Mak 11
1 Mgbe ha na-abịaru Jerusalem nso, ha rutere Betfeji na Betani nʼUgwu Oliv. Jisọs zipụrụ mmadụ abụọ nʼime ndị na-eso ụzọ ya.
When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
2 Ọ gwara ha sị, “Gaanụ nʼime obodo nta dị nʼihu unu. Mgbe unu na-abanye nʼime ya, unu ga-ahụ nwa ịnyịnya e kedoro nʼebe ahụ nke onye ọbụla na-arịkwasịbeghị nʼelu ya. Tọpụnụ ya nʼagbụ, kpụtaranụ m ya.
and said to them, "Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has yet sat. Untie him, and bring him.
3 Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla asị unu, ‘Gịnị mere unu ji na-atọpụ ya nʼagbụ?’ sịnụ onye ahụ, ‘Ọ dị Onyenwe anyị mkpa, ọ ga-akpụghachitekwa ya ngwangwa.’”
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'Because the Lord needs it,' and he will send it back here at once."
4 Ha ruru ma hụ otu nwa ịnyịnya e kedoro nʼakụkụ ụzọ, nʼihu otu ụlọ nke dị nʼama. Dị ka ha na-atọpụ ya,
They went away, and found a colt tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.
5 ụfọdụ mmadụ guzo nʼebe ahụ sịrị ha, “Gịnị ka unu na-eme, unu na-atọpụ nwa ịnyịnya a?”
Some of those who stood there asked them, "What are you doing, untying the young donkey?"
6 Ha gwara ha ihe Jisọs kwuru, ha hapụkwara ha ka ha tọrọ ịnyịnya ibu ahụ.
They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.
7 Ha kpụtaara Jisọs nwa ịnyịnya ahụ, ma wụkwasịkwa uwe ha nʼelu ya, ọ nọkwasịrị nʼelu ya.
They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.
8 Ọtụtụ mmadụ tụsara uwe ha nʼokporoụzọ, ma ndị ọzọ tụsara alaka osisi ha gbutere nʼọhịa.
Many spread their garments on the way, and others spread branches which they had cut from the fields.
9 Ndị na-aga nʼihu na ndị na-esokwa nʼazụ, tiri mkpu na-asị, “Hozanna!” “Onye a gọziri agọzi ka onye ahụ bụ nke na-abịa nʼaha Onyenwe anyị!”
Those who went in front, and those who followed, shouted, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
10 “Ngọzị dịrị alaeze ahụ na-abịa nke nna anyị Devid!” “Hozanna nʼebe kachasị ihe niile elu!”
Blessed is the kingdom of our father David. Hosanna in the highest."
11 Mgbe ọ batara na Jerusalem, ọ gara nʼime nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ. Mgbe o legharịchara anya nʼihe niile dị nʼebe ahụ, ma ebe ọ bụ na chi ejiela, ya na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya pụrụ gaa Betani.
And he entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.
12 Nʼechi ya, mgbe ha si Betani na-apụta, agụụ gụrụ ya.
The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry.
13 Site nʼebe dị anya, ọ hụrụ otu osisi fiig nke nwere akwụkwọ ndụ. Mgbe ọ bịaruru osisi ahụ nso, ọ gagharịrị nʼukwu ya niile ma ọ ga-achọta mkpụrụ nʼelu ya, ma ọ hụghị mkpụrụ ọbụla, naanị akwụkwọ ndụ, nʼihi na oge a abụghị oge osisi a ji amị mkpụrụ.
Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
14 Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara osisi ahụ sị, “Ka mmadụ ọbụla ghara iri mkpụrụ sitere na gị ruo ebighị ebi.” Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya nụrụ mgbe o kwuru okwu a. (aiōn g165)
Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." and his disciples heard it. (aiōn g165)
15 Mgbe ha ruru Jerusalem, ọ banyere nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu, bido ịchụpụ ndị na-azụ ahịa na ndị na-ere ahịa nʼebe ahụ. O kpugharịrị tebul ndị na-agbanwe ego, kwatuokwa oche niile nʼọdụ ahịa ndị na-ere nduru.
They came to Jerusalem, and he entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.
16 O gbochikwara onye ọbụla iwebata ngwongwo ahịa orire nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ.
He would not allow anyone to carry a container through the temple.
17 Ma dị ka ọ na-ezi ha ihe, ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụ na-edeghị ya sị, Ụlọ m ka a ga-akpọ ụlọ ekpere nye mba niile? Ma unu emeela ya ọgba ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe nʼike.”
He taught, saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?' But you have made it a den of robbers."
18 Mgbe ndịisi nchụaja na ndị ozizi iwu nụrụ nke a, ha malitere na-achọ ụzọ igbu ya ma ha tụrụ egwu ya nʼihi na ozizi ya juru igwe mmadụ niile ahụ anya.
The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching.
19 Mgbe uhuruchi bịara, Jisọs na ndị na-eso ụzọ ya siri nʼobodo ahụ pụọ.
When evening came, they went out of the city.
20 Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, mgbe ha na-agafe, ha hụrụ na osisi fiig a esitela na mgbọrọgwụ ya kpọnwụọ.
As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.
21 Pita chetara ihe merenụ ma sị ya, “Onye ozizi, lee! Osisi fiig ahụ ị bụrụ ọnụ akpọnwụọla!”
Peter, remembering, said to him, "Teacher, look. The fig tree which you cursed has withered away."
22 Jisọs zara ha sị, “Nweenụ okwukwe nʼime Chineke.
Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
23 Nʼezie agwa m unu, ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla asị ugwu a, ‘Si nʼebe a wezuga onwe gị, gaa dabanye nʼoke osimiri,’ nke na-enweghị obi abụọ nʼime ya, kama o kweere na ihe o kwuru ga-emezu, ihe ahụ ọ kwuru ga-emezukwa.
Truly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
24 Ya mere, ka m gwa unu, ihe ọbụla unu rịọrọ nʼekpere, kwerenụ na unu anatala ya, ọ ga-abụkwa nke unu.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
25 Ma mgbe ọbụla unu guzoro na-ekpe ekpere, gbagharanụ, ma ọ bụrụ na unu nwere ihe ọbụla megide onye ọbụla, ka Nna unu nke bi nʼeluigwe gbagharakwa unu mmehie unu.
Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your wrongdoing.
26 Ma ọ bụrụ na unu agbagharaghị, Nna unu nke bi nʼeluigwe agaghị agbagharakwa unu mmehie unu.”
But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your wrongdoing."
27 Mgbe ha rutere Jerusalem ọzọ, ọ nọ na-ejegharị nʼime ogige ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ozizi iwu na ndị okenye ndị Juu bịakwutere ya.
They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,
28 Ha sịrị ya, “Olee ikike i ji eme ihe ndị a ị na-eme? Onye nyere gị ikike ime ha?”
and they began saying to him, "By what authority do you do these things? And who gave you this authority to do these things?"
29 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Aga m ajụ unu otu ajụjụ, unu zaa m ya, aga m agwakwa unu onye nyere m ikike m ji eme ihe ndị a.
Jesus said to them, "I will also ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30 Baptizim nke Jọn, o sitere nʼeluigwe ka ọ bụ nʼaka mmadụ? Gwanụ m.”
The baptism of John—was it from heaven, or from people? Answer me."
31 Ha kparịtara ụka nʼetiti onwe ha ma sị, “Ọ bụrụ na anyị asị, ‘O sitere nʼeluigwe,’ ọ ga-asị anyị, ‘Gịnị mere unu na-ejighị kwenye na ya?’
They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we should say, 'From heaven;' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
32 Ma ọ bụrụ na anyị asị, ‘O sitere nʼaka mmadụ.’” (Ha na-atụ egwu ndị mmadụ, nʼihi na ha niile kwenyere na Jọn bụ onye amụma nʼezie.)
If we should say, 'From people'"—they feared the crowd, for all held John to really be a prophet.
33 Ya mere ha zara Jisọs sị, “Anyị amaghị.” Jisọs zaghachikwara ha sị, “Agakwaghị m agwa unu ụdị ikike m ji na-eme ihe ndị a.”
They answered and said to Jesus, "We do not know." Jesus said to them, "Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things."
