Umatiyu 21
1 Sa Yeso na nu tarsa ume me wa hana agiro a betafaji ani hoho ni matiti muzaitun, Yeso matumi anu tarsa umeme ware.
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 ma gun we, “Hanani anyimo agiro aje ashi me idi ir atirza ku zenki i sapi i eh mini.
3 In ka uye ma iko shi igu ugomo Asere mani ma nyara, unu me madi nya shio debe debe.”
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 Ya cukuno anime bati a mwincika imujm me sa unuukurzo utize ta sere ma gu.
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 Buka ni bi sana bi urushalima, irani ugomo ushi me monno tantu aye ushi una ni ce ni shew ma haka azsere aku zenki.
6 Anu tarsa umeme wa wuzi imum sa ma wuna we rep.
So the [two] disciples went and did what Jesus told them to do.
7 Wa ehn ku zenki me wa tari turunga tuwe me Yeso ma cukuno,
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 maro mani gura me wa nasa tirunga tiwe me una me aye wa pussi mava wa nasa una me.
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 Anu me sa wa haka aje a Yeso nan anu tarsa ume wa yeze amigwiran wagu,” Hossana vana uDauda ugongon mani dee sa ma aye ani za ni gomo Asere. Hossana una ni nonzo kang.
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 Sa Yeso maribe uurshalima nipim niwu buu unnu gusa, Aveni mazigeme?
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 Nigo nanu ni kabirka,” Yeso unazarat nan ugalilio mani unnu kurzo utize ta sere.”.
The crowd [that was already following him] said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee!”
12 Yeso maribe udenge Asere magidi ana biziza nan ana bikpija kpija a nyimo me, ana ka curo kikirfi nan makpankun manu ziza uma hurbe.
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 Ma gun we, “nyettike akura am adi cukuno ahira abi ringara, shi be ya kurzo ani ahira ugunzuno akari.
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 A rubo nan nanu zatu tibuna wa eh anyimo udenge Asere ma human we.
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 Sa ana dangdang aka tuma nan anu nyerte udungara u musa wa ira timum tibi yau sa ma wuza wa kunna a hana inti hunu a nyimo udenge me unu gusa, “Hossana vana udauda muruba mu curno we.
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 Wa gun me, ukunna imum me sa anu ageme waboo? Yeso magun we eh! daki ya ira unyettike atinyo ta hana nan na hana anige wa suso ninonzo nuwe me?
[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 A binime Yeso ma suri ani pin me ma dusa uhana ubetanya maka mura abini me.
Then Jesus left the city. We [disciples] went [with him] to Bethany [town], and we slept there [that night].
18 Sa makuro ani pin me nisisizo makunna ikomo. S
Early [the next morning], when we were returning to the city, [Jesus] was hungry.
19 a ma ira utiti upom ani kira nu na ma haa daki makem ire imum ni ba, si mava, ma gu uni,” kati uka yoo ba, abini me utiti me waa. (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 Sa anu tarsa umeme wa ira wa kunna biyau wa gu “Awuza ana nime utiti upom me wa waa ana me?
[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 Yeso ma kabirka ma gun we kadundere in boshi in gi izi innu hem sarki uhara iruba, idi wuzi imum sa iteki ige sa a wuza utiti upom, idi gu unu pana uhira uka rizo uraba udang i cukuno anime.
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 Vat imum be sa ya iko in biringara a nyimo uhem idi kem.
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 Sa Yeso maribe a nyimo udenge Asere anu adangdang aka tuma nan anu ww eh ahira me wa gu,” in ni ya nikara nini uzin unuwuza im
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 um igeme? aveni ma nya we nikara me? Yeso makabirka ma gun we, mi cangi in di iki shi imum indai, inka ya bukani mi, in di buki shi ini kara na veni in zin katuma ka geme.
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 Ubaptisma uyohana wa suri abani wa suri a hira Asere a hira anaboo? wa gamari ace awe unu gusa,”
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 ingi ta guna ahira Asere, madi gu nyanini ya wuna daki ya hem mi ba. Ingi ta guna a hira anaboo, ti ta duru imum me sa anu wadi wuzin duru ba barki sa wa zika Yohana unu kurzo utize ta Asere mani.
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 Wa kabitka wa gun Yeso, ti tan duru ba, ma gu in we “mi in da bukam shi nikara sa in wuza timum ti geme ba cangi.”
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 Ani nya nini ya ira? uye ma zin na hana ware a ruma, ma ha a hira anu tuba me ma gu “usam um hana ka wuza katuma ku ruu.
[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 Vana ma gu,”inda hanam ba”. unu sa ma eh inna dumo magamari maha.
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 Aco me ma ha a hira unu kure me ma buki me ma gu, indi ha aco um. ma gaa me uhana me.
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 A nyimo awe ware me aveni ma wuza imum me sa aco ume me ma nyari? wa gu “unu tuba me”. Yeso ma gun we,” kadundere im boo shi anu kabsa ikirfi ima nyanga nan anu ziza apum wadi agiza shi u ribe ati gomo ta Sere.
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 I rusa Yohana ma bezi shi una iruba ubenki I ga shi uhem. Anu kabsa ikirfi ima nyanga nan na nu ziza apum wa hem in me. vati ani me daki ya hem ya barka ba”
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 Kunna ni tire tize ta nyimo, ure unu mara ni ma wuzi tibira uruu me ma bari ugumbi nan a hira upillo umgwei ma ma titi wanu denge unu bee urume ma nya age ma dusa a mare ma nyanga.
“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 Sa uganiya uoro usanna wa aye na tumi arere ame me a hira anu kaba uruu me wa ka bi me ime.
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 Ani me wa meki arere me wa tiri unu indai wa hu uye wa kuri wa tizi uye.
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 Unu uruu me ma kuri ma tumi aye sa wa teki ana je me, ana katuma uruu me wa kuri wa wuzi we kasi ana tuba me.
[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 A ani me unu ruu me ma kuri ma tumi vana umeme unu guna wadi ka nata me nice.
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 Sa ana katuma ku ruu me wa ira vana me, wa gu na cec, usam me mani Ca ti hu me ti can ti uruu me.
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 Abini me wa ziki me wa suri a nyimo uruume wa ka huna me.
So they grabbed him, dragged him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Ani me ingi unu ruu me ma aye nyanini madi wuzi ana ka tuma kuruu me?
[Now I ask you], when the landowner returns to his vineyard, what [do you think] he will do to those renters?”
41 Anu wa gu madi hu anu abur agino me unaa upazaza, ma kabi uruu me ma nya aye sa wadi nya me inni ganiya U uro usana.
[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 Yeso ma gun we,” daki ya ira a nyimo u nyettike Asere, Nipo me sa ana soo wa nyari me niney nini na cukuno ni huma, anime ani a hira Asere ani imum ibi biyau ini aje aruu.
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 Barki anime in boo shi, ti gomo ta Asere adi kabi ashi a nya wnde sa wadi yozo ahana.
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 Dee sa ma rizo ani po ni geme madi pussa magitum, dee sa nipo me na rizo ame nidi nyezirke me.
[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 Sa ana dangdang aka tuma nan anu bezi urusa wa kunna tize tini hunzi tumeme wa russi ma boo we wani.
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 Wa nyari umeki ume wa kunna biyau banu, barki sa anu wa zika me unu kurzo utize ta Asere mani.
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.
