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 were come near Jerusalem and had arrived at Bethphage and the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of the disciples on in front,
2 a belle nani, “Can nan nya kagbiri nbune, ima yenu kajaki terin ku, nin gono kajake ku. bunkun ninin ida nei ni ning.
saying to them, "Go to the village you see facing you, and as you enter it you will find a she-ass tied up and a foal with her. Untie her and bring them to 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, say, 'The Master needs them,' and he will at once send them."
4 Imone wa so nani inan kulo uliru ulenge na iwa bellin kkiti nnan liru nin nuu Kutelle nworo,
This took place in order that the Prophet's prediction might be fulfilled:
5 “Bellen ushonon Sihiyona, yene, Ugo fee din cinu udak kitife, Nin toltunu liti kitene kajaki, Kitene kalpadari, gono kajaki.”
"Tell the Daughter of Zion, 'See, thy King is coming to thee, gentle, and yet mounted on an ass, even on a colt 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 instructed them:
7 I da nin kayake nin ka gonoe, i tarsa imon nidowo mine kitene, Yisa nin so kitene.
they brought the she-ass and the foal, and threw their outer garments on them. So He sat on them;
8 Ngbardangg nanite nonkuzo imon mine libauwe, among tutuung kezze tilang nace inonkuzo libauwe.
and most of the crowd kept spreading their garments along the road, while others cut branches from the trees and carpeted the road with them,
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!”
and the multitudes--some of the people preceding Him and some following--sang aloud, "God save the Son of David! Blessings on Him who comes in the Lord's name! God in the highest Heavens save Him!"
10 nKubi kongo na Yesu wa piru Urushalima, vat kipine wayissin dang, “Ghari ulele?”
When He thus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was thrown into commotion, every one inquiring, "Who is this?"
11 Ligozin nanite kawa, “Yesuari ulele, unan liru nin nuu Kutelle, na ana nuzun Galili.”
"This is Jesus, the Prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee," replied the crowds.
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.
Entering the Temple, Jesus drove out all who were buying and selling there, and overturned the money-changers' tables 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.”
"It is written," He said, "'My House shall be called the House of Prayer', but you are making it a robbers' cave."
14 Aduuwe nanan kentu daa kitime nyan haikali, a shino nin ghinu.
And the blind and the lame came to Him in the Temple, 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 High Priests and the Scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done and the children who were crying aloud in the Temple, "God save the Son of David," they were filled with indignation.
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'?”
"Do you hear," they asked Him, "what these children are saying?" "Yes," He replied; "have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of infants and of babes at the breast Thou hast brought forth the praise which is due'?"
17 Yesu suun nani anuzu kipine adoo Ubetani adi moru ku.
So He left them and went out of the city to Bethany and passed the night there.
18 Nin kui ding-ding ghe na akpilla nya kipine, awadin lanzu kukpon.
Early in the morning as He was on His way to return to the city He was 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 seeing a fig-tree on the road-side He went up to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. "On you," He said, "no fruit shall ever again grow." And immediately the fig-tree withered away. (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 it they exclaimed in astonishment, "How instantaneously the fig-tree has withered away!"
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 solemnly tell you," said Jesus, "that if you have an unwavering faith, you shall not only perform such a miracle as this of the fig-tree, but that even if you say to this mountain, 'Be thou lifted up and hurled into the sea,' it shall be done;
22 Asa iyinna vat nile imon na itirina nya nlira iba seru.”
and everything, whatever it be, that you ask for in your prayers, if you have faith, you shall obtain."
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?”
He entered the Temple; and while He was teaching, the High Priests and the Elders of the people came to Him and asked Him, "By what authority are you doing these things? and 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.
"And I also have a question to ask you," replied Jesus, "and if you answer me, I in turn will tell you by what authority I do these things.
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?'
John's Baptism, whence was it? --had it a heavenly or a human origin?" So they debated the matter among themselves. "If we say 'a heavenly origin,'" they argued, "he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'
26 Tiwa woro unuzu nati, 'Tilanza fiu ligozin,' bara na vat iwa yene Yohanna kufo unan kadura.”
and if we say 'a human origin' we have the people to fear, for they all hold John to have been 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 they answered Jesus, "We do not know." "Nor do I tell you," He replied, "by what authority I do these things."
28 Iyanghari ukpilzu mine? Unit nin nasaun a ba, adoo kiti kin funu aworo, 'Usaun can kuneng kitimone udu su kataa.'
"But give me your judgement. There was a man who had two sons. He came to the elder of them, and said, "'My son, go and work in the vineyard to-day.'
29 Usaun kawa aworo, 'Nan ba duba,' na akpilza kibinei me anyaa udu kunene.
"'I will not,' he replied. "But afterwards he was sorry, and went.
30 Unite doo kitin saun unbee abellin ghe fo unan infune. Ule usaune kawa ghe aworo, 'Mba du, Cikilari,' na adoo ba.
He came to the second and spoke in the same manner. His answer was, "'I will go, Sir.' "But he did not go.
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 did as his father desired?" "The first," they said. "I solemnly tell you,' replied Jesus, "that the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners are entering the Kingdom of God in front of 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 John came to you observing all sorts of ritual, and you put no faith in him: the tax-gatherers and the notorious sinners did put faith in him, and you, though you saw this example set you, were not even afterwards sorry so as to 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. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, made a fence round it, dug a wine-tank in it, and built a strong lodge; then let the place to vine-dressers, and went abroad.
34 Na kubi kusane ndaa susut, atoo aciin me kiti na nan kataa we inighe kumat na ce.
When vintage-time approached, he sent his servants to the vine-dressers to receive his share of the grapes;
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 vine-dressers seized the servants, and one they cruelly beat, one they killed, one they pelted with stones.
36 Tutung unan kunene too among aciin me, ngardang mine kata anan finue, anan kataa kunene suu nin ghinu fo anan finue.
Again he sent another party of servants more numerous than the first; and these they treated in the same manner.
37 Nkatu nani, unan kunene too usaun me kitime, aworo, 'Iba ghantinu usauni ghe gongong.”
Later still he sent to them his son, saying, "'They will respect my son.'
38 Na anan kataa we nyene usaune, I woro nati mine, 'Usau nare ulele. Dan timolu ghe ti li ugadu me.'
"But the vine-dressers, when they saw the son, said to one another, "'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, dragged him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Neenee kubi koo na unan kunene nwadak, nyan gharai aba suu nin na nan kataa kunene?”
When then the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-dressers?"
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.”
"He will put the wretches to a wretched death," was the reply, "and will entrust the vineyard to other vine-dressers who will render the produce to him at the vintage season."
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?'
"Have you never read in the Scriptures," said Jesus, "'The Stone which the builders rejected has been made the Cornerstone: this Cornerstone came from the Lord, and is wonderful 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.
"That, I tell you, is the reason why the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and given to a nation that will exhibit the power of it.
44 Vat nle na deo kitene litala lole aba putuzu agir-agir. Ulenge na litale ndeo litime liba jazilinghe.
He who falls on this stone will be severely hurt; but he on whom it falls will be utterly crushed."
45 Na udya na priestoci nin na Farisawa nlanza too tinan tigoldue iyinno adi nliru natimine re.
After listening to His parables the High Priests and the Pharisees perceived that He was speaking about them;
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.
but though they were eager to lay hands upon Him, they were afraid of the people, for by them He was regarded as a Prophet.
