Mateo 21
1 Eta Ierusaleme aldera ciradenean, eta ethor citecenean Bethphagera, Oliuatzetaco mendi aldera, orduan Iesusec igor citzan bi discipulu,
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 Erraiten cerauela, Çoazte çuen aurkaco burgura, eta bertan eridenen duçue asto emebat estecatua, eta vmebat harequin: lachaturic ekar ietzadaçue.
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 Eta baldin nehorc deus badarraçue, erraçue ecen Iaunac behar dituela: ecen bertan igorriren ditu hec.
If anyone asks you what you're doing, just tell them, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and they will send them right away.”
4 Bada haur gucia eguin içan da Prophetáz erran cena compli ledinçát, cioela,
This was to fulfill what the prophet said:
5 Erroçue Siongo alabari, Huná, eure reguea ethorten çain mansoric, eta asto emearen, eta vztarricoaren vme arraren gainean iarria.
“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 Discipuluac bada ioan citecen, eta eguin ceçaten Iesusec ordenatu cerauèn beçala.
The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed.
7 Eta ekar citzaten astoa eta vmea, eta eçar citzaten hayén gainean bere abillamenduac, eta iar eraci ceçaten hayén gainean.
They brought back the donkey and the colt. They placed their cloaks on them, and he sat on them.
8 Eta gendetze handic heda citzaten bere abillamenduac bidean, eta bercéc adarrac piccatzen cituzten arboretaric, eta bidean hedatzen.
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 Eta aitzinean ioaiten eta iarreiquiten cen populua oihuz cegoen, cioela, Hosanna Dauid-en semeá: benedicatu dela Iaunaren icenean ethorten dena, Hosanna leku gorenetan aicená.
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 Eta sarthu cenean hura Ierusalemen, ciuitate gucia moui cedin, cioela, Nor da haur?
When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, the whole city was in an uproar. “Who is this?” they were asking.
11 Eta populuac erraiten çuen, Haur da Iesus Prophetá Galilean den Nazareteco.
“This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee,” the crowds replied.
12 Eta sar cedin Iesus Iaincoaren templean, eta egotz citzan campora templean saltzen eta erosten ari ciraden guciac: eta cambiadorén mahainac itzul citzan, eta vsso colombác saltzen cituztenen cadirác.
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 Eta dioste, Scribatua da, Ene etchea, orationetaco etche deithuren da: baina çuec hura gaichtaguin lece eguin duçue.
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 Orduan ethor citecen harengana itsuac eta mainguäc templean: eta senda citzan hec.
The blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and he healed them.
15 Baina ikussiric Sacrificadore principaléc eta Scribéc harc eguin cituen miraculuac, eta haourraco oihuz ceudela templean, eta erraiten çutela, Hosanna Dauid-en semeá: gaitzi cequién.
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 Eta erran cieçoten, Badançuc hauc cer dioitén? Eta Iesusec erran ciecén, Bay: eztuçue egundano iracurri, Haourrén eta edosquiten dutenén ahotic complitu vkan duc laudorioa.
“Yes,” Jesus replied. “Haven't you ever read the Scripture that says, ‘You arranged for children and infants to give you perfect praise’?”
17 Eta hec vtziric, ilki cedin hiritic campora Bethaniarat: eta ostatu har ceçan han.
Jesus left them and went out of the city to stay at Bethany.
18 Eta goicean hirirát itzultzen cela, gosse cedin.
The next morning as he walked back into the city, he was hungry.
19 Eta ikussiric ficotzebat bidearen gainean, ethor cedin hartara, eta etzeçan deus hartan eriden hostoric baicen: eta diotsa, Guehiago fructuric hireganic sor eztadila seculan. Eta eyhar cedin bertan ficotzea. (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 Eta hori ikussiric discipuluéc mirets ceçaten, cioitela, Nolatan bertan eyhartu içan da ficotzea?
The disciples were amazed to see this. “How did the fig tree wither so suddenly?” they asked.
21 Eta ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ciecén, Eguiaz erraiten drauçuet, baldin fede baduçue, eta duda ezpadeçaçue, ez solament ficotzeari eguin içan çayona eguinen duçue, baina are baldin mendi huni badarroçue, Khen adi, eta iraitz adi itsassora eguinen da.
“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 Eta cerere galde eguinen baituçue orationean sinhesten duçuela, recebituren duçue.
You will receive everything you ask for in prayer, as long as you trust in God.”
23 Eta ethorri cenean templera, Sacrificadore principalac eta populuco Ancianoac, hura iracasten ari cela, ethor citecen harengana, cioitela, Cer authoritatez gauça horiac eguiten dituc? eta norc hiri eman drauc authoritate hori?
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 Ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ciecén, Interrogaturen çaituztet nic-ere çuec gauça batez, cein badarradaçue nic-ere erranen drauçuet, cer authoritatez gauça hauc eguiten ditudan.
“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 Ioannesen Baptismoa nondic cen? cerutic ala guiçonetaric? Eta hec baciharducaten berac baithan, cioitela, Baldin erran badeçagu, Cerutic: erranen draucu, Cergatic bada hura eztucue sinhetsi?
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 Eta baldin badarragu, Guiçonetaric: beldur gara communaren: ecen guciéc daducate Ioannes Prophetatan.
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 Eta ihardesten ceraucotela Iesusi, erran ceçaten, Etzeaquiagu. Erran ciecén harc-ere, Eztrauçuet nic-ere erraiten cer authoritatez gauça hauc eguiten ditudan.
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 Baina cer irudi çaiçue, Guiçon batec cituen bi seme: eta hurbilduric lehenagana, erran ceçan, Semé habil, egun trabailla adi ene mahastian:
“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 Harc ihardesten çuela erran ceçan, Eztiat nahi: baina guero vrriquituric, ioan cedin.
The son answered, ‘I won't,’ but afterwards he was sorry for what he said and he did go.
30 Guero hurbilduric berceagana, erran cieçón halaber. Eta harc ihardesten çuela erran ceçan, Ni nihoac iauna, Eta etzedin ioan.
The man went to the second son, and told him the same thing. He replied, ‘I'll go,’ but he didn't.
31 Bi hautaric ceinec eguin çuen bere aitaren vorondatea? Diotsate, Lehenac. Dioste Iesusec, Eguiaz erraiten drauçuet ecen publicanoac eta paillardác aitzincen çaizquiçuela Iaincoaren resumara.
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 Ecen ethorri da Ioannes çuetara iustitiazco bideaz, eta eztuçue hura sinhetsi: baina publicanoéc eta paillardéc sinhetsi vkan dute: eta çuec hori ikussiric, etzarete emendatu guero, haren sinhestera.
“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 Berce comparationebat ençuçue. Cen aitafamiliabat, ceinec landa baitzeçan mahastibat, eta hura hessiz ingura baitzeçan, eta hartan hobibat eguin ceçan lacotzát, eta edifica ceçan dorrebat, eta aloca ciecén laborariey: eta camporat ioan cedin.
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 Bada fructuén sasoina hurbildu cenean, igor citzan bere cerbitzariac laborarietara, fructuén recebitzera.
At harvest time, he sent his servants to the farmers to collect the fruit that belonged to him.
35 Eta laborariéc harturic haren cerbitzariac, bata çaurt ceçaten, eta bercea hil, eta bercea lapida.
But the farmers attacked his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36 Berriz igor ceçan berce cerbitzariric lehenac baino guehiago, eta hæi halaber eguin ciecén.
So he sent more servants, but the farmers did the same things to them.
37 Azquenean igor ceçan hetara bere semea, erraiten çuela, Ondraturen dute ene semea.
So then he sent his son. ‘They will respect my son,’ he told himself.
38 Baina laborariéc ikussiric semea erran ceçaten bere artean, Haur da primua, çatozte, hil deçagun haur, eta gatchetzan hunen heretageari.
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 Eta harturic hura iraitz ceçaten mahastitic campora, eta hil ceçaten.
They grabbed him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Dathorrenean bada mahasti iabeac cer eguinen drauè laborari hæy?
When the vineyard owner returns, what will he do to those farmers?”
41 Diotsate, Gaichto hec gaizqui deseguinen: eta bere sasoinean fructuac renda dietzoyoten berce laborariri bere mahastia alocaturen.
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 Dioste Iesusec, Egundano eztuçue iracurri Scripturetan, Edificaçaléc arbuyatu duten harria cantoin buru eguin içan da: Haur Iaunaz eguin içan da, eta da gauça miragarria gure beguién aitzinean?
“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 Halacotz diotsuet ecen edequiren çaiçuela Iaincoaren resumá, eta emanen çayola, hartaco fructuac eguinen dituen populuari.
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 Eta harri haren gainera eroriren dena, çathicaturen da: eta noren gainera eroriren baita, hura du chehaturen.
Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken, but it will completely crush anyone it falls upon.”
45 Eta ençun citzatenean Sacrificadore principaléc, eta Phariseuéc haren comparationeac, eçagut ceçaten ecen heçaz minço cela.
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his illustrations, they realized he was speaking about them.
46 Eta hatzaman nahi çutelaric, populuaren beldur içan ciraden, ceren Propheta beçala hura baitzaducaten.
They wanted him arrested, but they were afraid of what the people would do because the people believed he was a prophet.
