²¹Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.

²¹ Yesu tu ka ne i se: «Haciika ay ga ne araŋ se: d'araŋ gonda cimbeeri* kaŋ sinda sikka, manti wo kaŋ te jeejay nyaŋo se hinne no araŋ ga te bo, amma hala baa tondi kuuko wo, d'araŋ ga ne a se: ‹Ma dagu ka koy kaŋ teeko ra,› kal a m'a te.

²³When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you this authority?”

²³ Waato kaŋ a furo Irikoy windo ra, alfaga beerey da jama arkusey* kaa a do waato kaŋ cine a goono ga borey dondonandi. I ne: «Dabari woofo dumi no ni go ga hayey din te d'a? May ka ni no dabaro wo mo?»

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?

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?

²⁶But if we say, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”

²⁶ Amma d'iri ne: ‹Borey do no› -- to, iri ga humburu borey marga, zama i goono ga ne Yohanna ya annabi no.»

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

²⁷They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁷ I binde tu Yesu se ka ne: «Iri si bay.» Nga mo ne i se: «Ay mo si ci araŋ se dabari kaŋ dumi no ay goono ga hayey din te d'a.

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.

²⁸ But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’

²⁸ Amma ifo no araŋ ga ho? Boro fo no ka bara nda ize alboro hinka. A kaa ijina do ka ne a se: ‹Ay izo, hunkuna ma koy kalo do ka goy.›

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.

²⁹ Izo ne: ‹Ay si koy.› Amma kokor banda a ye ka tuubi ka koy.

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

³⁰ He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I go, sir,’ but he didn’t go.

³⁰ Baabo koy ihinkanta do ka ci nga mo se yaadin. Nga mo tu ka ne: ‹To, baaba, ay ga.› Amma a mana koy.

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

³¹ Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you.

³¹ To. I boro hinka din ra woofo no ka te haŋ kaŋ i baabo ga ba?» Kal i ne: «E! ijina me!» Yesu ne i se: «Haciika ay ga ne araŋ se: jangal taakoy da kaaruwey g'araŋ jin ka furo Irikoy koytara ra.

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.

³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might believe him.

³² Zama Yohanna go, a kaa araŋ do, a go ga cimi goy te, amma araŋ man'a cimandi. Amma jangal taakoy da kaaruwey n'a cimandi. Araŋ mo, waato kaŋ araŋ di woodin, araŋ mana baa kokor ka tuubi k'a cimandi.

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.

³³ “Hear another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household, who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a winepress in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.

³³ Araŋ ma maa misa fo: Waato no boro fo go no, windikoy no. Day a na reyzin* kali tilam. A n'a kali nda sinkita, a na guusu fansi a ra mo reyzin haro kankamyaŋ sabbay se. A na jidan bisa cina ka kalo sufuray goy-teeri fooyaŋ se ka koy laabu fo ra.

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.

³⁴ When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit.

³⁴ Waato kaŋ reyzin izey ninyaŋ alwaato to, a na nga bannya fooyaŋ donton goy-teerey din gaa, i ma ta ka kande nga se kalo albarka gaa.

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

³⁵ The farmers took his servants, beat one, killed another, and stoned another.

³⁵ Amma goy-teerey din na bannyey di. I na afo kar ka tutubu, i na afo mo wi, i na afo catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ.

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

³⁶ Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they treated them the same way.

³⁶ Hala hõ a ye ka bannya fooyaŋ donton koyne kaŋ yaŋ baa da ijiney. Ngey mo, yaadin no i te i se.

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

³⁷ But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

³⁷ Amma kokor banda a na nga izo donton i gaa ka ne: ‹I g'ay izo beerandi.›

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

³⁸ But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and seize his inheritance.’

³⁸ Amma waato kaŋ goy-teerey di izo, i ne ngey nda care se: ‹Woone ya tubukwa no. Wa kaa iri m'a wi ka tubo ta.›

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

³⁹ So they took him, and threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.

³⁹ I n'a di k'a catu kalo banda k'a wi.

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

⁴⁰ When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”

⁴⁰ To. Waati kaŋ kali koyo ga kaa, ifo no a ga te goy-teerey din se?»

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

⁴¹They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season.”

⁴¹ Borey ne a se: «A ga boro yaamey din wi, wiyaŋ laalo, ka kalo sufuray goy-teeri fooyaŋ se, kaŋ yaŋ ga soobay k'a no kalo albarka a ninyaŋ waate.»

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.

⁴²Jesus said to them, “Did you 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. It is marvelous in our eyes?’ Psalm 118:22-23

⁴² Yesu ne i se: «Day, araŋ mana caw Irikoy Tira Hanney ra ce fo no? I ne: ‹Tondo kaŋ cinakoy wangu, nga no ciya cinaro boŋo. Woodin ya Rabbi te-goy no, dambara hari mo no iri diyaŋ gaa.›

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?

⁴³ “Therefore I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation bringing forth its fruit.

⁴³ Woodin se no ay ga ne araŋ se: i ga Irikoy koytara ta araŋ gaa, k'a no dumi fo se kaŋ g'a goyo te mate kaŋ a ga hima nd'a.

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.

⁴⁴ He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”

⁴⁴ Boro kulu kaŋ ga kaŋ tondo din boŋ, a ga ceeri-ceeri, amma boro kaŋ boŋ a ga kaŋ, a g'a fufu k'a te sanda kusa cine.»

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

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