Mark 12 (TBX) · Opened

1Woyom Yesu luk wou xel teivateiv eivek qayeeng pakeing. “Tambiy ti ev xuk wain. E qo tete vivekwou, me ev leiveeng wei qeing wain o, me ev xomek vaxading wei yeingteyei xuk wain o. Woyom moxo toung xuk wain eivek xel valu memend bei xel bo xuk vateivek lek me dembu wain neing wou ma, veweeng wou xuk ma de veweeng wou xel venaxow dom la beyeeng dingta.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.

2Lek bouk wei uleing wain neing eno moxo wong xukxe ti la wou xel wei mi yeiteyei xuk bei na qou wain neing valu eivek xuk wain.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Ekom xel zeimaxoun e, me leis e wo nol dom wong moxo lox me la mema nivax.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Woyom moxo wong xukxe nge la wou xel, me xel sesa moux tine lek e lu de xel se ngo e vya qe xel wo niyalenyeing ngandoung wou e.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5E wong xukxe nge lox no, om tiyon mou xel leis e mey. E wong xel ngenongakes la, ekom xel sesa valu, de xel leis xel valu mey.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6“E xe tixemou tateis toundei en ingwei embei bong ena yo, neu moux tiwei e lalei vind o. E wong ela ti yusayang, me neil, ‘Tyek xel gwevek a neung xe qayeeng.’Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7“Ekom xel xukxe wei wain o neil wouma, ‘Tambiy tine tyek na qou ma xe lulul dalus. Xam lam en xey a nyeis e mey o, dom lulul dalus on tyek inyon xe xe.’But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Om xel zeimaxoun e me leis e mey, dom nex e la myayaing veil xuk wain.So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9“Woyom Yesu teling xel “tyek xuk wain ma bo vati? Tyek moxo nam dom nyeis xel xukxe dom bong xuk wain na wou xel bange.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Beip xam seng mi pyaw xoulek tine? “‘Qakous mundeeng ti wei xel kamunda pesek, eno wong ambei qakous ti myaxeeng wei nale me mi byexaxoun xomek o.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11Tambiy Ngandoung wong tine, me xa xei lek mami me inye wo etekeing wou xa.’”This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Woyom xel leitata yimexe sakwaing ti en xel embei zeimaxoun e en nambei xel woulek bei e neil qayeeng pakeing lek xel. Ekom xel yaleeng en xel qendu ngandoung on, om xel ghanaw e me la.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.

13Kalekom xel wong Parisi valu me xel wei Herot o valu la wou Yesu bei tandei e en emaxow xe qayeeng wei embei neil ena sewok o.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Xel lam wou e me neil, “Putoung, xa woulek bei wang on tambiy neing. Wa seng mi waleeng en xelti, me wa seng mi wei bei inyon xel eti yeiw, qe wang mi teyoxe sakwaing wei Anutu yo me ghe betiwou qayeeng zonghek. Om petieing neil embei xey a toung takis wou Sisa o xe se toung?“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?”

15Xey a toung o xe se toung?” Ekom Yesu woulek bei xel on myend yuw om neil wou xel bei, “Nambei nya xam ghe di tandei ay? Qou selewa ti lam wou ay, me a xei.”But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Xel qou selewa ti me lam, om moxo teling xel, “Eti xe tenu ing tine? Me eti lei inye?” Xel neil elox, “Sisa.”So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Woyom Yesu neil wou xel, “Xam ghe bong vati wei Sisa xe yo wou Sisa, dom ghe bong vati wei Anutu xe yo wou Anutu.” Om xel on etek en e.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Woyom xel Sadyusi, wei mi neil embei xel meyeing tyek se qandi lek eno lam wou e is telinyeing ti.Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19Xel neil, “Putoung, Mose byex qayeeng wou xey bei wangwei moux ti li na mey de venei nanghei toundei ekom neu ma, yond moux tiyon dii vexeiv on me bo li neuyeiw.“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.

20Woyom xel lim yuw lindama eno toundei. Tiwei tax eno ii vex on me mey ekom se wo neu ti.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21Li nge wei yuw eno ii vexeiv on dom mey is, ekom se wo neu ti. Kwa kayon eno li tiwei yal o betiwou.Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22Om nambei nyon eno xel lim yuw on ti se wong neuyeiw ti, dekakom vex on mey loxyus en xel dalus.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Lek bouk wei qandieing lek, eno tyek vex on eti venei? En inyon xel lim yuw ii vex tiyon.”In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Yesu neil elox, “Xam ghe neil qayeeng on la sewok en xam seng woulek xoulek wei dei yeip eivek qapiya me nikanzek wei Anutu yo.Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Gyeik bouk wei xel meyeing qandi lek, eno xel se teyeimbei diima me diima nox me noum, tyek xel ghok ambei xel angela wei tyoung gheyapu yo.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26De qayeeng wei meyeing e qandi lek, beip inye xam seng pyaw eivek qapiya wei Mose me eivek pavulek wei nenyex tum lek xax nayaka yo, de eivek pavulek wei Anutu neil wou e yo, ‘A ne Anutu wei Apraham, Anutu wei Isaka me Anutu wei Yakop o?’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’?

27Moxo se Anutu wei xel meyeing, qe e Anutu wei xel wei mapieing. Om qayeeng wei xam ghe neil on eno la sewok.”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Putoung wei petieing o ti lam me ngo xel di pyaw lekama lox me loum is Yesu. Me ngo bei Yesu lewexe lek qayeeng on wo nimza, om teling e, “Qayeeng petieing tina, inye ngandoung ghanaw veil en qayeeng petieing dalus?”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?”

29Yesu lewexe, “Tiwei ngandoung ghanaw veil eno inye: ‘Xam Israel ngo, Tambiy Ngandoung xe xe Anutu, emaxow tixemou yon Tambiy Ngandoung.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Xam laleimim devind Tambiy Ngandoung xam xe Anutu is laleimim dalus me is numim pieing dalus me is xam lumimpeyei dalus me is xam nimim kanzek dalus.’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Nge wei yuw eno inye: ‘Wa laleim e mi devind nimpapu nambei wa laleim mi vind xow o.’ Qayeeng petieing ti se ngandoung ghanaw yuw ne.”The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Moux on neil elox, “Putoung, wang neil neing bei Anutu yon tixemou me xel ba ma dom emaxow.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Laleim vind e is laleim dalus me is wa lumpeyei dalus me is wa nimkanzek dalus me wa laleim devind nimpapu nambei wa laleim mi vind venaxow o. Inyon ngandoungateiv ghanaw xound wei seing dalus o me da leimalei.”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.”

34Gyeik Yesu yei bei e neil qayeeng nambei xel wei lupeyei nimza, om neil wou e, “Wa seng dei dingta veil tete lalei wei Anutu yo.” De woyom xel yaleeng om xelti se lox teling e no.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.

35Ka Yesu di teyoxe xel eivek tete lalei wei xomek vambuing o, e teling, “Nambei nya ekom xel putoung wei petieing o neil embei Kilisi yon Dawit neu?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Dawit venaxow neil angya Laweeng Vambuing, me neilteyei bei: “‘Tambiy Ngandoung neil wou a xe Tambiy Ngandoung: “Wa mendei wou a memang payeiv deka a toung wa xe xel vevek amba na xeinghembi eivek wa vaxam bole.”’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.”’

37Dawit venaxow taxe Kilisi ne Tambiy Ngandoung. Nambei nya Kilisi yon Dawit neu is ambei nyon?” Xel qendu ngandoung on liw nenyend wou e is xeindlala.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Ka Yesu teyoxe xel, eno neil, “Xam ghe gwei xow teyei en xel putoung wei petieing o. Xel embei mi ghavineeng is teimb ding me xel embei xel a mi neil bendiyeing teiv wou xel eivek beyeeng wei vateivek o,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,

39me xel embei mi mendei lek sia nimza wei xel wei leitata mi deilek o eivek xomek qekueing ama me mindei lek sia nimza wei tax wei xel lei laeing o eivek mata ngandoung.and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Xel mi tyoxe xel vexeiv me qou xel xe xomek me talex xow en zeimeing mema ding. Xel moux ambei nyon eno tyek na qou myaveweeng ngandoung ghanaw xel bamba.”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Yesu dei paviy ingwei xel mi toung da nanghei yo, me di yei bembeeng vex alis moux di toung xel xe da la eivek qoupek malew wei xomek vambuing o. Xomaxoneing ngenong wei lulul ana eno toung malew ngandoung.As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Ekom vexeiv kanyo ti eno lam me toung selewa nayak yayuw, nikanzek wei selewa ne eno teyei lek selewa gyand ti.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Yesu taxe e xe xel betiyeing lam wou e, me neil, “A neil wou xam zonghek, vexeiv kawei kanyo ne eno toung malew ngandoung eivek qoupek malew wei xomek vambuing o ghanaw xel bamba dalus.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.

44En xel dalus wong xel xe lulul dalus eivek lulul ngenong wei xel o. Ekom vex on lulul ma dom wong e xe kayo dalus, de wong ingwei embei toumendei mapieing en eno dalus.”For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
