Mattheum 21
1 Et cum appropinquassent Ierosolymis, et venissent Bethphage ad Montem Oliveti: tunc Iesus misit duos discipulos,
And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, unto the mount of the Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 dicens eis: Ite in castellum, quod contra vos est, et statim invenietis asinam alligatam, et pullum cum ea: solvite, et adducite mihi:
saying to them, 'Go on to the village over-against you, and immediately ye shall find an ass bound, and a colt with her — having loosed, bring ye to me;
3 et si quis vobis aliquid dixerit, dicite quia Dominus his opus habet: et confestim dimittet eos.
and if any one may say anything to you, ye shall say, that the lord hath need of them, and immediately he will send them.'
4 Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per prophetam, dicentem:
And all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 Dicite filiæ Sion: Ecce Rex tuus venit tibi mansuetus, sedens super asinam, et pullum filium subiugalis.
'Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy king doth come to thee, meek, and mounted on an ass, and a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.'
6 Euntes autem discipuli fecerunt sicut præcepit illis Iesus.
And the disciples having gone and having done as Jesus commanded them,
7 Et adduxerunt asinam, et pullum: et imposuerunt super eos vestimenta sua, et eum desuper sedere fecerunt.
brought the ass and the colt, and did put on them their garments, and set [him] upon them;
8 Plurima autem turba straverunt vestimenta sua in via: alii autem cædebant ramos de arboribus, et sternebant in via:
and the very great multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way,
9 turbæ autem, quæ præcedebant, et quæ sequebantur, clamabant, dicentes: Hosanna Filio David: benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini: hosanna in altissimis.
and the multitudes who were going before, and who were following, were crying, saying, 'Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.'
10 Et cum intrasset Ierosolymam, commota est universa civitas, dicens: Quis est hic?
And he having entered into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, 'Who is this?'
11 Populi autem dicebant: Hic est Iesus Propheta a Nazareth Galilææ.
And the multitudes said, 'This is Jesus the prophet, who [is] from Nazareth of Galilee.'
12 Et intravit Iesus in templum Dei, et eiiciebat omnes vendentes, et ementes in templo, et mensas numulariorum, et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit:
And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and did cast forth all those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers he overturned, and the seats of those selling the doves,
13 et dicit eis: Scriptum est: Domus mea domus orationis vocabitur: vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronum.
and he saith to them, 'It hath been written, My house a house of prayer shall be called, but ye did make it a den of robbers.'
14 Et accesserunt ad eum cæci, et claudi in templo: et sanavit eos.
And there came to him blind and lame men in the temple, and he healed them,
15 Videntes autem principes sacerdotum, et Scribæ mirabilia, quæ fecit, et pueros clamantes in templo, et dicentes: Hosanna Filio David: indignati sunt,
and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, 'Hosanna to the Son of David,' were much displeased;
16 et dixerunt ei: Audis quid isti dicunt? Iesus autem dixit eis: Utique. Numquam legistis: Quia ex ore infantium, et lactentium perfecisti laudem?
and they said to him, 'Hearest thou what these say?' And Jesus saith to them, 'Yes, did ye never read, that, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst prepare praise?'
17 Et relictis illis, abiit foras extra Civitatem in Bethaniam: ibique mansit.
And having left them, he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and did lodge there,
18 Mane autem revertens in Civitatem, esuriit.
and in the morning turning back to the city, he hungered,
19 Et videns fici arborem unam secus viam, venit ad eam: et nihil invenit in ea nisi folia tantum, et ait illi: Numquam ex te fructus nascatur in sempiternum. Et arefacta est continuo ficulnea. (aiōn g165)
and having seen a certain fig-tree on the way, he came to it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and he saith to it, 'No more from thee may fruit be — to the age;' and forthwith the fig-tree withered. (aiōn g165)
20 Et videntes discipuli, mirati sunt, dicentes: Quomodo continuo aruit?
And the disciples having seen, did wonder, saying, 'How did the fig-tree forthwith wither?'
21 Respondens autem Iesus, ait eis: Amen dico vobis, si habueritis fidem, et non hæsitaveritis, non solum de ficulnea facietis, sed et si monti huic dixeritis, Tolle, et iacta te in mare, fiet.
And Jesus answering said to them, 'Verily I say to you, If ye may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig-tree shall ye do, but even if to this mount ye may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it shall come to pass;
22 Et omnia quæcumque petieritis in oratione credentes, accipietis.
and all — as much as ye may ask in the prayer, believing, ye shall receive.'
23 Et cum venisset in templum, accesserunt ad eum docentem, principes sacerdotum, et seniores populi, dicentes: In qua potestate hæc facis? Et quis tibi dedit hanc potestatem?
And he having come to the temple, there came to him when teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people, saying, 'By what authority dost thou do these things? and who gave thee this authority?'
24 Respondens Iesus dixit eis: Interrogabo vos et ego unum sermonem: quem si dixeritis mihi, et ego vobis dicam in qua potestate hæc facio.
And Jesus answering said to them, 'I will ask you — I also — one word, which if ye may tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things;
25 Baptismus Ioannis unde erat? e cælo, an ex hominibus? At illi cogitabant inter se, dicentes:
the baptism of John, whence was it? — from heaven, or from men?' And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, 'If we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?
26 Si dixerimus, e cælo, dicet nobis: Quare ergo non credidistis illi? Si autem dixerimus, ex hominibus, timemus turbam: omnes enim habebant Ioannem sicut prophetam.
and if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.'
27 Et respondentes Iesu, dixerunt: Nescimus. Ait illis et ipse: Nec ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc facio.
And answering Jesus they said, 'We have not known.' He said to them — he also — 'Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 Quid autem vobis videtur? Homo quidam habebat duos filios, et accedens ad primum, dixit: Fili, vade hodie, operare in vinea mea.
'And what think ye? A man had two children, and having come to the first, he said, Child, go, to-day be working in my vineyard.'
29 Ille autem respondens, ait: Nolo. Postea autem, pœnitentia motus, abiit.
And he answering said, 'I will not,' but at last, having repented, he went.
30 Accedens autem ad alterum, dixit similiter. At ille respondens, ait: Eo, domine, et non ivit.
'And having come to the second, he said in the same manner, and he answering said, I [go], sir, and went not;
31 Quis ex duobus fecit voluntatem patris? Dicunt ei: Primus. Dicit illis Iesus: Amen dico vobis, quia publicani, et meretrices præcedent vos in regnum Dei.
which of the two did the will of the father?' They say to him, 'The first.' Jesus saith to them, 'Verily I say to you, that the tax-gatherers and the harlots do go before you into the reign of God,
32 Venit enim ad vos Ioannes in via iustitiæ, et non credidistis ei. Publicani autem, et meretrices crediderunt ei: vos autem videntes nec pœnitentiam habuistis postea, ut crederetis ei.
for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him, and the tax-gatherers and the harlots did believe him, and ye, having seen, repented not at last — to believe him.
33 Aliam parabolam audite: Homo erat paterfamilias, qui plantavit vineam, et sepem circumdedit ei, et fodit in ea torcular, et ædificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est.
'Hear ye another simile: There was a certain man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and did put a hedge round it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
34 Cum autem tempus fructuum appropinquasset, misit servos suos ad agricolas, ut acciperent fructus eius.
'And when the season of the fruits came nigh, he sent his servants unto the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it,
35 Et agricolæ, apprehensis servis eius, alium ceciderunt, alium occiderunt, alium vero lapidaverunt.
and the husbandmen having taken his servants, one they scourged, and one they killed, and one they stoned.
36 Iterum misit alios servos plures prioribus, et fecerunt illis similiter.
'Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them in the same manner.
37 Novissime autem misit ad eos filium suum, dicens: Verebuntur filium meum.
'And at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son;
38 Agricolæ autem videntes filium, dixerunt intra se: Hic est hæres, venite, occidamus eum, et habebimus hereditatem eius.
and the husbandmen having seen the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and may possess his inheritance;
39 Et apprehensum eum eiecerunt extra vineam, et occiderunt.
and having taken him, they cast [him] out of the vineyard, and killed him;
40 Cum ergo venerit dominus vineæ, quid faciet agricolis illis?
whenever therefore the lord of the vineyard may come, what will he do to these husbandmen?'
41 Aiunt illi: Malos male perdet: et vineam suam locabit aliis agricolis, qui reddant ei fructum temporibus suis.
They say to him, 'Evil men — he will evilly destroy them, and the vineyard will give out to other husbandmen, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.'
42 Dicit illis Iesus: Numquam legistis in Scripturis: Lapidem, quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli. A Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris:
Jesus saith to them, 'Did ye never read in the Writings, A stone that the builders disallowed, it became head of a corner; from the Lord hath this come to pass, and it is wonderful in our eyes.
43 ideo dico vobis, quia auferetur a vobis regnum Dei, et dabitur genti facienti fructus eius.
'Because of this I say to you, that the reign of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth its fruit;
44 Et qui ceciderit super lapidem istum, confringetur: super quem vero ceciderit, conteret eum.
and he who is falling on this stone shall be broken, and on whomsoever it may fall it will crush him to pieces.'
45 Et cum audissent principes sacerdotum, et Pharisæi parabolas eius, cognoverunt quod de ipsis diceret.
And the chief priests and the Pharisees having heard his similes, knew that of them he speaketh,
46 Et quærentes eum tenere, timuerunt turbas: quoniam sicut prophetam eum habebant.
and seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, seeing they were holding him as a prophet.
