Marka 12
1 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.
And He began to speak to them in allegories: “A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and dug a wine vat, and built a tower, and gave it out to farmers, and went abroad;
2 Athaih pakhrikhaih tue phak naah, toksah kaminawk khae hoi athaih lak hanah, takha thung toksah kaminawk khaeah tamna maeto a patoeh.
and he sent to the farmers at the due time a servant, that from the farmers he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard,
3 Nihcae mah to kami to naeh o moe, boh o pacoengah, bangkrai ah patoeh o.
and they, having taken him, severely beat [him], and sent him away empty.
4 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.
And again he sent to them another servant, and having cast stones at that one, they wounded [him] in the head, and sent [him] away—dishonored.
5 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.
And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing.
6 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.
Having yet therefore one son—his beloved—he also sent him to them last, saying, They will respect my son;
7 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.
and those farmers said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and the inheritance will be ours;
8 Nihcae mah anih to naeh o moe, hum o pacoengah, misur takha tasa bangah vah o.
and having taken him, they killed, and cast [him] forth outside the vineyard.
9 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.
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Imsah kaminawk mah pahnawt o sut ih thlung loe im takii ih kacak koek thlung ah oh boeh:
And this Writing you did not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it became the head of a corner;
11 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.
this was from the LORD, and it is wonderful in our eyes.”
12 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.
And they were seeking to lay hold on Him, and they feared the multitude, for they knew that He spoke the allegory against them, and having left Him, they went away;
13 Anih mah thuih ih lok pongah zaehaih naeh thaih hanah, Farasinawk hoi thoemto Herod kaminawk Jesu khaeah patoeh o.
and they send to Him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may ensnare Him in discourse,
14 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?
and they having come, say to Him, “Teacher, we have known that You are true, and You are not caring for anyone, for You do not look to the face of men, but in truth teach the way of God; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? May we give, or may we not give?”
15 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.
And He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you tempt Me? Bring Me a denarius, that I may see”;
16 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.
and they brought, and He says to them, “Whose [is] this image, and the inscription?” And they said to Him, “Caesar’s”;
17 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.
and Jesus answering said to them, “Give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God”; and they wondered at Him.
18 Angthawk lethaih om ai, tiah kathui Sadusinawk anih khaeah angzoh o moe, anih to lokdueng o.
And the Sadducees come to Him, who say there is not a resurrection, and they questioned Him, saying,
19 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.
“Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if anyone’s brother may die, and may leave a wife, and may leave no children, that his brother may take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 Nawkamya sarihto oh o: nihcae thungah kacoeh koek loe zu lak, toe caa sah ai ah a zu to duek taak ving.
There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed;
21 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.
and the second took her, and died, not having left seed, and the third in like manner,
22 Nawkamya sarihto mah, nongpata to zu o haih boih: toe caa sah ai, hnukkhuem koek ah loe nongpata doeh duek toeng.
and the seven took her, and left no seed, last of all the woman also died;
23 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.
in the resurrection, then, whenever they may rise, of which of them will she be wife—for the seven had her as wife?”
24 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.
And Jesus answering said to them, “Do you not go astray because of this, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God?
25 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.
For when they may rise out of the dead, they neither marry nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers who are in the heavens.
26 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?
And concerning the dead, that they rise: have you not read in the Scroll of Moses (at the bush), how God spoke to him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
27 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.
He is not the God of dead men, but a God of living men; you then go greatly astray.”
28 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.
And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them disputing, knowing that He answered them well, questioned Him, “Which is the first command of all?”
29 Jesu mah anih khaeah, Aicae Angraeng Sithaw loe Angraeng maeto ah ni oh: Aw Isarael kaminawk, tahngai oh, kaalok boih thungah hmaloe koek loe,
And Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commands—Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD is one;
30 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.
and you will love the LORD your God out of all your heart, and out of all your soul, and out of all your understanding, and out of all your strength—this [is] the first command;
31 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.
and the second [is] like [it], this, You will love your neighbor as yourself—there is no other command greater than these.”
32 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.
And the scribe said to Him, “Well, Teacher, in truth You have spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He;
33 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.
and to love Him out of all the heart, and out of all the understanding, and out of all the soul, and out of all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as one’s self, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.”
34 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.
And Jesus, having seen him that he answered with understanding, said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God”; and no one dared question Him anymore.
35 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?
And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, “How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David?
36 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.
For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit on My right hand, Until I place Your enemies—Your footstool;
37 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.
therefore David himself calls Him Lord, and from where is He his son?” And the great multitude were hearing Him gladly,
38 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,
and He was saying to them in His teaching, “Beware of the scribes who will to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
39 Sineko ah anghnuthaih ahmuen kahoih koek to a koeh o moe, buh raenghaih poihkung ah kasang koek ahmuen ah anghnut han a koeh o:
and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches at the banquets,
40 nihcae mah lamhmainawk ih im to lomh pae o moe, angsak cophaih hoiah atue kasawkah lawk a thuih o, tiah a naa.
who are devouring the widows’ houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these will receive more abundant judgment.”
41 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.
And Jesus having sat down opposite the treasury, was beholding how the multitude puts brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much,
42 To naah lamhmai mithoe maeto angzoh moe, phoisa dip hnetto a pacaeng, to phoisa dip hnetto loe phoisa pia maeto ah oh.
and having come, a poor widow put in two mites, which are a penny.
43 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.
And having called near His disciples, He says to them, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those putting into the treasury;
44 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.
for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, put in all that she had—all her living.”
