Mark 11
1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two of His disciples
Esi wogogo Betfage kple Betania le Yerusalem gbɔ, eye wova ɖo Amito la gbɔ la, Yesu dɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃la eve be woado ŋgɔ na yewo.
2 and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as soon as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it here.
Egblɔ na wo be, “Miyi kɔƒe si le mia ŋgɔ la me. Ne miege ɖe eme teti ko la, miakpɔ tedzivi si womedo kpɔ o la le ka me. Mitui ne miakplɔe vɛ.
3 If anyone asks, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it shortly.’”
Ne ame aɖe bia mi be nu ka ta miele ka ɖemee hã la, migblɔ nɛ ko be, ‘Aƒetɔ lae le ehiãm, eye aɖoe ɖa enumake.’”
4 So they went and found the colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. They untied it,
Nusrɔ̃la eveawo dze mɔ, eye wokpɔ tedzivi la le ka me le aƒe aɖe godo. Esi wonɔ ka tumee la,
5 and some who were standing there asked, “Why are you untying the colt?”
ame siwo nɔ tsitre ɖe afi ma la bia wo be, “Nu ka ta miele ka tum tedzivi la ɖo?”
6 The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.
Wogblɔ nya siwo Yesu be woagblɔ la na wo.
7 Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.
Ale wokplɔ tedzivi la vɛ na Yesu eye nusrɔ̃lawo ɖe woƒe awuwo ɖo ɖe edzi be wòadoe.
8 Many in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut from the fields.
Ame geɖewo ɖo woƒe avɔwo ɖe mɔa dzi le eŋgɔ be wòazɔ wo dzi, eye ɖewo hã ŋe atilɔwo ɖo ɖe mɔa dzi nɛ fũu.
9 The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”
Eya ŋutɔ nɔ titina, ame aɖewo nɔ eŋgɔ, eye ɖewo hã nɔ eyome, eye wo katã wonɔ ɣli dom dzidzɔtɔe be, “Hosana!” “Woyra ame si gbɔna le Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkɔ me.”
10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
“Woakafu Mawu be wòtrɔ Mía Fofo David ƒe fiaɖuƒe la vɛ na mí!” “Hosana le dziƒo ʋĩi.”
11 Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
Ale wòge ɖe Yerusalem dua me, eye woyi gbedoxɔ la me. Etsa ŋku godoo le teƒea, lé ŋku ɖe nu sia nu ŋu tsitotsito, eye wòtrɔ dzo yi Betania kple nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo elabena zã nɔ dodom.
12 The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
Esi ŋu ke ŋdi, eye wotrɔ tso Betania gbɔna la, dɔ wu Yesu le mɔa dzi.
13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.
Ekpɔ gboti aɖe si da ama ŋutɔ, ale wòte ɖe eŋu be yeakpɔ kutsetse aɖe le edzi hã, gake aŋgbawo koe nɔ ati la dzi, elabena eƒe kutseɣi meɖo o.
14 Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement. (aiōn g165)
Yesu ƒo fi de ati la be, “Ame aɖeke magaɖu wò kutsetse aɖeke kpɔ gbeɖe o.” Nusrɔ̃lawo hã se nya si wògblɔ la. (aiōn g165)
15 When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
Esi wova ɖo Yerusalem la, egayi gbedoxɔa ƒe xɔxɔnu, eye wòde asi nudzralawo kple nuƒlelawo nyanya do goe me. Emu gaɖɔlilawo ƒe kplɔ̃wo ƒu anyi, ekaka akpakpadzralawo ƒe zikpuiwo,
16 And He would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.
eye meɖe mɔ be ame aɖeke natsɔ naneke ato gbedoxɔ la me o.
17 Then Jesus began to teach them, and He declared, “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.’”
Egay eƒe nufiafia dzi hegblɔ na ameawo be, “Ɖe womeŋlɔe ɖi be, ‘Nye gbedoxɔ anye gbedoɖaƒe na dukɔwo katã oa’? Gake miawo mietsɔe wɔ ‘fiafitɔwo ƒe nɔƒee.’”
18 When the chief priests and scribes heard this, they looked for a way to kill Him. For they were afraid of Him, because the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching.
Esi nunɔlagãwo kple sefialawo se nu si Yesu wɔ la, wode aɖaŋu le ale si woawɔ awui la ŋuti. Ke wonɔ vɔvɔ̃m, elabena ame geɖewo kpɔ dzidzɔ le Yesu ƒe nufiafia ŋuti.
19 And when evening came, Jesus and His disciples went out of the city.
Abe ale si wowɔna ɖaa ene la, Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo do go le dua me le fiẽ me lɔƒo.
20 As they were walking back in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from its roots.
Esi ŋu ke ŋdi la, wova to gboti si Yesu ƒo fi de la ŋuti, eye wokpɔ be, ati la yrɔ sũu.
21 Peter remembered it and said, “Look, Rabbi! The fig tree You cursed has withered.”
Kasia Petro ɖo ŋku nya si Yesu gblɔ na ati la dzi, eye wògblɔ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, Nufiala! Ati si nèƒo fi de la yrɔ!”
22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.
Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Mixɔ Mawu dzi se.
23 “Truly I tell you that if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and has no doubt in his heart but believes that it will happen, it will be done for him.
Nyateƒenya wònye be ne ame aɖe agblɔ na to sia be, ‘Yi, nàtsɔ ɖokuiwò ƒu gbe ɖe atsiaƒu me’ eye ɖikeke mele eƒe dzi me o la, ava eme nɛ.
24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Eya ta mele egblɔm na mi be nu sia nu si miabia to gbedodoɖa me la, mixɔe se be miaxɔe, eye wòaka mia si hã.
25 And when you stand to pray, if you hold anything against another, forgive it, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your trespasses as well.”
Gake ne miebe yewoado gbe ɖa la, mitsɔ ame siwo ƒe nyawo le dɔ me na mi la ke wo gbã be mia Fofo si le dziƒo hã natsɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake mi. [
Ke ne mietsɔ ke amewo o la, mia Fofo hã matsɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake mi o.]”
27 After their return to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking in the temple courts, and the chief priests, scribes, and elders came up to Him.
Wogava ɖo Yerusalem, eye esi wònɔ tsa ɖim le gbedoxɔ la me la, nunɔlagãwo kple agbalẽfialawo kpakple Yudatɔwo ƒe amegã bubuwo va tui hebiae be,
28 “By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You the authority to do them?”
“Ŋusẽ kae nètsɔ le nu siawo wɔm, eye ame kae na ŋusẽ sia wò?”
29 “I will ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Hafi maɖo nya sia ŋu na mi la, miawo hã miɖo nye biabia sia ŋu nam.
30 John’s baptism—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me!”
Yohanes ƒe mawutsidede ta na ame ɖe, Dziƒo wòtso loo alo amewo gbɔ wòtsoa? Miɖo eŋu nam!”
31 They deliberated among themselves what they should answer: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
Wodzro nya sia me le wo ɖokuiwo dome, eye wogblɔ be, “Ne míegblɔ be, ‘Etso dziƒo’ la, abia mí be, ‘Ekema nu ka ŋutie miexɔ edzi se o?’
32 But if we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John truly was a prophet.
Gake ne míegblɔ be, ‘Amewo gbɔ wòtso la’ …” (Wovɔ̃ be ʋunyaʋunya adzɔ, elabena amewo katã xɔe se be Yohanes nye nyagblɔɖila.)
33 So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
Esia ta wogblɔ nɛ be, “Míenya o.” Yesu hã gblɔ na wo be, “Ekema nye hã nyemagblɔ ŋusẽ si metsɔ le nu siawo wɔm la na mi o.”
