1 Mach, Jisasɨv ndɨŋ ondo ake ya ahɨmb akŋ han kamar. Wɨram emŋgav kɨrɨpa nor yambɨnsɨndɨnd war uimɨr amar.

And Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man once planted a vineyard, put a fence round it, dug a wine-press, built a tower, and then let it out to tenants and went abroad.
2 Avɨz kɨrɨpa nor yambɨnsɨnd hamb mɨŋ ŋgwi ntawɨmɨr amar. Ave war wanɨrɨv wɨram ntɨŋ mamah ŋamɨr pamuh kehan kaz wɨram kɨra kɨrɨpa nor yambɨnsɨndɨnd war ntɨŋ ŋamŋgɨmɨr hand pɨŋ omɨr amar. Ndɨndɨv kɨrɨpa nor yambɨnsɨnd han eŋgwamŋgɨz are omɨr amar.
At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants, to receive from them a share of the produce of the vintage;
3 Avɨz wɨram kɨra war ntɨŋ ŋamŋgɨmɨr hamb wɨram mban ŋe orɨmŋgɨmɨr amar. Ave ndɨn kiaŋgwɨmŋgɨz mamahon omɨr amar.
but they seized him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
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.
A second time the owner sent a servant to them; this man, too, the tenants struck on the head, and insulted.
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.
He sent another, but him they killed; and so with many others — 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.
He had still one son, who was very dear to him; and him he sent to them last of all. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
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 those tenants said to one another ‘Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and his inheritance will be ours.’
8 Ave ndɨn ŋe mamta ore kɨrɨpa nor yambɨnsɨndɨnd war akɨp handɨh avɨzumŋgɨmɨr amar.
So they seized him, and killed him, and 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.
What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and put the tenants to death, and he will let the vineyard to others.
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.
‘Have you never read this passage of Scripture? — ‘The very stone which the builders despised has now itself become the corner-stone;
11 Yakŋ Ohɨrav mbon kaz ndɨh ahevakari arar ki amar. Handɨv arɨ ndɨn warɨŋ mbɨ arɨŋɨnd ampɨn insɨŋ imbɨrun ñi arar ki amar.
this corner-stone has come from the Lord, and is marvellous in our eyes.’”
12 Ave mach, mbɨ wamŋgɨz, Jisasɨv ya ahɨmb ndɨŋndɨv kamar. Avɨz mbɨ Jisas aŋgwore ŋaŋɨndɨv njɨhamŋgɨmaraŋg, kɨrɨm wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋndɨv ezandɨkŋahambɨmŋgɨmar. Ave mbɨ Jisas erere omŋgɨmar.
After this his enemies were eager to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd; for they saw that it was at them that he had aimed the parable. So they let him alone, 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.
Afterwards they sent to Jesus some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to set a trap for him in the course of conversation.
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.

These men came to him and said: “Teacher, we know that you are an honest man, and are not afraid of any one, for you pay no regard to a person’s position, but teach the Way of God honestly; are we right in paying taxes to the Emperor, or not?
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.
Should we pay, or should we not pay?” Knowing their hypocrisy, Jesus said to them: “Why are you testing me? Bring me a florin to look at.”
16 Az mbɨ nsɨham nor han ŋe eŋgwamŋgɨz Jisasɨv ndɨŋ amarɨmar. Emansɨŋ mban mach ensa mban uñɨnd amar. Az mbɨ kamŋgɨmar. Han Sisarɨnd arɨmŋgɨmar.
And, when they had brought it, he asked: “Whose head and title are these?” “The Emperor’s,” they said;
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.
and Jesus replied: “Pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.” And they wondered at him.
18 Mach, untɨm Sadyusind hamb Jisasɨnd pɨŋ aimŋgɨmar. Untɨm mbanamb kamŋganj. Wɨram hamb me, mbɨ ekwaŋg mɨŋaiyahandɨram arɨmŋganj. Ave mbɨ Jisasɨh mbanave amarɨmŋgɨmar.
Next came some Sadducees — the men who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this —
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, in our Scriptures Moses decreed that, should a man’s brother die, leaving a widow but no child, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.
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.
There were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest took a wife, but died and left no family;
21 Avɨz ranɨrɨvez anchɨ mban ŋe, mbez mamar arɨmŋgɨmar. Mbez nornanch mah arɨmŋgɨmar. Az ranɨr emŋgavez enta haremampaŋg ramar arɨmŋgɨmar.
and the second took her, and died without family; and so did the third.
22 Mach, ahins hamb nornanch mah arɨmŋgɨmar. Avɨz mapɨŋ mɨŋun haŋ, anchɨ mbanambez mamar arɨmŋgɨmar.
All the seven died and left no family. The woman herself died last of all.
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.
At the resurrection whose wife will she be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”
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.
“Is not the reason of your mistake,” answered Jesus, “your ignorance of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
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.
When men rise from the dead, there is no marrying or being married; but they are as angels in Heaven.
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.
“As to the dead, and the fact that they rise, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God spoke to him thus — ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
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.
He is not God of dead men, but of living. You are greatly mistaken.”
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.
Then came up one of the Teachers of the Law who had heard their discussions. Knowing that Jesus had answered them wisely, he asked him this question: “What is the first of all the commandments?”
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.
“The first,” answered Jesus, “is — ‘Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is the one Lord;
30 Amɨ amakɨr achakɨñndɨvam rav amar. Amɨ amakɨr mpɨ unchaŋ ndɨndɨvam rav amar. Amakɨr kɨpɨrɨŋ, njɨhi amakɨrɨŋ, mach amakɨr aŋkarɨpɨrɨŋ ndɨndɨvam rav amar.
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.’
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 second is this — ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thou dost love thyself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
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.
“Wisely answered, Teacher!” exclaimed the Teacher of the Law. “It is true, as you say, that ‘there is one God,’ and that ‘there is no other besides him’;
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.

and to ‘love him with all one’s heart, and with all one’s understanding, and with all one’s strength,’ and to ‘love one’s neighbour as one loves oneself’ is far beyond all ‘burnt-offerings and 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.
Seeing that he had answered with discernment, Jesus said to him: “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” After that no one ventured to question him further.
35 Mach ave, Jisasɨv Yakŋ Ohɨrand marɨvai oram ohɨrand imbɨz unchaŋ ñɨmar. Ave mbɨ wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ han ya sɨke amarɨmar.

While Jesus was teaching in the Temple Courts, he asked: “How is it that the Teachers of the Law say that the Christ is to be David’s son?
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.
David said himself, speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit — ‘The Lord said to my lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I put thy enemies beneath thy feet.’”
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.
David himself calls him ‘lord,’ how comes it, then, that he is to be his son?” The mass of the people listened to Jesus with delight.
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.
In the course of his teaching, Jesus said: “See that you are on your guard against the Teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and to be greeted in the streets with respect,
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.
and to have the best seats in the Synagogues, and places of honour at dinner.

They are the men that rob widows of their homes, and make a pretence of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier.”
41 Mach ave, marɨvai oram ohɨra Yakŋ Ohɨrand ai esa nsɨham norɨnd hamb ñi handɨh Jisasɨv ikwɨm ŋkañɨmar.

Az wɨram akŋ anchɨ akŋ nsɨham norɨnsɨnd hamb nsɨham nor akŋ han ai esa unchaŋ hɨrɨzɨŋgwɨmŋgɨmar.
Then Jesus sat down opposite the chests for the Temple offerings, and watched how the people put money into them. Many rich people were putting in large sums;
42 Avɨz anchɨ enduwa hanɨhan mah apar hamb ai nsɨham nor undɨmaj akav han ai esa nsɨham norɨnd unchaŋ hɨrɨzɨŋgwɨmar.
but one poor widow came and put in two farthings, which make a half-penny.
43 Avɨz Jisasɨv sezɨr mbɨkɨr han oreŋgɨz aimŋgɨmar. Aimŋgɨz mbɨ ndɨŋ mbanave kamar. Nzɨ andɨŋ mɨŋun kin amar.

On this, calling his disciples to him, Jesus said: “I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than all the others who were putting money into the chests;
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.
for every one else put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, put in all she had — everything that she had to live on.”
