Matthew 21
1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,
Jerusalem taengla a yoei uh vaengah Olives tlang kah Bethphage la pawk uh. Te vaengah Jesuh loh a hnukbang panit te a tueih tih,
2 saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt beside her. Untie them and bring them to Me.
“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.
3 If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
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.
4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
He he a om daengah ni tonghma loh a thui te a soep eh.
5 “Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”
“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.
6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
Hnukbang rhoi te cet rhoi tih Jesuh kah a thuinuet bangla a saii rhoi.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.
Muli-marhang neh a ca te a khuen rhoi tih himbai a tloeng uh thil phoeiah a ngoldoelh thil.
8 A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
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.
9 The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
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.
10 When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
Jerusalem la a kun vaengah khopuei boeih hinghuen tih, “Anih he unim,” a ti uh.
11 The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Te vaengah hlangping loh, “Anih he Galilee Nazareth lamkah tonghma Jesuh ni,” a ti uh.
12 Then Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
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.
13 And He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”
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.
14 The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.
Te vaengah amah te mikdael rhoek neh aka khaem rhoek loh Bawkim ah a paan uh tih amih te a hoeih sak.
15 But the chief priests and scribes were indignant when they saw the wonders He performed and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”
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.
16 “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked. “Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read: ‘From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise’?”
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.
17 Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.
Te phoeiah amih te a hnoo phoeiah khopuei lamkah loh Bethany la cet tih pahoi rhaeh.
18 In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.
Khopuei la yueya a bal vaengah tah a bungpong.
19 Seeing a fig tree by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. “May you never bear fruit again!” He said. And immediately the tree withered. (aiōn g165)
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)
20 When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”
Hnukbang rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah a ngaihmang uh tih, “Metlamlae thaibu kung tlek a koh ca,” a ti uh.
21 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.
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.
22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
Te phoeiah thangthuinah neh vawpvawp na bih uh te tah tangnah neh na dang uh ni,” a ti nah.
23 When Jesus returned to the temple courts and began to teach, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to Him. “By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You this authority?”
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.
24 “I will also ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
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.
25 What was the source of John’s baptism? Was it from heaven or from men?” They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
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.
26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”
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.
27 So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
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.
28 But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first one and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’
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.
29 ‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.
Te vaengah te long te a doo tih, 'Ka ngaih pawh,’ a ti nah. Tedae a hnukkhueng ah yut tih koep cet.
30 Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.
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.
31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.
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.
32 For John came to you in a righteous way and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.
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.
33 Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a tower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.
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.
34 When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.
A thaih tue a yoei vaengah a sal rhoek te a thaih doe sak ham lotawn rhoek taengla a tueih.
35 But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
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.
36 Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.
Te phoeiah sal tloe te lamhma kah lakah muep a tueih dae amih te khaw a saii uh tangkhuet.
37 Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
A hnukkhueng ah a capa te amih taengla a tueih tih, “Ka capa tah a yahnah uh bitni,” a ti.
38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take his inheritance.’
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.
39 So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
Te dongah anih te a tuuk uh phoeiah misurdum lamkah loh voelh a haek uh tih a ngawn uh.
40 Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”
Te dongah misurdum kah boeipa te a pawk vaengah lotawn rhoek te metlam a saii eh?” a ti nah.
41 “He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his share of the fruit at harvest time.”
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.
42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
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.
43 Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
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
44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
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.
45 When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.
Tedae khosoihham rhoek neh Pharisee rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah, anih kah nuettahnah te amih kawng ni a. thui tila a ming uh.
46 Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
Te dongah anih te tuuk hamla a mae uh dae Jesuh te tonghma la a khueh uh dongah hlangping te a rhih uh.
