Mark 12 (ULK1902)

1Iesu ko ditimeda uiabim detager gaire mer babisdarie, kega, Nerute le uina gedub akerare, a kar derumeda, a uak dakeili ko uina igmesi, a eskare emoarare, a gedub le nakuarare, a muriz ged bakeamuda.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.

2Nurge, E nerute memeg le mamarida uiabim gaire gedub le, ko uina turum taisare uiabielam.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Uiaba abi terpei, a abi damarik, a abi dituaki, nole lu kak.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4E iako uiabim nerute memeg le namarida; a ui bakiru abi erborare, abara kerem nakesmuare a emetu dedkoare, uiaba abi dituaki.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5E iako nerute namarida; a uiaba abi ipit eumida: a ko uader gaire; a uader damarik, a uader ipit eumida.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6E nagri netat uerem nasge: E keubu abi namarida uiabim, kega, Uiaba ko kara uerem geum ge.Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7Uiaba gaire gedub le mer atagere, kega, Ab kesem peik; tabakeuare, meriba abi ipit, a gaire abara lu, meriba lu.But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Ege uiaba abi terpei, a ipit eumida, a adige batauerem uina gedublam.So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9Uina gedub ra opole nalu ko ikeli? E ko tabarki a uiabi gedub le atkirua, a uina gedub uader le nakuarare.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Nako uaba nole jauali zogo atager kak, kega, Abele baker uiaba gaire le meta emorare dituaki, emetu ikeli abele meta serer ge:Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11Abele lu Opole de ikeli, meriba dasmerare, a damareda?This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Uiaba deraimeri ko abi terpei, epe uiaba gaire le lakub geum ge; abelelam uiaba umele abele mer babisdarie E uiabi detager: uiaba abi dikaerti, a bakeamuda.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.

13Uiaba uader Faresaio giz Iesuim namarida, a Herodiano giz, ko abara mer asesered.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Uiaba tabarki, a abi detager, kega, Kole, keriba umele mama le ageakar, a nole le geum kak; ma nole akiapor kak le la op, mamoro Ade ra gab ageakar ereuerem: Nako, barkak Kaisaraim lu nakuar, a nolea?“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?”

15Nako, keriba ko ikuar, a keriba nole akuar kak? Epe E opasereret uiaba okardare, a uiabim detager, kega, Nalugelam uaba kari mirem? denari kari nakuar, kaka dasmer.But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Uiaba nerute tais, E uiabi detager, kega, Abele nete ra op, a aotale? Uiaba abi detager, kega, Kaisara.So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Iesu uiabim detaut, kega, Kaisara ra lu Kaisaraim nakuar, a Ade ra lu Adim nakuar. Uiaba abi damreda.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Sadukaio giz abim tabakeuare, uiaba dikiapor nole eded akaida; uiaba abi nautumer, kega,Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19Ereuer le ae, Mose keribi detali, kega, Ese nerute le la keimer eumida, a abara kosker dikaerti, a nole uerem kak, abara keimer abele kosker egared, ko abi keimer kesem.“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.

20Sefen keimer giz: abele narbet kekiam ko ispida epe eumida, nole kesem kak;Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21Nerute keimer kosker egared, epe eumida nole kesem kak; mokakalam nerute keimer:Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22Sefen keimer giz nole kesem kak. Keubu kosker eumida.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Niaiem, uiaba tekue abele eded akaida, nete ra kosker uiaba? Abelelam emetu gaire sefen le abi egared uiaba kosker.In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Iesu uiabim detaut, kega, Abele giz uaba didmirik, nako uaba nole umer kak jauali zogo, a Ade ra adigir?Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Ese uiaba eded akaida eudelam, kosker agared kak, a akuar kak; uiaba ko abkoreb gaire angela kotor ge.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Abele eud le giz, ko eded akaida; nako uaba nole Mose ra jauali atager kak, Ade abi detager lulam, kega, Kaka Abarahama ra Ade a Isaaka ra Ade, a Iakobo ra Ade?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’?

27E nole Ade kak eud le giz, mamor Ade gaire eded: abelelam uaba au didmirik.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Nerute aotale giz kei tabakeam, E uiaba mer atager asoli, a opasereret Iesu de uiabim barkak detaut, E abi eutumer, kega, Nade aule gaire gelar uridili?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?”

29Iesu abi detaut, kega, Abele aule gelar giz uridili, kega, Isaraela ma asoli Iehoua meriba Ade, Iehoua tepteb:Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Ma ko Iehoua laglag mara Ade, a mara nerkep netat, a mara mar netat, a mara saserim kemer kemer.Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Mokakalam abele gelar neisiem, kega, Ma ko omare le mari dog emeri mabi koreb. Nole nerut au gelar tumem abele neisi gelar.The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Aotale abi detager, kega, Uao Kole, ageakar mama detager; Ade netat; E tepteb:“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Le abi laglag abara nerkep netat, a abara pereg netat, a abara mar netat, a abara saserim uridili, a omare le abi dog emeri abi koreb, abele lu kar tumem gaire lu nakuar uridili.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.”

34Iesu dasmer E barkak detaut, E abi detager, kega, Ma nole muriz kak Ade ra baselaia. Nole nerute le saserim ko abi eutumer.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.

35Iesu muige zogo meta ereuerem, a detager, kega, Nalugelam aotale giz detagereda, kega, Keriso Dauida ra uerem?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Dauida detager Lamar Zogolam, kega, Iehoua kari Opole detager, kega, Ma emri kara tuter tag pek, pako kaka eseamuda mara keubu le giz ikedi ko mara teter mas.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.”’

37Dauida abara nei atker Opole; nalugelam E abara uerem? Le lakub abi sererge asoli.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Iesu uiabim daratagered muige abara ereuerem, kega, Aotale giz dasmer, uiaba laglag nakasir perepere am uali, a laglag gaire le uetpur uteb ge uiabim naospereda,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,

39A uiaba laglag gaire op sik muige sunago giz, a gaire op sik uetpur ge:and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Uiaba itkamer gaire lu muige meta mai kosker giz ra meta, a perepere esorerapare abele itkamare; uiaba ko nagri au uit bodomalam ko.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Iesu mani epei op emeri, a dasmer uiaba tonar epei ge mani batauereda: gaire lu giz ra apu aule batauereda.As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Nerute mai kosker tabakeam, nole lu kak, a neis kebi mani natimeda, mokakalam netate fathen.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Iesu abara kaimeg giz darabgerare, a uiabim daratagereda, kega, Ageakar, kaka uabi detager, kega, Abele mai kosker, nole lu kak, abele batauereda mani epei ge uiabi uridili tumem batauereda: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.

44Abelelam uiaba uridili batauereda uiaba au lu giz ra apulam; E natimeda uridili nole lu kaklam, abele abara leuer terapei.For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
