< Mark 11 >

1 When they came near to Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany [villages] near Olive [Tree] Hill. Then Jesus [summoned] two of his disciples.
Jerusalem ce pha law tawm unawh Bethphage ingkaw Bethani khaw awhkaw Olive tlang ce ami pha law awh, a hubat thlang pakhih ce haina tyi nawh,
2 He said to them, “Go to that village just ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey that no one has ever ridden, that has been tied {people have tied} up. Untie it, and then bring it [to me].
ani venawh, “Nani haai awhkaw khaw ak awmna cet nih nawh khawk khuina nani lut awh, u ingawm a mang ngawihnaak hlan, laa ca amik pai ce hu kawm nik ti. Suut nih nawh sawi law nih.
3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing that?’, say, [‘Jesus], our Lord, needs [to use] it. He will send it back here [with someone] as soon as [he no longer needs it].’”
U ingawm, 'Ikaw hamna nani sai?' a ti awhtaw, 'Bawipa ing ngoe hy, thak law sak tlaih bit kaw,' tina nih,” tina qawi hy.
4 So [the two disciples] went and they found the young donkey. It was tied close to the door [of a house], which was beside the street. Then they untied it.
Cekkqawi ce cet nih nawh vawng chawmkeng a venna, laa ca amik pai ce hu hy nih. Laa ca ce a ni hlan awh,
5 Some of the [people who were there] said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
cawhkaw ak dyikhqi ing, “ikaw hamna laa ce nani hlam?” tina uhy.
6 They told them what Jesus had said. So the people permitted them [to take the donkey].
Jesu ing a yn amyihna kqawn pe nih nawh cekkhqi ing ceh sak uhy.
7 They brought the donkey to Jesus. [The disciples] put some of their clothes on it [in order to make something for him to sit on].
Laa ca ce Jesu venna sawi hy nih, cawh hikhqi ce laa ca ak khan awh phaih unawh, ak khanawh ngawi hy.
8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him as a king]. Others, [in order to honor him], spread along the road branches that they cut from [palm trees] in the fields [beside the road].
Thlangkhqi ing hi ce lam awh phaih pe uhy, thlang vang ing thingbupkhqi ce chawm unawh lam awh phaih pe uhy.
9 The people who were going in front of him and behind him were all shouting [things like], “Praise God!” “May God bless this one who comes (with his authority/as his representative) [MTY].”
Haina ak cetkhqi ingkaw hu benna ak lawkhqi ing, “Hosanna!” “Bawipang ming ing ak law taw a zoseen seh!”
10 “May you be blessed {May [God] bless you} when you rule [like] our ancestor [King] David ruled!” “Praise God who is in the highest heaven!”
“Ak law hly kawi ni pa David a qam taw zoeksang na awm seh!” “Sawsang soeih awh Hosanna!” tinawh khy uhy.
11 He entered Jerusalem [with them], and then he went into the Temple [courtyard]. After he looked around at everything [there], he left [the city] because it was already late [in the afternoon]. He returned to Bethany with the twelve [disciples and slept there].
Jerusalem khawk khuina Jesu taw cet nawh bawkim ak khuina lut hy. Ik-oeihkhqi ce toek nawh khaw a my hawh a dawngawh, thlanghqa hlaihih tloek mi Bathani khaw na cet tlaih uhy.
12 The next day, as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
A khawngawi awh Bathani khaw awhkawng ami law tlaih awh, Jesu taw ak phoen cawi hy.
13 He saw from a distance a fig tree with all its leaves, so he went [to it] to see if he could find any [figs] on it. But when he came to it, he found only leaves on it. This was because it was not yet time when [normal fig trees have ripe] figs.
Ak hla nakawng a hah hqoeng na ak awm thai thing ce hu hy, ak thaih ak awm hy voei nu tinawh a kung na pan hy. Cehlai a pha awh, thai a qahnaak tym na ama awm dawngawh a hah hqoeng ce hu hy.
14 [But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
Cawh thai thing na ce, “Itykawm nak thaih ve u ingawm koeh ai voel seh,” tina hy. Ce ak awi ce a hubatkhqi ingawm za lawt uhy. (aiōn g165)
15 Jesus and his disciples went [back] to Jerusalem. He entered the Temple [courtyard. He saw people] who were selling and buying [animals for sacrifices. They were spoiling the place of worship]. He chased those people [from the Temple courtyard.] He also overturned the tables of those who were giving Temple tax money in exchange for Roman coins. He overturned the seats of the men who were selling doves [for sacrifices],
Jerusalem ami pha awh Jesu ing bawkim khuina lut nawh ik-oeih ak zawikhqi ingkaw ak thlaikhqi ce hqek khqi hy. Tangka ak thungkhqi a caboeikhqi ce khuphlet pe nawh kqukqu ak zawikhqi ang ngawihnaak khqi awm khuphlet pek khqi hy.
16 and he would not allow anyone who was carrying anything [to sell] to go through the Temple [area].
Ik-oeihkhqi ce bawkim khui awhkawng am khyn sak khqi hy.
17 Then as he taught those people, he said to them, “It is written {[One of the prophets] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called {[people] to call my house} a house where [people from] all nations may pray’, but you bandits have made it [like] a cave where you can hide! ([You know that!/Do you not know that]?) [RHQ]”
Ami venawh: 'Ka im ve pilnam thlangkhqi a cykcahnaak im na awm kaw,' tinawh qeena am awm nawh nu? Nangmih ingtaw quk-aikhqi ak khui ak kawk' na nami sai,” tinak khqi hy.
18 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws [later] heard [about what he had done]. So they planned how they might kill him, [but they knew that it would be difficult], because they realized that the crowd was amazed at what he was teaching and they feared [that the people would soon decide that Jesus had more authority over the Temple than they did] (OR, [feared what the people would do if they tried to arrest Jesus]).
Khawsawih boeikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi ing ce akawng aming zaak awh amah ami himnaak thai ham lam ce sui uhy, anih a cawngpyinaak awh thlang kqeng ak kawpoek a kyi a dawngawh, anih ce kqih uhy.
19 That evening, [Jesus and his disciples] left the city [and again slept in Bethany].
Khaw a my law awhtaw khawk bau ce cehta uhy.
20 [The next] morning, while they were going along [the road toward Jerusalem, they saw that the fig tree that Jesus had cursed] had withered completely.
A khawngawi mymcang ami ceh tlaih awhtaw, thai thing ak kqa dyna a koh ce hu uhy.
21 Peter remembered [what Jesus had said to the fig tree] and he exclaimed to Jesus, “Teacher, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!”
Piter ing poek hqoet nawh Jesu a venawh, “Cawngpyikung, toek lah! thai thing nang ing na zyih ce thi hawh hy ce!” tina hy.
22 Jesus replied, “[You should not be surprised that God did what I asked]! You must trust that God [will do whatever you ask him to do]!
Jesu ing, “Khawsa awh ce cangnaak ta lah uh.
23 [Also] note this: If anyone says to this hill, ‘Be raised up {Rise up} and then be thrown {throw yourself} into the lake!’ and if he does not doubt [that what he asks for will happen], that is, if he believes that what he asks for will happen, [God] will do it for him.
Awitak ka nik kqawn peek khqi, u ingawm vawhkaw tlang na ce 'Thoeih nawh tuili na khawng qu lah' tinawh upvoetnaak taak kaana ak kqawn ce coeng ngai ngai kaw, tinawh ak cangnaak awhtaw, a ti amyihna awm pekaw.
24 So I tell you, whenever you ask [God] for something when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and, [if you do, God] will do it [for you].
Cedawngawh ka nik kqawn peek khqi, nangmih ing cykcahnaak ing ik-oeih nami thoeh awh hu hawh nyng tinawh cangna uh, cawhtaw hu kawm uk ti.
25 Now, I [tell you this also]: Whenever you are praying, if you have a grudge against people [because they have harmed you], forgive them, in order that your Father in heaven will [likewise] forgive your sins.”
Cykcah aham naming dyih awh nak khan awh ik-oeih ak sai thawlh a awm awhtaw qeen lamma cang uh, cawh ni khawk khan nakaw ak awm nangmih a Pa ing nangmih a thawlhnaakkhqi a nim qeen hly khqi lawt.
Cehlai am namim qeen awhtaw khawk khan nakaw ak awm nami Pa ingawm nangmih a thawlhnaakkhqi ce am nim qeenkhqi lawt kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
27 Jesus and his disciples arrived in the Temple [courtyard] in Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking [there, a group consisting of] chief priests, [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and elders came to him and they said to him,
Jerusalem pha law unawh, Jesu ing bawkim khuina a ceh awh, khawsoeih boeikhqi, anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi ce a venna law uhy.
28 “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like those you did here yesterday]?”
“Hanakaw saithainaak ing vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ve na sai? U ing vemyih ik-oeihkhqi ve a ni sai sak?” tinawh doet uhy.
29 Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do those things.
Jesu ing, “Awi pynoet awh ni doet khqi cang vang. Nim hlat lah uh, cawh ni hanakaw saithainaak ing kai ing vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ka sai, tice kak kqawn hly lawt hy.
30 Did God [MTY] or people [authorize] John to baptize [those who came to him]?”
Johan a Baptisma ve - khan benna kaw nu, am awhtaw thlanghqing benna kaw nu? Kqawn law lah uh!” tinak khqi hy.
31 They debated among themselves [as to what they should answer]. They [said to each other], “If we say that it was God [who authorized] him, he will say to us, ‘Therefore, (you should have believed what John said!/why did you not believe what John said?) [RHQ]’
Cawh a mimah ingkaw a mimah ce doet qu uhy,” Khan benna kaw ni tinaak mantaw, 'Cawhtaw kawtih amna mik cangnaak? niti nak khqi kawh.
32 On the other hand, if we say that it was people [who authorized John, then what will happen to us]?” They were afraid [to say that about where John got his authority, because they knew that] the people [would be very angry with them. They knew that] all the people truly believed that John was a prophet [whom God had sent].
'Thlanghqing benna kaw ni,' ni tinaak bai mantaw,” ti uhy. Cehlai thlang kqeng ce kqih khqi bai uhy, thlang boeih ing Johan taw tawngha ni, ami ti a dawngawh.
33 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question, I] will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
Cedawngawh Jesu a venawh ce, “Am sim unyng,” tina uhy. Cawh Jesu ing, “Cawhtaw hanakaw saithainaak ing kai ing vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ka sai, tice ap kqawn lawt kawng,” tinak khqi hy.
