On one of the days while he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the gospel, there came up the priest and the Scribes with the elders.
2 ཀཡཱཛྙཡཱ ཏྭཾ ཀརྨྨཱཎྱེཏཱནི ཀརོཥི? ཀོ ཝཱ ཏྭཱམཱཛྙཱཔཡཏ྄? ཏདསྨཱན྄ ཝད།
They spoke to him saying. "Tell us by what authority you are doing these things? Who is it that gave you this authority?"
3 ས པྲཏྱུཝཱཙ, ཏརྷི ཡུཥྨཱནཔི ཀཐཱམེཀཱཾ པྲྀཙྪཱམི ཏསྱོཏྟརཾ ཝདཏ།
"I will also ask you a question," he replied.
4 ཡོཧནོ མཛྫནམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ མཱནུཥཱཎཱཾ ཝཱཛྙཱཏོ ཛཱཏཾ?
"Was John’s baptism from heaven or from man?"
5 ཏཏསྟེ མིཐོ ཝིཝིཙྱ ཛགདུཿ, ཡདཱིཤྭརསྱ ཝདཱམསྟརྷི ཏཾ ཀུཏོ ན པྲཏྱཻཏ ས ཨིཏི ཝཀྵྱཏི།
So they reasoned among themselves. "If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why did you not believe in him?’
6 ཡདི མནུཥྱསྱེཏི ཝདཱམསྟརྷི སཪྻྭེ ལོཀཱ ཨསྨཱན྄ པཱཥཱཎཻ རྷནིཥྱནྟི ཡཏོ ཡོཧན྄ བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདཱིཏི སཪྻྭེ དྲྀཌྷཾ ཛཱནནྟི།
"And if we say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us, for they were persuaded that Johnwas a prophet."
7 ཨཏཨེཝ ཏེ པྲཏྱཱུཙུཿ ཀསྱཱཛྙཡཱ ཛཱཏམ྄ ཨིཏི ཝཀྟུཾ ན ཤཀྣུམཿ།
So they answered that they did not know whence it was.
8 ཏདཱ ཡཱིཤུརཝདཏ྄ ཏརྷི ཀཡཱཛྙཡཱ ཀརྨྨཱཎྱེཏཱཏི ཀརོམཱིཏི ཙ ཡུཥྨཱན྄ ན ཝཀྵྱཱམི།
"Nor will I tell you," Jesus answered, "by whose authority I do these things."
9 ཨཐ ལོཀཱནཱཾ སཱཀྵཱཏ྄ ས ཨིམཱཾ དྲྀཥྚཱནྟཀཐཱཾ ཝཀྟུམཱརེབྷེ, ཀཤྩིད྄ དྲཱཀྵཱཀྵེཏྲཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཏཏ྄ ཀྵེཏྲཾ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱནཱཾ ཧསྟེཥུ སམརྤྱ བཧུཀཱལཱརྠཾ དཱུརདེཤཾ ཛགཱམ།
Then he began to tell the people this parable. "There was a man who planted a vineyard, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went to another country for a long time.
10 ཨཐ ཕལཀཱལེ ཕལཱནི གྲཧཱིཏུ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱནཱཾ སམཱིཔེ དཱསཾ པྲཱཧིཎོཏ྄ ཀིནྟུ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱསྟཾ པྲཧྲྀཏྱ རིཀྟཧསྟཾ ཝིསསརྫུཿ།
"At harvest-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers, to ask them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dresser beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
11 ཏཏཿ སོདྷིཔཏིཿ པུནརནྱཾ དཱསཾ པྲེཥཡཱམཱས, ཏེ ཏམཔི པྲཧྲྀཏྱ ཀུཝྱཝཧྲྀཏྱ རིཀྟཧསྟཾ ཝིསསྲྀཛུཿ།
"Then he sent another slave; and him also they flogged and handled shamefully and sent him away empty-handed.
12 ཏཏཿ ས ཏྲྀཏཱིཡཝཱརམ྄ ཨནྱཾ པྲཱཧིཎོཏ྄ ཏེ ཏམཔི ཀྵཏཱངྒཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ བཧི རྣིཙིཀྵིཔུཿ།
"Then he sent yet a third, and him to they wounded and threw him out.
13 ཏདཱ ཀྵེཏྲཔཏི ཪྻིཙཱརཡཱམཱས, མམེདཱནཱིཾ ཀིཾ ཀརྟྟཝྱཾ? མམ པྲིཡེ པུཏྲེ པྲཧིཏེ ཏེ ཏམཝཤྱཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ སམཱདརིཥྱནྟེ།
"Then the master of the vineyard said. "‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved Son; it may be that they will reverence him.’
14 ཀིནྟུ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱསྟཾ ནིརཱིཀྵྱ པརསྤརཾ ཝིཝིཙྱ པྲོཙུཿ, ཨཡམུཏྟརཱདྷིཀཱརཱི ཨཱགཙྪཏཻནཾ ཧནྨསྟཏོདྷིཀཱརོསྨཱཀཾ བྷཝིཥྱཏི།
"But when the vine-dressers saw him, they reasoned together, saying. ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours.’
15 ཏཏསྟེ ཏཾ ཀྵེཏྲཱད྄ བཧི རྣིཔཱཏྱ ཛགྷྣུསྟསྨཱཏ྄ ས ཀྵེཏྲཔཏིསྟཱན྄ པྲཏི ཀིཾ ཀརིཥྱཏི?
"So they turned him out of the vineyard and killed him. "What will the master of the vineyard do to them?
16 ས ཨཱགཏྱ ཏཱན྄ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱན྄ ཧཏྭཱ པརེཥཱཾ ཧསྟེཥུ ཏཏྐྵེཏྲཾ སམརྤཡིཥྱཏི; ཨིཏི ཀཐཱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཏེ ྅ཝདན྄ ཨེཏཱདྲྀཤཱི གྷཊནཱ ན བྷཝཏུ།
"He will come and destroy those vine-dressers, and will give the vineyard to others."
17 ཀིནྟུ ཡཱིཤུསྟཱནཝལོཀྱ ཛགཱད, ཏརྷི, སྠཔཏཡཿ ཀརིཥྱནྟི གྲཱཝཱཎཾ ཡནྟུ ཏུཙྪཀཾ། པྲདྷཱནཔྲསྟརཿ ཀོཎེ ས ཨེཝ ཧི བྷཝིཥྱཏི། ཨེཏསྱ ཤཱསྟྲཱིཡཝཙནསྱ ཀིཾ ཏཱཏྤཪྻྱཾ?
He looked at them and said. "Then what does this scripture mean. "The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner?
18 ཨཔརཾ ཏཏྤཱཥཱཎོཔརི ཡཿ པཏིཥྱཏི ས བྷཾཀྵྱཏེ ཀིནྟུ ཡསྱོཔརི ས པཱཥཱཎཿ པཏིཥྱཏི ས ཏེན དྷཱུལིཝཙ྄ ཙཱུརྞཱིབྷཝིཥྱཏི།
"Every one who falls on that stone will be broken in pieces; but whoever it falls upon will be scattered as dust."
19 སོསྨཱཀཾ ཝིརུདྡྷཾ དྲྀཥྚཱནྟམིམཾ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཨིཏི ཛྙཱཏྭཱ པྲདྷཱནཡཱཛཀཱ ཨདྷྱཱཔཀཱཤྩ ཏདཻཝ ཏཾ དྷརྟུཾ ཝཝཱཉྪུཿ ཀིནྟུ ལོཀེབྷྱོ བིབྷྱུཿ།
At this the Scribes and the high priests were seeking to arrest him; only they were afraid of the people. For they perceived that he had referred to them in this parable.
20 ཨཏཨེཝ ཏཾ པྲཏི སཏརྐཱཿ སནྟཿ ཀཐཾ ཏདྭཱཀྱདོཥཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ ཏཾ དེཤཱདྷིཔསྱ སཱདྷུཝེཤདྷཱརིཎཤྩརཱན྄ ཏསྱ སམཱིཔེ པྲེཥཡཱམཱསུཿ།
So they watched him, and sent spies who pretended to be honest men, in order to seize on his speech, and to deliver him up to authority and jurisdiction of the governor.
21 ཏདཱ ཏེ ཏཾ པཔྲཙྪུཿ, ཧེ ཨུཔདེཤཀ བྷཝཱན྄ ཡཐཱརྠཾ ཀཐཡན྄ ཨུཔདིཤཏི, ཀམཔྱནཔེཀྵྱ སཏྱཏྭེནཻཤྭརཾ མཱརྒམུཔདིཤཏི, ཝཡམེཏཛྫཱནཱིམཿ།
So they put a question to him saying. "Rabbi, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not regard any man’s person, but teach the way of God honestly.
22 ཀཻསརརཱཛཱཡ ཀརོསྨཱབྷི རྡེཡོ ན ཝཱ?
"Is it lawful for us to pay tribute to Caesar or not?"
23 ས ཏེཥཱཾ ཝཉྩནཾ ཛྙཱཏྭཱཝདཏ྄ ཀུཏོ མཱཾ པརཱིཀྵདྷྭེ? མཱཾ མུདྲཱམེཀཾ དརྴཡཏ།
But he perceived their knavery and answered.
24 ཨིཧ ལིཁིཏཱ མཱུརྟིརིཡཾ ནཱམ ཙ ཀསྱ? ཏེ྅ཝདན྄ ཀཻསརསྱ།
"Show me a shilling. Whose image and superscription does it bear?" "Caesar’s," they replied.
25 ཏདཱ ས ཨུཝཱཙ, ཏརྷི ཀཻསརསྱ དྲཝྱཾ ཀཻསརཱཡ དཏྟ; ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ ཏུ དྲཝྱམཱིཤྭརཱཡ དཏྟ།
"Then give to Caesar what belongs to him," he said, "to God give what is God’s."
26 ཏསྨཱལློཀཱནཱཾ སཱཀྵཱཏ྄ ཏཏྐཐཱཡཱཿ ཀམཔི དོཥཾ དྷརྟུམཔྲཱཔྱ ཏེ ཏསྱོཏྟརཱད྄ ཨཱཤྩཪྻྱཾ མནྱམཱནཱ མཽནིནསྟསྠུཿ།
So they could not lay hold of his sayings before the people; and marveling at his answer, they held their peace.
27 ཨཔརཉྩ ཤྨཤཱནཱདུཏྠཱནཱནངྒཱིཀཱརིཎཱཾ སིདཱུཀིནཱཾ ཀིཡནྟོ ཛནཱ ཨཱགཏྱ ཏཾ པཔྲཙྪུཿ,
Next came some of the Sadducees who deny that there is resurrection, and they asked him.
28 ཧེ ཨུཔདེཤཀ ཤཱསྟྲེ མཱུསཱ ཨསྨཱན྄ པྲཏཱིཏི ལིལེཁ ཡསྱ བྷྲཱཏཱ བྷཱཪྻྱཱཡཱཾ སཏྱཱཾ ནིཿསནྟཱནོ མྲིཡཏེ ས ཏཛྫཱཡཱཾ ཝིཝཧྱ ཏདྭཾཤམ྄ ཨུཏྤཱདཡིཥྱཏི།
"Teacher, Moses wrote a law for us that if a man’s brother should die, but leave no children, his brother should take up his wife and raise up his children for his brother.
29 ཏཐཱཙ ཀེཙིཏ྄ སཔྟ བྷྲཱཏར ཨཱསན྄ ཏེཥཱཾ ཛྱེཥྛོ བྷྲཱཏཱ ཝིཝཧྱ ནིརཔཏྱཿ པྲཱཎཱན྄ ཛཧཽ།
"Now there were seven brothers. the first took a wife and died childless,

"and the second and third took her,

"and likewise all the seven, but left no children when they died.
32 ཤེཥེ སཱ སྟྲཱི ཙ མམཱར།
"Last of all the woman died too.

"In the resurrection whose wife shall she be? For they all seven had her as wife."
"People in this world marry and are given in marriage," said Jesus, (aiōn g165)
35 ཀིནྟུ ཡེ ཏཛྫགཏྤྲཱཔྟིཡོགྱཏྭེན གཎིཏཱཾ བྷཝིཥྱནྟི ཤྨཤཱནཱཙྩོཏྠཱསྱནྟི ཏེ ན ཝིཝཧནྟི ཝཱགྡཏྟཱཤྩ ན བྷཝནྟི, (aiōn g165)
"but those who are counted worthy to reach that world and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 ཏེ པུན རྣ མྲིཡནྟེ ཀིནྟུ ཤྨཤཱནཱདུཏྠཱཔིཏཱཿ སནྟ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ སནྟཱནཱཿ སྭརྒཱིཡདཱུཏཱནཱཾ སདྲྀཤཱཤྩ བྷཝནྟི།
"For indeed they cannot die any more; they are equal to the angels, and through being sons of the resurrection are sons of God.

"But that the dead are raised, even Moses clearly implied in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord. "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.

"Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to him all are alive.’
39 ཨིཏི ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཀིཡནྟོདྷྱཱཔཀཱ ཨཱུཙུཿ, ཧེ ཨུཔདེཤཀ བྷཝཱན྄ བྷདྲཾ པྲཏྱུཀྟཝཱན྄།
Then some of the Scribes said, "Teacher, that was nobly said,"
40 ཨིཏཿ པརཾ ཏཾ ཀིམཔི པྲཥྚཾ ཏེཥཱཾ པྲགལྦྷཏཱ ནཱབྷཱུཏ྄།
for they no longer dared to ask him any questions.

"How is it," he asked them, "that they say that Christ is David’s son?

Then, in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples.

"Beware of the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes, and dote on salutations in the marketplaces, and on securing the front seats in the synagogues and the best places at banquets;
