Mareko 12
1 A LAILA, hoomaka oia e olelo mai ia lakou ma na olelonane. Kanu iho la kekahi kanaka i ka malawaina, a hana iho la ia i ka pa a puni, a kohi ilalo i kahi e kaomi ai i ka waina, kukulu iho la i ka hale kiai, haawi ae la i na hoaaina, a hele aku la i ka aina e.
Then He began to speak to them in figurative language. "There was once a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a pit for the wine-tank, and built a strong lodge. Then he let the place to vine-dressers and went abroad.
2 A i ka wa pono, hoouna mai la ia i ke kauwa i na hoaaina, i loaa aku ia ia ka hua o ka malawaina, no ka poe hoaaina.
At vintage-time he sent one of his servants to receive from the vine-dressers a share of the grapes.
3 Hopu iho la lakou ia ia, kuikui aku la, a hoihoi nele aku la ia ia.
But they seized him, beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
4 Hoouna hou mai la ia io lakou la i kokahi kauwa hou; a hailuku aku la lakou ia ia, a eha kona poo, a hoihoi aku lakou ia ia me ka hoino.
Again he sent to them another servant: and as for him, they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.
5 Hoouna hou mai la ia i kekahi mea hou; a pepehi aku la lakou ia ia a make; a o na mea e ae he nui loa, kuikui no i kekahi, a pepehi i kekahi.
Yet a third he sent, and him they killed. And he sent many besides, and them also they ill-treated, beating some and killing others.
6 He keikikane hookahi kana, o kana punahele, oia kana i hoouna hope mai ai ia lakou, i mai la, E mahalo mai paha lakou i kuu keikikane.
He had still one left whom he could send, a dearly-loved son: him last of all he sent, saying, "'They will treat my son with respect.'
7 I ae la kela poe hoaaina ia lakou iho no, Eia no ka hooilina; ina kakou e pepehi ia ia, alaila, e lilo mai ka waiwai no kakou.
"But those men--the vine-dressers--said to one another, "'Here is the heir: come, let us kill him, and then the property will one day be ours.'
8 Hopu iho la lakou ia ia, pepehi aku la; a hoolei aku hoi; mailoko aku o ka malawaina.
"So they took him and killed him, and flung his body outside the vineyard.
9 No ia mea, pehea la nanei e hana mai ai ka haka o ia malawaina? E hele mai no ia a e luku iho ia poe hoaaina, a e haawi aku i ka malawaina no hai.
What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do?" "He will come and put the vine-dressers to death," they said; "and will give the vineyard to others."
10 Aole anei oukou i heluhelu i keia palapala, O ka pohaku i haaleleia e ka poe hana hale, ua lilo ia i pohaku kumu no ke kihi:
"Have you not read even this passage," He added, "'The stone which the builders rejected has become the Cornerstone:
11 O ka hana keia a Iehova, he mea mahalo ia i ko kakou mau maka.
this Cornerstone came from the Lord, and is wonderful in our esteem?'"
12 Imi iho la lakou e hopu ia ia, a makau ae la lakou i kanaka; no ka mea, ua ike lakou ua olelo oia i keia olelonane no lakou: a haalele lakou ia ia, a hele aku.
And they kept looking out for an opportunity to seize Him, but were afraid of the people; for they saw that in this parable He had referred to them. So they left Him and went away.
13 Hoouna mai la lakou i kekahi o ka poe Parisaio, a me ko Herode poe io na la e hoohihia ai ia ia ma ka olelo.
Their next step was to send to Him some of the Pharisees and of Herod's partisans to entrap Him in conversation.
14 A hiki mai la lakou, olelo mai la lakou ia ia, E ke kumu e, ua ike makou he pono oe, aole oe i makau i kekahi; aole hoi oe i nana i ko waho o ke kanaka, aka, ke hoike pono mai nei oe i ka aoao o ke Akua, ma ka oiaio: He mea pono anei, ke haawi aku i ka waiwai auhau na Kaisara? Aole anei?
So they came to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you are a truthful man and you do not fear any one; for you do not recognize human distinctions, but teach God's way truly. Is it allowable to pay poll-tax to Caesar, or not?
15 E haawi anei makou? Aole paha makou e haawi aku? Ike aku la ia i ko lakou hookamani ana, i aku la oia ia lakou, No ke aha la oukou e hoao mai nei ia'u? E lawe mai oukou i kekahi denari io'u nei i ike au.
Shall we pay, or shall we refuse to pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, replied, "Why try to ensnare me? Bring me a shilling for me to look at."
16 A lawe mai la lakou. Alila ninau aku oia ia lakou, Nowai keia kii, a me ka palapala? I mai la lakou ia ia. No Kaisara.
They brought one; and He asked them, "Whose is this likeness and this inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied.
17 Olelo aku la Iesu, i aku la ia lakou, E haawi aku i ka Kaisara ia Kaisara, a i ka ke Akua hoi i ke Akua. Pilipu iho la lakou ia ia.
"What is Caesar's," replied Jesus, "pay to Caesar--and what is God's, pay to God." And they wondered exceedingly at Him.
18 Alaila, hele aku la io na la, na Sadukaio ka poe i olelo, Aole e ala hou mai; ninau aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la,
Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.
19 E ke kumu, ua palapala mai o Mose ia makou. Ina i make ke kaikuaana o kekahi kanaka, a koe ka wahine ana, aole hoi ana keiki, na ke kaikaina no e mare ia wahine, i loaa ke keiki na kona kaikuaana.
"Rabbi," they said, "Moses made it a law for us: 'If a man's brother should die and leave a wife, but no child, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.'
20 Ehiku no na keiki kane; a mare aku la ka hiapo i ka wahine, a make ia, aole ana keiki.
There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, but at his death left no family.
21 Mare ae la ke kaikaina ia ia, a make ia, aole no hoi ana keiki; a pela no ka muli aku.
The second married her, and died, leaving no family; and the third did the same.
22 A mare ae la no hoi ka poe ehiku a pau ia ia, aole hoi a lakou keiki; a mahope iho, make aku la no hoi ka wahine.
And so did the rest of the seven, all dying childless. Finally the woman also died.
23 Nolaila, i ke ala hou ana mai, a ala hou lakou, nawai la uanei o lakou ua wahine la? No ka mea, moe aku no lakou ehiku ia ia.
At the Resurrection whose wife will she be? For they all seven married her."
24 Olelo mai Iesu, i mai la ia lakou, Aole anei oukou i lalau, no ko oukou ike ole ana i ka palapala hemolele, a me ka mana o ke Akua?
"Is not this the cause of your error," replied Jesus--"your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
25 No ka mea, i ka wa e ala hou mai ai lakou, maiwaena mai o ka poe make, aole lakou e mare, aole hoi e hoopalauia; aka, e like ana lakou, me na anela iloko o ka lani.
For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven.
26 A no ke ala hou ana o ka poe make, aole anei oukou i heluhelu iloko o ka palapala a Mose, i ka mea a ke Akua i olelo mai ai ia ia, maloko o ka laau, i mai, Owau no ke Akua o Aberahama, a o ke Akua o Isaaka, a o ke Akua o Iakoba?
But as to the dead, that they rise to life, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'
27 Aole oia ke Akua o ka poe make, aka, ke Akua no ia o ka poe ola; no ia mea, ua lalau oukou.
He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error."
28 Hele mai la kekahi o ka poe kakauolelo, a lohe i ka lakou kamailio ana, a ike ia i ka pono o ka Iesu olelo ana, alaila, ninau aku la oia ia ia, Heaha la ke kanawai nui o na kanawai a pau?
Then one of the Scribes, who had heard them disputing and well knew that Jesus had given them an answer to the point, and a forcible one, came forward and asked Him, "Which is the chief of all the Commandments?"
29 I mai la Iesu ia ia, Eia ke kanawai nui o na kanawai a pau, E hoolohe mai, e ka Iseraela, o Iehova, o ko kakou Akua, o ka Haku hookahi no ia:
"The chief Commandment," replied Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;
30 E aloha oe ia Iehova i kou Akua, me kou naau a pau, a me kou uhane a pau, a me kou manao a pau, a me kou ikaika a pau; oia ke kanawai i oi.
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind, and thy whole strength.'
31 A ua like no hoi ka lua me ia, E aloha oe i kou hoalauna me kou aloha ia oe iho. Aole kanawai e ae i oi mamua o keia mau kanawai.
"The second is this: 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as thou lovest thyself.' "Other Commandment greater than these there is none."
32 I aku la ua kakauolelo la ia ia, Maikai, e ke Kumu, ua olelo mai oe i ka mea oiaio; no ka mea, hookahi wale no Akua, aole e ae, oia wale no.
So the Scribe said to Him, "Rightly, in very truth, Rabbi, have you said that He stands alone, and there is none but He;
33 A o ke aloha aku ia ia me ka naau a pau, a me ka manao a pau, a me ka uhane a pau, a me ka ikaika a pau a o ke aloha aku i ka hoalauna, e like me kona aloha ia ia iho, ua oi no keia mau mea mamua o na mohaikuni, a me na mea mohai a pau loa.
and To love Him with all one's heart, with all one's understanding, and with all one's strength, and to love one's fellow man no less than oneself, is far better than all our whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices."
34 Ike mai la Iesu, ua pono kana olelo ana mai, alaila, i mai la oia ia ia, Aole oe i mamao ae i ke aupuni o ke Akua. Mai ia wa iho, aohe kanaka i aa e ninaninau hou aku ia ia.
Perceiving that the Scribe had answered wisely Jesus said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one from that time forward ventured to put any question to Him.
35 Olelo mai la Iesu, i mai la ma kana ao ana iloko o ka luakini, No ke aha la i olelo mai ai ka poe kakauolelo, He keiki na Davida ka Mesia?
But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?
36 No ka mea, olelo mai la o Davida ma ka Uhane Hemolele, Olelo mai la o Iehova i ko'u Haku, E noho mai oe ma ko'u lima akau, a hoolilo aku ai au i kou enemi i keehana wawae nou.
David himself said, taught by the Holy Spirit, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I have made thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
37 A ina kapa aku o Davida ia ia i Haku, Pehea la hoi oia he keiki nana? A lohe ae la na makaainana ia ia me ka olioli.
"David himself calls Him 'Lord:' how then can He be his son?" And the mass of people found pleasure in listening to Jesus.
38 I mai la oia ia lakou ma kana ao ana, E ao oukou no ka ka poe kakauolelo; ke makemake nei lakou e hele me ke kapa loihi, a me ke alohaia mai ma kahi kuai,
Moreover in the course of His teaching He said, "Be on your guard against the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes and to be bowed to in places of public resort,
39 A me na noho hanohano iloko o na halehalawai, a me na wahi maikai ma na ahaaina.
and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues and at dinner parties,
40 Ua pau ia lakou na hale o na wahinekanemake, a ke hooloihi nei lakou i ka pule no ka ikeia mai. E nui aku auanei ko lakou hoohewaia.
and who swallow up the property of widows and then mask their wickedness by making long prayers: these men will receive far heavier punishment."
41 Noho iho la Iesu ma ke alo o ka waihonakala, a nana ae la i kanaka e hoolei ana i ke kala iloko o ka waihonakala; a nui loa iho la na mea waiwai i hoolei nui mai.
Having taken a seat opposite the Treasury, He observed how the people were dropping money into the Treasury, and that many of the wealthy threw in large sums.
42 Hele mai la kekahi wahinekanemake hune, hoolei mai la ia i elua Iepeta, a o laua pu, hookahi ia keneta.
But there came one poor widow and dropped in two farthings, equal in value to a halfpenny.
43 Alaila, kahea mai la ia i kana poe haumana, i mai la ia lakou, He oiaio ka'u e olelo aku nei ia oukou, O keia wahinekanemake hune, ua oi aku kana mea i hoolei iho ai, mamua o ko lakou a pau, ka poe i hoolei iho iloko o ka waihonakala:
So He called His disciples to Him and said, "In solemn truth I tell you that this widow, poor as she is, has thrown in more than all the other contributors to the Treasury;
44 No ka mea, hoolei iho lakou a pau, no loko o ka lakou waiwai nui; aka, oia, ma kona hune, ua hoolei mai ia i kona mea a pau, i kona mea ola a pau hoi.
for they have all contributed out of what they could well spare, but she out of her need has thrown in all she possessed--all she had to live on."
