And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples,
2 “Nani maa ngnama va cit nia. Nani va pha la sanghngaksaü ngphungki, u naw pi am a ngcumnak ham nani hmu khai. Sut ni lü hia lawpüi nia.
and says to them, Go into the village which is over against you, and immediately on entering into it ye will find a colt tied, upon which no [child] of man has ever sat: loose it and lead it [here].
3 Khyangnaw, ‘Ivai acen nani pawhki ni?’ ami ti üng, ‘Bawi naw ngjahlü ve, asäng tha law be khai ni’ nani ti vai,” a ti.
And if any one say to you, Why do ye this? say, The Lord has need of it; and straightway he sends it hither.
4 Acunüng cit ni lü sanghngaksaü cun lama pei mkawt üng ngphung se, hmu ni lü, ani suh.
And they departed, and found a colt bound to the door without at the crossway, and they loose him.
5 Acunüng ngdüikia khyang avang naw, “Ise, acena sanghngaksaü nani sutki ni?” ami ti u.
And some of those who stood there said to them, What are ye doing, loosing the colt?
6 Jesuh naw a jah mtheha kba jah mtheh ni se, acunüng ami jah cehsak.
And they said to them as Jesus had commanded. And they let them [do it].
7 Acuna sanghngaksaü cun Jesuha veia lawpüi ni se, a khana ami suisak mtaih u lü Jesuh ngawki.
And they led the colt to Jesus, and cast their clothes upon it, and he sat on it;
8 Khyang he naw ami suisak he lama jah phah u se, avang naw thing hnah he jah ksawm u lü lama ami jah phah.
and many strewed their clothes on the way, and others cut down branches from the trees [and went on strewing them on the way].
9 A ma citki he la a hnua läkia khyang he naw, “Hosana! ‘Bawipa ngming üng lawki hin Pamhnam naw dawnak pe seh!’
And those going on before and those following cried out, Hosanna! blessed [be] he that comes in [the] Lord's name.
10 Pha law khaia khaw cun Davita uknaka kcün üngka kba josenaka am be se,” tia ngpyangki he.
Blessed [be] the coming kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest!
11 Jesuh Jerusalema lawki, temple k’uma lut lü avan jah tengki. Khaw mü law hlükia kyase axüsaw xaleinghngih he am Bethanih mlüha citki he.
And he entered into Jerusalem and into the temple; and having looked round on all things, the hour being already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 Angawi, Bethanih üngka naw ami law be üng Jesuh a ei ngaih lawki.
And on the morrow, when they were gone out of Bethany, he hungered.
13 Fik thing a hnah naw a bu athuknak üngka naw hmu lü akthei ve khai aw, ti lü teng khaia citki. Cunsepi a phung a pha üng a ngtheinaka kcüna am kyakia kyase a hnah däng a hmuh.
And seeing from afar off a fig-tree which had leaves, he came, if perhaps he might find something on it. And having come up to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time of figs.
14 Jesuh naw fik dung üng, “U naw pi na ktheih ä ei be ti se,” ti se, axüisaw he naw ami ngjak. (aiōn g165)
And answering he said to it, Let no one eat fruit of thee any more for ever. And his disciples heard [it]. (aiōn g165)
15 Jerusalem ami pha law üng Jesuh temple üng lut lü, ngui mthawngki hea ngawhnak he la müme jah jawituki hea ngawhnak he a jah hukin.
And they come to Jerusalem, and entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold and who bought in the temple, and he overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of the dove-sellers,
16 Jesuh naw Temple jawihtuknaka kba ami summang vai am ti.
and suffered not that any one should carry any package through the temple.
17 Acunüng jah mthei lü, “Cangcim üng Pamhnam naw, ‘Ka im cun khyangmjü avana ktaiyünaka im ti khai he, tia ng’yuki,’ Cunsepi nangmi naw m'yukei hea umnaka pawh ve uki,” a ti.
And he taught saying to them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of robbers.
18 Acun ktaiyü ktung he la thum jah mtheiki he naw ami ngjak üng Jesuh ami hnimnak vaia lam suiki he. Ani cun kyühki he isetiakhyaüng a ja mtheimthanga phäha khyang he ami cäileta phäh kyaki.
And the chief priests and the scribes heard [it], and they sought how they might destroy him; for they feared him, because all the crowd were astonished at his doctrine.
19 Khaw mü law se Jesuh la axüisaw he cun Jerusalem üngka naw akcea citeiki he.
And when it was evening he went forth without the city.
20 Angawi ngawilam, ami ceh lama fik thing a pya cäpa ng’yawngei se ami hmuh.
And passing by early in the morning they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots.
21 Pita naw süm law be lü, “Saja aw tenga, Fik thing na yünce cen ng’yawngei ve!” a ti.
And Peter, remembering [what Jesus had said], says to him, Rabbi, see, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is dried up.
22 Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Pamhnam jum ua.
And Jesus answering says to them, Have faith in God.
23 Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, u naw pi a pyena kba kya khai tia jum lü hina khawmcung üng, ‘Ngnawn lü mliktui üng kyaa’ a ti üng, a tia kba kya khai.
Verily I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that what he says takes place, whatever he shall say shall come to pass for him.
24 Acunakyase ka ning jah mthehki, ipi ktaiyünak am nami kthäh üng yah lü nami ka na khaia ksing ua, acunüng nami yah khai.
For this reason I say to you, All things whatsoever ye pray for and ask, believe that ye receive it, and it shall come to pass for you.
25 Nami ktaiyü üng ua khana pi mlung am jenak nami tak üng mhlät ua. Acunüng nami Pa, khankhawa ka naw nangmia katnak pi ning jah mhlät khai” a ti.
And when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your offences.
But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your offences.
27 Jerusalema law be tüki he. Jesuh temple k’uma a ceh üng, ktaiyü ktung he, thum jah mtheiki he la, axüngvai he a veia law u lü,
And they come again to Jerusalem. And as he walked about in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to him,
28 “Ia ana am hina ngkhaw he na jah pawhki ni? U naw hina ana a ning pet ni?” tia, ami kthäh.
and they say to him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority, that thou shouldest do these things?
29 Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Kei pi mat ka ning jah kthäh khai, nami na msang üng kei naw pi ia ana am hina ngkhaw he ka jah pawh ning jah mtheh kawng.
And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one thing, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:
30 Johana Baptican petnak hawia ka naw lawki? Mhnam üngka naw lawki aw, khyang üngka naw lawki aw? Na mtheh ua,” a ti.
The baptism of John, was it of heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 Amimät he ngthäh u lü, “I mi ti khai? Mhnam üngka mi ti üng mä, acunüng ise Johan am nami jumki ni? ti khai.
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why [then] have ye not believed him?
32 Khyang üngka mi ti üng mä, (Khyang avan naw Johan cun sahma mata ami ngaia kyase)” tia khyang he jah kyüh u lü,
but should we say, Of men — they feared the people; for all held of John that he was truly a prophet.
33 “Am ksing ve ung,” ami ti. Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Kei naw pi ia ana am hina ngkhaw he ka jah pawh am ning jah mtheh hlü veng,” a ti.
And they answering say to Jesus, We do not know. And Jesus [answering] says to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
