Matthew 21
1 Adudagi Jisu amadi mahakki tung-inbasingna Jerusalem naksillaklabada, makhoina chorphon chingda leiba Bethphage khunda laklammi. Aduga Ibungona tung-inbasinggi maraktagi makhoi anibu mangjounana tharaduna,
When they had almost reached Jerusalem, having come as far as Bethphage, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent on two disciples.
2 makhoida hairak-i, “Nakhoigi mangda leiriba khun aduda chatlu, aduga nakhoina maduda hek changbaga lola mapi-macha punduna leiba nakhoina thengnagani. Makhoibu thouri thoktuna eigi nakta purak-u.
‘Go to the village facing you,’ he said, ‘and you will immediately find a donkey tethered, with a foal by her side; untie her, and lead her here for me.
3 Aduga kanagumbana nakhoina touribadu karino haina hanglaklabadi, nakhoina mangonda Ibungona masi mathou tai haina haiyu; aduga khudakta nakhoina makhoibu puba mahakna yabirakkani.”
And, if anyone says anything to you, you are to say this – “The Master wants them”; and he will send them at once.’
4 Masi pumnamaksing asi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichouna haikhiba wa adu thungnanabani.
This happened in fulfilment of these words in the prophet –
5 “Haiyu, nakhoina Zion-gi misingda, Yeng-u, nakhoigi ningthouna nakhoida lengbirakli! Ibungodi nolluk-i amasung tong-i lola amada, tong-i lola macha amagi mathakta.”
“Say to the people of Zion – ‘Your King is coming to you, gentle, and riding on a donkey, and on the foal of a beast of burden.’”
6 Adudagi tung-inba ani aduna chatkhiduna Jisuna makhoida yathang pikhibasing adu toure.
So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
7 Makhoina lola mapi-machadu Jisugi manakta puraktuna madugi mathakta makhoigi phising thare aduga Ibungona madugi mathakta tongle.
They led the donkey and the foal back, and, when they had put their cloaks on them, he seated himself on them.
8 Amasung mi mayam amana makhoigi phi tingthoktuna lambida thajarammi aduga ateisingna upal-singdagi mana panba anouba masasing kaktuna lambida thajarammi.
The immense crowd of people spread their cloaks in the road, while some cut branches off the trees, and spread them on the road.
9 Aduga Ibungogi mangda amadi tung induna chatliba miyam aduna laorak-i, “Hosanna! David-ki Machanupada! MAPU IBUNGO-gi mingda lengbirakliba Mahak yaiphabani! Hosanna haina wangthoiraba swargada laosanu!”
The crowds that led the way, as well as those that followed behind, kept shouting, ‘God save the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! God save him from on high!’
10 Jisuna Jerusalem changlakpada sahar apumba mathum marang houraduna makhoina hanglak-i, “Mahak asi kanano?”
When he had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred, and asked –
11 Maduda miyam aduna khumlak-i, “Mahak Galilee-gi Nazareth-tagi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa Jisuni.”
‘Who is this?’, to which the crowd replied – ‘This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.’
12 Adudagi Jisuna Mapugi Sanglenda changduna Sanglen manungda iratpotki sa yolliba amadi leiriba makhoi pumnamakpu tanthokle amasung Ibungona sel kaithok kaisin touribasinggi table amadi khunu yollibasinggi phampham mathak makha onthokle.
Jesus went into the Temple Courts, and drove out all those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers, and the seats of the pigeon-dealers,
13 Aduga Ibungona makhoida hairak-i, “Mapugi puyada masi iduna lei, ‘Eigi yumdi haijanabagi yum kougani,’ adubu nakhoina masibu huranbasinggi makon oihalle!”
and said to them, ‘Scripture says “My house will be called a house of prayer”; but you are making it a den of robbers.’
14 Aduga mamit tangbasing amadi makhong tekpasingna Jisugi nakta Mapugi Sanglenda lakcharammi amasung Ibungona makhoibu phahanbirammi.
While he was still in the Temple Courts, some blind and some lame people came up to him, and he cured them.
15 Adubu athoiba purohitsing amasung Wayel Yathanggi ojasingna Ibungona toukhiba angakpa thabaksing adu ubada amasung Mapugi Sanglenda “Hosanna, David-ki Machanupa” haina angangsingna laobadu tabada saoraduna,
But, when the chief priests and the teachers of the Law saw the wonderful things that Jesus did, and the boys who were calling out in the Temple Courts ‘God save the Son of David!’, they were indignant,
16 Ibungoda hairak-i, “Angangsingna hairiba asi nahak tadabra?” Maduda Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Hoi, ei tai. Nakhoina, ‘Angangsing amadi khomlang chinglibasinggi chindagi nahakpu thagatnanaba nahakna makhoibu mapung phahanbire haiba Tengban Mapugi wa adu padabra?’”
and said to him, ‘Do you hear what these boys are saying?’ ‘Yes,’ answered Jesus, ‘but did you never read the words – “Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings you have called forth perfect praise”?’
17 Adudagi Jisuna makhoibu thadoktuna sahar adudagi Bethany khunda chatlammi. Aduga mahakna mapham aduda ahing leklammi.
Then he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.
18 Mathang numitki ayuk anganbada, Jisuna Jerusalem saharda halakpagi lambida chak lamlaklammi.
The next morning, in returning to the city, Jesus became hungry;
19 Aduga Ibungona lambi mapanda heiyit pambi ama houba ubada pambidugi manakta changlammi adubu manakhak nattana mahei amata panba thengnaramde. Maduda Ibungona heiyit pambi aduda hairak-i, “Matam pumnamakta nahak mahei pandaba oirasanu!” Aduga khudak aduda heiyit pambi adu kangsillaklammi. (aiōn g165)
and, noticing a solitary fig tree by the roadside, he went up to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. So he said to it, ‘Never again will fruit be gathered off you.’ And suddenly the fruit tree withered up. (aiōn g165)
20 Madu ubada Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna ingak ngakladuna hairak-i, “Karamna heiyit pambi asina asuk thuna khangsillaklibano?”
When the disciples saw this, they exclaimed in astonishment, ‘How suddenly the fig tree withered up!’
21 Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, karigumba nakhoida thajaba leiraba aduga chingnadrabadi, heiyit pambi asida toukhiba asigumna nakhoina touba ngamba khakta nattaduna nakhoina chingjao asidasu ‘Nasa nathanta phuktuna pat asida langthajou,’ haibada madu oigani.
‘I tell you,’ replied Jesus, ‘if you have faith, without ever a doubt, you will do what not only what has been done to the fig tree, but, even if you should say to this hill “Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!” it would be done.
22 Nakhoida thajaba leirabadi nakhoina haija-nijaba matamda nijaba khudingmak nakhoina phangjagani.”
And whatever you ask for in your prayers will, if you have faith, be granted you.’
23 Adudagi Jisuna Mapugi Sanglenda changduna tambiringeida athoiba purohitsing amasung ahal-lamansingna Ibungogi nakta laktuna hairak-i, “Nahakki karamba matik leiduna asigumba thabaksing asi touribano? Aduga kanana matik asi nangonda pibage?”
After Jesus had come into the Temple Courts, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, ‘What authority have you to do these things? Who gave you this authority?’
24 Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Eisu nakhoida wahang ama hangge, nakhoina madugi paokhum eingonda piragadi eigi karamba itik leiduna asigumba thabaksing asi touribano haibadu eina nakhoida haige.
‘I, too,’ said Jesus in reply, ‘will ask you one question; if you will give me an answer to it, then I, also, will tell you what authority I have to act as I do.
25 John-da leiriba baptize tounabagi matik adu swargadagira nattraga misingdagira?” Makhoina kari khumgadage haibadu makhoi masen khannarammi. “Eikhoina swargadagini haina khumlagadi, mahakna haigani, ‘Adu oirabadi nakhoina John-bu karigi thajadribano?’
It is about John’s baptism. What was its origin? Divine or human?’ But they began arguing among themselves, ‘If we say “divine,” he will say to us “Why then didn’t you believe him?”
26 Aduga amaromda eikhoina madu ‘Misingdagini hairagasu,’ eikhoina misingbu ki maramdi mi pumnamakna John-bu Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou amani haina lou-i.”
But if we say “human,” we are afraid of the people, for everyone regards John as a prophet.’
27 Maram aduna makhoina Jisuda khumlak-i, “Eikhoi khangde.” Maduda Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Adu oirabadi, eigi karamba itik leiduna asigumba thabaksing asi touribano haibadu einasu nakhoida hairaroi.”
So the answer they gave Jesus was – ‘We do not know.’ ‘Then I,’ he said, ‘refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.
28 “Adubu masigi maramda nakhoina kari khanbage? Nupa amagi machanupa ani leirammi. Aduga mahakna machanupa ahan-gi nakta laktuna hairammi, ‘Ichanupa, ngasidi eigi anggur ingkholda chattuna thabak suru.’
What do you think of this? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the elder and said “Go and work in the vineyard today my son.”
29 Maduda machanupa aduna khumlak-i, ‘Ei chatloi,’ adubu mameithangdadi mahak pukning honglaktuna chatkhirammi.
“Yes, sir,” he answered; but he did not go.
30 Adudagi mapa aduna anisuba machanupa adugi nakta laklaga matou adugumduna mangondasu haire. Maduda machanupa aduna khumlak-i, ‘Hoi chatchage, paba,’ adubu mahakna chatkhide.
Then the father went to the second son, and said the same. “I will not,” he answered; but afterwards he was sorry and went.
31 Makhoi ani asigi maraktagi karambana mapagi aningba adu toukhibage?” Makhoina khumlak-i, “Machanupa ahal aduna toukhi.” Adudagi Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Eina nakhoida hairibasini, kanggat khombasing amasung oktabisingna nakhoidagi hanna Tengban Mapugi leibakta changani.
Which of the two sons did as his father wished?’ ‘The second,’ they said. ‘I tell you,’ added Jesus, ‘that tax collectors and prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Maramdi baptize touba John-na achumba lambi adubu nakhoida utpiba lakkhi, adubu nakhoina mahakpu thajakhide; adubu kanggat khombasing amasung oktabisingnadi mahakpu thajakhi. Aduga nakhoina masi uraba matungda phaoba nakhoina pukning hongduna mahakpu thajade.”
For when John came to you, walking in the path of righteousness, you did not believe him, but tax collectors and prostitutes did; and yet you, though you saw this, even then were not sorry, nor did you believe him.
33 Adudagi Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Atoppa pandam amasu tao,” “Kanagumba anggur ingkhol koiba ingkhol mapu ama leirammi. Mahakna ingkholdugi akoibada sambal khare, aduga anggur mahi sumpham ama toure, amasung ingkhol ngaknaba awangba loutangsang amasu sare. Madudagi mahakna anggur ingkhol adu ingkhol pannabasingda sandoklamlaga atoppa lam amada chatkhre.
‘Listen to another parable. A man, who was an employer, once planted a vineyard, put a fence round it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, and then let it out to tenants and went abroad.
34 Amasung mahei lokpagi matam laklabada mahakna mahakki manaisingbu ingkhol koibasing adudagi mahakki phangpham thokpa saruk lourunaba thare.
When the time for the grape harvest drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to receive his share of the produce.
35 Adubu ingkhol koibasing aduna mahakki manaising adubu phaduna, amabuna phubire, atoppa amana hatle, aduga atoppa amabuna nungna thare.
But the tenants seized his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
36 Adudagi mahakna ahanba adudagi henna yamba atoppa manaising amuk thare. Adubu makhoising adubusu makhoina hannagi adugumna chap manana toukhi.
A second time the owner sent some servants, a larger number than before, and the tenants treated them in the same way.
37 Ikon-konbada ingkhol mapu aduna mahakki machanupabudi ikai khumnabigani khalladuna mahakna machanupabu thare.
As a last resource he sent his son to them. “They will respect my son,” he said.
38 Adubu ingkhol koibasing aduna machanupa adubu ubada makhoi masen-gi marakta asumna hainarammi, ‘Mahak asi yumlep charani, lak-o, eikhoina mahakpu hatlasi, aduga eikhoina mahakki lanthum asi lourasi.’
But the tenants, on seeing his son, said to each other “Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.”
39 Aduga makhoina mahakpu pharaga anggur ingkholgi mapanda chingthoktuna hatle.
So they seized him, and threw him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
40 “Houjik, anggur ingkholgi mapu aduna lakpa matamda, makhoising adugi mathakta mahakna kari tougani haina nakhoina khanbage?”
Now, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?’
41 Maduda makhoina khumlak-i, “Mahakna phattaba makhoising adubu tamthina hatkani aduga anggur ingkhol adubu lourok matam khudinggi mahakki saruk adu pirakkadaba ingkhol koibasingda pithokkani.”
‘Miserable wretches!’ they exclaimed, ‘he will put them to a miserable death, and he will let out the vineyard to other tenants, who will pay him his share of the produce at the proper times.’
42 Adudagi Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Nakhoina Mapugi puyada masi pakhidabra? ‘Yumsabasingna kanadre haiduna hundoklaba nung adu, Oirakle khwaidagi maruoiba chithekki nung. MAPU IBUNGO-na masi toubire, Eikhoigi mityengda masi kayada angakpano!’
Then Jesus added, ‘Have you never read in the scriptures? – “The stone which the builders despised – has now itself become the cornerstone. This cornerstone has come from the Lord, and is marvellous in our eyes.”
43 “Maram aduna eina nakhoida hairi, Tengban Mapugi leibak adu nakhoidagi louthokkani aduga mahei ningthina puthokkadaba phurup amada madu pigani.
That, I tell you, is why the kingdom of God will be taken from you, and given to a nation that does produce the fruit of the kingdom.
44 Aduga nung asigi mathakta tuba mahak adu machet machet tana kaigani aduga nung asina mathakta taba mahakpu uphulgumna toigani.”
Yes, and he who falls on this stone will be dashed to pieces, while anyone on whom it falls – it will scatter him as dust.’
45 Athoiba purohitsing amadi Pharisee-sing aduna Ibungogi pandamsing adu tabada, Ibungona makhoigi maramda nganglibani haiba khanglammi.
After listening to these parables, the chief priests and the Pharisees saw that it was about them that he was speaking;
46 Maram aduna makhoina Ibungobu phananaba lambi ama thirammi. Adubu misingna Jisubu Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou amani haina louba maramna makhoina miyam adubu kirammi.
yet, although eager to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, who regarded him as a prophet.
