Marcum 12
1 Et cœpit illis in parabolis loqui: Vineam pastinavit homo, et circumdedit sepem, et fodit lacum, et ædificavit turrim, et locavit eam agricolis, et peregre profectus est.
And he began to speak to them in similes: 'A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and digged an under-wine-vat, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad;
2 Et misit ad agricolas in tempore servum ut ab agricolis acciperet de fructu vineæ.
and he sent unto the husbandmen at the due time a servant, that from the husbandmen he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard,
3 Qui apprehensum eum ceciderunt, et dimiserunt vacuum.
and they, having taken him, did severely beat [him], and did send him away empty.
4 Et iterum misit ad illos alium servum: et illum in capite vulneraverunt, et contumeliis affecerunt.
'And again he sent unto them another servant, and at that one having cast stones, they wounded [him] in the head, and sent away — dishonoured.
5 Et rursum alium misit, et illum occiderunt: et plures alios: quosdam cædentes, alios vero occidentes.
'And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing.
6 Adhuc ergo unum habens filium carissimum, et illum misit ad eos novissimum, dicens: Quia reverebuntur filium meum.
'Having yet therefore one son — his beloved — he sent also him unto them last, saying — They will reverence my son;
7 Coloni autem dixerunt ad invicem: Hic est hæres: venite, occidamus eum: et nostra erit hæreditas.
and those husbandmen said among themselves — This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and ours shall be the inheritance;
8 Et apprehendentes eum, occiderunt: et ejecerunt extra vineam.
and having taken him, they did kill, and cast [him] forth without the vineyard.
9 Quid ergo faciet dominus vineæ? Veniet, et perdet colonos, et dabit vineam aliis.
'What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Nec scripturam hanc legistis: Lapidem quem reprobaverunt ædificantes, hic factus est in caput anguli:
And this Writing did ye not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it did become the head of a corner:
11 a Domino factum est istud, et est mirabile in oculis nostris?
from the Lord was this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.'
12 Et quærebant eum tenere: et timuerunt turbam: cognoverunt enim quoniam ad eos parabolam hanc dixerit. Et relicto eo abierunt.
And they were seeking to lay hold on him, and they feared the multitude, for they knew that against them he spake the simile, and having left him, they went away;
13 Et mittunt ad eum quosdam ex pharisæis, et herodianis, ut eum caperent in verbo.
and they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may ensnare him in discourse,
14 Qui venientes dicunt ei: Magister, scimus quia verax es, et non curas quemquam: nec enim vides in faciem hominum, sed in veritate viam Dei doces. Licet dari tributum Cæsari, an non dabimus?
and they having come, say to him, 'Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men, but in truth the way of God dost teach; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? may we give, or may we not give?'
15 Qui sciens versutiam illorum, ait illis: Quid me tentatis? afferte mihi denarium ut videam.
And he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, 'Why me do ye tempt? bring me a denary, that I may see;'
16 At illi attulerunt ei. Et ait illis: Cujus est imago hæc, et inscriptio? Dicunt ei: Cæsaris.
and they brought, and he saith to them, 'Whose [is] this image, and the inscription?' and they said to him, 'Caesar's;'
17 Respondens autem Jesus dixit illis: Reddite igitur quæ sunt Cæsaris, Cæsari: et quæ sunt Dei, Deo. Et mirabantur super eo.
and Jesus answering said to them, 'Give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;' and they did wonder at him.
18 Et venerunt ad eum sadducæi, qui dicunt resurrectionem non esse: et interrogabant eum, dicentes:
And the Sadducees come unto him, who say there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,
19 Magister, Moyses nobis scripsit, ut si cujus frater mortuus fuerit, et dimiserit uxorem, et filios non reliquerit, accipiat frater ejus uxorem ipsius, et resuscitet semen fratri suo.
'Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if any one's brother may die, and may leave a wife, and may leave no children, that his brother may take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 Septem ergo fratres erant: et primus accepit uxorem, et mortuus est non relicto semine.
'There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed;
21 Et secundus accepit eam, et mortuus est: et nec iste reliquit semen. Et tertius similiter.
and the second took her, and died, neither left he seed, and the third in like manner,
22 Et acceperunt eam similiter septem: et non reliquerunt semen. Novissima omnium defuncta est et mulier.
and the seven took her, and left no seed, last of all died also the woman;
23 In resurrectione ergo cum resurrexerint, cujus de his erit uxor? septem enim habuerunt eam uxorem.
in the rising again, then, whenever they may rise, of which of them shall she be wife — for the seven had her as wife?'
24 Et respondens Jesus, ait illis: Nonne ideo erratis, non scientes Scripturas, neque virtutem Dei?
And Jesus answering said to them, 'Do ye not because of this go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God?
25 Cum enim a mortuis resurrexerint, neque nubent, neque nubentur, sed sunt sicut angeli in cælis.
for when they may rise out of the dead, they neither marry nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers who are in the heavens.
26 De mortuis autem quod resurgant, non legistis in libro Moysi, super rubum, quomodo dixerit illi Deus, inquiens: Ego sum Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob?
'And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the Book of Moses (at The Bush), how God spake to him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
27 Non est Deus mortuorum, sed vivorum. Vos ergo multum erratis.
he is not the God of dead men, but a God of living men; ye then go greatly astray.'
28 Et accessit unus de scribis, qui audierat illos conquirentes, et videns quoniam bene illis responderit, interrogavit eum quod esset primum omnium mandatum.
And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, questioned him, 'Which is the first command of all?'
29 Jesus autem respondit ei: Quia primum omnium mandatum est: Audi Israël, Dominus Deus tuus, Deus unus est:
and Jesus answered him — 'The first of all the commands [is], Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one;
30 et diliges Dominum Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, et ex tota anima tua, et ex tota mente tua, et ex tota virtute tua. Hoc est primum mandatum.
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of thy soul, and out of all thine understanding, and out of all thy strength — this [is] the first command;
31 Secundum autem simile est illi: Diliges proximum tuum tamquam teipsum. Majus horum aliud mandatum non est.
and the second [is] like [it], this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; — greater than these there is no other command.'
32 Et ait illi scriba: Bene, Magister, in veritate dixisti, quia unus est Deus, et non est alius præter eum.
And the scribe said to him, 'Well, Teacher, in truth thou hast spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He;
33 Et ut diligatur ex toto corde, et ex toto intellectu, et ex tota anima, et ex tota fortitudine, et diligere proximum tamquam seipsum, majus est omnibus holocautomatibus, et sacrificiis.
and to love Him out of all the heart, and out of all the understanding, and out of all the soul, and out of all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.'
34 Jesus autem videns quod sapienter respondisset, dixit illi: Non es longe a regno Dei. Et nemo jam audebat eum interrogare.
And Jesus, having seen him that he answered with understanding, said to him, 'Thou art not far from the reign of God;' and no one any more durst question him.
35 Et respondens Jesus dicebat, docens in templo: Quomodo dicunt scribæ Christum filium esse David?
And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, 'How say the scribes that the Christ is son of David?
36 Ipse enim David dicit in Spiritu Sancto: Dixit Dominus Domino meo: Sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.
for David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on My right hand, till I place thine enemies — thy footstool;
37 Ipse ergo David dicit eum Dominum, et unde est filius ejus? Et multa turba eum libenter audivit.
therefore David himself saith of him Lord, and whence is he his son?' And the great multitude were hearing him gladly,
38 Et dicebat eis in doctrina sua: Cavete a scribis, qui volunt in stolis ambulare, et salutari in foro,
and he was saying to them in his teaching, 'Beware of the scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places,
39 et in primis cathedris sedere in synagogis, et primos discubitus in cœnis:
and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in suppers,
40 qui devorant domos viduarum sub obtentu prolixæ orationis: hi accipient prolixius judicium.
who are devouring the widows' houses, and for a pretence are making long prayers; these shall receive more abundant judgment.'
41 Et sedens Jesus contra gazophylacium, aspiciebat quomodo turba jactaret æs in gazophylacium, et multi divites jactabant multa.
And Jesus having sat down over-against the treasury, was beholding how the multitude do put brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much,
42 Cum venisset autem vidua una pauper, misit duo minuta, quod est quadrans,
and having come, a poor widow did put in two mites, which are a farthing.
43 et convocans discipulos suos, ait illis: Amen dico vobis, quoniam vidua hæc pauper plus omnibus misit, qui miserunt in gazophylacium.
And having called near his disciples, he saith to them, 'Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath put in more than all those putting into the treasury;
44 Omnes enim ex eo, quod abundabat illis, miserunt: hæc vero de penuria sua omnia quæ habuit misit totum victum suum.
for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, all that she had put in — all her living.'
