2. 2CUGka bikə i wi a, “Fûku i buku, mi wə wi nya ŋga biələ i wɔ a fə̂ki gia yələ a? A nya ndə ŋga biwɔ i wɔ a?”BSBBSB: “Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”
3. 3CUGJisɔs chukuli i bɔ a, “Mih tə ki bikəki lə kimbikə i mbɛiŋ. Mbɛiŋ fûku mih i liə.BSBBSB: “I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

5. 5CUGBɔ ka dzaka a bɔ bɔ a, “Bukumbɛiŋ ka chukuli a, bi nì nyə i bɛiŋ, ma wi ni bikə i bukumbɛiŋ a, aka fə nə a bukumbɛiŋ ma bum i Jɔn a?BSBBSB: They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
6. 6CUGBukumbɛiŋ ka chukuli a, a nì nya mi wiwɔm, ma mbaŋ wi bəni bələ fa ni tumyi bukumbɛiŋ bəh kitəh, kɔm bɔ bəchi nì bum ŋkɔŋ ŋkɔŋ a, Jɔn nì kɔ mi wi ntum wi Nyɔ.”BSBBSB: But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
7. 7CUGAyakadəiŋ, bɔ ka chukuli a, “Buku kiəki kə mi wə wi nì nya ŋga biwɔ.”BSBBSB: So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
8. 8CUGJisɔs ka dzaka i bɔ a, “Yaka mih tə ki fukuki kə i mbɛiŋ mi wə wi nya ŋga biwɔ i mih a mih fə̂ki gia yələ.”BSBBSB: And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
9. 9CUGJisɔs ka yisi i tiki ndi widɔkɔ i bəni a, “Mi widɔkɔ nì nɔm khə wi mintam wə bə kɛiŋsiki mbih yɛiŋ. Ka nya khə wiwɔ i bəni, ka nyə tsə i tumi kidɔkɔ wə, i tsə nɔ dzɔ fɛiŋ.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. 10CUGJɔbi wə bɔ nì kaŋaki i yisi ŋkɔh dzə kpɛiŋ, tii khə wiwɔ ka faaŋ waiŋ wi wi nɔm, a wi tsə̂ dzɔ̂ mmu mintam i bɔ.

But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.
11. 11CUGMi wiwɔ chu faaŋ waiŋ wi wi nɔm widɔkɔ, ayakalə bɔ chu twɛiŋ wi, ŋgəmsi wi, kɔŋ fiəni wi bəh kaŋ yiyəə.BSBBSB: So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
12. 12CUGMi wiwɔ ka chu faaŋ kpɛiŋsi kiŋkɔmsi kitali widɔkɔ i bɔ, bɔ bɛiŋsi wi, lɔɔ bwili wi i biŋ.BSBBSB: Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
13. 13CUGTii khə wiwɔ kwaka a, ‘Mih ki fəki na dəiŋ a? Mih ki faaŋki i liə num waiŋ wuŋ wi shɔm. Yudɔkɔ bɔ kɔlə i ni kɔ̂ksi wi.’BSBBSB: ‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’
14. 14CUGAyakalə, jɔbi wə bəni bə nɔm bə̀ wi nì nya khə i bɔ yɛiŋ waiŋ wiwɔ dzə, bɔ ka yisi i dzakayiki a bɔ bɔ a, ‘Wələ kɔ ndzi kwili wi tii khə wələ. Mbɛiŋ dzə̂ ma bukumbɛiŋ wɔ̂ɔ wi ka biɛiŋ biwɔ nûmki bibukumbɛiŋ.’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. 15CUGAyaka bɔ kwa kuku buku bəh wi yɛiŋ khə ka wɔɔ.” Si Jisɔs dzaka yakadəiŋ, ka bikə a, “Mbɛiŋ kwakaki a, mi wi khə wə ni dzə fə dəiŋ bəh bəni bəwɔ a?BSBBSB: So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16. 16CUGMih fukuki i mbɛiŋ a, wi bi dzə kaasi lə bəni bəwɔ, wi nya khə wiwɔ num i bəni bədɔkɔ chi chi.” Si bəni bəwɔ ni wɔkɔ yakadəiŋ, ka nəiŋ, dzaka a, “Nyɔ bâŋ dzəh yiwɔ.”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. 17CUGJisɔs tsɛiŋ bɔ lə, bikə a, “Yaka kɔ a gia yə bə nyaka i Kiŋwakti ki Nyɔ wə, dzakaki a nə, ‘A təh wə bəni bə maani nì nəiŋ, wi fiəni chu num na təh wi bu wi juŋ wi ndzɔŋni a?’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. 18CUGNa ndə wə wi bi gbɔki i təh wiwɔ wə, wi mi wiwɔ bi shakyi i biŋka wə, ayaka təh wiwɔ ka bi gbɔ i mi bɛiŋ, ma wi ni gɔksi wi i kwɔŋɔ wə.”BSBBSB: Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
19. 19CUGSi Jisɔs ti ndi wiwɔ yakadəiŋ, bəni bə̀ bɔ laniki bənchi bə Nyɔ bəh bətii mfə gia bəmbum ka nəŋki a bɔ kwâ wi fɛiŋ akisəkə. Bɔ nì nəŋki i kwa wi kɔm bɔ nì kɔ bɔ wɔkɔ kiə a wi si ti ndi wiwɔ num i bɔ, ayakalə bɔ ka lwa gaka bəni.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. 20CUGBɔ yisi i biəliki gvu yi, taŋyi bəni bədɔkɔ faaŋ bɔ, a bɔ tsə̂ kwâyiki fə̂ki a bɔ kɔ bəni bə ndzɔŋni. Bɔ ni fə lə i kwâ gia yi kintəŋsi i dzaka ki wə.

They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.
21. 21CUGBəni bəwɔ dza ka bikə i Jisɔs a, “Mi wi lanini, buku kiəki lə a gia yə wɔ dzakaki bəh yə wɔ laniki kɔ na gia yi chəŋ, wɔ tsɛiŋ kə mi i dzə́kəh wə. Wɔ lani gia yi ŋkɔŋ yə Nyɔ nəŋki a bəni fəki.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. 22CUGI liə fûku i buku, jɔbi widɔkɔ bənchi bəbukumbɛiŋ bumki lə a, bə gɔ̂mki kiŋwakti i Kaysa ŋkuŋ wi Lum, ma bə ma gɔ̂mki a?”BSBBSB: Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23. 23CUGJisɔs kiə gia yə bɔ wɛɛliki bəh yi, ka dzaka a,BSBBSB: But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,
24. 24CUG“Mbɛiŋ dzə̂ bəh kpɔ wə mbɛiŋ si lɔɔ kiŋwakti yɛiŋ mih yɛiŋ.” Bɔ dzə bəh wi, wi bikə a, “Fwu wələ wi kɔ yɛiŋ kɔ wi ndə, yɛli wələ num wi ndə a?” Ayaka bɔ chukuli a, “Akɔ wi Kaysa, yɛli num ŋ'wi.”BSBBSB: “Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
25. 25CUGJisɔs ka dzaka a, “Mbɛiŋ ka nyâki i Kaysa fiɛŋ fiə fi kɔ fi Kaysa, nyâ i Nyɔ fiə fi kɔ fi Nyɔ.”BSBBSB: So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
26. 26CUGBəni bəwɔ wɔkɔ gia yiwɔ yaka yi fumsi bɔ, bɔ baŋ dzaka kibɔ nəki kwati kə dzəh yə bɔ si kɔ i kwa wi fɛiŋ i bəni kintəəŋ. Dzaka bə́ wɔm bɔ i gia yə wi si dzaka.BSBBSB: And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
27. 27CUGBəni bədɔkɔ i mbaŋ wi Bəsadusi wə nì dza dzə i bikə gia i Jisɔs. Bəsadusi bələ nì kɔ bəni bə̀ bɔ nì dzaka a bəni bi fiəni dzayiki kə i kpi wə.BSBBSB: Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
28. 28CUGBɔ nì dzə ka bikə i Jisɔs a, “Mi wi lanini, Muses nì nyaka i bənchi i buku a, ‘Mi ka kpi bee kpə wi, maka bɔ wi bwɔ waiŋ, waiŋnih wi kaŋaki lə i nɔ̂si kpə ŋkwu wiwɔ, ma bɔ wi bwɔ bwa i yɛli wi ŋkwu wiwɔ.’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. 29CUGI liə, bwa bə mi widɔkɔ nì kɔlə nanitaŋ, wi ninshiŋ bi dzɔ miŋkpaŋa, dzə kpi waiŋ kɔbi.BSBBSB: Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.
30. 30CUGWi kɔmsini wə nɔsi miŋkpaŋa wiwɔ, ka kpi tə maka bɔ wi bwɔ waiŋ.BSBBSB: Then the second

32. 32CUGI kiŋgɔksi wə miŋkpaŋa wiwɔ bɔŋ kpi tə.BSBBSB: And last of all, the woman died.
33. 33CUGI liə si bɔ bəchi nanitaŋ nì kɔ bɔ nɔsi lɔ miŋkpaŋa wiwɔ, a bi numki i jɔbi wə bəni bi fiəni dzayiki i kpi wə, ma wi bi numki kpə ndə a?”BSBBSB: So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
34. 34CUGJisɔs chukuli i bɔ a, “I mbi wi liə bənyuku bəh bəkaŋa dzɔki lə gwu yibɔ, bəni nya bwa bəbɔ bɔ dzɔ gwu yibɔ.BSBBSB: Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

Bəni bi chu nya kə bwa bəbɔ i bənyuku bəh i bəkaŋa.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. 36CUGBɔ bi chu kpi kə kɔm bɔ bi numki aka bəchinda bə Nyɔ. Bɔ kɔ bwa bə Nyɔ kɔm bɔ dzayi lɔ i kpi wə.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.

Wi bɔɔŋki Bah i di bi kiŋwakti kiwɔ a, wi kɔ Nyɔ wi Ablaham, bəh wi Ayjik bəh wi Yakɔb.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. 38CUGWi kabə bɔɔŋki yakadəiŋ, yaka kɔ bəŋkwu bələ kɔ bəwɔm, Nyɔ kɔkə wi bəni bə kpili, a num kə Nyɔ wi bəni bəwɔm, i wi bəni bəchi kɔ bəwɔm.”BSBBSB: He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”
