Matthew 21
1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Wa Yesu ni mrli koh ma ba hi ka tie whiewhiere ni Urushalima nda hi ni ngblu u Zaitun u Betafaji, u Yesu ka ton mrli koh ma ha bari,
2 saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with it; loose [them] and lead [them] to me.
nda hla ni bawu, “Hi ni vi gbu u whiewhiere yi u bi toh ba lo nankpron mba vren nankpron bari zi. Si ba ndi nji ba ye nimu.
3 And if any one say anything to you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them, and straightway he will send them.
Indrjori nita mye yi kpye, bika hla ndi, 'Bachi ni tie ndu niwu,' u ndji kima ni gbla nno yi ni mba.”
4 But all this came to pass, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
Bati wayi ni ndu ku gyren me ni tre wa ba hlawu ni nyu anabia. A tre ndi,
5 Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh to thee, meek, and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
“Hla ni vrenwa u Sihiyona, 'Toh yi, Ichu mbi si ye ni yi,' U katu grji nda hon ni nankpron wa ahi vren maa.'”
6 But the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus had ordered them,
U mrli koh ma ba hi nda ka tie towa Yesu a hla ni bawu'a.
7 brought the ass and the colt and put their garments upon them, and he sat on them.
Ba ka nji nankpron a mba vren maa ye, nda vu ba nklon ba sa nitu mba, u Yesu ka hon son ni tu kpi mba.
8 But a very great crowd strewed their own garments on the way, and others kept cutting down branches from the trees and strewing them on the way.
Imbru gbugbu ndji ba ba ka ba nklon mba l'ba ni wu nitu nkon, u bari baka tsen vunvu kunkron sru ni nkon a.
9 And the crowds who went before him and who followed cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed [be] he who comes in the name of [the] Lord; hosanna in the highest.
U ijbu ndji biwa ba he ni ko shishi ma, ni biwa ba he ko gon maa, baka kla ngblo nyu nda ni hla ndi, “Hosanna ni vren Doda! Wawu wa a si ye nimi ndi Bachi, ahe ni lulu! Hosanna hi ni shu babran!”
10 And as he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying, Who is this?
Niwa Yesu a ri ni Urushalima u muu ma ka suni gbua u ba tre ndi, “Ihi nha mu yi?”
11 And the crowds said, This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee.
U ijbu ndji ba ba saa ndi, “Iwayi hi Yesu anabi wa a rji ni Galilia.”
12 And Jesus entered into the temple [of God], and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those that sold the doves.
U Yesu ka ri ni Hekali. A zu bi le ni bi le ni rju nda tru ba tebru u bi sran nklen ni u bi le tatabara (nghwu)
13 And he says to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers.
A hla bawu, “Ba nha ndi, 'Ikoh mu ba yowu nda hi koh u aduwa.' u bi kawu tie fron u bi ybi.”
14 And blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
U bi fyen ni bi c'bi za baka ye niwu ni Hekalia wa'a den ba.
15 And when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders which he wrought, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant,
Niwa Prist bi ninkon ba ni bi tsro ataura ba toh ba kpyi wa a tie u ba manji mba wakran nda lawo mrli ba bubu kla ngblo nyu nimi Hekali nda ni tre, “Hosanna ni vren Doda,” u baka vra nfu.
16 and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
Baka hla niwu, “U si wo kpye wa ndji biyi ba ki trea?” Yesu a hla bawu, “Ee! U bina kra na ndi, 'Rji ni nyu kpran mrli ni bi ma sisan u yo gbyre san?”
17 And leaving them he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and there he passed the night.
U Yesu ka kab don nda rju hi ni kiekle gbu Betani nda kru ni kima.
18 But early in the morning, as he came back into the city, he hungered.
Ni mble a kma si ye ni gbua, u iyon ka tiwu.
19 And seeing one fig-tree in the way, he came to it and found on it nothing but leaves only. And he says to it, Let there be never more fruit of thee for ever. And the fig-tree was immediately dried up. (aiōn g165)
A to nci mbua ni nyu nkon, nda hi ni kima nda hi ni nci ma nda ka toh a hi kpukpa vunvu yi hama ni klo. A hla niwu, “Na la klo ngana sese kase,” u mbua tsi klu (aiōn g165)
20 And when the disciples saw [it], they wondered, saying, How immediately is the fig-tree dried up!
Niwa mrli koh ma ba toh a, ba manji ma wakran nda tre, “Anihe mu rli imbua tsi klu?”
21 And Jesus answering said to them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what [is done] to the fig-tree, but even if ye should say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and be thou cast into the sea, it shall come to pass.
Yesu a saa nda hla bawu, “Njanji mu mi hla yiwu, bita he ni nkpon nji ndi na rju ni sron na, bina tie kpye wa ba tie ni mbua yi a megyen, bi hla ni ngblu yi, “Chu hi ku ni mma, u wani he tokima.
22 And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Ikpye wa bi mye ni aduwa ndi nyme, bi kpa.”
23 And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him [as he was] teaching, saying, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
Niwa Yesu ari ni hekalia, u Prist bi ninkon ni cice ba ye niwu kasia tsro nda tre, “Ani ngbengblen rime u tie kpyi biyi, wa hi nha nno wu gbengblen yi?
24 And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things:
Yesu a saa nda hla ni bawu, “I me ngame mi mye yi imye ri. Bita hla mu ime me mi hla ni yiwu ka ni ngbengblen rime mi tie kpyi biyi.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? of heaven or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say to us, Why then have ye not believed him?
Batisma u Yohana - a rji ni mma meyi? A rji ni shulu ka a rji ni ba ndji? U baka sron mu ni kpa mba, nda tre, “Kita tre ndi, a rji ni shulu, ani hla tawu, wa ngye tie bina kpau nyme na?
26 but if we should say, Of men, we fear the crowd, for all hold John for a prophet.
U kie ta hla, 'a rji ni ndji,' kie klu sissri ndji, wa ba toh Yohana ahi anabi.”
27 And answering Jesus they said, We do not know. He also said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
U baka saa ni Yesu na hla, “Kie na toh na.” Wawu ngame hla ni bawu ndi, “Ime me mina hla yiwu ka ni ngbengblen rime mi tie kpi biyi na.
28 But what think ye? A man had two children, and coming to the first he said, Child, go to-day, work in [my] vineyard.
U biki ta mre nihe? Indji a he ni mri lon ha. Ahi ni u mumla nda tre, 'vrenmu, hi tie ndu ni rju luwa.'
29 And he answering said, I will not; but afterwards repenting himself he went.
Ivren a ka saa nda tre, Mi na hina aye tamre ni ko gon nda ye hi.
30 And coming to the second he said likewise; and he answering said, I [go], sir, and went not.
U igua hi ni vren u ha nda hla wu toh u rima. Ivren yi a saa nda hla, 'Mi hi, Tietie, nda na ye hi na.
31 Which of the two did the will of the father? They say [to him], The first. Jesus says to them, Verily I say unto you that the tax-gatherers and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
A hi rime nimi mri ha ba a tie kpye wa tie mba a son a?” Baka hla, “U mumlaa.” Yesu ka hla ni bawu, “Njanji mu mi hla ni yiwu, bi kpa ban ni bi tie ntran ba ri ni gbu u chu Rji guchi ni yiwu.
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the tax-gatherers and the harlots believed him; but ye when ye saw [it] repented not yourselves afterwards to believe him.
Yohana a ye niyi ni ngon u ndindi, u bika na nyme niwu na, u bi kpa' ban ni bi tie ntran baka nyme niwu. U biyi wa bi toh towa, bi na yo ru ru ndi nyme ni wu na.
33 Hear another parable: There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and made a fence round it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.
La wo njo ri ngari. Indji ri ahe ni rju. A sen kpyi ni mima, nda hrawu kagon ma, nda shi juju u shbi ma klo inabi ni rjua, nda la mme koh ri guglo ma nda nno rjua ni wo bi ron bari. Nda hi ni gbu ri.
34 But when the time of fruit drew near, he sent his bondmen to the husbandmen to receive his fruits.
Wa nton u shbi inabi a tie whiewhiere, a ton gran ma bari hi ndu ba kpa klo ma nji wu.
35 And the husbandmen took his bondmen, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
U bi ya rju'a baka vu gran ma ba nda tsi ri mba, nda wuu ri nda ta rima ni tita.
36 Again he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner.
U ndji u rju'a ala ton gran ma bari wa ba nna bi mumla, u bi ron rju'a baka tie ni bawu towa ba tie ni bi mumla'a.
37 And at last he sent to them his son, saying, They will have respect for my son.
Indji u rju'a a ye ton vren ma hi ni ko gon bi mu ba, nda tre, ba wo vren mu'a.
38 But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and possess his inheritance.
U wa bi ron ba ba toh vren'a, ba tre ni kpamba, Iwayi yi hi wa ani son nyu ma, ye, kie wuu ndi kpa rju'a.
39 And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
U baka vu rju ni rju'a taga nda wuu.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what shall he do to those husbandmen?
U indji u rju'a nita ye, ani tie bi ron ba ni he?
41 They say to him, He will miserably destroy those evil [men], and let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
U ba hla wu, “Ani wuu meme bi ron ba ni kpukpo ya,' nda ka rju'a nno bi ron bari wa ba ka hanwu ni nton wa inebi tie a.
42 Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: this is of [the] Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
Yesu a hla ni bwu, “Bi na kra ni tre Irji na, 'Tita wa bi mme ba kamba niwu a ka tie tita u nfron ma. Iwa yi ahi tie u Irji nda bi ni shishi mbu?
43 Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.
Nitu kimayi me hla yiwu, ba kpa gbu u chu Irji niyi nda ka nno u ko ra ri wa ani ti ndindia.
44 And he that falls on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
U wa a rjoku nitu tita yia, ani chon tie rjuru me. U nitu ndji wa ku'a ani Myrian wu.”
45 And the chief priests and the Pharisees, having heard his parables, knew that he spoke about them.
Wa Prist bi ninkon ba ni ba Farisawa ba wo njo maa, baka toh nda asi tre nitu mba.
46 And seeking to lay hold of him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they held him for a prophet.
Ba wa nkon u vu nda klu sissri jbu ndji ba, nitu wa indji ba ban wu nda a hi anabi.
