Marku 12
1 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.
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 A tue vaengah lotawn taengkah misur thaih coi ham sal pakhat te lotawn rhoek taengla a tueih.
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 Tedae anih te a tuuk uh phoeiah a boh uh tih a tlongtlai la a tueih uh.
and they, having taken him, severely beat [him], and sent him away empty.
4 Te phoeiah sal a tloe te amih taengla koep a tueih hatah anih te khaw a vuek uh tih yah a bai uh.
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 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.
And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing.
6 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.
Having yet therefore one son—his beloved—he also sent him to them last, saying, They will respect my son;
7 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.
and those farmers said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and the inheritance will be ours;
8 Anih te a tuuk uh tih a ngawn uh phoeiah misurdum lamkah loh vawl a voeih uh.
and having taken him, they killed, and cast [him] forth outside the vineyard.
9 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.
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Cacim he na tae uh pawt nim? Im sa rhoek loh a hnawt lungto te imkil kah a lu la poeh.
And this Writing you did not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it became the head of a corner;
11 Hekah he Boeipa lamkah ha thoeng tih mamih mik ah aka khuet la om?” a ti nah.
this was from the LORD, and it is wonderful in our eyes.”
12 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.
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 Te phoeiah olka neh tuengkhuep ham Jesuh taengla Pharisee rhoek neh Herod hlang rhoek kah hlangvang rhoek te a tueih uh.
and they send to Him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may ensnare Him in discourse,
14 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.
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 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.
And He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you tempt Me? Bring Me a denarius, that I may see”;
16 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.
and they brought, and He says to them, “Whose [is] this image, and the inscription?” And they said to Him, “Caesar’s”;
17 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.
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 Te phoeiah Sadducee rhoek loh a taengla a paan uh. Te rhoek loh, “Thohkoepnah om mahpawh,” a ti uh.
And the Sadducees come to Him, who say there is not a resurrection, and they questioned Him, saying,
19 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.
“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 Boeinaphung parhih om uh tih lamhma te yuu a loh dae duek tih a tiingan khueh pawh.
There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed;
21 A pabae long khaw anih a pang dae duek tih a tiingan caehtak bal pawh. A pathum long khaw amah boeiloeih la om.
and the second took her, and died, not having left seed, and the third in like manner,
22 A parhih long khaw a tiingan khueh pawh. A hnukkhueng ah huta te khaw duek.
and the seven took her, and left no seed, last of all the woman also died;
23 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.
in the resurrection, then, whenever they may rise, of which of them will she be wife—for the seven had her as wife?”
24 Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Cacim neh Pathen kah saithainah aka ming pawt loh n'rhaithi uh dongah moenih a he?
And Jesus answering said to them, “Do you not go astray because of this, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God?
25 Duek lamkah a thoh uh vaengah yuloh vasak om mahpawh, rhaihlan khaw om mahpawh, vaan puencawn rhoek bangla om uh coeng.
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 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.
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 Pathen tah aka duek rhoek kah pawt tih aka hing rhoek kah ni. Bahoeng n'rhaithi uh coeng la he,” a ti nah.
He is not the God of dead men, but a God of living men; you then go greatly astray.”
28 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.
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 Jesuh loh, “Aw Israel hnatun lah, mamih kah Boeipa, Boeipa Pathen pakhat ni a om.
And Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commands—Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD is one;
30 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.
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 A pabae ah na imben te namah bangla lungnah. He rhoi lakah aka tanglue olpaek a tloe om pawh,” a ti nah.
and the second [is] like [it], this, You will love your neighbor as yourself—there is no other command greater than these.”
32 Te dongah cadaek loh Jesuh te, “Thuem, saya, pakhat bueng om tih amah phoeiah a tloe om pawh tila oltak te na thui coeng.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Jesuh loh bawkim ah a thuituen tih a doo vaengah, “Cadaek rhoek loh metlam, ' Khrih tah David capa ni,’ tila a thui?
And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, “How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David?
36 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.
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 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.
therefore David himself calls Him Lord, and from where is He his son?” And the great multitude were hearing Him gladly,
38 Te phoeiah amah kah thuituennah khuiah, “Hnikul neh pongpa tih hnoyoih hmuen ah toidalnah ham,
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 tunim ah ngolhmuen then neh buhkung ah hmuensang aka ngaih cadaek rhoek te dawn uh.
and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches at the banquets,
40 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.
who are devouring the widows’ houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these will receive more abundant judgment.”
41 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.
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 Te vaengah nuhmai khodeng pakhat ha pawk tih mucih panit a sang. Te tah pekhat lo ni.
and having come, a poor widow put in two mites, which are a penny.
43 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.
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 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.
for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, put in all that she had—all her living.”
