Matthew 21 (MNI)

1Adudagi Jisu amadi mahakki tung-inbasingna Jerusalem naksillaklabada, makhoina chorphon chingda leiba Bethphage khunda laklammi. Aduga Ibungona tung-inbasinggi maraktagi makhoi anibu mangjounana tharaduna,As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,

2makhoida hairak-i, “Nakhoigi mangda leiriba khun aduda chatlu, aduga nakhoina maduda hek changbaga lola mapi-macha punduna leiba nakhoina thengnagani. Makhoibu thouri thoktuna eigi nakta purak-u.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.

3Aduga kanagumbana nakhoina touribadu karino haina hanglaklabadi, nakhoina mangonda Ibungona masi mathou tai haina haiyu; aduga khudakta nakhoina makhoibu puba mahakna yabirakkani.”If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

4Masi pumnamaksing asi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichouna haikhiba wa adu thungnanabani.This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

5“Haiyu, nakhoina Zion-gi misingda, Yeng-u, nakhoigi ningthouna nakhoida lengbirakli! Ibungodi nolluk-i amasung tong-i lola amada, tong-i lola macha amagi mathakta.”“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.’”

6Adudagi tung-inba ani aduna chatkhiduna Jisuna makhoida yathang pikhibasing adu toure.So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.

7Makhoina lola mapi-machadu Jisugi manakta puraktuna madugi mathakta makhoigi phising thare aduga Ibungona madugi mathakta tongle.They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.

8Amasung mi mayam amana makhoigi phi tingthoktuna lambida thajarammi aduga ateisingna upal-singdagi mana panba anouba masasing kaktuna lambida thajarammi.A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

9Aduga Ibungogi mangda amadi tung induna chatliba miyam aduna laorak-i, “Hosanna! David-ki Machanupada! MAPU IBUNGO-gi mingda lengbirakliba Mahak yaiphabani! Hosanna haina wangthoiraba swargada laosanu!”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!”

10Jisuna Jerusalem changlakpada sahar apumba mathum marang houraduna makhoina hanglak-i, “Mahak asi kanano?”When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

11Maduda miyam aduna khumlak-i, “Mahak Galilee-gi Nazareth-tagi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa Jisuni.”The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

12Adudagi Jisuna Mapugi Sanglenda changduna Sanglen manungda iratpotki sa yolliba amadi leiriba makhoi pumnamakpu tanthokle amasung Ibungona sel kaithok kaisin touribasinggi table amadi khunu yollibasinggi phampham mathak makha onthokle.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.

13Aduga Ibungona makhoida hairak-i, “Mapugi puyada masi iduna lei, ‘Eigi yumdi haijanabagi yum kougani,’ adubu nakhoina masibu huranbasinggi makon oihalle!”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.’”

14Aduga mamit tangbasing amadi makhong tekpasingna Jisugi nakta Mapugi Sanglenda lakcharammi amasung Ibungona makhoibu phahanbirammi.The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.

15Adubu athoiba purohitsing amasung Wayel Yathanggi ojasingna Ibungona toukhiba angakpa thabaksing adu ubada amasung Mapugi Sanglenda “Hosanna, David-ki Machanupa” haina angangsingna laobadu tabada saoraduna,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!”

16Ibungoda hairak-i, “Angangsingna hairiba asi nahak tadabra?” Maduda Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Hoi, ei tai. Nakhoina, ‘Angangsing amadi khomlang chinglibasinggi chindagi nahakpu thagatnanaba nahakna makhoibu mapung phahanbire haiba Tengban Mapugi wa adu padabra?’ ”“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’?”

17Adudagi Jisuna makhoibu thadoktuna sahar adudagi Bethany khunda chatlammi. Aduga mahakna mapham aduda ahing leklammi.Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.

18Mathang numitki ayuk anganbada, Jisuna Jerusalem saharda halakpagi lambida chak lamlaklammi.In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.

19Aduga Ibungona lambi mapanda heiyit pambi ama houba ubada pambidugi manakta changlammi adubu manakhak nattana mahei amata panba thengnaramde. Maduda Ibungona heiyit pambi aduda hairak-i, “Matam pumnamakta nahak mahei pandaba oirasanu!” Aduga khudak aduda heiyit pambi adu kangsillaklammi.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.

20Madu ubada Ibungogi tung-inbasing aduna ingak ngakladuna hairak-i, “Karamna heiyit pambi asina asuk thuna khangsillaklibano?”When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”

21Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Eina nakhoida tasengnamak hairibasini, karigumba nakhoida thajaba leiraba aduga chingnadrabadi, heiyit pambi asida toukhiba asigumna nakhoina touba ngamba khakta nattaduna nakhoina chingjao asidasu ‘Nasa nathanta phuktuna pat asida langthajou,’ haibada madu oigani.“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.

22Nakhoida thajaba leirabadi nakhoina haija-nijaba matamda nijaba khudingmak nakhoina phangjagani.”If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

23Adudagi Jisuna Mapugi Sanglenda changduna tambiringeida athoiba purohitsing amasung ahal-lamansingna Ibungogi nakta laktuna hairak-i, “Nahakki karamba matik leiduna asigumba thabaksing asi touribano? Aduga kanana matik asi nangonda pibage?”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?”

24Jisuna makhoida khumlak-i, “Eisu nakhoida wahang ama hangge, nakhoina madugi paokhum eingonda piragadi eigi karamba itik leiduna asigumba thabaksing asi touribano haibadu eina nakhoida haige.“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.

25John-da leiriba baptize tounabagi matik adu swargadagira nattraga misingdagira?” Makhoina kari khumgadage haibadu makhoi masen khannarammi. “Eikhoina swargadagini haina khumlagadi, mahakna haigani, ‘Adu oirabadi nakhoina John-bu karigi thajadribano?’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?’

26Aduga amaromda eikhoina madu ‘Misingdagini hairagasu,’ eikhoina misingbu ki maramdi mi pumnamakna John-bu Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou amani haina lou-i.”But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”

27Maram aduna makhoina Jisuda khumlak-i, “Eikhoi khangde.” Maduda Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Adu oirabadi, eigi karamba itik leiduna asigumba thabaksing asi touribano haibadu einasu nakhoida hairaroi.”So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

28“Adubu masigi maramda nakhoina kari khanbage? Nupa amagi machanupa ani leirammi. Aduga mahakna machanupa ahan-gi nakta laktuna hairammi, ‘Ichanupa, ngasidi eigi anggur ingkholda chattuna thabak suru.’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.’

29Maduda machanupa aduna khumlak-i, ‘Ei chatloi,’ adubu mameithangdadi mahak pukning honglaktuna chatkhirammi.‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.

30Adudagi mapa aduna anisuba machanupa adugi nakta laklaga matou adugumduna mangondasu haire. Maduda machanupa aduna khumlak-i, ‘Hoi chatchage, paba,’ adubu mahakna chatkhide.Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.

31Makhoi ani asigi maraktagi karambana mapagi aningba adu toukhibage?” Makhoina khumlak-i, “Machanupa ahal aduna toukhi.” Adudagi Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Eina nakhoida hairibasini, kanggat khombasing amasung oktabisingna nakhoidagi hanna Tengban Mapugi leibakta changani.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.

32Maramdi baptize touba John-na achumba lambi adubu nakhoida utpiba lakkhi, adubu nakhoina mahakpu thajakhide; adubu kanggat khombasing amasung oktabisingnadi mahakpu thajakhi. Aduga nakhoina masi uraba matungda phaoba nakhoina pukning hongduna mahakpu thajade.”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.

33Adudagi Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Atoppa pandam amasu tao,” “Kanagumba anggur ingkhol koiba ingkhol mapu ama leirammi. Mahakna ingkholdugi akoibada sambal khare, aduga anggur mahi sumpham ama toure, amasung ingkhol ngaknaba awangba loutangsang amasu sare. Madudagi mahakna anggur ingkhol adu ingkhol pannabasingda sandoklamlaga atoppa lam amada chatkhre.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.

34Amasung mahei lokpagi matam laklabada mahakna mahakki manaisingbu ingkhol koibasing adudagi mahakki phangpham thokpa saruk lourunaba thare.When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.

35Adubu ingkhol koibasing aduna mahakki manaising adubu phaduna, amabuna phubire, atoppa amana hatle, aduga atoppa amabuna nungna thare.But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.

36Adudagi mahakna ahanba adudagi henna yamba atoppa manaising amuk thare. Adubu makhoising adubusu makhoina hannagi adugumna chap manana toukhi.Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.

37Ikon-konbada ingkhol mapu aduna mahakki machanupabudi ikai khumnabigani khalladuna mahakna machanupabu thare.Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

38Adubu ingkhol koibasing aduna machanupa adubu ubada makhoi masen-gi marakta asumna hainarammi, ‘Mahak asi yumlep charani, lak-o, eikhoina mahakpu hatlasi, aduga eikhoina mahakki lanthum asi lourasi.’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.’

39Aduga makhoina mahakpu pharaga anggur ingkholgi mapanda chingthoktuna hatle.So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

40“Houjik, anggur ingkholgi mapu aduna lakpa matamda, makhoising adugi mathakta mahakna kari tougani haina nakhoina khanbage?”Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”

41Maduda makhoina khumlak-i, “Mahakna phattaba makhoising adubu tamthina hatkani aduga anggur ingkhol adubu lourok matam khudinggi mahakki saruk adu pirakkadaba ingkhol koibasingda pithokkani.”“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.”

42Adudagi Jisuna makhoida hairak-i, “Nakhoina Mapugi puyada masi pakhidabra? ‘Yumsabasingna kanadre haiduna hundoklaba nung adu, Oirakle khwaidagi maruoiba chithekki nung. MAPU IBUNGO-na masi toubire, Eikhoigi mityengda masi kayada angakpano!’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’?

43“Maram aduna eina nakhoida hairi, Tengban Mapugi leibak adu nakhoidagi louthokkani aduga mahei ningthina puthokkadaba phurup amada madu pigani.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.

44Aduga nung asigi mathakta tuba mahak adu machet machet tana kaigani aduga nung asina mathakta taba mahakpu uphulgumna toigani.”He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

45Athoiba purohitsing amadi Pharisee-sing aduna Ibungogi pandamsing adu tabada, Ibungona makhoigi maramda nganglibani haiba khanglammi.When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.

46Maram aduna makhoina Ibungobu phananaba lambi ama thirammi. Adubu misingna Jisubu Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou amani haina louba maramna makhoina miyam adubu kirammi.Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
