< Mark 11 >

1 When they were getting near Jerusalem and had arrived at Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples on in front, with these instructions.
ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܒܝܬ ܦܓܐ ܘܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܠܘܬ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܙܝܬܐ ܫܕܪ ܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ
2 "Go," He said, "to the village facing you, and immediately on entering it you will find an ass's foal tied up which no one has ever yet ridden: untie him and bring him here.
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܠܩܘܒܠܢ ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܝܠܐ ܕܐܤܝܪ ܕܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܪܟܒܗ ܫܪܘ ܐܝܬܐܘܗܝ
3 And if any one asks you, 'Why are you doing that?' say, 'The Master needs it, and will send it back here without delay.'"
ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܐܡܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܕܠܡܪܢ ܡܬܒܥܐ ܘܡܚܕܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܠܗ ܠܟܐ
4 So they went and found a young ass tied up at the front door of a house. They were untying it,
ܘܐܙܠܘ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܥܝܠܐ ܕܐܤܝܪ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܐ ܠܒܪ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܘܟܕ ܫܪܝܢ ܠܗ
5 when some of the bystanders called out, "What are you doing, untying the foal?"
ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܫܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܝܠܐ
6 But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give, they let them take it.
ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܒܩܘ ܐܢܘܢ
7 So they brought the foal to Jesus, and threw their outer garments over him; and Jesus mounted.
ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܥܝܠܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܐܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܪܟܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܝܫܘܥ
8 Then many spread their outer garments to carpet the road, and others leafy branches which they had cut down in the fields;
ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܫܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܢܚܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܦܤܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܤܘܟܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܘܡܫܘܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ
9 while those who led the way and those who followed kept shouting "God save Him!" Blessed be He who comes in the Lord's name.
ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܒܬܪܗ ܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܘܫܥܢܐ ܒܪܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
10 Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our forefather David! God in the highest Heavens save Him!"
ܘܒܪܝܟܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܐ ܕܐܒܘܢ ܕܘܝܕ ܐܘܫܥܢܐ ܒܡܪܘܡܐ
11 So He came into Jerusalem and into the Temple; and after looking round upon everything there, the hour being now late He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
ܘܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܕܢܐ ܕܪܡܫܐ ܢܦܩ ܠܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܥܡ ܬܪܥܤܪ
12 The next day, after they had left Bethany, He was hungry.
ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܟܕ ܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܟܦܢ
13 But in the distance He saw a fig-tree in full leaf, and went to see whether perhaps He could find some figs on it. When however He came to it, He found nothing but leaves (for it was not fig time);
ܘܚܙܐ ܬܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܛܪܦܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܕܐܢ ܢܫܟܚ ܒܗ ܡܕܡ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܒܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܛܪܦܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܬܐܢܐ
14 and He said to the tree, "Let no one ever again eat fruit from thee!" And His disciples heard this. (aiōn g165)
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܟܝܠ ܘܠܥܠܡ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܝ ܦܐܪܐ ܠܐ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܘܫܡܥܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ (aiōn g165)
15 They reached Jerusalem, and entering the Temple He began to drive out the buyers and sellers, and upset the money-changers' tables and the stools of the pigeon-dealers,
ܘܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܕܢܦܩ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܘܡܙܒܢܝܢ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܗܦܟ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܕܡܥܪܦܢܐ ܘܟܘܪܤܘܬܐ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܙܒܢܝܢ ܝܘܢܐ
16 and would not allow any one to carry anything through the Temple.
ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܗܘܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܢܥܒܪ ܡܐܢܐ ܒܓܘ ܗܝܟܠܐ
17 And He remonstrated with them. "Is it not written," He said, "'My House shall be called The House of Prayer for all the nations?' But you have made it what it now is--a robbers' cave."
ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܟܬܝܒ ܕܒܝܬܝ ܒܝܬ ܨܠܘܬܐ ܢܬܩܪܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܒܕܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܡܥܪܬܐ ܕܠܤܛܝܐ
18 This the High Priests and Scribes heard, and they began to devise means to destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, because of the deep impression produced on all the people by His teaching.
ܘܫܡܥܘ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܘܒܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܢܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܗ
19 When evening came on, Jesus and His disciples used to leave the city.
ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܪܡܫܐ ܢܦܩܘ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ
20 In the early morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree withered to the roots;
ܘܒܨܦܪܐ ܟܕ ܥܒܪܝܢ ܚܙܘ ܬܬܐ ܗܝ ܟܕ ܝܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܥܩܪܗ
21 and Peter, recollecting, said to Him, "Look, Rabbi, the fig-tree which you cursed is withered up."
ܘܐܬܕܟܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܒܝ ܗܐ ܬܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܠܛܬ ܝܒܫܬ
22 Jesus said to them, "Have faith in God.
ܘܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
23 In solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall say to this mountain, 'Remove, and hurl thyself into the sea,' and has no doubt about it in his heart, but stedfastly believes that what he says will happen, it shall be granted him.
ܐܡܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܐܫܬܩܠ ܘܦܠ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܦܠܓ ܒܠܒܗ ܐܠܐ ܢܗܝܡܢ ܕܗܘܐ ܗܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ
24 That is why I tell you, as to whatever you pray and make request for, if you believe that you have received it it shall be yours.
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܨܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܫܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܕܢܤܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ
25 But whenever you stand praying, if you have a grievance against any one, forgive it, so that your Father in Heaven may also forgive you your offences."
ܘܡܐ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܕܐܦ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܟܠܘܬܟܘܢ
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܫܒܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܦܠܐ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܟܠܘܬܟܘܢ
27 They came again to Jerusalem; and as He was walking in the Temple, the High Priests, Scribes and Elders came to Him
ܘܐܬܘ ܬܘܒ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܐܬܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ
28 and asked, "By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you authority to do them?"
ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܘܡܢܘ ܝܗܒ ܠܟ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܬܥܒܕ
29 "And I will put a question to you," replied Jesus; "answer me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܫܐܠܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܬܐܡܪܘܢ ܠܝ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ
30 John's Baptism--was it of Heavenly or of human origin? Answer me."
ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܝ
31 So they debated the matter with one another. "Suppose we say, 'Heavenly,'" they argued, "he will ask, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
ܘܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܕܐܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܢ ܘܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܬܘܢܝܗܝ
32 Or should we say, 'human?'" They were afraid of the people; for all agreed in holding John to have been really a Prophet.
ܘܕܢܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܕܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܒܝܐ ܗܘ
33 So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." "Nor do I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
ܘܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ
