Mak 11
1 Mach ave, Jisasɨv mbɨkɨr sezɨrmen Jerusalem ikwɨm ivi Betfage mach Betani aiampɨraŋ ahevɨkɨrorɨmŋgɨmar. Aiampɨra undɨmaj mbanamb aparɨma Olivɨnd handɨh ñɨhɨranj. Ave Jisasɨv sezɨr undɨmaj hamb ondɨv kamar.
When they had almost reached Jerusalem, as far as Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent on two of his disciples.
2 Ave mbɨ ndɨŋ mbanave kamar. Aiampɨra kehan wawɨmbɨrarɨŋ haŋ ovar amar. Amɨ aiampɨra kehaŋ ŋgwevohe pams haŋon donki nor han wandɨramŋgɨn amar. Mbɨ ndɨn mpamŋgɨz aŋkwañɨñɨmbɨri han, eŋambɨr wɨram emŋgav ndɨn insɨŋ mɨŋgarɨwɨmŋgɨrɨm amar. Mbɨkɨr kɨrɨpa han inɨmbi donki nor kehan ŋe hɨraivar amar.
“Go to the village facing you,” he said; “and, as soon as you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has ever ridden; untie it, and bring it.
3 Avɨz wɨram emŋgav andɨŋ amarɨmɨr amar. Amɨ utɨndɨv donki nor han ŋe hɨromŋgɨn arar amarɨmɨr amar. Amɨ mbɨkɨr ya enore kavar amar. Anɨŋnsar Ohɨrav ndɨn ntɨŋ mbah, ave mbɨ ekwaŋg pams haŋon eŋgwaz aindari arar kavar amar.
And, if any one says to you ‘Why are you doing that?’, say ‘The Master wants it, and will be sure to send it back here at once.’”
4 Mach, sezɨr undɨmaj hamb omŋgɨmar. Mbɨ aiampɨraŋ ŋgwevohe wamŋgɨz donki nor hamb empasamɨŋ aŋkwañɨmar. Wɨram kɨra emŋgemŋgav donki nor mbanan mpamŋgɨz oram impikŋ ikwɨm handɨh aŋkwañɨmar. Mach, sezɨr undɨmaj hamb ndɨn kɨrɨpa han inɨmbɨmŋgɨmar.
The two disciples went, and, finding a foal tethered outside a door in the street, they untied it.
5 Avɨz wɨram kɨra ikwɨm aŋkwañɨhɨrɨmŋgɨmar hamb ndɨŋ mbanave amarɨmŋgɨmar. Amɨ undɨmaj utɨzɨŋɨn are donki nor mban inɨmbɨmŋgɨn arɨmŋgɨmar.
Some of the by-standers said to them: “What are you doing, untying the foal?”
6 Avɨz sezɨr undɨmaj hamb Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar hanaveonaŋg ndɨŋ kamŋgɨmar. Az wɨram kɨra hamb mpɨ imbɨrvam ñi sezɨr undɨmaj han kamŋgɨmar. Aria, ŋe hɨrovar arɨmŋgɨmar.
And the two disciples answered as Jesus had told them; and they allowed them to go.
7 Mach, sezɨr undɨmaj hamb donki nor han Jisasɨnd pɨŋ hɨraimŋgɨmar. Ave mbɨ yupɨr hɨrahɨr osapɨr mbɨndɨŋ han donki nor han insɨŋ ŋgamŋgɨmar. Az Jisasɨv hand insɨŋ ŋkañɨmar.
Then they brought the foal to Jesus, and, when they had laid their cloaks on it, he seated himself upon it.
8 Wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hambez mbɨndɨŋ yupɨr hɨrahɨr osapɨr han aŋkwapai ore empasamɨŋ empɨramamŋgɨmar. Emŋgemŋgav antaŋ we aiyena akokazɨŋge empasamɨŋ amamŋgɨmar.
Many of the people spread their cloaks on the road, while some strewed boughs which they had cut from the fields;
9 Ave wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb Jisasɨh uhɨmɨŋ ŋaŋgwame hɨromŋgɨmar. Mɨŋamun hanave aware kamŋgɨmar. Ŋɨñɨmbam oŋambam Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ñɨm arɨmŋgɨmar. Wɨram hamb Yakŋ Ohɨrand ensaŋ aindai han, eran Yakŋ Ohɨrav ndɨn omanenta sɨz arɨmŋgɨmar.
and those who led the way, as well as those who followed, kept shouting: “‘God save him! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
10 Arɨŋɨnd ncha Devit, mbɨkɨr kwɨ haŋ ahevakarɨndari han Yakŋ Ohɨrav omanenta sɨz arɨmŋgɨmar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav Aiampɨra Ohɨra Ñaŋ ñi han, arɨ ndɨndɨv ŋɨñɨmbam oŋambam ñɨm arɨmŋgɨmar.
Blessed is the coming Kingdom of our father David! ‘God save him from on high!’”
11 Avɨz Jisasɨv Jerusalemɨŋ ahevakare Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oram ohɨrand imbɨz unchaŋ ahevomar. Ave mbɨ werer ndamar. Kɨrɨm rapɨrɨv ŋkwuŋɨn azand mbɨ sezɨr oman ŋkiŋkiŋg undɨmaj mbɨkɨrmen Betaniŋ ekwaŋg aimŋgɨmar.
Jesus entered Jerusalem, and went into the Temple Courts; and, after looking round at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
12 Mach, uiv ŋakaz mbɨ aiampɨra Betani erere ondamŋgɨz, Jisasɨv unsandɨv mamar.
The next day, after they had left Bethany, Jesus became hungry;
13 Ave mbɨ waz ai fik hamb taŋɨpɨr kansɨnd ñɨmar. Ai kehan zɨŋɨmp ohɨra. Ave mbɨ ainor han kɨrahɨr ai kehand pɨŋ omar. Kɨrɨm ainor emŋgaŋg mɨwam, nend. Zɨŋɨmbam ñi ainor pamaŋg mɨŋgwɨm. Han ainor ŋgwɨŋgwɨnd iŋgi mah.
and, noticing a fig-tree at a distance in leaf, he went to it to see if by any chance he could find something on it; but, on coming up to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
14 Az Jisasɨv ai fik han mbanave kamar. Amɨ mɨŋ han wɨndɨv ŋgwɨmɨn avɨn wɨramb namŋgɨmɨnj, nendon mɨŋun amar. Avɨz mbɨkɨr sezɨrɨv ya mban njɨhamŋgɨmar. (aiōn g165)
So, addressing the tree, he exclaimed: “May no man ever again eat of your fruit!” And his disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
15 Mach, Jisasɨv sezɨrmen we Jerusalemɨŋ ahevɨkɨrorɨmŋgɨmar. Ahevɨkɨrorɨmŋgɨz Jisasɨv Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oram ohɨrand imbɨz unchaŋ ahevomar. Ahevohe osa anchɨ nsɨham nor ntɨŋ ŋaŋ ñɨmŋgɨmar han mach osa anchɨ hanɨhan uŋkɨ eŋgwamŋgɨmar hanez ondo ake kiaŋgwɨmar.

They came to Jerusalem. Jesus went into the Temple Courts, and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of the pigeon-dealers,
16 Ave mbɨ ndɨŋ erokare kamar. Hanɨhan utuhutuh han Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oram ohɨrand imbɨz unchaŋ hɨro hɨrai rar hɨrandamŋgɨmɨn amar.
and would not allow any one to carry anything across the Temple Courts.
17 Ave ndɨŋ ya sɨkah kamar. Yakŋ Ohɨrand anɨŋzɨŋ enta ya han mbanave mpamar oh o nend amar. Oram ihɨnd han, han Yakŋ Ohɨrand oram ahaz ororɨnd arar kandɨramŋgi arar mpamar amar. Wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ yimbɨm emŋgemŋgand hamb, mbɨ oram mbanaŋ ai yan ahaz orɨndɨramŋgi arar mpamar amar. Kɨrɨm amɨ ndɨn ramŋgɨn ui ŋkwoŋka akɨmɨndɨnd emamp ahevakari amar.
Then he began to teach. “Does not Scripture say,” he asked, “‘My House shall be called a House of Prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.’”
18 Avɨz osa anchɨ hamb Jisasɨnd ya han njɨhame ntamŋgɨmar. Az wɨram kɨra anɨŋnsar hanɨhan Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ahaz ore ŋgamamɨnd hamb wɨram kɨra ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨndɨmen han we handɨv mbɨ Jisasɨndɨv ezandɨkŋahambɨmŋgɨmar. Handɨv mbɨ ondo ake empasam Jisas mamta orɨŋgamamɨndiv kɨramŋgɨmar.
Now the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law heard this and began to look for some way of putting Jesus to death; for they were afraid of him, since all the people were greatly impressed by his teaching.
19 Mach, nanempand zuh haŋ Jisasɨv sezɨrmen Jerusalem erere omŋgɨmar.
As soon as evening fell, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city.
20 Mach ave, uiv ŋakaz mband zuhun Jisasɨv sezɨrmen empasamɨŋ aimŋgɨmar. Ai wamŋgɨz ai fik hamb mɨŋɨnd ntɨrɨnd zɨŋɨnd mɨŋam ndɨh pɨrɨravimar.
As they passed by early in the morning, they noticed that the fig-tree was withered up from the very roots.
21 Avɨz Pitav hanɨhan Jisasɨv sɨmar han njɨhame kamar. Anɨŋzɨŋ entand, wav amar. Mɨrɨh ai fik mbanamb kɨvah raz arar keman han, irɨh mɨŋam ndɨh pɨrɨri amar.
Then Peter recollected what had occurred. “Look, Rabbi,” he exclaimed, “the fig-tree which you doomed is withered up!”
22 Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Amɨ Achakɨñŋam njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr ŋe njɨhambar amar.
“Have faith in God!” replied Jesus.
23 Nzɨ andɨŋ mɨŋun kin amar. Wɨram emŋga hamb aparɨma han imbɨr mbanave kamɨr amar. Amɨ ŋaiahe pɨraŋgore utɨm yambɨŋ ŋkwuv arar kamɨr amar. Mach, wɨram hamb njɨhi undɨmaj mah ñi, hanɨhan kehandɨv njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr ŋe njɨhamɨz ya mbɨ ki kehamb ndɨndɨv imbɨr ahevakarɨndari han, mbɨ imbɨr ahevakarɨndari amar.
“I tell you that if any one should say to this hill ‘Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!’, without ever a doubt in his mind, but in the faith that what he says will be done, he would find that it would be.
24 Handɨv nzɨ andɨŋ kin amar. Amɨ hanaveaŋg hanɨhan ŋaŋɨn are njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr ŋe njɨhame Yakŋ Ohɨra ahaz orɨndɨramŋgɨn han, hanɨhan amɨ amarɨmŋgɨn kehamb andɨŋndɨv imbɨr ahevakarɨndari amar.
And therefore I say to you ‘Have faith that whatever you ask for in prayer is already granted you, and you will find that it will be.’
25 Mach, andɨŋ wɨram emŋgav enta kɨvah sɨz, mach amɨ aŋkwañɨhɨri Yakŋ Ohɨra ahaz ore mbɨkɨr enta kɨvah han inɨmbɨvar amar. Hanavɨmŋgɨn amandɨŋ Yakŋ mbɨkɨr Aiampɨra Ohɨra Ñaŋ ñi mbanamb mbɨ amandɨŋ enta kɨvah hanez usɨndari amar.
‘And, whenever you stand up to pray, forgive any grievance that you have against any one, that your Father who is in Heaven also may forgive you your offences.”
27 Mach, Jisasɨv sezɨrmen Jerusalemɨŋ ekwaŋg aimŋgɨmar. Ave Jisasɨv Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oram ohɨrand imbɨz unchaŋ ŋgwevohe ndazand, wɨram kɨra anɨŋnsar hanɨhan Yakŋ Ohɨrandɨv ahaz ore ŋgamamɨnd, wɨram kɨra ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd, mach wɨram untɨm ohɨra kɨra Judand hamb ndɨn pɨŋ aimŋgɨmar.
They came to Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking about in the Temple Courts, the Chief Priests, the Teachers of the Law, and the Councillors came up to him.
28 Mbɨ ai ndɨn mbanave amarɨmŋgɨmar. Amɨ ensa ohɨra han nzɨhandɨh ŋe ntɨŋ mban ŋan arɨmŋgɨmar. Ave nan ensa ohɨra han uñɨmb eŋgwe nan kaz ntɨŋ mban ŋan arɨmŋgɨmar.
“What authority have you to do these things?” they said. “Who gave you the authority to do them?”
29 Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ mbanave kamar. Mach, nzez andɨŋ hanɨhan emŋgandɨv amarɨndarin amar. Amɨ ihɨnd amarar han omanenton kamŋgɨn, uñɨmb yan ensa ohɨrand ntɨŋ mban ŋaŋɨndɨv eŋgwar han nzɨ andɨŋ imbɨr kaŋ wandɨramŋgɨn amar.
“I will put one question to you,” said Jesus. “Answer me that, and then I will tell you what authority I have to act as I do.
30 Eŋambɨr Jonɨmb osa anchɨ han yambɨŋ ŋazɨkŋirɨŋgwi ŋambiahanj amar. Han Yakŋ Ohɨrav ndɨn kaz ranj arar njɨhamŋgɨn oh o wɨram hamb ndɨn kamŋgɨz ranj arar njɨhamŋgɨn amar.
It is about John’s baptism. Was it of divine or human origin? Answer me that.”
31 Mach, mbɨ mbon mbon mbanave kamŋgɨmar. Arɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrav ndɨn kaz ranj arar kamɨrɨŋaŋg kɨrɨm mbɨ kandari arɨmŋgɨmar. Utɨndɨv amɨ ndɨnɨh eŋambɨrun njɨhi aŋkarɨpɨr njɨhamɨmah ramŋgan arar kandari toh arɨmŋgɨmar.
They began arguing together; “If we say ‘divine,’ he will say ‘Why then did not you believe him?’
32 Kɨrɨm arɨ kamɨrɨŋ wɨram hamb ndɨn kamŋgɨz ranj arar kamɨrɨŋ arɨmŋgɨmar. Mbɨ wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋndɨv ezandɨkŋahambɨmŋgɨmar. Wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb Jon ndɨnɨh wɨram Yakŋ Ohɨrand ya injambɨr ahe kanj arar njɨhamŋgɨmar.
Yet can we say ‘human’?” — They were afraid of the people, for everyone regarded John as undoubtedly a Prophet.
33 Handɨv Jisasɨnd ya han mbɨŋ ke kamŋgɨmar. Arɨ mɨwarɨm arɨmŋgɨmar. Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Nzez nzɨ andɨŋ mɨkandɨram ensa ohɨra han nzɨhandɨh ŋe ntɨŋ mban ŋin han amar.
So their answer to Jesus was — “We do not know.” “Then I,” replied Jesus, “refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.”
