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,
When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to 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 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 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.
If anyone says anything to you, you shall 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.
All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
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.
“Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
6 Hnukbang rhoi te cet rhoi tih Jesuh kah a thuinuet bangla a saii rhoi.
The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them,
7 Muli-marhang neh a ca te a khuen rhoi tih himbai a tloeng uh thil phoeiah a ngoldoelh thil.
and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
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.
A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread 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.
The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
10 Jerusalem la a kun vaengah khopuei boeih hinghuen tih, “Anih he unim,” a ti uh.
When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 Te vaengah hlangping loh, “Anih he Galilee Nazareth lamkah tonghma Jesuh ni,” a ti uh.
The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth 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 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 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.
He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”
14 Te vaengah amah te mikdael rhoek neh aka khaem rhoek loh Bawkim ah a paan uh tih amih te a hoeih sak.
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 when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were 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?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”
17 Te phoeiah amih te a hnoo phoeiah khopuei lamkah loh Bethany la cet tih pahoi rhaeh.
He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.
18 Khopuei la yueya a bal vaengah tah a bungpong.
Now in the 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)
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 Hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah a ngaihmang uh tih, “Metlamlae thaibu kung tlek a koh ca,” a ti uh.
When the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
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.
Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have 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 Te phoeiah thangthuinah neh vawpvawp na bih uh te tah tangnah neh na dang uh ni,” a ti nah.
All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, 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.
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 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.
Jesus 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 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?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask 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 multitude, for all hold 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.
They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will 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 man had two sons, and he came to the first, and 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.
He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward 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.
He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t 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 his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.
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 didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might 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 man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.
34 A thaih tue a yoei vaengah a sal rhoek te a thaih doe sak ham lotawn rhoek taengla a tueih.
When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
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.
The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
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 treated them the same way.
37 A hnukkhueng ah a capa te amih taengla a tueih tih, “Ka capa tah a yahnah uh bitni,” a ti.
But afterward he sent to them his son, 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 the farmers, when they saw the son, said amongst themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’
39 Te dongah anih te a tuuk uh phoeiah misurdum lamkah loh voelh a haek uh tih a ngawn uh.
So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.
40 Te dongah misurdum kah boeipa te a pawk vaengah lotawn rhoek te metlam a saii eh?” a ti nah.
When therefore the lord 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 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 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 said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvellous 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 tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.
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.
He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
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.
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke 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.
When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
