Mark 12
1 yesu wu vu tsuro ba ni misali a tre wa ro wa indi ri a sen kukron ni rju a rhau kagon nda shi juju wa a ni ka ta shibi ima klo ma a me ko u gbien gugloma nda ban nno jingina ni bi ron bi kukron ki a kle nda ye wlu hi ziren
Then He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard—put a hedge around it, dug a wine trough, built a tower—rented it to farmers and went on a journey.
2 ni tsar mton u klo kukron ka ton igran ma ndu hi kpa iklo kukron bari wa ba tiea ni bi sen kukron a
At the proper time he sent a slave to the farmers, that he might receive from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 amma baka vu u nda tsie nda zu kamma hi ni wo kuklu
But they took him, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4 a la tru dran ma ri hi u ba ka ruu tu nda nnu shan
Again he sent another slave to them, and that one they wounded in the head by stoning, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 nga rli a tru ri u ba ka wu kimaa ba tie ri ndi gbugbu wu na ki ba tsi bari nda wu bari
Again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some.
6 a don indin ma ri u wa ani tona ivren ba wa anni san a tru wa wu ma hi u kle klea a tre ba to vren mu ni fu tu
Finally, still having his one beloved son, he even sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
7 ma me bi ron kukron ba bitre din a wa ti mba ni ri gadoa ye ki wu ndi ka rli gadoa
But those farmers said to one another: ‘This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and the inheritance will be ours.’
8 ba vu wu nda kau taga ni mi rjua
So they took him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 to waa u ndi u rju ni he? a ni ye nda wu bi ndu sen kukron ba nda nno bari nkan nu irjua
“What therefore will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those farmers, and give the vineyard to others.
10 bina kra kpie wa beblu tre a na? tita wa bi me ba ka mba ni wua a katie wa ba you ni vrun tra
Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘The stone that the builders rejected, is the very one that became the cornerstone;
11 i wa yi a hi tie u rji nda bi ya tawu
this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12 ikpie wa a ye ko gona bi ninkon yahudawa ba wa nkon wa ba ba vu yesu don ba to din a tre misalia ni tu mba yi amma ba klu sisri ikpe ndi mba ni tu ki ba ka donwume nda hi kpa mba
So they started looking for a way to arrest Him, because they knew He had spoken the parable against them, but they were in fear of the crowd. Then they left Him and went away.
13 ba son nda la ka tru bi ninkon yahudawa bari ni hirodiyawa hi wu don ndu mba trene ni tre
Then they sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to Him, in order to trap Him with a question.
14 da ba ye batre ni wu tica ki to wu na hu tre ndi na una tsuro son tu din na u tsuro jiji inkon rji han ban ni kaisar heitu nkon kanihe? ki han ka ni he?
Upon arriving they said to Him: “Teacher, we know that you are honest—you do not ‘protect’ anyone, because you do not consider the position of people, but teach the way of God in truth—is it right to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
15 amma u yesu to mliya nye ba nda tre di bi tsar me ni ngye? ne denarius ri me ndi ya to
Should we pay, or should we not?” But knowing their hypocrisy, He said to them: “Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius to look at.”
16 ba nji ri ye ni yesu a tre ndi a hi yu nha ba nde nha mba he yi? ba tre u kaisar
So they did, and He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar's.”
17 yesu tre din nno kaisar ikpie u kaisar din nno rji ikpie wa u rjia a nno ba mamaki
Then Jesus answered them by saying, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they marveled at Him.
18 me na a sadukiyawa wa ba tre ndi tashmen na heina ba ye ni wu ba mye nda tre din
Then some Sadducees came to Him—they say there is no resurrection—and asked Him, saying:
19 tica musa a nla tawu idan indi wa vayi ma qu nda da hama ni vren da kawa don inda ka ban wa vayi ma tie wa ma nda zi bi ni vayi maa
“Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies and leaves behind a wife, but no children, then his brother should take that wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
20 mri vayi bari tangban bana he u mumla a gra wa nda ye qu hamma ni vren
Well there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
21 u haa ka ban wa nda qu game hamma ni vren u traa ngame a la he na u mbru na ba
So the second one took her, and died; and neither did he leave any offspring. The third likewise.
22 tangban mba u ba na fe bi na iwaa me ye qu hu ba
In fact, all seven took her, and left no offspring. Last of all the woman also died.
23 ni shulu iwa a ni u rime ba tie tashme ngarli? hon mri vayi tangban ba ba gran a tie wa mba
In the resurrection, whenever they may rise, whose wife will she be?—because all seven had her as wife.”
24 yesu ka tre a na ni ki bi yiba shishi na? don bina tre rji na ndi na to gbengle rji na
Then in answer Jesus said to them: “You do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God—is this not the reason that you err?
25 don bata tashme ba na gran ko ba gran ba na ba he na malaiku
Whenever people rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in the heavens.
26 amma ni tu bi wa qu nda tashmela bi na kara ta ni taka da Musa na ni waa irji tre wu ni tsutsu miji naa tre din me hi rji u Ibrahim ni rji u Ishaku u ni rji u Yakubu?
But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, about 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 ana irji kmo na ammma u bi sisren
He is not the God of dead people, but the God of living ones. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
28 iri ni grji bi nha ye nda wo kpe wa ki trea ni to sa tre yesua a myee a hi doka ria me bran zaaan wawuu?
Then one of the scribes came on the scene, heard them arguing, realized that He had answered them well, and asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?”
29 yesu kaa sa wa a zan a hi wo Israila baci rji mbu bacia a riri
Jesus answered him: “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord your (pl) God, the Lord is one;
30 gbigbi u ka kpanyem ni baci rji ni suron me wawuu ni mre me wawuu ni dri me wawuu ni gble gble me wawuu
and you (sg) shall love the Lord your (sg) God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
31 doka u ha a heito yi gbigbu u ka son makobci me na tu me doka ri na la he waa bran zan bi yi na
And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
32 u bi nha ba tre din abi tica u tre njaji ndi irji a riri u ni wa wuyi a rji ni nklema
So the scribe said to Him: “Well said, teacher; you said truly that He is one, and there is no other except He.
33 nduu son wu ni suron me wawuu u ni to me wawuu mba ni gbengble me wawuu ndi son vayi u ndio na tu me a zan hadaya wa ba gon ni lua
And to love Him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the soul and with all the strength, and to love the neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34 da yesu to ndaa hla tre u bi a hla wu di wu na bran kon ni mulki rjiwamba a kle tre a itre na la mere tre na kpena
Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared ask Him any question.
35 yesu sita ru tra rji tre din ni he mba ni nha hla din kristi a hi vren Dauda?
Then, teaching in the temple, Jesus reacted by saying: “How is it that the scribes say that the Messiah is David's son?
36 Dauda tu na ni mi ruhu tsartsar tre din baci a tre ni baci mu ku son ni wo ru mu se me ka bi kran wu tie kpe wa wu chan ni za
Because David himself said by the Holy Spirit: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”’
37 Dauda tu ma ne you ndi baci u ni he rli kristi ka vren Daua? nkpentren ndi ba ba ngri ni wo tre ma
Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so how can He be his son?” The large crowd listened to Him with pleasure.
38 ni tsuro ma yesu tre tie wrli ni bi nha ba wa ba son zren ni guglo nklon da ni wa ci ni kasuwa
Then He said to them in His teaching: “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes and to get greetings in the market places,
39 nda son ni ruron u bi nikon ni tra rji ni wrji bi gan
and the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
40 ba mrien imba bi kobo nda bre rji bran nkon ndu duba to ba indi bi ki ba kpa lukunci rligrama
who devour the houses of widows, while praying long and loud for a show. These will receive a more severe judgment.”
41 yesu kuson ni gbala kori ni mi tra rji nda si ya ndi bubu ya nkle mba ni kaji gbugbu ndin bi nkle ba sur nkle babran
Then Jesus sat down opposite the offering chest and started watching how the people were depositing money into the chest. Many rich people put in large amounts.
42 uwa u kmbo a ye nda sur nini ha rli wa a tsar ni kuburi
A certain poor widow also came and put in two ‘lepta’, which equal a ‘quadrans’.
43 a yo mrli ko ma da hla ba wu njajimu me hla yiwu iwa u kmbo yi sur nkle zan ndi ba wawuv wa ba sur nkle ni kajia
So summoning His disciples He said to them: “I tell you assuredly that this poor widow has put more in the chest than all these contributors;
44 bi mu ba nno rji gbugbu wu ni mi gbubgu wu wa ba hei va ama iwa kobo yi a no zan du di biwo ba yo kl ni kajia duka idi ba sur kle gbugbu wu wa ba hei va ama iwakobo yo kpe wa a hei ni mi ya ma da ni rli a
because they all gave out of their excess, but she, out of her lack, put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.”
