Mark 12
1 And he began to speake vnto them in parables, A certaine man planted a vineyard, and copassed it with an hedge, and digged a pit for the winepresse, and built a tower in it, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange countrey.
Yesu ƒo nu na wo le lododowo me be, “Ame aɖe de waingble gã aɖe, eye wòɖo gli ƒo xlãe. Etu wainfiaƒe hã. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, etu gbetakpɔxɔ aɖe, afi si ame anɔ, adzɔ agble la ŋu ɣe sia ɣi. Azɔ etsɔ agble la de agbledzinɔla aɖewo ƒe asi me be woakpɔ edzi, ale wòdzo yi du didi aɖe me.
2 And at the time, he sent to the husbandmen a seruant, that he might receiue of the husbandmen of the fruite of the vineyard.
Le nuŋeɣi la, agbletɔ la dɔ eƒe subɔla ɖeka ɖa be wòaxɔ agblemenuku la ƒe akpa si nye ye tɔ gome la vɛ na ye,
3 But they tooke him, and beat him, and sent him away emptie.
gake agblea dzi nɔlawo ƒo ame dɔdɔ la, henyae ɖo ɖa asi ƒuƒlu.
4 And againe he sent vnto them another seruant, and at him they cast stones, and brake his head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
“Agbletɔ la gaɖo dɔla bubu ɖa, gake woƒo eya hã, de abi eƒe ta ŋu, hedo ŋukpee.
5 And againe he sent another, and him they slew, and many other, beating some, and killing some.
Ame si wògaɖo ɖa la, wowu eya gɔ̃. Tso esia dzi la, woƒo ame dɔdɔ siwo katã wòɖo ɖa la nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe, eye wowu ɖewo gɔ̃ hã. Wonɔ esia dzi ʋuu va se ɖe
6 Yet had he one sonne, his deare beloued: him also he sent the last vnto them, saying, They will reuerence my sonne.
esime wòsusɔ ame ɖeka pɛ ko, eyae nye via ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ si wòlɔ̃ vevie la. Mlɔeba la, eɖo eya hã ɖa, kple susu be woade bubu eŋu.
7 But ye husbandmen said among themselues, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and the inheritance shalbe ours.
“Gake esi agblea dzi kpɔlawo kpɔe wògbɔna ko la, wogblɔ be, Ame siae anyi agble sia ƒe dome le fofoa ƒe ku megbe. Mina míawui kaba, be agble gã sia nazu mía tɔ!”
8 So they tooke him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
Ale wolée hewui, eye wotsɔ eƒe kukua ƒu gbe ɖe agble la godo.
9 What shall then the Lord of the vineyard doe? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and giue the vineyard to others.
“Nu ka miebu be agbleatɔ awɔ ne ese nya sia? Ava kple dɔmedzoe, ava wu ame vɔ̃ɖi siawo katã, eye wòatsɔ agble la ade ame bubuwo ƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te.
10 Haue ye not read so much as this Scripture? The stone which the builders did refuse, is made the head of the corner.
Mieɖo ŋku edzi be miexlẽ le mawunya me kpɔ be, “‘Kpe si xɔtulawo gbe la, eyae va zua dzogoedzikpe oa?
11 This was done of the Lord, and it is marueilous in our eyes.
Aƒetɔ lae wɔ nu sia, eye wònye nukunu le mía ŋkume.’”
12 Then they went about to take him, but they feared the people: for they perceiued that he spake that parable against them: therefore they left him, and went their way.
Yudatɔwo ƒe kplɔlawo nɔ didim vevie be yewoalée le afi ma kokoko, elabena wonya be yewo ŋue wòdo lo sia ɖo. Ke womete ŋui enumake o, elabena wovɔ̃ na ameha la. Ale wodzo le egbɔ.
13 And they sent vnto him certaine of the Pharises, and of ye Herodians that they might take him in his talke.
Emegbe la, wodɔ Farisitɔwo kple Herod dunyahela aɖewo be woalée le eƒe nuƒo me.
14 And when they came, they saide vnto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou considerest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God truely, Is it lawfull to giue tribute to Cesar, or not?
Ameawo va gblɔ na Yesu amenubletɔe be, “Nufiala, míenya be ègblɔa nyateƒe la vɔvɔ̃manɔmee! Amewo ƒe susuwo kple didiwo meblea nuwò o, ke boŋ èfiaa Mawu ƒe mɔwo amewo le nyateƒe me. Azɔ gblɔ nu si nèbu la na mí.” Enyo be woadzɔ ga na Kaisaro loo alo menyo o?
15 Should we giue it, or should we not giue it? but he knew their hypocrisie, and said vnto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a peny, that I may see it.
Ɖe míadzɔe loo alo ɖe míadzɔe oa? Ke Yesu dze si woƒe alakpanuwɔwɔ, eye wòbia wo be, “Nu ka ta miele teyem kpɔ? Mitsɔ ga si Romatɔwo ɖuna la ƒe ɖeka nam makpɔ.”
16 So they brought it, and he said vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription? and they said vnto him, Cesars.
Tete wotsɔ ga la nɛ eye wòbia wo be, “Ame ka ƒe nɔnɔmetata kple nuŋɔŋlɔe le edzi?” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Kaisaro tɔe.”
17 Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Giue to Cesar the things that are Cesars, and to God, those that are Gods: and they marueiled at him.
Yesu yi edzi be, “Nu si nye Kaisaro tɔ la, mitsɔe na Kaisaro. Nu si nye Mawu tɔ la, mitsɔe na Mawu!” Nyaŋuɖoɖo sia na ameawo tɔtɔ, eye womeganya nya si woagblɔ o.
18 Then came the Sadduces vnto him, (which say, there is no resurrection) and they asked him, saying,
Eteƒe medidi o la, Zadukitɔwo hã va do. Ame siawo nye habɔbɔ aɖe, siwo mexɔ ame kukuwo ƒe tsitretsitsi dzi se o. Wobia Yesu be,
19 Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die, and leaue his wife, and leaue no children, that his brother should take his wife, and rayse vp seede vnto his brother.
“Nufiala, ele Mose ƒe sewo me be ne ŋutsu aɖe ku vimadzimadzii la, nɔvia ŋutsu naɖe eƒe ahosi la, adzi viwo ɖe foa si ku la ƒe ŋkɔ me.
20 There were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and when he died, left no issue.
Azɔ nɔviŋutsu adre aɖewo nɔ anyi. Tsitsitɔ ɖe srɔ̃, eye wòku vimadzii.
21 Then the seconde tooke her, and he died, neither did he yet leaue issue, and the third likewise:
Ale ame si dzɔ ɖe ameyinugbe la yome la ɖe ahosi la. Eya hã ku vimadzii. Nɔvia si kplɔe ɖo la ɖe ahosi la, gake eya hã medzi vi aɖeke kplii hafi ku o.
22 So those seuen had her, and left no yssue: last of all the wife died also.
Ale nɔviŋutsu adreawo ku vi aɖeke madzimadzi, eye nyɔnu la hã va ku.
23 In the resurrection then, when they shall rise againe, whose wife shall she be of them? for seuen had her to wife.
Fifia la, nu si míedi be míanya lae nye be, le tsitretsitsiŋkeke la dzi ɖe, wo dometɔ kae anye nyɔnu sia srɔ̃a, elabena wo ame adrea katã ɖee kpɔ.”
24 Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Are ye not therefore deceiued, because ye knowe not the Scriptures, neither the power of God?
Yesu ɖo eŋu na wo be, “Nu si le fu ɖem na mi lae nye be mienya mawunya alo Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ o,
25 For when they shall rise againe from the dead, neither men marry, nor wiues are married, but are as the Angels which are in heauen.
elabena ne ame kukuwo fɔ ɖe tsitre la, womagaɖe srɔ̃ o, srɔ̃ɖeɖe maganɔ anyi o. Woanɔ ko abe mawudɔla siwo le dziƒo ene.
26 And as touching the dead, that they shall rise againe, haue ye not read in the booke of Moses, howe in the bush God spake vnto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob?
Ne mieƒo nu tso ame kukuwo ƒe tsitretsitsi ŋuti la, miɖo ŋku nu si miexlẽ le Mose ƒe Agbalẽ me tso ale si Mose kpɔ ŋuve bibi la dzi. Mawu gblɔ na Mose le afi ma be, ‘Nyee nye Abraham ƒe Mawu, Isak ƒe Mawu kple Yakob ƒe Mawu.’
27 God is not ye God of the dead, but the God of the liuing. Ye are therefore greatly deceiued.
Menye ame kukuwo ƒe Mawu wònye o, ke boŋ ame gbagbewo ƒe Mawue! Miewɔ vodada gã ŋutɔ.”
28 Then came one of the Scribes that had heard them disputing together, and perceiuing that he had answered them well, he asked him, Which is the first commandement of all?
Agbalẽfialawo dometɔ ɖeka si nɔ tsitre ɖe afi ma, nɔ to ɖom nya si ʋlim wonɔ la do dzesii be, Yesu ɖo nya la ŋu nyuie, eya ta ebiae be, “Se kae nye vevitɔ wu le seawo katã dome?”
29 Iesus answered him, The first of all the commandements is, Heare, Israel, The Lord our God is the onely Lord.
Yesu ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Se siae nye esi gblɔ be, ‘Israel see! Aƒetɔ mía Mawu la, Aƒetɔ ɖeka hɔ̃ɔ ko wònye.
30 Thou shalt therefore loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy minde, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandement.
Eya ta lɔ̃ Aƒetɔ, wò Mawu la kple wò dzi blibo, wò luʋɔ blibo kple wò tamesusu blibo kpakple wò ŋusẽ katã.’
31 And the second is like, that is, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. There is none other commandement greater then these.
Se eveliae nye, ‘Lɔ̃ hawòvi abe ale si nèlɔ̃a ɖokuiwòe ene.’ Le nyateƒe me la, Se bubu aɖeke megali si le vevie wu esiawo o.”
32 Then that Scribe said vnto him, Well, Master, thou hast saide the trueth, that there is one God, and that there is none but he,
Agbalẽfiala la gblɔ nɛ be, “Aƒetɔ, èto nyateƒe esi nègblɔ be Mawu ɖeka koe li, bubu aɖeke megali o,
33 And to loue him with all the heart, and with all the vnderstanding, and with all the soule, and with all the strength, and to loue his neighbour as himselfe, is more then all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
eye ele vevie be ame nalɔ̃ eya ɖeka kple eƒe dzi, gɔmesese kple ŋusẽ katã. Ele be woalɔ̃ amehavi wu be woasa vɔwo, numevɔwo kple vɔsa bubuwo.”
34 Then when Iesus saw that he answered discreetely, he saide vnto him, Thou art not farre from the kingdome of God. And no man after that durst aske him any question.
Esi Yesu kpɔ be eɖo nya la ŋu nunyatɔe la, egblɔ nɛ be, “Wò la, mèle adzɔge tso mawufiaɖuƒe la gbɔ o.” Le esia megbe la, ame aɖeke megate ŋu bia nya aɖekee o.
35 And Iesus answered and said teaching in the Temple, Howe say the Scribes that Christ is the sonne of Dauid?
Emegbe la, esi Yesu nɔ nu fiam le gbedoxɔ me la, ebia ameawo be, “Nu ka ta miaƒe agbalẽfialawo gblɔna be Kristo la nye Fia David ƒe vi ɖo?
36 For Dauid himselfe said by ye holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
Elabena David ŋutɔ gblɔ le Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ƒe ŋusẽ me be, “‘Aƒetɔ la gblɔ na nye Aƒetɔ be, “Nɔ anyi ɖe nye ɖusime va se ɖe esime matsɔ wò ketɔwo ade wò afɔ te.”’
37 Then Dauid himselfe calleth him Lord: by what meanes is he then his sonne? and much people heard him gladly.
Esi David ŋutɔ yɔe be ‘Aƒetɔ’ ɖe, aleke wòaganye via?” Nyameɖeɖe sia do dzidzɔ na eselawo ŋutɔ, ale wogbugbɔ ke to ɖe Yesu ƒe nufifia ŋu henɔ to ɖom kple dzidzɔ.
38 Moreouer he saide vnto them in his doctrine, Beware of the Scribes which loue to goe in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets,
Yesu yi edzi gblɔ na ameawo be, “Mikpɔ nyuie le sefialawo ŋuti, elabena wolɔ̃a awu ʋlayawo dodo, eye wodina be amewo nado gbe na yewo ne yewole zɔzɔm le ablɔwo dzi.
39 And the chiefe seates in the Synagogues, and the first roumes at feastes,
Ame siawo lɔ̃a teƒe kɔkɔwo nɔnɔ le ƒuƒoƒewo, eye wodia kplɔ̃tanɔnɔ vevie le nuɖukplɔ̃ɖoƒewo.
40 Which deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers. These shall receiue the greater damnation.
Woxɔa ahosiwo ƒe aƒewo le wo si, eye wodoa kpɔkpɔ wo ɖokuiwo to gbe didiwo dodo ɖa me. Ame siawo tɔgbi axɔ tohehe sesẽtɔ.”
41 And as Iesus sate ouer against the treasurie, he beheld how the people cast money into the treasurie, and many rich men cast in much.
Yesu bɔbɔ nɔ anyi dze ŋgɔ nudzɔɖaka la. Ame siwo nye kesinɔtɔwo la va da ga home gãwo ɖe nudzɔɖaka la me dadatɔe.
42 And there came a certaine poore widowe, and she threw in two mites, which make a quadrin.
Ahosi dahe aɖe hã va, eye wòda pesewa eve ɖe nudzɔɖaka la me.
43 Then he called vnto him his disciples, and said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, that this poore widowe hath cast more in, then all they which haue cast into the treasurie.
Yesu yɔ eƒe nusrɔ̃lawo va eɖokui gbɔe, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Enye nyateƒe be ahosi dahe sia ƒe nu si wòda ɖe nudzɔɖaka me la xɔ asi wu nu si ame bubuawo katã wona,
44 For they all did cast in of their superfluitie: but she of her pouertie did cast in all that she had, euen all her liuing.
elabena ame siawo na nu si wozã wosusɔ la, ke ahosi dahe sia ya na nu si ŋu wòle be wòanɔ agbe ɖo la.”
