Matthew 21
1 When they had almost reached Jerusalem, having come as far as Bethphage, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent on two disciples.
Jeesus ja tema jüngrid läksid Jeruusalemma. Lähemale jõudes tulid nad Betfage küla juurde Õlimäel. Jeesus saatis kaks jüngrit ette
2 “Go to the village facing you,” he said, “and you will immediately find a donkey tethered, with a foal by her side; untie her, and lead her here for me.
ja ütles neile: „Minge külla. Sealsamas leiate te kinni seotult eesli koos säluga. Siduge nad lahti ja tooge mulle.
3 And, if anyone says anything to you, you are to say this – ‘The Master wants them’; and he will send them at once.”
Kui keegi küsib, mida te teete, siis öelge talle: „Issandal on neid vaja“, ja nad saadavad nad jalamaid.“
4 This happened in fulfillment of these words in the prophet –
Nii pidi täituma see, mida oli öelnud prohvet:
5 ‘Say to the people of Zion – “Your King is coming to you, gentle, and riding on a donkey, and on the foal of a beast of burden.”’
„Öelge Siioni tütrele: „Vaata, sinu Kuningas tuleb su juurde. Ta on alandlik ning ratsutab eesli ja eeslisälu seljas.““
6 So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
Jüngrid läksid ja tegid nii, nagu Jeesus oli õpetanud.
7 They led the donkey and the foal back, and, when they had put their cloaks on them, he seated himself on them.
Nad tõid kaasa eesli ja sälu. Nad panid nende peale oma ülekuued ja ta istus nende peale.
8 The immense crowd of people spread their cloaks in the road, while some cut branches off the trees, and spread them on the road.
Paljud rahva hulgas laotasid oma ülekuued tee peale, samal ajal teised lõikasid puude otsast oksi ja panid need tee peale.
9 The crowds that led the way, as well as those that followed behind, kept shouting, “God save the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! God save him from on high!”
Rahvas, kes käis tema ees, ja need, kes tulid tema järel, hüüdsid kõik: „Hosanna Taaveti pojale! Õnnistatud on see, kes tuleb Issanda nimel! Hosanna kõrgustes!“
10 When he had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred, and asked –
Kui Jeesus saabus Jeruusalemma, oli kogu linn elevil. „Kes see on?“küsiti.
11 “Who is this?”, to which the crowd replied – “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”
„See on Jeesus, prohvet Galilea Naatsaretist, “vastas rahvahulk.
12 Jesus went into the Temple Courts, and drove out all those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers, and the seats of the pigeon-dealers,
Jeesus läks templisse ja viskas välja kõik inimesed, kes ostsid ja müüsid. Ta lükkas kummuli rahavahetajate lauad ja tuvimüüjate toolid.
13 and said to them, “Scripture says ‘My house will be called a house of prayer’; but you are making it a den of robbers.”
Ta ütles neile: „Pühakiri ütleb: „Minu koda peab hüütama palvekojaks“, aga teie olete selle muutnud röövlikoopaks.“
14 While he was still in the Temple Courts, some blind and some lame people came up to him, and he cured them.
Pimedad ja lombakad tulid templisse Jeesuse juurde ja ta tegi nad terveks.
15 But, when the chief priests and the teachers of the Law saw the wonderful things that Jesus did, and the boys who were calling out in the Temple Courts “God save the Son of David!”, they were indignant,
Aga kui ülempreestrid ja vaimulikud õpetajad nägid imetegusid, mida ta tegi, ja lapsi templis hüüdmas: „Hosanna Taaveti pojale!“, olid nad haavunud. „Kas sa kuuled, mida need lapsed ütlevad?“küsisid nad talt.
16 and said to him, “Do you hear what these boys are saying?” “Yes,” answered Jesus, “but did you never read the words – ‘Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings you have called forth perfect praise’?”
„Jah, “vastas Jeesus. „Kas te ei ole kunagi lugenud Pühakirja, kus on öeldud: „Sa oled korraldanud nii, et lapsed ja imikud ülistavad sind täiuslikult“?“
17 Then he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.
Jeesus lahkus neist ja läks linnast välja, et peatuda Betaanias.
18 The next morning, in returning to the city, Jesus became hungry;
Järgmisel hommikul, kui ta oli teel tagasi linna, tundis ta nälga.
19 and, noticing a solitary fig tree by the roadside, he went up to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. So he said to it, “Never again will fruit be gathered off you.” And suddenly the fruit tree withered up. (aiōn g165)
Ta nägi tee ääres üht viigipuud, nii läks ta selle juurde, kuid ei leidnud vilju, ainult lehti. Ta ütles viigipuule: „Et sa enam kunagi vilja ei kannaks!“Viigipuu närbus jalamaid. (aiōn g165)
20 When the disciples saw this, they exclaimed in astonishment, “How suddenly the fig tree withered up!”
Jüngrid olid seda nähes hämmastunud. „Kuidas see viigipuu nii äkitselt ära närbus?“küsisid nad.
21 “I tell you,” replied Jesus, “if you have faith, without ever a doubt, you will do what not only what has been done to the fig tree, but, even if you should say to this hill ‘Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!’ it would be done.
„Ma ütlen teile tõtt, “vastas Jeesus, „Kui teil oleks tõesti kindel usk Jumalasse ja te ei kahtleks temas, ei suudaks te teha üksnes seda, mis juhtus viigipuuga, vaid palju enamat. Kui te ütleksite sellele mäele: „Tõuse ja heida ennast merre!“, siis nii sünniks!
22 And whatever you ask for in your prayers will, if you have faith, be granted you.”
Te saate kõike, mida te palves palute, kui teil on kindel usk Jumalasse.“
23 After Jesus had come into the Temple Courts, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, “What authority have you to do these things? Who gave you this authority?”
Jeesus läks templisse. Ülempreestrid ja valitsevad rahvavanemad tulid tema juurde, kui ta õpetas, ja küsisid: „Mis õigusega sa neid asju teed? Kes sulle selleks õiguse andis?“
24 “I, too,” said Jesus in reply, “will ask you one question; if you will give me an answer to it, then I, also, will tell you what authority I have to act as I do.
„Mina esitan ka teile küsimuse, “vastas Jeesus. „Kui te vastate mulle, siis ütlen teile, mis õigusega ma neid asju teen.
25 It is about John’s baptism. What was its origin? Divine or human?” But they began arguing among themselves, “If we say ‘divine,’ he will say to us ‘Why then didn’t you believe him?’
Kust oli Johannese ristimine pärit? Kas see oli taevast või inimestelt?“Nad vaidlesid omavahel. „Kui me ütleme: „See oli taevast“, siis küsib ta, miks me temasse ei uskunud.
26 But if we say ‘human,’ we are afraid of the people, for everyone regards John as a prophet.”
Aga kui ütleme: „See oli inimestelt“, siis pöördub rahvas meie vastu, sest kõik peavad Johannest prohvetiks.“
27 So the answer they gave Jesus was – “We do not know.” “Then I,” he said, “refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.
Niisiis vastasid nad Jeesusele: „Me ei tea.“„Siis ei ütle ma teile, mis õigusega ma neid asju teen, “vastas Jeesus.
28 What do you think of this? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the elder and said ‘Go and work in the vineyard today my son.’
„Aga mida te arvate sellest näitest? Elas kord mees, kellel oli kaks poega. Ta läks esimese poja juurde ja ütles: „Poeg mine täna viinapuuaeda tööle.“
29 ‘Yes, sir,’ he answered; but he did not go.
Poeg vastas: „Ei lähe“, kuid pärast oli tal kahju sellepärast, mida ta oli öelnud, ja ta läks tööle.
30 Then the father went to the second son, and said the same. ‘I will not,’ he answered; but afterward he was sorry and went.
Mees läks teise poja juurde ja ütles talle sama. Poeg vastas: „Ma lähen, “, aga ei läinud.
31 Which of the two sons did as his father wished?” “The second,” they said. “I tell you,” added Jesus, “that tax collectors and prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God before you.
Kumb neist kahest pojast tegi seda, mida isa soovis?“„Esimene, “vastasid nad. „Ma räägin teile tõtt: maksukogujad ja prostituudid sisenevad Jumala riiki enne teid, “ütles Jeesus neile.
32 For when John came to you, walking in the path of righteousness, you did not believe him, but tax collectors and prostitutes did; and yet you, though you saw this, even then were not sorry, nor did you believe him.
„Johannes tuli, et näidata teile, kuidas elada Jumalale vastuvõetavalt, ja te ei uskunud teda, kuid maksukogujad ja prostituudid uskusid teda. Hiljem, kui te nägite, mis juhtus, ei kahetsenud ega uskunud te ikkagi.
33 “Listen to another parable. A man, who was an employer, once planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, and then let it out to tenants and went abroad.
Siin on veel üks näitlik lugu. Elas kord üks mees, maaomanik, kes istutas viinapuuaja. Ta pani selle ümber tara, valmistas surutõrre ja ehitas vahitorni. Ta andis selle mõnedele renditalunikele rendile ja lahkus siis, et minna teise riiki.
34 When the time for the grape harvest drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to receive his share of the produce.
Lõikuseajal saatis ta oma sulased talunike juurde, et koguda saak, mis kuulus talle.
35 But the tenants seized his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
Kuid talunikud ründasid tema sulaseid. Üht nad peksid, teise tapsid ja kolmandat viskasid kividega.
36 A second time the owner sent some servants, a larger number than before, and the tenants treated them in the same way.
Niisiis saatis ta veel sulaseid, aga talunikud tegid nendega sama.
37 As a last resource he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
Siis saatis ta oma poja. „Nad austavad mu poega, “mõtles ta endamisi.
38 But the tenants, on seeing his son, said to each other ‘Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.’
Aga kui talunikud nägid poega, ütlesid nad üksteisele: „Siin on pärija! Tulge! Tapame ta ära, nii et saame tema pärandi endale võtta!“
39 So they seized him, and threw him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
Nad haarasid temast kinni, viskasid ta viinapuuaiast välja ja tapsid ta.
40 Now, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”
Kui viinapuuaia omanik tagasi tuleb, mida ta siis nende talunikega teeb?“
41 “Miserable wretches!” they exclaimed, “he will put them to a miserable death, and he will let out the vineyard to other tenants, who will pay him his share of the produce at the proper times.”
Ülempreestrid ja vanemad ütlesid Jeesusele: „Ta mõistab need kurjad mehed kõige kohutavamasse surma ning annab viinapuuaia rendile teistele talunikele, kes annavad talle kindlasti lõikuseajal saaki.“
42 Then Jesus added, “Have you never read in the scriptures? – ‘The stone which the builders despised – has now itself become the cornerstone. This cornerstone has come from the Lord, and is marvelous in our eyes.’
„Niisiis, kas te ei ole seda Pühakirjast lugenud?“küsis Jeesus neilt. „„Kivi, mille ehitajad välja praakisid, on saanud peamiseks nurgakiviks. Issand on seda teinud ja see on meie silmis imeline.“
43 That, I tell you, is why the kingdom of God will be taken from you, and given to a nation that does produce the fruit of the kingdom.
Sellepärast ma räägingi, et Jumala riik võetakse teilt ära. See antakse inimestele, kes kannavad õiget vilja.
44 Yes, and he who falls on this stone will be dashed to pieces, while anyone on whom it falls – it will scatter him as dust.”
Igaüks, kes langeb selle kivi peale, puruneb, aga kelle peale see kivi langeb, purustatakse täielikult.“
45 After listening to these parables, the chief priests and the Pharisees saw that it was about them that he was speaking;
Kui ülempreestrid ja variserid kuulsid tema näitlikke lugusid, mõistsid nad, et ta räägib neist.
46 yet, although eager to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, who regarded him as a prophet.
Nad tahtsid ta vahistada, kuid kartsid seda, mida rahvas võib teha, sest rahvas uskus, et ta on prohvet.
