Matthew 21
1 As [we] approached Jerusalem, we came near Bethphage [village], near Olive [Tree] Hill. Jesus said to two [of his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead of us. As soon as you enter [it], you will see a donkey and her foal that are {someone has} tied [up]. Untie them and bring them [here] to me.
A KOKOKE aku la lakou i Ierusalema, ua hiki aku la i Betepage ma ka mauna Oliveta, alaila, hoouna aku la o Iesu i na haumana elua;
I aku la ia laua, E hele aku olua i ke kauhale e kupono mai ana ia olua, a e loaa koke ia olua ka hoki ua nakikiia, a me ke keiki me ia: e wehe ae olua, a e kai mai io'u nei.
3 If anyone says anything to you [about your doing that], tell [him], ‘The Lord needs them.’ He will [then allow you to] lead them away.”
Ina paha e olelo mai kekahi ia olua, e i aku, Na ka Haku ia mau mea e pono ai: alaila e kuu koke mai no ia i na hoki.
4 When all this happened, what was written by a prophet {what a prophet wrote about} was fulfilled {happened}. The prophet wrote, “Tell the people who live in Jerusalem [SYN], ‘Look! Your king is coming to you! He will come humbly. He [will show that he is humble, because he will be] riding on a colt, the offspring of a donkey.’”
Ua pau ia mau mea i ka hanaia, i ko ai ka mea i oleloia mai e ke kaula, i ka i ana,
E hai aku oukou i ke kaikamahine a Ziona, Aia hoi, ke hele akahai mai nei kou Alii iou la, e noho ana maluna o ka hoki, o ke keiki hoi a ka hoki.
6 So the [two] disciples went and did what Jesus told them to do.
Hele aku la ua mau hanmana la, a hana aku la e like me ka Iesu i kauoha mai ai ia laua.
7 They brought the donkey and its colt [to Jesus]. They placed their cloaks on them [to make something for him to sit on]. Then Jesus [mounted the colt] and sat on the cloaks.
Kai mai la laua i ua hoki la, a me ke keiki, hohola ae la lakou i na kapa o lakou maluna o laua, a hoee aku la ia Iesu maluna iho.
8 Then a large crowd spread [some of] their clothing on the road, and other [people] cut off branches from [palm] trees and spread them on the road. [They did those things to decorate the road in order to honor Jesus].
Hohola iho la ka nui o ka poe kanaka i ko lakou kapa ma ke alanui, a okioki ae la kekahi poe i na lalalaau, a haliilii iho la ma ke alanui.
9 The crowds that walked in front of him and those who walked behind him were shouting things like, “Praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” “May the Lord [God] bless [this one] who comes as [God’s] representative and with [God’s] authority [MTY].” “Praise God, who is in the highest [heaven]!”
Hookani ae la ka poe hele mamua, a me ka poe hahai mahope, i aku la, Hosana i ka Mamo a Davida! E hoouaniia ka Mea e hele mai nei ma ka inoa o ka Haku; Hosana i ke lani kiekie loa!
10 As Jesus entered Jerusalem, a crowd of people [MTY] from all [over the city] became excited and were saying, “Why [are they honoring] this man [like that]?”
A hiki aku la ia i Ierusalema, pihoihoi ae la ko ke kulanakauhale a pau, ninau mai la lakou, Owai keia?
11 The crowd [that was already following him] said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee!”
I aku la ka poe kanaka, O Iesu keia, ke Kaula no Nazareta i Galilaia.
12 Then Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard] and chased out all of those who were buying and selling things there. He also overturned the tables of those who were giving [Temple tax money in exchange for Roman] coins, and he overturned the seats of those who were selling pigeons [for sacrifices].
Komo aku la Iesu iloko o ka luakini o ke Akua, a hookuke aku la iwaho i ka poe kuai lilo aku, a me ka poe kuai lilo mai a pau iloko o ka luakini: hookahuli ae la ia i na papa o ka poe kuai moni, a me na noho o ka poe kuai manu nunu.
13 Then he said to them, “It is {([Jeremiah/A prophet]) has} written [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called a place where [people] pray’, but you bandits have made it [MET] your hideout!”
I aku la oia ia lakou, Ua palapalaia, E kapaia ko'u hale, he hale pule; a ua hoolilo iho nei oukou ia ia i ana no na powa.
14 After that, [many] blind [people] and lame [people] came to Jesus in the temple [in order that he would heal them], and he healed them.
Hele mai la ka poe makapo a me ka poe oopa io na la ma ka luakini, a hoola aku la oia ia lakou.
15 The high priests and the men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws saw the wonderful deeds that Jesus did. [They also saw and] heard the children shouting in the Temple, “We praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” The religious leaders were indignant [because they did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah].
Ike mai la ka poe kahuna nui a me ka poe kakauolelo i na mea kupanaha ana i hana'i, a me na kamalii e hookani ana iloko o ka luakini, Hosana i ka Mamo a Davida; ukiuki mai la lakou,
16 [They thought that Jesus should not be allowing the children to say that], so they asked him, “[How can you tolerate] this [RHQ]? Do you hear what these [children] are shouting?” Then Jesus said to them, “Yes, I [hear them, but] if you [remembered what] you have read [in the Scriptures about children praising me, you would know that God is pleased] [RHQ] [with them]. [The psalmist] wrote, [saying to God], ‘You have taught infants and other children to praise you perfectly.’”
I mai la ia ia, Ke lohe nei anei oe i ka lakou nei olelo? I aku la o Iesu ia lakou, Ae, aole anei oukou i heluhelu, Ua hoomakaukau oe i ka hoolea mailoko mai o na waha kamalii a me na keiki waiu?
17 Then Jesus left the city. We [disciples] went [with him] to Bethany [town], and we slept there [that night].
Haalele aku la oia ia lakou, a hele aku la iwaho o ke kulanakauhele i Betania, malaila i noho ai a ao ka po.
18 Early [the next morning], when we were returning to the city, [Jesus] was hungry.
A kakahiaka ae, i kona hoi ana i ke kulanakauhale, pololi iho la ia.
19 He saw a fig tree near the road. [So he went over to it to pick some figs to eat]. But when he got close, he saw that there were no [figs on the tree]. There were only leaves on it. So [to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel], he said to the fig tree, “May you never again produce figs!” As a result, the fig tree withered that night. (aiōn g165)
Ike ae la ia i kekahi laau fiku ma kapa alanui, hele aku la ia ilaila, a o na lau wale no i loaa ia ia maluna ona; i aku ia i ua laau la, Mai noho a ulu ka hua maluna ou ma ia hope a mau loa aku. Maloo koke iho la ua laau fiku la. (aiōn g165)
20 [The next day] when we disciples saw [what had happened to the tree], we marveled, and we said [to Jesus], “(It is astonishing that the fig tree withered so quickly!/How is it that the fig tree dried up so quickly?)” [RHQ]
A ike ae la ka poo haumana, kahaha iho la lakou, i ae la, Emo ole ka maloo ana o ka laau fiku!
21 Jesus said to us, “Think about this: If you believe [that God has power to do what you ask him to] and you do not doubt [that], you will be able to do [things like what I have] done to this fig tree. You will even be able to do [marvelous deeds like] saying to a nearby hill, ‘Uproot yourself and throw yourself into the sea’, and it will happen!
Olelo mai la o Iesu, i mai la ia lakou, He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, Ina he manaoio ko oukou, aole oukou kanalua, e hana no oukou aole i keia wale no o ka laau fiku; aka, ina e olelo aku oukou i keia mauna, E kaikaiia'e oe, a e hooleiia'ku iloko o ka moana; e hanaia no ia.
22 In addition [to that], whenever you ask [God for something] when you pray [to him, if you] believe [that he will give it to you], you will receive [it from him].”
Oia hoi, o na mea a pau a oukou e nonoi ai ma ka pule me ka manaoio, e loaa no ia ia oukou.
23 After that, Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard]. While he was teaching [the people], the chief priests and the elders of the Jewish Council approached him. They asked, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do what you did [here yesterday] [DOU]?”
Ia ia i komo aku ai iloko o ka luakini, a ao mai la ilaila, hele mai la io na la ka poe kahuna nui, a me ka poe lunakahiko o na kanaka, i mai la, Nawai mai kau mana e hana aku ai i keia mau mea? Nawai hoi i haawi mai keia mana ia oe?
24 Jesus said to them, “I also will ask you a question, and if you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do these things.
Olelo aku la o Iesu ia lakou, i aku la, Owau kekahi e ninau aku ia oukou, a i hai mai oukou ia, e hai aku no hoi au ia oukou i ka mea nana i haawi mai ia'u e hana keia mau mea.
25 Where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God or from people? [MTY/EUP]” The chief priests and elders debated among themselves [about what they should answer]. [They said to each other], “If we say, ‘[It was] [MTY/EUP] from God’, he will say to us, ‘Then (you should have believed his [message]!/why did you not believe [John’s message]?) [RHQ]’
O ka bapetizo ana a Ioane, no hea ia? No ka lani mai anei? no kanaka anei? Kuka iho la lakou ia lakou iho, i ae la, Ina e hai aku kakou, No ka lani mai; alaila, e ninau mai kela ia kakou, No ke aha la oukou i manaoio ole ai ia ia?
26 If we say, ‘It was from people’, we are afraid that the crowd [will react violently], because all [the people] believe that John was a prophet [sent by God].”
A i hai aku kakou, No kanaka, ke makau aku nei kakou i na kanaka; no ka mea, ke manao nei lakou a pau, he kaula no o Ioane.
27 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then he said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do the things I did [here yesterday].”
Olelo mai la lakou ia Iesu, i mai la, Aole makou i ike. I aku la hoi oia ia lakou, Aole hoi au e hai aku ia oukou i ka mea nana i haawi mai ia'u e hana i keia mau mea.
28 [Then Jesus said to the chief priests and elders], “Tell me [RHQ] what you think [about what I am about to tell you]. There was a man who had two sons. He went to his older son and said, ‘My son, go and work in my vineyard today!’
Aka, heaha ka oukou manao? He wahi kanaka ia ia na keikikane elua; a hele aku la ia i ka mua, i aku la, E kuu keiki, e hele aku oe e hana i keia la ma kuu pawaina.
29 But the son said [to his father], ‘I do not want to [go and work in your vineyard today]!’ But later he changed his mind, and he went to the vineyard [and worked].
Hoole mai la kela, i mai la, Aole au e hiki. A mahope mihi iho la ia, a hele aku la.
30 Then the father approached his younger son and said what he had said to his older son. That son said, ‘Sir, I will [go and work in the vineyard today.’] But he did not go there.
Hele aku la hoi oia i kana keiki muli, a olelo aku la pela ia ia. Ae mai la ia, i mai la, E hele no wau, e kuu haku; aole nae ia i hele.
31 So which of the man’s two sons did what their father desired?” They answered, “The older son.” Jesus [explained to them what that parable meant] by saying, “Think about this: [It is more likely that other people, including] tax collectors and prostitutes, [whom you think are very sinful], will enter where God rules, than it is that you [Jewish leaders] will enter.
Owai ko laua mea nana i hana ka makemake o ka makua? I mai la lakou ia ia, O ka mua. I aku la Iesu ia lakou, He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, e komo e ka poe lunaauhau a me na wahine hookamakama mamua o oukou iloko o ke aupuni o ke Akua.
32 I [say this to you] because, even though John [the Baptizer] explained to you how to live righteously, you did not believe his message. But tax collectors and prostitutes believed his [message, and they turned away from their sinful behavior]. In contrast, you, even though you saw what they did, refused to turn away from your sinful behavior, and you did not believe [John’s message].”
No ka mea, i hele mai nei o Ioane io oukou nei ma ka aoao o ka pono, aole nae oukou i manaoio ia ia; aka, manaoio ka poe lunaauhau a me na wahine hookamakama ia ia; a ia oukou i ike ia ia, aole oukou i mihi mahope me ka manaoio ia ia.
33 “Listen to another parable [that I will tell you]. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He built a fence around it. He dug a hole in the ground [inside the fence]. He placed [in the hole] a stone tank to [collect the juice that would be] pressed out of the grapes. He also built a tower [inside that fence that someone would sit in to guard that vineyard]. He arranged for some men [to care for] the vineyard [and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went away to another country.
E hoolohe mai oukou i kekahi olelonane hou: Kanu iho la kekahi mea hale i ka malawaina, hana iho la ia i pa a puni, eli iho la i wahi kaomi waina iloko olaila, kukulu iho la i hale kiai, haawi aku la ia wahi i na hoaaina, a hele aku la ia i ka aina e.
34 When it was time to harvest the grapes, the landowner sent some of his servants to the men who were taking care of the vineyard to get his share of the grapes [that the vineyard had produced].
A i ka wa i kokoke e oo ai ka hua, hoouna mai la ia i kana mau kauwa i ka poe hoaaina i loaa mai ai ka hua nona.
35 But the renters seized the servants. They beat one of them, they killed another one, and [killed] another one of them [by throwing] stones at him.
A hopu aku la na hoaaina i kana mau kauwa, hahau iho la lakou i kekahi, pepehi iho la i kekahi a make, a hailuku aku la i kekahi me ka pohaku.
36 [So the landowner] sent more servants than [he had sent] the first [time]. The renters treated those servants the same way that [they had treated the other servants].
Hoouna hou mai la ia i na kauwa e ae, he nui aku i ka poe mamua, a hana hou pela na hoaaina ia lakou.
37 Later, [knowing this], [the landowner] sent his son to [the renters to get his share of the grapes]. When he sent him, he said [to himself], ‘They will certainly respect my son [and give him some of the grapes].’
A mahope iho, hoouna mai la ia i kana Keiki io lakou la, i iho la, E hoomaikai mai paha lakou i ka'u keiki.
38 But when the renters saw his son [arriving], they said to each other, ‘This is the man who will inherit [this vineyard]! Let’s kill him and divide the property [among ourselves].’
Ike aku la ka poe hoaaina i ua keiki la, olelo ae la kekahi i kekahi, Eia ae ka hooilina, ina kakou, e pepehi ia ia, a lilo mai kona aina no kakou.
39 So they grabbed him, dragged him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
Hopu aku la lakou ia ia, hookuke aku la ia ia iwaho o ka pawaina, pepehi iho la ia ia a make.
40 [Now I ask you], when the landowner returns to his vineyard, what [do you think] he will do to those renters?”
Aia hiki mai ka haku nona ka pawaina, heaha kana e hana mai ai i ua poe hoaaina nei?
41 [The chief priests and elders] replied, “He will thoroughly destroy those wicked [renters]! Then he will rent the vineyard to others. They will give him [his share of] the grapes when they are ripe.”
I mai la lakou ia ia, E pepehi hoomainoino ia i kela poe ino, a e haawi aku ia i ka pawaina, no kekahi poe hoaaina e ae, nana e hookupu mai nona na hua i ka wa e oo ai.
42 Jesus said to them, “[That is right, so you need to think carefully about these words which] you have read [RHQ] in the Scriptures: The builders rejected a certain stone. [But others put] that same stone [in its proper place, and it] has become the most important stone [of the] building [MET]. The Lord has done this, and we marvel as we look at it.
Olelo aku la o Iesu ia lakou, Aole anei oukou i heluhelu iloko o ka palapala hemolele, O ka pohaku a ka poe hana hale i haalele ai, ua lilo ia i pohaku kumu kihi? O ka ka Haku hana keia, a he mea mahalo hoi ia i ko kakou mau maka.
43 So, [because you reject me], I am going to tell you this: God will no longer let you [Jews] be the people over whom he rules. Instead, he will let [non-Jews] be the people over whom he rules, and they will do [IDM] what he asks them to do.
Nolaila, ke olelo aku nei au ia oukou, E laweia'na ke aupuni o ke Akua mai o oukou mai, a e haawiia'ku ia i ka lahuikanaka nana e hua mai kona hua.
44 [The important stone in the building represents me, the Messiah, and those who reject me are like people who fall on this stone]. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken into pieces {This cornerstone will break into pieces anyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
A o ka mea e haule iho maluna o keia pohaku, e haihaiia oia; aka, o ka mea i hauleia iho e ua pohaku la maluna, e pepe loa ia.
45 When the chief priests and the [elders who were] Pharisees heard this parable, they realized that he was accusing them [because they did not believe that he was the Messiah].
Lohe ae la ka poe kahuna nui a me ka poe Parisaio i kana mau olelonane, ike iho la lakou, no lakou iho kana i olelo ai.
46 They wanted to seize him, but [they did not do so] because they were afraid of what the crowds [would do if they did that], because [the crowds] considered that Jesus was a prophet.
Makemake iho la lakou e lalau mai ia ia, a makau aku la lakou i ka poe kanaka; no ka mea, manao iho la lakou he kaula ia.
