1 அதை²கதா³ யீஸு² ர்மநித³ரே ஸுஸம்’வாத³ம்’ ப்ரசாரயந் லோகாநுபதி³ஸ²தி, ஏதர்ஹி ப்ரதா⁴நயாஜகா அத்⁴யாபகா: ப்ராஞ்சஸ்²ச தந்நிகடமாக³த்ய பப்ரச்சு²:
One day [during that week, Jesus] was teaching the people in the Temple [courtyard] and telling them [God’s] good message. As he was doing that, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and [other Jewish] elders came to him.
2 கயாஜ்ஞயா த்வம்’ கர்ம்மாண்யேதாநி கரோஷி? கோ வா த்வாமாஜ்ஞாபயத்? தத³ஸ்மாந் வத³|
They asked him, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like you did here yesterday]?”
3 ஸ ப்ரத்யுவாச, தர்ஹி யுஷ்மாநபி கதா²மேகாம்’ ப்ரு’ச்சா²மி தஸ்யோத்தரம்’ வத³த|
He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,
4 யோஹநோ மஜ்ஜநம் ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய மாநுஷாணாம்’ வாஜ்ஞாதோ ஜாதம்’?
where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God [MTY/EUP] or from people?”
5 ததஸ்தே மிதோ² விவிச்ய ஜக³து³: , யதீ³ஸ்²வரஸ்ய வதா³மஸ்தர்ஹி தம்’ குதோ ந ப்ரத்யைத ஸ இதி வக்ஷ்யதி|
They discussed this among themselves. They said, “[If we(inc) say], ‘[It was] from God [MTY/EUP],’ he will say to us, ‘[Then] (you should have believed John’s [message]!/why did you not believe what John preached?) [RHQ]’
6 யதி³ மநுஷ்யஸ்யேதி வதா³மஸ்தர்ஹி ஸர்வ்வே லோகா அஸ்மாந் பாஷாணை ர்ஹநிஷ்யந்தி யதோ யோஹந் ப⁴விஷ்யத்³வாதீ³தி ஸர்வ்வே த்³ரு’ட⁴ம்’ ஜாநந்தி|
But if we say, ‘It was [from] people,’ the people [here] will [kill us by] throwing stones at us, because they [all] believe that John was a prophet [from God].”
7 அதஏவ தே ப்ரத்யூசு: கஸ்யாஜ்ஞயா ஜாதம் இதி வக்தும்’ ந ஸ²க்நும: |
So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
8 ததா³ யீஸு²ரவத³த் தர்ஹி கயாஜ்ஞயா கர்ம்மாண்யேதாதி கரோமீதி ச யுஷ்மாந் ந வக்ஷ்யாமி|
Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
9 அத² லோகாநாம்’ ஸாக்ஷாத் ஸ இமாம்’ த்³ரு’ஷ்டாந்தகதா²ம்’ வக்துமாரேபே⁴, கஸ்²சித்³ த்³ராக்ஷாக்ஷேத்ரம்’ க்ரு’த்வா தத் க்ஷேத்ரம்’ க்ரு’ஷீவலாநாம்’ ஹஸ்தேஷு ஸமர்ப்ய ப³ஹுகாலார்த²ம்’ தூ³ரதே³ஸ²ம்’ ஜகா³ம|
Then Jesus told the people this parable [to illustrate what God would do to the Jews who rejected the former prophets and himself]: “A [certain] man planted a vineyard. He rented the vineyard to some men [to care for it and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went to another country and stayed there several years.
10 அத² ப²லகாலே ப²லாநி க்³ரஹீது க்ரு’ஷீவலாநாம்’ ஸமீபே தா³ஸம்’ ப்ராஹிணோத் கிந்து க்ரு’ஷீவலாஸ்தம்’ ப்ரஹ்ரு’த்ய ரிக்தஹஸ்தம்’ விஸஸர்ஜு: |
When [the vines started producing] grapes, he sent a servant to the men who were taking care of the vineyard. He expected that they would give him some of the grapes that the vineyard had produced. But [after the servant arrived], they beat him and they did not give him any grapes. They [just] sent him away.
11 தத: ஸோதி⁴பதி: புநரந்யம்’ தா³ஸம்’ ப்ரேஷயாமாஸ, தே தமபி ப்ரஹ்ரு’த்ய குவ்யவஹ்ரு’த்ய ரிக்தஹஸ்தம்’ விஸஸ்ரு’ஜு: |
[Later], [the owner] sent another servant. But they beat him and mistreated him [also]. They sent him away without giving him any grapes.
12 தத: ஸ த்ரு’தீயவாரம் அந்யம்’ ப்ராஹிணோத் தே தமபி க்ஷதாங்க³ம்’ க்ரு’த்வா ப³ஹி ர்நிசிக்ஷிபு: |
[Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
13 ததா³ க்ஷேத்ரபதி ர்விசாரயாமாஸ, மமேதா³நீம்’ கிம்’ கர்த்தவ்யம்’? மம ப்ரியே புத்ரே ப்ரஹிதே தே தமவஸ்²யம்’ த்³ரு’ஷ்ட்வா ஸமாத³ரிஷ்யந்தே|
So the owner of the vineyard thought to himself, ‘(I do not know what to do!/What shall I do?) [RHQ]’ [Then he had an idea. He thought to himself], ‘I will send my son, [whom I] love [very much]. Perhaps they will respect him [and give him my share of the grapes].’
14 கிந்து க்ரு’ஷீவலாஸ்தம்’ நிரீக்ஷ்ய பரஸ்பரம்’ விவிச்ய ப்ரோசு: , அயமுத்தராதி⁴காரீ ஆக³ச்ச²தைநம்’ ஹந்மஸ்ததோதி⁴காரோஸ்மாகம்’ ப⁴விஷ்யதி|
[So he sent his son], but when the men who were caring for the vineyard saw him [coming], they said to each other, ‘Here [comes] the man who will [some day] inherit [the vineyard]. Let’s kill him so that this vineyard will be ours!’
15 ததஸ்தே தம்’ க்ஷேத்ராத்³ ப³ஹி ர்நிபாத்ய ஜக்⁴நுஸ்தஸ்மாத் ஸ க்ஷேத்ரபதிஸ்தாந் ப்ரதி கிம்’ கரிஷ்யதி?
So they dragged him outside the vineyard and they killed him. So (I will tell you what the owner of the vineyard will do to them!/do you know what the owner of the vineyard will do to them?) [RHQ]
16 ஸ ஆக³த்ய தாந் க்ரு’ஷீவலாந் ஹத்வா பரேஷாம்’ ஹஸ்தேஷு தத்க்ஷேத்ரம்’ ஸமர்பயிஷ்யதி; இதி கதா²ம்’ ஸ்²ருத்வா தே (அ)வத³ந் ஏதாத்³ரு’ஸீ² க⁴டநா ந ப⁴வது|
He will come and kill those men who were taking care of the vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.” When the people listening to Jesus heard that, they said, “[We would] not do anything like those wicked men did!”
17 கிந்து யீஸு²ஸ்தாநவலோக்ய ஜகா³த³, தர்ஹி, ஸ்த²பதய: கரிஷ்யந்தி க்³ராவாணம்’ யந்து துச்ச²கம்’| ப்ரதா⁴நப்ரஸ்தர: கோணே ஸ ஏவ ஹி ப⁴விஷ்யதி| ஏதஸ்ய ஸா²ஸ்த்ரீயவசநஸ்ய கிம்’ தாத்பர்ய்யம்’?
But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “You can say that, [but think about] the meaning of these words that are written {which [a prophet] wrote} [RHQ] [in the Scriptures], The men who were building a house rejected a certain stone. But others put that same stone in its proper place, and it has become the most important stone in the building [MET].
18 அபரம்’ தத்பாஷாணோபரி ய: பதிஷ்யதி ஸ ப⁴ம்’க்ஷ்யதே கிந்து யஸ்யோபரி ஸ பாஷாண: பதிஷ்யதி ஸ தேந தூ⁴லிவச் சூர்ணீப⁴விஷ்யதி|
[That stone represents me, the Messiah], and those who reject me are [like people who fall on this stone]. Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces {This stone will break to pieces everyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
19 ஸோஸ்மாகம்’ விருத்³த⁴ம்’ த்³ரு’ஷ்டாந்தமிமம்’ கதி²தவாந் இதி ஜ்ஞாத்வா ப்ரதா⁴நயாஜகா அத்⁴யாபகாஸ்²ச ததை³வ தம்’ த⁴ர்தும்’ வவாஞ்சு²: கிந்து லோகேப்⁴யோ பி³ப்⁴யு: |
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws realized that he was accusing them when he told the parable [about what those wicked men did]. So they immediately tried to find a way to seize [MTY] him, but [they did not seize him, because] they were afraid of [what] the people [there would do if they did that].
20 அதஏவ தம்’ ப்ரதி ஸதர்கா: ஸந்த: கத²ம்’ தத்³வாக்யதோ³ஷம்’ த்⁴ரு’த்வா தம்’ தே³ஸா²தி⁴பஸ்ய ஸாது⁴வேஸ²தா⁴ரிணஸ்²சராந் தஸ்ய ஸமீபே ப்ரேஷயாமாஸு: |
So they watched him carefully. They also hired (spies/secret agents) who pretended to be sincere. [But] they really wanted to get him to say something for [which they could accuse] him. They wanted to be able to turn him over to the authority of the governor [of the province. But they also knew that the Jews were disgusted with having to pay taxes to the government].
21 ததா³ தே தம்’ பப்ரச்சு²: , ஹே உபதே³ஸ²க ப⁴வாந் யதா²ர்த²ம்’ கத²யந் உபதி³ஸ²தி, கமப்யநபேக்ஷ்ய ஸத்யத்வேநைஸ்²வரம்’ மார்க³முபதி³ஸ²தி, வயமேதஜ்ஜாநீம: |
[So] one of them asked Jesus, “Teacher, we [(exc)] know that you [(sg)] speak and teach what is right. You tell the truth even if important people do not like it. You teach truthfully what God wants us to do.
22 கைஸரராஜாய கரோஸ்மாபி⁴ ர்தே³யோ ந வா?
[So tell us what you think about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
23 ஸ தேஷாம்’ வஞ்சநம்’ ஜ்ஞாத்வாவத³த் குதோ மாம்’ பரீக்ஷத்⁴வே? மாம்’ முத்³ராமேகம்’ த³ர்ஸ²யத|
But Jesus knew that they were trying to trick him [to get him into trouble, either with the Jews, who hated to pay those taxes, or with the Roman government]. So he said to them,
24 இஹ லிகி²தா மூர்திரியம்’ நாம ச கஸ்ய? தே(அ)வத³ந் கைஸரஸ்ய|
“Show me a [Roman] coin. [Then tell me] whose picture is on it. And [tell me whose] name is on it.” They [showed him a coin and] said, “It has the picture and name of Caesar, [the head of the Roman government].”
25 ததா³ ஸ உவாச, தர்ஹி கைஸரஸ்ய த்³ரவ்யம்’ கைஸராய த³த்த; ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய து த்³ரவ்யமீஸ்²வராய த³த்த|
He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
26 தஸ்மால்லோகாநாம்’ ஸாக்ஷாத் தத்கதா²யா: கமபி தோ³ஷம்’ த⁴ர்துமப்ராப்ய தே தஸ்யோத்தராத்³ ஆஸ்²சர்ய்யம்’ மந்யமாநா மௌநிநஸ்தஸ்து²: |
While the people were there, the [spies] were unable to find fault with him for what he said. And they were amazed at his answer. So they said nothing.
27 அபரஞ்ச ஸ்²மஸா²நாது³த்தா²நாநங்கீ³காரிணாம்’ ஸிதூ³கிநாம்’ கியந்தோ ஜநா ஆக³த்ய தம்’ பப்ரச்சு²: ,
Some Sadducees came to [Jesus]. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.
28 ஹே உபதே³ஸ²க ஸா²ஸ்த்ரே மூஸா அஸ்மாந் ப்ரதீதி லிலேக² யஸ்ய ப்⁴ராதா பா⁴ர்ய்யாயாம்’ ஸத்யாம்’ நி: ஸந்தாநோ ம்ரியதே ஸ தஜ்ஜாயாம்’ விவஹ்ய தத்³வம்’ஸ²ம் உத்பாத³யிஷ்யதி|
They [wanted to] ask [Jesus] a question [in order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again]. One of them said [to Jesus], “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] about situations where a man who has a wife but no children. If the man dies, his brother should marry the [dead man’s] widow so that she can have a child by him. People [will consider] that the child is the descendant of the man [who died], [and in that way the dead man will have descendants].
29 ததா²ச கேசித் ஸப்த ப்⁴ராதர ஆஸந் தேஷாம்’ ஜ்யேஷ்டோ² ப்⁴ராதா விவஹ்ய நிரபத்ய: ப்ராணாந் ஜஹௌ|
Well, there were seven brothers in one family. The oldest one married, but he and his wife did not bear any children. Later he died.
30 அத² த்³விதீயஸ்தஸ்ய ஜாயாம்’ விவஹ்ய நிரபத்ய: ஸந் மமார| த்ரு’தீயஸ்²ச தாமேவ வ்யுவாஹ;
The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
31 இத்த²ம்’ ஸப்த ப்⁴ராதரஸ்தாமேவ விவஹ்ய நிரபத்யா: ஸந்தோ மம்ரு: |
Then the third [brother] married her, [but the same thing happened again]. All seven [brothers, one by one, married that woman], [but] they had no children, and [one by one] they died.
32 ஸே²ஷே ஸா ஸ்த்ரீ ச மமார|
Afterwards, the woman died, too.
33 அதஏவ ஸ்²மஸா²நாது³த்தா²நகாலே தேஷாம்’ ஸப்தஜநாநாம்’ கஸ்ய ஸா பா⁴ர்ய்யா ப⁴விஷ்யதி? யத: ஸா தேஷாம்’ ஸப்தாநாமேவ பா⁴ர்ய்யாஸீத்|
Therefore, [if it is true that there will be a time] when dead people will become alive again, whose wife [do you think that woman] will be [then]? ([Keep in mind that she was married to all seven brothers!/It will be impossible to decide because] she was married to all seven brothers!) [RHQ]”
Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives [by their parents] {their [parents] choose wives [for them]}. (aiōn g165)
35 கிந்து யே தஜ்ஜக³த்ப்ராப்தியோக்³யத்வேந க³ணிதாம்’ ப⁴விஷ்யந்தி ஸ்²மஸா²நாச்சோத்தா²ஸ்யந்தி தே ந விவஹந்தி வாக்³த³த்தாஸ்²ச ந ப⁴வந்தி, (aiōn g165)
But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
36 தே புந ர்ந ம்ரியந்தே கிந்து ஸ்²மஸா²நாது³த்தா²பிதா: ஸந்த ஈஸ்²வரஸ்ய ஸந்தாநா: ஸ்வர்கீ³யதூ³தாநாம்’ ஸத்³ரு’ஸா²ஸ்²ச ப⁴வந்தி|
[You need to know also that] they cannot die any more, because they will be [immortal] [SIM] like angels. [The fact that God has caused] them to be alive again [will show] that they are God’s children.
37 அதி⁴கந்து மூஸா: ஸ்தம்போ³பாக்²யாநே பரமேஸ்²வர ஈப்³ராஹீம ஈஸ்²வர இஸ்ஹாக ஈஸ்²வரோ யாகூப³ஸ்²சேஸ்²வர இத்யுக்த்வா ம்ரு’தாநாம்’ ஸ்²மஸா²நாத்³ உத்தா²நஸ்ய ப்ரமாணம்’ லிலேக²|
But [as for people] becoming alive again after they die, Moses wrote something about that. In the place where [he wrote about] the [burning] bush, he mentions the Lord as being the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].
38 அதஏவ ய ஈஸ்²வர: ஸ ம்ரு’தாநாம்’ ப்ரபு⁴ ர்ந கிந்து ஜீவதாமேவ ப்ரபு⁴: , தந்நிகடே ஸர்வ்வே ஜீவந்த: ஸந்தி|
It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we(inc) know their spirits were still alive]! All [people] whose [spirits] are alive [again after they die continue to live to honor God]!”
39 இதி ஸ்²ருத்வா கியந்தோத்⁴யாபகா ஊசு: , ஹே உபதே³ஸ²க ப⁴வாந் ப⁴த்³ரம்’ ப்ரத்யுக்தவாந்|
Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”
40 இத: பரம்’ தம்’ கிமபி ப்ரஷ்டம்’ தேஷாம்’ ப்ரக³ல்ப⁴தா நாபூ⁴த்|
After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
41 பஸ்²சாத் ஸ தாந் உவாச, ய: க்²ரீஷ்ட: ஸ தா³யூத³: ஸந்தாந ஏதாம்’ கதா²ம்’ லோகா: கத²ம்’ கத²யந்தி?
Then Jesus said to them, “I will show you (OR, prove to you) that people [are wrong who] say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David! [RHQ]
42 யத: மம ப்ரபு⁴மித³ம்’ வாக்யமவத³த் பரமேஸ்²வர: | தவ ஸ²த்ரூநஹம்’ யாவத் பாத³பீட²ம்’ கரோமி ந| தாவத் காலம்’ மதீ³யே த்வம்’ த³க்ஷபார்ஸ்²வ உபாவிஸ²|
Because David himself wrote [about the Messiah] in the book of Psalms, God said to my Lord, Sit [here beside me] on my right, [where I will highly honor you(sg)] [MTY].
43 இதி கதா²ம்’ தா³யூத்³ ஸ்வயம்’ கீ³தக்³ரந்தே²(அ)வத³த்|
[Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies.
44 அதஏவ யதி³ தா³யூத்³ தம்’ ப்ரபு⁴ம்’ வத³தி, தர்ஹி ஸ கத²ம்’ தஸ்ய ஸந்தாநோ ப⁴வதி?
King David calls [the Messiah] ‘[my] Lord’! So ([the Messiah] cannot be [just someone] descended from [King] David!/how can the Messiah be [just] someone descended from [King] David?) [RHQ] [What I just said proves that he is much greater than David, isn’t that right]?”
45 பஸ்²சாத்³ யீஸு²: ஸர்வ்வஜநாநாம்’ கர்ணகோ³சரே ஸி²ஷ்யாநுவாச,
While all the [other] people were listening, [Jesus] said to his disciples,
46 யே(அ)த்⁴யாபகா தீ³ர்க⁴பரிச்ச²த³ம்’ பரிதா⁴ய ப்⁴ரமந்தி, ஹட்டாபணயோ ர்நமஸ்காரே ப⁴ஜநகே³ஹஸ்ய ப்ரோச்சாஸநே போ⁴ஜநக்³ரு’ஹஸ்ய ப்ரதா⁴நஸ்தா²நே ச ப்ரீயந்தே
“Beware that [you do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They like to put on long robes and walk around [to make people think that they are very important]. [They] also like [people to] greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces. They like [to sit in] the most important places in the Jewish meeting places. At dinner parties [they like to sit in] the seats where the most honored people sit.
47 வித⁴வாநாம்’ ஸர்வ்வஸ்வம்’ க்³ரஸித்வா ச²லேந தீ³ர்க⁴காலம்’ ப்ரார்த²யந்தே ச தேஷு ஸாவதா⁴நா ப⁴வத, தேஷாமுக்³ரத³ண்டோ³ ப⁴விஷ்யதி|
They swindle [MET] the houses [and property] of widows. [Then] they pretend they are good, as they pray [long] prayers [publicly. God] will [certainly] punish them very severely.”
