Matthew 21
1 Bí wọ́n ti súnmọ́ Jerusalẹmu, tí wọ́n dé itòsí ìlú Betfage ní orí òkè Olifi, Jesu sì rán àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn méjì,
When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 Ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ lọ sí ìletò tó wà ni tòsí yín, ẹ̀yin yóò rí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ kan ti wọ́n so pẹ̀lú ọmọ rẹ̀ lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀. Ẹ tú wọn, kí ẹ sì mú wọn wá fún mi.
saying to them, "Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them, and bring them to me.
3 Bí ẹnikẹ́ni bá sì béèrè ìdí tí ẹ fi ń ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ẹ sá à wí pé, Olúwa fẹ́ lo wọn, òun yóò sì rán wọn lọ.”
And if anyone says anything to you, you are to say, 'Because the Lord needs them,' and he will send them at once."
4 Èyí ṣẹlẹ̀ láti mú àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ wòlíì ṣẹ pé:
This took place that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 “Ẹ sọ fún ọmọbìnrin Sioni pé, ‘Wò ó, ọba rẹ ń bọ̀ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, ní ìrẹ̀lẹ̀, ó ń gun kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àti lórí ọmọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́.’”
Say to the daughter of Zion, "Look, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey."
6 Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn náà sí lọ, wọ́n ṣe bí Jesu ti sọ fún wọn.
The disciples went, and did just as Jesus directed them,
7 Wọ́n sì mú kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ náà pẹ̀lú ọmọ rẹ̀, wọ́n tẹ́ aṣọ lé e, Jesu si jókòó lórí rẹ̀.
and brought the donkey and the colt, and placed their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
8 Ọ̀pọ̀ ìjọ ènìyàn sì tẹ́ aṣọ wọn sí ojú ọ̀nà níwájú rẹ̀, ẹlòmíràn ṣẹ́ ẹ̀ka igi wẹ́wẹ́ wọ́n sì tẹ́ wọn sí ojú ọ̀nà.
A very large crowd spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees, and spread them on the road.
9 Ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ń lọ níwájú rẹ̀ àti lẹ́yìn rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ń kígbe pé, “Hosana fún ọmọ Dafidi!” “Olùbùkún ni fún ẹni tí ó ń bọ̀ ní orúkọ Olúwa!” “Hosana ní ibi gíga jùlọ!”
The crowds who went before him, and who followed kept shouting, "Hosanna to the son of David. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest."
10 Bí Jesu sì ti ń wọ Jerusalẹmu, gbogbo ìlú mì tìtì, àwọn ènìyàn bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í bi ara wọn pé, “Ta nìyìí?”
When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, "Who is this?"
11 Ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sì dáhùn pé, “Èyí ni Jesu, wòlíì náà láti Nasareti ti Galili.”
The crowds said, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee."
12 Jesu sì wọ inú tẹmpili, Ó sì lé àwọn ti ń tà àti àwọn tí ń rà níbẹ̀ jáde. Ó yí tábìlì àwọn onípàṣípàrọ̀ owó dànù, àti tábìlì àwọn tí ó ń ta ẹyẹlé.
Jesus entered into the temple, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers' tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
13 Ó wí fún wọn pé, “A sá à ti kọ ọ́ pé, ‘Ilé àdúrà ni a ó máa pe ilé mi,’ ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ti sọ ọ́ di ibùdó àwọn ọlọ́ṣà.”
He said to them, "It is written, 'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you have made it a den of robbers."
14 A sì mú àwọn afọ́jú àti àwọn arọ wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ní tẹmpili, ó sì mú wọ́n láradá.
The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn olùkọ́ òfin rí àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu ńlá wọ̀nyí, ti wọ́n sì tún ń gbọ́ tí àwọn ọmọdé ń kígbe nínú tẹmpili pé, “Hosana fún ọmọ Dafidi,” inú bí wọn.
But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the son of David." they were indignant,
16 Wọ́n sì bí i pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ gbọ́ nǹkan tí àwọn ọmọdé wọ̀nyí ń sọ?” Jesu sí dáhùn pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, àbí ẹ̀yin kò kà á pé, “‘Láti ẹnu àwọn ọmọdé àti àwọn ọmọ ọmú, ni a ó ti máa yìn mí’?”
and said to him, "Do you hear what these are saying?" Jesus said to them, "Yes. Did you never read, 'Out of the mouth of children and infants you have prepared praise?'"
17 Ó sì fi wọ́n sílẹ̀, ó lọ sí Betani. Níbẹ̀ ni ó dúró ní òru náà.
He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 Ní òwúrọ̀ bí ó ṣe ń padà sí ìlú, ebi ń pa á.
Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
19 Ó sì ṣàkíyèsí igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ kan lẹ́bàá ojú ọ̀nà, ó sì lọ wò ó bóyá àwọn èso wà lórí rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kò sí ẹyọ kan, ewé nìkan ni ó wà lórí rẹ̀. Nígbà náà ni ó sì wí fún igi náà pé, “Kí èso má tún so lórí rẹ mọ́ láti òní lọ àti títí láé.” Lójúkan náà igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ náà sì gbẹ. (aiōn g165)
Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, "Let there be no fruit from you forever." Immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
20 Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ rí èyí, ẹnu yà wọn, wọ́n béèrè pé, “Báwo ni igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ náà ṣe gbẹ kíákíá?”
When the disciples saw it, they were amazed, saying, "How did the fig tree immediately wither away?"
21 Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, bí ẹ̀yin bá lè ní ìgbàgbọ́ láìṣiyèméjì, nígbà náà ẹ̀yin yóò lè ṣe irú ohun tí a ṣe sí igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́, ẹ̀yin yóò lè sọ fún òkè yìí pé, ‘Yí ipò padà sínú Òkun,’ yóò sì rí bẹ́ẹ̀.
Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it would be done.
22 Bí ẹ̀yin bá gbàgbọ́, ẹ̀yin lè rí ohunkóhun tí ẹ bá béèrè nínú àdúrà gbà.”
All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."
23 Jesu wọ tẹmpili, nígbà tí ó ń kọ́ni, àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn àgbàgbà Júù tọ̀ ọ́ wá. Wọ́n béèrè pé “nípa àṣẹ wo ni o fi ń ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí? Ta ni ó sì fún ọ ni àṣẹ yìí?”
When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, "By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?"
24 Jesu sì dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi yóò si bí yin léèrè ohun kan, bí ẹ̀yin bá lé sọ fún mi, nígbà náà èmi yóò sọ fún yín, àṣẹ tí Èmi fi ń ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
Jesus answered them, "I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Níbo ni ìtẹ̀bọmi Johanu ti wa? Láti ọ̀run wá ni, tàbí láti ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn.” Wọ́n sì bá ara wọn gbèrò pé, “Bí àwa bá wí pé láti ọ̀run wá ni, òun yóò wí fún wa pé, ‘Èéha ti ṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò fi gbà á gbọ́?’
The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from people?" They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
26 Ní ìdàkejì, bí àwa bá sì sọ pé, ‘Láti ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn, àwa bẹ̀rù ìjọ ènìyàn, nítorí gbogbo wọ́n ka Johanu sí wòlíì.’”
But if we say, 'From people,' we fear the crowd, for all hold John as a prophet."
27 Nítorí náà wọ́n sì dá Jesu lóhùn pé, “Àwa kò mọ̀.” Nígbà náà ni ó wí pé, “Nítorí èyí, èmi kò ní sọ àṣẹ tí èmi fi ń ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí fún yín.
They answered Jesus, and said, "We do not know." He also said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 “Kí ni ẹ rò nípa eléyìí? Ọkùnrin kan ti ó ní àwọn ọmọkùnrin méjì. Ó sọ fún èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n pé, ‘Ọmọ, lọ ṣiṣẹ́ nínú ọgbà àjàrà lónìí.’
But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'
29 “Ó sì dá baba rẹ̀ lóhùn pé, ‘Èmi kò ní í lọ,’ ṣùgbọ́n níkẹyìn ó yí ọkàn padà, ó sì lọ.
He answered, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
30 “Nígbà náà ni baba yìí tún sọ fún èyí àbúrò pé, ‘Lọ ṣiṣẹ́ ní oko.’ Ọmọ náà sì sọ pé, ‘Èmi yóò lọ, baba,’ ṣùgbọ́n kò lọ rárá.
And he came to the other, and said the same thing. And he answered and said, 'I go, sir,' but he did not go.
31 “Nínú àwọn méjèèjì yìí, èwo ni ó ṣe ìfẹ́ baba wọn?” Gbogbo wọn sì fohùn ṣọ̀kan pé, “Èyí ẹ̀gbọ́n ni.” Jesu wí fún wọn pé, “Lóòótọ́ ni mo wí fún yín, àwọn agbowó òde àti àwọn panṣágà yóò wọ ìjọba ọ̀run síwájú yín.
Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Nítorí Johanu tọ́ yin wá láti fi ọ̀nà òdodo hàn yín, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò gbà á gbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn agbowó òde àti àwọn panṣágà ronúpìwàdà, bí ó tilẹ̀ ṣe pé ẹ rí àwọn ohun tí ń ṣẹlẹ̀ wọ̀nyí, ẹ kọ̀ láti ronúpìwàdà, ẹ kò gbà á gbọ́.”
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you did not even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
33 “Ẹ gbọ́ òwe mìíràn, Baálé ilé kan tí ó gbin ọgbà àjàrà, ó ṣe ọgbà yìí ká, ó wá ibi ìfúntí sínú rẹ̀, ó kọ́ ilé ìṣọ́. Ó sì fi oko náà ṣe àgbàtọ́jú fún àwọn àgbẹ̀ kan, ó sì lọ sí ìrìnàjò.
"Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to tenant farmers, and went on a journey.
34 Nígbà ti àkókò ìkórè súnmọ́, ó rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sí àwọn àgbẹ̀ náà láti gba èyí ti ó jẹ tirẹ̀ wá.
When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to receive his fruit.
35 “Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn alágbàtọ́jú sì mú àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, wọn lu ẹni kìn-ín-ní, wọn pa èkejì, wọ́n si sọ ẹ̀kẹta ní òkúta.
The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36 Ó sì tún rán àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mìíràn àwọn tí ó ju ti ìṣáájú lọ. Wọ́n sì túnṣe bí ti àkọ́kọ́ sí àwọn wọ̀nyí pẹ̀lú.
Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.
37 Níkẹyìn, baálé ilé yìí rán ọmọ rẹ̀ pàápàá sí wọn. Ó wí pé, ‘Wọn yóò bu ọlá fún ọmọ mi.’
But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
38 “Ṣùgbọ́n bí àwọn alágbàtọ́jú wọ̀nyí ti rí ọmọ náà lókèèrè, wọ́n wí fún ara wọn pé, ‘Èyí ni àrólé náà. Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a pa á, kí a sì jogún rẹ̀.’
But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and have his inheritance.'
39 Wọ́n sì wọ́ ọ jáde kúrò nínú ọgbà àjàrà náà, wọ́n sì pa á.
So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 “Ǹjẹ́ nígbà tí olúwa ọgbà àjàrà bá dé, kí ni yóò ṣe sí àwọn olùṣọ́gbà wọ̀n-ọn-nì?”
When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?"
41 Wọ́n wí pé, “Òun yóò pa àwọn ènìyàn búburú náà run, yóò sì fi ọgbà àjàrà rẹ̀ fún àwọn alágbàtọ́jú mìíràn tí yóò fún un ní èso tirẹ̀ lásìkò ìkórè.”
They told him, "He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season."
42 Jesu wí fún wọ́n pé, “Àbí ẹ̀yin kò kà á nínú Ìwé Mímọ́ pé: “‘Òkúta tí àwọn ọ̀mọ̀lé kọ̀sílẹ̀, ni ó di pàtàkì igun ilé; iṣẹ́ Olúwa ni èyí, ó sì jẹ́ ìyanu ní ojú wa’?
Jesus said to them, "Did you 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. It is marvelous in our eyes?'
43 “Nítorí náà èmi wí fún yín, a ó gba ìjọba Ọlọ́run lọ́wọ́ yín, a ó sì fi fún àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí yóò máa mú èso rẹ̀ wá.
"Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation bringing forth its fruit.
44 Ẹni tí ó bá ṣubú lu òkúta yìí yóò di fífọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí òun bá ṣubú lù yóò lọ̀ ọ́ lúúlúú.”
He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it will fall, it will crush him."
45 Nígbà tí àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn Farisi gbọ́ òwe Jesu, wọ́n mọ̀ wí pé ó ń sọ̀rọ̀ nípa àwọn.
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
46 Wọn wá ọ̀nà láti mú un, ṣùgbọ́n wọn bẹ̀rù ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn tí wọ́n gba Jesu gẹ́gẹ́ bí wòlíì.
When they sought to seize him, they feared the crowds, because they considered him to be a prophet.
