Matthew 21
1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,
Bí wọ́n ti súnmọ́ Jerusalẹmu, tí wọ́n dé itòsí ìlú Betfage ní orí òkè Olifi, Jesu sì rán àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn méjì,
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.
Ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ sí ìletò tó wà ni tòsí yín, ẹ̀yin yóò rí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ kan ti wọ́n so pẹ̀lú ọmọ rẹ̀ lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀. Ẹ tú wọn, kí ẹ sì mú wọn wá fún mi.
3 If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá sì béèrè ìdí tí ẹ fi ń ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹ sá à wí pé, Olúwa fẹ́ lo wọn, òun yóò sì rán wọn lọ.”
4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
Èyí ṣẹlẹ̀ láti mú àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ wòlíì ṣẹ pé:
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.’”
“Ẹ sọ fún ọmọbìnrin Sioni pé, ‘Wò ó, ọba rẹ ń bọ̀ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, ní ìrẹ̀lẹ̀, ó ń gun kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àti lórí ọmọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́.’”
6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn náà sí lọ, wọ́n ṣe bí Jesu ti sọ fún wọn.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.
Wọ́n sì mú kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ náà pẹ̀lú ọmọ rẹ̀, wọ́n tẹ́ aṣọ lé e, Jesu si jókòó lórí rẹ̀.
8 A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
Ọ̀pọ̀ ìjọ ènìyàn sì tẹ́ aṣọ wọn sí ojú ọ̀nà níwájú rẹ̀, ẹlòmíràn ṣẹ́ ẹ̀ka igi wẹ́wẹ́ wọ́n sì tẹ́ wọn sí ojú ọ̀nà.
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!”
Ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ń lọ níwájú rẹ̀ àti lẹ́yìn rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ń kígbe pé, “Hosana fún ọmọ Dafidi!” “Olùbùkún ni fún ẹni tí ó ń bọ̀ ní orúkọ Olúwa!” “Hosana ní ibi gíga jùlọ!”
10 When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
Bí Jesu sì ti ń wọ Jerusalẹmu, gbogbo ìlú mì tìtì, àwọn ènìyàn bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í bi ara wọn pé, “Ta nìyìí?”
11 The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
Ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sì dáhùn pé, “Èyí ni Jesu, wòlíì náà láti Nasareti ti Galili.”
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.
Jesu sì wọ inú tẹmpili, Ó sì lé àwọn ti ń tà àti àwọn tí ń rà níbẹ̀ jáde. Ó yí tábìlì àwọn onípàṣípàrọ̀ owó dànù, àti tábìlì àwọn tí ó ń ta ẹyẹlé.
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.’”
Ó wí fún wọn pé, “A sá à ti kọ ọ́ pé, ‘Ilé àdúrà ni a ó máa pe ilé mi,’ ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ti sọ ọ́ di ibùdó àwọn ọlọ́ṣà.”
14 The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.
A sì mú àwọn afọ́jú àti àwọn arọ wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní tẹmpili, ó sì mú wọ́n láradá.
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!”
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin rí àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu ńlá wọ̀nyí, ti wọ́n sì tún ń gbọ́ tí àwọn ọmọdé ń kígbe nínú tẹmpili pé, “Hosana fún ọmọ Dafidi,” inú bí wọn.
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’?”
Wọ́n sì bí i pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ gbọ́ nǹkan tí àwọn ọmọdé wọ̀nyí ń sọ?” Jesu sí dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àbí ẹ̀yin kò kà á pé, “‘Láti ẹnu àwọn ọmọdé àti àwọn ọmọ ọmú, ni a ó ti máa yìn mí’?”
17 Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.
Ó sì fi wọ́n sílẹ̀, ó lọ sí Betani. Níbẹ̀ ni ó dúró ní òru náà.
18 In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.
Ní òwúrọ̀ bí ó ṣe ń padà sí ìlú, ebi ń pa á.
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)
Ó sì ṣàkíyèsí igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ kan lẹ́bàá ojú ọ̀nà, ó sì lọ wò ó bóyá àwọn èso wà lórí rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹyọ kan, ewé nìkan ni ó wà lórí rẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni ó sì wí fún igi náà pé, “Kí èso má tún so lórí rẹ mọ́ láti òní lọ àti títí láé.” Lójúkan náà igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ náà sì gbẹ. (aiōn g165)
20 When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”
Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ rí èyí, ẹnu yà wọn, wọ́n béèrè pé, “Báwo ni igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ náà ṣe gbẹ kíákíá?”
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.
Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, bí ẹ̀yin bá lè ní ìgbàgbọ́ láìṣiyèméjì, nígbà náà ẹ̀yin yóò lè ṣe irú ohun tí a ṣe sí igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́, ẹ̀yin yóò lè sọ fún òkè yìí pé, ‘Yí ipò padà sínú Òkun,’ yóò sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
Bí ẹ̀yin bá gbàgbọ́, ẹ̀yin lè rí ohunkóhun tí ẹ bá béèrè nínú àdúrà gbà.”
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?”
Jesu wọ tẹmpili, nígbà tí ó ń kọ́ni, àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù tọ̀ ọ́ wá. Wọ́n béèrè pé “nípa àṣẹ wo ni o fi ń ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí? Ta ni ó sì fún ọ ni àṣẹ yìí?”
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.
Jesu sì dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi yóò si bí yin léèrè ohun kan, bí ẹ̀yin bá lé sọ fún mi, nígbà náà èmi yóò sọ fún yín, àṣẹ tí Èmi fi ń ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
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?’
Níbo ni ìtẹ̀bọmi Johanu ti wa? Láti ọ̀run wá ni, tàbí láti ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn.” Wọ́n sì bá ara wọn gbèrò pé, “Bí àwa bá wí pé láti ọ̀run wá ni, òun yóò wí fún wa pé, ‘Èéha ti ṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò fi gbà á gbọ́?’
26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”
Ní ìdàkejì, bí àwa bá sì sọ pé, ‘Láti ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn, àwa bẹ̀rù ìjọ ènìyàn, nítorí gbogbo wọ́n ka Johanu sí wòlíì.’”
27 So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
Nítorí náà wọ́n sì dá Jesu lóhùn pé, “Àwa kò mọ̀.” Nígbà náà ni ó wí pé, “Nítorí èyí, èmi kò ní sọ àṣẹ tí èmi fi ń ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún yín.
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.’
“Kí ni ẹ rò nípa eléyìí? Ọkùnrin kan ti ó ní àwọn ọmọkùnrin méjì. Ó sọ fún èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n pé, ‘Ọmọ, lọ ṣiṣẹ́ nínú ọgbà àjàrà lónìí.’
29 ‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.
“Ó sì dá baba rẹ̀ lóhùn pé, ‘Èmi kò ní í lọ,’ ṣùgbọ́n níkẹyìn ó yí ọkàn padà, ó sì lọ.
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.
“Nígbà náà ni baba yìí tún sọ fún èyí àbúrò pé, ‘Lọ ṣiṣẹ́ ní oko.’ Ọmọ náà sì sọ pé, ‘Èmi yóò lọ, baba,’ ṣùgbọ́n kò lọ rárá.
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.
“Nínú àwọn méjèèjì yìí, èwo ni ó ṣe ìfẹ́ baba wọn?” Gbogbo wọn sì fohùn ṣọ̀kan pé, “Èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n ni.” Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, àwọn agbowó òde àti àwọn panṣágà yóò wọ ìjọba ọ̀run síwájú yín.
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.
Nítorí Johanu tọ́ yin wá láti fi ọ̀nà òdodo hàn yín, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò gbà á gbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn agbowó òde àti àwọn panṣágà ronúpìwàdà, bí ó tilẹ̀ ṣe pé ẹ rí àwọn ohun tí ń ṣẹlẹ̀ wọ̀nyí, ẹ kọ̀ láti ronúpìwàdà, ẹ kò gbà á gbọ́.”
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.
“Ẹ gbọ́ òwe mìíràn, Baálé ilé kan tí ó gbin ọgbà àjàrà, ó ṣe ọgbà yìí ká, ó wá ibi ìfúntí sínú rẹ̀, ó kọ́ ilé ìṣọ́. Ó sì fi oko náà ṣe àgbàtọ́jú fún àwọn àgbẹ̀ kan, ó sì lọ sí ìrìnàjò.
34 When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.
Nígbà ti àkókò ìkórè súnmọ́, ó rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sí àwọn àgbẹ̀ náà láti gba èyí ti ó jẹ tirẹ̀ wá.
35 But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
“Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn alágbàtọ́jú sì mú àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọn lu ẹni kìn-ín-ní, wọn pa èkejì, wọ́n si sọ ẹ̀kẹta ní òkúta.
36 Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.
Ó sì tún rán àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mìíràn àwọn tí ó ju ti ìṣáájú lọ. Wọ́n sì túnṣe bí ti àkọ́kọ́ sí àwọn wọ̀nyí pẹ̀lú.
37 Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
Níkẹyìn, baálé ilé yìí rán ọmọ rẹ̀ pàápàá sí wọn. Ó wí pé, ‘Wọn yóò bu ọlá fún ọmọ mi.’
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.’
“Ṣùgbọ́n bí àwọn alágbàtọ́jú wọ̀nyí ti rí ọmọ náà lókèèrè, wọ́n wí fún ara wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni àrólé náà. Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a pa á, kí a sì jogún rẹ̀.’
39 So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
Wọ́n sì wọ́ ọ jáde kúrò nínú ọgbà àjàrà náà, wọ́n sì pa á.
40 Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”
“Ǹjẹ́ nígbà tí olúwa ọgbà àjàrà bá dé, kí ni yóò ṣe sí àwọn olùṣọ́gbà wọ̀n-ọn-nì?”
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.”
Wọ́n wí pé, “Òun yóò pa àwọn ènìyàn búburú náà run, yóò sì fi ọgbà àjàrà rẹ̀ fún àwọn alágbàtọ́jú mìíràn tí yóò fún un ní èso tirẹ̀ lásìkò ìkórè.”
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’?
Jesu wí fún wọ́n pé, “Àbí ẹ̀yin kò kà á nínú Ìwé Mímọ́ pé: “‘Òkúta tí àwọn ọ̀mọ̀lé kọ̀sílẹ̀, ni ó di pàtàkì igun ilé; iṣẹ́ Olúwa ni èyí, ó sì jẹ́ ìyanu ní ojú wa’?
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.
“Nítorí náà èmi wí fún yín, a ó gba ìjọba Ọlọ́run lọ́wọ́ yín, a ó sì fi fún àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí yóò máa mú èso rẹ̀ wá.
44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
Ẹni tí ó bá ṣubú lu òkúta yìí yóò di fífọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí òun bá ṣubú lù yóò lọ̀ ọ́ lúúlúú.”
45 When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.
Nígbà tí àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn Farisi gbọ́ òwe Jesu, wọ́n mọ̀ wí pé ó ń sọ̀rọ̀ nípa àwọn.
46 Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
Wọn wá ọ̀nà láti mú un, ṣùgbọ́n wọn bẹ̀rù ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn tí wọ́n gba Jesu gẹ́gẹ́ bí wòlíì.
