Mark 12 (BGG) · Opened

1Isu è ithek shii najang shan ne yao: Luangjia shii bran jia è angur raig hai, chiih-è raig shii shan ne muthua thua srane, angur shii chab ne chui ne ikho rey pha nyahiung chog, chiih-è riigpho shii rai yi pha haliig giu jia rab phro. Chiihphado è angur raig cheipho shii phi srane hò thoh marui ne lua dun.Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a wine vat, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.

2Angur khrab pha ishak thog mage shii, cheipho è awai mathang yamiing yi pha ai è awai khiao shii thoh ge phro.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Raig cheipho è khiao ji shii zum srane zuang mage, chiih-è nyie de aphi pha idoh thoh din ge.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Chiihphado shii muspho è khiao gai shii thoh ge; raig cheipho è aishii de khrug lakhung shii zuang srane biwo rek ne thoh ge.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Jipha muspho è dinne gai khiao thoh ge, chiih-è aishii de ua muii phro; chiih-è ithek gai shii duiine bajo awie pha rek phro, chiih-è giak shii zuang ne giak shii ne ua muii phro.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6Idoh noi shii jia led dang bie ne thoh ge pha ji ne awai è miie pha awairo dufuii ro, ai è awai dufuii shii cheipho hà thoh ge, ai è yao, gune luthong phro ithek ne gu dufuii shii ne ilab phi phro.Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7Jishii cheipho è awaithek chung yao rai, hì ne muspho ro dufuii ro. Thawuii ne ua rai haro, chiih-è ai ro nuruii thek ne gethek ro rey phro!But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Ji-è, ithek ne dufuii shii zum srane ua ne chiih-è cheipho è ai siu shii angur raig è fuang fen muii phro.So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9Isu è sai, “Chiihphado shii, muspho è cheipho shii nyie rek phlei?” Ai ne wuii ne ua srane raig gai cheipho shii phi muii phro.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Nathek de hì pha jigigam atham bey? Rungpho è lubao awie rone snai muii pha ji shii ne zab è de mugak re dun phro.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11Jine Ithong mirek ro, jine bajo wie pha mieg shii ro.This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Jewish dumuiithek ne Isu shii zum pha bidiang phro, nyieliieshii ithek ne thieg ai miyao najang shan ne ithek gidieg shii yao phrone thieg, jishii ithek ne ibrogthek rum, jiè ithek aishii thoh marui ne rek dun.At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.

13Pharisithek chiih-è Herod pha branthek yi Isu hà thoh ge srane musai rog shii chua phro.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Ithek aishii wuii srane sai, “Masdo, gathek ne thieg nane izai yao phro, nane branthek è nyie now na de sam-adiig pha yao phro, branthek ro ilab shii de nyie ilab aphi pha rek ro. Jishii branthek shii Hamangkhung-aphuii muyang pha chiang shii nane izai yao phro, Gathek shii yua riig bo Romanthek saja dumuii shii mijin phi pha ji ne gethek Iphey shii buii bey? Gathek ne ithek shii nyaphi ne ba asi aphi chiid haba?”“Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”

15Jishii Isu è ithek ro khua ji è riig srane chang, “Nathek nyie rek ne gu shii chua pha bidiang phlei? Bang shikhi jia yi mage bo, chiih-è gu riig-riig haro.”But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Ithek è aishii jia yi ne phi, chiih-è ai è sai, “Hanyie mizia chiih-è hanyie ibeng lei.” Ithek è chang, “Hì ne Roman thek saja dumuii ro ro.”So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Isu è ithek shii yao, “Chiihphado, hì ne wie ro, nyie yi saja dumuii è re pha ji ne saja dumuii shii phi muii bo, chiih-è nyie yi Hamangkhung-aphuii è re pha ji ne Hamangkhung-aphuii shii phi muii bo.” Chiih-è ithek ne Isu shii wiengphleg dun ro.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Chiihphado shii Sadusithek hanyie è iy pha ji è ahòi phrone yao phothek ne Isu moe shii wuii srane yao,Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19Masdo, Moses è hì pha Iphey ne gathek shii zey phi phro: Bran jia è yiy yi ne, ani agiak pha iy dun, ai ikhuii è ji pha misiung shii yiy ne ani giak arone, ji pha ani ne iy dun pha ro nyare yi bo.“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

20Luangjia shii khuiino miley um; zab è khoh ji è yiy yi srane ani agiak pha iy dun.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21Chiihphado shii din pha ikhuii ji è de ji pha hò-amuii shii yiy, chiih-è ai de ani agiak pha iy dun. Uomchiieng pha khuii shii de ithek shii nyie re pha ji duiine re phro,Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22chiih-è chiihphado shii gai thek, zab khuiino miley è ji pha hò-amuii shii yiy srane ani agiak pha iy dun. Zab pha idoh shii ji pha hò-amuii de iy dun.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Chiihphado shii, iy pho yi zab hòi pha Inai sieng mage shii, ithek miley è yiy pha hò-amuii ji ne, hanyie ro yiy re phlei?In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Isu è ithek shii chang, “Nathek ne asi pha branthek ara! Nyieliieshii nathek ne hì pha Hamangkhung-aphuii ro jigigam chiih-è ai riichai shii athieg mua phro.Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Iy pho thek hòi din mage shii, ithek ne, hamangkhliie duiine re ne hamangkhung hà ne yiy ayiy phro.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Iy pho ne hòi ruii phro, ithek ne jabiing hòi pha Moses ro Jigigam ji shii atham bey? Thiichiih shii zey phro Hamangkhung-aphuii è Moses shii yao, ‘Gune Abraham ro Hamangkhung-aphuii ro, Isakh ro Hamangkhung-aphuii ro, chiih-è Jakhob ro Hamangkhung-aphuii ro’ Ai è ji yao shii ne bajo idam ibi hà ithek ne iy jong ro.But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

27Hamangkhung-aphuii ne branthek ro Hamangkhung-aphuii ro, jiè hanyie iy dun magunde thuh de isieng ba ro, jishii iy pho ro asi ro. Nathek ne zab adunmey pha now ro!”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Thiichiih shii um pha Iphey yua pha masdo jia è ithek mulo ramuii pha yoi. Ai è Isu yi Sadusithek shii ne wie è chang pha doh, jiè ai ne Isu shii musai sai: “Nyie muyung ne zab è de mugak ba lei?”Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

29Isu è aishii chang, “Zab è mugak muyung ne hì ro, ‘Israel pho! yoi mage bo, gethek ro Ithong Hamangkhung-aphuii ne jia bie ro.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Nawai Hamangkhung-aphuii shii nawai lubu è, nawaithek ragung è, nawaithek khani è, nawaithek chua rog shii è miie mage bo.’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Chiih-è nyichiieng pha mugak muyung ne hì ro: ‘Nawaithek ro hadung-haluii pho shii de nawaithek chung miie rai pha duiine miie bo.’ Thiichiih è ne nyi ji è boh gai mugak muyung oi sha ro.”The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Iphey yua pha masdo ji è Isu shii yao, masdo! “Wie ro, hì ne izai chak ro, na è yao pha ji ne, Ithong ne Hamangkhung-aphuii bie ro, chiih-è, gai Hamangkhung-aphuii ne oi ro, jishii ai jia bie ro”“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Chiih-è branthek ne Hamangkhung-aphuii shii awaithek lubu è awaithek khani è awaithek chua è miie chiid phro, chiih-è awaithek shii miie pha duiine hadung-haluii pho shii de miie chiid phro. Hì pha muyung nyi nuii ne rek pha ne miiram ua ne Hamangkhung-aphuii shii khlem ne zid phi pha ji è de bajo boh muyung ba ro.and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34Isu è nuii shii ji pha bran miyao ne wie ro, “Na ne Hamangkhung-aphuii ro Sajathua è muna ruang asi sha phro.” Ji è yao ched mage ne zab ne rum ne Isu shii musai asai mua.When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.

35Isu ne Hamangkhung-aphuii ro Misiahò shii miyao yua ne rai srane branthek shii musai jia sai ruii, nyie khi-èrek ne Iphey yua pha masdothek ne Masi ne Dawid Saja pha riing rone yao mua phlei?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Dawid shii Hamangkhung-aphuii ro Ragung è yao yi phro: Ithong è gu Ithong shii yao; Gu è na shuangthek shii gu lai luii aruii sapho ne Na ne guro phazoi pha riichai ithua shii dug bo.Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

37Dawid awai de aishii ne Ithong rone ho, jiè nyie khi-èrek ne Masi ne Dawid ro riing re mage phlei? Bran ibrogthek ne Isu miyao ji sang ne nuiiramuii ro.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Isu è ithek shii yua, ai è yao, “Iphey yua pha masdothek è ragia rek ne rai bo, ithek ne yung phiang rog shii lua ne branthek shii riig yi pha bajarai ithua hà ilab phi yi pha rek phro.In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,

39Misiahò hà wuii ne de ithek ne mugak biang shii ong ne chiih-è michie-chie pha ithua shii biang wie shii ong ne dug phro.and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Ithek ne misiung thek phua yi srane chiih-è ithek hò de rio maphi, chiih-è ithek ne branthek wie rone riig yi pha misia de phiang sia phro. Ithek zab shii ne bajo awie pha re ruii phro!”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Isu yi Hamangkhung-aphuii ro Misiahò pha mizid gam moe shii dug ne rai ramuii shii, ai è bukho branthek ne bajo bang zid pha doh ruii;As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42chiihphado shii dusho misiungmuii jia wuii ne bang ìujia chab phro.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Ji è doh mage ne Isu è awai samoythek shii awai moe shii ho srane yao, “Gune nathek shii izai yao dang phro, hì pha dusho misiung ne mizid pha gam ne bran shii gai re-è ne zab è de bajo muna zid phro.Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.

44Gai thek ne awaithek shii nyie um pha ji è ìujia yi srane zid bie phro, jishii ai ne dusho magunde awaishii nyie um thith pha ji yi srane zab zid muii phro.”For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
