Markos 12
1 Yisa ciziina udursuzu nani nin tinan tigoldo. A woro, “Umong unit wa billisu kunen akese kunin, a kuru a wuzu kuwu in pulu immen kumat nacha Ake-e kifi kizalang kinan cha, Abala Among kunen Anin suu uchin.
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 Na kubi nda, Afo-o gono katah me udu kiti nate na abala nanin kunene idi nighe kumat nacha kunene.
At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants, to receive from them a share of the produce of the vintage;
3 Itinna ikifheghe, Ifhoghe inin koghe anya nin na chara akone.
but they seized him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4 Akuru atọ nani nkang gono katah me, i lanzaghe ukul liti inin sughe imon inanzang.
A second time the owner sent a servant to them; this man, too, the tenants struck on the head, and insulted.
5 Akuru atoo nani nkang gono, kahh gone imolo kinin. Isuu among guardang nani nafo na iwa suu alele, iifho among nin molsu namong.
He sent another, but him they killed; and so with many others — some they beat and some they killed.
6 Adumun nimong ulenge na ama tü ghe, kinnayi me. Amere wadi unan ninalighe na awa tuu ghe udu kifimine, aworo, “imma seru gono nighe gegeme.”
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 Anan kibala kunene belle nati mine, ulelere kuwane, dan, timolughe, kunene so-o kunbit.
But those tenants said to one another ‘Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and his inheritance will be ours.’
8 I kiffoghe, imologhe iyiraghe ifillo ndas kunene.
So they seized him, and killed him, and threw his body outside the vineyard.
9 Bara ilemone, unan kunen kone ba ti iyizari? Ama dak ada molusu alle na ana ninaning kunene, anin yiru kunene ani among.
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 Ikkuna cheu iyizi ni iyert inne? “Litala loe aa anan makyekye na nari lining inlo indaso lifala likii kutiye.
‘Have you never read this passage of Scripture? — ‘The very stone which the builders despised has now itself become the corner-stone;
11 Ile mone kafa-a nchikilara ri ini dinin mamalci niyizi bite.”
this corner-stone has come from the Lord, and is marvellous in our eyes.’”
12 Pizira ukifu Yisa ku, bara nani ilanza fiw ligozin nanite, iyinno bara inughere awa suu toni tinan tigolde. Itina i sunghe ikifo libo min.
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 Inin tọ among a Farisiyawa nan na Hirudiyawa udu kitime, inan taghe a tana uliru.
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 Na ida, iworoghe, “Unan dursuzu, tiyirufii unan kidegen ghari, na udin feruanitba. Kidegen ri udin dursuzu libo Kutellẹ. Udut an yinna ini siza ku ugaudua sa babu? ti niza sa babu?”
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 Yisa uni wa yining kirusuzu nati mene abele nani, “Yaghari unta idiu dumuzini? dan nani fikurfung nyene finin.”
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 Ida na ise ku firung. a woro nanin, “ulele umuro nin niyerti nghari?” Iworo, “unkaisarari.”
And, when they had brought it, he asked: “Whose head and title are these?” “The Emperor’s,” they said;
17 Yisa woro naning, “nan kaisar ku ile imon na idi nkaisar tutung ini Kutellẹ ille imon na idi in Kutellẹ.” I lanza umamakime.
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 Tutung a a Sandukiyawa da kitime, inug alle na idin du na ufitu nanan nkul duku ba, Itirighe, iworo,
Next came some Sadducees — the men who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this —
19 “unan dursuzu, Musa wayertin nari mun, 'gwanan mon nwa ku a suna uwanime, sa gono, unite yira uwani gwana, a mara gwane gono.'
“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 Amon wa duku inun kuzor linuawana unan burnu mine yira uwani a kü sa gono. Unan dortine yira uwane akuru akü sa gono.
There were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest took a wife, but died and left no family;
21 Unan tatte nanere.
and the second took her, and died without family; and so did the third.
22 Ame unan zorre da kü sa gone, umalzine vat uwa ne wang kü. Lirinfitin yï, iwa fita tutun.
All the seven died and left no family. The woman herself died last of all.
23 Uwani nghari ma yitu? bara inug vat mine kuzore wasu ilugma ninghe.”
At the resurrection whose wife will she be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”
24 Yisa woro, “Na imon ilenge na ita idin tazuna ile ba, bara na anunghe yiru uliru Kutellẹ sa likara me ba?
“Is not the reason of your mistake,” answered Jesus, “your ignorance of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
25 Iwa fita liri Fitin ye na iba su ilugma ba a na iba ni ilugma ba, imaso nafo nono kadura Kutellẹ kitene kani.
When men rise from the dead, there is no marrying or being married; but they are as angels in Heaven.
26 Ubellen nanan kul na iwa fiya nani, na ina cisu iyizi niyerten Musa ba, inbeleng kukot, na Kutellẹ wa lirin ninghe, a woroghe 'Menghere Kutellẹn Ibrahim, Kutellẹ Ishaku nin Kutellẹ Yakub'?
“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 Na ame Kutellẹ nanan kula-ari ba, kun nan laiyari. Anughe din ntazunu kang.”
He is not God of dead men, but of living. You are greatly mistaken.”
28 Umong nanya nanan niyerte da ada lanza nliru min; ayene Yisa nkawa nanin gegeme, atiringhe, “uyeme uduka kufelteari ucine vat?”
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 Yisa kawa, “ucine nanye vat unere, 'Lanzang, Ana Isrela, Cikilari Kutellẹ bite, Cikilare uwarumari.
“The first,” answered Jesus, “is — ‘Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is the one Lord;
30 Ubati usü Kutellẹ nin kibinai fe vat, nin kidowo fe vat, nin kpiluzu fe vat, umunu likarafe vat.'
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 Unba me unere, uma yinnu nin nan lisosin kupofe nafo litife.' Na umon uduuka udia duku ukatiin ulele ba.”
The second is this — ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thou dost love thyself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
32 Anan ninyerte woro, “uchaun na, unan dursuzu! Ubelle kidegen Kutellẹ kurumari, Tutung na nkon Kutellẹ duku ba, amere chas.
“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 Uma yinnin ninghe vat nin kibinai fe vat nin yirrufe, vat nin kodowo fe, vat nin likara fe, ukuru uyinnin nin nan lisosin kupofe nafo nafo litife, ukatin unakpizu nimon jujuzu mine inbon Kutellẹ nin chant kang.”
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 Na Yisa wa yene akawa gegeme, a woroghe, “Na udi piit nin kilari tigo Kutellẹ ba.” Nani na uman kuru amalla utiringhe nimomon tutung ba.
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 Yisa wa din dursuzu nani nanya kutee nlira a tardda nani a woro, “Uduziyari anan ninyerte na woro unan tuchu usaun Dauda?
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 Dauda litime, nanya infin Kutellẹn, wa woro 'Cikilare wa woro in Cikilari nin, so nchara ulime nin, udu kubi ko na uba patilu anan Nivirafe.'
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 Dauda nin litime wa yicilla unan tuchẹ 'Chikilari' Iyiziyari ama so usaun Dauda?” Ligozi nanite lanza ghe nin nibineyi nibọ.
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 Nanyan ndursuzu me Yisa woro, “Sug seng nin nanan ninyerte, alege na idinin sun sho nalituk adidya nin woru isu nanin ilip ugang nanyan nkasau,
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 nin natet lisosin adidya nanya kuteen nliran nin niti nididya kiti tibuki.
and to have the best seats in the Synagogues, and places of honour at dinner.
40 Idin bolsu nilari na wani alle na ales mine na kuzzu, Asa itiza nlira mi jangaram anit nan yenje nani bara nani iba seru uneu udiya.”
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 Yisa do adi so-o likot adiin yenjuu kitin tusu nikurfun nanya kuttii nlira; awa din yenju nanite na iwa din ntusu nikurfung nanya kitin tussu ni kurfung. Ndiya nanan nimon na chara wadin tussu ninime gwargwardang.
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 Umon uwani ukimon unan dirum nles, da ada to-o anini abaku.
but one poor widow came and put in two farthings, which make a half-penny.
43 Yisa yichilla nono kattah me ligowe aworo nani, “Kidegen nbellin munu, uwani ulele kikimon unan diru nles ile mon na ato-o ikafin in nanan tusse vat.
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 Vat mine i nyofizo nanya nse miner. Amme ule uwae unan dirin nles wani vat ilemon na adamu.”
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.”
