1Et cum appropinquassent Jerosolymis, et venissent Bethphage ad montem Oliveti: tunc Jesus misit duos discipulos,
1And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2dicens eis: Ite in castellum, quod contra vos est, et statim invenietis asinam alligatam, et pullum cum ea: solvite, et adducite mihi:
2Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me.
3et si quis vobis aliquid dixerit, dicite quia Dominus his opus habet: et confestim dimittet eos.
3And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them: and forthwith he will let them go.
4Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per prophetam dicentem:
4Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
5[Dicite filiæ Sion: Ecce rex tuus venit tibi mansuetus, sedens super asinam, et pullum filium subjugalis.]
5Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.
6Euntes autem discipuli fecerunt sicut præcepit illis Jesus.
6And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.
7Et adduxerunt asinam, et pullum: et imposuerunt super eos vestimenta sua, et eum desuper sedere fecerunt.
7And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon.
8Plurima autem turba straverunt vestimenta sua in via: alii autem cædebant ramos de arboribus, et sternebant in via:
8And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way:
9turbæ autem, quæ præcedebant, et quæ sequebantur, clamabant, dicentes: Hosanna filio David: benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini: hosanna in altissimis.
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.
10Et cum intrasset Jerosolymam, commota est universa civitas, dicens: Quis est hic?
10And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this?
11Populi autem dicebant: Hic est Jesus propheta a Nazareth Galilææ.
11And the people said: This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.
12Et intravit Jesus in templum Dei, et ejiciebat omnes vendentes et ementes in templo, et mensas numulariorum, et cathedras vendentium columbas evertit:
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 money changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves:
13et dicit eis: Scriptum est: Domus mea domus orationis vocabitur: vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronum.
13And he saith to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.
14Et accesserunt ad eum cæci, et claudi in templo: et sanavit eos.
14And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple; and he healed them.
15Videntes autem principes sacerdotum et scribæ mirabilia quæ fecit, et pueros clamantes in templo, et dicentes: Hosanna filio David: indignati sunt,
15And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying: Hosanna to the son of David; were moved with indignation.
16et dixerunt ei: Audis quid isti dicunt? Jesus autem dixit eis: Utique. Numquam legistis: Quia ex ore infantium et lactentium perfecisti laudem?
16And said to him: Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yea, have you never read: Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17Et relictis illis, abiit foras extra civitatem in Bethaniam: ibique mansit.
17And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania, and remained there.
18Mane autem revertens in civitatem, esuriit.
18And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry.
19Et videns fici arborem unam secus viam, venit ad eam: et nihil invenit in ea nisi folia tantum, et ait illi: Numquam ex te fructus nascatur in sempiternum. Et arefacta est continuo ficulnea.
19And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only, and he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away.
20Et videntes discipuli, mirati sunt, dicentes: Quomodo continuo aruit?
20And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?
21Respondens autem Jesus, ait eis: Amen dico vobis, si habueritis fidem, et non hæsitaveritis, non solum de ficulnea facietis, sed et si monti huic dixeritis: Tolle, et jacta te in mare, fiet.
21And Jesus answering, said to them: Amen, I say to you, if you shall have faith, and stagger not, not only this of the fig tree shall you do, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take up and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done.
22Et omnia quæcumque petieritis in oratione credentes, accipietis.
22And in all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
23Et cum venisset in templum, accesserunt ad eum docentem principes sacerdotum, et seniores populi, dicentes: In qua potestate hæc facis? et quis tibi dedit hanc potestatem?
23And when he was come into the temple, there came to him, as he was teaching, the chief priests and ancients of the people, saying: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority?
24Respondens Jesus dixit eis: Interrogabo vos et ego unum sermonem: quem si dixeritis mihi, et ego vobis dicam in qua potestate hæc facio.
24Jesus answering, said to them: I also will ask you one word, which if you shall tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.
25Baptismus Joannis unde erat? e cælo, an ex hominibus? At illi cogitabant inter se, dicentes:
25The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying:
26Si dixerimus, e cælo, dicet nobis: Quare ergo non credidistis illi? Si autem dixerimus, ex hominibus, timemus turbam: omnes enim habebant Joannem sicut prophetam.
26If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? But if we shall say, from men, we are afraid of the multitude: for all held John as a prophet.
27Et respondentes Jesu, dixerunt: Nescimus. Ait illis et ipse: Nec ego dico vobis in qua potestate hæc facio.
27And answering Jesus, they said: We know not. He also said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28Quid autem vobis videtur? Homo quidam habebat duos filios, et accedens ad primum, dixit: Fili, vade hodie, operare in vinea mea.
28But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work today in my vineyard.
29Ille autem respondens, ait: Nolo. Postea autem, pœnitentia motus, abiit.
29And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went.
30Accedens autem ad alterum, dixit similiter. At ille respondens, ait: Eo, domine, et non ivit:
30And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not.
31quis ex duobus fecit voluntatem patris? Dicunt ei: Primus. Dicit illis Jesus: Amen dico vobis, quia publicani et meretrices præcedent vos in regnum Dei.
31Which of the two did the father’s will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you.
32Venit enim ad vos Joannes in via justitiæ, et non credidistis ei: publicani autem et meretrices crediderunt ei: vos autem videntes nec pœnitentiam habuistis postea, ut crederetis ei.
32For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him.
33Aliam parabolam audite: Homo erat paterfamilias, qui plantavit vineam, et sepem circumdedit ei, et fodit in ea torcular, et ædificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est.
33Hear ye another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into a strange country.
34Cum autem tempus fructuum appropinquasset, misit servos suos ad agricolas, ut acciperent fructus ejus.
34And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.
35Et agricolæ, apprehensis servis ejus, alium ceciderunt, alium occiderunt, alium vero lapidaverunt.
35And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36Iterum misit alios servos plures prioribus, et fecerunt illis similiter.
36Again he sent other servants more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.
37Novissime autem misit ad eos filium suum, dicens: Verebuntur filium meum.
37And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.
38Agricolæ autem videntes filium dixerunt intra se: Hic est hæres, venite, occidamus eum, et habebimus hæreditatem ejus.
38But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.
39Et apprehensum eum ejecerunt extra vineam, et occiderunt.
39And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40Cum ergo venerit dominus vineæ, quid faciet agricolis illis?
40When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41Aiunt illi: Malos male perdet: et vineam suam locabit aliis agricolis, qui reddant ei fructum temporibus suis.
41They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end; and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in due season.
42Dicit illis Jesus: Numquam legistis in Scripturis: [Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli: a Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris?]
42Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes.
43Ideo dico vobis, quia auferetur a vobis regnum Dei, et dabitur genti facienti fructus ejus.
43Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.
44Et qui ceciderit super lapidem istum, confringetur: super quem vero ceciderit, conteret eum.
44And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
45Et cum audissent principes sacerdotum et pharisæi parabolas ejus, cognoverunt quod de ipsis diceret.
45And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
46Et quærentes eum tenere, timuerunt turbas: quoniam sicut prophetam eum habebant.
46And seeking to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes: because they held him as a prophet.
