Mark 12 (KOS) · Opened

1Na Jesus el kaskas nu selos ke kas in pupulyuk ac fahk, “Sie mwet el yukwiya sie ima in grape. El orala kalkal se rauneak, ac pukanak luf in itat wain se, ac musaela nien soan se. Na el sang ima se inge nu sin kutu mwet in karingin, na el som liki acn sel nu in sie pac facl.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.

2Ac ke sun pacl in telani fokin grape uh, el supwala sie mwet kulansap nu yurin mwet karingin ima sac, tuh elan eis selos ip lal ke kosrani lun grape uh.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Ac mwet karingin ima sac elos sruokilya, srunglul, ac folokunulla pusin po.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Na mwet kacto sac el sifil supwala sie pac mwet kulansap; ac mwet liyaung nien grape uh elos kanteya sifal, ac oru ma na koluk nu sel.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Na el supwala pac sie mwet kulansap, ac elos unilya. Elos oru ouinge pac nu sin mwet puspis. Elos puok kutu ac uniya kutu.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6Ac mwet sefanna lula yorol, pa wen kulo se natul. Na tok, el supwala wen natul nu sin mwet liyaung nien grape uh. Ac el sifacna nunku in el, ‘Nga lulalfongi mu elos ac fah sunakin wen nutik.’Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7Tusruktu mwet liyaung nien grape uh fahk nu sin sie sin sie, ‘Wen se nutin mwet kacto sac pa inge. Fahsru kut unilya, ac ima se inge fah ma lac lasr!’But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Ouinge elos sruokilya, unilya ac sisla manol liki nien grape uh.”So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9Ac Jesus el siyuk, “Na mea mwet se la nien grape uh fah oru? El fah tuku ac onelosi, ac sang nien grape uh nu sin kutu pac mwet in liyaung.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Ya kowos soenna rit Ma Simusla se inge? ‘Eot se ma mwet musa uh sisla, Pa yohk sripa oemeet uh.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11Leum pa oru ma inge uh; Fuka lupan usrngukiya in liye!”This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew inge srike in sruokilya Jesus ke sripen elos etu mu el fahk pupulyuk inge in lainulos. Tuh elos sangeng sin un mwet puspis, ouinge elos som lukel.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.

13Kutu sin mwet Pharisee ac kutu mwet in u lal Herod supweyukla nu yurin Jesus in tuh srifal ke kutu mwe siyuk.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Ke elos tuku nu yorol elos fahk, “Mwet Luti, kut etu lah kom fahk ma pwaye ac tia suk lah mea mwet uh ac nunku kac. Kom tia kolak sin kutena mwet, a kom luti ma pwaye ke lungse lun God. Fahk nu sesr, ya ac lain Ma Sap lasr kut in akfalye tax nu sin Caesar, tokosra fulat in acn Rome?“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?”

15Ya kut ac sang, ku tia?” Tuh Jesus el etu kutasrik lalos, na el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Efu kowos ku srike in srifeyu? Use sie ipin mani silver an nu sik ngan liye.”But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Ac elos use, na el fahk nu selos, “Mutun su kac inge, ac inen su inge?” Na elos topuk ac fahk, “Ma lun Caesar.”So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Ouinge Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Na fin pa ingan, sang nu sin Caesar ma lun Caesar, ac nu sin God ma lun God.” Ac elos arulana fwefela sel.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Na kutu mwet Sadducee su fahk mu wangin sifil moulyak liki misa, elos tuku nu yurin Jesus ac fahk,Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19“Mwet Luti, Moses el simusla sie ma sap nu sesr fahk mu, ‘Sie mukul fin misa, ac wangin tulik natul nu sin mutan kial, na sie ma lel fah eis katinmas sacn kial ac eltal fah oswela tulik su ac fah pangpang ma nutin ma lel su misa.’“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.

20Tuh oasr tamulel itkosr, ac el su matu el payuk nwe misa a wangin tulik natul.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21Na el se akluo el eis katinmas sac kial, ac el oayapa misa a wangin tulik natul. Sikyak ouinge pac nu sin el su aktolu,Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22oayapa tamulel wial ah nufon. Kewana marut nu sin katinmas sac, ac elos nukewa misa wangin tulik natulos. Na tok, katinmas sac oayapa misa.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Ke len in sifil moulyak lun mwet nukewa, na katinmas sac ac fah ma kien su, ke tamulel itkosr ah kewa tuh payuk sel ah?”In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Kowos arulana tafongla! Ac kowos etu lah efu? Ma ke kowos tia etu ke Ma Simusla ku ke ku lun God.Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Tuh ke mwet misa uh ac sifil moulyak, elos ac oana lipufan inkusrao, ac elos ac tia payuk.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Ac funu ke moulyak lun mwet misa, ya kowos soenna rit in book lal Moses ke ma sikyak ke e se firir in kupo sac? Simla mu God El fahk nu sel Moses ouinge, ‘Nga God lal Abraham, God lal Isaac, ac God lal Jacob.’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’?

27Kalmeya pa El God lun mwet moul, ac El tia God lun mwet misa. Kowos arulana tafongla!”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Ac sie sin mwet luti Ma Sap el wi muta we, ac lohng ke elos asiyuki. El liye tuh arulana wo top lal Jesus nu sin mwet Sadducee, na el kalukyang nu yorol ke sie mwe siyuk ac fahk, “Pia ma sap su yohk oemeet ke Ma Sap uh?”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?”

29Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Ma Sap se ma yohk emeet pa inge: ‘Lohng, O Israel. Leum God lasr, El God sefanna.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Ac kom fah lungse Leum God lom ke insiom kewa, ac ke ngunum kewa, ac ke nunkom kewa, ac ke ku lom kewa.’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Ac ma sap se akluo pa inge: ‘Kom fah lungse mwet tulan lom oana ke kom lungse kom sifacna.’ Wangin sie pac ma sap yohk liki ma luo inge.”The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Na mwet luti sac fahk nu sin Jesus, “Pwaye sum, Mwet Luti! Kom fahk suwohs, Leum God El mukena pa God, ac wangin pac sie god saya.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Ac mwet se enenu in lungse God ke insial kewa, ke nunkal kewa, ac ke ku lal kewa; ac el enenu pac in lungse mwet tulan lal oana ke el lungse el sifacna. Wo in akos ma sap luo inge liki na in kisakin kosro fin loang uh, ku oru pac kutu mwe kisa saya nu sin God.”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.”

34Ac ke Jesus el liye tuh el topuk suwohs, el fahk nu sel, “Kom tiana loesla liki Tokosrai lun God.” Tukun ma inge, wangin mwet pulaik in sifil siyuk kutena ma sel.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.

35Ke Jesus el luti in Tempul, el srukak kusen siyuk se inge: “Fuka tuh mwet luti Ma Sap elos fahk mu Christ el wen natul David?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Ngun Mutal tuh akkaskasyal David, ac el fahk ouinge: ‘Leum God El tuh fahk nu sin Leum luk: Muta siskuk layot Nwe ke nga filiya mwet lokoalok lom ye niom.’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.”’

37David el sifacna pangnol ‘Leum’; na fuka tuh Christ elan wen natul David?” Oasr sie un mwet na pus su engan in lohng luti lal Jesus.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Ac ke el lotelos, el fahk, “Liyekowosyang liki mwet luti Ma Sap, su nokomang nuknuk loeloes ke elos fufahsryesr inmasrlon mwet uh, ac kena tuh mwet uh in akfulatyalos ac paingulos ke nien kuka;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,

39su sulela nien muta fulat in iwen lolngok ac acn ma wo emeet ke pacl in kufwa.and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Elos aklalfonye katinmas ac pisrala ma lalos, ac oayapa oru pre loeloes lalos mwe na lumah. Ke ma inge ac fah akyokyeyuk mwe kai nu selos in arulana upa!”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Ke Jesus el muta apkuran nu ke nien eisani mani in Tempul, el tuni ke mwet uh ac filiya mani lalos uh. Mwet kasrup puspis elos filiya mani na yohk.As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Na sie katinmas su sukasrup el tuku ac filiya luo ipin mani srisrik, sununna cent srusra se.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Na Jesus el pangonma mwet tumal lutlut ac fahk nu selos, “Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, mwe sang ma katinmas sukasrup se inge el filiya in nien mani uh arulana yohk liki mwe sang lun mwet ngia nukewa.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.

44Tuh elos nukewa filiya ma elos srela liki ma puspis lalos, a el, el nwe sukasrup, el sang ma lal nukewa, aok nufon ma oasr yorol.”For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
