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
Presently Jesus began to speak to them in parables. "There was once a man," he said, "who planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a pit for the wine-press, built a tower, rented it to tenants, and went abroad.
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 vintage-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers to collect some of the proceeds of the vineyard;
3 amma baka vu u nda tsie nda zu kamma hi ni wo kuklu
but they seized him, and flogged him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4 a la tru dran ma ri hi u ba ka ruu tu nda nnu shan
Then he sent another slave to them; and this man they knocked over the head and handled shamefully.
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
And 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
He had still one, a Son beloved, He sent him last to them, saying, "‘They will reverence 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 tenants said to themselves. ‘Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8 ba vu wu nda kau taga ni mi rjua
"So they took him and killed him, and threw his body 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 will the owner of the Vineyard do?" "He will come and put the tenants to death," they said, "and will 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 read this Scripture?" (he continued) "The very stone which the builders rejected Has now become the corner-stone;
11 i wa yi a hi tie u rji nda bi ya tawu
This is the Lord’s doing; 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
And they kept seeking to lay hold on him, but were afraid of the crowd, for they knew well that he had spoken this parable about them; so 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
But they sent some of the Pharisees to Jesus afterward, and some of the Herodians to entrap him in conversation.
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?
So when they came, they said. "Teacher, we know that you are sincere and are not afraid of any one, for you do not regard the face of men; nay, but you reach the way of God in truth. Is it right to pay poll- tax 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
Shall we pay, or not pay?" But he, knowing well their hypocrisy, said to them. "Why are you testing me? Bring me a dollar for me 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
And they brought it. "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" "Caesar’s," they answered.
17 yesu tre din nno kaisar ikpie u kaisar din nno rji ikpie wa u rjia a nno ba mamaki
And Jesus said, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God, the things that are God’s." They were amazed at him.
18 me na a sadukiyawa wa ba tre ndi tashmen na heina ba ye ni wu ba mye nda tre din
Then came up some Sadducees, men who say there is no resurrection. They too questioned 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 taught us that if a man’s brother die, and leave a wife behind him, but no child, that his brother is to marry the widow and to raise up a family for his brother.
20 mri vayi bari tangban bana he u mumla a gra wa nda ye qu hamma ni vren
There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, and died leaving no family.
21 u haa ka ban wa nda qu game hamma ni vren u traa ngame a la he na u mbru na ba
The second married her, and died without offspring; the third likewise;
22 tangban mba u ba na fe bi na iwaa me ye qu hu ba
and the seven had her, and died without issue.
23 ni shulu iwa a ni u rime ba tie tashme ngarli? hon mri vayi tangban ba ba gran a tie wa mba
And last of all the woman too died. In the resurrection whose wife shall she be? For the 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
"Is not this the reason for your error," Jesus answered them, "that you know not the Scripture nor the power of God?
25 don bata tashme ba na gran ko ba gran ba na ba he na malaiku
When they rise from the dead men do not marry, and women are not given in marriage, but they are as the angels are in heaven.
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 in regard to the rising again of the dead, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage 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
God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are in grave error."
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?
Just then up came one of the Scribes who had heard them arguing, and realized that Jesus had answered them admirably. "What commandment," he asked, "is the first of all?"
29 yesu kaa sa wa a zan a hi wo Israila baci rji mbu bacia a riri
Jesus replied. "The first is. "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord;
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 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 strength.
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
"The second is this, "Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. Other command greater than these there is none."
32 u bi nha ba tre din abi tica u tre njaji ndi irji a riri u ni wa wuyi a rji ni nklema
"Admirably said, O Teacher," exclaimed the Scribe. "You have truthfully said that He is one,
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 that beside him there is none other, and to love him with all one’s heart and with all one’s understanding and with all one’s might, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself is far beyond all 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
Jesus saw that he had answered with discrimination, and said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." After that no one ventured to question him.
35 yesu sita ru tra rji tre din ni he mba ni nha hla din kristi a hi vren Dauda?
While he was teaching in the Temple courts, Jesus in his turn asked. "How is it that the Scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
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
David himself said in the Holy Spirit, "The Lord said to my Lord,’Sit at my right hand until I make thy foes the footstool of thy 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
"David himself then calls him Lord; so how can he be his son?" Now the great mass of the people were wont to listen to him with delight;
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
and in his teaching he said. "Look out for the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes, and to receive salutations in the street, and to have prominent places in the synagogues,
39 nda son ni ruron u bi nikon ni tra rji ni wrji bi gan
and seats of honor at dinner-parties;
40 ba mrien imba bi kobo nda bre rji bran nkon ndu duba to ba indi bi ki ba kpa lukunci rligrama
they who consume the property of widows and make long, pretentious prayers. The greater shall their condemnation be."
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 took his seat opposite the treasury and watched the people putting their offerings into the chest. Many rich people were putting in large sums.
42 uwa u kmbo a ye nda sur nini ha rli wa a tsar ni kuburi
There came also a poor widow who dropped in two little coins, worth a cent.
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
On this he called his disciples to him, and said. "I tell you solemnly that this poor widow has put in more than all who have put their offerings into the treasury;
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
for they have all put in what they could spare out of their surplus, but she, out of her penury, has put in all that she possessed, her whole living."
