Mattheum 21
1 Et cum appropinquassent Jerosolymis, et venissent Bethphage ad montem Oliveti: tunc Jesus misit duos discipulos,
And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 dicens eis: Ite in castellum, quod contra vos est, et statim invenietis asinam alligatam, et pullum cum ea: solvite, et adducite mihi:
saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose [them], and bring [them] unto me.
3 et si quis vobis aliquid dixerit, dicite quia Dominus his opus habet: et confestim dimittet eos.
And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per prophetam dicentem:
Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 [Dicite filiæ Sion: Ecce rex tuus venit tibi mansuetus, sedens super asinam, et pullum filium subjugalis.]
Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass.
6 Euntes autem discipuli fecerunt sicut præcepit illis Jesus.
And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them,
7 Et adduxerunt asinam, et pullum: et imposuerunt super eos vestimenta sua, et eum desuper sedere fecerunt.
and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon.
8 Plurima autem turba straverunt vestimenta sua in via: alii autem cædebant ramos de arboribus, et sternebant in via:
And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.
9 turbæ autem, quæ præcedebant, et quæ sequebantur, clamabant, dicentes: Hosanna filio David: benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini: hosanna in altissimis.
And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 Et cum intrasset Jerosolymam, commota est universa civitas, dicens: Quis est hic?
And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?
11 Populi autem dicebant: Hic est Jesus propheta a Nazareth Galilææ.
And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Et intravit Jesus in templum Dei, et ejiciebat omnes vendentes et ementes in templo, et mensas numulariorum, et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit:
And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;
13 et dicit eis: Scriptum est: Domus mea domus orationis vocabitur: vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronum.
and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers.
14 Et accesserunt ad eum cæci, et claudi in templo: et sanavit eos.
And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple: and he healed them.
15 Videntes autem principes sacerdotum et scribæ mirabilia quæ fecit, et pueros clamantes in templo, et dicentes: Hosanna filio David: indignati sunt,
But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with indignation,
16 et dixerunt ei: Audis quid isti dicunt? Jesus autem dixit eis: Utique. Numquam legistis: Quia ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem?
and said unto him, Hearest thou what these are saying? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 Et relictis illis, abiit foras extra civitatem in Bethaniam: ibique mansit.
And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 Mane autem revertens in civitatem, esuriit.
Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he hungered.
19 Et videns fici arborem unam secus viam, venit ad eam: et nihil invenit in ea nisi folia tantum, et ait illi: Numquam ex te fructus nascatur in sempiternum. Et arefacta est continuo ficulnea. (aiōn g165)
And seeing a fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
20 Et videntes discipuli, mirati sunt, dicentes: Quomodo continuo aruit?
And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away?
21 Respondens autem Jesus, ait eis: Amen dico vobis, si habueritis fidem, et non hæsitaveritis, non solum de ficulnea facietis, sed et si monti huic dixeritis: Tolle, et jacta te in mare, fiet.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done.
22 Et omnia quæcumque petieritis in oratione credentes, accipietis.
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 Et cum venisset in templum, accesserunt ad eum docentem principes sacerdotum, et seniores populi, dicentes: In qua potestate hæc facis? et quis tibi dedit hanc potestatem?
And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 Respondens Jesus dixit eis: Interrogabo vos et ego unum sermonem: quem si dixeritis mihi, et ego vobis dicam in qua potestate hæc facio.
And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Baptismus Joannis unde erat? e cælo, an ex hominibus? At illi cogitabant inter se, dicentes:
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him?
26 Si dixerimus, e cælo, dicet nobis: Quare ergo non credidistis illi? Si autem dixerimus, ex hominibus, timemus turbam: omnes enim habebant Joannem sicut prophetam.
But if we shall say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 Et respondentes Jesu, dixerunt: Nescimus. Ait illis et ipse: Nec ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc facio.
And they answered Jesus, and said, We know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 Quid autem vobis videtur? Homo quidam habebat duos filios, et accedens ad primum, dixit: Fili, vade hodie, operare in vinea mea.
But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work today in the vineyard.
29 Ille autem respondens, ait: Nolo. Postea autem, pœnitentia motus, abiit.
And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went.
30 Accedens autem ad alterum, dixit similiter. At ille respondens, ait: Eo, domine, et non ivit:
And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
31 quis ex duobus fecit voluntatem patris? Dicunt ei: Primus. Dicit illis Jesus: Amen dico vobis, quia publicani et meretrices præcedent vos in regnum Dei.
Whether of the twain did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Venit enim ad vos Joannes in via justitiæ, et non credidistis ei: publicani autem et meretrices crediderunt ei: vos autem videntes nec pœnitentiam habuistis postea, ut crederetis ei.
For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him.
33 Aliam parabolam audite: Homo erat paterfamilias, qui plantavit vineam, et sepem circumdedit ei, et fodit in ea torcular, et ædificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est.
Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, which planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.
34 Cum autem tempus fructuum appropinquasset, misit servos suos ad agricolas, ut acciperent fructus ejus.
And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits.
35 Et agricolæ, apprehensis servis ejus, alium ceciderunt, alium occiderunt, alium vero lapidaverunt.
And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Iterum misit alios servos plures prioribus, et fecerunt illis similiter.
Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them in like manner.
37 Novissime autem misit ad eos filium suum, dicens: Verebuntur filium meum.
But afterward he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 Agricolæ autem videntes filium dixerunt intra se: Hic est hæres, venite, occidamus eum, et habebimus hæreditatem ejus.
But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance.
39 Et apprehensum eum ejecerunt extra vineam, et occiderunt.
And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Cum ergo venerit dominus vineæ, quid faciet agricolis illis?
When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 Aiunt illi: Malos male perdet: et vineam suam locabit aliis agricolis, qui reddant ei fructum temporibus suis.
They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Dicit illis Jesus: Numquam legistis in Scripturis: [Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli: a Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris?]
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner: This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes?
43 Ideo dico vobis, quia auferetur a vobis regnum Dei, et dabitur genti facienti fructus ejus.
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 Et qui ceciderit super lapidem istum, confringetur: super quem vero ceciderit, conteret eum.
And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
45 Et cum audissent principes sacerdotum et pharisæi parabolas ejus, cognoverunt quod de ipsis diceret.
And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
46 Et quærentes eum tenere, timuerunt turbas: quoniam sicut prophetam eum habebant.
And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet.
