Mateo 21
1 Eta Ierusaleme aldera ciradenean, eta ethor citecenean Bethphagera, Oliuatzetaco mendi aldera, orduan Iesusec igor citzan bi discipulu,
As [we] approached Jerusalem, we came near Bethphage [village], near Olive [Tree] Hill. Jesus said to two [of his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead of us. As soon as you enter [it], you will see a donkey and her foal that are {someone has} tied [up]. Untie them and bring them [here] to me.
2 Erraiten cerauela, Çoazte çuen aurkaco burgura, eta bertan eridenen duçue asto emebat estecatua, eta vmebat harequin: lachaturic ekar ietzadaçue.
3 Eta baldin nehorc deus badarraçue, erraçue ecen Iaunac behar dituela: ecen bertan igorriren ditu hec.
If anyone says anything to you [about your doing that], tell [him], ‘The Lord needs them.’ He will [then allow you to] lead them away.”
4 Bada haur gucia eguin içan da Prophetáz erran cena compli ledinçát, cioela,
When all this happened, what was written by a prophet {what a prophet wrote about} was fulfilled {happened}. The prophet wrote, “Tell the people who live in Jerusalem [SYN], ‘Look! Your king is coming to you! He will come humbly. He [will show that he is humble, because he will be] riding on a colt, the offspring of a donkey.’”
5 Erroçue Siongo alabari, Huná, eure reguea ethorten çain mansoric, eta asto emearen, eta vztarricoaren vme arraren gainean iarria.
6 Discipuluac bada ioan citecen, eta eguin ceçaten Iesusec ordenatu cerauèn beçala.
So the [two] disciples went and did what Jesus told them to do.
7 Eta ekar citzaten astoa eta vmea, eta eçar citzaten hayén gainean bere abillamenduac, eta iar eraci ceçaten hayén gainean.
They brought the donkey and its colt [to Jesus]. They placed their cloaks on them [to make something for him to sit on]. Then Jesus [mounted the colt] and sat on the cloaks.
8 Eta gendetze handic heda citzaten bere abillamenduac bidean, eta bercéc adarrac piccatzen cituzten arboretaric, eta bidean hedatzen.
Then a large crowd spread [some of] their clothing on the road, and other [people] cut off branches from [palm] trees and spread them on the road. [They did those things to decorate the road in order to honor Jesus].
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 walked in front of him and those who walked behind him were shouting things like, “Praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” “May the Lord [God] bless [this one] who comes as [God’s] representative and with [God’s] authority [MTY].” “Praise God, who is in the highest [heaven]!”
10 Eta sarthu cenean hura Ierusalemen, ciuitate gucia moui cedin, cioela, Nor da haur?
As Jesus entered Jerusalem, a crowd of people [MTY] from all [over the city] became excited and were saying, “Why [are they honoring] this man [like that]?”
11 Eta populuac erraiten çuen, Haur da Iesus Prophetá Galilean den Nazareteco.
The crowd [that was already following him] said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee!”
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.
Then Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard] and chased out all of those who were buying and selling things there. He also overturned the tables of those who were giving [Temple tax money in exchange for Roman] coins, and he overturned the seats of those who were selling pigeons [for sacrifices].
13 Eta dioste, Scribatua da, Ene etchea, orationetaco etche deithuren da: baina çuec hura gaichtaguin lece eguin duçue.
Then he said to them, “It is {([Jeremiah/A prophet]) has} written [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called a place where [people] pray’, but you bandits have made it [MET] your hideout!”
14 Orduan ethor citecen harengana itsuac eta mainguäc templean: eta senda citzan hec.
After that, [many] blind [people] and lame [people] came to Jesus in the temple [in order that he would heal them], 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.
The high priests and the men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws saw the wonderful deeds that Jesus did. [They also saw and] heard the children shouting in the Temple, “We praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” The religious leaders were indignant [because they did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah].
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.
[They thought that Jesus should not be allowing the children to say that], so they asked him, “[How can you tolerate] this [RHQ]? Do you hear what these [children] are shouting?” Then Jesus said to them, “Yes, I [hear them, but] if you [remembered what] you have read [in the Scriptures about children praising me, you would know that God is pleased] [RHQ] [with them]. [The psalmist] wrote, [saying to God], ‘You have taught infants and other children to praise you perfectly.’”
17 Eta hec vtziric, ilki cedin hiritic campora Bethaniarat: eta ostatu har ceçan han.
Then Jesus left the city. We [disciples] went [with him] to Bethany [town], and we slept there [that night].
18 Eta goicean hirirát itzultzen cela, gosse cedin.
Early [the next morning], when we were returning to the city, [Jesus] 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 near the road. [So he went over to it to pick some figs to eat]. But when he got close, he saw that there were no [figs on the tree]. There were only leaves on it. So [to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel], he said to the fig tree, “May you never again produce figs!” As a result, the fig tree withered that night. (aiōn g165)
20 Eta hori ikussiric discipuluéc mirets ceçaten, cioitela, Nolatan bertan eyhartu içan da ficotzea?
[The next day] when we disciples saw [what had happened to the tree], we marveled, and we said [to Jesus], “(It is astonishing that the fig tree withered so quickly!/How is it that the fig tree dried up so quickly?)” [RHQ]
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.
Jesus said to us, “Think about this: If you believe [that God has power to do what you ask him to] and you do not doubt [that], you will be able to do [things like what I have] done to this fig tree. You will even be able to do [marvelous deeds like] saying to a nearby hill, ‘Uproot yourself and throw yourself into the sea’, and it will happen!
22 Eta cerere galde eguinen baituçue orationean sinhesten duçuela, recebituren duçue.
In addition [to that], whenever you ask [God for something] when you pray [to him, if you] believe [that he will give it to you], you will receive [it from him].”
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?
After that, Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard]. While he was teaching [the people], the chief priests and the elders of the Jewish Council approached him. They asked, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do what you did [here yesterday] [DOU]?”
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.
Jesus said to them, “I also will ask you a question, and if you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to 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 John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God or from people? [MTY/EUP]” The chief priests and elders debated among themselves [about what they should answer]. [They said to each other], “If we say, ‘[It was] [MTY/EUP] from God’, he will say to us, ‘Then (you should have believed his [message]!/why did you not believe [John’s message]?) [RHQ]’
26 Eta baldin badarragu, Guiçonetaric: beldur gara communaren: ecen guciéc daducate Ioannes Prophetatan.
If we say, ‘It was from people’, we are afraid that the crowd [will react violently], because all [the people] believe that John was a prophet [sent by God].”
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 do not know [where John got his authority].” Then he said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do the things I did [here yesterday].”
28 Baina cer irudi çaiçue, Guiçon batec cituen bi seme: eta hurbilduric lehenagana, erran ceçan, Semé habil, egun trabailla adi ene mahastian:
[Then Jesus said to the chief priests and elders], “Tell me [RHQ] what you think [about what I am about to tell you]. There was a man who had two sons. He went to his older son and said, ‘My son, go and work in my vineyard today!’
29 Harc ihardesten çuela erran ceçan, Eztiat nahi: baina guero vrriquituric, ioan cedin.
But the son said [to his father], ‘I do not want to [go and work in your vineyard today]!’ But later he changed his mind, and he went to the vineyard [and worked].
30 Guero hurbilduric berceagana, erran cieçón halaber. Eta harc ihardesten çuela erran ceçan, Ni nihoac iauna, Eta etzedin ioan.
Then the father approached his younger son and said what he had said to his older son. That son said, ‘Sir, I will [go and work in the vineyard today.’] But he did not go there.
31 Bi hautaric ceinec eguin çuen bere aitaren vorondatea? Diotsate, Lehenac. Dioste Iesusec, Eguiaz erraiten drauçuet ecen publicanoac eta paillardác aitzincen çaizquiçuela Iaincoaren resumara.
So which of the man’s two sons did what their father desired?” They answered, “The older son.” Jesus [explained to them what that parable meant] by saying, “Think about this: [It is more likely that other people, including] tax collectors and prostitutes, [whom you think are very sinful], will enter where God rules, than it is that you [Jewish leaders] will enter.
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.
I [say this to you] because, even though John [the Baptizer] explained to you how to live righteously, you did not believe his message. But tax collectors and prostitutes believed his [message, and they turned away from their sinful behavior]. In contrast, you, even though you saw what they did, refused to turn away from your sinful behavior, and you did not believe [John’s message].”
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.
“Listen to another parable [that I will tell you]. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He built a fence around it. He dug a hole in the ground [inside the fence]. He placed [in the hole] a stone tank to [collect the juice that would be] pressed out of the grapes. He also built a tower [inside that fence that someone would sit in to guard that vineyard]. He arranged for some men [to care for] the vineyard [and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went away to another country.
34 Bada fructuén sasoina hurbildu cenean, igor citzan bere cerbitzariac laborarietara, fructuén recebitzera.
When it was time to harvest the grapes, the landowner sent some of his servants to the men who were taking care of the vineyard to get his share of the grapes [that the vineyard had produced].
35 Eta laborariéc harturic haren cerbitzariac, bata çaurt ceçaten, eta bercea hil, eta bercea lapida.
But the renters seized the servants. They beat one of them, they killed another one, and [killed] another one of them [by throwing] stones at him.
36 Berriz igor ceçan berce cerbitzariric lehenac baino guehiago, eta hæi halaber eguin ciecén.
[So the landowner] sent more servants than [he had sent] the first [time]. The renters treated those servants the same way that [they had treated the other servants].
37 Azquenean igor ceçan hetara bere semea, erraiten çuela, Ondraturen dute ene semea.
Later, [knowing this], [the landowner] sent his son to [the renters to get his share of the grapes]. When he sent him, he said [to himself], ‘They will certainly respect my son [and give him some of the grapes].’
38 Baina laborariéc ikussiric semea erran ceçaten bere artean, Haur da primua, çatozte, hil deçagun haur, eta gatchetzan hunen heretageari.
But when the renters saw his son [arriving], they said to each other, ‘This is the man who will inherit [this vineyard]! Let’s kill him and divide the property [among ourselves].’
39 Eta harturic hura iraitz ceçaten mahastitic campora, eta hil ceçaten.
So they grabbed him, dragged him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Dathorrenean bada mahasti iabeac cer eguinen drauè laborari hæy?
[Now I ask you], when the landowner returns to his vineyard, what [do you think] he will do to those renters?”
41 Diotsate, Gaichto hec gaizqui deseguinen: eta bere sasoinean fructuac renda dietzoyoten berce laborariri bere mahastia alocaturen.
[The chief priests and elders] replied, “He will thoroughly destroy those wicked [renters]! Then he will rent the vineyard to others. They will give him [his share of] the grapes when they are ripe.”
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?
Jesus said to them, “[That is right, so you need to think carefully about these words which] you have read [RHQ] in the Scriptures: The builders rejected a certain stone. [But others put] that same stone [in its proper place, and it] has become the most important stone [of the] building [MET]. The Lord has done this, and we marvel as we look at it.
43 Halacotz diotsuet ecen edequiren çaiçuela Iaincoaren resumá, eta emanen çayola, hartaco fructuac eguinen dituen populuari.
So, [because you reject me], I am going to tell you this: God will no longer let you [Jews] be the people over whom he rules. Instead, he will let [non-Jews] be the people over whom he rules, and they will do [IDM] what he asks them to do.
44 Eta harri haren gainera eroriren dena, çathicaturen da: eta noren gainera eroriren baita, hura du chehaturen.
[The important stone in the building represents me, the Messiah, and those who reject me are like people who fall on this stone]. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken into pieces {This cornerstone will break into pieces anyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
45 Eta ençun citzatenean Sacrificadore principaléc, eta Phariseuéc haren comparationeac, eçagut ceçaten ecen heçaz minço cela.
When the chief priests and the [elders who were] Pharisees heard this parable, they realized that he was accusing them [because they did not believe that he was the Messiah].
46 Eta hatzaman nahi çutelaric, populuaren beldur içan ciraden, ceren Propheta beçala hura baitzaducaten.
They wanted to seize him, but [they did not do so] because they were afraid of what the crowds [would do if they did that], because [the crowds] considered that Jesus was a prophet.
