Matthew 21 (RUP)

1Cãndu lji s-apruchearã a Ierusalemului shi agiumsirã tu Betfagã, aproapi di Muntili a Masnjilor, Isusul pitricu doi ucenitsi,As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,

2dzãcãnda a lor: “Imnats tu hoara tsi easti nãintea a voastrã, sh-atsia va aflats unã gumarã ligatã sh-gumãriclu cu nãsã. Dizligats-lji sh-adutsets-lji la mini!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.

3Sh-macã vãrã vã dsãtsi tsiva, dzãtsets-lji cã, ‘Domnul ari ananghi trã nãshi,’ sh-atsel va li sãlãgheascã trãoarã.”If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

4Tora aestã s-featsi tra si mplineascã tsi eara dzãsã di la prufitlu:This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

5“Dzãtsets-lji a hiljiljei a Sionului: ‘Ia, ma ts-yini amirãlu a tãu, inimã-moali, acãlcat pri unã gumarã, njicã ca un gumãric, fãtat di un pravdã ti ngãrcari.’”“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.’”

6Ucenjitsilji s-dusirã sh-featsirã ashã cum lji avea ursit Isusul.So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.

7Adusirã gumara sh-gumãriclu, ashtirnarã pri nãsi mantelili a lor sh-Isusul s-alinã.They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.

8Sh-unã multsãmi multu mar ashtirna mantelili a lor pri cali, iarã altsãlji frãndzea dedzi di ponji sh-li ashtirna pri cali.A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

9Multsãnjili tsi yinea nãinti sh-atseali tsi lu urma, aurla, dzãcãnda: “Hosanna, a Hiljilui al David! Ghinicuvãntat s-hibã atsel tsi yini tu numa a Domnului! Hosanna tu locurili multi analti!”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!”

10Cãndu intrã Isusul tu Ierusalem, tutã cãsãbãlu si sculã pri cicioari, sh-dzãsi: “Cai easti aestu?”When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

11Shi multseãmea apãndisi: “Aestu easti Isusul, prufitul di Nazaretul a Galileiljei.”The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

12Deapoea Isusul intrã tu templu sh-lji aĝuni tuts atselji tsi vindea sh-acumpãra tu templu sh-arustunã measili a alãxitorilor di pãradz shi scamnili a vinditorilor a purunghilor.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.

13Sh-lã dzãsi a lor: “Easti scriatã: ‘Casa a mea va s-acljemã casã di pãrãcãlsiri,’ ma voi u avets turnatã ca un pishtireauã di furi.”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.’”

14Atumtsea vinirã la nãsu tu templu orghi shi shcljiochi sh-Isusul lji vindicã.The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.

15Ma mãrilji a preftsãlor shi scriblji s-nãrãirã cãndu vidzurã thavmatili tsi elu avea faptã shi cilimenjilji tsi dzãtsea cu harauã tu templu: “Hosanna a Hiljilui al David!”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!”

16Sh-lji dzãsirã: “Ma avdzã tini tsi dzãc aeshti?” Isusul lã dzãsi a lor: “Ie! Nu avets cãntatã pute: ‘Dit gura a njitsilor sh-a bebilor tini ai adratã alãvdari’?”“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’?”

17Sh-dupã tsi lji alãsã atselji, ishi di cãsãbã cãtrã Betania, sh-aclo tricu noaptea.Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.

18Dimineatsa curund, cãndu ma s-turna tu cãsãbã, lu lo foama.In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.

19Pri cali vidzu un hic sh-lji si-apruche, ma nu aflã tsiva, dicãt mash frãndzili sh-dzãsi: “S-nu s-leagã frut pute la tini di totãna!” Sh-hiclu s-uscã trãoarã.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.

20Sh-cãndu vidzurã aestã ucenitslji s-ciudisirã sh-dzãsirã: “Cum s-uscã hiclu trãoarã!”When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”

21Sh-Isusul apãndisi: “Dealihea vã dzãc, ma s-avets pisti shi s-nu ndoits, va s-fãtsets nu mash atsea tsi mini lji-feciu a hiclui, ma sh-canda s-lji dzãtsets aishtui munti: ‘Scoal-ti di aclo sh-arucã-ti tu amari’, aestã va si s-facã.“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.

22Sh-itsido tsi cãftats tu pãrãcãlsiri, pistipsinda, va u-loats.”If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

23Cãndu intrã tu templu, mãrilji a preftsãlor sh-aushilji a popului lji s-apruchearã candu ma lji nvitsa, sh-lu ntribarã: “Cu tsi autoritati li fatsi tini aesti lucri? Sh-cai ts-ari datã aestã autoritati?”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?”

24Sh-Isusul apãndisi: “Sh-mini va vã fac unã ntribari, sh-macã voi va nj-apãndisits, mini tutashã va vã dzãc, cã cu tsi autoritati li fac tuti aesti lucri.“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.

25Pitedzlu a Ioanului di iu vini? Di la tser icã di la oaminjilji?” Sh-elji minduea namisa di nãshi, dzãcãnda: “Ma s-lji dzãtsem di la tser, elu va nã dzãcã: ‘Cãtse atumtsea nu lji pistipsit?’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?’

26Macã va lj-dzãtsem, ‘di la oaminjilji,’ avem fricã di multsãmea, cã tuts lu acljeam Ioanul prufit.”But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”

27Sh-lji-apãndisirã a Isusului, dzãcãnda: “Nu shtim.” Atumtsea elu lã dzãsi a lor: “Nitsi mini nu va vã dzãc cã cu tsi autoritati li fac aesti lucri.”So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

28“Tsi minduits? Un om avea doi hilji sh-cum s-dusi cãtrã protlu, lji dzãsi: ‘Hilje, duti azã s-lucredzi tu ayinji!’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.’

29Elu apãndisi: ‘Nu voi,’ ma, ma nãpoi s-mitãnjusi shi s-dusi.‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.

30Deapoea tatãl s-turnã cãtrã a doilu shi lj-dzãsi sh-a lui unã soi. Sh-elu lj-apãndisi sh-dzãsi: ‘Ie, doamne,’ ma nu s-dusi.Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.

31Cai di dolji lu featsi vrearea a tatãlui?” Elji lj-dzãsirã: “Protlu.” Isusul lã dzãsi a lor: “Dealihea vã dzãc cã taxidarilji sh-putanili va intrã nãinti di voi tu amirãriljea a tserurilor.”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.

32Cã Ioanul vini la voi trã spuneari calea a ndriptatiljei, sh-voi nu lu pistipsit, iarã taxidarilji sh-putanili lji pistipsirã. Cu tut atsea, voi nitsi dupã tsi li avets vidzutã aesti lucri, nu vã mitunjãsit sh-nu pistipsit.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.

33“Ascultats unã altã parabolã. Eara un nicuchir a casiljei, tsi siminã un ayinji, sh-u anvãrligã cu gardu shi sãpã un loc di stultsinari aua, sh-adrã un pirĝu di vigljari. Ayinjea lji u-pistipsi la niscãntsã ayinjeari sh-fudzi diparti.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.

34Cãndu vini chirolu di adunari, elu pitricu huzmichearlji a lui la ayinjearlji ti adunari partea a lui di fruti.When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.

35Ma ayinjearlji lji acãtsarã huzmichearilji a lui, unu lu bãturã, alantu lu vãtãmarã, sh-a treilu lu vãtãmarã cu chetri.But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.

36Nãpoi pitricu altsã huzmicheari, ma multsã di protslji, sh-ayinjearlji featsirã cu nãshi un soi.Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.

37Tu soni, elu pitricu hiljiu a lui, dzãcãnda: ‘Di hiljiu a meu va aibã respect.’Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

38Ma ayinjearlji cãndu lu vidzurã hilj-su, dzãsirã un cu-alantu: ‘Aestu easti mushtinitorlu. Haidets, s-lu vãtãmãm shi s-lom mushtinirea a lui.’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.’

39Sh-lu acãtsarã, lu arcarã nafoarã di ayinji sh-lu vãtãmarã.So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

40Tora, cãndu va yinã nicuchirlu a ayinjiljei, tsi va-l fac a ayinjearilor aishtor?”Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”

41Elji dzãsirã: “Elu va lji vatãmã di tuts arãlji, sh-va lã-u da ayinjia la altsã ayinjear, tsi va s-da frutili tu chirolu tsi prindi.”“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.”

42Isusul lã dzãsi a lor: “Nu avets cãntatã pute la Scriturili: ‘Cheatra tsi masturilji u-scoasirã ca nilipsitã, s-featsi cheatra a chioshlui. Aestu easti ciudia tsi Domnul featsi sh-easti thãvmãtisit tu ocljilji a noshtri’?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’?

43Trã atsea mini ma vã dzãc a voauã, cã va vã si ljea amirãriljea a Dumnidzãlui, sh-va lj-si da a unui popul tsi va da fruti.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.

44Sh-atsel tsi va s-cadã pri aestã cheatrã, va si s-frãngã, sh-atsel pri cai va s-cadã cheatra va si sãrãmã.”He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

45Sh-mãrilji a preftsãlor sh-Fariseilji candu li avdzãra parabolili a lui, aduchirã cã ma grea trã nãshi.When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.

46Sh-cãfta s-lu acãtsa, ma avea fricã di populu, cã elji lu lugursea prufit.Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
