1 Yesʉ n'abɨga bʉwe babere bahika hofɨ n'ɨYerʉsalemʉ, mobahika ɨBetefake, ko kɨthwa ky'eMiseituni*. Yesʉ mwathʉma bɨga babɨrɨ 2 n'ɨbwɨrabo athɨ: «Mʉgende mo muyi owalɨ embere senyu, mweyako pʉnda iminirwe hagʉma n'ekyana ky'epʉnda. Mʉmɨnʉletho na mʉnyɨretheretho. 3 N'omʉndʉ amababʉtsya kɨnwa, mwamʉshʉbɨtsya mʉthɨ: "Nyinya-kowethʉ alayire kʉtho."

6 Aho abɨga mobageda mobakola nga ko Yesʉ ahamʉlagabo. 7 Mobaletha epʉnda n'ekyana ky'epʉnda, na mobashesha esongɨmba sabo so kʉtho na Yesʉ mwikala kʉro. 8 Muhindano wa bandʉ bangɨ mobashesha esongɨmba sabo so mo nzɨra, n'abandɨ bagenda abatsa bɨsanza ko mɨthɨ n'ɨsheshabyo mo nzɨra.* 9 Abandʉ bo babyaga ebʉshondotsɨ bwa Yesʉ n'abo babyaga bamukwamire bagenda abahambala bathɨ:

«Hosana* kʉ Mʉgala wa Tawiti!

Agashanɨrwe yo uhika kw'ɨtsɨna lya Nyinya-kowethʉ!

10 Yesʉ abere ɨngɨra ɨYerʉsalemʉ, omuyi woshi mwathabagana. Abandʉ mobathanga ibutsania bathɨ: «Nɨ ndɨ oyu?» 11 Omuhindano w'abandʉ mobashubya bathɨ: «Nɨ Yesʉ mʉmɨnyeretsɨ w'iNasareti mo kɨhʉgo ky'iNgalilaya.»

12 Honyuma kw'aho, Yesʉ mwɨngɨra mo Nyʉmba ya Gongo, mwathɨbɨtha ko boshi bo bagenda abagʉtsya n'abo bagenda abagʉlɨramo. Mwakʉmbagatsya esonyɨgalɨ s'abahingania b'esofaranga n'ebifumbi by'abahingania b'amakʉkʉ. 13 Na mwabwɨrabo athɨ: «Kushakirwe kʉthɨ:

14 Esombumi n'ebɨrema mobyayɨfʉnda ahalɨ Yesʉ mo Nyʉmba ya Gongo na mwalamyabyo. 15 Abakʉlʉ b'abaheri n'aBakangɨrɨtsya b'oMʉgomba mobatsɨbʉka babere bashʉnga b'yerishwekya Yesʉ agenda akola, n'abana bo bagenda abahambalɨra mo Nyʉmba ya Gongo bathɨ: «Hosana Mʉgala wa Tawiti!» 16 Aho mobabʉtsya Yesʉ bathɨ: «Unonvwire ebyo abana aba abanegena?» Yesʉ mwashʉbɨtsyabo athɨ: «Ega. Mʉthanahera mwathasoma mo mashako ahanegenire hathɨ:

17 Honyuma kw'aho mwamikabo na mwathoka mo muyi w'ɨYerʉsalemʉ na mwaya ɨBetanɨa n'oko, mwagonzerako.

18 Bwabere bwakya mo makerakera, Yesʉ abere anemʉshʉba mo muyi w'ɨYerʉsalemʉ, mwafwa nzala. 19 Mwashʉnga mʉthɨ w'omutini emʉsɨke w'enzɨra, mwayɨfʉnda hofɨ nawo, he mwathashʉnga kʉwo ko kɨndʉ, mweyako ebɨthɨ bɨsha. Aho mwathakɨra omʉthɨ oyo athɨ: «Ʉthɨndashʉbaheke biguma ihika kera na kera!» Aho n'aho, omʉthɨ oyo mwʉma.

20 Abɨga babere bashʉnga kw'ebyo, mobashweka kʉtsɨbʉ n'ɨnegena bathɨ: «Omutini oyu amʉma athɨ konakathambi?» 21 Yesʉ Mwashʉbɨtsyabo athɨ: «Kwenene enyɨbabwɨra, mwamabya na lwɨkɨrɨtsyo bʉtsɨra ɨthɨka-thɨka, nemwe nɨmwandakola ebyo nyamakolera omutini oyu.

23 Yesʉ mwɨngɨra mo Nyʉmba ya Gongo na mwathanga ɨkangɨrɨtsya. Abakʉlʉ b'abaheri n'abangʉmwa b'abandʉ mobayɨfʉnda hofɨ naye n'ɨmʉbʉtsya bathɨ: «Ʉkola ebyoshi ebi kʉ maka ahɨ?
