1 ཨཐཻཀདཱ ཡཱིཤུ རྨནིདརེ སུསཾཝཱདཾ པྲཙཱརཡན྄ ལོཀཱནུཔདིཤཏི, ཨེཏརྷི པྲདྷཱནཡཱཛཀཱ ཨདྷྱཱཔཀཱཿ པྲཱཉྩཤྩ ཏནྣིཀཊམཱགཏྱ པཔྲཙྪུཿ
And it came to pass on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the good news, the chief priests and the scholars with the elders stood near.
2 ཀཡཱཛྙཡཱ ཏྭཾ ཀརྨྨཱཎྱེཏཱནི ཀརོཥི? ཀོ ཝཱ ཏྭཱམཱཛྙཱཔཡཏ྄? ཏདསྨཱན྄ ཝད།
And they spoke, saying to him, Tell us, by what authority are thou doing these things? Or who is he who gave thee this authority?
3 ས པྲཏྱུཝཱཙ, ཏརྷི ཡུཥྨཱནཔི ཀཐཱམེཀཱཾ པྲྀཙྪཱམི ཏསྱོཏྟརཾ ཝདཏ།
And having answered, he said to them, I also will ask you one word, and ye tell me.
4 ཡོཧནོ མཛྫནམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ མཱནུཥཱཎཱཾ ཝཱཛྙཱཏོ ཛཱཏཾ?
The immersion of John, was it from heaven or from men?
5 ཏཏསྟེ མིཐོ ཝིཝིཙྱ ཛགདུཿ, ཡདཱིཤྭརསྱ ཝདཱམསྟརྷི ཏཾ ཀུཏོ ན པྲཏྱཻཏ ས ཨིཏི ཝཀྵྱཏི།
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
6 ཡདི མནུཥྱསྱེཏི ཝདཱམསྟརྷི སཪྻྭེ ལོཀཱ ཨསྨཱན྄ པཱཥཱཎཻ རྷནིཥྱནྟི ཡཏོ ཡོཧན྄ བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདཱིཏི སཪྻྭེ དྲྀཌྷཾ ཛཱནནྟི།
But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are convinced John is a prophet.
7 ཨཏཨེཝ ཏེ པྲཏྱཱུཙུཿ ཀསྱཱཛྙཡཱ ཛཱཏམ྄ ཨིཏི ཝཀྟུཾ ན ཤཀྣུམཿ།
And they replied not to know from where.
8 ཏདཱ ཡཱིཤུརཝདཏ྄ ཏརྷི ཀཡཱཛྙཡཱ ཀརྨྨཱཎྱེཏཱཏི ཀརོམཱིཏི ཙ ཡུཥྨཱན྄ ན ཝཀྵྱཱམི།
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 ཨཐ ལོཀཱནཱཾ སཱཀྵཱཏ྄ ས ཨིམཱཾ དྲྀཥྚཱནྟཀཐཱཾ ཝཀྟུམཱརེབྷེ, ཀཤྩིད྄ དྲཱཀྵཱཀྵེཏྲཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཏཏ྄ ཀྵེཏྲཾ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱནཱཾ ཧསྟེཥུ སམརྤྱ བཧུཀཱལཱརྠཾ དཱུརདེཤཾ ཛགཱམ།
And he began to speak this parable to the people. A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to farmers, and went abroad for a considerable time.
10 ཨཐ ཕལཀཱལེ ཕལཱནི གྲཧཱིཏུ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱནཱཾ སམཱིཔེ དཱསཾ པྲཱཧིཎོཏ྄ ཀིནྟུ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱསྟཾ པྲཧྲྀཏྱ རིཀྟཧསྟཾ ཝིསསརྫུཿ།
And at the season he sent a bondman to the farmers, so that they would give him from the fruit of the vineyard. But having beaten him, the farmers sent him away empty.
11 ཏཏཿ སོདྷིཔཏིཿ པུནརནྱཾ དཱསཾ པྲེཥཡཱམཱས, ཏེ ཏམཔི པྲཧྲྀཏྱ ཀུཝྱཝཧྲྀཏྱ རིཀྟཧསྟཾ ཝིསསྲྀཛུཿ།
And he proceeded to send another bondman. And they, having beaten and shamefully treated, sent him also away empty.
12 ཏཏཿ ས ཏྲྀཏཱིཡཝཱརམ྄ ཨནྱཾ པྲཱཧིཎོཏ྄ ཏེ ཏམཔི ཀྵཏཱངྒཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ བཧི རྣིཙིཀྵིཔུཿ།
And he proceeded to send a third. And they also having wounded this man, cast him out.
13 ཏདཱ ཀྵེཏྲཔཏི ཪྻིཙཱརཡཱམཱས, མམེདཱནཱིཾ ཀིཾ ཀརྟྟཝྱཾ? མམ པྲིཡེ པུཏྲེ པྲཧིཏེ ཏེ ཏམཝཤྱཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ སམཱདརིཥྱནྟེ།
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will be made ashamed after seeing this man.
14 ཀིནྟུ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱསྟཾ ནིརཱིཀྵྱ པརསྤརཾ ཝིཝིཙྱ པྲོཙུཿ, ཨཡམུཏྟརཱདྷིཀཱརཱི ཨཱགཙྪཏཻནཾ ཧནྨསྟཏོདྷིཀཱརོསྨཱཀཾ བྷཝིཥྱཏི།
But when the farmers saw him, they deliberated among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, so that the inheritance may become ours.
15 ཏཏསྟེ ཏཾ ཀྵེཏྲཱད྄ བཧི རྣིཔཱཏྱ ཛགྷྣུསྟསྨཱཏ྄ ས ཀྵེཏྲཔཏིསྟཱན྄ པྲཏི ཀིཾ ཀརིཥྱཏི?
And having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 ས ཨཱགཏྱ ཏཱན྄ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱན྄ ཧཏྭཱ པརེཥཱཾ ཧསྟེཥུ ཏཏྐྵེཏྲཾ སམརྤཡིཥྱཏི; ཨིཏི ཀཐཱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཏེ ྅ཝདན྄ ཨེཏཱདྲྀཤཱི གྷཊནཱ ན བྷཝཏུ།
He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. And having heard it, they said, May it not happen!
17 ཀིནྟུ ཡཱིཤུསྟཱནཝལོཀྱ ཛགཱད, ཏརྷི, སྠཔཏཡཿ ཀརིཥྱནྟི གྲཱཝཱཎཾ ཡནྟུ ཏུཙྪཀཾ། པྲདྷཱནཔྲསྟརཿ ཀོཎེ ས ཨེཝ ཧི བྷཝིཥྱཏི། ཨེཏསྱ ཤཱསྟྲཱིཡཝཙནསྱ ཀིཾ ཏཱཏྤཪྻྱཾ?
But having looked upon them, he said, What then is this that is written, The stone that those who build rejected, this became the head of the corner?
18 ཨཔརཾ ཏཏྤཱཥཱཎོཔརི ཡཿ པཏིཥྱཏི ས བྷཾཀྵྱཏེ ཀིནྟུ ཡསྱོཔརི ས པཱཥཱཎཿ པཏིཥྱཏི ས ཏེན དྷཱུལིཝཙ྄ ཙཱུརྞཱིབྷཝིཥྱཏི།
Every man who falls on that stone will be broken, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust.
19 སོསྨཱཀཾ ཝིརུདྡྷཾ དྲྀཥྚཱནྟམིམཾ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཨིཏི ཛྙཱཏྭཱ པྲདྷཱནཡཱཛཀཱ ཨདྷྱཱཔཀཱཤྩ ཏདཻཝ ཏཾ དྷརྟུཾ ཝཝཱཉྪུཿ ཀིནྟུ ལོཀེབྷྱོ བིབྷྱུཿ།
And the chief priests and the scholars sought to throw hands on him in the same hour. And they were afraid, for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.
20 ཨཏཨེཝ ཏཾ པྲཏི སཏརྐཱཿ སནྟཿ ཀཐཾ ཏདྭཱཀྱདོཥཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ ཏཾ དེཤཱདྷིཔསྱ སཱདྷུཝེཤདྷཱརིཎཤྩརཱན྄ ཏསྱ སམཱིཔེ པྲེཥཡཱམཱསུཿ།
And having watched him, they sent forth insidious men pretending themselves to be righteous, so that they might take hold of his word, in order to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
21 ཏདཱ ཏེ ཏཾ པཔྲཙྪུཿ, ཧེ ཨུཔདེཤཀ བྷཝཱན྄ ཡཐཱརྠཾ ཀཐཡན྄ ཨུཔདིཤཏི, ཀམཔྱནཔེཀྵྱ སཏྱཏྭེནཻཤྭརཾ མཱརྒམུཔདིཤཏི, ཝཡམེཏཛྫཱནཱིམཿ།
And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou speak and teach rightly, and thou do not accept a personage, but teach the way of God in truth,
22 ཀཻསརརཱཛཱཡ ཀརོསྨཱབྷི རྡེཡོ ན ཝཱ?
Is it permitted for us to give tribute to Caesar or not?
23 ས ཏེཥཱཾ ཝཉྩནཾ ཛྙཱཏྭཱཝདཏ྄ ཀུཏོ མཱཾ པརཱིཀྵདྷྭེ? མཱཾ མུདྲཱམེཀཾ དརྴཡཏ།
But having perceived their craftiness, he said to them, Why do ye try me?
24 ཨིཧ ལིཁིཏཱ མཱུརྟིརིཡཾ ནཱམ ཙ ཀསྱ? ཏེ྅ཝདན྄ ཀཻསརསྱ།
Display to me a denarius. Whose image and inscription has it? And having answered, they said, Caesar's.
25 ཏདཱ ས ཨུཝཱཙ, ཏརྷི ཀཻསརསྱ དྲཝྱཾ ཀཻསརཱཡ དཏྟ; ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ ཏུ དྲཝྱམཱིཤྭརཱཡ དཏྟ།
And he said to them, Then render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.
26 ཏསྨཱལློཀཱནཱཾ སཱཀྵཱཏ྄ ཏཏྐཐཱཡཱཿ ཀམཔི དོཥཾ དྷརྟུམཔྲཱཔྱ ཏེ ཏསྱོཏྟརཱད྄ ཨཱཤྩཪྻྱཾ མནྱམཱནཱ མཽནིནསྟསྠུཿ།
And they were unable to lay hold of his word before the people. And having marveled at his answer, they were silent.
27 ཨཔརཉྩ ཤྨཤཱནཱདུཏྠཱནཱནངྒཱིཀཱརིཎཱཾ སིདཱུཀིནཱཾ ཀིཡནྟོ ཛནཱ ཨཱགཏྱ ཏཾ པཔྲཙྪུཿ,
And some of the Sadducees having approached, those who say there is no resurrection, they questioned him,
28 ཧེ ཨུཔདེཤཀ ཤཱསྟྲེ མཱུསཱ ཨསྨཱན྄ པྲཏཱིཏི ལིལེཁ ཡསྱ བྷྲཱཏཱ བྷཱཪྻྱཱཡཱཾ སཏྱཱཾ ནིཿསནྟཱནོ མྲིཡཏེ ས ཏཛྫཱཡཱཾ ཝིཝཧྱ ཏདྭཾཤམ྄ ཨུཏྤཱདཡིཥྱཏི།
saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, if any brother dies, having a wife, and this man dies childless, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 ཏཐཱཙ ཀེཙིཏ྄ སཔྟ བྷྲཱཏར ཨཱསན྄ ཏེཥཱཾ ཛྱེཥྛོ བྷྲཱཏཱ ཝིཝཧྱ ནིརཔཏྱཿ པྲཱཎཱན྄ ཛཧཽ།
There were therefore seven brothers. And the first having taken a wife, died childless.
30 ཨཐ དྭིཏཱིཡསྟསྱ ཛཱཡཱཾ ཝིཝཧྱ ནིརཔཏྱཿ སན྄ མམཱར། ཏྲྀཏཱིཡཤྩ ཏཱམེཝ ཝྱུཝཱཧ;
And the second took the woman, and this man died childless.
31 ཨིཏྠཾ སཔྟ བྷྲཱཏརསྟཱམེཝ ཝིཝཧྱ ནིརཔཏྱཱཿ སནྟོ མམྲུཿ།
And the third likewise took her, and likewise also the seven; they left behind no children, and died.
32 ཤེཥེ སཱ སྟྲཱི ཙ མམཱར།
And last of all the woman also died.
33 ཨཏཨེཝ ཤྨཤཱནཱདུཏྠཱནཀཱལེ ཏེཥཱཾ སཔྟཛནཱནཱཾ ཀསྱ སཱ བྷཱཪྻྱཱ བྷཝིཥྱཏི? ཡཏཿ སཱ ཏེཥཱཾ སཔྟཱནཱམེཝ བྷཱཪྻྱཱསཱིཏ྄།
In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them does she become? For the seven had her as wife.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, The sons of this age marry, and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 ཀིནྟུ ཡེ ཏཛྫགཏྤྲཱཔྟིཡོགྱཏྭེན གཎིཏཱཾ བྷཝིཥྱནྟི ཤྨཤཱནཱཙྩོཏྠཱསྱནྟི ཏེ ན ཝིཝཧནྟི ཝཱགྡཏྟཱཤྩ ན བྷཝནྟི, (aiōn g165)
but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 ཏེ པུན རྣ མྲིཡནྟེ ཀིནྟུ ཤྨཤཱནཱདུཏྠཱཔིཏཱཿ སནྟ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ སནྟཱནཱཿ སྭརྒཱིཡདཱུཏཱནཱཾ སདྲྀཤཱཤྩ བྷཝནྟི།
For neither can they die any more, for they are like the agents, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 ཨདྷིཀནྟུ མཱུསཱཿ སྟམྦོཔཱཁྱཱནེ པརམེཤྭར ཨཱིབྲཱཧཱིམ ཨཱིཤྭར ཨིསྷཱཀ ཨཱིཤྭརོ ཡཱཀཱུབཤྩེཤྭར ཨིཏྱུཀྟྭཱ མྲྀཏཱནཱཾ ཤྨཤཱནཱད྄ ཨུཏྠཱནསྱ པྲམཱཎཾ ལིལེཁ།
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the Bush when he calls the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 ཨཏཨེཝ ཡ ཨཱིཤྭརཿ ས མྲྀཏཱནཱཾ པྲབྷུ རྣ ཀིནྟུ ཛཱིཝཏཱམེཝ པྲབྷུཿ, ཏནྣིཀཊེ སཪྻྭེ ཛཱིཝནྟཿ སནྟི།
Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.
39 ཨིཏི ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཀིཡནྟོདྷྱཱཔཀཱ ཨཱུཙུཿ, ཧེ ཨུཔདེཤཀ བྷཝཱན྄ བྷདྲཾ པྲཏྱུཀྟཝཱན྄།
And some of the scholars having answered, they said, Teacher, thou said well.
40 ཨིཏཿ པརཾ ཏཾ ཀིམཔི པྲཥྚཾ ཏེཥཱཾ པྲགལྦྷཏཱ ནཱབྷཱུཏ྄།
For they no longer dared to question him anything.
41 པཤྩཱཏ྄ ས ཏཱན྄ ཨུཝཱཙ, ཡཿ ཁྲཱིཥྚཿ ས དཱཡཱུདཿ སནྟཱན ཨེཏཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ ལོཀཱཿ ཀཐཾ ཀཐཡནྟི?
And he said to them, How do they say the Christ is David's son?
42 ཡཏཿ མམ པྲབྷུམིདཾ ཝཱཀྱམཝདཏ྄ པརམེཤྭརཿ། ཏཝ ཤཏྲཱུནཧཾ ཡཱཝཏ྄ པཱདཔཱིཋཾ ཀརོམི ན། ཏཱཝཏ྄ ཀཱལཾ མདཱིཡེ ཏྭཾ དཀྵཔཱརྴྭ ཨུཔཱཝིཤ།
Even David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
43 ཨིཏི ཀཐཱཾ དཱཡཱུད྄ སྭཡཾ གཱིཏགྲནྠེ྅ཝདཏ྄།
until I will place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
44 ཨཏཨེཝ ཡདི དཱཡཱུད྄ ཏཾ པྲབྷུཾ ཝདཏི, ཏརྷི ས ཀཐཾ ཏསྱ སནྟཱནོ བྷཝཏི?
David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 པཤྩཱད྄ ཡཱིཤུཿ སཪྻྭཛནཱནཱཾ ཀརྞགོཙརེ ཤིཥྱཱནུཝཱཙ,
And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,
46 ཡེ྅དྷྱཱཔཀཱ དཱིརྒྷཔརིཙྪདཾ པརིདྷཱཡ བྷྲམནྟི, ཧཊྚཱཔཎཡོ རྣམསྐཱརེ བྷཛནགེཧསྱ པྲོཙྩཱསནེ བྷོཛནགྲྀཧསྱ པྲདྷཱནསྠཱནེ ཙ པྲཱིཡནྟེ
Beware of the scholars, who desire to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at the feasts,
47 ཝིདྷཝཱནཱཾ སཪྻྭསྭཾ གྲསིཏྭཱ ཚལེན དཱིརྒྷཀཱལཾ པྲཱརྠཡནྟེ ཙ ཏེཥུ སཱཝདྷཱནཱ བྷཝཏ, ཏེཥཱམུགྲདཎྜོ བྷཝིཥྱཏི།
who devour widows' houses, and in pretence make long prayers. These will receive greater damnation.
