¹ Gannaaw loolu Yeesu ak taalibe ya jege woon nañu Yerusalem, ba agsi dëkku Betfase ci wetu tundu Oliw ya. Noonu Yeesu yebal ñaari taalibe,

¹When they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, TR & NU read “Bethphage” instead of “Bethsphage” to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

² ne leen: «Demleen ci dëkk bi ci seen kanam. Bu ngeen eggee, dingeen gis mbaam mu ñu yeew ak cumburam; yiwileen leen, indil ma leen.

²saying to them, “Go into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them, and bring them to me.

³ Te bu leen kenn waxee dara, ngeen ne ko: “Boroom bi da leen a soxla.” Kon ca saa sa dina leen bàyyi, ñu dem.»

³ If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

⁴ Yeesu def na noonu, ngir la ñu waxoon jaarale ko cib yonent am, bi mu naan:

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

⁵ «Waxal waa Siyon:“Seen buur a ngi ñëw ci yéen;ku lewet la, te war mbaam-sëf,dig cumbur, doomu mbaam.”»

⁵“Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Zechariah 9:9

⁶ Noonu taalibe ya dem, def loolu leen Yeesu sant.

⁶The disciples went, and did just as Jesus commanded them,

⁷ Ñu indi mbaam ma, moom ak cumbur ga, lal ci seeni yére, Yeesu toog ca.

⁷and brought the donkey and the colt, and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.

⁸ Ña ëpp ca mbooloo ma lal seeni yére ca yoon wa, ñenn ña dagg ay cari garab, lal leen it ca yoon wa.

⁸A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut branches from the trees, and spread them on the road.

⁹ Mbooloom ña ko jiitu ak ña ko topp ñépp di wax ca kaw naan:«Osaana, yaw Sëtu Daawuda bi!Yaw miy ñëw ci turu Boroom bi,ku barkeel nga!Ca bérab yu gën a kawe,nañu ne: “Osaana!”»

⁹The multitudes who went before him, and who followed kept shouting, “Hosanna “Hosanna” means “save us” or “help us, we pray.” to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” Psalm 118:26

¹⁰ Bi nga xamee ne Yeesu dugg na Yerusalem, dëkk ba bépp yengatu ne: «Kii moo di kan?»

¹⁰When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”

¹¹ Mbooloo ma tontu leen ne: «Kii moo di yonentu Yàlla Yeesu, bi jóge Nasaret ci Galile.»

¹¹The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”

¹² Bi loolu amee Yeesu dugg ca kër Yàlla ga, dàq ñépp ña fay jaay ak ña fay jënd. Mu daaneel taabali weccikatu xaalis ya ak tooguy jaaykati pitax ya,

¹²Jesus entered into the temple of God, and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.

¹³ naan: «Mbind mi nee na: “Sama kër dinañu ko wooye këru ñaan ci Yàlla,” waaye yéen def ngeen ko këru sàcc.»

¹³He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ Isaiah 56:7 but you have made it a den of robbers!” Jeremiah 7:11

¹⁴ Noonu ay gumba ak ay lafañ ñëw ci moom ca kër Yàlla ga, mu faj leen.

¹⁴The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.

¹⁵ Bi nga xamee ne saraxalekat yu mag ya ak xutbakat ya gis nañu yëf yu doy waar ya mu def, te dégg xale yu ndaw ya nekk ca kër Yàlla ga, di wax ci kaw naan: «Osaana, yaw Sëtu Daawuda bi!» ñu daldi mer.

¹⁵But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,

¹⁶ Noonu ñu ne Yeesu: «Ndax dégg nga li ñuy wax?» Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Waaw dégg naa ko. Ndax musuleen a jàng lii ci Mbind mi: “Ci gémmiñu perantal ak ñiy nàmp sàkkal nga sa bopp ay cant”?»

¹⁶and said to him, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing babies you have perfected praise?’” Psalm 8:2

¹⁷ Bi Yeesu waxee loolu, mu bàyyi leen, génn dëkk ba, jëm Betani, fanaan fa.

¹⁷He left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.

¹⁸ Ci suba teel Yeesu dellusi ca dëkk ba, mu xiif.

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

¹⁹ Noonu mu séen garabu figg ca yoon wa, waaye bi mu fa agsee, gisu ci dara lu dul ay xob rekk. Ci kaw loolu Yeesu ne ko: «Dootuloo meññ mukk.» Ca saa sa figg ga daldi wow.

¹⁹Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away.

²⁰ Bi nga xamee ne taalibe ya gis nañu loolu, ñu waaru naan: «Nan la figg gi daldi wowe ci taxawaay bi?»

²⁰When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?”

²¹ Noonu Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, su ngeen gëmee te bañ a werante, dingeen def li ma def figg gi, rax-ca-dolli bu ngeen nee tund wale: “Jógal tàbbi ca géej ga,” dina ko def.

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.

²² Te lépp lu ngeen laaj cig ñaan, bu ngeen ci boolee ngëm, dingeen ci jot.»

²² All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

²³ Gannaaw loolu Yeesu dugg ca kër Yàlla ga, di fa jàngale. Bi muy jàngale nag saraxalekat yu mag ya ak njiiti xeet wa ñëw ci moom ne ko: «Yëf yii ngay def, ci ban sañ-sañ nga koy defe? Ku la may boobu sañ-sañ?»

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?”

²⁴ Yeesu tontu leen ne: «Man itam dinaa leen laaj lenn; bu ngeen ma ko waxee, kon dinaa leen wax ci ban sañ-sañ laay defe yëf yii.

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

²⁵ La Yaxya daan def, di sóob nit ñi ci ndox, fu mu ko jële, ci Yàlla walla ci nit ñi?» Ci kaw loolu ñu daldi werante ci seen biir naan: «Bu nu nee: “Ci Yàlla,” dina nu laaj: “Lu tax gëmuleen ko kon?”

²⁵ The baptism of John, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

²⁶ Te bu nu nee: “Ci nit ñi,” kon mbooloo mi dal ci sunu kaw, ndaxte ñépp teg nañu Yaxya ab yonent.»

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

²⁷ Ñu tontu Yeesu nag: «Loolu xamunu ko.» Noonu Yeesu ne leen: «Kon man itam duma leen wax ci ban sañ-sañ laay defe yëf yii.

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.

²⁸ «Lu di seen xalaat ci lii? Kenn nit amoon na ñaari doom. Am bés mu ñëw ca taaw ba ne ko: “Sama doom, demal tey liggéeyi ca sama toolu réseñ.”

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.’

²⁹ Taaw ba tontu ko ne: “Maa ngi dem baay,” waaye demu ca.

²⁹ He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.

³⁰ Gannaaw gi, baay ba ñëw ca ñaareel ba, wax ko noonu. Mu tontu ko ne: “Bëgguma caa dem,” waaye gannaaw loolu xelam soppiku, mu dem ca.»

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

³¹ Noonu Yeesu laaj leen: «Kan ci ñaari doom yooyu moo def coobareg baayam?» Ñu ne: «Ñaareel bi.» Kon Yeesu ne leen: «Ci dëgg maa ngi leen koy wax, juutikat yi ak jigéeni moykat yi ñoo leen jëkk a dugg ci nguuru Yàlla Aji Kawe ji.

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.

³² Ndaxte Yaxya ñëw na ci yéen ci yoonu njub, te gëmuleen ko; waaye juutikat yi ak jigéeni moykat yi gëm nañu ko. Te gannaaw bi ngeen gisee loolu, seen xel soppikuwul sax, ba ngeen gëm ko.»

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.

³³ Yeesu teg ca ne: «Dégluleen beneen léeb. Amoon na fi benn boroom kër bu jëmbët toolu réseñ. Mu ñag tool bi, gas ci biir pax, ngir nal ci réseñ yi. Mu tabax wottukaay, batale ko ay beykat, daldi tukki.

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.

³⁴ «Bi nga xamee ne bëgg nañoo witt réseñ yi, mu yónni ay surgaam ci beykat yi, ngir jot wàllam ci meññeef mi.

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

³⁵ Waaye beykat yi jàpp surga yi, kenn ki ñu dóor ko ay yar, keneen ki ñu rey ko, ki ci des ñu sànni ko ay doj.

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

³⁶ Boroom kër gi nag yónniwaat yeneen surga yu ëpp yu jëkk ya, beykat yi def leen noonu ñoom itam.

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

³⁷ Mujj mu yónni doomam naan: “Xëy na ñu weg sama doom.”

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

³⁸ Waaye bi beykat yi gisee doom ji, ñu ne ci seen bopp: “Kii moo war a donn tool bi; nan ko rey, moom ndonoom.”

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.’

³⁹ Ñu jàpp ko nag, génne ko tool bi, rey ko.»

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

⁴⁰ Noonu Yeesu laaj leen: «Bu boroom tool bi ñëwee nag, na muy def beykat yi?»

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

⁴¹ Ñu ne ko: «Dina rey reyin wu ñaaw nit ñu soxor ñooñu, batale tool bi yeneen beykat, yi koy jox wàllam ci jamonoy meññeef.»

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.”

⁴² Kon Yeesu ne leen: «Xanaa musuleen a jàng lii ci Mbind yi?“Doj wi tabaxkat yi sànni;mujj na di doju koñ;ci Boroom bi la loolu jóge,te yéemu nanu ci.”

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

⁴³ «Loolu moo tax maa ngi leen koy wax, dinañu leen xañ nguuru Yàlla, dénk ko xeet wuy def ay jëfam.

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.

⁴⁴ Ku dal ci doj wii, dammtoo; ku mu dal ci sa kaw, rajaxe la.»

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

⁴⁵ Bi nga xamee ne saraxalekat yu mag ya ak Farisen ya dégg nañu léebam yooyu, ñu xam ne ñoom lay wax.

⁴⁵When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.

⁴⁶ Noonu ñu di ko fexee jàpp, waaye ragal nañu nit ña, ndaxte ñépp teg nañu ko ab yonent.

⁴⁶When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
