Matthew 21
1 When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Jesu yeni o ŋɔdkaaba ń nagi Jerusalema, ki pundi Betifaje, Olifie tiidi juali gamu, Jesu ń sɔni o ŋɔdkaaba bilie,
2 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.
ki maadi ba: «Gedi mani ki dogbiga yaaga ye i liiga ne; yin ba pundi ya yognu, i ba la ŋunñua ke o luoli, yeni ki ŋunbiga; yin lodi ba ki cua yeni ba na
3 If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
Nilo ya maadi yi bonli, yin jiini o: “O Diedo n bua ba. Lanyognu mɔno, o ba cabi, yin gedi yeni ba.”
4 All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
Mɔla, ya bonli ne tieni ke o sawalpualo ń den tuodi ki waani yaali ń tieni ki dudi
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
Yedi mani Siyɔn bisalo: «Lani n yeni, a bisalo kpendi a kani, ki dingi boncianla, ki jagi o ŋunbo, ŋunbiga, ŋunñua ya biga.»
6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them,
O ŋɔdkaaba ń gedi ki tieni Jesu ń waani ba ki ban tieni yaali.
7 and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
Ban guani yeni o ŋunbo yeni ki ŋunbiga, ki ladi bi po bi tialakaadi, ki cedi ke o jagi
8 A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
Ku niwulgu siiga, bi niba boncianla den ladi bi tialakaadi u sanu nni; ke bi tianba padi i tiibensɔngi ki ladi u sanu nni.
9 The multitudes who went in front of him, and those 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!”
Yaaba n den ye Jesu liiga yeni yaaba n den ŋua o den kpaandi ki maadi: “Osana, Daafiid Bijua! Mi yedŋanma yua n kpendi O Diedo yeli po! Osana hali tanpojoma.
10 When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
Wan kua Jerusalema, lan yaa ki lidi yuakuli u dogciamu nni, ke bi ji maadi: One mo tie ŋma i?
11 The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Ke ku niwulgu tandi ku tua: “O tie Jesu i, o sawalpualo, ke o tie Galile nni Nasareti yua.”
12 Jesus entered into the temple of God 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.
Jesu ń kua U Tienu jaadiegu nni, wan beli ki ñani yaaba n den kuadi yeni yaaba n den daa ku jaadiegu nni kuli, ki tudi ki lu lu yaaba n den cendi i ligi taablinba yeni a kpajekuada kpaga,
13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”
ki yedi ba: li diani: «“N diegu baa yi jaandiegu” Ama ke yinba wani nan cedi ke gu tua suudjongu.»
14 The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
Ke a juama yeni mu wabmu nagni o kani li jaandieli nni, ke o tebi ba.
15 But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,
Bi salga yidkacianba yeni a gbanbanda ń la wan tieni ya yaalidgu tuona, ki gbadi ke a bila kpaandi ku jaandiegu nni, ki tua: “Osana Daafiid Bijua!”, ke bi pala beni.
16 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 nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”
Ban maadi o: “A gbadi ban maadi yaali ii? Jesu ń jiini ba “Nn, i da ki kpeli ki cogi yaali diani ne ee?”: “A cedi ke a bila yeni ya canpandmu n da ŋaani mi biima pagi a, ki dondi a.”
17 He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.
Ki ñani ki ŋa ba, ki lie u dogu, ki gedi Betani, ki ban duani li po.
18 Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
Ku siŋaagu nni wan den gɔa ki lebi u dogu po, ke mi koma cuo o.
19 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)
Ke o la bu kankanbu u sankunu, ke o nagni, waa la kankanli se kankanfaadi. K o yedi bu: “luanli ń ji da jɔni a ya po palb.” Lanyognu mɔno, ke bu kankanbu yeni kuodi. (aiōn g165)
20 When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
Bi todkaaba ń la lani, lan yaa ki lidi ba, ban maadi: “li tieni ledi i, ke bu kankanbu ne kuodi yenma?
21 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t 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.
Jesu ń jiini ba: “N maadi yi i mɔni, i ya bi pia ti dudugdi ke tama ki ye, i bi kan tieni min tieni bu kankanbu yaali ne baba ka, ama i ya bi yedi li juali ne: “Figdi li kani ki gedi ban jiidi ki baa mi ñincianma nni.” Li bi ba tieni.”
22 All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
I ya jaandi, ki mia yaali yeni ti dudugdi, i ba baa.
23 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?”
Jesu ń gedi ku jaadiegu nni ki ban ya tundi; lanyognu, salga yidkaacianba yeni u dogu nni nikpela ń cua ki buali o: “Aduu li laa yiko po i ki tie ya bona ne kuli, ŋma n cabi li yiko?”
24 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.
Jesu ń jiini ba: “N mo ba buali yi i buali, i ya jiini nni i, n mo ba maadi yi ya yiko po ke duu, ki tie lan ya bona.”
25 The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
Jan batisma, li den ñani le i? Tanpoli bii, bi niba kani i? Ama ban juogi bi ŋmiali nni, ki taa ya maalma ne; ti ya maadi ke li ñani U Tienu kani, o ba buali ti: “Be n cedi ke i den ki tuo ki ga o maama?
26 But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”
Ti ke li ñani bi niba kani mo, ku niwulgu kan tuo ti po; kelima bikuli bani ke o tie sawalpualo i.
27 They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Lanwani i, ban jiini Jesu: “Tii bani” Jesu mo ń guani ki jiini ba: “N mo ka maadi yi ya yiko po ke n tie ya bona ne.”
28 But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
I pia mi laa maalma i? O ja bo ye, ki pia bijaba lie, ki yedi o bijakpelo: “Dinne n biga, ŋan gedi ki ban sɔni n daamɔgu tiidi kuanu nni.”
29 He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
Wan jiini: “Mii caa.” lan yani waamu, wan tuuba, ki lebdi o yama, k gedi,
30 He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go.
Wan maadi yua n sieni mo yeni, lan ya biga mo ń jiini: “Canbáa, n ba gedi. “Ama o naa gedi.
31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.
Bani bijaba lie yeni, ole po n tieni o báa buama? Ban jiini o: “O bijakpelo” Jesu ń maadi ba: “N maadi yi i mɔni, lonpo gaala yeni a concona ba ga i liiga U Tienu diema nni.
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
Kelima Jan cua i kani mi teginma sani nni, ama, i naa tuo ki ga o maama. Ama, lompo gaala yeni a concona wani i, tuo ki ga o maama. Ke yinba yaaba n la lankuli, i ki tuuba, ki lebdi i pala ki ga o maama.
33 “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 wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.
Cengi mani kpanjantɔma. O ja den ye, ki tie diedaano, ki pia ku daamɔngu tiidi kuanu, ki ŋuu i tiidi ki kagni, ki lindi, ki lugdi ku tantiagu po ku buogu, ban baa to naani, ki ŋa ku daamɔngu, ki maa li pagli, ki pani, ki ji ga a tuonsɔnla ke bi guu lebli. O den fii, ki puodi li kpaali ki gedi dogtianu.
34 When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
U kuanu bona ń beni ke ku kpaangu yogu pundi, wan sɔni o naacenba bi kuaguudba kani ke ban ga o kuanu biinu na.
35 The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
Bi kuaguudba ń cuo bi naacenba, ki pua yendo, ki kpa o lielo, ki jaa o taalo a tana.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.
Wan sɔni naacentɔba, ke bi yabi ki cie kpiama yaaba, bi kuaguudba tieni bi mo yeni i.
37 But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
Wan ji juodi ki sɔni o bijua, ki maadi o yama nni: “Bi ba cɔlni n bijua wani.”
38 But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’
Ama bi kuaguudba ń la o bi cabáa bijua, ban juogi bi ŋmiali nni maama ne: “O faadilo n yeni; cua mani tin taani, ki kpa o, ki diedi li faali.
39 So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.
Ke bi cuo o, ki dadi ki ñani o ki jɔndi yeni u kuanu, ki kpa o.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
Mɔla o kuadaano ji ya cua, o ji ba tieni bi kuaguudba yeni ledi i?
41 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.”
Ke bi jiini: “O ba cedi ya cacagdanba ne ń kpe mi cacagkuuma, wan ga tuonsɔntianba ban ya guu o kuanu, ki tieni o o kuanu biinu ku kpaangu yogu.
42 Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?
Jesu ń maadi ba: “I ki kpeli ki cogi i diani nni ii: “A tanmaala ń luni ya tanli yeni, lani n tua li tanpuukaali; lankuli ñani O Diedo kani i, ki tie yaalidgu bona ti nunbu nni.
43 “Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.
Lani n cedi ke n maadi yi: “Bi ba fie U Tienu diema i nui nni, ki teni ya nibuolu n ba fidi ki cedi man loni a luana.”
44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
“Yua baá li tanli po ba jendi jendi, li tanli ń baá yua ya po mo, o ba yodi yodi i.”
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
Salga yidkaacianba yeni farisienba ń gbadi Jesu maakpanjama, ban bandi ke o maadi bani ya maama i.
46 When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
Ban ji ya gbaa ke ban cuo o; ama ki nan jie ku niwulgu, kelima bi den bani ke o tie sawalpualo.
