Κατα Ματθαιον 21
1 και οτε ηγγισαν εισ ιεροσολυμα και ηλθον εισ βηθσφαγη προσ το οροσ των ελαιων τοτε ο ιησουσ απεστειλεν δυο μαθητασ
When they came near to Jerusalem [City of peace] (at the beginning of Nissan), and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Yeshua [Salvation] sent two disciples,
2 λεγων αυτοισ πορευθητε εισ την κωμην την απεναντι υμων και ευθεωσ ευρησετε ονον δεδεμενην και πωλον μετ αυτησ λυσαντεσ αγαγετε μοι
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 και εαν τισ υμιν ειπη τι ερειτε οτι ο κυριοσ αυτων χρειαν εχει ευθεωσ δε αποστελλει αυτουσ
If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
4 τουτο δε ολον γεγονεν ινα πληρωθη το ρηθεν δια του προφητου λεγοντοσ
All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 ειπατε τη θυγατρι σιων ιδου ο βασιλευσ σου ερχεται σοι πραυσ και επιβεβηκωσ επι ονον και πωλον υιον υποζυγιου
“Tell the daughter of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
6 πορευθεντεσ δε οι μαθηται και ποιησαντεσ καθωσ προσεταξεν αυτοισ ο ιησουσ
The disciples went, and did just as Yeshua [Salvation] commanded them,
7 ηγαγον την ονον και τον πωλον και επεθηκαν επανω αυτων τα ιματια αυτων και επεκαθισεν επανω αυτων
and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
8 ο δε πλειστοσ οχλοσ εστρωσαν εαυτων τα ιματια εν τη οδω αλλοι δε εκοπτον κλαδουσ απο των δενδρων και εστρωννυον εν τη οδω
A very great multitude carpeted the road with their clothing, while others cut branches from the trees, and spread them on the road.
9 οι δε οχλοι οι προαγοντεσ και οι ακολουθουντεσ εκραζον λεγοντεσ ωσαννα τω υιω δαυιδ ευλογημενοσ ο ερχομενοσ εν ονοματι κυριου ωσαννα εν τοισ υψιστοισ
The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hosanna ·Save now· to the son of David [Beloved]! Blessed is he who comes in the name of MarYah [Master Yahweh]! Hosanna ·Save now· in the highest!”
10 και εισελθοντοσ αυτου εισ ιεροσολυμα εσεισθη πασα η πολισ λεγουσα τισ εστιν ουτοσ
When he had come into Jerusalem [City of peace], all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 οι δε οχλοι ελεγον ουτοσ εστιν ιησουσ ο προφητησ ο απο ναζαρετ τησ γαλιλαιασ
The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Yeshua [Salvation], from Nazareth [Branch, Separated one] of Galilee [District, Circuit].”
12 και εισηλθεν ο ιησουσ εισ το ιερον του θεου και εξεβαλεν παντασ τουσ πωλουντασ και αγοραζοντασ εν τω ιερω και τασ τραπεζασ των κολλυβιστων κατεστρεψεν και τασ καθεδρασ των πωλουντων τασ περιστερασ
Yeshua [Salvation] 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.
13 και λεγει αυτοισ γεγραπται ο οικοσ μου οικοσ προσευχησ κληθησεται υμεισ δε αυτον εποιησατε σπηλαιον ληστων
He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it a den of robbers!”
14 και προσηλθον αυτω χωλοι και τυφλοι εν τω ιερω και εθεραπευσεν αυτουσ
The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15 ιδοντεσ δε οι αρχιερεισ και οι γραμματεισ τα θαυμασια α εποιησεν και τουσ παιδασ κραζοντασ εν τω ιερω και λεγοντασ ωσαννα τω υιω δαυιδ ηγανακτησαν
But when the chief priests and the Torah-Teachers saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna ·Save now· to the son of David [Beloved]!” they were indignant,
16 και ειπον αυτω ακουεισ τι ουτοι λεγουσιν ο δε ιησουσ λεγει αυτοισ ναι ουδεποτε ανεγνωτε οτι εκ στοματοσ νηπιων και θηλαζοντων κατηρτισω αινον
and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?’”
17 και καταλιπων αυτουσ εξηλθεν εξω τησ πολεωσ εισ βηθανιαν και ηυλισθη εκει
He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany [House of affliction], and camped there.
18 πρωιασ δε επαναγων εισ την πολιν επεινασεν
Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
19 και ιδων συκην μιαν επι τησ οδου ηλθεν επ αυτην και ουδεν ευρεν εν αυτη ει μη φυλλα μονον και λεγει αυτη μηκετι εκ σου καρποσ γενηται εισ τον αιωνα και εξηρανθη παραχρημα η συκη (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 και ιδοντεσ οι μαθηται εθαυμασαν λεγοντεσ πωσ παραχρημα εξηρανθη η συκη
When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
21 αποκριθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ αμην λεγω υμιν εαν εχητε πιστιν και μη διακριθητε ου μονον το τησ συκησ ποιησετε αλλα καν τω ορει τουτω ειπητε αρθητι και βληθητι εισ την θαλασσαν γενησεται
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have trusting 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.
22 και παντα οσα εαν αιτησητε εν τη προσευχη πιστευοντεσ ληψεσθε
All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
23 και ελθοντι αυτω εισ το ιερον προσηλθον αυτω διδασκοντι οι αρχιερεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι του λαου λεγοντεσ εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιεισ και τισ σοι εδωκεν την εξουσιαν ταυτην
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 αποκριθεισ δε ο ιησουσ ειπεν αυτοισ ερωτησω υμασ καγω λογον ενα ον εαν ειπητε μοι καγω υμιν ερω εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
Yeshua [Salvation] 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 το βαπτισμα ιωαννου ποθεν ην εξ ουρανου η εξ ανθρωπων οι δε διελογιζοντο παρ εαυτοισ λεγοντεσ εαν ειπωμεν εξ ουρανου ερει ημιν δια τι ουν ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω
The baptism of John [Yah is gracious], 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?’
26 εαν δε ειπωμεν εξ ανθρωπων φοβουμεθα τον οχλον παντεσ γαρ εχουσιν τον ιωαννην ωσ προφητην
But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John [Yah is gracious] as a prophet.”
27 και αποκριθεντεσ τω ιησου ειπον ουκ οιδαμεν εφη αυτοισ και αυτοσ ουδε εγω λεγω υμιν εν ποια εξουσια ταυτα ποιω
They answered Yeshua [Salvation], and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 τι δε υμιν δοκει ανθρωποσ ειχεν τεκνα δυο και προσελθων τω πρωτω ειπεν τεκνον υπαγε σημερον εργαζου εν τω αμπελωνι μου
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.’
29 ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν ου θελω υστερον δε μεταμεληθεισ απηλθεν
He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
30 και προσελθων τω δευτερω ειπεν ωσαυτωσ ο δε αποκριθεισ ειπεν εγω κυριε και ουκ απηλθεν
He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but he didn’t go.
31 τισ εκ των δυο εποιησεν το θελημα του πατροσ λεγουσιν αυτω ο πρωτοσ λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ αμην λεγω υμιν οτι οι τελωναι και αι πορναι προαγουσιν υμασ εισ την βασιλειαν του θεου
Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.
32 ηλθεν γαρ προσ υμασ ιωαννησ εν οδω δικαιοσυνησ και ουκ επιστευσατε αυτω οι δε τελωναι και αι πορναι επιστευσαν αυτω υμεισ δε ιδοντεσ ου μετεμεληθητε υστερον του πιστευσαι αυτω
For John [Yah is gracious] 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 teshuvah ·turn repent· afterward, that you might believe him.
33 αλλην παραβολην ακουσατε ανθρωποσ τισ ην οικοδεσποτησ οστισ εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και φραγμον αυτω περιεθηκεν και ωρυξεν εν αυτω ληνον και ωκοδομησεν πυργον και εξεδοτο αυτον γεωργοισ και απεδημησεν
“Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a wall about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.
34 οτε δε ηγγισεν ο καιροσ των καρπων απεστειλεν τουσ δουλουσ αυτου προσ τουσ γεωργουσ λαβειν τουσ καρπουσ αυτου
When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit.
35 και λαβοντεσ οι γεωργοι τουσ δουλουσ αυτου ον μεν εδειραν ον δε απεκτειναν ον δε ελιθοβολησαν
The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36 παλιν απεστειλεν αλλουσ δουλουσ πλειονασ των πρωτων και εποιησαν αυτοισ ωσαυτωσ
Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.
37 υστερον δε απεστειλεν προσ αυτουσ τον υιον αυτου λεγων εντραπησονται τον υιον μου
But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
38 οι δε γεωργοι ιδοντεσ τον υιον ειπον εν εαυτοισ ουτοσ εστιν ο κληρονομοσ δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον και κατασχωμεν την κληρονομιαν αυτου
But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and seize his inheritance.’
39 και λαβοντεσ αυτον εξεβαλον εξω του αμπελωνοσ και απεκτειναν
So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 οταν ουν ελθη ο κυριοσ του αμπελωνοσ τι ποιησει τοισ γεωργοισ εκεινοισ
When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
41 λεγουσιν αυτω κακουσ κακωσ απολεσει αυτουσ και τον αμπελωνα εκδωσεται αλλοισ γεωργοισ οιτινεσ αποδωσουσιν αυτω τουσ καρπουσ εν τοισ καιροισ αυτων
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 λεγει αυτοισ ο ιησουσ ουδεποτε ανεγνωτε εν ταισ γραφαισ λιθον ον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντεσ ουτοσ εγενηθη εισ κεφαλην γωνιασ παρα κυριου εγενετο αυτη και εστιν θαυμαστη εν οφθαλμοισ ημων
Yeshua [Salvation] 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 Adonai. It is marvelous in our eyes?’
43 δια τουτο λεγω υμιν οτι αρθησεται αφ υμων η βασιλεια του θεου και δοθησεται εθνει ποιουντι τουσ καρπουσ αυτησ
“Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.
44 και ο πεσων επι τον λιθον τουτον συνθλασθησεται εφ ον δ αν πεση λικμησει αυτον
He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but if it falls on him, he will crushed to dust.”
45 και ακουσαντεσ οι αρχιερεισ και οι φαρισαιοι τασ παραβολασ αυτου εγνωσαν οτι περι αυτων λεγει
When the chief priests and the Pharisees [Separated] heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
46 και ζητουντεσ αυτον κρατησαι εφοβηθησαν τουσ οχλουσ επειδη ωσ προφητην αυτον ειχον
When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
