Mark 12
1 Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a wine vat, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.
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.
2 At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
A tue vaengah lotawn taengkah misur thaih coi ham sal pakhat te lotawn rhoek taengla a tueih.
3 But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
Tedae anih te a tuuk uh phoeiah a boh uh tih a tlongtlai la a tueih uh.
4 Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.
Te phoeiah sal a tloe te amih taengla koep a tueih hatah anih te khaw a vuek uh tih yah a bai uh.
5 He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.
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.
6 Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
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.
7 But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
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.
8 So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
Anih te a tuuk uh tih a ngawn uh phoeiah misurdum lamkah loh vawl a voeih uh.
9 What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.
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.
10 Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
Cacim he na tae uh pawt nim? Im sa rhoek loh a hnawt lungto te imkil kah a lu la poeh.
11 This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
Hekah he Boeipa lamkah ha thoeng tih mamih mik ah aka khuet la om?” a ti nah.
12 At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.
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.
13 Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.
Te phoeiah olka neh tuengkhuep ham Jesuh taengla Pharisee rhoek neh Herod hlang rhoek kah hlangvang rhoek te a tueih uh.
14 “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”
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.
15 But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”
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.
16 So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
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.
17 Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.
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.
18 Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:
Te phoeiah Sadducee rhoek loh a taengla a paan uh. Te rhoek loh, “Thohkoepnah om mahpawh,” a ti uh.
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.
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.
20 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.
Boeinaphung parhih om uh tih lamhma te yuu a loh dae duek tih a tiingan khueh pawh.
21 Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.
A pabae long khaw anih a pang dae duek tih a tiingan caehtak bal pawh. A pathum long khaw amah boeiloeih la om.
22 In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.
A parhih long khaw a tiingan khueh pawh. A hnukkhueng ah huta te khaw duek.
23 In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
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.
24 Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
Jesuh loh amih taengah, “Cacim neh Pathen kah saithainah aka ming pawt loh n'rhaithi uh dongah moenih a he?
25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
Duek lamkah a thoh uh vaengah yuloh vasak om mahpawh, rhaihlan khaw om mahpawh, vaan puencawn rhoek bangla om uh coeng.
26 But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
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.
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
Pathen tah aka duek rhoek kah pawt tih aka hing rhoek kah ni. Bahoeng n'rhaithi uh coeng la he,” a ti nah.
28 Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”
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.
29 Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.
Jesuh loh, “Aw Israel hnatun lah, mamih kah Boeipa, Boeipa Pathen pakhat ni a om.
30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
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.
31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
A pabae ah na imben te namah bangla lungnah. He rhoi lakah aka tanglue olpaek a tloe om pawh,” a ti nah.
32 “Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,
Te dongah cadaek loh Jesuh te, “Thuem, saya, pakhat bueng om tih amah phoeiah a tloe om pawh tila oltak te na thui coeng.
33 and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself, which is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
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.
34 When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.
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.
35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
Jesuh loh bawkim ah a thuituen tih a doo vaengah, “Cadaek rhoek loh metlam, 'Khrih tah David capa ni,’ tila a thui?
36 Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
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.
37 David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.
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.
38 In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,
Te phoeiah amah kah thuituennah khuiah, “Hnikul neh pongpa tih hnoyoih hmuen ah toidalnah ham,
39 and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
tunim ah ngolhmuen then neh buhkung ah hmuensang aka ngaih cadaek rhoek te dawn uh.
40 They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
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.
41 As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.
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.
42 Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.
Te vaengah nuhmai khodeng pakhat ha pawk tih mucih panit a sang. Te tah pekhat lo ni.
43 Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.
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.
44 For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
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.
