Mark 12 (CTH) · Opened

1Hatnavah, bangnuenae hoi a dei pouh. Tami buet touh ni misur takha buet touh a sak. Koung a tumdum hnukkhu misurpaw katin nahane tangkom hai a tai teh, takha ring nahane imrasang hai buet touh sut a sak. Takha hah takhakatawkkungnaw a hlai sak teh, alouke ram lah a cei.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.

2Atue a pha toteh, takhakatawkkungnaw koehoi misurpaw la hanelah, takhakatawkkungnaw koe a san buet touh a patoun.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Ahnimanaw ni, san hah a hem awh teh, kuthrawng hoi a pâban awh.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Alouke san hah bout a patoun navah, talung hoi a lû dawk a dei awh teh, yeirai a po sak awh teh, a pâban awh.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Alouke san hah bout a patoun navah, a thei awh. Alouke sannaw bout a patoun navah, a tangawn a hem awh, a tangawn a thei awh.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6Takha ka pahren e ni a capa buet touh ao rah dawkvah, ahnimouh ni ka capa teh a bari awh han doeh a titeh, a capa hah a hnukteng vah a patoun.Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7Hatei, takhakatawkkungnaw niyah, ahni heh râw ka coe hane doeh, tho awh, thet a sei. Hat pawiteh doeh ahnie râw hah maimouh ni coe ati, ati awh.But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Hatdawkvah, takha katawnkung e capa hah a man awh, a thei awh teh, takha alawilah a tâkhawng awh.So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9Hottelah boipawiteh, takhakatawnkung ni bangtelamaw ati han. Takhakatawkkungnaw hah koung thet vaiteh, hote takha hah alouke takhakatawkkungnaw koe a poe han.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Im kasakkung ni, a pahnawt e talung hah phukaawm poung e takin lung lah bout ao. Hot hateh, Cathut ni doeh a sak.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11Maimae mithmu hai kângairu hanlah ao tie hah Cakathoung dawk na touk boi awh hoeh maw atipouh.This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Hahoi, vaihma bawinaw, Kâlawk kacangkhainaw, tami kacuenaw ni hote bangnuenae teh maimouh doeh na dei ngai nah tie a panue awh toteh, Jisuh man nahanelah kho a pouk awh. Hatei, kamkhueng e tamihupui hah a taki awh dawkvah, haw hoi alouklah a kâkhoe awh.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.

13Hat hoiyah, yon pen nahanelah, Farasinaw hoi Herod e a taminaw teh Jisuh koe a patoun awh.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Ahnimouh ni rek a hnai awh teh, Bawipa nang teh tamikalan lah na o. Apihai takinae na tawn hoeh. Tami e minhmai khen laipalah Cathut e lamthung lawkkatang hah na cangkhai e ka panue awh. Hatdawkvah, Sizar siangpahrang koe tamuk poe kawi maw. Poe kawi hoeh maw. Kaimouh ni ka poe awh han maw. Ka poe awh mahoeh maw telah a pacei awh.“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?”

15Bawipa ni ahnimae dumyennae hah a panue dawkvah, nangmouh ni bangkongmaw kai na tanouk awh. Hate tangka hah hi sin awh haw, ka khenhaw nei atipouh.But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Ahnimouh ni a poe awh navah, apie min hoi mei maw ka kamnuek vaw telah a pacei navah, ahnimouh ni Sizar siangpahrang e min hoi mei doeh atipouh awh.So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Jisuh ni Sizar siangpahrang e hno teh Sizar poe awh. Cathut e hno teh Cathut poe awh, atipouh e hah ahnimouh ni kângai lah a ru awh.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Duenae koehoi boutthawnae awm hoeh ka tet e Sadusinaw ni Jisuh koe a tho awh teh,Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19Bawipa, tami buetbuet touh niyah ca tawn laipalah, a yu dout takhai pawiteh, a misa a thup hoeh nahanelah, a nawngha ni let awmkhai seh telah Mosi ni a thut.“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.

20A hmaunawngha sari touh ao awh. A camin ni hmaloe a yu lah a la teh, ca sak laipalah a due takhai.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21A nawngha ni patuen a okhai teh ca sak laipalah bout a due takhai. Apâthum e ni hai bout a due takhai.Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22Hottelah, buet touh hnukkhu buet touh a due takhai awh teh, hmaunawngha sari touh ni ca sak a laipalah, hote napui hah be a due takhai awh. A hnukteng vah hote napui hai a due van.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Boutthawnae tue a pha toteh, ahnimanaw hai bout a thaw awh toteh, hote napui hah apie yu lah maw ao han. Hmaunawngha sari touh ni hote napui hah a yu lah a okhai awh toe telah a pacei awh.In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Jisuh ni nangmouh teh Cakathoung na thai panuek awh hoeh. Cathut bahu hai na panue awh hoeh dawkvah, na tawm payon awh.Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Duenae koehoi bout thaw toteh, yuvânae awm mahoeh. Kâpaluennae, kâhânae awm mahoeh. kalvan kho e kalvantaminaw patetlah o awh han atipouh.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Hothloilah, kadoutnaw boutthawnae dawkvah, Cathut ni kai teh Abraham e Cathut, Isak e Cathut, Jakop e Cathut lah ka o telah, hmai kang e buruk thung hoi Mosi koe a dei e hah Mosi e cauk dawk na touk awh boi hoeh maw.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’?

27Cathut teh kadoutnaw e Cathut na hoeh. Kahringnaw e Cathut doeh. Hatdawkvah nangmouh teh, puenghoi na payon awh atipouh.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Hottelah a kâoun awh e hah cakathutkung buet touh ni a thai teh, Jisuh ni kalan lah bout a dei e hah a hmu navah, ama koe rek a hnai teh, kâpoelawknaw thung dawk bangpatet e kâlawk maw alawkpui poung lah kaawm telah a pacei.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?”

29Jisuh ni kâlawknaw thung dawk apasuek e teh, Oe Isarelnaw thai awh haw, maimae Cathut dueng doeh Cathut lah kaawm.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Na Cathut teh na lungthin abuemlah, na muitha abuemlah, na pouknae abuemlah, na thaonae abuemlah hoi lungpataw, tie teh apasuekpoung e kâpoelawk lah ao.Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Hothloilah, na imri hah nama patetlah lungpataw ati e apâhni e kâpoelawk teh apasueke hoi a kâvan. Het hlak kalen e kâpoelawk awm hoeh telah bout atipouh.The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Kâlawk ka cangkhai e nihai, Bawipa na dei e teh lawkkatang doeh, ahawipoung. Cathut dueng doeh Cathut lah kaawm.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Hote Cathut hloilah alouke Cathut awm hoeh. Hote Cathut hah lungthin abuemlah, thaipanueknae abuemlah, thaonae abuemlah, hahoi mahoima patetlah imri hah lungpatawnae teh hmaisawi thuengnae hoi thuengnae pueng hlak hai ahawi telah a dei.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.”

34Hottelah a lawk tho e hah Jisuh ni ahawi tie a panue toteh Cathut uknaeram hoi na hlat hoeh telah atipouh. Hahoi, apinihai bout pacei ngam awh hoeh toe.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.

35Jisuh ni bawkim thung a cangkhai lahun navah, Messiah teh Devit e capa doeh telah bangkongmaw cakathutkungnaw ni ati a vaw.While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Devit ni muitha lahoi a dei e teh, Cathut ni na tarannaw hah na khok rahim ka ta hoehroukrak kaie aranglah tahung haw telah ka Bawipa hanelah atipouh.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.”’

37Devit ni Messiah hanelah Bawipa tet pouh pawiteh bangtelamaw Messiah teh Devit capa lah ao thai han vaw. Tami maya ni lunghawicalah hoi a dei e lawk hah rip a thai awh.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Hottelah a cangkhai navah Jisuh ni cakathutkungnaw heh roun awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh angkidung kho hoi kâhlai hane a ngai awh. Hnopai yonae hmuen koe tami pueng ni bari e hah a ngai awh.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,

39Sinakok vah tahungnae a rasangnae koe a ngai awh teh, pawi canae koe vah, bari kaawm e hmuen koe tahung a ngai awh.and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Lahmai napuinaw e im hah a lawp awh teh, a yon kamnuek vaih titeh, ka saw poung lah a ratoum awh. Ahnimouh teh hoe kalen e yonphukhangnae a kâhmo awh han atipouh.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Hahoi Jisuh teh tangkabom koelah a kangvawi teh, a tahung navah taminaw ni tangka a pâseng awh e hah a khet. Ka tawnta e naw teh ka pap a pâseng awh.As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Ka roedeng e lahmainu buet touh a tho teh, rahum tangka phek touh e kahni touh a pâseng van.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Bawipa ni a hnukkâbangnaw hah a kaw teh, atangcalah na dei pouh awh. Tangka bom thung kapâsengnaw thung dawkvah, hote lahmainu ni hoe kapap a pâseng toe, atipouh.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.

44Bangkongtetpawiteh, alouke pueng ni teh a tawn awh e thung dawk hoi a pâseng awh. Hatei, hote lahmainu teh a mathoe ei, a kâkawk nahane a tawn e pueng hah a pâseng toe, atipouh.For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
