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,

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

⁴All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

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.

⁵Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

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

⁶And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

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

⁷And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.

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.

⁸And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.

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.

⁹And the multitudes that went before, 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.

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

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

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

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

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;

¹²And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

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.

¹³And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

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

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

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,

¹⁵And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,

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.

¹⁶And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

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

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

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

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

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.

¹⁹And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered 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.

²⁰And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

²⁷And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

³¹Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, 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.

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.

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 had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

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.

³³Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:

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

³⁴And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

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

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

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.

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

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

³⁷But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

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.

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

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

³⁹And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

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

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

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.

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

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?

⁴²Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

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.

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

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

⁴⁴And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

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.

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

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

⁴⁶But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
