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.
Și a început să le vorbească în parabole. “Un om a plantat o vie, a pus un gard în jurul ei, a săpat o groapă pentru presa de vin, a construit un turn, a dat-o în arendă unui fermier și a plecat în altă țară.
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.
Când a venit vremea, a trimis un servitor la fermier pentru a lua de la acesta partea lui din roadele viei.
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.
L-au prins, l-au bătut și l-au trimis departe cu mâna goală.
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.
El a trimis din nou un alt slujitor la ei; dar ei au aruncat cu pietre în el, l-au rănit la cap și l-au trimis departe cu un tratament rușinos.
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.
A trimis iarăși un altul, și l-au omorât pe el și pe mulți alții, bătându-i pe unii și omorându-i pe alții.
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].
De aceea, având încă unul, fiul său preaiubit, l-a trimis ultimul la ei, zicând: “Îl vor respecta pe fiul meu”.
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!’
Dar țăranii aceia au zis între ei: “Acesta este moștenitorul. Haideți să-l omorâm și moștenirea va fi a noastră'.
8 They seized him and killed him. Then they threw his body outside the vineyard.
L-au luat, l-au ucis și l-au aruncat afară din vie.
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.
Ce va face, așadar, stăpânul viei? Va veni și îi va nimici pe fermieri și va da via altora.
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]!
N-ați citit măcar Scriptura aceasta: “Piatra pe care au respins-o zidarii a fost numit șef de colț.
11 The Lord has done this, and we marvel as we look at it.”
Aceasta a fost de la Domnul. Este minunat în ochii noștri”?”?
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.
Ei au încercat să-L prindă, dar se temeau de mulțime, pentru că au înțeles că vorbea pilda împotriva lor. L-au lăsat și au plecat.
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].
Au trimis la el pe unii dintre farisei și dintre erodieni, ca să-l prindă cu vorba.
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?”
După ce au venit, l-au întrebat: “Învățătorule, știm că ești cinstit și că nu te înfrânezi de la nimeni, căci nu ești părtinitor față de nimeni, ci înveți cu adevărat calea lui Dumnezeu. Este sau nu este drept să plătim impozite Cezarului?
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.”
Să dăm, sau să nu dăm?” Dar El, cunoscând ipocrizia lor, le-a zis: “De ce Mă puneți la încercare? Aduceți-mi un denar, ca să-l văd”.
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].”
Și au adus-o. El le-a întrebat: “A cui este acest chip și această inscripție?” I-au spus: “A lui Cezar”.
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].
Isus le-a răspuns: “Dați Cezarului ce este al Cezarului și lui Dumnezeu ce este al lui Dumnezeu.” Ei s-au minunat foarte mult de el.
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,
Au venit la El niște saduchei, care ziceau că nu există înviere. L-au întrebat, zicând:
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].
“Învățătorule, Moise ne-a scris: “Dacă un frate al unui om moare și lasă în urma lui o soție și nu lasă copii, fratele său să ia pe soția lui și să ridice urmași fratelui său”.
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.
Erau șapte frați. Primul și-a luat o soție și, murind, nu a lăsat urmași.
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].
Al doilea a luat-o și a murit, fără să lase copii în urma lui. Al treilea, la fel;
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.
iar cei șapte au luat-o și nu au lăsat copii. Ultima dintre toate, femeia a murit și ea.
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]?)”
La înviere, când vor învia, a cui soție va fi ea dintre ei? Căci cei șapte au avut-o ca soție.”
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].
Isus le-a răspuns: “Nu cumva vă înșelați, pentru că nu cunoașteți Scripturile și puterea lui Dumnezeu?
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].
Căci, când vor învia din morți, nici nu se vor căsători, nici nu vor fi dați în căsătorie, ci vor fi ca îngerii din ceruri.
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].’
Dar despre morți, despre faptul că vor învia, n-ați citit în cartea lui Moise, despre Tufișul, cum i-a vorbit Dumnezeu, zicând: “Eu sunt Dumnezeul lui Avraam, Dumnezeul lui Isaac și Dumnezeul lui Iacov”?
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.”
El nu este Dumnezeul morților, ci al celor vii. Prin urmare, vă înșelați amarnic”.
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?”
Unul dintre cărturari, venind și auzindu-i pe ei întrebând împreună, și știind că le răspunsese bine, L-a întrebat: “Care poruncă este cea mai mare dintre toate?”
29 Jesus answered, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, [you people of] Israel! [You must worship] the Lord, our God, our only Lord.
Isus a răspuns: “Cel mai mare este: “Ascultă, Israele, Domnul Dumnezeul nostru, Domnul este unul.
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!’
Să iubești pe Domnul Dumnezeul tău din toată inima ta, din tot sufletul tău, din tot cugetul tău și din toată puterea ta. Aceasta este prima poruncă.
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!”
Cea de-a doua este așa: “Ce este a doua poruncă? “Să iubești pe aproapele tău ca pe tine însuți”. Nu există altă poruncă mai mare decât acestea”.”
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].
Cărturarul i-a zis: “Cu adevărat, învățătorule, bine ai spus că El este unul și nu este altul decât El;
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.”
și a-L iubi pe El cu toată inima, cu toată mintea, cu tot sufletul și cu toată puterea și a iubi pe aproapele ca pe sine însuși este mai de preț decât toate arderile de tot și decât toate jertfele.”
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].
Isus, văzând că a răspuns cu înțelepciune, i-a zis: “Nu ești departe de Împărăția lui Dumnezeu.” Nimeni nu a mai îndrăznit să-i pună întrebări după aceea.
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]
Isus a răspuns, în timp ce învăța în templu: “Cum se face că scribii spun că Hristosul este fiul lui David?
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]’
Căci David însuși a spus în Duhul Sfânt, “Domnul a spus Domnului meu, “Stai la dreapta mea, până ce voi face din vrăjmașii tăi scăunelul picioarelor tale.”
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].
De aceea însuși David îl numește Domn, și cum ar putea fi fiul său?” Oamenii de rând l-au ascultat cu bucurie.
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.
În învățătura sa, el le spunea: “Feriți-vă de cărturari, cărora le place să umble în haine lungi, să primească salutări în piețe,
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.
să obțină cele mai bune locuri în sinagogi și cele mai bune locuri la sărbători,
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!”
cei care devorează casele văduvelor și care, pentru a se preface, fac rugăciuni lungi. Aceștia vor primi o condamnare mai mare”.
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].
Isus a șezut în fața vistieriei și a văzut cum mulțimea arunca bani în vistierie. Mulți dintre cei bogați au aruncat mult.
42 Then a poor widow came along and put in two small copper coins, which had a very small value.
O văduvă săracă a venit și a aruncat două monede mici de aramă, care sunt cât o monedă de un pătrar.
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!”
El și-a chemat discipolii și le-a spus: “Adevărat vă spun că această văduvă săracă a dat mai mult decât toți cei care dau în vistierie,
căcitoți au dat din belșugul lor, dar ea, din sărăcia ei, a dat tot ce avea ca să trăiască.”
