Matthai 21
1 Jerusalem taengla a yoei uh vaengah Olives tlang kah Bethphage la pawk uh. Te vaengah Jesuh loh a hnukbang panit te a tueih tih,
Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, opposite the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 “Na rhaldan kah kho la cet rhoi lamtah muli-marhang neh a taengah a ca a pael te kawl na hmuh rhoi ni. Hlam rhoi lamtah kai taengla hang khuen rhoi.
saying to them: “Go into the village opposite you and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose her and bring them to me.
3 Khat khat loh nangmih rhoi te khoem n'thui sak atah, 'Boeipa loh a ngoe,’ ti nah. Te vaengah koe han hlah bitni,” a ti nah.
And if anyone says anything to you, just say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
4 He he a om daengah ni tonghma loh a thui te a soep eh.
Now all this happened so that what was spoken through the prophet should be fulfilled, namely:
5 “Zion nu te thui pah, na manghai tah nang taengla ha pawk coeng te, muli-marhang so neh laak tal ca soah khaw muelhtuet la ngol,” a ti.
“Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Look, your King is coming to you, humble and mounted on a donkey, in fact, a young donkey, foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 Hnukbang rhoi te cet rhoi tih Jesuh kah a thuinuet bangla a saii rhoi.
So going and doing just as Jesus had commanded them,
7 Muli-marhang neh a ca te a khuen rhoi tih himbai a tloeng uh thil phoeiah a ngoldoelh thil.
the disciples brought the female donkey and the young donkey. And they placed their clothes on them and He sat down on them [the clothes].
8 Te vaengah hlangping a kumngai loh longpuei ah a himbai te a phaih uh. A tloe rhoek loh thing kah a hlaeng te a hlaek uh tih longpuei ah a phaih uh.
And the very large crowd spread their clothes on the road, while others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road.
9 Te phoeiah a hmaila aka lamhma neh a hnuk kah aka vai hlangping loh pang uh tih, “David capa tah Hosanna, Boeipa ming neh aka pawk tah a yoethen pai, sangkoek ah Hosanna,” a ti uh.
Then the crowds who went in front and those who followed kept crying out, saying: “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
10 Jerusalem la a kun vaengah khopuei boeih hinghuen tih, “Anih he unim,” a ti uh.
So when He came into Jerusalem the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 Te vaengah hlangping loh, “Anih he Galilee Nazareth lamkah tonghma Jesuh ni,” a ti uh.
And the crowds kept saying, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Natsareth of Galilee.”
12 Jesuh te bawkim khuila kun tih bawkim kah hno yoi rhoek neh hno lai rhoek te boeih a haek, tangkathung rhoek kah caboei neh vahu aka yoi rhoek kah ngoltlang te a palet pah.
Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all who were selling and buying in the temple, and He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold the doves.
13 Te phoeiah amih te, “Ka im tah, 'Thangthuinah im la khue saeh,’ tila a daek coeng. Tedae nangmih loh dingca rhoek kah a khuirhung la na khueh uh,” a ti nah.
And He says to them, “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it ‘a cave of bandits’.”
14 Te vaengah amah te mikdael rhoek neh aka khaem rhoek loh Bawkim ah a paan uh tih amih te a hoeih sak.
And the lame and the blind came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.
15 Tedae khobae rhambae la a saii neh camoe rhoek loh bawkim ah pang tih, “David Capa tah Hosanna,” a ti uh khosoihham rhoek neh cadaek rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah a yakdam uh.
But seeing the wonders that He did, and the children calling out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” the chief priests and the scribes became indignant
16 Te dongah Jesuh te, “He rhoek loh a thui te na yaak a?” a ti nah. Te vaengah Jesuh loh amih te, “Ue, na tae uh mahnim? “'Cahmang neh cacun rhoek kah ka lamkah loh thangthennah na rhoekbah coeng,’ a ti ta,” a ti nah.
and said to Him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” So Jesus says to them: “Yes. Have you never read that ‘Out of the mouth of babies and nursing infants You have prepared praise for Yourself’?”
17 Te phoeiah amih te a hnoo phoeiah khopuei lamkah loh Bethany la cet tih pahoi rhaeh.
Leaving them behind He went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there.
18 Khopuei la yueya a bal vaengah tah a bungpong.
Now in the early morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry.
19 Long ah thaibu kung pakhat a hmuh tih a taengla a paan. Tedae a hnah bueng mueh atah a kung dongah bang khaw hmu pawh. Te dongah, “Dungyan duela nang kah a thaih om boel saeh,” a ti nah tih thaibu kung tah pahoi koh. (aiōn g165)
And seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He went up to it and found nothing on it, just leaves. And He says to it, “May you never again produce fruit!” And forthwith the fig tree started to wither. (aiōn g165)
20 Hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah a ngaihmang uh tih, “Metlamlae thaibu kung tlek a koh ca,” a ti uh.
And seeing it the disciples marveled saying, “How quickly the fig tree became withered!”
21 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Nangmih taengah rhep kan thui, tangnah na khueh uh tih na boelhkhoeh pawt atah, thaibu kung bueng te na saii uh pawt vetih hekah tlang he phoek tih tuili khuila hlak ham pataeng na ti nah uh koinih coeng tangloeng ngawn ni.
So in answer Jesus said to them: “Assuredly I say to you, if you (pl.) have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you should say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and be thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.
22 Te phoeiah thangthuinah neh vawpvawp na bih uh te tah tangnah neh na dang uh ni,” a ti nah.
And anything whatever you may ask in the believing prayer, you will receive.”
23 Bawkim khuila Jesuh pawk tih a thuituen vaengah khosoihham rhoek neh pilnam kah a ham rhoek loh anih te a paan uh. Te phoeiah, “Mebang saithainah nen lae saii he? Te phoeiah hekah saithainah he u long nang m'paek?” a ti na uh.
So He came into the temple, and as He was teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people approached Him saying, “By what kind of authority are you doing these things?” and “Who gave you this authority?”
24 Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Nangmih te ol pakhat kan dawt eh. Te te kai taengah nan thui uh atah he rhoek he mebang saithainah neh ka saii khaw nangmih taengah kan thui bitni.
But in answer Jesus said to them: “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things:
25 Baptisma Johan tah me lamkah lae ana om? Vaan lamkah a? Hlang lamkah a?” a ti nah. Te vaengah te rhoek loh amamih khuiah a poek uh tih, “'Vaan lamkah,’ n'ti uh koinih mamih te, 'Balae tih anih te na tangnah uh pawh,’ a ti veh.
The baptism of John—where was it from; from heaven or from men?” So they reasoned among themselves saying: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
26 Tedae hlang lamkah n'ti uh koinih hlangping he koek n'rhih uh. Hlang boeih loh Johan te tonghma la a khueh uh,” a ti uh.
But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the crowd, for all consider John as a prophet.”
27 Te dongah Jesuh te a doo uh tih, “Ka ming uh pawh,” a ti uh. Tedae Jesuh loh amih te, “Mebang saithainah neh ka saii he khaw nangmih taengah ka thui mahpawh.
So in answer to Jesus they said, “We do not know.” So He said to them: “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 Nangmih ta metlam na poek? Hlang pakhat loh a ca panit a khueh. A cuek te a paan tih, “Ka ca tihnin ah dum ah cet lamtah saii ne,” a ti nah.
“But what do you think? A certain man had two sons, and going to the first he said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
29 Te vaengah te long te a doo tih, 'Ka ngaih pawh,’ a ti nah. Tedae a hnukkhueng ah yut tih koep cet.
But in answer he said, ‘I don't want to’ (but later he changed his mind and went).
30 Pakhat te a paan tih lamhma kah banngla a ti nah. Te long tah a doo tih, 'Ka cet ni boeipa,’ a ti nah dae cet pawh.
And going to the other he said likewise. And in answer he said, ‘I go, Sir’; yet he did not go.
31 Te rhoi panit khuiah ulae a napa kah kongaih aka saii,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Lamhma loh,” a ti na uh. Jesuh loh amih te, “Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, mangmucoi neh hlanghalh rhoek tah Pathen ram khuila nangmih lakah lamhma uh ni.
Which of the two did the will of the father?” They say to Him, “The first.” Jesus says to them: “Assuredly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes will go into the kingdom of God before you do.
32 Johan loh duengnah longpuei neh nangmih taengla ha pawk dae anih te na tangnah uh moenih. Tedae mangmucoi rhoek neh hlanghalh rhoek loh anih te a tangnah. Nangmih loh na hmuh uh coeng dae anih te tangnah ham a tloihsoi ah khaw na yut uh moenih.
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him, yet when you saw it you did not afterward repent, so as to believe him.
33 A tloe nuettahnah he hnatun uh lah. Lokung hlang pakhat om tih anih loh dum a tue. Te te vongtung a tung tih a khuiah misurrhom a too, imsang khaw a sak. Te phoeiah lotawn rhoek a phaam sak tih vik yiin.
“Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to farmers and went on a journey.
34 A thaih tue a yoei vaengah a sal rhoek te a thaih doe sak ham lotawn rhoek taengla a tueih.
When vintage-time drew near he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruits.
35 Te vaengah lotawn rhoek loh lokung kah sal rhoek te a tuuk uh tih, pakhat te a boh uh, pakhat te a ngawn uh, pakhat te a dae uh.
But the farmers took his servants—one they beat, one they killed, one they stoned.
36 Te phoeiah sal tloe te lamhma kah lakah muep a tueih dae amih te khaw a saii uh tangkhuet.
Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did to them likewise.
37 A hnukkhueng ah a capa te amih taengla a tueih tih, “Ka capa tah a yahnah uh bitni,” a ti.
So finally he sent his son to them saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
38 Tedae lotawn rhoek loh a capa te a hmuh uh vaengah amamih te, “Anih tah rhopangkung la om, Halo, anih he ngawn uh sih lamtah a rho he rhawt pa uh sih,” a ti uh.
But when the farmers saw the son they said among themselves: ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take possession of his inheritance.’
39 Te dongah anih te a tuuk uh phoeiah misurdum lamkah loh voelh a haek uh tih a ngawn uh.
And taking him they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 Te dongah misurdum kah boeipa te a pawk vaengah lotawn rhoek te metlam a saii eh?” a ti nah.
Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
41 Te vaengah, “Amih boethae duet rhoek te a poci sak vetih misurdum te a tloe kah lotawn rhoek a phaam sak ni. Te rhoek long tah a thaih te amah tue vaengah a taengla a thuung ni,” a ti uh.
They say to Him: “He will miserably destroy those miserable men! And he will lease the vineyard to other farmers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.”
42 Jesuh loh amih te, “Cacim khuiah na tae uh mahnim? Im sa rhoek loh a hnawt uh lungto te imkil lu la poeh. He tah Boeipa lamkah loh poeh tih mamih mikhmuh ah a khuet la om ta.
Jesus says to them: “Did you never read in the Scriptures: ‘A stone which the builders rejected, this one became the cornerstone. This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 Te dongah nangmih taengah kan thui, “Pathen kah ram tah nangmih taeng lamkah loh a khuen vetih a thaih aka saii namtom taengah a paek ni
Therefore I say to you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a nation producing the fruits of it.
44 Te dongah hekah lungto soah aka tla tah tlawt vetih, lungto loh a tlak thil te khaw amah ni aka tip eh,” a ti nah.
Also, whoever falls upon this stone will be broken to pieces; but upon whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.”
45 Tedae khosoihham rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah, anih kah nuettahnah te amih kawng ni a. thui tila a ming uh.
As the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables they knew that He was speaking about them.
46 Te dongah anih te tuuk hamla a mae uh dae Jesuh te tonghma la a khueh uh dongah hlangping te a rhih uh.
And although they wanted to seize Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they considered Him as a prophet.
