Mark 11
1 When they came near to Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany [villages] near Olive [Tree] Hill. Then Jesus [summoned] two of his disciples.
Jerusalem, Olive tlang kah Bethphage neh Bethany a pha tom uh vaengah a hnukbang rhoek khuiah panit te a tueih.
2 He said to them, “Go to that village just ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey that no one has ever ridden, that has been tied {people have tied} up. Untie it, and then bring it [to me].
Te vaengah amih rhoi te, “Na rhaldan kah vangca la cet rhoi lamtah a khuiah tlek na kun neh laak ca a pael te na hmuh rhoi ni. Te soah ah te hlang a ngol noek moenih. Te te hlam lamtah han khuen rhoi.
3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing that?’, say, [‘Jesus], our Lord, needs [to use] it. He will send it back here [with someone] as soon as [he no longer needs it].’”
Te vaengah khat khat loh nangmih rhoi taengah, “Balae na saii te,’ a ti atah Boeipa loh a ngoe. Tedae he la tlek kan thak koep bitni, 'ti nah,” a ti nah.
4 So [the two disciples] went and they found the young donkey. It was tied close to the door [of a house], which was beside the street. Then they untied it.
Te dongah a caeh rhoi hatah thohka voel kah longrhak ah laak ca a pael te a hmuh rhoi tih a hlam rhoi.
5 Some of the [people who were there] said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
Te vaengah tekah aka pai hlangvang loh, “laak ca na hlam rhoi te balae na saii rhoi,” a ti uh.
6 They told them what Jesus had said. So the people permitted them [to take the donkey].
Te rhoi loh amih taengah Jesuh kah a thui bangla a thui rhoi daengah amih rhoi te a hlah uh.
7 They brought the donkey to Jesus. [The disciples] put some of their clothes on it [in order to make something for him to sit on].
Te phoeiah laak ca te Jesuh taengla a khuen rhoi tih amamih kah himbai neh a khuk thil uh phoeiah a soah Jesuh te ngol.
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him as a king]. Others, [in order to honor him], spread along the road branches that they cut from [palm trees] in the fields [beside the road].
Te phoeiah hlang a yet loh a himbai te long ah a phaih uh. Tedae a tloe rhoek loh lohma kah thingbu te a hlaek pauh.
9 The people who were going in front of him and behind him were all shouting [things like], “Praise God!” “May God bless this one who comes (with his authority/as his representative) [MTY].”
Te phoeiah lamhma rhoek neh hnukvai rhoek loh, “Hosanna, Boeipa ming neh aka pawk tah a yoethen pai.
10 “May you be blessed {May [God] bless you} when you rule [like] our ancestor [King] David ruled!” “Praise God who is in the highest heaven!”
A pa David kah ram aka pai tah a yoethen pai, a sangkoek ah hosanna,” tila pang uh.
11 He entered Jerusalem [with them], and then he went into the Temple [courtyard]. After he looked around at everything [there], he left [the city] because it was already late [in the afternoon]. He returned to Bethany with the twelve [disciples and slept there].
Te phoeiah Jerusalem bawkim la kun tih boeih a sawt. A tue te khaw hlaem la om coeng tih hlainit neh Bethany la cet uh.
12 The next day, as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
A vuen ah Bethany lamloh a caeh uh vaengah a bungpong.
13 He saw from a distance a fig tree with all its leaves, so he went [to it] to see if he could find any [figs] on it. But when he came to it, he found only leaves on it. This was because it was not yet time when [normal fig trees have ripe] figs.
Te vaengah thaibu a hnah aka om te a hla lamloh a hmuh. Te dongah a kung ah pakhat khat khaw a hmuh mai atah tila a paan. Thaibu tue la a om pawt dongah a taeng a pha vaengah tah a hnah pawt atah a tloe hmu pawh.
14 [But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
Te dongah a voek tih, “Nang kah a thaih te kumhal duela ca uh boel saeh,” a ti nah te a hnukbang rhoek long khaw a yaak uh. (aiōn g165)
15 Jesus and his disciples went [back] to Jerusalem. He entered the Temple [courtyard. He saw people] who were selling and buying [animals for sacrifices. They were spoiling the place of worship]. He chased those people [from the Temple courtyard.] He also overturned the tables of those who were giving Temple tax money in exchange for Roman coins. He overturned the seats of the men who were selling doves [for sacrifices],
Te phoeiah Jerusalem la ha lo uh tih bawkim la a kun vaengah bawkim kah hnoyoi neh hnolai rhoek te koe a vai. Tangkathung rhoek kah caboei neh vahu aka yoi rhoek kah ngoltlang te a palet pah.
16 and he would not allow anyone who was carrying anything [to sell] to go through the Temple [area].
Te phoeiah hnopai te bawkim longah pakhat khaw puen sak pawh.
17 Then as he taught those people, he said to them, “It is written {[One of the prophets] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called {[people] to call my house} a house where [people from] all nations may pray’, but you bandits have made it [like] a cave where you can hide! ([You know that!/Do you not know that]?) [RHQ]”
Te phoeiah amih te a thuituen tih, “Kai im tah namtom boeih ham thangthuinah im la a khue ni tila a daek moenih a? Tedae nangmih loh dingca rhoek kah khuirhung la na saii uh,” a ti nah.
18 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws [later] heard [about what he had done]. So they planned how they might kill him, [but they knew that it would be difficult], because they realized that the crowd was amazed at what he was teaching and they feared [that the people would soon decide that Jesus had more authority over the Temple than they did] (OR, [feared what the people would do if they tried to arrest Jesus]).
Khosoihham neh cadaek rhoek loh a yaak uh vaengah Jesuh te poci sak ham a mae uh. Tedae anih kah thuituennah soah hlangping khaw boeih let uh tih loei a rhih uh.
19 That evening, [Jesus and his disciples] left the city [and again slept in Bethany].
Kholaeh a pha vaengah kho voella cet uh.
20 [The next] morning, while they were going along [the road toward Jerusalem, they saw that the fig tree that Jesus had cursed] had withered completely.
Te phoeikah yueya a van uh hatah thaibu tah a yung lamloh a koh te a hmuh uh.
21 Peter remembered [what Jesus had said to the fig tree] and he exclaimed to Jesus, “Teacher, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!”
Te vaengah Peter loh a thoelh tih Jesuh taengah, “Rhabbi thaibu thae na phoei thil te koh coeng he,” a ti nah.
22 Jesus replied, “[You should not be surprised that God did what I asked]! You must trust that God [will do whatever you ask him to do]!
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te a doo tih, “Pathen taengah tangnah te khueh uh lah.
23 [Also] note this: If anyone says to this hill, ‘Be raised up {Rise up} and then be thrown {throw yourself} into the lake!’ and if he does not doubt [that what he asks for will happen], that is, if he believes that what he asks for will happen, [God] will do it for him.
Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, hekah tlang he, 'Phil saeh lamtah tuili la voei saeh, ' aka ti nah long tah a thinko ah boelhkhoeh boel saeh lamtah a thui te thoeng coeng tila tangnah saeh a thoeng pah bitni.
24 So I tell you, whenever you ask [God] for something when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and, [if you do, God] will do it [for you].
Te dongah nangmih taengah ka thui, thangthui neh na bih uh boeih te ka dang coeng tila tangnah uh lamtah nangmih ham ha thoeng bitni.
25 Now, I [tell you this also]: Whenever you are praying, if you have a grudge against people [because they have harmed you], forgive them, in order that your Father in heaven will [likewise] forgive your sins.”
Thangthui la na pai uh vaengah khaw khat khat taengah ngaihlih bet na khueh atah hlah pah.
Te daengah ni vaan kah na pa long khaw nangmih kah tholhdalhnah te a hlah eh?,” a ti nah.
27 Jesus and his disciples arrived in the Temple [courtyard] in Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking [there, a group consisting of] chief priests, [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and elders came to him and they said to him,
Te phoeiah Jerusalem la koep pawk uh tih Bawkim ah a pongpa vaengah khosoihham rhoek khaw, cadaek rhoek khaw, patong rhoek khaw, a taengla ha pawk uh.
28 “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like those you did here yesterday]?”
Te phoeiah Jesuh te, “Mebang saithainah nen lae hekah he na saii? tih hekah he saii ham saithainah he ulong nang m'paek,” a ti nauh.
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do those things.
Tedae Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Olka pakhat nangmih kan dawt phoeiah kai n'doouh. Te vaengah mebang saithainah neh ka saii khaw nangmih ham kan thui bitni.
30 Did God [MTY] or people [authorize] John to baptize [those who came to him]?”
Johan kah baptisma te vaan lamkah a? Hlang lamkah a aka om a? Kai n'doo uh lah,” a ti nah.
31 They debated among themselves [as to what they should answer]. They [said to each other], “If we say that it was God [who authorized] him, he will say to us, ‘Therefore, (you should have believed what John said!/why did you not believe what John said?) [RHQ]’
Te vaengah amamih te dawtlet uh thae tih, “Vaan lamkah n'ti uh, “koinih, “Balae tih anih na tangnah uh pawh,” a ti veh.
32 On the other hand, if we say that it was people [who authorized John, then what will happen to us]?” They were afraid [to say that about where John got his authority, because they knew that] the people [would be very angry with them. They knew that] all the people truly believed that John was a prophet [whom God had sent].
Hlang lamkah n'ti uh cakhaw hlang boeih loh Johan te, “Tonghma rhep ni,” a ti uh dongah hlangping te a rhih uh.
33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question, I] will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
Te dongah Jesuh te a doo uh tih, “Ka ming uh pawh,” a ti uh. Jesuh long khaw amih te, “Hekah he mebang saithainah neh ka saii khaw nangmih taengah ka thui mahpawh,” a ti nah.
