Mark 11
1 da baye ni urshalima baye wiewiere ni bethphage mba Bethany ni gbuku olives u yesu ton mrikoh ma hari
When they came near to Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany [villages] near Olive [Tree] Hill. Then Jesus [summoned] two of his disciples.
2 da hla ni hawu hi ni vi gbumu wakisiya biti rhi bi toh ba lo vre wadi idro na honni wu to na siwu ngrji mu
He said to them, “Go to that village just ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey that no one has ever ridden, that has been tied {people have tied} up. Untie it, and then bring it [to me].
3 idan itro miyei yi di bichninu nha tre bachi hu niwa ida akle ki ji kamye hari
If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing that?’, say, [‘Jesus], our Lord, needs [to use] it. He will send it back here [with someone] as soon as [he no longer needs it].’”
4 se ha rhi ni vi gbua da ba to vre
So [the two disciples] went and they found the young donkey. It was tied close to the door [of a house], which was beside the street. Then they untied it.
5 da si ndi bari ba mie ba bisi tigye?
Some of the [people who were there] said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
6 u ba hla bawu bachi ni wa indi ba bana tre kpe na
They told them what Jesus had said. So the people permitted them [to take the donkey].
7 ba ji vre ye no yesu da ju nklon ba sur niwu du kusun ni tuma
They brought the donkey to Jesus. [The disciples] put some of their clothes on it [in order to make something for him to sit on].
8 gbugbu ndi bari ba ju nklon ba sur ni wu du nzere zu nituma bari ba wa vuvu sur niwu du nzre zunituma
Many people spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him as a king]. Others, [in order to honor him], spread along the road branches that they cut from [palm trees] in the fields [beside the road].
9 biwa bana huba ba ya sei da guluzan da nitre hosanna lulu hei nitu ndia wadi a niye ni mi de bachi
The people who were going in front of him and behind him were all shouting [things like], “Praise God!” “May God bless this one who comes (with his authority/as his representative) [MTY].”
10 ite bu Dauda akpa lulu ni mulkima Hossana nimi shulu
“May you be blessed {May [God] bless you} when you rule [like] our ancestor [King] David ruled!” “Praise God who is in the highest heaven!”
11 da yesu rhi nimi urushalima da hi nitra irji da ya konitsen da yaluti wa ka rhu hi ni Bethany baba mrikohma ulon don ha
He entered Jerusalem [with them], and then he went into the Temple [courtyard]. After he looked around at everything [there], he left [the city] because it was already late [in the afternoon]. He returned to Bethany with the twelve [disciples and slept there].
12 ni vi uha ni bethanu u iyoun tiu
The next day, as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
13 wa toh chi kukro ri ni gbugba n mu da hi ko ani fe iwo kukro a ni to ma da ahi dana toh kpei na sei vuvu migye ana hei niton u klomana
He saw from a distance a fig tree with all its leaves, so he went [to it] to see if he could find any [figs] on it. But when he came to it, he found only leaves on it. This was because it was not yet time when [normal fig trees have ripe] figs.
[But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
15 da baye ni urushalima da ri hi ni tra irji da zu bi le kpei nitra irji da zu ruron ba hle ga ni bi sran klen nibi le gu
Jesus and his disciples went [back] to Jerusalem. He entered the Temple [courtyard. He saw people] who were selling and buying [animals for sacrifices. They were spoiling the place of worship]. He chased those people [from the Temple courtyard.] He also overturned the tables of those who were giving Temple tax money in exchange for Roman coins. He overturned the seats of the men who were selling doves [for sacrifices],
16 ana kpanyeim duba ji kpei ule rinikina
and he would not allow anyone who was carrying anything [to sell] to go through the Temple [area].
17 q hlatre rbawu bana han na ba you ikoh mu di ikoh u bre ni gbugbuku bi kan iko bi yib
Then as he taught those people, he said to them, “It is written {[One of the prophets] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called {[people] to call my house} a house where [people from] all nations may pray’, but you bandits have made it [like] a cave where you can hide! ([You know that!/Do you not know that]?) [RHQ]”
18 binna baba bi ti du irji ba wa nkon u wuu amma ba klu ndi ba, Gbugbu ndi ba wohtrea
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws [later] heard [about what he had done]. So they planned how they might kill him, [but they knew that it would be difficult], because they realized that the crowd was amazed at what he was teaching and they feared [that the people would soon decide that Jesus had more authority over the Temple than they did] (OR, [feared what the people would do if they tried to arrest Jesus]).
19 niwa yalu a tin a rhu don gbua
That evening, [Jesus and his disciples] left the city [and again slept in Bethany].
20 da ba zu da toh kunkro wadi yesu lau a klu rhini njama ba bwu nyu yo ni woho daya
[The next] morning, while they were going along [the road toward Jerusalem, they saw that the fig tree that Jesus had cursed] had withered completely.
21 Bitrus a rimre da tre malla wu toh kukro wawu lau? a kuq wawu
Peter remembered [what Jesus had said to the fig tree] and he exclaimed to Jesus, “Teacher, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!”
22 yesu ka sa u you suron irji
Jesus replied, “[You should not be surprised that God did what I asked]! You must trust that God [will do whatever you ask him to do]!
23 jaji me hla yuwu ndi wa a you suron ni irji da hla ni ghu gbulu du grji joku ani joku
[Also] note this: If anyone says to this hill, ‘Be raised up {Rise up} and then be thrown {throw yourself} into the lake!’ and if he does not doubt [that what he asks for will happen], that is, if he believes that what he asks for will happen, [God] will do it for him.
24 naki mi hla yuu di ikpei wa bi mie di kpa gyeim bikpa ana kam ti u me
So I tell you, whenever you ask [God] for something when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and, [if you do, God] will do it [for you].
25 da u kri di bre wuka kpayiem di wur hle duka ndia da lah u don du iti bi u shulu ni wur latre me hle niwu game
Now, I [tell you this also]: Whenever you are praying, if you have a grudge against people [because they have harmed you], forgive them, in order that your Father in heaven will [likewise] forgive your sins.”
26 ihan Mark ana hla duta wur hle na
27 baye ni urushalima gari yesu si nzre ni mikoh irji
Jesus and his disciples arrived in the Temple [courtyard] in Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking [there, a group consisting of] chief priests, [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and elders came to him and they said to him,
28 bi han ibe ni bi bla be ni baba bini koh baye niu da mie ni gbrgbrnlen han wu si ti kpe bi yi ahan nuu gbegbeblen u tiba
“By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like those you did here yesterday]?”
29 yesu ka sa du tre mime yi kpe ri bi ti ne tre a i mi hla u koni gbegbenlen nhami si ti kpi biyi
Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do those things.
30 sukpa Yohana agri ri nishu ko ani ni meme
Did God [MTY] or people [authorize] John to baptize [those who came to him]?”
31 baka san iyue ni kpaba da tre kita tre a irji ni shulu wa ani tre ngye sa kina kpa jiem ni u na
They debated among themselves [as to what they should answer]. They [said to each other], “If we say that it was God [who authorized] him, he will say to us, ‘Therefore, (you should have believed what John said!/why did you not believe what John said?) [RHQ]’
32 ama kika tre arji ni ndi ba klu sisir wa di batre si yohana ana ndi u ton du irji u ba hla ni yesu bana toh na
On the other hand, if we say that it was people [who authorized John, then what will happen to us]?” They were afraid [to say that about where John got his authority, because they knew that] the people [would be very angry with them. They knew that] all the people truly believed that John was a prophet [whom God had sent].
33 yesu ka tre meme mina hla ni yiwu ko ni gbengbenlen nha misi ti kpi bi yi
So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question, I] will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
