Maka 11
1 Jesu leni o ŋoadi kaaba n den nagini jelusalema ban den ye betifaje leni betani naginma ki ku leni olife juali Jesu den soani ŋoadikaaba lie ki yedi ba:
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.
2 gedi mani yaa dogu n ye yi liiga yi ya kua lienni yaa yogunu yi ba la li ŋunbisaagili ke li luo, yaali nilo ba kuli daa jagini o yin lodi o ki cuani ne.
"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.
3 Nilo yaa buali yi be teni ke yi tieni line? Yin yedi o o diedo n bua o lani o baa teni yin cuani o.
And if any one asks you, 'Why are you doing that?' say, 'The Master needs it, and will send it back here without delay.'"
4 Bi den gedi ki sua li ŋunbisaagili luo bu buliñoabu kani bi den lodi o.
So they went and found a young ass tied up at the front door of a house. They were untying it,
5 Ya niba n den ye li kani den buali ba yi tieni be n yeni?
when some of the bystanders called out, "What are you doing, untying the foal?"
6 Bi den guani ba nani Jesu n den yedimaama lani bi den cedi ke bi gedini li.
But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give, they let them take it.
7 Bi den cuani li ŋunbisaagili yeni Jesu kani ke bi niba den lugidi ki maani bi tiadi opo ke Jesu jagini li.
So they brought the foal to Jesus, and threw their outer garments over him; and Jesus mounted.
8 Bi niba boncianla den ladi bi tiadi u sanu nni bine mo i tibeni ban den ja yi i kuani nni.
Then many spread their outer garments to carpet the road, and others leafy branches which they had cut down in the fields;
9 Yaaba n den ye Jesu liiga leni yaaba n den ŋoa o puoli kuli den kpaani ki tua: ti pagi U Tienu, U Tienu n seligi yua n kpenda o diedo yeli nni
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.
10 U Tienu n seligi yaa bali n baa je ne, Dafidi n den kpa dini yaa bali. O diedo yeli n ba ti kpiagidi ŋali tanpoli joma.
Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our forefather David! God in the highest Heavens save Him!"
11 Jesu den kua U Tienu diegu nni o den diidi li bonla kuli nani ki yenga n den bua ki kua o den gedi Betani wan leni bi piiga n niliediba.
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.
12 Lan den fii ki fa ke bi ñani Betani, mi koma den cuo Jesu.
The next day, after they had left Bethany, He was hungry.
13 Jesu den laa bu kankanbu ŋali foagima ke bu pia ti faadi o den gedi ki baa la ŋali o yaa baa ba bonla ba bu kani. Ama wan den nagini o den sua kali ti faadi bebe, kelima laa den tie a kankana lonma yogunu.
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);
14 O den maadi ki yedi oba kuli nda go ŋmani a bonluonkaala, o hoadikaaba den gbadi wan yedi yaala. (aiōn g165)
and He said to the tree, "Let no one ever again eat fruit from thee!" And His disciples heard this. (aiōn g165)
15 Bi den pundi Jelusalema ke Jesu den kua U Tienu diegu nni o den deli a kpenkpenda leni yaaba n da U Tienu diegu nni. O den tudi ki luni bi ligilebiba tabilinba leni yaaba n kuadi a kpajela kalikaani.
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,
16 Waa den tuo ke nilo ba kuli n go tugi bonlaba kuli ki poandi U Tienu diegu nni.
and would not allow any one to carry anything through the Temple.
17 O den bangi ba ki yedi: laa diani ke n diegu baa yi i jaandi diegu i nibuoli kuli po kaa? Ama yinba wan teni ke ku tua a sugida wuonkaanu.
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."
18 Bi kopadicianba leni li bali maama bangi kaaba n den gbadi laa maama bi den lingi ban baa tieni maama ki kpa o, bi den jie kelima o bangima den cuo bi niba kuli pala.
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.
19 Ku yenjuagu n den pundi Jesu den ñani u dogu nni.
When evening came on, Jesus and His disciples used to leave the city.
20 Lan den fii ki fa ke bi goa u dogu nni, ban den poa da bu kankanbu yeni kani, bi den la ke bu kuodi ki taani leni bu jiini.
In the early morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree withered to the roots;
21 Pieli den tiadi yaala n den tieni ki yedi: canba diidi ŋan den soli yaa kankanbu yeni kuodi.
and Peter, recollecting, said to Him, "Look, Rabbi, the fig-tree which you cursed is withered up."
22 Jesu den taa mi maama ki yedi: ya pia mani li dandanli U Tienu po.
Jesus said to them, "Have faith in God.
23 N yedi yi imoamoani o nilo yaa yedi li naa juali fii ki ban lu a yuli mi ñincianma nni kaa maliti o pali nni ama ki daani ke wan yedi yaala baa tieni o baa la ke li tieni.
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.
24 Lani yaapo n yedi i moamoani yin ba jaandi ki miadi yaala kuli yin daani ke yi baa la lani yi baa ba la.
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.
25 Yin se ki jaandi yaa yogunu kuli ki tiadi ki tiadi ke yi pia maama leni niloba yin pa mani o sugili ke yi ba yua n ye tanpoli n pa yi mo sugili yi yaa tuonbiadi po.
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."
26 Ama yi yaa puuni yi lieba sugili, yi baa yua n ye tonpo moko kan pa yi sugili yi tuonbiadi po.
27 Bi go den gedi Jelusalema Jesu n den gaandi U Tienu diegu nni yaa yogunu bi kopadicianba, li balimaama bangikaaba leni bi nikpejuoginkaaba den cua o kani. Bi den yedi o:
They came again to Jerusalem; and as He was walking in the Temple, the High Priests, Scribes and Elders came to Him
28 li laa bali po yo ke a tiendi yaa bonla n tiene, ŋme puni a laa bali ke a tiendi laa bonla?
and asked, "By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you authority to do them?"
29 Jesu den yedi ba: n moko baa buali yi u bualu yin guani npo lali n moko baa waani yi yaa bali po ke n tiendi laa bonla.
"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.
30 Jan n den batisi bi niba yeni o den ba li bali tanpoli po bi, bi bi nisaaliba kane? Waani nni mani.
John's Baptism--was it of Heavenly or of human origin? Answer me."
31 Bi den tua bi yaba, ti ya yedi ke o den ba li bali tanpoli o ba yedi: be teni ke yii den daani o maama?
So they debated the matter with one another. "Suppose we say, 'Heavenly,'" they argued, "he will ask, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
32 Ti ya yedi bi niba kani mo, ... bi den jie bi niba, kelima bi niba kuli den nua ke Jan tie sawalipualo.
Or should we say, 'human?'" They were afraid of the people; for all agreed in holding John to have been really a Prophet.
33 Lanwani bi den goa ki yedi Jesu tii bani. Lani Jesu den goa ki yedi ba, n moko kan waani yi yaa bali yaa po ke n tieni laa bonla.
So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." "Nor do I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
