Mark 12
1 Then Jesus told [those Jewish leaders] a parable. [He wanted to show what God would do to those who rejected the former prophets and himself. He said], “A certain man planted a vineyard. He built a fence around it [in order to protect it]. He made a stone tank [to collect the juice that] they would press [out of the grapes]. He also built a tower [for someone to sit in to guard his vineyard]. Then he leased the vineyard to some men to care for it and [to] give him some of the [grapes] in return. Then he went away to another country.
Guero has cequién comparationez erraiten, Mahastibat landa ceçan guiçon-batec, eta ingura ceçan hessiz, eta eguin ceçan hobibat lacotaco, eta edifica ceçan dorrebat, eta aloca ciecén laborariey, eta camporat ioan cedin.
2 When the time came to harvest the [grapes], he sent a servant to the men [who were taking care of the vineyard] in order to receive from them his share of the grapes that the vineyard had produced.
Eta igor ceçan laborarietara sasoinean cerbitzaria, laborarietaric recebi leçançát mahastico fructutic.
3 But [after the servant arrived], they grabbed him and beat him, and they did not give him any fruit. Then they sent him away.
Baina hec hura harturic çaurt ceçaten, eta igor ceçaten hutsic.
4 Later the one who owned the vineyard sent another servant to them. But they beat that one on his head, and they insulted him.
Eta berriz igor ceçan hetara berce cerbitzaribat eta harri vkaldiz hauts cieçoten buruä, eta igor ceçaten desonestqui tractaturic.
5 Later he sent another servant. That man they killed. They mistreated many other servants [whom he sent]. Some they beat and some they killed.
Eta berriz bercebat igor ciecén, eta hura hil ceçaten: eta anhitz berceric, batzu cehatzen eta berceac hiltzen cituztela.
6 The man still had one other [person with him]. It was his son. He loved him very much. So, finally he sent his son to them because he thought that they would respect him [and give him some of the grapes].
Oraino bada bere seme maitebat vkan eta, hura-ere igorri vkan du hetara azquenic, cioela, Ahalque içanen dirade ene semearen.
7 But [when they saw his son coming], those men who were looking after the vineyard said to each other, ‘Look! Here comes the man who will some day inherit the vineyard! So let’s kill him in order that this vineyard will be ours!’
Baina laborari hec erran ceçaten bere artean, Haur da primua: çatozte hil deçagun haur, eta gure içanen da heretagea.
8 They seized him and killed him. Then they threw his body outside the vineyard.
Eta harturic hura hil ceçaten, eta iraitz ceçaten mahastitic campora.
9 So (do you know what the man who owns the vineyard will do?/I will tell you what the man who owns the vineyard will do [RHQ]). He will come, and he will kill those evil men who were taking care of his vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.
Cer eguinen du bada mahasti iabeac? Ethorriren da, eta deseguinen ditu laborariac, eta emanen du mahastia berceri.
10 [Now think carefully about these words], which you have read [in] the Scriptures: The men who were building the building rejected one stone. But others [put that same stone in its proper place, and] it has become the most important stone in the building [MET]!
Eta Scriptura haur-ere eztuçue iracurri? Edificaçaléc arbuyatu duten harria, cantoin buru eguin içan da:
11 The Lord has done this, and we marvel as we look at it.”
Iaunaz eguin içan da haur, eta da gauça miragarria gure beguién aitzinean?
12 Then [the Jewish leaders] realized that he was accusing them when he told this story [about what those wicked people did]. So they wanted to seize him. But they were afraid of what the crowds [would do if they did that]. So they left him and went away.
Ayher ciraden bada haren hatzamaitera, baina populuaren beldur ciraden: ecen eçagutu çuten hayén contra comparatione haur erran çuela: eta hura vtziric ioan citecen.
13 The [Jewish leaders] sent to [Jesus] some Pharisees [who thought that the Jews should pay only the tax that their own Jewish authorities required people to pay]. They also sent some members of the party that supported Herod [Antipas and the Roman government]. They wanted to make Jesus say something wrong [that would make one of those groups very angry with him].
Guero igor citzaten harengana Phariseuetaric eta Herodianoetaric batzu, hura hatzaman leçatençát hitzean.
14 After they arrived, they said to him [deceivingly], “Teacher, we know that you [teach] the truth. We also know that you are not concerned about [what] people [say about you, even if an important person does not like what you say]. Instead, you teach truthfully what God wants [us to do]. So [tell us what you think about this matter: ] Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government, or not [MTY]? Should we pay the taxes, or should we not pay them?”
Eta hec ethorriric diotsate, Magistruá, bacequiagu ecen eguiati aicela, eta nehoren ansiaric eztuála: ecen ezago guiçonén apparentiara beha, baina eguiazqui Iaincoaren bidea iracasten duc: Bidezco da tributaren Cesari emaitea, ala ez? emanen dugu, ala eztugu emanen?
15 Jesus knew that they did not really want to know [what God wanted them to do]. So he said to them, “(I [know that] you are [just] trying to make me say something wrong for which you can arrest me./Why are you [just] trying to make me say something wrong for which you can arrest me?) [RHQ] [But I will answer your question anyway]. Bring me a coin so that I might [ask you something after] I look at it.”
Eta harc, eçaguturic hayén hypocrisiá, erran ciecén, Cergatic tentatzen nauçue? ekardaçue dinerobat, ikus deçadançat.
16 After they brought him a coin, he asked them, “Whose picture is [on] this [coin]? And [whose] name [is on it]?” They replied, “It is a picture and the name of Caesar, [the man who rules the Roman government].”
Eta hec presenta cieçoten: orduan dioste, Norena da imagina haur eta scribua? Eta hec erran cieçoten, Cesarena.
17 Then Jesus said to them, “[That is correct, so] give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].” They were [frustrated at his answer but] amazed at what he said, [because they were not able to accuse him of anything because of what he said].
Eta ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ciecén, Renda ietzoçue Cesarenac Cesari: eta Iaincoarenac Iaincoari. Eta mirets ceçaten haren gainean.
18 [Men who belong to the] Sadducee [sect] deny that people become alive again after they die. [In order to discredit] Jesus [by ridiculing the idea that people will live again, some of] them came to him and asked him,
Orduan ethor citecen harengana Sadduceuac, ceinéc erraiten baitute eztela resurrectioneric, eta interroga ceçaten, cioitela,
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] that if a man who has no children dies, his brother should marry the dead man’s widow. [Then if those two bear children, everyone will consider that those children are the] children of the man who died, [and in that way the dead man will continue to have descendants].
Magistruá, Moysesec scribatu vkan diraucuc, baldin cembeiten anayea hil bada, eta vtzi badu emaztea, eta haourric vtzi ezpadu, har deçan haren anayac haren emaztea, eta eguin dieçón leinu bere anayeri.
20 [So here is an example]. There were seven boys [in one family]. The oldest one married [a woman], but [he and his wife] did not bear any children. Then he [later] died.
Cituán bada çazpi anaye: eta lehenac har cieçán emazte, eta hiltzean etzieçán leinuric vtzi.
21 The second [brother followed this law and] married that woman and he, too, did not bear any children. Then he [later] died. The third [brother did] like [his other brothers did. But he also did not bear any children, and later died].
Eta bigarrenac har cieçán hura, eta hil ciedián, eta harc-ere etzieçán leinuric vtzi: eta hirurgarrenac halaber.
22 Eventually all seven [brothers married that woman, one by one], but they had no children, and one by one they died. Afterwards the woman died, too.
Eta har cieçateán hura çazpiéc, eta leinuric etzieçateán vtzi: gucietaco azquenenic hil ciedián emaztea-ere.
23 Therefore, [if it were true what some people say, that people will become alive again after they die], whose wife do you think that woman will be when people become alive again? ([Keep in mind that] she was married to all seven [brothers]!/She was married to all seven [brothers, so how can anyone decide] [RHQ]?)”
Resurrectionean bada, resuscitatu diratenean hetaric ceinen emazte içanen da? Ecen çazpiéc hura emazte vkan dié.
24 Jesus replied to them, “You are certainly wrong [RHQ]. You do not know [what they have written in] the Scriptures [about this]. You also do not understand God’s power [to make people alive again].
Orduan ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ciecén, Eztuçue halacotz huts eguiten ceren ezpaitaquizquiçue Scripturác, ezeta Iaincoaren verthutea?
25 [That woman will not be the wife of any of them], because when people have become alive again, instead of men having wives and women having husbands, they will be like the angels in heaven, [who do not marry].
Ecen hiletaric resuscitatu diratenean, eztu nehorc emazteric harturen, ez emanen ezconçaz: baina içanen dirade ceruètaco Aingueruäc beçala.
26 But as to people becoming alive again after they die, in the book that Moses [wrote, he said something about people who have died] that I am sure that you have read [RHQ]. When Moses [was looking at] the bush [that was burning], God said to him, ‘I am the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].’
Eta hiléz den becembatean, ecen resuscitatzen diradela, eztuçue iracurri Moysesen liburuan, nola berroan hari minçatu içan çayón Iaincoa, cioela, Ni naiz Abrahamen Iaincoa, eta Isaac-en Iaincoa, eta Iacob-en Iaincoa?
27 It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we know their spirits were still alive]! So your [claim that dead people do not become alive again] is very wrong.”
Ezta hilén Iaincoa, baina vicién Iaincoa: çuec beraz haguitz enganatzen çarete.
28 A man who taught the [Jewish] laws heard their discussion. He knew that Jesus answered the question well. So he stepped forward and asked Jesus, “Which commandment is the most important?”
Eta ethor cedin Scribetaric cembeit, hec disputatzen ençunic, eta ikussiric ecen vngui ihardetsi cerauela, harc interroga ceçan, Cein da manamendu gucietaco lehena?
29 Jesus answered, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, [you people of] Israel! [You must worship] the Lord, our God, our only Lord.
Eta Iesusec ihardets cieçón. Manamendu gucietaco lehena duc, Behadi Israel, gure Iainco Iauna, Iaun bakoitzbat duc.
30 [You must show that you love him in all the ways that you live] Show it in all that you want and feel, in all that you think, and in all that you do!’
Onhetsiren duc bada eure Iainco Iauna, eure bihotz guciaz, eta eure arima guciaz, eta eure pensamendu guciaz, eta eure ahal guciaz: haur duc lehen manamendua.
31 The next [most important commandment] is: ‘You must love people you come in contact with as much as you love yourself.’ No other commandment is more important than these two!”
Eta bigarrenac hura irudi dic, Onhetsiren duc eure hurcoa eure buruä beçala: hauc baino berce manamendu handiagoric eztuc.
32 The man said to Jesus, “Teacher, [you have answered] well. You correctly said that he is the only [God] and that there is no other God [we must worship/obey].
Orduan erran cieçón Scriba harc, Vngui, Magistruá, eguiazqui erran duc, ecen Iaincobat dela eta harçaz berceric eztela:
33 You have also said correctly that we ([should/must show that we]) love God by all that we are, by all that we think, and by the way that we live. And you have said correctly that we must love (people with whom we come in contact/others) as much as we love ourselves. And you have also implied that doing these things [pleases God] more than offering/giving animals to him or burning [other] sacrifices.”
Eta haren onhestea bihotz guciaz, eta adimendu guciaz, eta arima guciaz, eta indar guciaz: eta hurcoaren onhestea bere buruä beçala, guehiago dela ecen ez holocausta eta sacrificio guciac.
34 Jesus realized that this man had answered wisely. So he said to him, “[I perceive that] you will soon [decide to let] God rule your life.” After that, [the Jewish leaders] were afraid to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
Eta Iesusec ikussi çuenean ecen harc çuhurqui ihardetsi çuela, erran cieçón, Ezaiz vrrun Iaincoaren resumatic. Eta nehor guehiagoric etzayón ausart interrogatzera.
35 [Later], while he was teaching in the Temple [courtyard], Jesus said [to the people], “These men who teach the [Jewish] laws, (they must be wrong when they say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David!/why do they say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David?) [RHQ]
Eta ihardesten çuela Iesusec erraiten çuen, templean iracasten ari cela, Nola dioite Scribéc ecen Christ Dauid-en seme dela?
36 The Holy Spirit caused David himself to say [about the Messiah], God said to my Lord, ‘Sit here beside me at the place where I will highly honor you! Sit here while I completely defeat your enemies! [MTY]’
Ecen Dauid-ec berac erran du Spiritu sainduaren inspirationez, Erran drauca Iaunac ene Iaunari, Iar-adi ene escuinean, eçar ditzaquedano hire etsayac hire oinén scabella.
37 Therefore, [because] David himself calls [the Messiah] ‘my Lord,’ (the Messiah cannot be [just] a man who descended [from King David!]/how can the Messiah be [just] a man who descended [from King David]?) [RHQ] [He must be much greater than David]”! Many people listened to him gladly [as he taught those things].
Beraz Dauid-ec berac deitzen du hura Iaun: nondic da beraz haren seme? Eta gendetze anhitzec ençuten çuen hura gogotic.
38 While Jesus was teaching [the people], he said to them, “Beware that you [do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They [like people to honor them, so] they put on long robes and walk around [in order to show people how important they are]. They also like people to greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
Eta erraiten cerauen bere doctrinán, Beguirauçue Scriba arropa lucequin ebili nahi diradenetaric, eta salutationey merkatuetan on dariztenetaric,
39 [They like to sit] in the most important seats in our (synagogue/Jewish meeting place). At festivals, [they like to sit in] the seats where the most honored people sit.
Eta lehen cadirey synagoguetan, eta lehen placey banquetetan:
40 They (swindle/take for themselves) the houses [and property] of widows by cheating them. [Then] they pretend [that they are good] by praying long prayers [publicly. God] will certainly punish them severely!”
Iresten dituztela ema alhargunén etcheac, are luçaqui othoitz eguin irudiz: hauc recebituren duté condemnatione handiagoa.
41 [Later], Jesus sat down [in the Temple courtyard opposite the boxes in which people put offerings. As he was sitting there], he watched as all the people put money in the box. Many rich people put in large amounts [of money].
Eta Iesusec truncoaren aurkán iarriric cegoela, gogoatzen çuen nola populuac diru emaiten çuen truncora, eta anhitz abratsec emaiten çutén anhitz.
42 Then a poor widow came along and put in two small copper coins, which had a very small value.
Eta ethorriric emazte alhargun paubre batec eman citzan bi peça chipi, baitziraden quadrantbat.
43 He gathered his disciples around him and said to them, “The truth is that these other people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs. [So God considers that] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the other people!”
