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.
Then Jesus began to teach them in parables. He said, “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, and dug a pit for a winepress. He built a watchtower and then leased the vineyard to vine growers. Then he went away on a journey.
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.
At the right time, he sent a servant to the vine growers to receive from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 Ac mwet karingin ima sac elos sruokilya, srunglul, ac folokunulla pusin po.
But they took him, beat him, and sent him away with nothing.
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.
Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.
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.
He sent yet another, and this one they killed. They treated many others in the same way, beating some and killing others.
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.’
He had still one more person to send, a beloved son. He was the last one he sent to them. He said, '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!’
But the vine growers said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
8 Ouinge elos sruokilya, unilya ac sisla manol liki nien grape uh.”
They seized him, killed him, and threw him out of 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.
Therefore, what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine growers 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.
Have you not read this scripture? 'The stone which the builders rejected has been made the cornerstone.
11 Leum pa oru ma inge uh; Fuka lupan usrngukiya in liye!”
This was from the Lord, and it is marvelous 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.
They sought to arrest Jesus, but they feared the crowd, for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them. So they left him and 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.
Then they sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him to trap him with words.
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?
When they came, they said to him, “Teacher, we know that you care for no one's opinion, and you do not show partiality between people. You truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or not?”
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.”
But Jesus knew their hypocrisy and said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius so I can look at it.”
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.”
They brought one to Jesus. He said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “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.
Jesus said, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” They marveled at him.
18 Na kutu mwet Sadducee su fahk mu wangin sifil moulyak liki misa, elos tuku nu yurin Jesus ac fahk,
Then Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked 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 for us, 'If a man's brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, but no child, the man should take the brother's wife, and raise up a descendant for his brother.'
20 Tuh oasr tamulel itkosr, ac el su matu el payuk nwe misa a wangin tulik natul.
There were seven brothers; the first took a wife and then died, leaving no children.
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,
Then the second took her and died, leaving no children, and the third likewise.
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.
The seven left no children. 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, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For all seven brothers had her as their 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.
Jesus said, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, because you do not know the scriptures 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 rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like angels in heaven.
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.’
But concerning the dead that are raised, have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account about the bush, how God spoke to him and said, '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 the dead, but of the living. You are quite mistaken.”
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?”
One of the scribes came and heard their discussion; he saw that Jesus answered them well. He asked him, “What commandment is the most important 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.
Jesus answered, “The most important is, 'Hear, Israel, the Lord 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.’
You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'
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.”
The second commandment is this, 'You must love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other greater commandment 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.
The scribe said, “Good, Teacher! You have truly said that God is one, and that there is no other besides him.
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.”
To love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is even more than all burnt offerings and 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.
When Jesus saw that he had given a wise answer, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that, no one dared to ask Jesus any more questions.
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?
While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he said, “How is it that the scribes say the Christ is the 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.’
David himself, in the Holy Spirit, said, 'The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make 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.
David himself calls him 'Lord,' so how can the Christ be David's son?” The large crowd gladly listened to him.
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;
In his teaching Jesus said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes and they like the greetings they receive in the marketplaces
39 su sulela nien muta fulat in iwen lolngok ac acn ma wo emeet ke pacl in kufwa.
and they like to have the chief seats in the synagogues and chief places at feasts.
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!”
They also devour widows' houses, and they pray long prayers for people to see. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
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.
Then Jesus sat down across from an offering box in the temple area; he was watching people as they dropped their money into the box. Many rich people put in large amounts of money.
42 Na sie katinmas su sukasrup el tuku ac filiya luo ipin mani srisrik, sununna cent srusra se.
Then a poor widow came and put in two mites, worth about 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.
He called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them who contributed to the offering box.
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 of them gave out of their abundance. But this widow, out of her poverty, put in all of the money which she had to live on. “
