Matiyu 21
1 Wa Yesu ni mrli koh ma ba hi ka tie whiewhiere ni Urushalima nda hi ni ngblu u Zaitun u Betafaji, u Yesu ka ton mrli koh ma ha bari,
When they came near to Jerusalem [City of peace] (at the beginning of the first month ofNissan ·Miracles (in Aramaic), 1·), and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Yeshua [Salvation] sent two disciples,
2 nda hla ni bawu, “Hi ni vi gbu u whiewhiere yi u bi toh ba lo nankpron mba vren nankpron bari zi. Si ba ndi nji ba ye nimu.
saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them, and bring them to me.
3 Indrjori nita mye yi kpye, bika hla ndi, 'Bachi ni tie ndu niwu,' u ndji kima ni gbla nno yi ni mba.”
If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
4 Bati wayi ni ndu ku gyren me ni tre wa ba hlawu ni nyu anabia. A tre ndi,
All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 “Hla ni vrenwa u Sihiyona, 'Toh yi, Ichu mbi si ye ni yi,' U katu grji nda hon ni nankpron wa ahi vren maa.'”
“Tell the daughter of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
6 U mrli koh ma ba hi nda ka tie towa Yesu a hla ni bawu'a.
The disciples went, and did just as Yeshua [Salvation] commanded them,
7 Ba ka nji nankpron a mba vren maa ye, nda vu ba nklon ba sa nitu mba, u Yesu ka hon son ni tu kpi mba.
and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
8 Imbru gbugbu ndji ba ba ka ba nklon mba l'ba ni wu nitu nkon, u bari baka tsen vunvu kunkron sru ni nkon a.
A very great multitude carpeted the road with their clothing, while others cut branches from the trees, and spread them on the road.
9 U ijbu ndji biwa ba he ni ko shishi ma, ni biwa ba he ko gon maa, baka kla ngblo nyu nda ni hla ndi, “Hosanna ni vren Doda! Wawu wa a si ye nimi ndi Bachi, ahe ni lulu! Hosanna hi ni shu babran!”
The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna ·Save now· to the son of David [Beloved]! Blessed is he who comes in the name of MarYah [Master Yahweh]! Hosanna ·Save now· in the highest!”
10 Niwa Yesu a ri ni Urushalima u muu ma ka suni gbua u ba tre ndi, “Ihi nha mu yi?”
When he had come into Jerusalem [City of peace], all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 U ijbu ndji ba ba saa ndi, “Iwayi hi Yesu anabi wa a rji ni Galilia.”
The multitudes said, “This is the prophet (promised Messiah), Yeshua [Salvation], from Nazareth [Branch, Separated one] of Galilee [District, Circuit].”
12 U Yesu ka ri ni Hekali. A zu bi le ni bi le ni rju nda tru ba tebru u bi sran nklen ni u bi le tatabara (nghwu)
Yeshua [Salvation] entered into the temple of God, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
13 A hla bawu, “Ba nha ndi, 'Ikoh mu ba yowu nda hi koh u aduwa.' u bi kawu tie fron u bi ybi.”
He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it a den of robbers!”
14 U bi fyen ni bi c'bi za baka ye niwu ni Hekalia wa'a den ba.
The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15 Niwa Prist bi ninkon ba ni bi tsro ataura ba toh ba kpyi wa a tie u ba manji mba wakran nda lawo mrli ba bubu kla ngblo nyu nimi Hekali nda ni tre, “Hosanna ni vren Doda,” u baka vra nfu.
But when the chief priests and the Torah-Teachers saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna ·Save now· to the son of David [Beloved]!” they were indignant,
16 Baka hla niwu, “U si wo kpye wa ndji biyi ba ki trea?” Yesu a hla bawu, “Ee! U bina kra na ndi, 'Rji ni nyu kpran mrli ni bi ma sisan u yo gbyre san?”
and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?’”
17 U Yesu ka kab don nda rju hi ni kiekle gbu Betani nda kru ni kima.
He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany [House of affliction], and camped there.
18 Ni mble a kma si ye ni gbua, u iyon ka tiwu.
Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
19 A to nci mbua ni nyu nkon, nda hi ni kima nda hi ni nci ma nda ka toh a hi kpukpa vunvu yi hama ni klo. A hla niwu, “Na la klo ngana sese kase,” u mbua tsi klu (aiōn g165)
Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
20 Niwa mrli koh ma ba toh a, ba manji ma wakran nda tre, “Anihe mu rli imbua tsi klu?”
When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
21 Yesu a saa nda hla bawu, “Njanji mu mi hla yiwu, bita he ni nkpon nji ndi na rju ni sron na, bina tie kpye wa ba tie ni mbua yi a megyen, bi hla ni ngblu yi, “Chu hi ku ni mma, u wani he tokima.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have trusting faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.
22 Ikpye wa bi mye ni aduwa ndi nyme, bi kpa.”
All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
23 Niwa Yesu ari ni hekalia, u Prist bi ninkon ni cice ba ye niwu kasia tsro nda tre, “Ani ngbengblen rime u tie kpyi biyi, wa hi nha nno wu gbengblen yi?
When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”
24 Yesu a saa nda hla ni bawu, “I me ngame mi mye yi imye ri. Bita hla mu ime me mi hla ni yiwu ka ni ngbengblen rime mi tie kpyi biyi.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Batisma u Yohana - a rji ni mma meyi? A rji ni shulu ka a rji ni ba ndji? U baka sron mu ni kpa mba, nda tre, “Kita tre ndi, a rji ni shulu, ani hla tawu, wa ngye tie bina kpau nyme na?
The mikvah ·ritual washing baptism· of John [Yah is gracious], where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not trust him?’
26 U kie ta hla, 'a rji ni ndji,' kie klu sissri ndji, wa ba toh Yohana ahi anabi.”
But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John [Yah is gracious] as a prophet.”
27 U baka saa ni Yesu na hla, “Kie na toh na.” Wawu ngame hla ni bawu ndi, “Ime me mina hla yiwu ka ni ngbengblen rime mi tie kpi biyi na.
They answered Yeshua [Salvation], and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 U biki ta mre nihe? Indji a he ni mri lon ha. Ahi ni u mumla nda tre, 'vrenmu, hi tie ndu ni rju luwa.'
But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
29 Ivren a ka saa nda tre, Mi na hina aye tamre ni ko gon nda ye hi.
He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he had remorse ·to care afterwards, regret into repent·, changed his mind, and went.
30 U igua hi ni vren u ha nda hla wu toh u rima. Ivren yi a saa nda hla, 'Mi hi, Tietie, nda na ye hi na.
He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but he didn’t go.
31 A hi rime nimi mri ha ba a tie kpye wa tie mba a son a?” Baka hla, “U mumlaa.” Yesu ka hla ni bawu, “Njanji mu mi hla ni yiwu, bi kpa ban ni bi tie ntran ba ri ni gbu u chu Rji guchi ni yiwu.
Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.
32 Yohana a ye niyi ni ngon u ndindi, u bika na nyme niwu na, u bi kpa' ban ni bi tie ntran baka nyme niwu. U biyi wa bi toh towa, bi na yo ru ru ndi nyme ni wu na.
For John [Yah is gracious] came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t trust him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes trusted him. When you saw it, you didn’t even have remorse ·to care afterwards, regret into repent· or teshuvah ·turn repent· afterward, that you might trust him.
33 La wo njo ri ngari. Indji ri ahe ni rju. A sen kpyi ni mima, nda hrawu kagon ma, nda shi juju u shbi ma klo inabi ni rjua, nda la mme koh ri guglo ma nda nno rjua ni wo bi ron bari. Nda hi ni gbu ri.
“Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a wall about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.
34 Wa nton u shbi inabi a tie whiewhiere, a ton gran ma bari hi ndu ba kpa klo ma nji wu.
When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit.
35 U bi ya rju'a baka vu gran ma ba nda tsi ri mba, nda wuu ri nda ta rima ni tita.
The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36 U ndji u rju'a ala ton gran ma bari wa ba nna bi mumla, u bi ron rju'a baka tie ni bawu towa ba tie ni bi mumla'a.
Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.
37 Indji u rju'a a ye ton vren ma hi ni ko gon bi mu ba, nda tre, ba wo vren mu'a.
But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
38 U wa bi ron ba ba toh vren'a, ba tre ni kpamba, Iwayi yi hi wa ani son nyu ma, ye, kie wuu ndi kpa rju'a.
But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and seize his inheritance.’
39 U baka vu rju ni rju'a taga nda wuu.
So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 U indji u rju'a nita ye, ani tie bi ron ba ni he?
When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
41 U ba hla wu, “Ani wuu meme bi ron ba ni kpukpo ya,' nda ka rju'a nno bi ron bari wa ba ka hanwu ni nton wa inebi tie a.
They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season.”
42 Yesu a hla ni bwu, “Bi na kra ni tre Irji na, 'Tita wa bi mme ba kamba niwu a ka tie tita u nfron ma. Iwa yi ahi tie u Irji nda bi ni shishi mbu?
Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner. This was from Adonai. It is marvelous in our eyes?’
43 Nitu kimayi me hla yiwu, ba kpa gbu u chu Irji niyi nda ka nno u ko ra ri wa ani ti ndindia.
“Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.
44 U wa a rjoku nitu tita yia, ani chon tie rjuru me. U nitu ndji wa ku'a ani Myrian wu.”
He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but if it falls on him, he will crushed to dust.”
45 Wa Prist bi ninkon ba ni ba Farisawa ba wo njo maa, baka toh nda asi tre nitu mba.
When the chief priests and the Pharisees [Separated] heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
46 Ba wa nkon u vu nda klu sissri jbu ndji ba, nitu wa indji ba ban wu nda a hi anabi.
When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
