Matthew 21 (BGG)

1Isu nane ai samoythek ne Jerusalem moe shii wuii thog, ithek ne Bethphach ithua Sumarothek Phiing shii wuii thog. Thiichiih shii Isu è awai samoy nyi shii hì pha miyao rogAs they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,

2shii ibi hà thoh ge: Ithek è ibi hà um pha thiig hà wuii dun bo: “Chiih-è thiisa hà nasa è awai iduii rog phiing ne ruii iang pha bambao doh ruii phro. Ji sey srane gu hà noh ruii bo.saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt beside her. Untie them and bring them to Me.

3Chiih-è hanyie è nyie yao ruii arone, aishii yao bo, ‘Masdo è chiid muii ro’; chiih-è chiihphado ai è nasa shii bambao jithek jog phi ne thoh ge phro.”If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

4Hì thek rey ruii pha ne chaig miyao ji izai rey yi phro:This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

5“Jion rajan shii yao bo, Riig bo, nathek saja ne nathek shii wuiiramuii ro! Ai ne bajo jum rek ne bambao lakhung shii in ne wuiiramuii chiih-è bambaoduii pha bambao lakhung shii ro.”“Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”

6Ji-è, samoy de wuii dun, chiih-è, Isu è ithek shii khi-èrek bo è yao pha ji rek.So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.

7Ithek è bambao nane bambaoduii ji noh thog ruii. Ithek è awaithek yungthek gophi, Isu de ji pha lakhung shii in dun.They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.

8Boh bran ibrogthek è ai lumuii shii awaithek yung wiao phi, giak è hingmuii irab che ne wiao phi.A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

9Bran ibrog ne Isu ro ibi idoh shii luagieng, chiih-è, Isu idoh shii lua pho è jao ne ziak, “Dawid Saja pha Dufuii shii chiong bo! Hanyie yi Ithong ibeng è wuii pha ji shii ne Hamangkhung-aphuii è khirzey phi ro! Hamangkhung-aphuii shii chiong bo!”The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

10Isu è Jerusalem shii khud mage shii, ji pha rajan shii bajo pho ne sam diig ne sai. “Ai ne hanyie ga?” Branthek è sai.When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

11“Hì ne Galili pha Nazareth chaig Isu ji ro!” Bran ibrog è chang.The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

12Isu ne Misiahò hà wuii srane hanyie thek è thiichiih shii chongjai rekpho shii fuang gieng muii. Ai è bang giong pha thiibliiethek nane pharo chong rek pha murothek reng ne fen maphi.Then Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.

13Chiih-è ithek shii yao, “Hamangkhung-aphuii è yao pha jigigam shii zey ne um ro, ‘guro Misiahò ne misiasia pha hò ro.’ Jishii ithek è mugo pho ug pha ithua rab muii ro!”And He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

14Miegthi pho nane laikhi-èg pho è Misiahò hà ai moe shii wuii thog ruii. Ai è ithek shii gang phi.The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.

15Boh phabithek nane Iphey yua pha masdothek ne ai è wiengphleg pha bliathek nane aniphiing è Misiahò shii Dawid Saja Dufuii boh rone è yao ramuii pha ji doh ne bajo lijieg dun.But the chief priests and scribes were indignant when they saw the wonders He performed and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”

16Ji-è, ithek ne Isu shii sai, “Na de ithek è nyie yao ramuii pha ji yoi chak bey?” Isu è chang, “Gu de yoi chak ro.” “Nathek ne hì pha jigigam ji atham riig bey? Nathek ne aniphiing nane aniphiing shii wie è chiong pha yua jong.”“Do You hear what these children are saying?” they asked. “Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read: ‘From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise’?”

17Isu è ithek shii thoh marui ne Bethany rajan hà wuii thog ne ji pha habiu thiichiih men marui.Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.

18Jipha thimiang riang duiine shii Isu è rajan hà wuiiramuii shii, Isu ne chi-iy ruii.In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.

19Ai è iphem hingmuii jia lumuii moe shii um pha doh ne ji pha iphem hingmuii shii wuii dun, jimagunde ji shii nyie de oi pha irabthek um bie iang, ji-è, ai ne hingmuii ji shii yao, “Na ne khuchung de iwoi awoi sha phro!” Ji è yaodang pha ji shii ji pha iphem hingmuii ne gow dun.Seeing a fig tree by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. “May you never bear fruit again!” He said. And immediately the tree withered.

20Samoythek è ji doh mage ne zab wiengphleg dun. Ithek è sai, “Khi è rek ne ji pha iphem hingmuii ne ribjia gow dun phlei?”When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”

21Isu è chang, “Gu ne nathek yao, nathek ne migi now ne ìujia de athan arone, nathek de gu è hì pha iphem hingmuii shii rek pha duiine nyarek mua phro. Hì jia asi pha yi nathek ne hì pha phiing shii nyayao mua.” “Hùg ne khamuii hà chiih dun bo è yao ne de ji nyarey dun.“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.

22Nathek è migi now arone, nawaithek è sia ne nyie lia pha ji phi ruii phro.”If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

23Isu idoh Misiahò shii thog srane jao ne yao; chiih-è ai è yua pha duiine, boh phabithek nane dukhothek aishii wuii srane sai, “Na shii nyie rangsua um ne hìthek rek phlei? Na shii ne hìthek rek pha rangsua ne hanyie è phi lei?”When Jesus returned to the temple courts and began to teach, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to Him. “By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You this authority?”

24Isu è ithek shii chang, “Gu de nathek shii musai jia sai phro, nathek è gu musai ji chang phi arone, Gu de nathek shii hìthek rek pha rangsua ne khi è mua pha ji yao phi phro.“I will also ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

25Jon è khowo phi pha rangsua ne khi è thog phlei? Ji ne Hamangkhung-aphuii re-è phi nebey asi pha yi tharothamang re-è phi ne bey?” Ithek ne awaithek chung jao ne khiinaing rai, gethek ne khi è yao sha pha lei? Gethek è Hamangkhung-aphuii re-è phi rone chang arone, ai ne gethek shii yao ruii phro, “Ji arone, nathek ne Jon shii nyie rek ne migi anow ga?What was the source of John’s baptism? Was it from heaven or from men?” They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

26Jimagunde, gethek ne tharothamang re-è phi rone yao arone, branthek è gethek shii nyie rek pha ji rum muii ro, nyieliieshii, branthek ne Jon ne chaig rone thieg noh dun ro.”But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”

27Ji-è, ithek è Isu shii chang, “Gathek ne athieg ro!” Chiih-è ai de ithek shii yao, “Gu de nathek shii hìthek rek pha rangsua khi-è mua pha ji ayao phi.”So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

28Thuh, shii nathek ne nyie now ga? Luangjia shii bran jia shii dufuii nyi um. Aphuii è Dufuii chai shii wuii srane yao, gu Dufuii! Sudoh inai na raig hà wuii srane blia rek mage bo.But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first one and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’

29Dufuii chai ji è chang, “Gu ne arek yang ro! Jishii, idoh awai lubu lai ne raig rek pha wuii dun.‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.

30Chiihphado, aphuii ji-è, dufuii jia shii wuii srane ji è rek ne yao, dufuii jiè chang, ‘Oh, Masdo’ rone chang jishii ai ne raig rek pha awuii.Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.

31Isa nyi hanyie è awai aphuii è yang pha ji rek phi lei?” Ithek è chang, “Dufuii chai,” ji è rek phi ro. Ji-è, Isu ithek shii yao, gu ne nathek shii yao: mijin thanpho nane siulao rek pho ne Hamangkhung-aphuii pha Sajathua shii nathek ibi dun ruii phro.Which of the two did the will of his father?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.

32Jon khowo phi pha ji è nathek shii lumuii izai ji yao habuii shii nathek è aishii migi anow phi; Jishii, mijin thanphothek nane siulao pho è aishii migi now dun. Nathek hì doh pha rangde nawaithek khani lai ne aishii migi anow ro.For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.

33Isu è yao, “Gai najang de nuii mage bo.” Luangjia shii sohmuspho è awai raig shii angurgmuiithek hai ne muthua gun srane angur phuii rey yi pha angur chui pha icho jia jog, chiih-è, ji khan pha haliig jia rung. Chiih-è, ai è raig rekpho shii chei marui ne thoh ne awai lumuii hà luadun.Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a tower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.

34Angur ji khrab pha ishak thog ruii shii, ai è awai khiaothek shii raigkhan pho shii awai chiang yie pha thoh ge.When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.

35Yamiing khanpho è ai khiaothek shii zum srane giak shii ne zuang muii, jia shii ua muii, jia shii lubao chao maphi.But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.

36Jipha idoh è bran è gai khiaothek ibi è de bajo khiao shii thoh ge, jithek shii de raig khan pho è ibi pho thek duiine rek phi.Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.

37Idohhè awai dufuii shii ithek hà thoh ge. Ai è yao, Zai ithek ne guro dufuii shii ne ilab rek.Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

38Jishii, raig cheipho è dufuii shii doh mage shii, ithek ne awaithek chung yao rai, hì ne muspho ro dufuii ji ro. Thawuii bo, cho gethek ne aishii ua muii haro, chiih-è airo nuruii ne gethek mua ruii phro!But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take his inheritance.’

39Ji-è, ithek ne aishii zum srane raig ji è fuang fen muii ne chiih-è ua maphi.So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

40Isu è ithek shii sai, “Jipha raig muspho thog ruii shii, ji pha muspho è jithek pha raig cheipho shii nyie rek ruii phlei?”Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”

41Ithek è Isu shii chang, “Jipha muspho è ithek shii ua mua ne ji pha angur raig ne fuang pha raigkhanpho shii phi muii phro, ji ne ishak thog shii gui mathang khriig phi pha gai raigkhan pho so ne khan yi phro.”“He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his share of the fruit at harvest time.”

42Isu è ithek shii yao, Nathek ne jigigam shii nyie yao pha ji atham bey? Rungpho è lubao shii Adunmey rone snai muii pha ji ne zab è de bajo miigak lubao rey dun ro. Hì ne Ithong è rek phi ro; Hì ne khama khie doh pha blia ro!Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

43Isu è yao din, “Ji-è, gune nathek shii yao phro,” “Hamangkhung-aphuii ro Sajathua ne nathek è riao srane hanyie bran è iwoithek wie woi pha ji shii phi muii phro.”Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.

44Hanyie è ji pha lubao lakhung shii chiih arone, ji pha lubao è aishii ne dum dum khiia thiak dun phro; chiih-è, hanyie lakhung shii ji pha lubao chiih ruii nede, ji pha bran ne lubao ji è doh ne nyiak phlab rey dun phro.He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

45Boh phabithek nane Pharisithek ne Isu è najangthek yao pha ji ne ithek chiang yao phrone thieg dun.When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.

46Ji-è, ithek ne Isu shii zum pha rek, Jishii, Isu ne chaig rone now pha bran ibrog um pha ji shii rum dun.Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
