Matiyu 21
1 Na Yisa nin nono katwa me nda duru susut nin urshalima ida U Baitfayi, kusari likup Nzaitan, Yisa tunna a to nono katwa me naba,
When they had almost reached Jerusalem, having come as far as Bethphage, on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent on two disciples.
2 a belle nani, “Can nan nya kagbiri nbune, ima yenu kajaki terin ku, nin gono kajake ku. bunkun ninin ida nei ni ning.
“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 Andi umong matirinu ubeleng nining, ima woru, 'Cikilari di nin su nining,' unit une na turun munu nin nining.
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 Imone wa so nani inan kulo uliru ulenge na iwa bellin kkiti nnan liru nin nuu Kutelle nworo,
This happened in fulfilment of these words in the Prophet —
5 “Bellen ushonon Sihiyona, yene, Ugo fee din cinu udak kitife, Nin toltunu liti kitene kajaki, Kitene kalpadari, gono kajaki.”
‘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 Nono katwa me tunna ido idi su nafo ubellu me.
So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
7 I da nin kayake nin ka gonoe, i tarsa imon nidowo mine kitene, Yisa nin so kitene.
They led the ass and the foal back, and, when they had put their cloaks on them, he seated himself upon them.
8 Ngbardangg nanite nonkuzo imon mine libauwe, among tutuung kezze tilang nace inonkuzo libauwe.
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 Ligozin nanite na iwa din nbun in Yisa nin na lenge na iwadi dortughe, jartiza kang, i woro. (Hossana) Liru udu kiti Nsaun Dauda! Unan mmariari ame ulenge na adin cinu nanya lissan Cikilari. Hosanna udya!”
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 nKubi kongo na Yesu wa piru Urushalima, vat kipine wayissin dang, “Ghari ulele?”
When he had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred, and asked —
11 Ligozin nanite kawa, “Yesuari ulele, unan liru nin nuu Kutelle, na ana nuzun Galili.”
“Who is this?”, to which the crowd replied — “This is the Prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”
12 Na Yesu npira ukaikali Kutelle, akoo ale na idin sessu ilesse nya kaikale atunna awufuzu atebur na nan kpillizu nikkurfung ghe nan niti lisosin na nan lessu na tattabara.
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 Aworo nani, “Ina nyertin, 'Kilari nighe iba yicu kinin kilarin nlira,' inani kpilaa kinin ki so lii na kir.”
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 Aduuwe nanan kentu daa kitime nyan haikali, a shino nin ghinu.
While he was still in the Temple Courts, some blind and some lame people came up to him, and he cured them.
15 Na udya na priest nin na nan nyerte inyene imon izikiki na a suu, na ilanza nono din teit nyan haikali idin belu, “Huzana kitin gonon Dauda,” nibinei mine nana.
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 I woroghe, “Ulanza ile imon na anile alele din bele?” Yesu woro nani, “Ee! Na anun sa karanta baa, 'Na iyiru liruu din nucu tinuu nnono nibebene nin ninese baa'?”
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 Yesu suun nani anuzu kipine adoo Ubetani adi moru ku.
Then he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and spent the night there.
18 Nin kui ding-ding ghe na akpilla nya kipine, awadin lanzu kukpon.
The next morning, in returning to the city, Jesus became hungry;
19 Libau we ayene ku ca kupal, adoo kiti kunin, na ase imonku ba sei afa, awore kuce, “Sali gang na iwa se kumat kiti fe ba.” Kitene kuca kupule tunna ku koto. (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 Na nono katwa we inyene nani, imone taani zikiki i woro, “Inyizyarin ntaa kuca kupul koni mba tunna ko koto kite?”
When the disciples saw this, they exclaimed in astonishment: “How suddenly the fig tree withered up!”
21 Yesu kawa aworo nani, “Kidegen inbelin minu, i wa dinin kidegen na ikosu nibinei ba, naiba suu ile imon na ina su ku ca kupule kune cas ba, iba bellu likup lole caccana udyun nyan mmen, tutung uba soo nanin.
“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 Asa iyinna vat nile imon na itirina nya nlira iba seru.”
And whatever you ask for in your prayers will, if you have faith, be granted you.”
23 Na Yesu ndaa nyan haikali, udya na priest nin nakune na nite daa kitime, a ayitan ndursuzu aworo, “Na yapi akarari udin su ile imone? tutung ghari nafi lolikare?”
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 Yesu kawa aworo ani, “Meng wang ba tirin mi nu utirinu urum, anun wa belli meng wang ba bellu minu sa likara nghari ndin suu ile imon.
“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 Ubaptisman Yohanna-uwa nuzun weari, unuzu kitene sa nanit?” Igbondilo na timine, iworo, “Tiwa woro, 'Unuzu kitene,' aba woro ari, 'Inyan ghari wa ti na iyinna nin ghe ba?'
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 Tiwa woro unuzu nati, 'Tilanza fiu ligozin,' bara na vat iwa yene Yohanna kufo unan kadura.”
But if we say ‘human,’ we are afraid of the people, for every one regards John as a Prophet.”
27 Ikawa Yesu ku iworo, “Na tiyiru ba.” Ame wang woro ani na meng ba bellu minu sa nya na kara nghari meng din su ile imone ba.
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 Iyanghari ukpilzu mine? Unit nin nasaun a ba, adoo kiti kin funu aworo, 'Usaun can kuneng kitimone udu su kataa.'
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 Usaun kawa aworo, 'Nan ba duba,' na akpilza kibinei me anyaa udu kunene.
‘Yes, sir,’ he answered; but he did not go.
30 Unite doo kitin saun unbee abellin ghe fo unan infune. Ule usaune kawa ghe aworo, 'Mba du, Cikilari,' na adoo ba.
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 Nya na saun abe uyemeari wa poo ucif me liburi?” I woro, “Unan finu.” Yesu woro nani, “Kidegennari in belin minu, anan sessun gandu nin nakilaki ba yarin minu npiru kilari Kutelle.
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 Yohanna wa dak kitimine nin libau lilau, na iyinna nin ghe ba, anan sessun gandu nin na kilaki yinna nin ghe, anun tutung, na iyene ileli imone, na iba cino alapi mine idan se kubi iyinna ninghe ba.
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 Lanzan nton tinan tigoldo, umong unit wa duku, unite nin kuneng gbardang, a bilsa a ca ku anin kee udanga ku, awuzu kuu kaciso ku anin kee kutii ncaa ku, anaa kibala kunin, anin nyaa udu mmon mmin.
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 Na kubi kusane ndaa susut, atoo aciin me kiti na nan kataa we inighe kumat na ce.
When the time for the vintage drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to receive his share of the produce.
35 Anan kataa kunene kifo aciin me, ifo warun, imolo umong nannyee inin kunene kifo aciin me, ifo warun imolo umong nannyee inin tasa umong nin na tala.
But the tenants seized his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
36 Tutung unan kunene too among aciin me, ngardang mine kata anan finue, anan kataa kunene suu nin ghinu fo anan finue.
A second time the owner sent some servants, a larger number than before, and the tenants treated them in the same way.
37 Nkatu nani, unan kunene too usaun me kitime, aworo, 'Iba ghantinu usauni ghe gongong.”
As a last resource he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
38 Na anan kataa we nyene usaune, I woro nati mine, 'Usau nare ulele. Dan timolu ghe ti li ugadu me.'
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 Inutung ghe nya kunene, inin imolo ghe.
So they seized him, and threw him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Neenee kubi koo na unan kunene nwadak, nyan gharai aba suu nin na nan kataa kunene?”
Now, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?”
41 Anite woroghe, “Aba molu anan kataa ananzang anee nya libau nsalin kune kune, anin ni kibala kunene kiti nameng, anit ale na iba biu ikurfung kubi ko na imon kunene nyini.”
“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 Yesu woro ani, “Na ikaranta nyan litape ba, 'Litala lo na anan makeke na nari linnare nda soo liti ne. Ilele unuzu kitin Cikilari, tutung udi zikiki bite?'
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 Bara nani nbelin minu, iba seru kutii tigoo Kutelle kitimine ini mmin moo na ini maa kazuzu minin kolu kumati te.
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 Vat nle na deo kitene litala lole aba putuzu agir-agir. Ulenge na litale ndeo litime liba jazilinghe.
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 Na udya na priestoci nin na Farisawa nlanza too tinan tigoldue iyinno adi nliru natimine re.
After listening to these parables, the Chief Priests and the Pharisees saw that it was about them that he was speaking;
46 Ko kobe kubi ko na asa imala ukifu ghe, asa ilanza fiu ligozin na nite bara na anit gbardang nyira ghe ame unan nliru nin nuu Kutelleari.
yet, although eager to arrest him, they were afraid of the crowds, who regarded him as a Prophet.
