Markos 12
1 Guero has cequién comparationez erraiten, Mahastibat landa ceçan guiçon-batec, eta ingura ceçan hessiz, eta eguin ceçan hobibat lacotaco, eta edifica ceçan dorrebat, eta aloca ciecén laborariey, eta camporat ioan cedin.
And Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man once planted a vineyard, put a fence round it, dug a wine-press, built a tower, and then let it out to tenants and went abroad.
2 Eta igor ceçan laborarietara sasoinean cerbitzaria, laborarietaric recebi leçançát mahastico fructutic.
At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants, to receive from them a share of the produce of the vintage;
3 Baina hec hura harturic çaurt ceçaten, eta igor ceçaten hutsic.
but they seized him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4 Eta berriz igor ceçan hetara berce cerbitzaribat eta harri vkaldiz hauts cieçoten buruä, eta igor ceçaten desonestqui tractaturic.
A second time the owner sent a servant to them; this man, too, the tenants struck on the head, and insulted.
5 Eta berriz bercebat igor ciecén, eta hura hil ceçaten: eta anhitz berceric, batzu cehatzen eta berceac hiltzen cituztela.
He sent another, but him they killed; and so with many others — some they beat and some they killed.
6 Oraino bada bere seme maitebat vkan eta, hura-ere igorri vkan du hetara azquenic, cioela, Ahalque içanen dirade ene semearen.
He had still one son, who was very dear to him; and him he sent to them last of all. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
7 Baina laborari hec erran ceçaten bere artean, Haur da primua: çatozte hil deçagun haur, eta gure içanen da heretagea.
But those tenants said to one another ‘Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and his inheritance will be ours.’
8 Eta harturic hura hil ceçaten, eta iraitz ceçaten mahastitic campora.
So they seized him, and killed him, and threw his body outside the vineyard.
9 Cer eguinen du bada mahasti iabeac? Ethorriren da, eta deseguinen ditu laborariac, eta emanen du mahastia berceri.
What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and put the tenants to death, and he will let the vineyard to others.
10 Eta Scriptura haur-ere eztuçue iracurri? Edificaçaléc arbuyatu duten harria, cantoin buru eguin içan da:
‘Have you never read this passage of Scripture? — ‘The very stone which the builders despised has now itself become the corner-stone;
11 Iaunaz eguin içan da haur, eta da gauça miragarria gure beguién aitzinean?
this corner-stone has come from the Lord, and is marvellous in our eyes.’”
12 Ayher ciraden bada haren hatzamaitera, baina populuaren beldur ciraden: ecen eçagutu çuten hayén contra comparatione haur erran çuela: eta hura vtziric ioan citecen.
After this his enemies were eager to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd; for they saw that it was at them that he had aimed the parable. So they let him alone, and went away.
13 Guero igor citzaten harengana Phariseuetaric eta Herodianoetaric batzu, hura hatzaman leçatençát hitzean.
Afterwards they sent to Jesus some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to set a trap for him in the course of conversation.
14 Eta hec ethorriric diotsate, Magistruá, bacequiagu ecen eguiati aicela, eta nehoren ansiaric eztuála: ecen ezago guiçonén apparentiara beha, baina eguiazqui Iaincoaren bidea iracasten duc: Bidezco da tributaren Cesari emaitea, ala ez? emanen dugu, ala eztugu emanen?
These men came to him and said: “Teacher, we know that you are an honest man, and are not afraid of any one, for you pay no regard to a person’s position, but teach the Way of God honestly; are we right in paying taxes to the Emperor, or not?
15 Eta harc, eçaguturic hayén hypocrisiá, erran ciecén, Cergatic tentatzen nauçue? ekardaçue dinerobat, ikus deçadançat.
Should we pay, or should we not pay?” Knowing their hypocrisy, Jesus said to them: “Why are you testing me? Bring me a florin to look at.”
16 Eta hec presenta cieçoten: orduan dioste, Norena da imagina haur eta scribua? Eta hec erran cieçoten, Cesarena.
And, when they had brought it, he asked: “Whose head and title are these?” “The Emperor’s,” they said;
17 Eta ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ciecén, Renda ietzoçue Cesarenac Cesari: eta Iaincoarenac Iaincoari. Eta mirets ceçaten haren gainean.
and Jesus replied: “Pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.” And they wondered at him.
18 Orduan ethor citecen harengana Sadduceuac, ceinéc erraiten baitute eztela resurrectioneric, eta interroga ceçaten, cioitela,
Next came some Sadducees — the men who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this —
19 Magistruá, Moysesec scribatu vkan diraucuc, baldin cembeiten anayea hil bada, eta vtzi badu emaztea, eta haourric vtzi ezpadu, har deçan haren anayac haren emaztea, eta eguin dieçón leinu bere anayeri.
“Teacher, in our Scriptures Moses decreed that, should a man’s brother die, leaving a widow but no child, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.
20 Cituán bada çazpi anaye: eta lehenac har cieçán emazte, eta hiltzean etzieçán leinuric vtzi.
There were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest took a wife, but died and left no family;
21 Eta bigarrenac har cieçán hura, eta hil ciedián, eta harc-ere etzieçán leinuric vtzi: eta hirurgarrenac halaber.
and the second took her, and died without family; and so did the third.
22 Eta har cieçateán hura çazpiéc, eta leinuric etzieçateán vtzi: gucietaco azquenenic hil ciedián emaztea-ere.
All the seven died and left no family. The woman herself died last of all.
23 Resurrectionean bada, resuscitatu diratenean hetaric ceinen emazte içanen da? Ecen çazpiéc hura emazte vkan dié.
At the resurrection whose wife will she be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”
24 Orduan ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ciecén, Eztuçue halacotz huts eguiten ceren ezpaitaquizquiçue Scripturác, ezeta Iaincoaren verthutea?
“Is not the reason of your mistake,” answered Jesus, “your ignorance of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
25 Ecen hiletaric resuscitatu diratenean, eztu nehorc emazteric harturen, ez emanen ezconçaz: baina içanen dirade ceruètaco Aingueruäc beçala.
When men rise from the dead, there is no marrying or being married; but they are as angels in Heaven.
26 Eta hiléz den becembatean, ecen resuscitatzen diradela, eztuçue iracurri Moysesen liburuan, nola berroan hari minçatu içan çayón Iaincoa, cioela, Ni naiz Abrahamen Iaincoa, eta Isaac-en Iaincoa, eta Iacob-en Iaincoa?
“As to the dead, and the fact that they rise, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God spoke to him thus — ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
27 Ezta hilén Iaincoa, baina vicién Iaincoa: çuec beraz haguitz enganatzen çarete.
He is not God of dead men, but of living. You are greatly mistaken.”
28 Eta ethor cedin Scribetaric cembeit, hec disputatzen ençunic, eta ikussiric ecen vngui ihardetsi cerauela, harc interroga ceçan, Cein da manamendu gucietaco lehena?
Then came up one of the Teachers of the Law who had heard their discussions. Knowing that Jesus had answered them wisely, he asked him this question: “What is the first of all the commandments?”
29 Eta Iesusec ihardets cieçón. Manamendu gucietaco lehena duc, Behadi Israel, gure Iainco Iauna, Iaun bakoitzbat duc.
“The first,” answered Jesus, “is — ‘Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is the one Lord;
30 Onhetsiren duc bada eure Iainco Iauna, eure bihotz guciaz, eta eure arima guciaz, eta eure pensamendu guciaz, eta eure ahal guciaz: haur duc lehen manamendua.
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.’
31 Eta bigarrenac hura irudi dic, Onhetsiren duc eure hurcoa eure buruä beçala: hauc baino berce manamendu handiagoric eztuc.
The second is this — ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thou dost love thyself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
32 Orduan erran cieçón Scriba harc, Vngui, Magistruá, eguiazqui erran duc, ecen Iaincobat dela eta harçaz berceric eztela:
“Wisely answered, Teacher!” exclaimed the Teacher of the Law. “It is true, as you say, that ‘there is one God,’ and that ‘there is no other besides him’;
33 Eta haren onhestea bihotz guciaz, eta adimendu guciaz, eta arima guciaz, eta indar guciaz: eta hurcoaren onhestea bere buruä beçala, guehiago dela ecen ez holocausta eta sacrificio guciac.
and to ‘love him with all one’s heart, and with all one’s understanding, and with all one’s strength,’ and to ‘love one’s neighbour as one loves oneself’ is far beyond all ‘burnt-offerings and sacrifices.’”
34 Eta Iesusec ikussi çuenean ecen harc çuhurqui ihardetsi çuela, erran cieçón, Ezaiz vrrun Iaincoaren resumatic. Eta nehor guehiagoric etzayón ausart interrogatzera.
Seeing that he had answered with discernment, Jesus said to him: “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” After that no one ventured to question him further.
35 Eta ihardesten çuela Iesusec erraiten çuen, templean iracasten ari cela, Nola dioite Scribéc ecen Christ Dauid-en seme dela?
While Jesus was teaching in the Temple Courts, he asked: “How is it that the Teachers of the Law say that the Christ is to be David’s son?
36 Ecen Dauid-ec berac erran du Spiritu sainduaren inspirationez, Erran drauca Iaunac ene Iaunari, Iar-adi ene escuinean, eçar ditzaquedano hire etsayac hire oinén scabella.
David said himself, speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit — ‘The Lord said to my lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I put thy enemies beneath thy feet.’”
37 Beraz Dauid-ec berac deitzen du hura Iaun: nondic da beraz haren seme? Eta gendetze anhitzec ençuten çuen hura gogotic.
David himself calls him ‘lord,’ how comes it, then, that he is to be his son?” The mass of the people listened to Jesus with delight.
38 Eta erraiten cerauen bere doctrinán, Beguirauçue Scriba arropa lucequin ebili nahi diradenetaric, eta salutationey merkatuetan on dariztenetaric,
In the course of his teaching, Jesus said: “See that you are on your guard against the Teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and to be greeted in the streets with respect,
39 Eta lehen cadirey synagoguetan, eta lehen placey banquetetan:
and to have the best seats in the Synagogues, and places of honour at dinner.
40 Iresten dituztela ema alhargunén etcheac, are luçaqui othoitz eguin irudiz: hauc recebituren duté condemnatione handiagoa.
They are the men that rob widows of their homes, and make a pretence of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier.”
41 Eta Iesusec truncoaren aurkán iarriric cegoela, gogoatzen çuen nola populuac diru emaiten çuen truncora, eta anhitz abratsec emaiten çutén anhitz.
Then Jesus sat down opposite the chests for the Temple offerings, and watched how the people put money into them. Many rich people were putting in large sums;
42 Eta ethorriric emazte alhargun paubre batec eman citzan bi peça chipi, baitziraden quadrantbat.
but one poor widow came and put in two farthings, which make a half-penny.
43 Orduan bere discipuluac beregana deithuric erran ciecén, Eguiaz diotsuet, ecen alhargun paubre hunec guehiago eman duela ecen ez truncora eman duten guciéc.
On this, calling his disciples to him, Jesus said: “I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than all the others who were putting money into the chests;
44 Ecen guciéc soberaturic çutenetic eman vkan duté, baina hunec eman du bere paubreciatic çuen gucia bayeta, bere sustantia gucia.
for every one else put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, put in all she had — everything that she had to live on.”
