Marku 12
1 Te phoeiah amih taengah nuettahnah neh thui ham a tong tih, “Hlang pakhat loh misur a tue tih vongtung a tung, rhom a too, imsang a sak. Te phoeiah lotawn rhoek te a phaam sak tih vik yiin.
Then Jesus began to teach them in parables. He said, “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, and dug a pit for a winepress. He built a watchtower and then leased the vineyard to vine growers. Then he went away on a journey.
2 A tue vaengah lotawn taengkah misur thaih coi ham sal pakhat te lotawn rhoek taengla a tueih.
At the right time, he sent a servant to the vine growers to receive from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 Tedae anih te a tuuk uh phoeiah a boh uh tih a tlongtlai la a tueih uh.
But they took him, beat him, and sent him away with nothing.
4 Te phoeiah sal a tloe te amih taengla koep a tueih hatah anih te khaw a vuek uh tih yah a bai uh.
Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.
5 Te phoeiah a tloe te a tueih dae te khaw a ngawn uh tih a tloe rhoek muep a tueih te, a ngen a boh uh tih a ngawn uh.
He sent yet another, and this one they killed. They treated many others in the same way, beating some and killing others.
6 Capa thintlo pakhat a khueh pueng tih, “Ka capa te a yahnah uh ni,” a ti dongah a capa te amih taengla a hnukkhueng ah a tueih.
He had still one more person to send, a beloved son. He was the last one he sent to them. He said, 'They will respect my son.'
7 Tedae lotawn rhoek loh amamih te, “Anih tah rhopangkung ni. Halo anih he ngawn uh sih. Te daengah ni mamih kah rho la a om eh?,” a ti uh.
But the vine growers said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.'
8 Anih te a tuuk uh tih a ngawn uh phoeiah misurdum lamkah loh vawl a voeih uh.
They seized him, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9 Te koinih misurdum kungmah loh balae a saii eh? A paan vetih lotawn rhoek te a poci sak phoeiah misurdum te a tloe rhoek taengah a paek ni.
Therefore, what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine growers and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Cacim he na tae uh pawt nim? Im sa rhoek loh a hnawt lungto te imkil kah a lu la poeh.
Have you not read this scripture? 'The stone which the builders rejected has been made the cornerstone.
11 Hekah he Boeipa lamkah ha thoeng tih mamih mik ah aka khuet la om?” a ti nah.
This was from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes.'”
12 Nuettahnah a thui te amih ni tila a ming uh dongah amah tuuk ham a mae uh. Tedae hlangping te a rhih uh dongah anih te a toeng uh tih cet uh.
They sought to arrest Jesus, but they feared the crowd, for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them. So they left him and went away.
13 Te phoeiah olka neh tuengkhuep ham Jesuh taengla Pharisee rhoek neh Herod hlang rhoek kah hlangvang rhoek te a tueih uh.
Then they sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him to trap him with words.
14 A pha uh vaengah Jesuh te, “Boeipa, a thuem la na om tih hlang maelhmai te na sawt pawt dongah u taengah khaw na birhih pawh. Pathen kah oltak longpuei te ni na thuituen tila ka ming uh. Te dongah Kaisar taengah mangmu paek ham a ngaih a?, a ngaih moenih a? Pae sih a? Pae boel sih a?” a ti uh.
When they came, they said to him, “Teacher, we know that you care for no one's opinion, and you do not show partiality between people. You truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or not?”
15 Tedae amih kah thailatnah te a hmuh tih amih te, “Balae kai nan noemcai uh? Kai taengla denari hang khuen lamtah ka so lah eh,” a ti nah.
But Jesus knew their hypocrisy and said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius so I can look at it.”
16 Te dongah a khuen uh hatah amih taengah, “A muei neh a ming he u kah nim he?” a ti nah vaengah, “Kaisar kah,” a ti uh.
They brought one to Jesus. He said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “Caesar's.”
17 Jesuh long khaw amih te, “Kaisar kah te Kaisar taengah, Pathen kah te Pathen taengah thuung uh,” a ti nah tih a taengah a ngaihmang uh.
Jesus said, “Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” They marveled at him.
18 Te phoeiah Sadducee rhoek loh a taengla a paan uh. Te rhoek loh, “Thohkoepnah om mahpawh,” a ti uh.
Then Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
19 Te vaengah anih te a dawt uh tih, “Saya, Moses loh kaimih ham, “Khat khat kah a manuca tah duek tih a yuu te camoe khueh kolla a caehtak atah, a manuca patoeng loh a yuu te pang saeh lamtah a manuca kah a tiingan te thoh saeh tila a daek.
“Teacher, Moses wrote for us, 'If a man's brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, but no child, the man should take the brother's wife, and raise up a descendant for his brother.'
20 Boeinaphung parhih om uh tih lamhma te yuu a loh dae duek tih a tiingan khueh pawh.
There were seven brothers; the first took a wife and then died, leaving no children.
21 A pabae long khaw anih a pang dae duek tih a tiingan caehtak bal pawh. A pathum long khaw amah boeiloeih la om.
Then the second took her and died, leaving no children, and the third likewise.
22 A parhih long khaw a tiingan khueh pawh. A hnukkhueng ah huta te khaw duek.
The seven left no children. Last of all, the woman also died.
23 Anih te parhih loh a yuu la a khueh uh dongah thohkoepnah khuiah a thoh uh vaengah amih khuiah u yuu lamlae a om eh?” a ti uh.
In the resurrection, when they rise again, whose wife will she be? For all seven brothers had her as their wife.”
24 Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Cacim neh Pathen kah saithainah aka ming pawt loh n'rhaithi uh dongah moenih a he?
Jesus said, “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, because you do not know the scriptures nor the power of God?
25 Duek lamkah a thoh uh vaengah yuloh vasak om mahpawh, rhaihlan khaw om mahpawh, vaan puencawn rhoek bangla om uh coeng.
For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like angels in heaven.
26 Tedae aka duek rhoek a thoh uh te Moses cabu khuiah na tae uh pawt nim? Pathen loh tangpuem khuiah anih a voek vaengah, 'Kai tah Abraham kah Pathen, Isaak kah Pathen neh Jakob kah Pathen ni,’ a ti nah.
But concerning the dead that are raised, have you not read in the Book of Moses, in the account about the bush, how God spoke to him and said, 'I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob'?
27 Pathen tah aka duek rhoek kah pawt tih aka hing rhoek kah ni. Bahoeng n'rhaithi uh coeng la he,” a ti nah.
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are quite mistaken.”
28 Te vaengah amih a oelh uh thae te cadaek pakhat loh a yaak dongah a paan. Tedae amih a voek te thuem tila a hmuh. Te dongah Jesuh te, “Olpaek boeih khuiah melae tanglue la aka om,” tila a dawt.
One of the scribes came and heard their discussion; he saw that Jesus answered them well. He asked him, “What commandment is the most important of all?”
29 Jesuh loh, “Aw Israel hnatun lah, mamih kah Boeipa, Boeipa Pathen pakhat ni a om.
Jesus answered, “The most important is, 'Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
30 Te dongah na Boeipa Pathen te na thinko boeih, na hinglu boeih, na kopoek boeih, na thadueng boeih neh lungnah ' a ti te lamhma la om.
You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'
31 A pabae ah na imben te namah bangla lungnah. He rhoi lakah aka tanglue olpaek a tloe om pawh,” a ti nah.
The second commandment is this, 'You must love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other greater commandment than these.”
32 Te dongah cadaek loh Jesuh te, “Thuem, saya, pakhat bueng om tih amah phoeiah a tloe om pawh tila oltak te na thui coeng.
The scribe said, “Good, Teacher! You have truly said that God is one, and that there is no other besides him.
33 Pathen te thinko boeih neh, yakmingnah boeih neh, thadueng boeih neh, lungnah tih imben te amah bangla lungnah ham te hmaihlutnah neh hmueih boeih lakah olpuei la om,” a ti nah.
To love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is even more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
34 Anih loh cat a doo te Jesuh loh a hmuh vaengah anih te, “Pathen kah ram lamloh lakhla la na om ngawn pawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah tah Jesuh te dawt ham ngaingaih uh voel pawh.
When Jesus saw that he had given a wise answer, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that, no one dared to ask Jesus any more questions.
35 Jesuh loh bawkim ah a thuituen tih a doo vaengah, “Cadaek rhoek loh metlam, 'Khrih tah David capa ni,’ tila a thui?
While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he said, “How is it that the scribes say the Christ is the son of David?
36 David amah loh Mueihla Cim rhangneh, 'Boeipa loh ka Boeipa te 'Na rhal rhoek te na kho hmuiah ka khueh hlan atah kai kah bantang ah ngol dae ' a ti nah,’ a ti.
David himself, in the Holy Spirit, said, 'The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”'
37 Anih te David amah long pataeng Boeipa la a khue atah metlamlae a capa la a om eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah hlangping te yet loh liplip a hnatun.
David himself calls him 'Lord,' so how can the Christ be David's son?” The large crowd gladly listened to him.
38 Te phoeiah amah kah thuituennah khuiah, “Hnikul neh pongpa tih hnoyoih hmuen ah toidalnah ham,
In his teaching Jesus said, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes and they like the greetings they receive in the marketplaces
39 tunim ah ngolhmuen then neh buhkung ah hmuensang aka ngaih cadaek rhoek te dawn uh.
and they like to have the chief seats in the synagogues and chief places at feasts.
40 Te rhoek loh nuhmai rhoek kah im a yoop uh tih mueituengnah ham khing thangthuiuh. Amih tah laitloeknah a yook uh khungdaeng bitni,” a ti nah.
They also devour widows' houses, and they pray long prayers for people to see. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
41 Te phoeiah tangkabu hmaiah ngol tih hlangping loh tangkabu khuiah rhohum a sang vaengah a kumngai kuirhang rhoek loh muep a sang uh te a hmuh.
Then Jesus sat down across from an offering box in the temple area; he was watching people as they dropped their money into the box. Many rich people put in large amounts of money.
42 Te vaengah nuhmai khodeng pakhat ha pawk tih mucih panit a sang. Te tah pekhat lo ni.
Then a poor widow came and put in two mites, worth about a penny.
43 Te dongah a hnukbang rhoek te a khue tih, “Nangmih taengah rhep ka thui, tangkabu khuila aka sang rhoek boeih lakah hekah nuhmai khodaeng loh a sang ngai.
He called his disciples and said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them who contributed to the offering box.
44 Hlang boeih loh amamih taengkah a coih te a sang uh dae anih tah a vawtthoek khui lamkah a khuehtawn boeih a khosaknah boeih te bitbit a sang coeng,” a ti nah.
For all of them gave out of their abundance. But this widow, out of her poverty, put in all of the money which she had to live on. “
