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.
When they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples ahead
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 into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has sat. Untie it and bring it here.
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.’”
If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it.’ Then he will immediately send it here.”
4 Nusrɔ̃la eveawo dze mɔ, eye wokpɔ tedzivi la le ka me le aƒe aɖe godo. Esi wonɔ ka tumee la,
So they went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a door, and they untied it.
5 ame siwo nɔ tsitre ɖe afi ma la bia wo be, “Nu ka ta miele ka tum tedzivi la ɖo?”
But some of the people who were standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?”
6 Wogblɔ nya siwo Yesu be woagblɔ la na wo.
They answered them just as Jesus had instructed, and the people let them go.
7 Ale wokplɔ tedzivi la vɛ na Yesu eye nusrɔ̃lawo ɖe woƒe awuwo ɖo ɖe edzi be wòadoe.
Then they brought the colt to Jesus and put their garments on it, and he sat on it.
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.
Many people spread their garments on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and also spread them on the road.
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.”
Those who went ahead of him and those who followed were crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
10 “Woakafu Mawu be wòtrɔ Mía Fofo David ƒe fiaɖuƒe la vɛ na mí!” “Hosana le dziƒo ʋĩi.”
Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
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.
Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. When he had looked around at everything, he went out to Bethany with the twelve, since the hour was already late.
12 Esi ŋu ke ŋdi, eye wotrɔ tso Betania gbɔna la, dɔ wu Yesu le mɔa dzi.
On the next day, as they went out from Bethany, Jesus 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.
Seeing in the distance a fig tree that had leaves, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.
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)
In response Jesus said to the fig tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from yoʋ again!” And his disciples heard it. (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,
Then they came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were selling and buying there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves,
16 eye meɖe mɔ be ame aɖeke natsɔ naneke ato gbedoxɔ la me o.
and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple courts.
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.’”
Then he began to teach the people, saying, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you 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.
When the scribes and the chief priests heard this, they began looking for a way to destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because the entire crowd was astonished at his teaching.
19 Abe ale si wowɔna ɖaa ene la, Yesu kple eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo do go le dua me le fiẽ me lɔƒo.
And when evening came, he went out of 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.
In the morning, as they went along, they saw that the fig tree had withered from its roots.
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!”
Then Peter remembered what had happened and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, behold, the fig tree that yoʋ cursed has withered!”
22 Yesu ɖo eŋu be, “Mixɔ Mawu dzi se.
In response Jesus 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.
For truly I say to you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, whatever he says will be granted to him.
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 tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you are receiving it, and it will be yours.
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 whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your trespasses.
26 Ke ne mietsɔ ke amewo o la, mia Fofo hã matsɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake mi o.]”
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
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,
Again they came to Jerusalem, and as Jesus was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came up to him
28 “Ŋusẽ kae nètsɔ le nu siawo wɔm, eye ame kae na ŋusẽ sia wò?”
and said to him, “By what authority are yoʋ doing these things? And who gave yoʋ this authority to do them?”
29 Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Hafi maɖo nya sia ŋu na mi la, miawo hã miɖo nye biabia sia ŋu nam.
Jesus answered them, “I will also ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things:
30 Yohanes ƒe mawutsidede ta na ame ɖe, Dziƒo wòtso loo alo amewo gbɔ wòtsoa? Miɖo eŋu nam!”
Did John's authority to baptize come from heaven or from men? Answer 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?’
So they considered it among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why then did you 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 shall we say, ‘From men’?”—they were afraid of the people, for everyone thought that John was 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.”
So they answered Jesus, “We do not know.” In response Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
