Marcum 12
1 Et coepit illis in parabolis loqui: Vineam pastinavit homo, et circumdedit sepem, et fodit lacum, et aedificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est.
And he began to discourse with them in similitudes. A certain man planted a vineyard, and inclosed it with a hedge, and dug in it a wine vat, and built a tower in it, and put it into the hands of husbandmen, and removed to a distance.
2 Et misit ad agricolas in tempore servum ut ab agricolis acciperet de fructu vineae.
And at the proper time, he sent his servant to the husbandmen, to receive of the fruits of the vineyard.
3 Qui apprehensum eum ceciderunt, et dimiserunt vacuum.
And they beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Et iterum misit ad illos alium servum: et illum in capite vulneraverunt, et contumeliis affecerunt.
And again he sent to them another servant; and him also they stoned, and wounded, and sent him away under indignities.
5 Et rursum alium misit, et illum occiderunt: et plures alios: quosdam caedentes, alios vero occidentes.
And again he sent another; and him they killed. And he sent many other servants, some of whom they beat, and some they killed.
6 Adhuc ergo unum habens filium charissimum: et illum misit ad eos novissimum, dicens: Quia reverebuntur filium meum.
At last, having an only and dear son, he sent him to them; for he said, Perhaps they will respect my son.
7 Coloni autem dixerunt ad invicem: Hic est heres: venite, occidamus eum: et nostra erit hereditas.
But those husbandmen said among themselves: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
8 Et apprehendentes eum, occiderunt: et eiecerunt extra vineam.
And they took him, and slew him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 Quid ergo faciet Dominus vineae? Veniet, et perdet colonos: et dabit vineam aliis.
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and transfer the vineyard to others.
10 Nec scripturam hanc legistis: Lapidem, quem reprobaverunt aedificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli:
And have ye not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, hath become the head of the corner:
11 A Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris?
From the Lord, was this; and it is wonderful in our eyes?
12 Et quaerebant eum tenere: et timuerunt turbam. cognoverunt enim quoniam ad eos parabolam hanc dixerit. Et relicto eo abierunt.
And they sought to apprehend him, but were afraid of the people; for they knew that he spoke this similitude against them. And they left him, and went away.
13 Et mittunt ad eum quosdam ex Pharisaeis, et Herodianis, ut eum caperent in verbo.
And they sent to him some of the Scribes and of the household of Herod, to ensnare him in discourse.
14 Qui venientes dicunt ei: Magister, scimus quia verax es, et non curas quemquam: nec enim vides in faciem hominum, sed in veritate viam Dei doces. licet dare tributum Caesari, an non dabimus?
And these came, and asked him: Teacher; we know that thou art veracious, and hast no fear of man; for thou regardest not the face of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give capitation money to Caesar; or not? Shall we give, or not give?
15 Qui sciens versutiam illorum, ait illos: Quid me tentatis? afferte mihi denarium ut videam.
And he knew their wile, and said to them: Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
16 At illi attulerunt ei. Et ait illis: Cuius est imago haec, et inscriptio? Dicunt ei: Caesaris.
And they brought one to him. And he said to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They said to him: Caesar's.
17 Respondens autem Iesus dixit illis: Reddite igitur quae sunt Caesaris, Caesari: et quae sunt Dei, Deo. Et mirabantur super eo.
Jesus said to them: What is Caesar's, give to Caesar; and what is God's, give to God. And they wondered at him.
18 Et venerunt ad eum Sadducaei, qui dicunt resurrectionem non esse: et interrogabant eum dicentes:
Then came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, and said:
19 Magister, Moyses nobis scripsit, ut si cuius frater mortuus fuerit, et dimiserit uxorem, et filios non reliquerit, accipiat frater eius uxorem ipsius, et resuscitet semen fratri suo.
Teacher; Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, and leave a widow, but leave no children, his brother shall take his widow, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 Septem ergo fratres erant: et primus accepit uxorem, et mortuus est non relicto semine.
There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died, and left no seed.
21 Et secundus accepit eam, et mortuus est: et nec iste reliquit semen. Et tertius similiter.
And the second took her, and died, and he also left no seed: and the third in like manner.
22 Et acceperunt eam similiter septem: et non reliquerunt semen. Novissima omnium defuncta est et mulier.
And the seven took her, and left no seed. Last of all, the woman also died.
23 In resurrectione ergo cum resurrexerint, cuius de his erit uxor? septem enim habuerunt eam uxorem.
In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife? For all the seven took her.
24 Et respondens Iesus, ait illis: Nonne ideo erratis, non scientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei?
Jesus said to them: Is it not on this account that ye err, because ye understand not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 Cum enim a mortuis resurrexerint, neque nubent, neque nubentur, sed erunt sicut angeli Dei in caelis.
For when they rise from the dead, they do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels that are in heaven.
26 De mortuis autem quod resurgant, non legistis in libro Moysi, super rubum quomodo dixerit illi Deus, inquiens: Ego sum Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Iacob?
But concerning the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in a book of Moses, how God said to him from the bush: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 Non est Deus mortuorum, sed vivorum. Vos ergo multum erratis.
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Ye, therefore, do err greatly.
28 Et accessit unus de Scribis, qui audierat illos conquirentes, et videns quoniam bene illis responderit, interrogavit eum quod esset primum omnium mandatum.
And one of the Scribes came, and heard them as they discussed, and he saw that he gave them an excellent answer; and he asked him, Which is the first of all the commandments?
29 Iesus autem respondit ei: Quia primum omnium mandatum est: Audi Israel, Dominus Deus tuus, Deus unus est:
Jesus said to him: The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord:
30 et diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex tota corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex tota mente tua, et ex tota virtute tua. Hoc est primum mandatum.
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 might. This is the first commandment.
31 Secundum autem simile est illi: Diliges proximum tuum tamquam teipsum. Maius horum aliud mandatum non est.
And the second, which is like it, is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
32 Et ait illi Scriba: Bene Magister, in veritate dixisti, quia unus est Deus, et non est alius praeter eum.
The Scribe said to him: Excellently! Rabbi; thou hast spoken the truth; for he is one God, and there is no other beside him.
33 Et ut diligatur ex toto corde, et ex toto intellectu, et ex tota anima, et ex tota fortitudine: et diligere proximum tamquam seipsum, maius est omnibus holocaustomatibus, et sacrificiis.
And for a man to love him, with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the might; and to love his neighbor, as himself; is better than all holocausts and sacrifices.
34 Iesus autem videns quod sapienter respondisset, dixit illi: Non es longe a regno Dei. Et nemo iam audebat eum interrogare.
And Jesus perceived that he replied wisely; and he answered, and said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared again to question him.
35 Et respondens Iesus dicebat, docens in templo: Quomodo dicunt Scribae Christum filium esse David?
And as Jesus was teaching in the temple, he answered and said: How can the Scribes say, that Messiah is the son of David?
36 Ipse enim David dicit in Spiritu sancto: Dixit Dominus Domino meo, Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.
For David himself saith, by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord; Seat thyself on my right hand, until I place thy enemies as a footstool beneath thy feet.
37 Ipse ergo David dicit eum Dominum, et unde est filius eius? Et multa turba eum libenter audivit.
David therefore calleth him " My Lord;" and how is he his son? And all the multitude heard him with pleasure.
38 Et dicebat eis in doctrina sua: Cavete a Scribis, qui volunt in stolis ambulare, et salutari in foro,
And he said to them in his teaching: Beware of the Scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and love the salutation in the streets,
39 et in primis cathedris sedere in synagogis, et primos discubitus in coenis:
and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the chief couches at feasts.
40 qui devorant domos viduarum sub obtentu prolixae orationis: hi accipient prolixius iudicium.
They devour the houses of widows, under pretence that they prolong their prayers. These shall receive a greater condemnation.
41 Et sedens Iesus contra gazophylacium, aspiciebat quomodo turba iactaret aes in gazophylacium, et multi divites iactabant multa.
And as Jesus sat over against the treasury-room, he saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. And many rich ones cast in much.
42 Cum venisset autem vidua una pauper, misit duo minuta, quod est quadrans,
And a poor widow came, and cast in two mites, which are a brass farthing.
43 et convocans discipulos suos, ait illis: Amen dico vobis, quoniam vidua haec pauper plus omnibus misit, qui miserunt in gazophylacium.
And Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: Verily I say to you, That this poor widow hath cast into the treasury more than all they that cast in.
44 Omnes enim ex eo, quod abundabat illis, miserunt: haec vero de penuria sua omnia quae habuit misit totum victum suum.
For they all cast in of that which abounded to them, but she, of her poverty, hath cast in all that she possessed, the whole of her property.
