Matteuksen 21
1 Ja kun he lähestyivät Jerusalemia ja saapuivat Beetfageen, Öljymäelle, silloin Jeesus lähetti kaksi opetuslasta
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.
2 ja sanoi heille: "Menkää kylään, joka on edessänne, niin te kohta löydätte aasintamman sidottuna ja varsan sen kanssa; päästäkää ne ja tuokaa minulle.
3 Ja jos joku teille jotakin sanoo, niin vastatkaa: 'Herra tarvitsee niitä'; ja kohta hän lähettää ne."
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.”
4 Mutta tämä tapahtui, että kävisi toteen, mikä on puhuttu profeetan kautta, joka sanoo:
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.’”
5 "Sanokaa tytär Siionille: 'Katso, sinun kuninkaasi tulee sinulle hiljaisena ja ratsastaen aasilla, ikeenalaisen aasin varsalla'."
6 Niin opetuslapset menivät ja tekivät, niinkuin Jeesus oli heitä käskenyt,
So the [two] disciples went and did what Jesus told them to do.
7 ja toivat aasintamman varsoineen ja panivat niiden selkään vaatteensa, ja hän istuutui niiden päälle.
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.
8 Ja suurin osa kansasta levitti vaatteensa tielle, ja toiset karsivat oksia puista ja hajottivat tielle.
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].
9 Ja kansanjoukot, jotka kulkivat hänen edellään ja jotka seurasivat, huusivat sanoen: "Hoosianna Daavidin pojalle! Siunattu olkoon hän, joka tulee Herran nimeen. Hoosianna korkeuksissa!"
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]!”
10 Ja kun hän tuli Jerusalemiin, joutui koko kaupunki liikkeelle ja sanoi: "Kuka tämä on?"
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]?”
11 Niin kansa sanoi: "Tämä on se profeetta, Jeesus, Galilean Nasaretista".
The crowd [that was already following him] said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee!”
12 Ja Jeesus meni pyhäkköön; ja hän ajoi ulos kaikki, jotka myivät ja ostivat pyhäkössä, ja kaatoi kumoon rahanvaihtajain pöydät ja kyyhkysten myyjäin istuimet.
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].
13 Ja hän sanoi heille: "Kirjoitettu on: 'Minun huoneeni pitää kutsuttaman rukoushuoneeksi', mutta te teette siitä ryövärien luolan."
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!”
14 Ja hänen tykönsä pyhäkössä tuli sokeita ja rampoja, ja hän paransi heidät.
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.
15 Mutta kun ylipapit ja kirjanoppineet näkivät ne ihmeet, joita hän teki, ja lapset, jotka huusivat pyhäkössä ja sanoivat: "Hoosianna Daavidin pojalle", niin he närkästyivät
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].
16 ja sanoivat hänelle: "Kuuletko, mitä nämä sanovat?" Niin Jeesus sanoi heille: "Kuulen; ettekö ole koskaan lukeneet: 'Lasten ja imeväisten suusta sinä olet valmistanut itsellesi kiitoksen'?"
[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.’”
17 Ja hän jätti heidät ja meni ulos kaupungista Betaniaan ja oli siellä yötä.
Then Jesus left the city. We [disciples] went [with him] to Bethany [town], and we slept there [that night].
18 Kun hän varhain aamulla palasi kaupunkiin, oli hänen nälkä.
Early [the next morning], when we were returning to the city, [Jesus] was hungry.
19 Ja nähdessään tien vieressä viikunapuun hän meni sen luo, mutta ei löytänyt siitä muuta kuin pelkkiä lehtiä; ja hän sanoi sille: "Älköön sinusta ikinä enää hedelmää kasvako". Ja kohta viikunapuu kuivettui. (aiōn g165)
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)
20 Kun opetuslapset tämän näkivät, ihmettelivät he ja sanoivat: "Kuinka viikunapuu niin äkisti kuivettui?"
[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]
21 Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi heille: "Totisesti minä sanon teille: jos teillä olisi uskoa ettekä epäilisi, niin ette ainoastaan voisi tehdä sitä, mikä viikunapuussa tapahtui, vaan vieläpä, jos sanoisitte tälle vuorelle: 'Kohoa ja heittäydy mereen', niin se tapahtuisi.
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!
22 Ja kaiken, mitä te anotte rukouksessa, uskoen, te saatte."
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].”
23 Ja kun hän oli mennyt pyhäkköön, tulivat hänen opettaessaan ylipapit ja kansan vanhimmat hänen luoksensa ja sanoivat: "Millä vallalla sinä näitä teet? Ja kuka sinulle on antanut tämän vallan?"
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]?”
24 Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi heille: "Minä myös teen teille yhden kysymyksen; jos te minulle siihen vastaatte, niin minäkin sanon teille, millä vallalla minä näitä teen.
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.
25 Mistä Johanneksen kaste oli? Taivaastako vai ihmisistä?" Niin he neuvottelivat keskenänsä sanoen: "Jos sanomme: 'Taivaasta', niin hän sanoo meille: 'Miksi ette siis uskoneet häntä?'
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]’
26 Mutta jos sanomme: 'Ihmisistä', niin meidän täytyy peljätä kansaa, sillä kaikki pitävät Johannesta profeettana."
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].”
27 Ja he vastasivat Jeesukselle ja sanoivat: "Emme tiedä". Niin hänkin sanoi heille: "Niinpä en minäkään sano teille, millä vallalla minä näitä teen.
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].”
28 Mutta miten teistä on? Miehellä oli kaksi poikaa; ja hän meni ensimmäisen luo ja sanoi: 'Poikani, mene tänään tekemään työtä minun viinitarhaani'.
[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!’
29 Tämä vastasi ja sanoi: 'En tahdo'; mutta jäljestäpäin hän katui ja meni.
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].
30 Niin hän meni toisen luo ja sanoi samoin. Tämä taas vastasi ja sanoi: 'Minä menen, herra', mutta ei mennytkään.
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.
31 Kumpi näistä kahdesta teki isänsä tahdon?" He sanoivat: "Ensimmäinen". Jeesus sanoi heille: "Totisesti minä sanon teille: publikaanit ja portot menevät ennen teitä Jumalan valtakuntaan.
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.
32 Sillä Johannes tuli teidän tykönne vanhurskauden tietä, ja te ette uskoneet häntä, mutta publikaanit ja portot uskoivat häntä; ja vaikka te sen näitte, ette jäljestäpäinkään katuneet, niin että olisitte häntä uskoneet.
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].”
33 Kuulkaa toinen vertaus: Oli perheenisäntä, joka istutti viinitarhan ja teki aidan sen ympärille ja kaivoi siihen viinikuurnan ja rakensi tornin; ja hän vuokrasi sen viinitarhureille ja matkusti muille maille.
“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.
34 Ja kun hedelmäin aika lähestyi, lähetti hän palvelijoitansa viinitarhurien luokse perimään hänelle tulevat hedelmät.
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].
35 Mutta viinitarhurit ottivat kiinni hänen palvelijansa; minkä he pieksivät, minkä tappoivat, minkä kivittivät.
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.
36 Vielä hän lähetti toisia palvelijoita, useampia kuin ensimmäiset; ja näille he tekivät samoin.
[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].
37 Mutta viimein hän lähetti heidän luokseen poikansa sanoen: 'Minun poikaani he kavahtavat'.
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].’
38 Mutta kun viinitarhurit näkivät pojan, sanoivat he keskenänsä: 'Tämä on perillinen; tulkaa, tappakaamme hänet, niin me saamme hänen perintönsä'.
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].’
39 Ja he ottivat hänet kiinni ja heittivät ulos viinitarhasta ja tappoivat.
So they grabbed him, dragged him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Kun viinitarhan herra tulee, mitä hän tekee noille viinitarhureille?"
[Now I ask you], when the landowner returns to his vineyard, what [do you think] he will do to those renters?”
41 He sanoivat hänelle: "Nuo pahat hän pahoin tuhoaa ja vuokraa viinitarhan toisille viinitarhureille, jotka antavat hänelle hedelmät ajallansa".
[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.”
42 Jeesus sanoi heille: "Ettekö ole koskaan lukeneet kirjoituksista: 'Se kivi, jonka rakentajat hylkäsivät, on tullut kulmakiveksi; Herralta tämä on tullut ja on ihmeellinen meidän silmissämme'?
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.
43 Sentähden minä sanon teille: Jumalan valtakunta otetaan teiltä pois ja annetaan kansalle, joka tekee sen hedelmiä.
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.
44 Ja joka tähän kiveen kaatuu, se ruhjoutuu, mutta jonka päälle se kaatuu, sen se murskaa."
[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.”
45 Kun ylipapit ja fariseukset kuulivat nämä hänen vertauksensa, ymmärsivät he, että hän puhui heistä.
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].
46 Ja he olisivat tahtoneet ottaa hänet kiinni, mutta pelkäsivät kansaa, koska se piti häntä profeettana.
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.
