And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Cekkqawi a venawh, “Nani haiawh ak awm khawk khuina cet nih nawhtaw meqang ca ingkaw a nu ami king ce hu kawm nik ti. A qui ce hlam nih nawh ka venna sawi law nih.
Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose [them], and bring [them] unto me.
3 U ingawm anik kaanaak qawi awhtaw, Bawipa ing ngoe hy, thak law tlaih bit kaw, tina nih,” tinak qawi hy.
And if any [man] say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 Vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih taw tawngha ing anak kqawn hyt ce a soepnaak a hamna ni:
All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 “Zion canu ce kqawn pe, 'Na sangpahrang kawdaw ing meqang awh, meqang noca awh ngawi kawmsaw law kaw,” a tice.
Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 A hubat qawi ce cet nih nawh Jesu ing awi a peek qawi amyihna sai hy nih.
And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 Cekkqawi ing meqang a nu ingkaw ak noca ce hawlaw hy nih, meqang ak khan awh hi phaih pe nih nawh, ak khan awh Jesu ce ngawih sak uhy.
And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set [him] thereon.
8 Thlang kqeng khawzah ing hikhqi ce lam awh phaih pe uhy, thlang vang ing thingbupkhqi ce chawm unawh lam awh phaih pe uhy.
And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed [them] in the way.

And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?

And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Jesu ing bawkim khuina lut nawh bawkim khuiawh ik-oeih ak zawi ingkaw ak thlai thlangkhqi ce hqek hy. Tangka ak hlengkhqi a caboeikhqi awm khup phlet pek khqi hy.
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 A mingmih a venawh, “Ka im ve cykcahnaak im ni, ti kawm uh,” tinawh a qee hyt awm hlai hy, nangmih ingtaw quk-aikhqi awmnaak hyn na sai u hyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
16 ”Naasenkhqi ing amik kqawn ce nak za nu?” tinawh Jesu ce doet uhy. Jesu ing, “Oeih, 'Naasenkhqi ingkaw naasenkhqi am kha awhkawng zoeksangnaak ce ta hawh hyk ti,' a tice am nami noet khawi nawh nu?” tinak khqi hy.
And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 A mingmih ce a cehtaak coengawh, Bethany khaw na cet nawh, cawh ce ip hy.
And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
18 A khawngawi mymcang hqit awh khawk bau na ang hlat tlaih awh ak phoen cawi hy.
Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
19 Lam a keng awhkaw thai thing ce hu nawh, a hang ceh awh ahah doeng kaa taw ikaw awm am hu hy. Thai thing na ce, “Koeh qah qoe voel,” tina hy. Cawh thai thing ce khawng pahoei hy. (aiōn g165)
And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
20 A hubatkhqi ing ami huh awh amik kawpoek kyi hy, “Ikawmyihna thai thing ak khawng paqap hy voei?” ti uhy.
And when the disciples saw [it], they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21 Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, ypvoetnaak a taak kaana cangnaak nami taak awhtaw, thai thing awhkaw sai na ak awm doeng ve am sai thai kawm uk tik saw, vawhkaw tlang a venawh awm, 'Cet nawh tuicunli na thoeih lah,' nami tinaak awhtaw thoeih kaw.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done] to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 Namik cangnaak awhtaw cykcahnaak ing nami thoeh ce hu kawm uk ti, “tinak khqi hy.
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 Jesu ing, “Awi pynoet ni doet khqi cang vang. Nami nim hlat awhtaw, hanakaw saithainaak ing vemyih ik-oeihkhqi ka sai tice nik kqawn pek khqi kawng.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Johan a Baptisma ce hana kaw nu ce? Hana kawng a law, khawk khan nakaw nu am awhtaw thlang a ven awhkawng nu?” tinak khqi hy. Cawh a mimah ingkaw a mimah ce doet qu unawh, “Khawk khan benna kaw niti naak man, 'cawhtaw kawtih amna mik cangnaak,' niti nak khqi kaw.
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
26 Thlang a ven awhkawng ni, niti bai man thlang nik kqih koek bai, thlang kqeng ing Johan ce tawngha ni a mi ti a dawngawh,” ti uhy.
But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 Cedawngawh, “Am sim nyng,” tina uhy. Cawh Jesu ing, “Cawhtaw hana kaw saithainaak ing vemyih ik-oeihkhqi ka sai, tice ap kqawn hly lawt nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 “Ikawmyihna nangmih ing namik poek? Cakpa pakhih ak ta ak thlang pynoet awm hy. A capa a hqam a venawh cet nawh, 'Ka capa, tuhngawi awh misur dum na cet nawh bibi lah,' tina hy.
But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
29 Am cet tikawng,' tina hlai hy ahu na ak kaw hlat nawh cet tlaih hy.
He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
30 Cekcoengawh a pa ce a capa ak chang a venna cet bai nawh ce amyihna tina bai hy. Anih ingtaw, 'cet bit kawng,' tina hy, cehlai am cet hy.
And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
31 “Ce pakhih ak khuiawh u ing nu a pa ak kawngaih a sai?” tinak khqi hy. Cekkhqi ing, “Lamma awhkawng,” tina uhy. Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, mangmu ak cawikungkhqi ingkaw pum ak zawikhqi ing nangmih ve Khawsa qam khuina ni cehtaak khqi kaw ve.
Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Ikawtih Johan ce nangmih dyngnaak lam ak huh na law hy, cehlai nangmih ing am cangna uhyk ti, mangmu ak cawikhqi ingkaw a pum ak zawikhqi ing cangna uhy. Ve ve hu hawh utik seiawm, am zut utik saw anih ce am cangna u hyk ti.
For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen [it], repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
33 Nyhtahnaak awi ak chang pynoet ve ngai bai lah uh: Dum ak takung thlang pynoet awm nawh anih ing misur ce ling hy. Dum ce chung hqeet nawh, misur suinaak ce co nawh a qehnaak ipsang ce sa hy. Cekcoengawh loh phlo thlangkhqi ce dum awh bibi sak aham a ceei coengawh amah ce khawk hla na cet valh hy.
Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
34 Misur qah bih tym a pha awh, misur qah ak bit aham a tyihzawih thlangkhqi ce dum qehkungkhqi venna tyi hy.
And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 Dum awh bi ak bikhqi ing cawhkaw tyihzawihkhqi ce tu unawh pynoet ce vyk uhy, pynoet ce him uhy, pynoet bai ce lung ing khaawng uhy.
And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Cawh dum ak takung ing lamma awhkawng lak awh tyihzawih ak chang khawzah ce tyi bai hy, cehlai dum awhkaw bi ak bikhqi ing ak cyk awhkaw amyihna sai tlaih bai hy.
Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
37 A hukhit nataw cekkhqi venawh amah a capa ce tyi hy. 'Ka capa taw kqihchah na bit kawm uh,' tina poek hy.
But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 Cehlai cekkhqi ing, 'Vetaw qo ak pangkung ni ve. Law lah uh, him unawh a qo lawh pe usih,' ti uhy.
But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
39 Anih ce tu unawh ami him coengawh vawng ak kep na khaawng uhy.
And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and slew [him].
40 Cedawngawh, misur dum ak takung ce law nawh, cawhkaw dum awh bi ak bikhqi ce ikawmyihna a sai kaw? tinak khqi hy.
When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 Cekkhqi ing, “Cawhkaw thlak thawlhkhqi ce ak tlo soeih na him kawmsaw, cawhkaw misur dum ce a qah tym a pha awh ak thaih ak pe hly thai kawi thlak chang a venawh ceei kaw,” tina uhy.
They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out [his] vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesu ing cekkhqi venawh: “Im ak sakungkhqi ing ami qoeng lung ce, a kil awhkaw ak khoeng soeih na awm hawh hy; ve ve Bawipa ing sai nawh, ningnih amik huh awh kawpoek kyi na awm hy, 'tinawh Awihciim awh ak awm ce am nami noet khawi nawh nu?'
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
43 Cedawngawh ka nik kqawn peek khqi, cemyih lawtna nangmih a ven awhkawng Khawsa qam ve lawh na awm kawmsaw ak thaih ak qah sakkungkhqi venawh pe kaw.
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 Vawhkaw lung awh ak bahkhqi taw kqek kawm usaw, lung ing ang tluuk khqi ce a dik a huina neet kaw,' tinak khqi hy.
And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45 Khawsoih boeikhqi ingkaw Farasikhqi ing Jesu a nyhtahnaak awi ce a ming zaak awh cekkhqi akawng ni ak kqawn hy tice sim uhy.
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
46 Anih a mim tunaak thai aham lam ce sui uhy, cehlai thlang kqeng ing anih ce tawngha ni, a mi ti a dawngawh thlang kqeng ce kqih uhy.
But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
