Matthew 21
1 And when they came near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Jesuh ja axüisaw he Jerusalema law u lü Olip mcung, Betphake ngnam ami pha law üng Jesuh naw, “Axüisaw xawi nghngih maa jah na tüih lü,
2 saying to them, “Go on into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey bound, and a colt with her—having loosed, you bring to Me;
nani maa vekia ngnama cit ni lü, sanghngaksaü mat ja, a ca ami jah kphung nani hmuh khai. Jah sut ni lü ka veia nani jah lawpüi vai.”
3 and if anyone may say anything to you, you will say that the LORD has need of them, and immediately He will send them.”
Khyang naw a ning jah kthäh üng, “Bawipanaw jah hlüei ve,” nani ti vai. Acunüng angxita ning jah tüih law khai ni,” a ti.
4 And all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying,
Ahin avan cun sahma naw a na pyen law,
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King comes to you, meek, and mounted on a donkey, and a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.”
“Zion mlüh üng mtheh ua, Tenga, na Sangpuxang na veia law ve! Ani cun a mlung nem lü sanghngaksaü, ja sanghngaksaüca xawia khana ngcumki,” ti akümkawinak vaia kyaki.
6 And the disciples having gone and having done as Jesus commanded them,
Acunüng, axüisaw xawi naw cit ni lü, Jesuh naw a jah mtheha mäiha ani va pawh.
7 brought the donkey and the colt, and put on them their garments, and set [Him] on them;
Sanghngaksaü ja a ca cun jah lawpüi u lü, ami suisake a khana jah mtaikie naw, Jesuh cun a khana ami ngawhsak.
8 and the very great multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way,
Khyangpänu naw ami suisak lama ami jah phah üng, avang naw nghleng hnahe jah ksawm u lü jah phahkie.
9 and the multitudes who were going before, and who were following, were crying, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is He who is coming in the Name of the LORD; Hosanna in the highest!”
Khyangpä a ma a na citkie ja amät läki he naw, “Hosana Davita Capa, Bawipa ngming am lawki josennak be se! A hlüngnak säih khankhawa Hosana,” ti lü, ngpyangkie.
10 And He having entered into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?”
Jerusalem a pha law üng, mlüh üngka ami van üicai u lü, “Ani u ni?” ti lü pyenkie.
11 And the multitudes said, “This is Jesus the prophet, who [is] from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Khyangpänu naw, “Hin cun sahma Jesuh, Kalile hne, Nazaret mlüh üngka ni,” ami ti.
12 And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast forth all those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers He overturned, and the seats of those selling the doves,
Jesuh Temple k'uma lut lü Temple k’uma jawitukie ja kheikie jah sät lü tangka mhlaikie ja müm jawikiea ngawhnake, avan a jah hukxänin.
13 and He says to them, “It has been written: My house will be called a house of prayer; but you made it a den of robbers.”
Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Cangcim üng, ‘Ka im cun ktaiyünak ima sui khaie’ ti lü ng’yuki, nangmi naw mpyukeiea ngthupnak ima pyang ve uki” a ti.
14 And there came to Him blind and lame men in the temple, and He healed them,
Amikmü ja akxoe, temple k'uma law u se Jesuh naw a jah mdaw be.
15 and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” were much displeased;
Ktaiyü ngvaie ja Thum mtheie naw müncanksee a pawhmsah ja, hnasene naw, “Hosana Davita Capa,” ti lü, ami ngpyang hmuh u lü aktäa ami mlung soki.
16 and they said to Him, “Do You hear what these say?” And Jesus says to them, “Yes, did you never read, that, Out of the mouth of babies and sucklings You prepared praise?”
Jesuh üng, “Amimi naw i pyenkie ti na jah ngjaki aw?” ami ti. Jesuh naw, “Ä, hnasene ja cihtui k’aw naca hea mpyawng üng mhlünmtainak na yahki ni,” ti lü ng’yuki am nami khe khawiki aw?” a ti.
17 And having left them, He went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there,
Jesuh naw jah hawih hüt lü Bethanih mlüha cit lü acuna mthan cun acuia ipki.
18 and in the morning turning back to the city, He hungered,
Ngawilama mlüh da a nghlat law be üng, a ei ngaih lawki.
19 and having seen a certain fig tree on the way, He came to it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and He says to it, “No more fruit may be from you—throughout the age”; and instantly the fig tree withered. (aiōn g165)
Kthei thing lam peia hmu lü kthei thing da cit kyawki, am ngthei lü a hnah däk ve se a hmuh. “Käh ngthei ti sümsüm kawpi,” ti se, acunüng kthei thing cun ngjai lü thiei lawki. (aiōn g165)
20 And the disciples having seen, wondered, saying, “How did the fig tree instantly wither?”
Axüisawe naw acun ami hmuh üng, “Ihawkba Fik dung akjangnua khyawngei lawki ni?” ti lü müncankie.
21 And Jesus answering said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig tree will you do, but even if to this mountain you may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it will come to pass;
Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, jumei kcang lü mlung hlawthlatnak am nami tak üng hina Fikdung däk am ni lü, hina mcung üng, ‘Hin üngka naw ngnawn lü mliktuia kya se’ nami ti üng nami tia mäiha kya khai.”
22 and all—as much as you may ask in the prayer, believing, you will receive.”
Nami jumei üng nami täsam naküt nami yah khai,” a ti.
23 And He having come into the temple, there came to Him when teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people, saying, “By what authority do You do these things? And who gave You this authority?”
Templea law be lü a jah mthei k'um üng, ktaiyü ngvaie ja a xüe a veia law u lü, “Ahin he jah pawh vaia ia ana ja na tak? U naw ahin he na jah pawhak vai ana a ning pet ja?” ti lü ami kthäh.
24 And Jesus answering said to them, “I will ask you—I also—one word, which if you may tell Me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things;
Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Kei pi mat däk ka ning jah kthäh khai. Nami na msang üng, kei naw pi ahin he ka jah pawhnak vaia ia ana ka tak cun ka ning jah mtheh khai.”
25 the immersion of John, from where was it? From Heaven, or from men?” And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, “If we should say, From Heaven, He will say to us, Why, then, did you not believe him?
Johana a baptican hin hawia khyüh lawki ni? Pamhnam üngkhyüh mä. Khyang üngkhyüh mä” a ti. Amimäte naw ngcuh u lü, “I mi ti khai ni. Pamhnam üngka naw ni” mi ti üng mä, “Ise Johan am nami kcangnaki ni,” ti hlü kbak.
26 And if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”
“Khyang üngka naw” mi ti üng pi khyang he naw i ami pawh vai ti kyühei phyaki. Isetiüng, khyang avan naw Johan cun sahma mat ti ksingki he,” ami ti.
27 And answering Jesus they said, “We have not known.” He said to them—He also, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Jesuh üng, “Am ksing ve u nawng,” ami ti. Jesuh naw, “Kei pi ia ana am ka pawh ti am ning jah mtheh hlü veng,” a ti.
28 And what do you think? A man had two children, and having come to the first, he said, Child, go, today be working in my vineyard.
“Ihawkba nami ngaiki ni? Ahlana nghngih canaki khyang mat veki. Akdäma veia cit lü, “Ka ca aw, tuhngawi ngvawnga cit lü va khüia,” a ti.
29 And he answering said, I will not, but at last, having regretted, he went.
A ca naw, “Kaa! am cit hlü veng,” a ti kyaw, akäna a mlung nglat law be lü citki.
30 And having come to the second, he said in the same manner, and he answering said, I [go], lord, and did not go;
Acunüng anghngihnaka veia cit lü acukba bäa a mtheh. Ani naw, “Ä ja, cit kawng,” ti lü am cit.
31 which of the two did the will of the father?” They say to Him, “The first.” Jesus says to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you into the Kingdom of God,
Ahin xawi üng u naw ni a paa ngjakhlü a pawh?” a ti. Amimi naw, “Akdäm ni,” ami ti. Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Akcanga ka ning jah mthehki, akhawnkawke ja nghnumi ksee nami maa Pamhnama Khawa lut ve u.”
32 for John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, and the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him, and you, having seen, did not regret at last—to believe him.
Isetiüng ta Baptican Johan lam kdaw ning jah mhnuh khaia law se am jumei uki; cunsepi, akhawnkawke ja nghnumi ksee naw ani jumkie. Acun nami hmuh käna pi ngjut lü am jum uki,” a ti.
33 Hear another allegory: There was a certain man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and dug in it a winepress, and built a tower, and gave it out to farmers, and went abroad.
Jesuh naw, “Msuimcäpnak akce ngai betü ua: khyang mat ngvawngmah veki, acun naw capyit ngvawng pyang lü ngvawng lü capyittui suinak vai khui co lü, ngängnak vai kyäng a sak. Khüikie üng jah khah lü athuknaka khaw kcea kdungki.
34 And when the season of the fruits came near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive the fruits of it,
Capyit angtheih lawa kcün üng, amäta hama capyit ngthei kbit khai hea a mpyae ngvawng ngängkiea veia a jah tüih.
35 and the farmers having taken his servants, one they scourged, and one they killed, and one they stoned.
Ngvawng ngängkie naw ngvawngmaha a mpyae jah man u lü mat ami kpaih, mat ami hnim, mat lung am ami vawih.
36 Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them in the same manner.
Acunüng ngvawngmah naw akcüka kaa kthak nungkia, a mpya kce he a jah tüih betü. Acunsepi acukba kunga ami jah na pawh betü.
37 And at last he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son;
Akpäihnaka amäta ca, “Ahin ta leisawng khaie ni, am pawh hngaläk u” ti lü a tüih betü.
38 and the farmers having seen the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and may possess his inheritance;
Cunsepi ngvawng ngänge naw ami hmuh üng, “Hin hin ngvawngmaha ca va ni kbak. Law ua mi hnim lü a khawh mi bi vai u,” ti u lü,
39 and having taken him, they cast [him] out of the vineyard, and killed him;
man lü ngvawng kpunga xawt lü ami hnimin u.
40 whenever therefore the lord of the vineyard may come, what will he do to these farmers?”
“Tuh ta ngvawngmah a law üng, ngvawng ngängkie cun ihawkba jah pawh khai ni?” a ti.
41 They say to Him, “Evil men—he will grievously destroy them, and will give out the vineyard to other farmers who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.”
Msang u lü, “Acuna khyang ksee cun jah hnim khaia ngsing ve. Ngvawng pi capyit angthei law kcün üng, tha law khai hea khyang kce he üng jah khah khai,” ami ti.
42 Jesus says to them, “Did you never read in the Writings: A stone that the builders disallowed, it became head of a corner; from the LORD has this come to pass, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
Jesuh naw “Cangcim naw a pyen am nami khe khawikie aw? “Imksae naw am daw se ami hawiha lung cen, akdaw säih lunga thawn law khawiki. Ahin cun Bawipa naw a pawha kyaki, ahin cun müncan vaia kyaki, ihlawka müncan phyaki ni!”
43 Because of this I say to you that the Kingdom of God will be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth its fruit;
Acunakyase, ka ning jah mthehki, “Pamhnama Khaw ning jah hut lü ngtheisak pungpyahsak khaia khyang he üng jah pet vai.
44 and he who is falling on this stone will be broken, and on whomsoever it may fall it will crush him to pieces.”
“Aupi, hina lung üng kyaki cun khuikhaiei khaia bo vai. Ahina lung naw a kyaknak cun mput khuia thawn khai,” a ti.
45 And the chief priests and the Pharisees having heard His allegories, knew that He speaks of them,
Ktaiyü ngvaie ja Pharise he naw acuna msuimcäpnak cun ami ngjak üng, amimi a jah tinak ti ksingki he.
46 and seeking to lay hold on Him, they feared the multitudes, seeing they were holding Him as a prophet.
Acunüng, man khai hea ami bü. Cunsepi Jesuh cun sahma tia jumeikia khyangpänu ami jah kyüh.
