< Mark 12 >
1 Then Jesus began to speak to them using illustrated stories. “Once there was a man who planted a vineyard. He put a fence around it, dug a pit for a winepress, and built a watchtower. Then he leased it to some farmers, and left on a journey.
ཨནནྟརཾ ཡཱིཤུ རྡྲྀཥྚཱནྟེན ཏེབྷྱཿ ཀཐཡིཏུམཱརེབྷེ, ཀཤྩིདེཀོ དྲཱཀྵཱཀྵེཏྲཾ ཝིདྷཱཡ ཏཙྩཏུརྡིཀྵུ ཝཱརཎཱིཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཏནྨདྷྱེ དྲཱཀྵཱཔེཥཎཀུཎྜམ྄ ཨཁནཏ྄, ཏཐཱ ཏསྱ གཌམཔི ནིརྨྨིཏཝཱན྄ ཏཏསྟཏྐྵེཏྲཾ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལེཥུ སམརྤྱ དཱུརདེཤཾ ཛགཱམ།
2 When harvest-time came, he sent one of his servants to the tenant farmers to collect some of the grapes from the vineyard.
ཏདནནྟརཾ ཕལཀཱལེ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལེབྷྱོ དྲཱཀྵཱཀྵེཏྲཕལཱནི པྲཱཔྟུཾ ཏེཥཱཾ སཝིདྷེ བྷྲྀཏྱམ྄ ཨེཀཾ པྲཱཧིཎོཏ྄།
3 But they grabbed hold of him, beat him up, and sent him away with nothing.
ཀིནྟུ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱསྟཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ པྲཧྲྀཏྱ རིཀྟཧསྟཾ ཝིསསྲྀཛུཿ།
4 So the man sent another servant. They hit him over the head and abused him.
ཏཏཿ ས པུནརནྱམེཀཾ བྷྲྀཏྱཾ པྲཥཡཱམཱས, ཀིནྟུ ཏེ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱཿ པཱཥཱཎཱགྷཱཏཻསྟསྱ ཤིརོ བྷངྐྟྭཱ སཱཔམཱནཾ ཏཾ ཝྱསརྫན྄།
5 He sent another servant, and this one they killed. He sent many other servants, and they beat some of them and killed others.
ཏཏཿ པརཾ སོཔརཾ དཱསཾ པྲཱཧིཎོཏ྄ ཏདཱ ཏེ ཏཾ ཛགྷྣུཿ, ཨེཝམ྄ ཨནེཀེཥཱཾ ཀསྱཙིཏ྄ པྲཧཱརཿ ཀསྱཙིད྄ ཝདྷཤྩ ཏཻཿ ཀྲྀཏཿ།
6 In the end the only one left was his son whom he loved, and eventually he sent him, thinking ‘they will respect my son.’
ཏཏཿ པརཾ མཡཱ སྭཔུཏྲེ པྲཧིཏེ ཏེ ཏམཝཤྱཾ སམྨཾསྱནྟེ, ཨིཏྱུཀྟྭཱཝཤེཥེ ཏེཥཱཾ སནྣིདྷཽ ནིཛཔྲིཡམ྄ ཨདྭིཏཱིཡཾ པུཏྲཾ པྲེཥཡཱམཱས།
7 But the farmers said to themselves, ‘Here's the owner's heir—if we kill him, we can get what he would have inherited!’
ཀིནྟུ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱཿ པརསྤརཾ ཛགདུཿ, ཨེཥ ཨུཏྟརཱདྷིཀཱརཱི, ཨཱགཙྪཏ ཝཡམེནཾ ཧནྨསྟཐཱ ཀྲྀཏེ ྅དྷིཀཱརོཡམ྄ ཨསྨཱཀཾ བྷཝིཥྱཏི།
8 So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
ཏཏསྟཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ ཧཏྭཱ དྲཱཀྵཱཀྵེཏྲཱད྄ བཧིཿ པྲཱཀྵིཔན྄།
9 Now what is the owner of the vineyard going to do? He will come and kill those farmers, and then he will lease the vineyard to others.
ཨནེནཱསཽ དྲཱཀྵཱཀྵེཏྲཔཏིཿ ཀིཾ ཀརིཥྱཏི? ས ཨེཏྱ ཏཱན྄ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལཱན྄ སཾཧཏྱ ཏཏྐྵེཏྲམ྄ ཨནྱེཥུ ཀྲྀཥཱིཝལེཥུ སམརྤཡིཥྱཏི།
10 Haven't you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone rejected by the builders has become the chief cornerstone.
ཨཔརཉྩ, "སྠཔཏཡཿ ཀརིཥྱནྟི གྲཱཝཱཎཾ ཡནྟུ ཏུཙྪཀཾ། པྲཱདྷཱནཔྲསྟརཿ ཀོཎེ ས ཨེཝ སཾབྷཝིཥྱཏི།
11 This is from the Lord, and it's marvelous to see!’?”
ཨེཏཏ྄ ཀརྨྨ པརེཤསྱཱཾདྦྷུཏཾ ནོ དྲྀཥྚིཏོ བྷཝེཏ྄༎ " ཨིམཱཾ ཤཱསྟྲཱིཡཱཾ ལིཔིཾ ཡཱུཡཾ ཀིཾ ནཱཔཱཋིཥྚ?
12 The Jewish leaders tried to have him arrested because they realized that the illustration was directed at them, but they were afraid of the crowd. So they left him alone and went away.
ཏདཱནཱིཾ ས ཏཱནུདྡིཤྱ ཏཱཾ དྲྀཥྚཱནྟཀཐཱཾ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄, ཏ ཨིཏྠཾ བུདྭྭཱ ཏཾ དྷརྟྟཱམུདྱཏཱཿ, ཀིནྟུ ལོཀེབྷྱོ བིབྷྱུཿ, ཏདནནྟརཾ ཏེ ཏཾ ཝིཧཱཡ ཝཝྲཛུཿ།
13 Later they sent some Pharisees with some of Herod's supporters to Jesus in an attempt to catch him out by what he said.
ཨཔརཉྩ ཏེ ཏསྱ ཝཱཀྱདོཥཾ དྷརྟྟཱཾ ཀཏིཔཡཱན྄ ཕིརཱུཤིནོ ཧེརོདཱིཡཱཾཤྩ ལོཀཱན྄ ཏདནྟིཀཾ པྲེཥཡཱམཱསུཿ།
14 They arrived and said, “Teacher, we know you are a truthful person and you don't look for approval, because you don't care about status or position. Instead you teach God's way in accordance with the truth. So is it right to pay tribute to Caesar or not?
ཏ ཨཱགཏྱ ཏམཝདན྄, ཧེ གུརོ བྷཝཱན྄ ཏཐྱབྷཱཥཱི ཀསྱཱཔྱནུརོདྷཾ ན མནྱཏེ, པཀྵཔཱཏཉྩ ན ཀརོཏི, ཡཐཱརྠཏ ཨཱིཤྭརཱིཡཾ མཱརྒཾ དརྴཡཏི ཝཡམེཏཏ྄ པྲཛཱནཱིམཿ, ཀཻསརཱཡ ཀརོ དེཡོ ན ཝཱཾ? ཝཡཾ དཱསྱཱམོ ན ཝཱ?
15 Should we pay up, or should we refuse?” Jesus, realizing how hypocritical they were, asked them, “Why are you trying to catch me out? Bring me a coin to look at.”
ཀིནྟུ ས ཏེཥཱཾ ཀཔཊཾ ཛྙཱཏྭཱ ཛགཱད, ཀུཏོ མཱཾ པརཱིཀྵདྷྭེ? ཨེཀཾ མུདྲཱཔཱདཾ སམཱནཱིཡ མཱཾ དརྴཡཏ།
16 They gave him a coin. “Whose is this image, and whose inscription?” Jesus asked them. “Caesar's,” they replied.
ཏདཱ ཏཻརེཀསྨིན྄ མུདྲཱཔཱདེ སམཱནཱིཏེ ས ཏཱན྄ པཔྲཙྪ, ཨཏྲ ལིཁིཏཾ ནཱམ མཱུརྟྟི ཪྻཱ ཀསྱ? ཏེ པྲཏྱཱུཙུཿ, ཀཻསརསྱ།
17 “Then give back to Caesar what belongs to him, and give back to God what belongs to him,” Jesus told them. They were amazed at his reply.
ཏདཱ ཡཱིཤུརཝདཏ྄ ཏརྷི ཀཻསརསྱ དྲཝྱཱཎི ཀཻསརཱཡ དཏྟ, ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ དྲཝྱཱཎི ཏུ ཨཱིཤྭརཱཡ དཏྟ; ཏཏསྟེ ཝིསྨཡཾ མེནིརེ།
18 Then the Sadducees, who deny the resurrection, came and asked a question:
ཨཐ མྲྀཏཱནཱམུཏྠཱནཾ ཡེ ན མནྱནྟེ ཏེ སིདཱུཀིནོ ཡཱིཤོཿ སམཱིཔམཱགཏྱ ཏཾ པཔྲཙྪུཿ;
19 “Teacher, Moses instructed us that if a man dies, leaving his widow childless, then his brother should marry his wife, and have children by her on his behalf.
ཧེ གུརོ ཀཤྩིཛྫནོ ཡདི ནིཿསནྟཏིཿ སན྄ བྷཱཪྻྱཱཡཱཾ སཏྱཱཾ མྲིཡཏེ ཏརྷི ཏསྱ བྷྲཱཏཱ ཏསྱ བྷཱཪྻྱཱཾ གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ བྷྲཱཏུ ཪྻཾཤོཏྤཏྟིཾ ཀརིཥྱཏི, ཝྱཝསྠཱམིམཱཾ མཱུསཱ ཨསྨཱན྄ པྲཏི ཝྱལིཁཏ྄།
20 Once there were seven brothers. The first one got married, and then died without having children.
ཀིནྟུ ཀེཙིཏ྄ སཔྟ བྷྲཱཏར ཨཱསན྄, ཏཏསྟེཥཱཾ ཛྱེཥྛབྷྲཱཏཱ ཝིཝཧྱ ནིཿསནྟཏིཿ སན྄ ཨམྲིཡཏ།
21 The second married his widow, and then died, childless. The third did the same.

22 In fact all seven died without having children. In the end the woman died too.
ཨིཏྠཾ སཔྟཻཝ བྷྲཱཏརསྟཱཾ སྟྲིཡཾ གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ ནིཿསནྟཱནཱཿ སནྟོ྅མྲིཡནྟ, སཪྻྭཤེཥེ སཱཔི སྟྲཱི མྲིཡཏེ སྨ།
23 In the resurrection, whose wife will she be, because she was the wife of all seven brothers?”
ཨཐ མྲྀཏཱནཱམུཏྠཱནཀཱལེ ཡདཱ ཏ ཨུཏྠཱསྱནྟི ཏདཱ ཏེཥཱཾ ཀསྱ བྷཱཪྻྱཱ སཱ བྷཝིཥྱཏི? ཡཏསྟེ སཔྟཻཝ ཏཱཾ ཝྱཝཧན྄།
24 Jesus told them, “This proves you're mistaken, and that you don't know the Scriptures or the power of God.
ཏཏོ ཡཱིཤུཿ པྲཏྱུཝཱཙ ཤཱསྟྲམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརཤཀྟིཉྩ ཡཱུཡམཛྙཱཏྭཱ ཀིམབྷྲཱམྱཏ ན?
25 When the dead rise, they don't marry, and aren't given in marriage. They're like the angels in heaven.

26 But concerning the resurrection, haven't you read in Moses' writings the story of the burning bush, where God spoke to Moses and told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?’
པུནཤྩ "ཨཧམ྄ ཨིབྲཱཧཱིམ ཨཱིཤྭར ཨིསྷཱཀ ཨཱིཤྭརོ ཡཱཀཱུབཤྩེཤྭརཿ" ཡཱམིམཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ སྟམྦམདྷྱེ ཏིཥྛན྄ ཨཱིཤྭརོ མཱུསཱམཝཱདཱིཏ྄ མྲྀཏཱནཱམུཏྠཱནཱརྠེ སཱ ཀཐཱ མཱུསཱལིཁིཏེ པུསྟཀེ ཀིཾ ཡུཥྨཱབྷི རྣཱཔཱཋི?
27 He's not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are completely mistaken!”

28 One of the religious teachers came and heard them arguing. He recognized that Jesus had given them a good answer. So he asked him, “Which is the most important commandment of all?”
ཨེཏརྷི ཨེཀོདྷྱཱཔཀ ཨེཏྱ ཏེཥཱམིཏྠཾ ཝིཙཱརཾ ཤུཤྲཱཝ; ཡཱིཤུསྟེཥཱཾ ཝཱཀྱསྱ སདུཏྟརཾ དཏྟཝཱན྄ ཨིཏི བུདྭྭཱ ཏཾ པྲྀཥྚཝཱན྄ སཪྻྭཱསཱམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱནཱཾ ཀཱ ཤྲེཥྛཱ? ཏཏོ ཡཱིཤུཿ པྲཏྱུཝཱཙ,
29 Jesus replied, “The first commandment is, ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God is one.
"ཧེ ཨིསྲཱཡེལློཀཱ ཨཝདྷཏྟ, ཨསྨཱཀཾ པྲབྷུཿ པརམེཤྭར ཨེཀ ཨེཝ,
30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your spirit, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
ཡཱུཡཾ སཪྻྭནྟཿཀརཎཻཿ སཪྻྭཔྲཱཎཻཿ སཪྻྭཙིཏྟཻཿ སཪྻྭཤཀྟིབྷིཤྩ ཏསྨིན྄ པྲབྷཽ པརམེཤྭརེ པྲཱིཡདྷྭཾ," ཨིཏྱཱཛྙཱ ཤྲེཥྛཱ།
31 The second is ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There's no more important commandment than these.”
ཏཐཱ "སྭཔྲཏིཝཱསིནི སྭཝཏ྄ པྲེམ ཀུརུདྷྭཾ," ཨེཥཱ ཡཱ དྭིཏཱིཡཱཛྙཱ སཱ ཏཱདྲྀཤཱི; ཨེཏཱབྷྱཱཾ དྭཱབྷྱཱམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱབྷྱཱམ྄ ཨནྱཱ ཀཱཔྱཱཛྙཱ ཤྲེཥྛཱ ནཱསྟི།
32 “That's right, Teacher,” the man replied. “It's true as you said that God is one, and there is no other.
ཏདཱ སོདྷྱཱཔཀསྟམཝདཏ྄, ཧེ གུརོ སཏྱཾ བྷཝཱན྄ ཡཐཱརྠཾ པྲོཀྟཝཱན྄ ཡཏ ཨེཀསྨཱད྄ ཨཱིཤྭརཱད྄ ཨནྱོ དྭིཏཱིཡ ཨཱིཤྭརོ ནཱསྟི;
33 We are to love him with all our heart, all our understanding, and all our strength, and we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. This is far more important than offerings and sacrifices.”

34 Jesus saw that he gave a thoughtful answer, and said, “You're not far from the kingdom of God.” After this no one was brave enough to ask him any more questions.
ཏཏོ ཡཱིཤུཿ སུབུདྡྷེརིཝ ཏསྱེདམ྄ ཨུཏྟརཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཏཾ བྷཱཥིཏཝཱན྄ ཏྭམཱིཤྭརསྱ རཱཛྱཱནྣ དཱུརོསི། ཨིཏཿ པརཾ ཏེན སཧ ཀསྱཱཔི ཝཱཀྱསྱ ཝིཙཱརཾ ཀརྟྟཱཾ ཀསྱཱཔི པྲགལྦྷཏཱ ན ཛཱཏཱ།
35 While Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he asked, “Why do the religious teachers state that Christ is the son of David?
ཨནནྟརཾ མདྷྱེམནྡིརམ྄ ཨུཔདིཤན྄ ཡཱིཤུརིམཾ པྲཤྣཾ ཙཀཱར, ཨདྷྱཱཔཀཱ ཨབྷིཥིཀྟཾ (ཏཱརཀཾ) ཀུཏོ དཱཡཱུདཿ སནྟཱནཾ ཝདནྟི?
36 As David himself declared, inspired by the Holy Spirit, that the Lord said to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.’
སྭཡཾ དཱཡཱུད྄ པཝིཏྲསྱཱཏྨན ཨཱཝེཤེནེདཾ ཀཐཡཱམཱས། ཡཐཱ། "མམ པྲབྷུམིདཾ ཝཱཀྱཝདཏ྄ པརམེཤྭརཿ། ཏཝ ཤཏྲཱུནཧཾ ཡཱཝཏ྄ པཱདཔཱིཋཾ ཀརོམི ན། ཏཱཝཏ྄ ཀཱལཾ མདཱིཡེ ཏྭཾ དཀྵཔཱརྴྭ྄ ཨུཔཱཝིཤ། "
37 Since David himself calls him Lord, how can he be David's son?” The large crowd listened to what Jesus said with great delight.

38 Jesus continued to teach them, saying, “Beware of religious leaders! They love to walk around in long robes, to be greeted respectfully in the marketplaces.
ཏདཱནཱིཾ ས ཏཱནུཔདིཤྱ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཡེ ནརཱ དཱིརྒྷཔརིདྷེཡཱནི ཧཊྚེ ཝིཔནཽ ཙ
39 They love to have the most important seats in the synagogues, and the best places at banquets.

40 They cheat widows out of what they own, and cover up the kind of people they really are with long-winded prayers. They will receive severe condemnation in the judgment.”

41 Jesus sat down opposite the treasury collection box, watching people tossing in coins. Many of the rich were extravagantly throwing in a lot of money.

42 Then a poor widow came along and put in just two small coins.

43 He called his disciples together and told them, “I tell you the truth: this poor widow has put in more than all the rest together.

44 All of them gave from their wealth what they had, but she gave from her poverty what she didn't have. She put in all she had to live on.”
