Marko 11
1 Esi wogogo Betfage kple Betania le Yerusalem gbɔ, eye wova ɖo Amito la gbɔ la, Yesu dɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃la eve be woado ŋgɔ na yewo.
And as they approached Jerusalem, near by Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
2 Egblɔ na wo be, “Miyi kɔƒe si le mia ŋgɔ la me. Ne miege ɖe eme teti ko la, miakpɔ tedzivi si womedo kpɔ o la le ka me. Mitui ne miakplɔe vɛ.
and said to them: Go ye to the village that is over against us, and as soon as ye enter it, ye will find a colt tied, on which no person hath ridden: loose him, and bring him hither.
3 Ne ame aɖe bia mi be nu ka ta miele ka ɖemee hã la, migblɔ nɛ ko be, ‘Aƒetɔ lae le ehiãm, eye aɖoe ɖa enumake.’”
And, if any one say to you, Why do ye this? Say ye to him: Because our Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will send him hither.
4 Nusrɔ̃la eveawo dze mɔ, eye wokpɔ tedzivi la le ka me le aƒe aɖe godo. Esi wonɔ ka tumee la,
And they went, and they found the colt tied, by the door, without in the street. And as they were loosing him,
5 ame siwo nɔ tsitre ɖe afi ma la bia wo be, “Nu ka ta miele ka tum tedzivi la ɖo?”
some of those standing there, said to them: What do ye, untying the colt?
6 Wogblɔ nya siwo Yesu be woagblɔ la na wo.
And they said to them, as Jesus had commanded them; and they permitted them.
7 Ale wokplɔ tedzivi la vɛ na Yesu eye nusrɔ̃lawo ɖe woƒe awuwo ɖo ɖe edzi be wòadoe.
And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments upon him, and set Jesus upon him.
8 Ame geɖewo ɖo woƒe avɔwo ɖe mɔa dzi le eŋgɔ be wòazɔ wo dzi, eye ɖewo hã ŋe atilɔwo ɖo ɖe mɔa dzi nɛ fũu.
And many spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and strewed them in the way.
9 Eya ŋutɔ nɔ titina, ame aɖewo nɔ eŋgɔ, eye ɖewo hã nɔ eyome, eye wo katã wonɔ ɣli dom dzidzɔtɔe be, “Hosana!” “Woyra ame si gbɔna le Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋkɔ me.”
And those preceding him, and those following him shouted and said: Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
10 “Woakafu Mawu be wòtrɔ Mía Fofo David ƒe fiaɖuƒe la vɛ na mí!” “Hosana le dziƒo ʋĩi.”
And blessed is the advancing kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest heavens.
11 Ale wòge ɖe Yerusalem dua me, eye woyi gbedoxɔ la me. Etsa ŋku godoo le teƒea, lé ŋku ɖe nu sia nu ŋu tsitotsito, eye wòtrɔ dzo yi Betania kple nusrɔ̃la wuieveawo elabena zã nɔ dodom.
And Jesus entered Jerusalem and the temple, and surveyed every thing. And when evening arrived, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 Esi ŋu ke ŋdi, eye wotrɔ tso Betania gbɔna la, dɔ wu Yesu le mɔa dzi.
And the following day, as he left Bethany, he was hungry:
13 Ekpɔ gboti aɖe si da ama ŋutɔ, ale wòte ɖe eŋu be yeakpɔ kutsetse aɖe le edzi hã, gake aŋgbawo koe nɔ ati la dzi, elabena eƒe kutseɣi meɖo o.
and he saw a fig-tree at a distance, on which were leaves, and he came to it, if he could find somewhat on it. And when he had come, he found on it only leaves; for the time of figs had not arrived.
14 Yesu ƒo fi de ati la be, “Ame aɖeke magaɖu wò kutsetse aɖeke kpɔ gbeɖe o.” Nusrɔ̃lawo hã se nya si wògblɔ la. (aiōn g165)
And he said to it: Henceforth and for ever, let no man eat fruit from thee: and the disciples heard it. And they came to Jerusalem. (aiōn g165)
15 Esi wova ɖo Yerusalem la, egayi gbedoxɔa ƒe xɔxɔnu, eye wòde asi nudzralawo kple nuƒlelawo nyanya do goe me. Emu gaɖɔlilawo ƒe kplɔ̃wo ƒu anyi, ekaka akpakpadzralawo ƒe zikpuiwo,
And Jesus entered the temple of God: and he began to cast out those who bought and sold in the temple; and he overturned the counters of the money-brokers, and the seats of them that sold doves.
16 eye meɖe mɔ be ame aɖeke natsɔ naneke ato gbedoxɔ la me o.
And he suffered no one to carry goods through the temple.
17 Egay eƒe nufiafia dzi hegblɔ na ameawo be, “Ɖe womeŋlɔe ɖi be, ‘Nye gbedoxɔ anye gbedoɖaƒe na dukɔwo katã oa’? Gake miawo mietsɔe wɔ ‘fiafitɔwo ƒe nɔƒee.’”
And he taught them, and said: Is it not written, My house shall be called the house of prayer for all nations? But ye have made it a den of robbers.
18 Esi nunɔlagãwo kple sefialawo se nu si Yesu wɔ la, wode aɖaŋu le ale si woawɔ awui la ŋuti. Ke wonɔ vɔvɔ̃m, elabena ame geɖewo kpɔ dzidzɔ le Yesu ƒe nufiafia ŋuti.
And the chief priests and the Scribes heard him, and they sought how they might destroy him; for they were afraid of him, because all the people admired his doctrine.
19 Abe ale si wowɔna ɖaa ene la, Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo do go le dua me le fiẽ me lɔƒo.
And when it was evening, they went out from the city.
20 Esi ŋu ke ŋdi la, wova to gboti si Yesu ƒo fi de la ŋuti, eye wokpɔ be, ati la yrɔ sũu.
And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree dried up, as it were, from its root.
21 Kasia Petro ɖo ŋku nya si Yesu gblɔ na ati la dzi, eye wògblɔ be, “Kpɔ ɖa, Nufiala! Ati si nèƒo fi de la yrɔ!”
And Simon remembered, and said to him: Rabbi; behold, the fig-tree which thou cursedst, is dried up.
22 Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Mixɔ Mawu dzi se.
And Jesus replied, and said to them: Have faith in God.
23 Nyateƒenya wònye be ne ame aɖe agblɔ na to sia be, ‘Yi, nàtsɔ ɖokuiwò ƒu gbe ɖe atsiaƒu me’ eye ɖikeke mele eƒe dzi me o la, ava eme nɛ.
Verily I say to you, That whoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed, and fall into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he said will occur, to him will be the thing he spoke.
24 Eya ta mele egblɔm na mi be nu sia nu si miabia to gbedodoɖa me la, mixɔe se be miaxɔe, eye wòaka mia si hã.
Therefore I say to you, That whatsoever ye shall pray and ask for, believe that it will be, and it will be to you.
25 Gake ne miebe yewoado gbe ɖa la, mitsɔ ame siwo ƒe nyawo le dɔ me na mi la ke wo gbã be mia Fofo si le dziƒo hã natsɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake mi. [
And when ye stand up to pray, forgive what ye have against any one; that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive your offences.
26 Ke ne mietsɔ ke amewo o la, mia Fofo hã matsɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake mi o.]”
For if ye forgive not, your Father also who is in heaven will not forgive you your offences.
27 Wogava ɖo Yerusalem, eye esi wònɔ tsa ɖim le gbedoxɔ la me la, nunɔlagãwo kple agbalẽfialawo kpakple Yudatɔwo ƒe amegã bubuwo va tui hebiae be,
And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and Scribes and Elders came to him,
28 “Ŋusẽ kae nètsɔ le nu siawo wɔm, eye ame kae na ŋusẽ sia wò?”
and said to him: By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee the authority to do these things?
29 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Hafi maɖo nya sia ŋu na mi la, miawo hã miɖo nye biabia sia ŋu nam.
And Jesus said to them: I also will ask you one thing, that ye may tell me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 Yohanes ƒe mawutsidede ta na ame ɖe, Dziƒo wòtso loo alo amewo gbɔ wòtsoa? Miɖo eŋu nam!”
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or from men? Tell me.
31 Wodzro nya sia me le wo ɖokuiwo dome, eye wogblɔ be, “Ne míegblɔ be, ‘Etso dziƒo’ la, abia mí be, ‘Ekema nu ka ŋutie miexɔ edzi se o?’
And they reasoned with themselves, and said: If we should say to him, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 Gake ne míegblɔ be, ‘Amewo gbɔ wòtso la’ …” (Wovɔ̃ be ʋunyaʋunya adzɔ, elabena amewo katã xɔe se be Yohanes nye nyagblɔɖila.)
But if we should say, From men; there is fear from the people; for they have all held John to be truly a prophet.
33 Esia ta wogblɔ nɛ be, “Míenya o.” Yesu hã gblɔ na wo be, “Ekema nye hã nyemagblɔ ŋusẽ si metsɔ le nu siawo wɔm la na mi o.”
And they answered, and said to Jesus: We do not know. He said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
