
The Parable of the Two Sons
28 “What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’(AC)
29 “‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went.
30 “Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go.
31 “Which of the two did what his father wanted?”
“The first,” they answered.
Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors(AD) and the prostitutes(AE) are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32 For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness,(AF) and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors(AG) and the prostitutes(AH) did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent(AI) and believe him.
The Parable of the Tenants(AJ)
33 “Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted(AK) a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built a watchtower.(AL) Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.(AM) 34 When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants(AN) to the tenants to collect his fruit.
35 “The tenants seized his servants; they beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.(AO) 36 Then he sent other servants(AP) to them, more than the first time, and the tenants treated them the same way. 37 Last of all, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
38 “But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, ‘This is the heir.(AQ) Come, let’s kill him(AR) and take his inheritance.’(AS) 39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 “Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”
41 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,”(AT) they replied, “and he will rent the vineyard to other tenants,(AU) who will give him his share of the crop at harvest time.”
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:
“‘The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
the Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes’[h]?(AV)
43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you(AW) and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”[i](AX)
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus’ parables, they knew he was talking about them. 46 They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.(AY)

King James Version
21 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,
16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
