< Mark 12 >

1 He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
Anih mah nihcae khaeah patahhaih hoiah lokthuih pae. Kami maeto mah misur takha tawnh, sipae a thungh boih pacoengah, misurtui pasawhaih long to takaeh moe, toephaih im to a sak, a thungah toksah kaminawk khaeah takha a tlaisak pacoengah, angmah loe kholong kangthla ah caeh.
2 When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
Athaih pakhrikhaih tue phak naah, toksah kaminawk khae hoi athaih lak hanah, takha thung toksah kaminawk khaeah tamna maeto a patoeh.
3 They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
Nihcae mah to kami to naeh o moe, boh o pacoengah, bangkrai ah patoeh o.
4 Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
Anih mah kalah tamna nihcae khaeah patoeh let; anih to thlung hoiah vah o pongah lu ah ahmaa oh, anih to azat thok parai ah sak o pacoengah, patoeh o ving.
5 Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
Anih mah kalah tamna to patoeh let bae; to kami to nihcae mah hum o, kalah pop parai tamnanawk thung ih thoemto kaminawk to a boh o moe, thoemto kaminawk loe hum o.
6 Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
To tiah om cadoeh a palung duek ih, a capa maeto tawnh vop, hnukkhuem koek ah anih to nihcae khaeah patoeh, nihcae mah ka capa loe saiqat o tih hmang, tiah a poek.
7 But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
Toe takha thung toksah kaminawk mah, Hae kami loe qawktoep kung ah oh; angzo oh, anih to hum o si, to tiah sak nahaeloe qawk loe aicae taham ah om tih, tiah a thuih o.
8 They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
Nihcae mah anih to naeh o moe, hum o pacoengah, misur takha tasa bangah vah o.
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
To tiah nahaeloe misur takha tawnkung mah nihcae to kawbangmaw sah tih? Anih to angzo tih, takha thungah toksah kaminawk to hum ueloe, misur takha to kalah kaminawk khaeah paek tih.
10 Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner.
Imsah kaminawk mah pahnawt o sut ih thlung loe im takii ih kacak koek thlung ah oh boeh:
11 This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?”
hae loe Angraeng mah sak ih hmuen ah oh moe, aicae mikhnuk ah loe dawnrai hmuen ah oh, tiah tarik ih cabu to na kroek o vai ai maw? tiah a naa.
12 They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him and went away.
Anih mah thuih ih patahhaih lok loe nihcae thuih koehhaih ih ni, tiah panoek o naah, anih naeh thai hanah atue karaem to pakrong o, toe kaminawk to zit o: to pongah anih to caeh o taak ving.
13 They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
Anih mah thuih ih lok pongah zaehaih naeh thaih hanah, Farasinawk hoi thoemto Herod kaminawk Jesu khaeah patoeh o.
14 When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
To kaminawk phak o naah, nihcae mah anih khaeah, Patukkung, nang loe loktang lok to na thuih, mi kawbaktih zithaih doeh na tawn ai: kaminawk ih mikhmai doeh na khen ai, Sithaw ih loklam to loktang ah na patuk, tito kang panoek o: to pongah Caesar khaeah tamut paek han krak maw, krah ai?
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”
Ka paek o han maw, to tih ai boeh loe ka paek o mak ai? tiah a naa o. Toe nihcae mah alinghaih hoiah sak o ih hmuen to anih mah panoek pae pongah, nihcae khaeah, Tipongah nang tanoek o loe? Phoisa maeto na sin oh, khen noek ue, tiah a naa.
16 They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
Nihcae mah phoisa to sin pae o. Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Hae ih krang hoi tarik ih ca loe mi ih maw? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah anih khaeah, Caesar ih, tiah a naa o.
17 Jesus answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.
Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Caesar ih hmuennawk to Caesar khaeah paek oh loe, Sithaw ih hmuennawk to Sithaw khaeah paek oh, tiah a naa. Nihcae loe anih nuiah dawnrai o.
18 Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
Angthawk lethaih om ai, tiah kathui Sadusinawk anih khaeah angzoh o moe, anih to lokdueng o.
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
Patukkung, Mosi mah kaicae khaeah, Kami maeto ih amya loe, caa sah ai ah a zu to dueh taak ving nahaeloe, anih ih zu to amnawk mah la ueloe, amya hanah atii pakhrah pae tih, tiah tarik ih oh.
20 There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
Nawkamya sarihto oh o: nihcae thungah kacoeh koek loe zu lak, toe caa sah ai ah a zu to duek taak ving.
21 The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
Hnetto haih amnawk mah to nongpata to lak, toe caa sah ai ah duek taak let bae: to tiah thumto haih amnawk mah doeh caa sah ai ah a duek ving.
22 and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
Nawkamya sarihto mah, nongpata to zu o haih boih: toe caa sah ai, hnukkhuem koek ah loe nongpata doeh duek toeng.
23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”
Angthawk lethaih niah nihcae angthawk o naah, to nongpata loe mi ih zu ah maw om tih? Mi sarihto mah zu o haih boih, tiah a naa o.
24 Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God?
Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Cabu thung ih loknawk to na panoek o ai moe, Sithaw thacakhaih na panoek o ai pongah, na poek o pazae boeh.
25 For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
Duekhaih hoiah nihcae angthawk o naah loe, zu lakhaih to om mak ai, zu sava ah ohhaih doeh om mak ai boeh; van prae ih van kaminawk baktiah ni om o tih boeh.
26 But about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
Kadueh kaminawk angthawkhaih kawng pongah, kabuk thingqam thung hoiah Sithaw mah Mosi khaeah, Kai loe Abraham ih Sithaw, Isak ih Sithaw, Jakob ih Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah thuih ih lok to Mosi ih cabu thungah na kroek o vai ai maw?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
Anih loe kadueh kaminawk ih Sithaw na ai, kahing kaminawk ih Sithaw ah ni oh: to pongah na poek o pazae boeh, tiah a naa.
28 One of the scribes came and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”
To pacoengah ca tarik kami maeto angzoh, nihcae lok angaekhaih lok to anih mah thaih, nihcae ih lok to Jesu mah kahoihah pathim pae, tiah panoek naah, anih khaeah, Kaalok boih thungah kawbaktih kaalok maw lokpui koek? tiah a dueng.
29 Jesus answered, “The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Jesu mah anih khaeah, Aicae Angraeng Sithaw loe Angraeng maeto ah ni oh: Aw Isarael kaminawk, tahngai oh, kaalok boih thungah hmaloe koek loe,
30 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
na Angraeng Sithaw to palungthin boih, na hinghaih boih, na poekhaih boih, na thacakhaih boih hoiah palung ah: hae loe hmaloe koek kaalok ah oh.
31 The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Hnetto haih loe, Na imtaeng kami to na takpum baktih toengah palung ah, tiah thuih ih lok hae ni. Hae hnetto pongah kalen kue kalah kaalok roe om ai boeh, tiah a naa.
32 The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he;
Ca tarik kami mah anih khaeah, Patukkung, na thuih ih lok loe hoih, Sithaw maeto khue ni oh, tiah thuih ih lok loe loktang ah ni oh: anih ai ah loe kalah Sithaw roe om ai.
33 and to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
Anih to palungthin boih, panoekhaih boih, hinghaih boih, thacakhaih boih hoiah palung moe, a imtaeng kami to angmah baktih toengah palunghaih loe, hmai angbawnhaih hoi hmuen paekhaihnawk pongah doeh lokpui kue, tiah a naa.
34 When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” No one dared ask him any question after that.
Jesu mah palunghahaih hoiah lok pathim pae, tito panoek naah, anih khaeah, Nang loe Sithaw mah siangpahrang ah uk ih prae hoiah nang thla ai boeh, tiah a naa. To pacoengah loe mi mah doeh anih khaeah lokdueng o ai boeh.
35 Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
Jesu mah tempul thungah patuk naah, anih mah hae tiah thuih, Ca tarik kaminawk mah kawbangmaw Kri loe David ih capa ni, tiah thuih o?
36 For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
David angmah mataeng doeh Kacai Muithla rang hoiah, Angraeng mah kai ih Angraeng khaeah, Na misanawk na khok tlim ah ka suem ai karoek to, ka bantang bangah anghnu ah, tiah a naa.
37 Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.
David angmah mataeng doeh anih to Angraeng, tiah kawk; to tiah nahaeloe kawbangah maw Anih loe David ih capa ah oh lat? tiah a dueng.
38 In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,
Jesu mah patuk naah nihcae khaeah, Ca tarik kaminawk khae hoi acoe oh, nihcae loe kahni kasawk to angkhuk o moe, hmuenmae zawhhaih ahmuennawk ah saiqat paekhaih to a koeh o,
39 and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts,

40 those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
nihcae mah lamhmainawk ih im to lomh pae o moe, angsak cophaih hoiah atue kasawkah lawk a thuih o, tiah a naa.
41 Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
Jesu loe tangka pacaenghaih tabu taengah anghnut moe, kaminawk mah kawbangmaw phoisa tabu thungah phoisa pacaeng o, tito a khet: angraeng parai kaminawk mah loe phoisa to kapop ah pacaeng o.
42 A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.
To naah lamhmai mithoe maeto angzoh moe, phoisa dip hnetto a pacaeng, to phoisa dip hnetto loe phoisa pia maeto ah oh.
43 He called his disciples to himself and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,
Anih mah a hnukbang kaminawk angmah khaeah kawk moe, nihcae khaeah, Loktang kang thuih o, phoisa tabu thungah pacaeng kaminawk boih thungah, kapop kue ah phoisa pacaeng kami loe hae lamhmai mithoe hae ni.
44 for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”
Nihcae boih loe a tawnh o ih kamtlai thung hoiah ni a paek o; toe lamhmai nongpata loe, amtanghaih thung hoiah a hing thung a tawnh ih, hmuen boih a paek kik boeh, tiah a naa.
