Matthai 21
1 Jerusalem pha tawm unawh Olive tlang awhkaw Bethphage khaw ami pha awh, Jesu ing a hubat thlang pakhih ce haina tyi hy,
When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Yeshua sent two disciples,
2 Cekkqawi a venawh, “Nani haiawh ak awm khawk khuina cet nih nawhtaw meqang ca ingkaw a nu ami king ce hu kawm nik ti. A qui ce hlam nih nawh ka venna sawi law nih.
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 U ingawm anik kaanaak qawi awhtaw, Bawipa ing ngoe hy, thak law tlaih bit kaw, tina nih,” tinak qawi hy.
If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
4 Vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi boeih taw tawngha ing anak kqawn hyt ce a soepnaak a hamna ni:
All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 “Zion canu ce kqawn pe, 'Na sangpahrang kawdaw ing meqang awh, meqang noca awh ngawi kawmsaw law kaw,” a tice.
“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.”
6 A hubat qawi ce cet nih nawh Jesu ing awi a peek qawi amyihna sai hy nih.
The disciples went and did just as Yeshua commanded them,
7 Cekkqawi ing meqang a nu ingkaw ak noca ce hawlaw hy nih, meqang ak khan awh hi phaih pe nih nawh, ak khan awh Jesu ce ngawih sak uhy.
and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
8 Thlang kqeng khawzah ing hikhqi ce lam awh phaih pe uhy, thlang vang ing thingbupkhqi ce chawm unawh lam awh phaih pe uhy.
A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
9 Haina ak cetkhqi ingkaw hu nakaw ak law thlang kqeng ing, “David capa venawh Hosanna! Bawipang ming ing ak law taw a zoseen seh!” “Sawsang soeih awh Honsanna!” tinawh khy uhy.
The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hoshia'na to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hoshia'na in the highest!”
10 Jerusalem khawk khui na Jesu a lut awh, khawk bau ce tyn nawh, “Ve ak thlang ve u nu ti?” ti uhy.
When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 Thlang kqeng ing, “Ve ak thlang taw Kalili qam Nazareth khaw awhkaw tawngha Jesu ni,” tina uhy.
The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Yeshua, from Nazareth of Galilee.”
12 Jesu ing bawkim khuina lut nawh bawkim khuiawh ik-oeih ak zawi ingkaw ak thlai thlangkhqi ce hqek hy. Tangka ak hlengkhqi a caboeikhqi awm khup phlet pek khqi hy.
Yeshua 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 A mingmih a venawh, “Ka im ve cykcahnaak im ni, ti kawm uh,” tinawh a qee hyt awm hlai hy, nangmih ingtaw quk-aikhqi awmnaak hyn na sai u hyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
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!”
14 Mikhypkhqi ingkaw khawkhemkhqi ce a venawh bawkim na law unawh, anih ing cekkhqi ce qoei sak khqi hy.
The lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15 Cehlai khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi ing kawpoek kyi ik-oeih a saikhqi ingkaw naasenkhqi ing bawkim a keng awh, “David capa venawh Hosanna,” tinawh amik khy ce ami huh awh amik kaw am law hy.
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, “Hoshia'na to the son of David!” they were indignant,
16 ”Naasenkhqi ing amik kqawn ce nak za nu?” tinawh Jesu ce doet uhy. Jesu ing, “Oeih, 'Naasenkhqi ingkaw naasenkhqi am kha awhkawng zoeksangnaak ce ta hawh hyk ti,' a tice am nami noet khawi nawh nu?” tinak khqi hy.
and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Yeshua said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”
17 A mingmih ce a cehtaak coengawh, Bethany khaw na cet nawh, cawh ce ip hy.
He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.
18 A khawngawi mymcang hqit awh khawk bau na ang hlat tlaih awh ak phoen cawi hy.
Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry.
19 Lam a keng awhkaw thai thing ce hu nawh, a hang ceh awh ahah doeng kaa taw ikaw awm am hu hy. Thai thing na ce, “Koeh qah qoe voel,” tina hy. Cawh thai thing ce khawng pahoei hy. (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 A hubatkhqi ing ami huh awh amik kawpoek kyi hy, “Ikawmyihna thai thing ak khawng paqap hy voei?” ti uhy.
When the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”
21 Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, ypvoetnaak a taak kaana cangnaak nami taak awhtaw, thai thing awhkaw sai na ak awm doeng ve am sai thai kawm uk tik saw, vawhkaw tlang a venawh awm, 'Cet nawh tuicunli na thoeih lah,' nami tinaak awhtaw thoeih kaw.
Yeshua 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.
22 Namik cangnaak awhtaw cykcahnaak ing nami thoeh ce hu kawm uk ti, “tinak khqi hy.
All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
23 Jesu ing bawkim khuina lut nawh thlang a cawngpyi huili awh, khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi a venawh law unawh doet uhy, “Hanakaw saithainaak ing vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ve na sai? Vawhkaw saithainaakkhqi ve u ing ani peek?,” tina uhy.
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 Jesu ing, “Awi pynoet ni doet khqi cang vang. Nami nim hlat awhtaw, hanakaw saithainaak ing vemyih ik-oeihkhqi ka sai tice nik kqawn pek khqi kawng.
Yeshua 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 Johan a Baptisma ce hana kaw nu ce? Hana kawng a law, khawk khan nakaw nu am awhtaw thlang a ven awhkawng nu?” tinak khqi hy. Cawh a mimah ingkaw a mimah ce doet qu unawh, “Khawk khan benna kaw niti naak man, 'cawhtaw kawtih amna mik cangnaak,' niti nak khqi kaw.
The immersion of Yochanan, 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 Thlang a ven awhkawng ni, niti bai man thlang nik kqih koek bai, thlang kqeng ing Johan ce tawngha ni a mi ti a dawngawh,” ti uhy.
But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold Yochanan as a prophet.”
27 Cedawngawh, “Am sim nyng,” tina uhy. Cawh Jesu ing, “Cawhtaw hana kaw saithainaak ing vemyih ik-oeihkhqi ka sai, tice ap kqawn hly lawt nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
They answered Yeshua, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 “Ikawmyihna nangmih ing namik poek? Cakpa pakhih ak ta ak thlang pynoet awm hy. A capa a hqam a venawh cet nawh, 'Ka capa, tuhngawi awh misur dum na cet nawh bibi lah,' tina hy.
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 Am cet tikawng,' tina hlai hy ahu na ak kaw hlat nawh cet tlaih hy.
He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
30 Cekcoengawh a pa ce a capa ak chang a venna cet bai nawh ce amyihna tina bai hy. Anih ingtaw, 'cet bit kawng,' tina hy, cehlai am cet hy.
He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go.
31 “Ce pakhih ak khuiawh u ing nu a pa ak kawngaih a sai?” tinak khqi hy. Cekkhqi ing, “Lamma awhkawng,” tina uhy. Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, mangmu ak cawikungkhqi ingkaw pum ak zawikhqi ing nangmih ve Khawsa qam khuina ni cehtaak khqi kaw ve.
Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Yeshua said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.
32 Ikawtih Johan ce nangmih dyngnaak lam ak huh na law hy, cehlai nangmih ing am cangna uhyk ti, mangmu ak cawikhqi ingkaw a pum ak zawikhqi ing cangna uhy. Ve ve hu hawh utik seiawm, am zut utik saw anih ce am cangna u hyk ti.
For Yochanan 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.
33 Nyhtahnaak awi ak chang pynoet ve ngai bai lah uh: Dum ak takung thlang pynoet awm nawh anih ing misur ce ling hy. Dum ce chung hqeet nawh, misur suinaak ce co nawh a qehnaak ipsang ce sa hy. Cekcoengawh loh phlo thlangkhqi ce dum awh bibi sak aham a ceei coengawh amah ce khawk hla na cet valh hy.
“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.
34 Misur qah bih tym a pha awh, misur qah ak bit aham a tyihzawih thlangkhqi ce dum qehkungkhqi venna tyi hy.
When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
35 Dum awh bi ak bikhqi ing cawhkaw tyihzawihkhqi ce tu unawh pynoet ce vyk uhy, pynoet ce him uhy, pynoet bai ce lung ing khaawng uhy.
The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36 Cawh dum ak takung ing lamma awhkawng lak awh tyihzawih ak chang khawzah ce tyi bai hy, cehlai dum awhkaw bi ak bikhqi ing ak cyk awhkaw amyihna sai tlaih bai hy.
Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.
37 A hukhit nataw cekkhqi venawh amah a capa ce tyi hy. 'Ka capa taw kqihchah na bit kawm uh,' tina poek hy.
But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
38 Cehlai cekkhqi ing, 'Vetaw qo ak pangkung ni ve. Law lah uh, him unawh a qo lawh pe usih,' ti uhy.
But the farmers, when they saw the son, said amongst themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’
39 Anih ce tu unawh ami him coengawh vawng ak kep na khaawng uhy.
So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.
40 Cedawngawh, misur dum ak takung ce law nawh, cawhkaw dum awh bi ak bikhqi ce ikawmyihna a sai kaw? tinak khqi hy.
When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
41 Cekkhqi ing, “Cawhkaw thlak thawlhkhqi ce ak tlo soeih na him kawmsaw, cawhkaw misur dum ce a qah tym a pha awh ak thaih ak pe hly thai kawi thlak chang a venawh ceei kaw,” tina uhy.
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 Jesu ing cekkhqi venawh: “Im ak sakungkhqi ing ami qoeng lung ce, a kil awhkaw ak khoeng soeih na awm hawh hy; ve ve Bawipa ing sai nawh, ningnih amik huh awh kawpoek kyi na awm hy, 'tinawh Awihciim awh ak awm ce am nami noet khawi nawh nu?'
Yeshua 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 marvellous in our eyes’?
43 Cedawngawh ka nik kqawn peek khqi, cemyih lawtna nangmih a ven awhkawng Khawsa qam ve lawh na awm kawmsaw ak thaih ak qah sakkungkhqi venawh pe kaw.
“Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.
44 Vawhkaw lung awh ak bahkhqi taw kqek kawm usaw, lung ing ang tluuk khqi ce a dik a huina neet kaw,' tinak khqi hy.
He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
45 Khawsoih boeikhqi ingkaw Farasikhqi ing Jesu a nyhtahnaak awi ce a ming zaak awh cekkhqi akawng ni ak kqawn hy tice sim uhy.
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
46 Anih a mim tunaak thai aham lam ce sui uhy, cehlai thlang kqeng ing anih ce tawngha ni, a mi ti a dawngawh thlang kqeng ce kqih uhy.
When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
