1. 1EWEYesu ƒo nu na wo le lododowo me be, “Ame aɖe de waingble gã aɖe, eye wòɖo gli ƒo xlãe. Etu wainfiaƒe hã. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, etu gbetakpɔxɔ aɖe, afi si ame anɔ, adzɔ agble la ŋu ɣe sia ɣi. Azɔ etsɔ agble la de agbledzinɔla aɖewo ƒe asi me be woakpɔ edzi, ale wòdzo yi du didi aɖe me.BSBBSB: 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.
2. 2EWELe nuŋeɣi la, agbletɔ la dɔ eƒe subɔla ɖeka ɖa be wòaxɔ agblemenuku la ƒe akpa si nye ye tɔ gome la vɛ na ye,BSBBSB: At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
3. 3EWEgake agblea dzi nɔlawo ƒo ame dɔdɔ la, henyae ɖo ɖa asi ƒuƒlu.BSBBSB: But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4. 4EWE“Agbletɔ la gaɖo dɔla bubu ɖa, gake woƒo eya hã, de abi eƒe ta ŋu, hedo ŋukpee.BSBBSB: Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.
5. 5EWEAme si wògaɖo ɖa la, wowu eya gɔ̃. Tso esia dzi la, woƒo ame dɔdɔ siwo katã wòɖo ɖa la nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe, eye wowu ɖewo gɔ̃ hã. Wonɔ esia dzi ʋuu va se ɖeBSBBSB: He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.
6. 6EWEesime wòsusɔ ame ɖeka pɛ ko, eyae nye via ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ si wòlɔ̃ vevie la. Mlɔeba la, eɖo eya hã ɖa, kple susu be woade bubu eŋu.BSBBSB: Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
7. 7EWE“Gake esi agblea dzi kpɔlawo kpɔe wògbɔna ko la, wogblɔ be, Ame siae anyi agble sia ƒe dome le fofoa ƒe ku megbe. Mina míawui kaba, be agble gã sia nazu mía tɔ!”BSBBSB: But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8. 8EWEAle wolée hewui, eye wotsɔ eƒe kukua ƒu gbe ɖe agble la godo.BSBBSB: So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9. 9EWE“Nu ka miebu be agbleatɔ awɔ ne ese nya sia? Ava kple dɔmedzoe, ava wu ame vɔ̃ɖi siawo katã, eye wòatsɔ agble la ade ame bubuwo ƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te.BSBBSB: What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.
10. 10EWEMieɖo ŋku edzi be miexlẽ le mawunya me kpɔ be, “ ‘Kpe si xɔtulawo gbe la, eyae va zua dzogoedzikpe oa?BSBBSB: Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
11. 11EWEAƒetɔ lae wɔ nu sia, eye wònye nukunu le mía ŋkume.’ ”BSBBSB: This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12. 12EWEYudatɔwo ƒe kplɔlawo nɔ didim vevie be yewoalée le afi ma kokoko, elabena wonya be yewo ŋue wòdo lo sia ɖo. Ke womete ŋui enumake o, elabena wovɔ̃ na ameha la. Ale wodzo le egbɔ.BSBBSB: 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.
13. 13EWEEmegbe la, wodɔ Farisitɔwo kple Herod dunyahela aɖewo be woalée le eƒe nuƒo me.BSBBSB: Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.
14. 14EWEAmeawo va gblɔ na Yesu amenubletɔe be, “Nufiala, míenya be ègblɔa nyateƒe la vɔvɔ̃manɔmee! Amewo ƒe susuwo kple didiwo meblea nuwò o, ke boŋ èfiaa Mawu ƒe mɔwo amewo le nyateƒe me. Azɔ gblɔ nu si nèbu la na mí.” Enyo be woadzɔ ga na Kaisaro loo alo menyo o?BSBBSB: “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?”
15. 15EWEƉe míadzɔe loo alo ɖe míadzɔe oa? Ke Yesu dze si woƒe alakpanuwɔwɔ, eye wòbia wo be, “Nu ka ta miele teyem kpɔ? Mitsɔ ga si Romatɔwo ɖuna la ƒe ɖeka nam makpɔ.”BSBBSB: But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”
16. 16EWETete wotsɔ ga la nɛ eye wòbia wo be, “Ame ka ƒe nɔnɔmetata kple nuŋɔŋlɔe le edzi?” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Kaisaro tɔe.”BSBBSB: So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
17. 17EWEYesu yi edzi be, “Nu si nye Kaisaro tɔ la, mitsɔe na Kaisaro. Nu si nye Mawu tɔ la, mitsɔe na Mawu!” Nyaŋuɖoɖo sia na ameawo tɔtɔ, eye womeganya nya si woagblɔ o.BSBBSB: Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.
18. 18EWEEteƒe medidi o la, Zadukitɔwo hã va do. Ame siawo nye habɔbɔ aɖe, siwo mexɔ ame kukuwo ƒe tsitretsitsi dzi se o. Wobia Yesu be,BSBBSB: Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:
19. 19EWE“Nufiala, ele Mose ƒe sewo me be ne ŋutsu aɖe ku vimadzimadzii la, nɔvia ŋutsu naɖe eƒe ahosi la, adzi viwo ɖe foa si ku la ƒe ŋkɔ me.BSBBSB: “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.
20. 20EWEAzɔ nɔviŋutsu adre aɖewo nɔ anyi. Tsitsitɔ ɖe srɔ̃, eye wòku vimadzii.BSBBSB: Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.
21. 21EWEAle ame si dzɔ ɖe ameyinugbe la yome la ɖe ahosi la. Eya hã ku vimadzii. Nɔvia si kplɔe ɖo la ɖe ahosi la, gake eya hã medzi vi aɖeke kplii hafi ku o.BSBBSB: Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.
22. 22EWEAle nɔviŋutsu adreawo ku vi aɖeke madzimadzi, eye nyɔnu la hã va ku.BSBBSB: In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.
23. 23EWEFifia la, nu si míedi be míanya lae nye be, le tsitretsitsiŋkeke la dzi ɖe, wo dometɔ kae anye nyɔnu sia srɔ̃a, elabena wo ame adrea katã ɖee kpɔ.”BSBBSB: In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
24. 24EWEYesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nu si le fu ɖem na mi lae nye be mienya mawunya alo Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ o,BSBBSB: Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
25. 25EWEelabena ne ame kukuwo fɔ ɖe tsitre la, womagaɖe srɔ̃ o, srɔ̃ɖeɖe maganɔ anyi o. Woanɔ ko abe mawudɔla siwo le dziƒo ene.BSBBSB: When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
26. 26EWENe mieƒo nu tso ame kukuwo ƒe tsitretsitsi ŋuti la, miɖo ŋku nu si miexlẽ le Mose ƒe Agbalẽ me tso ale si Mose kpɔ ŋuve bibi la dzi. Mawu gblɔ na Mose le afi ma be, ‘Nyee nye Abraham ƒe Mawu, Isak ƒe Mawu kple Yakob ƒe Mawu.’BSBBSB: 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’?
27. 27EWEMenye ame kukuwo ƒe Mawu wònye o, ke boŋ ame gbagbewo ƒe Mawue! Miewɔ vodada gã ŋutɔ.”BSBBSB: He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
28. 28EWEAgbalẽfialawo dometɔ ɖeka si nɔ tsitre ɖe afi ma, nɔ to ɖom nya si ʋlim wonɔ la do dzesii be, Yesu ɖo nya la ŋu nyuie, eya ta ebiae be, “Se kae nye vevitɔ wu le seawo katã dome?”BSBBSB: 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?”
29. 29EWEYesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Se siae nye esi gblɔ be, ‘Israel see! Aƒetɔ mía Mawu la, Aƒetɔ ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ ko wònye.BSBBSB: Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.
30. 30EWEEya ta lɔ̃ Aƒetɔ, wò Mawu la kple wò dzi blibo, wò luʋɔ blibo kple wò tamesusu blibo kpakple wò ŋusẽ katã.’BSBBSB: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
31. 31EWESe eveliae nye, ‘Lɔ̃ hawòvi abe ale si nèlɔ̃a ɖokuiwòe ene.’ Le nyateƒe me la, Se bubu aɖeke megali si le vevie wu esiawo o.”BSBBSB: The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
32. 32EWEAgbalẽfiala la gblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, èto nyateƒe esi nègblɔ be Mawu ɖeka koe li, bubu aɖeke megali o,BSBBSB: “Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,
33. 33EWEeye ele vevie be ame nalɔ̃ eya ɖeka kple eƒe dzi, gɔmesese kple ŋusẽ katã. Ele be woalɔ̃ amehavi wu be woasa vɔwo, numevɔwo kple vɔsa bubuwo.”BSBBSB: 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.”
34. 34EWEEsi Yesu kpɔ be eɖo nya la ŋu nunyatɔe la, egblɔ nɛ be, “Wò la, mèle adzɔge tso mawufiaɖuƒe la gbɔ o.” Le esia megbe la, ame aɖeke megate ŋu bia nya aɖekee o.BSBBSB: 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.
35. 35EWEEmegbe la, esi Yesu nɔ nu fiam le gbedoxɔ me la, ebia ameawo be, “Nu ka ta miaƒe agbalẽfialawo gblɔna be Kristo la nye Fia David ƒe vi ɖo?BSBBSB: While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
36. 36EWEElabena David ŋutɔ gblɔ le Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ƒe ŋusẽ me be, “ ‘Aƒetɔ la gblɔ na nye Aƒetɔ be, “Nɔ anyi ɖe nye ɖusime va se ɖe esime matsɔ wò ketɔwo ade wò afɔ te.” ’BSBBSB: 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.”’
37. 37EWEEsi David ŋutɔ yɔe be ‘Aƒetɔ’ ɖe, aleke wòaganye via?” Nyameɖeɖe sia do dzidzɔ na eselawo ŋutɔ, ale wogbugbɔ ke to ɖe Yesu ƒe nufifia ŋu henɔ to ɖom kple dzidzɔ.BSBBSB: David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.
38. 38EWEYesu yi edzi gblɔ na ameawo be, “Mikpɔ nyuie le sefialawo ŋuti, elabena wolɔ̃a awu ʋlayawo dodo, eye wodina be amewo nado gbe na yewo ne yewole zɔzɔm le ablɔwo dzi.BSBBSB: 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,
39. 39EWEAme siawo lɔ̃a teƒe kɔkɔwo nɔnɔ le ƒuƒoƒewo, eye wodia kplɔ̃tanɔnɔ vevie le nuɖukplɔ̃ɖoƒewo.BSBBSB: and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
40. 40EWEWoxɔa ahosiwo ƒe aƒewo le wo si, eye wodoa kpɔkpɔ wo ɖokuiwo to gbe didiwo dodo ɖa me. Ame siawo tɔgbi axɔ tohehe sesẽtɔ.”BSBBSB: They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
41. 41EWEYesu bɔbɔ nɔ anyi dze ŋgɔ nudzɔɖaka la. Ame siwo nye kesinɔtɔwo la va da ga home gãwo ɖe nudzɔɖaka la me dadatɔe.BSBBSB: As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.
42. 42EWEAhosi dahe aɖe hã va, eye wòda pesewa eve ɖe nudzɔɖaka la me.BSBBSB: Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.
43. 43EWEYesu yɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va eɖokui gbɔe, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Enye nyateƒe be ahosi dahe sia ƒe nu si wòda ɖe nudzɔɖaka me la xɔ asi wu nu si ame bubuawo katã wona,BSBBSB: 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.
44. 44EWEelabena ame siawo na nu si wozã wosusɔ la, ke ahosi dahe sia ya na nu si ŋu wòle be wòanɔ agbe ɖo la.”BSBBSB: For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
