Matthew 21 (TDX)

1Ie nañarine Ierosaleme, naho nandoake e Beit-Pagè, Ambohi-Oliva eo, le nirahe’ Iesoà ty roe amo mpiama’eo,As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,

2ami’ty hoe: Akia mb’amo mikijoly ey hoek’ ey, le ho oni’ areo amy zao ty borìke mirohy rekets’ ana’e, hahao, vaho tantalio mb’amako mb’etoa.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.

3Ie isaontsia’ t’indaty ndra inoñ’ inoñe, le irehafo te ipaia’ i Talè, vaho havotso’e homb’eo amy zao.If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

4I he’e zay, hañenefañe i nampisaontsieñe i mpitokiy ty hoe:This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

5Taroño ty anak’ ampela’ i Tsione: Inge mb’ama’o mb’eo ty Mpanjaka’o, vantañe naho lahifihaty, mireke, miningitse tamanam-borìke, ami’ty kondam-borìke, ana’ ty borìke-vave,“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.’”

6Aa le nimb’eo iereo, nanao i nitoroa’ Iesoày,So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.

7Nente’ iereo i borìke rekets’ ana’ey, le nandafiha’ ty ila’e ty akanjo naho saro’iareo naho niningitse ama’e t’i Iesoà, vaho nionjoñe mb’eoThey brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.

8Nandamike o saravi’eo an-dalañe eo ty ila’ i màroy, le nibira singan-katae ty ila’e ze nahifike eo ka. O aolo’eo naho o am-boho’e eoA massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

9songa nikaike ty hoe: Hosana, ry Mpañaha ty voatse toy; Andriañeñe ty mitotsake ami’ty tahina‘ Iehovà; Hosana, Mpandromba’ay; Honjonen-drehe andindìñe añe naho an-tane atoy!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!”

10Ie nizilike e Ierosaleme ao t’i Iesoà le nangetseketseke iaby i rovay, nanao ty hoe: Ia v’izao?When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

11Le nifanao ty hoe ondatio: Iesoà, Mpitoky, nte-Nazareta’ i Galiliay.The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

12Nizilike añ’Anjomban’ Añahare ao t’i Iesoà le nitendreke mpanao balike, le navalitaboa’e o tihim-panakalo volao, naho ty fitoboha’ o mpandetake dehoo,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.

13vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Hoe ty pinatetse: Hatao anjombam-pitalahoa’ ze hene fifeheañe ty Akibako, te mone lakatom-piaroteñe ty nanoa’ areo aze.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.’”

14Le nimb’ama’e añ’Anjomba ao o feio naho o kepekeo vaho jinanga’e.The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.

15Niheo mb’eo o mpisorom-beio naho o Androanavio hisamba o raha fanjàka nanoe’eo, ie nikoikoike añ’anjomba ao o ajajao nanao ty hoe: Rengeñe t’i Anan’ Añahare. F’ie ninjea’ o Androanavio,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!”

16ami’ty hoe: Tsy janji’o hao ty volàñe’ o retiañe? Tinoi’e ty hoe: Eka mahatsanon-draho! Tsy vinaki’ areo hao ty hoe, Hirik’am-bavan’ ajaja naho ajajamena ty nañoreña’o haozarañe?“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’?”

17Nienga re, niavotse mb’e Betania mb’eo naho nialeñe ao, vaho nampalangese’e am’iereo i Fifehean-Dikerañey.Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.

18Ie maraindraiñe, nibalike mb’an-drova mb’eo, nisaliko;In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.

19Niisa’e ty sakoañe añ’olon-dalañe ey le nitotofa’e, fe tsy nanjò ama’e naho tsy raveñe avao, vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Le lia’e tsy hiboaham-boa ka. Tsipaepae izay, niforejeje i sakoañey.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.

20Vereñe o mpiama’eo te nahaoniñe izay le nanao ty hoe: Inoñe ty nampangèñe i sakoañey anianik’ avao?When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”

21Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Ie ama-patokisañe, tsy mifejofejo, le tsy vaho o sakoañeo ty hanoe’o zao, fa naho lilie’ areo o vohitse eroio ty hoe: Miavota, mivaridìña andriak’ añe, le hanoe’e.“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.

22Ndra inoñ’inoñe ihalalia’ areo te milolok’ am-patokisañe, le ho azo’ areo.If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

23Nizilike añ’anjomban’ Añahare ao re hañoke le nimb’ama’e mb’eo o roandriañeo naho o mpisorom-beio naho o mpifehe’ ondatioo nanao ty hoe: Ami’ty lili’ia ty anoa’o zao? Ia ty nanolots’Azo o haozarañe zao?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?”

24Tinoi’ Iesoà ty hoe: Ontane raike ka ty hañontaneako anahareo, toiño i ahikoy, le hitaroñako ty lily anoeko zao.“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.

25Ty filipora’ i Jaona, boak’aia? hirik’ andindìñe ao hao ke boak’ am’ondatio? Niñeoñeoñe ty hoe iereo, Ino ty hanoen-tika? naho manao ty hoe tika: Hirik’ andindiñe ao, le hivolaña’e ty hoe: Aa vaho akore t’ie tsy niantofa’ areo?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?’

26ke manao ty hoe tika: Boak’ama’ ondaty, ie ihembañan-tika fa songa miantoke te mpitoky t’i Jaona?But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”

27Aa le hoe iereo, Tsy fohi’ay. Le hoe re: Izaho ka tsy hanoro anahareo ty lily itoroñako irezay.So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

28Aa akore ty heve’ areo? Teo t’indaty aman’ ana-dahy roe: nimb’ ami’ty raike re nanao ty hoe: Akia anake, mañalahalà an-tetem-baheko ao te anito.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.’

29Hoe ty natoi’e, Aiy! tsy satriko izay. F’ie añe naneñeñe le nimb’eo.‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.

30Nimb’ami’ty raike ka re, nanao i hoe zay. Nanoiñe ty hoe re: Intoy iraho, Aba. F’ie tsy nimbeo.Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.

31Aa, ia amy roe rey ty nanao ty satrin’ arofon-drae’e? Hoe iereo tama’e: I valoha’ey. Le hoe t’i Iesoà: Eka! to t’itaroñako te hiaolo anahareo mb’am-pifehean-dikerañe ao o piaroteñe naho tsimirirañeo,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.

32amy te niheo mb’ama’ areo an-dalam-bantañe t’i Jaona, fe tsy niantofa’ areo. Natoky aze ka o piaroteñeo naho o karapiloo; ie niisa’areo izay, le mbe tsy nitolike an-tsoloho avao hiantok’ aze.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.

33Inao ty razan-drehake ty ami’ty mpambole: Teo t’indaty aman-kasy nañalahala tetembahe, nañarokatoha’e fefe, nañoreña’e fitalakesañ’ abo, naho nihalia’e fipiritan-divay, le nafanto’e amo mpitoroñeo vaho nienga mb’eo.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.

34Ie tsatoke ty sam-panontonan-tsabo, le nahitri’e mb’amo mpiavao mb’eo o mpitoro’eo hangalake i vara’ey.When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.

35Fe tsinepa’ o mpamboleo o mpitoro’eo, trinabotrabo’ iereo ty valoha’e, vinono ty faharoe, vaho finetsam-bato ty fahatelo.But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.

36Nañirake mpitoroñe indraike re, maro te amy valoha’ey, fe hambañe amy teoy ty nanoañe iareo.Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.

37Fara’e, nasangitri’e am’iereo i ana-dahi’ey ami’ty hoe: Hera hiasia’ iareo i anakoy.Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

38Ie nitrea’ o mpiavao i ana’ey, le nikinia ty hoe: Intoy i mpandovay, antao hañè-doza ama’e, handovan-tika i taney.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.’

39Aa le rinambe’ iereo naho navokovoko’ iereo alafe’ i tetekey vaho navetrake.So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

40Aa ie pok’eo i talèn-tanem-bahey, hatao’e akore iareo?Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”

41Le hoe iereo tama’e: Ty amo lo-tserekeo, ho zamane’e an-keloke, le hatolo’e ami’ty mpiava ila’e i tanem-bahe’ey, hitolora’ iareo an-tsa-do’e ty voka’e.“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.”

42Hoe t’i Iesoà tam’ iereo: Tsy vinaki’ areo hao i Sokitse Masiñe manao ty hoe: I vato nadò’ o mpandranjioy le fa lohan-kotsoke; boak’am’ Iehovà izay, fiain-tane am-pihaino’ay?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’?

43Aa le itaroñako te hasintake ama’ areo i fifehean-dikerañey le hatolotse ami’ty fifeheañe mahavokatse.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.

44Haretsake ambane ze mihotrake ami’ty vato toy; le ho foifoy ty ideboña’e.He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

45Nahajanjiñe o fandrazañañeo o mpisorom-beio naho o Fariseoo, le naharendreke t’ie o tsinara’eo.When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.

46Aa le nipay hitsepake aze iereo, fe nimarimariheñe i lahialeñey, ie nitañe aze ho mpitoky.Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
