< Mark 12 >

1 Na Jesus el kaskas nu selos ke kas in pupulyuk ac fahk, “Sie mwet el yukwiya sie ima in grape. El orala kalkal se rauneak, ac pukanak luf in itat wain se, ac musaela nien soan se. Na el sang ima se inge nu sin kutu mwet in karingin, na el som liki acn sel nu in sie pac facl.
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 Ac ke sun pacl in telani fokin grape uh, el supwala sie mwet kulansap nu yurin mwet karingin ima sac, tuh elan eis selos ip lal ke kosrani lun grape uh.
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 Ac mwet karingin ima sac elos sruokilya, srunglul, ac folokunulla pusin po.
and they, having taken him, severely beat [him], and sent him away empty.
4 Na mwet kacto sac el sifil supwala sie pac mwet kulansap; ac mwet liyaung nien grape uh elos kanteya sifal, ac oru ma na koluk nu sel.
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 Na el supwala pac sie mwet kulansap, ac elos unilya. Elos oru ouinge pac nu sin mwet puspis. Elos puok kutu ac uniya kutu.
And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing.
6 Ac mwet sefanna lula yorol, pa wen kulo se natul. Na tok, el supwala wen natul nu sin mwet liyaung nien grape uh. Ac el sifacna nunku in el, ‘Nga lulalfongi mu elos ac fah sunakin wen nutik.’
Having yet therefore one son—his beloved—he also sent him to them last, saying, They will respect my son;
7 Tusruktu mwet liyaung nien grape uh fahk nu sin sie sin sie, ‘Wen se nutin mwet kacto sac pa inge. Fahsru kut unilya, ac ima se inge fah ma lac lasr!’
and those farmers said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and the inheritance will be ours;
8 Ouinge elos sruokilya, unilya ac sisla manol liki nien grape uh.”
and having taken him, they killed, and cast [him] forth outside the vineyard.
9 Ac Jesus el siyuk, “Na mea mwet se la nien grape uh fah oru? El fah tuku ac onelosi, ac sang nien grape uh nu sin kutu pac mwet in liyaung.
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Ya kowos soenna rit Ma Simusla se inge? ‘Eot se ma mwet musa uh sisla, Pa yohk sripa oemeet uh.
And this Writing you did not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it became the head of a corner;
11 Leum pa oru ma inge uh; Fuka lupan usrngukiya in liye!”
this was from the LORD, and it is wonderful in our eyes.”
12 Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew inge srike in sruokilya Jesus ke sripen elos etu mu el fahk pupulyuk inge in lainulos. Tuh elos sangeng sin un mwet puspis, ouinge elos som lukel.
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 Kutu sin mwet Pharisee ac kutu mwet in u lal Herod supweyukla nu yurin Jesus in tuh srifal ke kutu mwe siyuk.
and they send to Him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may ensnare Him in discourse,
14 Ke elos tuku nu yorol elos fahk, “Mwet Luti, kut etu lah kom fahk ma pwaye ac tia suk lah mea mwet uh ac nunku kac. Kom tia kolak sin kutena mwet, a kom luti ma pwaye ke lungse lun God. Fahk nu sesr, ya ac lain Ma Sap lasr kut in akfalye tax nu sin Caesar, tokosra fulat in acn Rome?
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 Ya kut ac sang, ku tia?” Tuh Jesus el etu kutasrik lalos, na el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Efu kowos ku srike in srifeyu? Use sie ipin mani silver an nu sik ngan liye.”
And He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you tempt Me? Bring Me a denarius, that I may see”;
16 Ac elos use, na el fahk nu selos, “Mutun su kac inge, ac inen su inge?” Na elos topuk ac fahk, “Ma lun Caesar.”
and they brought, and He says to them, “Whose [is] this image, and the inscription?” And they said to Him, “Caesar’s”;
17 Ouinge Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Na fin pa ingan, sang nu sin Caesar ma lun Caesar, ac nu sin God ma lun God.” Ac elos arulana fwefela sel.
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 Na kutu mwet Sadducee su fahk mu wangin sifil moulyak liki misa, elos tuku nu yurin Jesus ac fahk,
And the Sadducees come to Him, who say there is not a resurrection, and they questioned Him, saying,
19 “Mwet Luti, Moses el simusla sie ma sap nu sesr fahk mu, ‘Sie mukul fin misa, ac wangin tulik natul nu sin mutan kial, na sie ma lel fah eis katinmas sacn kial ac eltal fah oswela tulik su ac fah pangpang ma nutin ma lel su misa.’
“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 Tuh oasr tamulel itkosr, ac el su matu el payuk nwe misa a wangin tulik natul.
There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed;
21 Na el se akluo el eis katinmas sac kial, ac el oayapa misa a wangin tulik natul. Sikyak ouinge pac nu sin el su aktolu,
and the second took her, and died, not having left seed, and the third in like manner,
22 oayapa tamulel wial ah nufon. Kewana marut nu sin katinmas sac, ac elos nukewa misa wangin tulik natulos. Na tok, katinmas sac oayapa misa.
and the seven took her, and left no seed, last of all the woman also died;
23 Ke len in sifil moulyak lun mwet nukewa, na katinmas sac ac fah ma kien su, ke tamulel itkosr ah kewa tuh payuk sel ah?”
in the resurrection, then, whenever they may rise, of which of them will she be wife—for the seven had her as wife?”
24 Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Kowos arulana tafongla! Ac kowos etu lah efu? Ma ke kowos tia etu ke Ma Simusla ku ke ku lun God.
And Jesus answering said to them, “Do you not go astray because of this, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God?
25 Tuh ke mwet misa uh ac sifil moulyak, elos ac oana lipufan inkusrao, ac elos ac tia payuk.
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 Ac funu ke moulyak lun mwet misa, ya kowos soenna rit in book lal Moses ke ma sikyak ke e se firir in kupo sac? Simla mu God El fahk nu sel Moses ouinge, ‘Nga God lal Abraham, God lal Isaac, ac God lal Jacob.’
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 Kalmeya pa El God lun mwet moul, ac El tia God lun mwet misa. Kowos arulana tafongla!”
He is not the God of dead men, but a God of living men; you then go greatly astray.”
28 Ac sie sin mwet luti Ma Sap el wi muta we, ac lohng ke elos asiyuki. El liye tuh arulana wo top lal Jesus nu sin mwet Sadducee, na el kalukyang nu yorol ke sie mwe siyuk ac fahk, “Pia ma sap su yohk oemeet ke Ma Sap uh?”
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 Jesus el topuk ac fahk, “Ma Sap se ma yohk emeet pa inge: ‘Lohng, O Israel. Leum God lasr, El God sefanna.
And Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commands—Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD is one;
30 Ac kom fah lungse Leum God lom ke insiom kewa, ac ke ngunum kewa, ac ke nunkom kewa, ac ke ku lom kewa.’
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 Ac ma sap se akluo pa inge: ‘Kom fah lungse mwet tulan lom oana ke kom lungse kom sifacna.’ Wangin sie pac ma sap yohk liki ma luo inge.”
and the second [is] like [it], this, You will love your neighbor as yourself—there is no other command greater than these.”
32 Na mwet luti sac fahk nu sin Jesus, “Pwaye sum, Mwet Luti! Kom fahk suwohs, Leum God El mukena pa God, ac wangin pac sie god saya.
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 Ac mwet se enenu in lungse God ke insial kewa, ke nunkal kewa, ac ke ku lal kewa; ac el enenu pac in lungse mwet tulan lal oana ke el lungse el sifacna. Wo in akos ma sap luo inge liki na in kisakin kosro fin loang uh, ku oru pac kutu mwe kisa saya nu sin God.”
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 Ac ke Jesus el liye tuh el topuk suwohs, el fahk nu sel, “Kom tiana loesla liki Tokosrai lun God.” Tukun ma inge, wangin mwet pulaik in sifil siyuk kutena ma sel.
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 Ke Jesus el luti in Tempul, el srukak kusen siyuk se inge: “Fuka tuh mwet luti Ma Sap elos fahk mu Christ el wen natul David?
And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, “How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David?
36 Ngun Mutal tuh akkaskasyal David, ac el fahk ouinge: ‘Leum God El tuh fahk nu sin Leum luk: Muta siskuk layot Nwe ke nga filiya mwet lokoalok lom ye niom.’
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 el sifacna pangnol ‘Leum’; na fuka tuh Christ elan wen natul David?” Oasr sie un mwet na pus su engan in lohng luti lal Jesus.
therefore David himself calls Him Lord, and from where is He his son?” And the great multitude were hearing Him gladly,
38 Ac ke el lotelos, el fahk, “Liyekowosyang liki mwet luti Ma Sap, su nokomang nuknuk loeloes ke elos fufahsryesr inmasrlon mwet uh, ac kena tuh mwet uh in akfulatyalos ac paingulos ke nien kuka;
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 su sulela nien muta fulat in iwen lolngok ac acn ma wo emeet ke pacl in kufwa.
and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches at the banquets,
40 Elos aklalfonye katinmas ac pisrala ma lalos, ac oayapa oru pre loeloes lalos mwe na lumah. Ke ma inge ac fah akyokyeyuk mwe kai nu selos in arulana upa!”
who are devouring the widows’ houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these will receive more abundant judgment.”
41 Ke Jesus el muta apkuran nu ke nien eisani mani in Tempul, el tuni ke mwet uh ac filiya mani lalos uh. Mwet kasrup puspis elos filiya mani na yohk.
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 Na sie katinmas su sukasrup el tuku ac filiya luo ipin mani srisrik, sununna cent srusra se.
and having come, a poor widow put in two mites, which are a penny.
43 Na Jesus el pangonma mwet tumal lutlut ac fahk nu selos, “Pwayena nga fahk nu suwos, mwe sang ma katinmas sukasrup se inge el filiya in nien mani uh arulana yohk liki mwe sang lun mwet ngia nukewa.
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 Tuh elos nukewa filiya ma elos srela liki ma puspis lalos, a el, el nwe sukasrup, el sang ma lal nukewa, aok nufon ma oasr yorol.”
for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, put in all that she had—all her living.”
