Eboo bɛghaa-Zɛɛb, nɛ bɛghaŋ ɛ mɛkana mɛ etsi, zɛnɔɔ bɛpaa ɛ eYuda, zokazɛtuula é di'enek.BSBBSB: One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.
2. 2BKWBɛ eezɛdji Yezu náá: «Kɔ eghɛŋ zɛ wɔ di esa etɛp binek? Ɛzɛ djɛ wɔ ghwyil ɛsa deenek?»BSBBSB: “Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”
3. 3BKWYezu eezɛbɔɔza nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Mɛ pookodji bin kiya wat. Bi ɛ bɔɔza mɛ ɔ, ye ɛ́ mɛ ka lɛɛ bin étɛp yé mɛ di nɛ ghwyil ɛsa esesɛɛ bak.BSBBSB: “I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:
4. 4BKWƐzɛ nadhis Zaŋ, nyɛ zɛduu bot Zɛɛb? Ye nabɛ ɛ́ Zɛɛb ohoo ye nabɛ ɛ́ mot?»BSBBSB: John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”
5. 5BKWÉ di'enek, bɛ moo tin ɛ́, é sɔs pak'ɔɔ. Bɔɔ náá: «Mena ɛ ke nenak náá: “Ye ɛ́ Zɛɛb” ɔ, nyɛ ɛ́ waadji mena náá: “Étɛp yé bi nadi ààmyaal Zaŋ?”BSBBSB: They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
6. 6BKWMena ɛ ka keka náá: “Ye ɛ́ bot ɛ nadhis nyɔ” ɔ, mɛdhuu mɛ bot bak djas ɛ́ waasaa ɛgó mena nɛ mɛkok. Etɛɛ náá, bɔɔ djas nɛ myaal náá, Zaŋ nabɛ ɛ́ ngoolel-mɛkpa ɛ Zɛɛb.»BSBBSB: But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
7. 7BKWBɛ ɛ́ boozɛbɔɔza nɛ Yezu náá: «Bisɔ ààgu mot nalwom nyɛ náá, nyɛ zɛduu bot Zɛɛb ɔ.»BSBBSB: So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
8. 8BKWTin, Yezu ɛ́ boozɛbɔɔza nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Dɔɔ nɛ mam pe mam aanàkwaalɛɛ bin kɔ eghɛŋ e zɛ mɛ di esa esesɛɛ bak ɔ.»BSBBSB: And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
9. 9BKWBhii tak, Yezu zɛlii nɛ ɛdhuu ɛ bot binɔk tɔ kana náá: «Dhiiti mot ngɔt naabɛ pyeeb ekel e di djɛ bhum vin ɛ. Bhii tak, nyɛ eezɛkola yɛ nɛ bot ɛ di gu mɛsa mɛ vin ɔ étɛp bɛ neesa mɛsa tɔ tak. Nyɛ eezɛnɔɔ nyel, tɔ́ mɛdjoŋ, kɛbɔya pɛ dhiiti dɛl.BSBBSB: Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.
10. 10BKWTin, yɛ wum ɔ, da nyɛ ɛ́ lwom dhiiti mot-mɛsa mɛ étɛp bɛ djɛ nyɛ yɛ bim tɔ yii bɛ aabela ɛ. Mbu epyeeb e tak di wum ɛ, eezɛkum.

É di'enek, wɔ gwaa bot ɛ nalik nɛ pyeeb ɔ mɛt mot tak, duma nyɛ e nyel nɛ mɛbin, bhii tak swaal nyɛ mɛmbɔ toto.BSBBSB: At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.
11. 11BKWBhis mot sok, nakuma pyeeb baazɛlwom dhiiti mot di esa mɛsa pɛ daa lɛ ɔ, nyɛ eezɛtɔ́ pɛ daa lɔɔ tɔ pyeeb, bɛ eezɛnyuu nyɛ, zɛnyek nyɛ ɛbiyoɛpe.BSBBSB: So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
12. 12BKWYak kɔkɔ tyee esok elɛl, nakuma pyeeb eebaazɛlwom nwyak mot, bɔɔ duma nyɛ e nyel nɛ mɛbin, wus nyɛ pɛ kel.BSBBSB: Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
13. 13BKWNakuma pyeeb eezɛdji náá: “Mɛ sa dáa? Mɛ aaka kyeed ɛ́, sim mɔn'am ngɔt mɛ dyeebakwyɛl ɔ. Tin, mɛ bee ɛ náá, bɛ waakaab nyɛ.”BSBBSB: ‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’
14. 14BKWDáa bot ɛ di sa mɛsa tɔ pyeebɛ nabee mɔn'enɔk ɛ, bɔɔ náá: “Yawee! Beeka mot aalik nɛ mɛvu mak djas ɔ! Dhaaka, mena góka nyɛ. Tin, mɛvu mak aadi ɛ́, yenabɛlka.”BSBBSB: But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
15. 15BKWWɔ gwaa bɛ zɛmɛt nyɛ, mwas nyɛ bhis pyeeb vin, gó nyɛ.» Tin, Yezu eezɛdji bɛ náá: «É di'enek, nakuma pyeeb goka nɛ ɛsa yé? Nyɛ eebil náá:BSBBSB: So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16. 16BKWNyɛ waazyɛ, da nyɛ ɛ́ gó bot ɛ nadi sa mɛsa tɔ pyeebɛ ɔ. Bhii tak da nyɛ ɛ́ nɔɔ pyeeb, djɛ nɛ bot ɛsis.» Bhis bot nagwak deenek ɛ, bɛ ɛ́ boozɛke náá: «Ààbɛ! Yenek aanàkwaasael.»BSBBSB: He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”
17. 17BKWBhii tak Yezu eezɛliig mis, gwyák bɛ. Nyɛy nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Mɛkpa mɛ di kwyala tɔ mɛkana'aak kwyɛl ɛlɛɛ yé “Ɛkok ee bɛzumel mwas ɛ, moo ɛ́ ɛkok di epyet ndjaŋ ɛ”?BSBBSB: But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
18. 18BKWMot aaduma kɔ ɛkok ɛ tak ɔ, nyɛ waabik ekyes ekyes. Yɛ kabɛ náá, ɛkok ɛ ka kwyit kɔ mot ɔ, yenɔk mot aatwaalel ɛ́ twaalela.»BSBBSB: Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
19. 19BKWTin, bɛghaŋ ɛ mɛkana mɛ etsi, nɛ eboo bɛghaa-Zɛɛb nadi esaa mɛpek étɛp bɛ neemɛt Yezu e di tak wat. Etɛɛ náá, bɛ nabɛ ɛ́, é gu náá, Yezu nalɛɛ kana tak ɛ́, kɔ ɛsu ɛ lɔɔ. Tin, bɛ nadi kaab ɛ́ ɛdhuu ɛ bot ɛ nadi tin ɔ.BSBBSB: When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.
20. 20BKWBɛ moo tin ebɔŋal Yezu. É di'enek, wɔ gwaa, bɛ zɛdhis bɛdhiiti bot ɛ nadi sa mɛpek náá, bɛ ɛ́ bɛdhil ɛ bot ɔ.

They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.
21. 21BKWBɛ ɛ́ boozɛke nɛ nɛ náá: «Lyoel, bis nɛ gu náá, etɛp ee wɔ di lɛɛ ɛ, ye ɛ́ tsɛɛtsɛ. Wɔy ààpɛ́ɛ tɛp mot djhak. Wɔy lyo ɛ, sa Zɛɛb kwyɛl ɛ, nɛ lyem epiki.BSBBSB: “Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
22. 22BKWTinaak, lɛɛa bis, etsi lɛɛ ɛ́ náá, epata e lapo tuudaa ɛ́ nɛ Sezaad ee?»BSBBSB: Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23. 23BKWTin, Yezu eezɛgu mɛpek mɔɔ. Bhii tak nyɛ ɛ́ booke nɛ nɔɔ náá:BSBBSB: But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,
24. 24BKW«Dhaaka mɛ nɛ falanga wat, étɛp mɛ neebee. Bɛ eezɛzyɛ nyɛ nɛ falanga wat. Yezu eezɛdji bɛ náá: bhwoob di sɔna kɔ falanga yak ɛ wak bhwoob zɛ? Ye ɛ́ ekwyala din ɛ ɛzɛ di kɔ tak?» Bot binɔk eezɛbɔɔza nɛ nɛ náá: «Ye ɛ́ bhwoob nɛ din ɛ Sezaad.»BSBBSB: “Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
25. 25BKWBhii tak, Yezu eebaazɛbɔɔza nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Djɛka Sezaad sa di yɛ Sezaad ɛ; da bi ɛ́ djɛ Zɛɛb sa di yɛ Zɛɛb ɛ.»BSBBSB: So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
26. 26BKWKɔkɔ ɛyala ɛ Yezu nayala ɛ, nabɛ ɛ́, ye naalyel nɛ nɔɔ náá, bɛ bela mɛsɔ̌ mɛ nyɛ aabela ndjɛ e tak ɛ. Etɛɛ náá, gwaka bɛ nagwak deenek ɛ, ye nabɛ ɛ́ bɛ nadiaa djoka nyɛ ɛlyelɛpe, tin, bɛ eezɛdi gwyem.BSBBSB: And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
27. 27BKWBɛdhiiti bot tɔ lɔɔg eSaduseɛ zokazyɛ pɛ dáa Yezu zɛdji nyɛ dhiiti kiya. ESaduseɛ, bot ɛ nadi eke náá, bhis ɛsyee, mot aanàkwaabaagom ɔ,BSBBSB: Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
28. 28BKWbɔɔ nɛ Yezu náá: «Lyoel, mɛkana mɛ Moiiz lɛɛ náá: “Yɛ bɛ náá, mɔn nyɛɛg dhiiti mot ɛ gwyɛ, ààlik mɔn ɔ, ye goka ɛ́ náá, mɔn nyɛɛg lik ɔ, ba kus myɛl étɛp nyɛ neekwyiida mɔn nyɛɛg gwyɛ ààlik bɔn ɔ.”BSBBSB: “Teacher,” they said, “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.
29. 29BKWGhuna tɔ mɔ bot binɔk, bɛ nabɛ ɛ́ bɛtɛn nɛ bɛbá. Mɔn mɛgwyak zɛba, nyɛ eezɛkpaa nɛ mɛsyee, gwyɛ, nyɛ ààpakalik mɔn.BSBBSB: Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.
30. 30BKWMot nabɔɔba mɔn mɛgwyak ɔ, nyɛ eeba kus.BSBBSB: Then the second
31. 31BKWTin, nyɛ eebaakpaa nɛ mɛsyee, gwyɛ, ààlik bɔn. Bhii tak, nwyak tak eebaazɛnɔɔ moma tak, ye zokabaasael ɛ́ tyee wat nɛ bot ɛ naba moma tak sok ɔ, zɛnɔɔ zwaabel lɔɔg.

32. 32BKWBhis bɔɔ djas, moma eezɛbaagwyɛ yɛ pe.BSBBSB: And last of all, the woman died.
33. 33BKWEsok bot aagom bhis ɛsyee ɛ, moma yenɔk aakadi mwaa zɛ tɔ bɔɔ bɛtɛn nɛ bɛbá? Etɛɛ náá, bɔɔ djas nabɛ ɛ́ botom bɛ.»BSBBSB: So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
34. 34BKWYezu eezɛbɔɔza nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Mɛba ɛ́, étɛp botom nɛ boa di kɔ bɔs'ak mos'aak.BSBBSB: Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.
35. 35BKWTin, guka náá: Botom nɛ boa aabela mbyok ɛgom bhis ɛsyee, da bɛ ɛ́ kɛdi pɛ kyee dik na bes ɔ, bɛ aakadi ɛ́, botom nɛ boa di ààbael ɔ.BSBBSB: But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.
36. 36BKWBɛ aanàkwaakabaagwyɛ, bɛ aakadi ɛ́ dáa efofop. Bɛ ɛ́ bɔɔ Zɛɛb, etɛɛ náá, bɛ eezedhaa ɛsyee, kɛbela tsik.BSBBSB: In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
37. 37BKWMoiiz naalɛɛ popoopwon náá: Bot ɛ nazegwyɛ ɔ waagom. Nyɛ nalɛɛ deenek ɛ́ tɔ ekwyala ee di kaada tɛp ɛkpak nadi é gel ààdyak ɛ. Nyɛ nadjóo Ghɛŋ ɛ́: “Zɛɛb ɛ Abalaam, yɛ Izak, nɛ yɛ Zakɔɔb.”»BSBBSB: Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38. 38BKWYezu naabil náá: «Zɛɛb tok Zɛɛb bot ɛ zegwyɛ ɔ. Nyɛ ɛ́ Zɛɛb bot ɛ di nɛ tsik ɔ, etɛɛ náá, ye ɛ́, étɛp'ɛ ɛ, bot djas di nɛ tsik.»BSBBSB: He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”
39. 39BKWWɔ gwaa bɛdhiiti bɛghaa mɛkana mɛ etsi nadi tin ɔ zokake nɛ Yezu náá: «Lyoel, wɔ eedyeebalii ɛnyɔɛpe.»BSBBSB: Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”
40. 40BKWDeenek, bɛ nabɛ ɛ́ ààbɛ nɛ ghwyil ɛdji nyɛ bɛdhiiti mɛkiya.BSBBSB: And they did not dare to question Him any further.
41. 41BKWTin, Yezu eezɛke nɛ nɔɔ náá: «Dum nɛ yé bot di ke náá, Mɛsia ɛ́ dha ɛ Dhavid?BSBBSB: Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
42. 42BKWEtɛɛ náá, ye ɛ́ Dhavid nyɛ ɛmet ɛ nalɛɛ tɔ Mɛkana mɛ Mɛdjeeb náá: “Ghɛŋ Zɛɛb nake nɛ Ghɛŋ'am ɛ náá: Dha disi pɛ mbɔ eghɛŋ bam.BSBBSB: For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

44. 44BKWYɛ bɛ náá, Dhavid nyɛ ɛmet naadjóo nyɛ “Ghɛŋ” ɔ, ha e yaa tyɛ Mɛsia aakabaadi dha ɛ Dhavid?»BSBBSB: Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
45. 45BKWDáa zukamwaa nɛ mot nadi tin ɛ nadi é gwak nyɛ ɛ́, Yezu eezɛke nɛ bɛdjekel bɛ náá:BSBBSB: In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.
