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.

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.
3 Avɨz wɨram kɨra war ntɨŋ ŋamŋgɨmɨr hamb wɨram mban ŋe orɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Ave ndɨn kiaŋgwɨmŋgɨz mamahon omɨr amar.
But [after the servant arrived], they grabbed him and beat him, and they did not give him any fruit. Then they sent him away.
4 Mach, war wanɨrɨv wɨram ntɨŋ mamah ŋamɨr emŋga han kaz we ndɨŋ pɨŋ omɨr amar. Avɨz mbɨ zɨ mbɨkɨr han orampɨhe ampi eŋgwe ndɨn kɨvahun sɨmŋgɨmɨr amar.
Later the one who owned the vineyard sent another servant to them. But they beat that one on his head, and they insulted him.
5 Az war wanɨrɨv wɨram emŋga han kaz oz ndɨn mamta orɨŋgamŋgɨmɨr amar. Avɨz war wanɨrɨv wɨram akŋ han kaz ndɨŋ pɨŋ omŋgɨmɨr amar. Ave hanaveaŋg orempɨre mach hanaveaŋg mamta orempɨramŋgɨmɨr amar.
Later he sent another servant. That man they killed. They mistreated many other servants [whom he sent]. Some they beat and some they killed.
6 Avɨz wɨram pamuh ñɨmɨr amar. Wɨram mban mbɨkɨr nor, mbɨ ndɨndɨvon ramɨr amar. Mach, ansam han nor mbɨkɨr han kaz mbɨ wɨram kɨra war ntɨŋ ŋamŋgɨmɨr hand pɨŋ omɨr amar. Mbɨkɨr wanɨrɨv mbon mbanave kamɨr amar. Mbɨ ihɨnd nor han we ampi ake mbɨkɨr ya han imbɨr njɨhamɨndɨramŋgi arar kamɨr amar.
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].
7 Kɨrɨm wɨram kɨra war ntɨŋ ŋamŋgɨmɨr mbanamb mbon ya mbon ya kamŋgɨmɨr amar. Wɨram mbanamb utuhutuh wanɨrɨnd han mɨŋam ŋandari arar kamŋgɨmɨr amar. Aimŋgɨn ndɨn mamta orɨm arar kamŋgɨmɨr amar. Az war mban arɨŋɨndɨvam arar kamŋgɨmɨr amar.
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!’
8 Ave ndɨn ŋe mamta ore kɨrɨpa nor yambɨnsɨndɨnd war akɨp handɨh avɨzumŋgɨmɨr amar.
They seized him and killed him. Then they threw his body outside the vineyard.
9 Avɨz war wanɨr hamb utɨzɨmɨr amar. Mbɨ ai wɨram kɨra kɨrɨpa nor yambɨnsɨndɨnd war ntɨŋ ŋamŋgɨmɨr mban mamta orempɨramɨr amar. Ave kɨrɨpa nor yambɨnsɨndɨnd war mban wɨram emŋgemŋga han eŋgwamɨr amar.
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.
10 Amɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrand anɨŋzɨŋ enta mban mamehɨmŋgɨm oh a amar. Ya mbanamb mbanave ki amar. Nsɨham mban wɨram kɨra oram asazɨnd hamb mbɨ kɨvah are ŋavɨzumŋgɨmar arar ki amar. Kɨrɨm nsɨham mbanamb nsɨham anɨŋnsar ukɨnd ñi arar ki amar.
[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]!
11 Yakŋ Ohɨrav mbon kaz ndɨh ahevakari arar ki amar. Handɨv arɨ ndɨn warɨŋ mbɨ arɨŋɨnd ampɨn insɨŋ imbɨrun ñi arar ki amar.
The Lord has done this, and we marvel as we look at it.”

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.
13 Mach ave, mbɨ kamŋgɨz wɨram untɨm Farisind hamb wɨram untɨm Herotɨnd hamen Jisasɨnd pɨŋ aimŋgɨmar. Ave mbɨ Jisasɨv yaya opɨha kaz ndɨn ya oramɨŋ hɨroŋɨn are aimŋgɨmar.
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].
14 Ave mbɨ ai ndɨn kamŋgɨmar. Anɨŋzɨŋ entand, arɨ ndɨh warɨŋ, amɨ wɨram ya mɨŋun karɨn arɨmŋgɨmar. Amɨ wɨram akŋ hamb handɨhambam arar njɨhame ndɨŋndɨv enta pamuh rarɨn arɨmŋgɨmar.

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?”
15 Avɨz Jisasɨv mbɨndɨŋ yosa han ndɨh wamar. Ave mbɨ ndɨŋ mbanave kamar. Amɨ utɨndɨv yan ondo mpamŋgɨn amar. Amɨ nsɨham nor emŋga han ŋe hɨraimŋgɨn waŋ amar.
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.”
16 Az mbɨ nsɨham nor han ŋe eŋgwamŋgɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ amarɨmar. Emansɨŋ mban mach ensa mban uñɨnd amar. Az mbɨ kamŋgɨmar. Han Sisarɨnd arɨmŋgɨmar.
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].”
17 Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ mbanave kamar. Utuhutuh Sisarɨnd han, han amɨ Sisar eŋgwavar amar. Mach, utuhutuh Yakŋ Ohɨrand han, han Yakŋ Ohɨra eŋgwavar amar. Avɨz, mbɨ ya mbɨkɨr mban njɨhame ntamŋgɨmar.
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].
18 Mach, untɨm Sadyusind hamb Jisasɨnd pɨŋ aimŋgɨmar. Untɨm mbanamb kamŋganj. Wɨram hamb me, mbɨ ekwaŋg mɨŋaiyahandɨram arɨmŋganj. Ave mbɨ Jisasɨh mbanave amarɨmŋgɨmar.
[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,
19 Anɨŋzɨŋ entand, Mosesɨv arɨŋɨndɨv enta mbanave mpamar arɨmŋgɨmar. Wɨram emŋgav maz, anchɨrɨv mbah ñi ave nornanch mah raz, mbɨkɨr ranɨrɨv anchɨ mban ŋe nornanch akore yanɨrɨnd ensaŋ ŋɨmbɨzahaz arar mpamar arɨmŋgɨmar.
“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].
20 Az mach, zɨŋgɨr pamuh hamb nor kɨra ahins ñɨmŋganj arɨmŋgɨmar. Mbɨndɨŋ azɨŋ anɨŋnsar hamb anchɨ mban ŋe, mboz mamar arɨmŋgɨmar. Mbɨ nornanch mah arɨmŋgɨmar.
[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.
21 Avɨz ranɨrɨvez anchɨ mban ŋe, mbez mamar arɨmŋgɨmar. Mbez nornanch mah arɨmŋgɨmar. Az ranɨr emŋgavez enta haremampaŋg ramar arɨmŋgɨmar.
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].
22 Mach, ahins hamb nornanch mah arɨmŋgɨmar. Avɨz mapɨŋ mɨŋun haŋ, anchɨ mbanambez mamar arɨmŋgɨmar.
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.
23 Avɨz mapɨŋ haŋ, osa anchɨ hamb ekwaŋg ŋaiahamŋgɨz, anchɨ mban uñɨmanɨnd anchɨ ñɨndari arɨmŋgɨmar. Amɨ ndɨh wan, wɨram akŋ ahins hamb ndɨn ŋamŋgɨz avɨz ndɨn anchɨ mbɨndɨŋ emamp ñanj arɨmŋgɨmar.
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]?)”
24 Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ kamar. Amɨ ya Yakŋ Ohɨrand anɨŋzɨŋ enta unchaŋ ñi han mach Yakŋ Ohɨrand aŋkarɨpɨr hanez mɨwamŋgɨrɨm amar. Handɨv amɨ ya opɨha kamŋgɨn amar.
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].
25 Wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ mamŋgɨmar hamb, mbɨ ekwaŋg ŋondɨrahandɨramŋgi amar. Kɨrɨm wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ kehamb, mbɨ anuwa mah anchɨ mah ñɨhɨrɨndɨramŋgi amar. Nend amar. Mbɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrand mapɨŋ akŋ Yakŋ Ohɨrand Aiampɨra Ohɨra Ñaŋɨnd emamp ñɨndɨramŋgi amar.
[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].
26 Avɨz wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb mamŋgɨz Yakŋ Ohɨrav ndɨŋ ekwaŋg ŋɨmbɨzahandari han, amɨ ya Mosesɨnd hamb anɨŋzɨŋ enta unchaŋ ñi han mamehɨmŋgɨm oh a amar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav aisaz handɨh Mosesɨh kamar amar. Yan Yakŋ Ohɨra Abrahamɨnd Aisekɨnd Jekopɨnd arar kamar amar.
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].’
27 Yakŋ Ohɨrah ndɨn wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ mamtand Yakŋ Ohɨra mah amar. Ndɨn wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ kɨpɨrɨnsɨnd ñɨmŋgi hand Yakŋ Ohɨra amar. Amɨ ya opɨha ndɨh kamŋgɨn amar.
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.”
28 Mach, wɨram ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd emŋga hamb ai njɨhamɨzand untɨm Sadyusind hamb Jisasmen ya aŋkarɨpɨr kamŋgɨmar. Mbɨ njɨhamɨzand Jisasɨv mbɨndɨŋ ya mbɨŋ ke kamar han imbɨrun ñɨmar. Ave mbɨ Jisasɨh amarɨmar. Utɨman entav enta akŋ han epari anɨŋnsar ñi amar.
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?”
29 Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨn mbɨŋ ke kamar. Enta anɨŋnsar ñi han mbanɨmb amar. Andɨŋ Israelɨnd omanenta njɨhambar amar. Anɨŋnsar Ohɨra, ndɨn Yakŋ Ohɨra arɨŋɨnd, ndɨnɨh Anɨŋnsar Ohɨra pamuhun amar.
Jesus answered, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, [you people of] Israel! [You must worship] the Lord, our God, our only Lord.
30 Amɨ amakɨr achakɨñndɨvam rav amar. Amɨ amakɨr mpɨ unchaŋ ndɨndɨvam rav amar. Amakɨr kɨpɨrɨŋ, njɨhi amakɨrɨŋ, mach amakɨr aŋkarɨpɨrɨŋ ndɨndɨvam rav amar.
[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!’
31 Mach, enta emŋga han mbanɨmb amar. Amɨ amakɨr ya pamɨnd handɨv rav amondɨv rarɨn hanaveaŋg amar. Enta emŋgemŋga hamb enta undɨmaj mbanan meparɨmŋgɨm amar.
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!”
32 Avɨz wɨram ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd mbanamb Jisasɨh mbanave kamar. Anɨŋzɨŋ entand, amɨ ya han mɨŋun kan amar. Yakŋ Ohɨrah ndɨn pamuhun arar kan amar. Yakŋ Ohɨra emŋgemŋgavaŋg mɨñɨm, nend arar kan amar.
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].
33 Ave amɨ ya hanez kan amar. Arɨ Achakɨñndɨvam arɨŋɨnd mpɨ unchaŋ ram arar kan amar. Ave njɨhi arɨŋɨndɨŋ, mach arɨŋɨnd aŋkarɨpɨrɨŋ ndɨndɨvam ram arar kan amar.

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.”
34 Wɨram mbanamb ya kazand Jisasɨv waz ndɨn wɨram njɨhi imbɨrɨnd emamp ñɨmar. Avɨz Jisasɨv ndɨn kamar. Amɨ Yakŋ Ohɨrand kwɨ haŋ taŋɨpɨr mɨñɨm amar. Avɨz wɨram akŋ hamb Jisas ekwaŋg amarɨŋɨn arar ezandɨkŋahambɨmŋgɨmar.
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].
35 Mach ave, Jisasɨv Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oram ohɨrand imbɨz unchaŋ ñɨmar. Ave mbɨ wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ han ya sɨke amarɨmar.

[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]
36 Kɨpɨr Imbɨr Yakŋ Ohɨrand hamb Devitɨh njɨhi eŋgwaz mbɨ mbonam mbanave kamar amar. Yakŋ Ohɨrav Anɨŋnsar Ohɨrah ihɨnd han mbanave kamar amar. Amɨ ihɨnd oman mɨŋɨnd haŋ ŋkañɨn nzɨ imbɨr amakɨr ahambɨrɨñarɨh ichorɨŋ amakɨr kwɨŋ ñɨndɨramŋgi arar kamar amar.
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]’
37 Az Devitɨv mbonam kamar amar. Wɨram mbanamb ihɨnd Anɨŋnsar Ohɨra ñi arar kamar amar. Avɨz utɨndɨv wɨram mbanamb Devitɨnd nor ñi amar. Ave mach, wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ ohɨron hamb Jisasɨnd ya han njɨhame ŋɨñɨmbam oŋambam ñɨhɨrɨmŋgɨmar.
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].
38 Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ sɨke kamar. Amɨ wɨram kɨra ya Mosesɨnd injambɨr ahe sɨkahɨnd han omanenta werɨvar amar. Mbɨ yupɨr hɨrahɨr osapɨr han hɨrandandɨv njɨhamŋgɨj amar. Ave wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb ndɨŋ rapɨrɨnt eŋgwamŋgɨz are uŋkɨ eŋgweŋgw ampɨra akŋ handɨvam njɨhamŋgɨj amar.
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.
39 Ave mbɨ sam ŋkañɨñɨnd hamb Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oramɨŋ anɨŋnsar ñi han ŋaŋɨndɨv njɨhamŋgɨj amar. Mach, yuŋk ohɨra unsa nand haŋ mbɨ sam ŋkañɨñɨnd anɨŋnsar ñi han ŋaŋɨndɨvez njɨhamŋgɨj amar.
[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.

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!”
41 Mach ave, marɨvai oram ohɨra Yakŋ Ohɨrand ai esa nsɨham norɨnd hamb ñi handɨh Jisasɨv ikwɨm ŋkañɨmar.

[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].
42 Avɨz anchɨ enduwa hanɨhan mah apar hamb ai nsɨham nor undɨmaj akav han ai esa nsɨham norɨnd unchaŋ hɨrɨzɨŋgwɨmar.
Then a poor widow came along and put in two small copper coins, which had a very small value.
43 Avɨz Jisasɨv sezɨr mbɨkɨr han oreŋgɨz aimŋgɨmar. Aimŋgɨz mbɨ ndɨŋ mbanave kamar. Nzɨ andɨŋ mɨŋun kin amar.

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!”
44 Wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ hamb nsɨham nor akŋ mbɨndɨŋ han mbah amar. Mbɨ ohɨra kamah hɨrɨzɨŋgwɨmŋgi amar. Kɨrɨm anchɨ mbanamb nsɨham nor mbɨkɨr han mɨŋam hɨrɨzɨŋgwi amar. Ave mbɨ nsɨham nor unsa uŋkɨ eŋgweŋgw han apar amar.
