¹When they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethsphage TR & NU read “Bethphage” instead of “Bethsphage” and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

¹ Waato kaŋ i maan Urusalima* hala Baytfaji nda Baytaniya kawyey, Zeytun* tondo do haray, kal a na nga talibi hinka donton,

¹And when they draw nigh unto Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples,

²and said to them, “Go your way into the village that is opposite you. Immediately as you enter into it, you will find a young donkey tied, on which no one has sat. Untie him, and bring him.

² ka ne i se: «Wa koy kawya kaŋ go araŋ jine din ra. Za araŋ furanta, araŋ ga di farkay binj'ize fo kaŋ i n'a haw, kaŋ boro kulu mana goro a boŋ jina. W'a feeri ka kand'a.

²and saith unto them, Go your way into the village that is over against you: and straightway as ye enter into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat; loose him, and bring him.

³ If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs him;’ and immediately he will send him back here.”

³ Boro kulu kaŋ n'araŋ hã ka ne: ‹Ifo se no araŋ go ga te yaadin?› araŋ ma ne: ‹Rabbi no gond'a muraadu.› Sahãadin d'a bora din g'a samba ne.»

³And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye, The Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him back hither.

⁴They went away, and found a young donkey tied at the door outside in the open street, and they untied him.

⁴ I koy ka di farkay binj'izo go ga haw fu meyo gaa taray fonda jarga. I n'a feeri.

⁴And they went away, and found a colt tied at the door without in the open street; and they loose him.

⁵Some of those who stood there asked them, “What are you doing, untying the young donkey?”

⁵ Boro fooyaŋ kaŋ goono ga kay noodin ne i se: «Ifo se no araŋ goono ga farkay binj'izo feeri?»

⁵And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

⁶They said to them just as Jesus had said, and they let them go.

⁶ I ci i se mate kaŋ Yesu ne, i n'i naŋ mo.

⁶And they said unto them even as Jesus had said: and they let them go.

⁷They brought the young donkey to Jesus, and threw their garments on it, and Jesus sat on it.

⁷ I kande binjo Yesu do ka ngey taafey dake a boŋ. Nga mo kaaru a boŋ.

⁷And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him.

⁸Many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees, and spreading them on the road.

⁸ Boro boobo mo na ngey bankaarayey daaru fonda ra, afooyaŋ mo tuuri kambe baano yaŋ kaŋ i dumbu saajo ra.

⁸And many spread their garments upon the way; and others branches, which they had cut from the fields.

⁹Those who went in front, and those who followed, cried out, “Hosanna “Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray.” ! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Psalm 118:25-26

⁹ Borey mo kaŋ yaŋ go ga koy a jine nda ngey kaŋ yaŋ go ga gana banda soobay ka kuuwa ka ne: «Hosanna*!» «Albarkante no nga kaŋ goono ga kaa Rabbi maa ra!»

⁹And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, Hosanna; Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

¹⁰Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is coming in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

¹⁰ «Albarkante no koytara kaŋ go kaa, iri baaba Dawda koytara nooya!» «Hosanna beene kaŋ bisa ikulu ra!»

¹⁰Blessed [is] the kingdom that cometh, [the kingdom] of our father David: Hosanna in the highest.

¹¹Jesus entered into the temple in Jerusalem. When he had looked around at everything, it being now evening, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

¹¹And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and when he had looked round about upon all things, it being now eventide, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

¹²And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered.

¹³Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

¹³ Za a go nangu mooro, a di jeejay* nya fo kaŋ gonda kobtey. A gana ka kaa ka di hal nga ga du ize a gaa. Waato kaŋ a to a do, a mana di hay kulu kala kobtey, zama manti jeejay hayyaŋ alwaati no.

¹³And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it was not the season of figs.

¹⁴Jesus told it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” and his disciples heard it.

¹⁴ A salaŋ ka ne jeejay nyaŋo se: «Boro kulu ma si ize ŋwa ni gaa koyne hal abada.» A talibey mo maa woodin.

¹⁴And he answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit from thee henceforward for ever. And his disciples heard it.

¹⁵They came to Jerusalem, and Jesus entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.

¹⁵ I kaa Urusalima. A furo Irikoy windo ra ka sintin ka neerakoy da daykoy gaaray i ma fun Irikoy windo ra. A na nooru barmaykoy taabley tuti ka bare, ngey da koloŋay neerakoy goray nangey mo.

¹⁶ A mana naŋ mo kusu jarekoy ma gana ka bisa Irikoy windo ra.

¹⁶and he would not suffer that any man should carry a vessel through the temple.

¹⁷He taught, saying to them, “Isn’t it written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?’ Isaiah 56:7 But you have made it a den of robbers!” Jeremiah 7:11

¹⁷ A dondonandi ka ne i se: «Manti i n'a hantum ka ne: ‹I ga ne ay windo se adduwa windi ndunnya dumey kulu se?› Amma araŋ n'a bare ka ciya ‹zayyaŋ guusu›.»

¹⁷And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of robbers.

¹⁸The chief priests and the scribes heard it, and sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching.

¹⁸ Alfaga beerey da asariya* dondonandikoy mo maa. I ceeci mate kaŋ ngey ga te k'a halaci nd'a, zama i ga humbur'a zama borey marga dambara nd'a dondonandiyaŋo.

²⁰And as they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away from the roots.

²¹Peter, remembering, said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which you cursed has withered away.”

²¹ Bitros mo fongu ka ne a se: «Alfa, guna jeejay nyaŋo kaŋ ni laali din, a koogu.»

²¹And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

²²Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God.

²²And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

²³ For most certainly I tell you, whoever may tell this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and doesn’t doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is happening; he shall have whatever he says.

²³ Zama haciika ay ga ne araŋ se: boro kulu kaŋ ga ne tondi kuuko wo se: ‹Ma dagu ka koy kaŋ teeko ra,› bora mana sikka nga bina ra mo, amma a ga cimandi kaŋ haya kaŋ nga ga ne ga te, woodin ga te.

²³Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.

²⁴ Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

²⁴ Woodin sabbay se no ay ga ne araŋ se: hay kulu kaŋ me araŋ ga ŋwaaray adduwa ra, wa cimandi kaŋ araŋ du a, a ga ciya araŋ wane mo.

²⁴Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

²⁵ Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.

²⁵ Waati kaŋ araŋ goono ga kay ka adduwa te mo, d'araŋ gonda hay fo araŋ da boro fo game ra, araŋ m'a yaafa. Zama araŋ Baabo kaŋ go beena ra mo, a m'araŋ taaley yaafa.

²⁵And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

²⁶ But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.”

²⁶ Amma d'araŋ si borey taaley yaafa, araŋ Baabo kaŋ go beena ra mo si araŋ taaley yaafa.»

²⁶[But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your trespasses.]

²⁷They came again to Jerusalem, and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders came to him,

²⁷ I ye ka kaa Urusalima koyne. Waato kaŋ Yesu goono ga windi Irikoy windo ra, alfaga beerey da asariya dondonandikoy da arkusey kaa a do.

²⁷And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;

²⁸and they began saying to him, “By what authority do you do these things? Or who gave you this authority to do these things?”

²⁸ I go ga ne a se: «Dabari woofo dumi no ni ga hayey din te d'a? Wala may ka ni no dabaro wo hala ni ma hayey din te?»

²⁸and they said unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? or who gave thee this authority to do these things?

²⁹Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁹ Yesu mo ne i se: «Ay g'araŋ hã sanni fo. Araŋ ma tu ay se, ay mo ga ci araŋ se dabari kaŋ dumi no ay goono ga hayey din te d'a.»

²⁹And Jesus said unto them, I will ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

³⁰ A ne: «To, Yohanna baptisma*, Irikoy do no a fun, wala borey do no? Wa tu ay se.»

³⁰The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? answer me.

³¹They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven;’ he will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

³¹ Kala i saaware ngey da care game ra ka ne: «D'iri ne: ‹Irikoy do no›, a ga ne: ‹Day ifo se no araŋ man'a cimandi?›

³¹And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

³²If we should say, ‘From men’”—they feared the people, for all held John to really be a prophet.

³² Amma d'iri ne: ‹Borey do no›, to!» -- i ga humburu borey marga zama i kulu tabbat kaŋ Yohanna ya annabi no daahir.

³²But should we say, From men--they feared the people: for all verily held John to be a prophet.

³³They answered Jesus, “We don’t know.” Jesus said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

³³ I binde tu Yesu se ka ne: «Iri si bay.» Yesu mo tu ka ne i se: «Ay mo si ci araŋ se dabari kaŋ dumi no ay goono ga hayey din te d'a.»

³³And they answered Jesus and say, We know not. And Jesus saith unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
