< 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.
Te phoeiah amih taengah nuettahnah neh thui ham a tong tih, “Hlang pakhat loh misur a tue tih vongtung a tung, rhom a too, imsang a sak. Te phoeiah lotawn rhoek te a phaam sak tih vik yiin.
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.
A tue vaengah lotawn taengkah misur thaih coi ham sal pakhat te lotawn rhoek taengla a tueih.
3 They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
Tedae anih te a tuuk uh phoeiah a boh uh tih a tlongtlai la a tueih uh.
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.
Te phoeiah sal a tloe te amih taengla koep a tueih hatah anih te khaw a vuek uh tih yah a bai uh.
5 Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
Te phoeiah a tloe te a tueih dae te khaw a ngawn uh tih a tloe rhoek muep a tueih te, a ngen a boh uh tih a ngawn uh.
6 Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
Capa thintlo pakhat a khueh pueng tih, “Ka capa te a yahnah uh ni,” a ti dongah a capa te amih taengla a hnukkhueng ah a tueih.
7 But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
Tedae lotawn rhoek loh amamih te, “Anih tah rhopangkung ni. Halo anih he ngawn uh sih. Te daengah ni mamih kah rho la a om eh?,” a ti uh.
8 They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
Anih te a tuuk uh tih a ngawn uh phoeiah misurdum lamkah loh vawl a voeih uh.
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
Te koinih misurdum kungmah loh balae a saii eh? A paan vetih lotawn rhoek te a poci sak phoeiah misurdum te a tloe rhoek taengah a paek ni.
10 Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner.
Cacim he na tae uh pawt nim? Im sa rhoek loh a hnawt lungto te imkil kah a lu la poeh.
11 This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?”
Hekah he Boeipa lamkah ha thoeng tih mamih mik ah aka khuet la om?” a ti nah.
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.
Nuettahnah a thui te amih ni tila a ming uh dongah amah tuuk ham a mae uh. Tedae hlangping te a rhih uh dongah anih te a toeng uh tih cet uh.
13 They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
Te phoeiah olka neh tuengkhuep ham Jesuh taengla Pharisee rhoek neh Herod hlang rhoek kah hlangvang rhoek te a tueih uh.
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?
A pha uh vaengah Jesuh te, “Boeipa, a thuem la na om tih hlang maelhmai te na sawt pawt dongah u taengah khaw na birhih pawh. Pathen kah oltak longpuei te ni na thuituen tila ka ming uh. Te dongah Kaisar taengah mangmu paek ham a ngaih a?, a ngaih moenih a? Pae sih a? Pae boel sih a?” a ti uh.
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.”
Tedae amih kah thailatnah te a hmuh tih amih te, “Balae kai nan noemcai uh? Kai taengla denari hang khuen lamtah ka so lah eh,” a ti nah.
16 They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
Te dongah a khuen uh hatah amih taengah, “A muei neh a ming he u kah nim he?” a ti nah vaengah, “Kaisar kah,” a ti uh.
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.
Jesuh long khaw amih te, “Kaisar kah te Kaisar taengah, Pathen kah te Pathen taengah thuung uh,” a ti nah tih a taengah a ngaihmang uh.
18 Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
Te phoeiah Sadducee rhoek loh a taengla a paan uh. Te rhoek loh, “Thohkoepnah om mahpawh,” a ti uh.
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.’
Te vaengah anih te a dawt uh tih, “Saya, Moses loh kaimih ham, “Khat khat kah a manuca tah duek tih a yuu te camoe khueh kolla a caehtak atah, a manuca patoeng loh a yuu te pang saeh lamtah a manuca kah a tiingan te thoh saeh tila a daek.
20 There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
Boeinaphung parhih om uh tih lamhma te yuu a loh dae duek tih a tiingan khueh pawh.
21 The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
A pabae long khaw anih a pang dae duek tih a tiingan caehtak bal pawh. A pathum long khaw amah boeiloeih la om.
22 and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
A parhih long khaw a tiingan khueh pawh. A hnukkhueng ah huta te khaw duek.
23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”
Anih te parhih loh a yuu la a khueh uh dongah thohkoepnah khuiah a thoh uh vaengah amih khuiah u yuu lamlae a om eh?” a ti uh.
24 Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God?
Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Cacim neh Pathen kah saithainah aka ming pawt loh n'rhaithi uh dongah moenih a he?
25 For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
Duek lamkah a thoh uh vaengah yuloh vasak om mahpawh, rhaihlan khaw om mahpawh, vaan puencawn rhoek bangla om uh coeng.
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’?
Tedae aka duek rhoek a thoh uh te Moses cabu khuiah na tae uh pawt nim? Pathen loh tangpuem khuiah anih a voek vaengah, ' Kai tah Abraham kah Pathen, Isaak kah Pathen neh Jakob kah Pathen ni,’ a ti nah.
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
Pathen tah aka duek rhoek kah pawt tih aka hing rhoek kah ni. Bahoeng n'rhaithi uh coeng la he,” a ti nah.
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?”
Te vaengah amih a oelh uh thae te cadaek pakhat loh a yaak dongah a paan. Tedae amih a voek te thuem tila a hmuh. Te dongah Jesuh te, “Olpaek boeih khuiah melae tanglue la aka om,” tila a dawt.
29 Jesus answered, “The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Jesuh loh, “Aw Israel hnatun lah, mamih kah Boeipa, Boeipa Pathen pakhat ni a om.
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.
Te dongah na Boeipa Pathen te na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih, na kopoek boeih, na thadueng boeih neh lungnah ' a ti te lamhma la om.
31 The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
A pabae ah na imben te namah bangla lungnah. He rhoi lakah aka tanglue olpaek a tloe om pawh,” a ti nah.
32 The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he;
Te dongah cadaek loh Jesuh te, “Thuem, saya, pakhat bueng om tih amah phoeiah a tloe om pawh tila oltak te na thui coeng.
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.”
Pathen te thinko boeih neh, yakmingnah boeih neh, thadueng boeih neh, lungnah tih imben te amah bangla lungnah ham te hmaihlutnah neh hmueih boeih lakah olpuei la om,” a ti nah.
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.
Anih loh cat a doo te Jesuh loh a hmuh vaengah anih te, “Pathen kah ram lamloh lakhla la na om ngawn pawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah tah Jesuh te dawt ham ngaingaih uh voel pawh.
35 Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
Jesuh loh bawkim ah a thuituen tih a doo vaengah, “Cadaek rhoek loh metlam, ' Khrih tah David capa ni,’ tila a thui?
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 amah loh Mueihla Cim rhangneh, ' Boeipa loh ka Boeipa te ' Na rhal rhoek te na kho hmuiah ka khueh hlan atah kai kah bantang ah ngol dae ' a ti nah,’ a ti.
37 Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.
Anih te David amah long pataeng Boeipa la a khue atah metlamlae a capa la a om eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah hlangping te yet loh liplip a hnatun.
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,
Te phoeiah amah kah thuituennah khuiah, “Hnikul neh pongpa tih hnoyoih hmuen ah toidalnah ham,
39 and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts,
tunim ah ngolhmuen then neh buhkung ah hmuensang aka ngaih cadaek rhoek te dawn uh.
40 those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
Te rhoek loh nuhmai rhoek kah im a yoop uh tih mueituengnah ham khing thangthuiuh. Amih tah laitloeknah a yook uh khungdaeng bitni,” a ti nah.
41 Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
Te phoeiah tangkabu hmaiah ngol tih hlangping loh tangkabu khuiah rhohum a sang vaengah a kumngai kuirhang rhoek loh muep a sang uh te a hmuh.
42 A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.
Te vaengah nuhmai khodeng pakhat ha pawk tih mucih panit a sang. Te tah pekhat lo ni.
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,
Te dongah a hnukbang rhoek te a khue tih, “Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, tangkabu khuila aka sang rhoek boeih lakah hekah nuhmai khodaeng loh a sang ngai.
44 for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”
Hlang boeih loh amamih taengkah a coih te a sang uh dae anih tah a vawtthoek khui lamkah a khuehtawn boeih a khosaknah boeih te bitbit a sang coeng,” a ti nah.
