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 figurative language. "There was once a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a pit for the wine-tank, and built a strong lodge. Then he let the place to vine-dressers 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 one of his servants to receive from the vine-dressers a share of the grapes.
3 amma baka vu u nda tsie nda zu kamma hi ni wo kuklu
But they seized him, beat him cruelly 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 to them another servant: and as for him, they wounded him in the head and treated him 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
Yet a third he sent, and him they killed. And he sent many besides, and them also they ill-treated, beating some and killing others.
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 left whom he could send, a dearly-loved son: him last of all he sent, saying, "'They will treat my son with respect.'
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 men--the vine-dressers--said to one another, "'Here is the heir: come, let us kill him, and then the property will one day be ours.'
8 ba vu wu nda kau taga ni mi rjua
"So they took him and killed him, and flung his body outside 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 put the vine-dressers 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 even this passage," He added, "'The stone which the builders rejected has become the Cornerstone:
11 i wa yi a hi tie u rji nda bi ya tawu
this Cornerstone came from the Lord, and is wonderful in our esteem?'"
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 looking out for an opportunity to seize Him, but were afraid of the people; for they saw that in this parable He had referred to 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
Their next step was to send to Him some of the Pharisees and of Herod's partisans 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 they came to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you are a truthful man and you do not fear any one; for you do not recognize human distinctions, but teach God's way truly. Is it allowable 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 shall we refuse to pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, replied, "Why try to ensnare me? Bring me a shilling 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
They brought one; and He asked them, "Whose is this likeness and this inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied.
17 yesu tre din nno kaisar ikpie u kaisar din nno rji ikpie wa u rjia a nno ba mamaki
"What is Caesar's," replied Jesus, "pay to Caesar--and what is God's, pay to God." And they wondered exceedingly 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 to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.
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
"Rabbi," they said, "Moses made it a law for us: 'If a man's brother should die and leave a wife, but no child, the man shall marry the widow and 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, but at his death left 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, leaving no family; and the third did the same.
22 tangban mba u ba na fe bi na iwaa me ye qu hu ba
And so did the rest of the seven, all dying childless. Finally 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
At the Resurrection whose wife will she be? For they all seven married her."
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 cause of your error," replied Jesus--"your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
25 don bata tashme ba na gran ko ba gran ba na ba he na malaiku
For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as 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 as to the dead, that they rise to life, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, 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, but of living men. 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?
Then one of the Scribes, who had heard them disputing and well knew that Jesus had given them an answer to the point, and a forcible one, came forward and asked Him, "Which is the chief of all the Commandments?"
29 yesu kaa sa wa a zan a hi wo Israila baci rji mbu bacia a riri
"The chief Commandment," replied Jesus, "is this: '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 thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind, and thy whole 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 shalt love thy fellow man as thou lovest thyself.' "Other Commandment 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
So the Scribe said to Him, "Rightly, in very truth, Rabbi, have you said that He stands alone, and there is none but 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 one's heart, with all one's understanding, and with all one's strength, and to love one's fellow man no less than oneself, is far better than all our 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
Perceiving that the Scribe had answered wisely Jesus said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one from that time forward ventured to put any question to Him.
35 yesu sita ru tra rji tre din ni he mba ni nha hla din kristi a hi vren Dauda?
But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a 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, taught by the Holy Spirit, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I have made thy foes a footstool under 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 calls Him 'Lord:' how then can He be his son?" And the mass of people found pleasure in listening to Jesus.
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
Moreover in the course of His teaching He said, "Be on your guard against the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes and to be bowed to in places of public resort,
39 nda son ni ruron u bi nikon ni tra rji ni wrji bi gan
and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues and 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
and who swallow up the property of widows and then mask their wickedness by making long prayers: these men will receive far heavier punishment."
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
Having taken a seat opposite the Treasury, He observed how the people were dropping money into the Treasury, and that many of the wealthy threw in large sums.
42 uwa u kmbo a ye nda sur nini ha rli wa a tsar ni kuburi
But there came one poor widow and dropped in two farthings, equal in value to a halfpenny.
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 He called His disciples to Him and said, "In solemn truth I tell you that this widow, poor as she is, has thrown in more than all the other contributors to 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 contributed out of what they could well spare, but she out of her need has thrown in all she possessed--all she had to live on."
