Mateo 21
1 Eta Ierusaleme aldera ciradenean, eta ethor citecenean Bethphagera, Oliuatzetaco mendi aldera, orduan Iesusec igor citzan bi discipulu,
When they had almost reached Jerusalem, having come as far as Bethphage, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent on two disciples.
2 Erraiten cerauela, Çoazte çuen aurkaco burgura, eta bertan eridenen duçue asto emebat estecatua, eta vmebat harequin: lachaturic ekar ietzadaçue.
“Go to the village facing you,” he said, “and you will immediately find an ass tethered, with a foal by her side; untie her, and lead her here for me.
3 Eta baldin nehorc deus badarraçue, erraçue ecen Iaunac behar dituela: ecen bertan igorriren ditu hec.
And, if any one says anything to you, you are to say this — ‘The Master wants them’; and he will send them at once.”
4 Bada haur gucia eguin içan da Prophetáz erran cena compli ledinçát, cioela,
This happened in fulfilment of these words in the Prophet —
5 Erroçue Siongo alabari, Huná, eure reguea ethorten çain mansoric, eta asto emearen, eta vztarricoaren vme arraren gainean iarria.
‘Say to the daughter of Zion — “Behold, thy King is coming to thee, Gentle, and riding on an ass, and on the foal of a beast of burden.”’
6 Discipuluac bada ioan citecen, eta eguin ceçaten Iesusec ordenatu cerauèn beçala.
So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
7 Eta ekar citzaten astoa eta vmea, eta eçar citzaten hayén gainean bere abillamenduac, eta iar eraci ceçaten hayén gainean.
They led the ass and the foal back, and, when they had put their cloaks on them, he seated himself upon them.
8 Eta gendetze handic heda citzaten bere abillamenduac bidean, eta bercéc adarrac piccatzen cituzten arboretaric, eta bidean hedatzen.
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 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 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 Eta sarthu cenean hura Ierusalemen, ciuitate gucia moui cedin, cioela, Nor da haur?
When he had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred, and asked —
11 Eta populuac erraiten çuen, Haur da Iesus Prophetá Galilean den Nazareteco.
“Who is this?”, to which the crowd replied — “This is the Prophet Jesus 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.
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 Eta dioste, Scribatua da, Ene etchea, orationetaco etche deithuren da: baina çuec hura gaichtaguin lece eguin duçue.
and said to them: “Scripture says ‘My House shall be called a house of prayer’; but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”
14 Orduan ethor citecen harengana itsuac eta mainguäc templean: eta senda citzan hec.
While he was still in the Temple Courts, some blind and some lame people came up to him, and he cured 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 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 Eta erran cieçoten, Badançuc hauc cer dioitén? Eta Iesusec erran ciecén, Bay: eztuçue egundano iracurri, Haourrén eta edosquiten dutenén ahotic complitu vkan duc laudorioa.
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 thou hast called forth perfect praise’?”
17 Eta hec vtziric, ilki cedin hiritic campora Bethaniarat: eta ostatu har ceçan han.
Then he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.
18 Eta goicean hirirát itzultzen cela, gosse cedin.
The next morning, in returning to the city, Jesus became 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)
and, noticing a solitary fig tree by the road-side, he went up to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. So he said to it: “Never again shall fruit be gathered off you.” And suddenly the fruit tree withered up. (aiōn g165)
20 Eta hori ikussiric discipuluéc mirets ceçaten, cioitela, Nolatan bertan eyhartu içan da ficotzea?
When the disciples saw this, they exclaimed in astonishment: “How suddenly the fig tree withered up!”
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,” 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 Eta cerere galde eguinen baituçue orationean sinhesten duçuela, recebituren duçue.
And whatever you ask for in your prayers will, if you have faith, be granted you.”
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 Jesus had come into the Temple Courts, the Chief Priests and the Councillors of the Nation came up to him as he was teaching, and said: “What authority have you to do 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,” 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 Ioannesen Baptismoa nondic cen? cerutic ala guiçonetaric? Eta hec baciharducaten berac baithan, cioitela, Baldin erran badeçagu, Cerutic: erranen draucu, Cergatic bada hura eztucue sinhetsi?
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 did not you believe him?’
26 Eta baldin badarragu, Guiçonetaric: beldur gara communaren: ecen guciéc daducate Ioannes Prophetatan.
But if we say ‘human,’ we are afraid of the people, for every one regards John as 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 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 Baina cer irudi çaiçue, Guiçon batec cituen bi seme: eta hurbilduric lehenagana, erran ceçan, Semé habil, egun trabailla adi ene mahastian:
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 to-day my son.’
29 Harc ihardesten çuela erran ceçan, Eztiat nahi: baina guero vrriquituric, ioan cedin.
‘Yes, sir,’ he answered; but he did not go.
30 Guero hurbilduric berceagana, erran cieçón halaber. Eta harc ihardesten çuela erran ceçan, Ni nihoac iauna, Eta etzedin ioan.
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 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 as his father wished?” “The second,” they said. “I tell you,” added Jesus, “that tax-gatherers and prostitutes are going into the Kingdom of God before you.
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.
For when John came to you, walking in the path of righteousness, you did not believe him, but tax-gatherers and prostitutes did; and yet you, though you saw this, even then were not sorry, nor did you 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.
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 Bada fructuén sasoina hurbildu cenean, igor citzan bere cerbitzariac laborarietara, fructuén recebitzera.
When the time for the vintage drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to receive his share of the produce.
35 Eta laborariéc harturic haren cerbitzariac, bata çaurt ceçaten, eta bercea hil, eta bercea lapida.
But the tenants seized his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
36 Berriz igor ceçan berce cerbitzariric lehenac baino guehiago, eta hæi halaber eguin ciecén.
A second time the owner sent some servants, a larger number than before, and the tenants treated them in the same way.
37 Azquenean igor ceçan hetara bere semea, erraiten çuela, Ondraturen dute ene semea.
As a last resource he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
38 Baina laborariéc ikussiric semea erran ceçaten bere artean, Haur da primua, çatozte, hil deçagun haur, eta gatchetzan hunen heretageari.
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 Eta harturic hura iraitz ceçaten mahastitic campora, eta hil ceçaten.
So they seized him, and threw him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Dathorrenean bada mahasti iabeac cer eguinen drauè laborari hæy?
Now, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”
41 Diotsate, Gaichto hec gaizqui deseguinen: eta bere sasoinean fructuac renda dietzoyoten berce laborariri bere mahastia alocaturen.
“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 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?
Then Jesus added: “Have you never read in the Scriptures? — ‘The very stone which the builders despised — Has now itself become the corner-stone; This corner-stone has come from the Lord, and is marvellous in our eyes.’
43 Halacotz diotsuet ecen edequiren çaiçuela Iaincoaren resumá, eta emanen çayola, hartaco fructuac eguinen dituen populuari.
And 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 Eta harri haren gainera eroriren dena, çathicaturen da: eta noren gainera eroriren baita, hura du chehaturen.
Yes, and he who falls on this stone will be dashed to pieces, while any one on whom it falls — it will scatter him as dust.”
45 Eta ençun citzatenean Sacrificadore principaléc, eta Phariseuéc haren comparationeac, eçagut ceçaten ecen heçaz minço cela.
After listening to these parables, the Chief Priests and the Pharisees saw that it was about them that he was speaking;
46 Eta hatzaman nahi çutelaric, populuaren beldur içan ciraden, ceren Propheta beçala hura baitzaducaten.
yet, although eager to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, who regarded him as a Prophet.
