Matio 21
1 Ie nañarine Ierosaleme, naho nandoake e Beit-Pagè, Ambohi-Oliva eo, le nirahe’ Iesoà ty roe amo mpiama’eo,
Jesus and his disciples went to Jerusalem. As they were getting close, they came to the village of Bethphage on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two disciples on ahead,
2 ami’ty hoe: Akia mb’amo mikijoly ey hoek’ ey, le ho oni’ areo amy zao ty borìke mirohy rekets’ ana’e, hahao, vaho tantalio mb’amako mb’etoa.
telling them, “Go into the village. Right there you'll find a donkey tied up with a colt. Untie them and bring them to me.
3 Ie isaontsia’ t’indaty ndra inoñ’ inoñe, le irehafo te ipaia’ i Talè, vaho havotso’e homb’eo amy zao.
If anyone asks you what you're doing, just tell them, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and they will send them right away.”
4 I he’e zay, hañenefañe i nampisaontsieñe i mpitokiy ty hoe:
This was to fulfill what the prophet said:
5 Taroño ty anak’ ampela’ i Tsione: Inge mb’ama’o mb’eo ty Mpanjaka’o, vantañe naho lahifihaty, mireke, miningitse tamanam-borìke, ami’ty kondam-borìke, ana’ ty borìke-vave,
“Tell the daughter of Zion, ‘Look, your King is coming to you. He is humble, and rides a donkey, and a colt, the offspring of a donkey.’”
6 Aa le nimb’eo iereo, nanao i nitoroa’ Iesoày,
The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed.
7 Nente’ iereo i borìke rekets’ ana’ey, le nandafiha’ ty ila’e ty akanjo naho saro’iareo naho niningitse ama’e t’i Iesoà, vaho nionjoñe mb’eo
They brought back the donkey and the colt. They placed their cloaks on them, and he sat on them.
8 Nandamike o saravi’eo an-dalañe eo ty ila’ i màroy, le nibira singan-katae ty ila’e ze nahifike eo ka. O aolo’eo naho o am-boho’e eo
Many people in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and laid them on the road.
9 songa nikaike ty hoe: Hosana, ry Mpañaha ty voatse toy; Andriañeñe ty mitotsake ami’ty tahina‘Iehovà; Hosana, Mpandromba’ay; Honjonen-drehe andindìñe añe naho an-tane atoy!
The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed were all shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
10 Ie nizilike e Ierosaleme ao t’i Iesoà le nangetseketseke iaby i rovay, nanao ty hoe: Ia v’izao?
When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, the whole city was in an uproar. “Who is this?” they were asking.
11 Le nifanao ty hoe ondatio: Iesoà, Mpitoky, nte-Nazareta’ i Galiliay.
“This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee,” the crowds replied.
12 Nizilike añ’Anjomban’ Añahare ao t’i Iesoà le nitendreke mpanao balike, le navalitaboa’e o tihim-panakalo volao, naho ty fitoboha’ o mpandetake dehoo,
Jesus went into the Temple, and threw out all the people buying and selling. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the chairs of the dove-sellers.
13 vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Hoe ty pinatetse: Hatao anjombam-pitalahoa’ ze hene fifeheañe ty Akibako, te mone lakatom-piaroteñe ty nanoa’ areo aze.
He told them, “Scripture says, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you've turned it into a den of thieves.”
14 Le nimb’ama’e añ’Anjomba ao o feio naho o kepekeo vaho jinanga’e.
The blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and he healed them.
15 Niheo mb’eo o mpisorom-beio naho o Androanavio hisamba o raha fanjàka nanoe’eo, ie nikoikoike añ’anjomba ao o ajajao nanao ty hoe: Rengeñe t’i Anan’ Añahare. F’ie ninjea’ o Androanavio,
But when the chief priests and religious teachers saw the wonderful miracles he did, and the children shouting in the Temple, “Hosanna to the son of David,” they were offended. “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.
16 ami’ty hoe: Tsy janji’o hao ty volàñe’ o retiañe? Tinoi’e ty hoe: Eka mahatsanon-draho! Tsy vinaki’ areo hao ty hoe, Hirik’am-bavan’ ajaja naho ajajamena ty nañoreña’o haozarañe?
“Yes,” Jesus replied. “Haven't you ever read the Scripture that says, ‘You arranged for children and infants to give you perfect praise’?”
17 Nienga re, niavotse mb’e Betania mb’eo naho nialeñe ao, vaho nampalangese’e am’iereo i Fifehean-Dikerañey.
Jesus left them and went out of the city to stay at Bethany.
18 Ie maraindraiñe, nibalike mb’an-drova mb’eo, nisaliko;
The next morning as he walked back into the city, he was hungry.
19 Niisa’e ty sakoañe añ’olon-dalañe ey le nitotofa’e, fe tsy nanjò ama’e naho tsy raveñe avao, vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Le lia’e tsy hiboaham-boa ka. Tsipaepae izay, niforejeje i sakoañey. (aiōn g165)
He saw a fig tree at the side of the road, so he went over to it but didn't find any fruit, only leaves. He told the fig tree, “May you never ever produce fruit again!” Immediately the fig tree withered. (aiōn g165)
20 Vereñe o mpiama’eo te nahaoniñe izay le nanao ty hoe: Inoñe ty nampangèñe i sakoañey anianik’ avao?
The disciples were amazed to see this. “How did the fig tree wither so suddenly?” they asked.
21 Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Ie ama-patokisañe, tsy mifejofejo, le tsy vaho o sakoañeo ty hanoe’o zao, fa naho lilie’ areo o vohitse eroio ty hoe: Miavota, mivaridìña andriak’ añe, le hanoe’e.
“I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “If you really trust in God, and don't doubt him, you could not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even more. If you said to this mountain, ‘Get up and throw yourself into the sea,’ it would happen!
22 Ndra inoñ’inoñe ihalalia’ areo te milolok’ am-patokisañe, le ho azo’ areo.
You will receive everything you ask for in prayer, as long as you trust in God.”
23 Nizilike añ’anjomban’ Añahare ao re hañoke le nimb’ama’e mb’eo o roandriañeo naho o mpisorom-beio naho o mpifehe’ ondatioo nanao ty hoe: Ami’ty lili’ia ty anoa’o zao? Ia ty nanolots’Azo o haozarañe zao?
Jesus went into the Temple. The chief priests and the ruling elders of the people came to him while he was teaching and asked, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority?”
24 Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Ontane raike ka ty hañontaneako anahareo, toiño i ahikoy, le hitaroñako ty lily anoeko zao.
“I too will ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “If you give me the answer, I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Ty filipora’ i Jaona, boak’aia? hirik’ andindìñe ao hao ke boak’ am’ondatio? Niñeoñeoñe ty hoe iereo, Ino ty hanoen-tika? naho manao ty hoe tika: Hirik’ andindiñe ao, le hivolaña’e ty hoe: Aa vaho akore t’ie tsy niantofa’ areo?
Where did the baptism of John come from? Was it from heaven, or was it from human beings?” They argued with each other. “If we say ‘it was from heaven,’ then he'll ask us why we didn't believe him.
26 ke manao ty hoe tika: Boak’ama’ ondaty, ie ihembañan-tika fa songa miantoke te mpitoky t’i Jaona?
But if we say, ‘it was from human beings,’ then the crowd will turn against us, because they all consider John to be a prophet.”
27 Aa le hoe iereo, Tsy fohi’ay. Le hoe re: Izaho ka tsy hanoro anahareo ty lily itoroñako irezay.
So they answered Jesus, “We don't know.” “Then I won't tell you by what authority I'm doing these things,” Jesus replied.
28 Aa akore ty heve’ areo? Teo t’indaty aman’ ana-dahy roe: nimb’ ami’ty raike re nanao ty hoe: Akia anake, mañalahalà an-tetem-baheko ao te anito.
“But what do you think about this illustration? Once there was a man who had two sons. He went to the first son, and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’
29 Hoe ty natoi’e, Aiy! tsy satriko izay. F’ie añe naneñeñe le nimb’eo.
The son answered, ‘I won't,’ but afterwards he was sorry for what he said and he did go.
30 Nimb’ami’ty raike ka re, nanao i hoe zay. Nanoiñe ty hoe re: Intoy iraho, Aba. F’ie tsy nimbeo.
The man went to the second son, and told him the same thing. He replied, ‘I'll go,’ but he didn't.
31 Aa, ia amy roe rey ty nanao ty satrin’ arofon-drae’e? Hoe iereo tama’e: I valoha’ey. Le hoe t’i Iesoà: Eka! to t’itaroñako te hiaolo anahareo mb’am-pifehean-dikerañe ao o piaroteñe naho tsimirirañeo,
Which of the two sons did what his father wanted?” “The first,” they answered. “I tell you the truth: tax-collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you,” Jesus told them.
32 amy te niheo mb’ama’ areo an-dalam-bantañe t’i Jaona, fe tsy niantofa’ areo. Natoky aze ka o piaroteñeo naho o karapiloo; ie niisa’areo izay, le mbe tsy nitolike an-tsoloho avao hiantok’ aze.
“John came to show you the way to live right with God, and you didn't believe him, but the tax-collectors and prostitutes did believe him. Later, when you saw what happened, you still didn't repent and believe him.
33 Inao ty razan-drehake ty ami’ty mpambole: Teo t’indaty aman-kasy nañalahala tetembahe, nañarokatoha’e fefe, nañoreña’e fitalakesañ’ abo, naho nihalia’e fipiritan-divay, le nafanto’e amo mpitoroñeo vaho nienga mb’eo.
Here's another illustration. There once was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard. He put a fence around it, made a winepress, and built a watchtower. He rented it to some tenant farmers, and then left to go to a different country.
34 Ie tsatoke ty sam-panontonan-tsabo, le nahitri’e mb’amo mpiavao mb’eo o mpitoro’eo hangalake i vara’ey.
At harvest time, he sent his servants to the farmers to collect the fruit that belonged to him.
35 Fe tsinepa’ o mpamboleo o mpitoro’eo, trinabotrabo’ iereo ty valoha’e, vinono ty faharoe, vaho finetsam-bato ty fahatelo.
But the farmers attacked his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36 Nañirake mpitoroñe indraike re, maro te amy valoha’ey, fe hambañe amy teoy ty nanoañe iareo.
So he sent more servants, but the farmers did the same things to them.
37 Fara’e, nasangitri’e am’iereo i ana-dahi’ey ami’ty hoe: Hera hiasia’ iareo i anakoy.
So then he sent his son. ‘They will respect my son,’ he told himself.
38 Ie nitrea’ o mpiavao i ana’ey, le nikinia ty hoe: Intoy i mpandovay, antao hañè-doza ama’e, handovan-tika i taney.
But the farmers, when they saw the son, said to each other, ‘Here's the heir! Come on! Let's kill him so we can take his inheritance!’
39 Aa le rinambe’ iereo naho navokovoko’ iereo alafe’ i tetekey vaho navetrake.
They grabbed him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Aa ie pok’eo i talèn-tanem-bahey, hatao’e akore iareo?
When the vineyard owner returns, what will he do to those farmers?”
41 Le hoe iereo tama’e: Ty amo lo-tserekeo, ho zamane’e an-keloke, le hatolo’e ami’ty mpiava ila’e i tanem-bahe’ey, hitolora’ iareo an-tsa-do’e ty voka’e.
The chief priests and elders said to Jesus, “He will put to death those wicked men in the most awful way, and rent out the vineyard to other farmers who will be sure to give him his fruit at harvest time.”
42 Hoe t’i Iesoà tam’ iereo: Tsy vinaki’ areo hao i Sokitse Masiñe manao ty hoe: I vato nadò’ o mpandranjioy le fa lohan-kotsoke; boak’am’ Iehovà izay, fiain-tane am-pihaino’ay?
“So haven't you read this in the Scriptures?” Jesus asked them. “‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.’
43 Aa le itaroñako te hasintake ama’ areo i fifehean-dikerañey le hatolotse ami’ty fifeheañe mahavokatse.
That's why I'm telling you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you. It will be given to a people who produce the right kind of fruit.
44 Haretsake ambane ze mihotrake ami’ty vato toy; le ho foifoy ty ideboña’e.
Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken, but it will completely crush anyone it falls upon.”
45 Nahajanjiñe o fandrazañañeo o mpisorom-beio naho o Fariseoo, le naharendreke t’ie o tsinara’eo.
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his illustrations, they realized he was speaking about them.
46 Aa le nipay hitsepake aze iereo, fe nimarimariheñe i lahialeñey, ie nitañe aze ho mpitoky.
They wanted him arrested, but they were afraid of what the people would do because the people believed he was a prophet.
