Matthew 21 (XSN)

1Nangka Yeso kaa atoma kai ne dukǝ kapeng ka Betapaji kamea ka amara ka Urushalima, ba kulǝ oyara o mati ma Zaitun, na Yeso ka tong atoma kai a leere,As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,

2naka beka nee na, “Lyǝ na ba kapeng kaa niini ba izi oying. Ee lyǝ eyo laka kurungzǝ baa tera, ka kabana kame. Dinggǝ na e ka ecang.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.

3Ondo wa pirkǝ, ying e beka wai na, Ateokora ya yeme one. Wayo kuriyǝ ee aa rabokoro.”If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

4A ye nyimia adorana a panza epa eeka ondo beya angmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili Zakariya beke obena,This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:

5“Ee bekaa kagala ka Sihiyona na, laka, Ogomo oying waya zo deya ba ying! Ondo o nata ukpwei wai, Waya zaa kabana kurungzǝ.”“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.’”

6Na atoma Yeso ne ale, nane ye epaaka Yeso ka bekaa ne.So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.

7Nane de kaa kurungzǝ ka kabana kame, nane nata ne madibi aa zaa one, a ka zale.They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.

8Na aromo ba cak ne nata madibi mane ba zaa orona, aana ondo gera marane ma mati nane eese ba zaa orona.A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

9A okurkǝnǝng aromo ka neya teweno ba izi ka kai kaa andaaka neya dimǝ kai, nane ara angmelo aane beya na, “Hosana Kena ka Daoda! Okona oleba wa itǝ o kando ko deya ba nyimi leze le Ateokora! Hosana o Ashili!”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!”

10Nangka Yeso ka lyǝ baa nyimi Urushalima na pate apeng me a bitǝkǝrnu, aane beya naa, “Mana waana?”When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”

11Na aromo aaka neya tare o Yeso bekaana, “Kanna kando ka o beya angmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili Yeso kamea ka surǝa Nazarat o makeke ma Galili.”The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

12Na Yeso ka lyǝ akwilǝ Ashili naka tarangga ana o lisǝzǝ kaa ana o eesa magogoro baa nyimi me, naka bitǝkǝri pate matara mana o saara emate me, kaa matara ma o lisǝsǝ egoma e akwilǝ.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.

13Naka bekaa nee na, “A wele obena, ‘Ayo rara akwilǝ ang aro beya angmǝ kaa Ashili, na ying e kuriyǝ ai aro baasaza ana o tǝǝru aromo.’ ”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.’”

14Na arǝ kaa agǝdǝ ne deya baa kai a nyimi akwilǝ Ashili naka womza ne.The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.

15Nangka andaamoole magame ma Ashili, kaa ana o baala angmǝ aka Ashili a nya Mosa ne laka epa o tera ukpwei eeka ka eza, aa ayana yaa saba Ashili ba nyimi akwilǝ Ashili a ne beya na, “Hosana Kena ka Daoda!” Na ne kone oburǝ maleo.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!”

16Nane bekaa kai na, “Oya konaza epaeka andaana ya beya me sang? Na Yeso beka ne naa, “Ma kona, azaa nyimi eta rosa obena a wele na, “Ba nyimi ongmǝ a abana ayana kaa akaa tata a asa, boa baa ote ka ne saboo sang?”“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’?”

17Naka arnang kaa ne, aaka suri ba nyimi apeng me, naka ale ba Betanya, aaka more saname.Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.

18Nangka ara a sane a kaya kurǝ ba nyimia apeng, na ekomo moke kai.In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.

19Nangka ka laka uti o uli ba ting orona, naka ale ba uti me naka ta cǝ eyapa o uti me ne soona marane belle. Naka beka uti me na, “Otoo ya ayana kangza ne!” Na ongmere liizi na uti me wa waka.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.

20Nangka atoma kai ne laka nyimi, na epame e tere ne ukpwei nane bore be pirǝ na, “Eyaka uti uli na wa waka ba saseya?”When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”

21Na Yeso ka kabare naka beka ne naa, “Eyang dongdong bele oying maganggang maame, eeya ka o eke lenyong ba Ashili, zora madoola ma yende, epaaka e mana uti uli ona, eya eto eza belle ne, eyo ama o beka ba oyara ona, era, ka o taru ba nyimi opong ogong, a wayo itǝ nyimi.“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.

22Eeya ka o eke lenyong ba Ashili, pate epaaka e bosa ba Ashili eyo cǝ e.”If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

23Nangka Yeso ka lyǝ ba nyimi akwilǝ Ashili, kaya aza obaala naname, na andaamoole magame ma Ashili, ka magonggong ma aromo nane deya kai ka be pirǝ na, “Ka legoone le mana oya eza magogoro maana? Kangza mana wa nyau legoone le me?”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?”

24Na Yeso ka kabare naka bekaa na, “Mima eyang eza o ying be pirǝ. E kabareng, mima eyang bele oying ka legoone le mana ang eze magogoro maana.“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.

25O batisma o Yohana, wa surǝ babaa? Ba zaa shili naa, ba aromoi?” Nane dambaraza a tukpwei tone obena, “Te bekaana, wa surǝ shili, kayo bekaa aro na, na eyaka eta e kabare kaa kai ne?”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?’

26Kangza te bekaana, “Wa surǝ ba aromo, teya kona boome be aromo, obena komana wa rose obena Yohana ondo beya angmǝ ka mawo ma Ashili wai.”But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”

27Nane kabare Yeso na, “Teta rosa ne.” Na Yeso beka ne naa, “Nyimia mima anta a bele oying ka legoone le mana ang ezeze magogoro maana ne.”So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

28“E laka nannia? Oromo yende wa zene kaa ayana leere andaleme. Nawa ale baa ka o bora, nawa beka kai na, “Kena kang ale ka o eza ogole ba ara o inabi.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.’

29Na kena kame beka na, “Anta ale ne.” Nangka a rabokoro naka sara madoola, aaka ale.‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.

30Na ate ame wa ale baa ka o leere kame, nawa beka kai epaaka wa beka a ka o bora. Na ka o leere bekaana, “Ma kona ate, eyang ale,” na kata ale ne.Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.

31Ba nyimi ayana leere me mana wa ye epaeka ate me wa yeme? Nane bekaana, “Ka o bora.” Na Yeso bekaa nee na, “Eyang bele o ying epeng eme, ana o eesa emate e makeke kaa andaaye o lisǝzǝ apung ane neya kaana oying o lyǝ ba togomo ta Ashili.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.

32Obena Yohana o batisma wa de nawa wore ying orona o rere, neeta kabare ka wai ne. Ba zaa nyimi na ana o eesa emate makeke kaa andaaye o lisǝzǝ apung ane ne kabare ka wai, aa ying pate ka o laka enna, malo nyimi na eta kabare a pisǝ madinǝ maying ne.”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“Angmǝ aa gerpo yendea aana kangza. Oromo yende wa zene ka waye kaa ara o inabi, nawa ringǝri ara me ka odarne, nawa kau le'o le noke ayana inabi a ara me, a kangza wa so odankee ona soola ara me. Malo nyimi nawa nya ana ogole yende lebose le ara me, a wa ale begere.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.

34Nangka awere o sende e inabi me wa ye, nawa tong azara wai baa ana ogole me kane embe epaaka e itǝ e wai baa ne.When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.

35Na andaaka a bose ne ara me, ne meke azara me, nane ole o yende, aa ne wong o yende, aa ne teeze o taaro me.But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.

36Nawa kang tongha azara yende, amea ne kala obora, na andaaka a bose ne ara me, nane ye ne epaeka ne ye ana obora name.Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.

37Malo nyimi nawa tong kena ka wai baa ne, a wa eke obena, ‘Neyo laka o gongha kena kang.’Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

38Nangka andaaka a bose ne ara ame ne laka kena ka oromo me, nane bekaa tukpwei tone na, “Aha, kando kaana ekeeya ara me aya itǝ a kai. A te wongha kai adorana ara me itǝ a aro.”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.’

39Na ne moke kai, aane tare kai ba malo o darne, nane wongha kai.So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

40O ara aana wa deya, eya wayo ya kaa andaaka a bose ne ara ogole me?”Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”

41Nane beka kai na, “Wayo wongza ana anyong a buru me, awa bose ana ondo a ara me, andaaka neyo nyaza wai epaaka e itǝ e wai aa nyimi epa eeka ne cǝ.”“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.”

42Na Yeso beka ne naa, “Eta tukǝ kona epaaka a wele ba nyimi angmǝ Ashili sang? O bena, “Lecale leeka ondo sowa wa nyana, leya lee itǝ le o kala ee dang o sowa odo. Onna o eza Ashilia wai, Epa o tera ukpwei aa yizi aro.”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“Ba zaa nyimi eyang bele oying, ayo emba togomo ta Ashili ba ying, ka nya a aromo makeke ma yende amea neyo wore o cikǝ o rere.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.

44Ondooka wa rizi aza le cale leena, wayo poso. Aa ondooka le cale leme le taru ba zaa wai leyo nyanta wai naa ma'ena.”He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

45Nangka ana magame ma moole kaa maParisa ne kone angmǝ me, nane rose obena, kaya beya baa za onea.When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.

46Na ne gere o moke okai, na boome ba aromo nara ne, obena pate aromo ne jeka kai ondo beya angmǝ kama mawo ma Ashili kai.Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
