When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent 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 said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has yet sat. Untie him, and bring him.
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.
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'Because the Lord needs it,' and he will send it back here at once."
4 Acunüng cit ni lü sanghngaksaü cun lama pei mkawt üng ngphung se, hmu ni lü, ani suh.
They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
5 Acunüng ngdüikia khyang avang naw, “Ise, acena sanghngaksaü nani sutki ni?” ami ti u.
Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?"
6 Jesuh naw a jah mtheha kba jah mtheh ni se, acunüng ami jah cehsak.
They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
7 Acuna sanghngaksaü cun Jesuha veia lawpüi ni se, a khana ami suisak mtaih u lü Jesuh ngawki.
They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus 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.
Many spread their garments on the way, and others spread branches which they had cut from the fields.
9 A ma citki he la a hnua läkia khyang he naw, “Hosana! ‘Bawipa ngming üng lawki hin Pamhnam naw dawnak pe seh!’
Those who went in front, and those who followed, shouted, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
10 Pha law khaia khaw cun Davita uknaka kcün üngka kba josenaka am be se,” tia ngpyangki he.
Blessed is the 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 the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 Angawi, Bethanih üngka naw ami law be üng Jesuh a ei ngaih lawki.
The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
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.
Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for 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)
Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." 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.
They came to Jerusalem, and he entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.
16 Jesuh naw Temple jawihtuknaka kba ami summang vai am ti.
He would not allow anyone to carry a container 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.
He taught, saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?' But you 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.
The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching.
19 Khaw mü law se Jesuh la axüisaw he cun Jerusalem üngka naw akcea citeiki he.
When evening came, they went out of the city.
20 Angawi ngawilam, ami ceh lama fik thing a pya cäpa ng’yawngei se ami hmuh.
As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
21 Pita naw süm law be lü, “Saja aw tenga, Fik thing na yünce cen ng’yawngei ve!” a ti.
Peter, remembering, said to him, "Teacher, look. The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."
22 Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Pamhnam jum ua.
Jesus answered 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.
Truly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done 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.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
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.
Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your wrongdoing.
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your wrongdoing."
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,
They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came 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 began saying to him, "By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority to 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.
Jesus said to them, "I will also ask you one question. 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 from heaven, or from people? 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.
They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say, 'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe 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,
If we should say, 'From people'"—they feared the crowd, for all held John to really be 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.
They answered and said to Jesus, "We do not know." Jesus said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."
