Matthew 21
1 As [we] approached Jerusalem, we came near Bethphage [village], near Olive [Tree] Hill. Jesus said to two [of his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead of us. As soon as you enter [it], you will see a donkey and her foal that are {someone has} tied [up]. Untie them and bring them [here] to me.
Evel ma tostaent ouzh Jeruzalem, ha ma voent e Betfage, tost da Venez an Olived, Jezuz a gasas daou eus e ziskibien,
o lavarout dezho: It d'ar vourc'h a zo dirazoc'h; kavout a reot kerkent un azenez stag hag un azen yaouank ganti; distagit int, ha degasit int din.
3 If anyone says anything to you [about your doing that], tell [him], ‘The Lord needs them.’ He will [then allow you to] lead them away.”
Mar lavar unan bennak un dra bennak deoc'h, respontit: An Aotrou en deus ezhomm anezho. Ha raktal o lezo da vont.
4 When all this happened, what was written by a prophet {what a prophet wrote about} was fulfilled {happened}. The prophet wrote, “Tell the people who live in Jerusalem [SYN], ‘Look! Your king is coming to you! He will come humbly. He [will show that he is humble, because he will be] riding on a colt, the offspring of a donkey.’”
Kement-se a c'hoarvezas evit ma vije peurc'hraet ar pezh a oa bet lavaret gant ar profed:
Lavarit da verc'h Sion: Setu, da roue a zeu da'z kavout, leun a zouster, ha pignet war un azen, war un azenig, ebeul un azenez.
6 So the [two] disciples went and did what Jesus told them to do.
An diskibien a yeas hag a reas ar pezh en devoa Jezuz gourc'hemennet dezho.
7 They brought the donkey and its colt [to Jesus]. They placed their cloaks on them [to make something for him to sit on]. Then Jesus [mounted the colt] and sat on the cloaks.
Degas a rejont an azenez hag an azenig da Jezuz, e lakajont o dilhad warno, hag e rejont dezhañ azezañ warno.
8 Then a large crowd spread [some of] their clothing on the road, and other [people] cut off branches from [palm] trees and spread them on the road. [They did those things to decorate the road in order to honor Jesus].
An darn vuiañ eus an dud a astennas o dilhad war an hent, ha re all a droc'he brankoù gwez, hag a c'holoas ganto an hent.
9 The crowds that walked in front of him and those who walked behind him were shouting things like, “Praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” “May the Lord [God] bless [this one] who comes as [God’s] representative and with [God’s] authority [MTY].” “Praise God, who is in the highest [heaven]!”
Ar re a valee a-raok, hag ar re a heulie Jezuz, a grie: Hozanna da Vab David! Benniget ra vo an hini a zeu en anv an Aotrou! Hozanna el lec'hioù uhel meurbet!
10 As Jesus entered Jerusalem, a crowd of people [MTY] from all [over the city] became excited and were saying, “Why [are they honoring] this man [like that]?”
Pa voe aet e Jeruzalem, holl gêr a voe mantret, hag e lavarent: Piv eo hemañ?
11 The crowd [that was already following him] said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee!”
Ar bobl a respontas: Jezuz eo, ar profed eus Nazared e Galilea.
12 Then Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard] and chased out all of those who were buying and selling things there. He also overturned the tables of those who were giving [Temple tax money in exchange for Roman] coins, and he overturned the seats of those who were selling pigeons [for sacrifices].
Jezuz, o vezañ aet e templ Doue, a gasas kuit an holl re a werzhe hag a brene en templ; hag e tiskaras taolioù an drokerien-arc'hant, ha kadorioù ar varc'hadourien goulmed.
13 Then he said to them, “It is {([Jeremiah/A prophet]) has} written [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called a place where [people] pray’, but you bandits have made it [MET] your hideout!”
Lavarout a reas dezho: Skrivet eo: Va zi a vo galvet un ti a bedenn. Met c'hwi hoc'h eus graet anezhañ ur c'havarn laeron.
14 After that, [many] blind [people] and lame [people] came to Jesus in the temple [in order that he would heal them], and he healed them.
Tud dall ha tud kamm a dostaas outañ en templ, hag o yac'haas.
15 The high priests and the men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws saw the wonderful deeds that Jesus did. [They also saw and] heard the children shouting in the Temple, “We praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” The religious leaders were indignant [because they did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah].
Met ar veleien vras hag ar skribed, droug enno o welout ar burzhudoù a rae ha bugale a grie en templ: Hozanna da Vab David,
16 [They thought that Jesus should not be allowing the children to say that], so they asked him, “[How can you tolerate] this [RHQ]? Do you hear what these [children] are shouting?” Then Jesus said to them, “Yes, I [hear them, but] if you [remembered what] you have read [in the Scriptures about children praising me, you would know that God is pleased] [RHQ] [with them]. [The psalmist] wrote, [saying to God], ‘You have taught infants and other children to praise you perfectly.’”
a lavaras dezhañ: Ha klevout a rez ar pezh a lavaront? Ya, a respontas Jezuz dezho, ha n'hoc'h eus biskoazh lennet ar c'homzoù-mañ: Tennet ec'h eus meuleudi eus genou ar vugale hag ar re a zo ouzh ar vronn?
17 Then Jesus left the city. We [disciples] went [with him] to Bethany [town], and we slept there [that night].
Hag, o vezañ o lezet, ez eas kuit eus kêr, evit mont da Vetania, e-lec'h ma tremenas an noz.
18 Early [the next morning], when we were returning to the city, [Jesus] was hungry.
Da vintin, evel ma tistroe e kêr, en devoe naon.
19 He saw a fig tree near the road. [So he went over to it to pick some figs to eat]. But when he got close, he saw that there were no [figs on the tree]. There were only leaves on it. So [to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel], he said to the fig tree, “May you never again produce figs!” As a result, the fig tree withered that night. (aiōn g165)
O welout ur wezenn-fiez war an hent, e tostaas outi; met ne gavas enni nemet delioù, hag e lavaras dezhi: Ra ne zeuio biken frouezh ac'hanout! Raktal, ar wezenn-fiez a sec'has. (aiōn g165)
20 [The next day] when we disciples saw [what had happened to the tree], we marveled, and we said [to Jesus], “(It is astonishing that the fig tree withered so quickly!/How is it that the fig tree dried up so quickly?)” [RHQ]
An diskibien a welas kement-se, hag a voe souezhet, o lavarout: Penaos eo deuet ar wezenn-fiez-se da vezañ sec'h raktal?
21 Jesus said to us, “Think about this: If you believe [that God has power to do what you ask him to] and you do not doubt [that], you will be able to do [things like what I have] done to this fig tree. You will even be able to do [marvelous deeds like] saying to a nearby hill, ‘Uproot yourself and throw yourself into the sea’, and it will happen!
Jezuz a respontas dezho: Me a lavar deoc'h e gwirionez, mar ho pije feiz ha ma ne ziskredjec'h ket, n'eo ket hepken ar pezh a zo bet graet d'ar wezenn-fiez e rajec'h, met pa lavarjec'h d'ar menez-se: Sav alese hag en em daol er mor, kement-se en em raje.
22 In addition [to that], whenever you ask [God for something] when you pray [to him, if you] believe [that he will give it to you], you will receive [it from him].”
Kement a c'houlennot gant feiz dre ar bedenn, a vo roet deoc'h.
23 After that, Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard]. While he was teaching [the people], the chief priests and the elders of the Jewish Council approached him. They asked, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do what you did [here yesterday] [DOU]?”
Jezuz a yeas en templ, hag e-pad ma kelenne, ar veleien vras hag henaourien ar bobl a zeuas da lavarout dezhañ: Dre beseurt galloud e rez an traoù-se, ha piv en deus roet dit ar galloud-se?
24 Jesus said to them, “I also will ask you a question, and if you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do these things.
Jezuz a respontas dezho: Me a c'houlenno ivez un dra ouzhoc'h, ha, mar respontit, e lavarin deoc'h dre beseurt galloud e ran an traoù-se.
25 Where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God or from people? [MTY/EUP]” The chief priests and elders debated among themselves [about what they should answer]. [They said to each other], “If we say, ‘[It was] [MTY/EUP] from God’, he will say to us, ‘Then (you should have believed his [message]!/why did you not believe [John’s message]?) [RHQ]’
Badeziant Yann, a-belec'h e teue? Eus an neñv, pe eus an dud? Int a soñje enno oc'h-unan, o lavarout: Mar lavaromp: Eus an neñv, e lavaro: Perak eta n'hoc'h eus ket kredet ennañ?
26 If we say, ‘It was from people’, we are afraid that the crowd [will react violently], because all [the people] believe that John was a prophet [sent by God].”
Ha mar lavaromp: Eus an dud, e tleomp doujañ ar bobl, rak an holl a gred e oa Yann ur profed.
27 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then he said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do the things I did [here yesterday].”
Neuze e respontjont da Jezuz: N'ouzomp ket. Hag eñ a lavaras dezho d'e dro: Ha me kennebeut, ne lavarin ket deoc'h dre beseurt galloud e ran an traoù-se.
28 [Then Jesus said to the chief priests and elders], “Tell me [RHQ] what you think [about what I am about to tell you]. There was a man who had two sons. He went to his older son and said, ‘My son, go and work in my vineyard today!’
Petra a soñjit? Un den en devoa daou vab; o vont etrezek an hini kentañ, e lavaras dezhañ: Va mab, kae hiziv da labourat em gwinieg.
29 But the son said [to his father], ‘I do not want to [go and work in your vineyard today]!’ But later he changed his mind, and he went to the vineyard [and worked].
Eñ a respontas: Ne din ket. Goude-se, e teuas keuz dezhañ, hag ez eas.
30 Then the father approached his younger son and said what he had said to his older son. That son said, ‘Sir, I will [go and work in the vineyard today.’] But he did not go there.
Dont a reas ivez etrezek egile, hag e lavaras dezhañ ar memes tra. Hag hemañ a respontas: Mont a ran, aotrou; met ne deas ket.
31 So which of the man’s two sons did what their father desired?” They answered, “The older son.” Jesus [explained to them what that parable meant] by saying, “Think about this: [It is more likely that other people, including] tax collectors and prostitutes, [whom you think are very sinful], will enter where God rules, than it is that you [Jewish leaders] will enter.
Pehini anezho o-daou en deus graet bolontez e dad? Int a lavaras dezhañ: An hini kentañ. Jezuz a lavaras dezho: Me a lavar deoc'h e gwirionez, penaos ar bublikaned hag ar merc'hed a vuhez fall ho tiaraogo e rouantelezh Doue.
32 I [say this to you] because, even though John [the Baptizer] explained to you how to live righteously, you did not believe his message. But tax collectors and prostitutes believed his [message, and they turned away from their sinful behavior]. In contrast, you, even though you saw what they did, refused to turn away from your sinful behavior, and you did not believe [John’s message].”
Rak Yann a zo deuet d'ho kavout dre hent ar reizhder, ha n'hoc'h eus ket kredet ennañ. Met ar bublikaned hag ar merc'hed a vuhez fall o deus kredet ennañ. Ha c'hwi, goude bezañ gwelet kement-se, n'hoc'h eus ket bet keuz evit krediñ ennañ.
33 “Listen to another parable [that I will tell you]. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He built a fence around it. He dug a hole in the ground [inside the fence]. He placed [in the hole] a stone tank to [collect the juice that would be] pressed out of the grapes. He also built a tower [inside that fence that someone would sit in to guard that vineyard]. He arranged for some men [to care for] the vineyard [and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went away to another country.
Selaouit ur barabolenn all. Bez' e oa un den penn-tiegezh hag a blantas ur winieg, a reas ur c'harzh en-dro dezhi, a gleuzias enni ur wask, hag a savas enni un tour; neuze e feurmas anezhi da winierien, hag ez eas en ur vro all.
34 When it was time to harvest the grapes, the landowner sent some of his servants to the men who were taking care of the vineyard to get his share of the grapes [that the vineyard had produced].
Da amzer ar frouezh e kasas e servijerien etrezek ar winierien, evit resev frouezh e winieg.
35 But the renters seized the servants. They beat one of them, they killed another one, and [killed] another one of them [by throwing] stones at him.
Met ar winierien, o vezañ kroget er servijerien, a gannas unan, a lazhas egile, hag a veinatas an trede.
36 [So the landowner] sent more servants than [he had sent] the first [time]. The renters treated those servants the same way that [they had treated the other servants].
Kas a reas adarre servijerien all, kalz muioc'h eget ar re gentañ, hag e rejont dezho ar memes tra.
37 Later, [knowing this], [the landowner] sent his son to [the renters to get his share of the grapes]. When he sent him, he said [to himself], ‘They will certainly respect my son [and give him some of the grapes].’
Da ziwezhañ, e kasas dezho e vab, o lavarout: Doujañ a raint va mab.
38 But when the renters saw his son [arriving], they said to each other, ‘This is the man who will inherit [this vineyard]! Let’s kill him and divide the property [among ourselves].’
Met ar winierien, pa weljont ar mab, a lavaras etrezo: Setu an heritour; deuit, lazhomp eñ, ha kemeromp e heritaj.
39 So they grabbed him, dragged him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
Hag o vezañ kroget ennañ, e taoljont anezhañ er-maez eus ar winieg, hag en lazhjont.
40 [Now I ask you], when the landowner returns to his vineyard, what [do you think] he will do to those renters?”
Bremañ, pa zeuio mestr ar winieg, petra a raio d'ar winierien-se?
41 [The chief priests and elders] replied, “He will thoroughly destroy those wicked [renters]! Then he will rent the vineyard to others. They will give him [his share of] the grapes when they are ripe.”
Respont a rejont dezhañ: Distrujañ a raio en un doare reuzeudik an dud drouk-se, hag e feurmo e winieg da winierien all a roio dezhañ he frouezh en o amzer.
42 Jesus said to them, “[That is right, so you need to think carefully about these words which] you have read [RHQ] in the Scriptures: The builders rejected a certain stone. [But others put] that same stone [in its proper place, and it] has become the most important stone [of the] building [MET]. The Lord has done this, and we marvel as we look at it.
Jezuz a lavaras dezho: Ha n'hoc'h eus biskoazh lennet er Skriturioù: Ar maen taolet kuit gant ar re a vañsone, a zo deuet da vezañ penn ar c'horn. Kement-se a zo bet graet gant an Aotrou, hag un dra marzhus eo d'hon daoulagad?
43 So, [because you reject me], I am going to tell you this: God will no longer let you [Jews] be the people over whom he rules. Instead, he will let [non-Jews] be the people over whom he rules, and they will do [IDM] what he asks them to do.
Setu perak e lavaran deoc'h, penaos rouantelezh Doue a vo lamet diganeoc'h, ha roet d'ur bobl a roio ar frouezh anezhi.
44 [The important stone in the building represents me, the Messiah, and those who reject me are like people who fall on this stone]. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken into pieces {This cornerstone will break into pieces anyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
An hini a gouezho war ar maen-se a vo brevet, ha flastret e vo an hini ma kouezho warnañ.
45 When the chief priests and the [elders who were] Pharisees heard this parable, they realized that he was accusing them [because they did not believe that he was the Messiah].
Goude bezañ klevet e barabolennoù, ar veleien vras hag ar farizianed a anavezas mat e oa anezho eo e komze Jezuz,
46 They wanted to seize him, but [they did not do so] because they were afraid of what the crowds [would do if they did that], because [the crowds] considered that Jesus was a prophet.
hag e klaskjont kregiñ ennañ, met aon o devoa rak ar bobl a gemere anezhañ evit ur profed.
