¹And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

¹Huan, Jerusalem khua a tun ding un, Bethphage khua, Oliv tang tuh, a tun un Jesu'n nungjuite nih a sawl a, a kiang uah,

²saying unto them, Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose [them], and bring [them] unto me.

²Na ma jawn khua uah vahohta unla, sabengtung khih, a kiang a a nou toh, na mu ding ua; phel unla, ka kiang ah hon kai un.

³And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

³Huan, kuapeuh in na kiang ua banghiam a gen uleh, Toupa'n a deih a ahi, na chi ding uh; huan, aman tuh a hon sawl pah mai ding, a chi a.

⁴Now this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,

⁴Hiai tengteng tuh jawlnei kam a gen a hong tun theihna ding in a hong omta hi.

⁵Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, Meek, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass.

⁵En dih, na Kumpipa, thunuailut tak in, sabengtung tungah- sabengtung nou tung ngei a tuang in na kiang ah a hong dek, chi in, Zion tanu tuh hilh in, a chih.

⁶And the disciples went, and did even as Jesus appointed them,

⁶Huchi in, nungjuite tuh a vapai ua, Jesu'n a kiang ua thu a piak bang ngei in a hih ua,

⁷and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon.

⁷sabengtung leh a nou tuh a honkai ua, a tunguah a puante uh a phah ua, huai ah a tuangta a.

⁸And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut branches from the trees, and spread them in the way.

⁸Huan, mipi lak a tamjaw in lampi ah a puante uh a phah ua, midang in sing sawl a sat ua, lampi ah a phah ua.

⁹And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

⁹Huan, mipi a malam a paite leh a juite'n, David Tapa kiang ah Hosanna: Toupa min a hongpai tuh a hampha hi: tungnungpen ah Hosanna: chi in, a kikou ua.

¹⁰And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred, saying, Who is this?

¹⁰Huan, Jerusalem khua a honglut in, a khua in, Hiai mi kua ahia? Chi in, a ling souhsouh ua.

¹¹And the multitudes said, This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.

¹¹Huan, mipite'n, hiai mi jawlnei Jesu, Galili gam a Nazaret khua a ahi, a chi ua.

¹²And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of he money-changers, and the seats of them that sold the doves;

¹²Huan, Jesu Pathian biak in ah a valut a, biakin a juakmite leh leimite tengteng a delhkhia a, dangka khengte dohkante leh vakhu juakte tutphahte leng a sawnpaih sak a;

¹³and he saith unto them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer: but ye make it a den of robbers.

¹³a kiang uah, Ka in thumna in a chi ding uh, chih gelh ahi; nou bel suamhatte khuk in na bawljaw uh, a chi a.

¹⁴And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.

¹⁴Huan, Pathian biak in ah mittawte leh khebaite a kiang ah a hong ua; amau a na hihdam.

¹⁵But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children that were crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were moved with indignation,

¹⁵Himahleh, siampu lalte leh laigelhmite'n a thil lamdang hihte leh biakin a, David Tapa Hosanna: chi a naupang kikoute a muh un, a lungkimkei mahmah ua,

¹⁶and said unto him, Hearest thou what these are saying? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea: did ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou has perfected praise?

¹⁶a kiang ah, Hiaite thugen na ja hia? a chi ua. Huan, Jesu'n a kiang uah, Ja e; Naungekte leh nawi nelaite kam a pawt in pahtawina na hihkimta, chih na sim ngeikei ua hia? A chi a.

¹⁷And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

¹⁷Huan, amau tuh a paisan a, khopi apat a pawt a, Bethani ah a pai a; huai ah a giakta.

¹⁸Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he hungered.

¹⁸Huan, jing a khopi lam a akik nawnlai in a gil a hong kialta a.

¹⁹And seeing a fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only; and he saith unto it, Let there be no fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away.

¹⁹Huan, lamsik ah theipi kung a mu a, a va naih a, a nah kia loungal bangmah a mukei a. Huan, a kiang ah, Khantawn in na gah nawnta ken a chi a.

²⁰And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How did the fig tree immediately wither away?

²⁰Huan, theipi tuh a vul pah ngal a. Huan, nungjuite'n huai amuh un, Bangchidan ahia theipi a vulpah tel? chi in lamdang a sa mahmah ua.

²¹And Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do what is done to the fig tree, but even if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done.

²¹Huan, Jesu'n a kiang uah, Chihtaktakin, ka hon hilh ahi, ginna na neih ua, na gin lah kei uleh, theipi tung a hih bang phet leng na hihkei ding ua, hiai tang kiang ah leng, Na kisuan inla, tuipi ah na kipai in, chi le uchin, na chih bang un, a hong om ding.

²²And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

²²Huan, bang peuh gingta a thum a na nget uh na mu ding uh, a chi a, a dawng a.

²³And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?

²³Huan, Pathian biakin a lut nung a, thu a hilhlai in, siampu lalte leh vantang upate a kiang ah a hong ua, a kiang ah, Kua thu in ahia hiai thil na hih? Kuan thu a hon pai a? A chi ua.

²⁴And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁴Huan, Jesu'n a kiang uah, Ken leng thu kam khat kon dong sam ding, huai tuh na hon hilh uleh, kua thu in ahia hiai thil ka hih, ka hon hilh sam ding.

²⁵The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why then did ye not believe him?

²⁵Johan baptisma, hiai kaw kipan ahia? Van a kipan hia, a hihkeileh mihing a kipan? A chi a, a dong a. Huan, a kingaihtuah ua. Van a kipan, chi lehang, Bang dia amah ginglou na hi ua leh? A hon chi kha dia.

²⁶But if we shall say, From men; we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet.

²⁶Huan, Mihing a kipan, chi lehang, mipi i kihta ngal a; mi tengteng in lah Johan jawlnei in a sim ngal ua, a chi ua.

²⁷And they answered Jesus, and said, We know not. He also said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

²⁷Huchi in, Jesu a dawng ua, Theikei ung, a chi ua. Aman leng a kiang uah, Ken leng kua thu in ahia hiai thil ka hih ka hon hilh samkei ding, a chi a.

²⁸But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in the vineyard.

²⁸Himahleh, nou bang chi na sa ua? Mi kuahiam in tapa nih a nei a, Khatpa kiang ah a vahoh a, Ta aw, tuni'n grep huan ah vasem ve, a chi a.

²⁹And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went.

²⁹Aman, Ka utkei, a chi a, a dawng a; himahleh a denchiang in a lungsim a kheng a, a kuanta a.

³⁰And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.

³⁰Huan, khatpa kiang ah leng a vahoh a, tua bangmah in a vachi a. Huan, aman, Pu, ka kuan ding, a chi a, a dawng a; himahleh a kuanta kei.

³¹Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

³¹Huai mi nihte a kua jaw in, a pa uh deihlam a hih aleh a chi a. Amau tuh, A masapen in, a chi ua. Jesu'n a kiang uah, Chihtaktakin ka hon hilh ahi, siahkhonte leh kijuakte'n Pathian gamah nou a hon lut khalh ding uh.

³²For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him.

³²Johan tuh diktatna lam tawn in na kiang uah a hong a, amah lah na gingta ngalkei ua: siahkhonmite leh kijuakte'n bel amah a gingta ua; noute'n huai na muh nung un leng amah na gintak theihna ding un na kisik nuam tuankei uh.

³³Hear another parable: There was a man that was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.

³³Gentehna thu dang ngaikhia un: Mi kuahiam, in nei a om a, huai min tuh grephuan a bawl a, gawl in a um suak a, grep sukna khuk a tou a, in sang a lam a; huan, lou kemte kiang ah khoh loh ding in a pia a, gam dang ah a paita a.

³⁴And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits.

³⁴Huan, a gah loh a hun ding kuan in a gah la ding in lou kemte kiang ah a sikhate a sawl a.

³⁵And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

³⁵Huan, lou kemte'n tuh a sikhate a naman ua, khat a vua ua, khat a that ua, khat suang in a deng ua.

³⁶Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them in like manner.

³⁶Huan, sikha dang, a masa pawl sang a tamjaw a sawl nawn a; amau tungah leng a ma ua mite a hih bangmah un a na hih nawn ua.

³⁷But afterward he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

³⁷Huai nung in tuh, Ka tapa a zahtak ding uh, chi in, a tapa tuh a kiang uah a sawl a.

³⁸But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take his inheritance.

³⁸Himahleh lou kemte'n a tapa a na muh tak un, Hiai mipa gouluahdingpa ahi; that ni e: a gou luah ding tansak ni, a kichi ua.

³⁹And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.

³⁹Huchi in, amah tuh a man ua, grephuan a kipan a pai khia ua, a thatta ua.

⁴⁰When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?

⁴⁰Huchi in grep huan neipa a hongpai chiang in huai lou kemte tungah bang chin a hon hih dia le? A chi a.

⁴¹They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

⁴¹Amau tuh a kiang ah, Huai migiloute tuh haksa tak in a hihmangthang ding a, grep huan lah lou kemmi dang a loh hun teng a a gahte a kiang a pe jel dingte kiang ah, khoh loh ding in a pe ding, a chi ua.

⁴²Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous in our eyes?

⁴²Jesu'n a kiang uah, Laisiangthoute a, In lammite suang deihlouhpen, huai ngeingei a ning a suang phatuampen a hong hita. Huai tuh Toupa hih ahi, i mit muh in a lamdang ahi, chih, na sim ngeikei ua hia?

⁴³Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and shall be given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

⁴³Huaijiak in, Pathian gam tuh na kiang ua kipan laksak ahi dia, a gah suah ding nam dang kiang ah piak ahi ding, chih, ka hon hilh ahi.

⁴⁴And he that falleth on this stone shall be broken to pieces: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.

⁴⁴Huan, huai suang tung a puk tuh a kitam gawp dia; a delh khakte houh a gawijan ding, a chi a.

⁴⁵And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

⁴⁵Huan, siampu lalte leh Pharisaite'n a gentehna thute a jak un amau tung thu a gen chih a theita ua.Huan, amah tuh mat a tum ua; himahleh mipite a kihta ngal ua, jawlnei a a sim jiak un.

⁴⁶And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet.

⁴⁶Huan, amah tuh mat a tum ua; himahleh mipite a kihta ngal ua, jawlnei a a sim jiak un.
