And he began to be speaking unto them, in parables, —A man planted, a vineyard, and put round it a wall, and digged a wine-vat, and built a tower, —and let it out to husbandmen; and left home.
2 tadanantaraM phalakAlE kRSIvalEbhyO drAkSAkSEtraphalAni prAptuM tESAM savidhE bhRtyam EkaM prAhiNOt|
And he sent forth, unto the husbandmen, in the season, a servant, that, from the husbandmen, he might receive of the fruits of the vineyard;

and, taking him, they beat him, and sent him away, empty.
4 tataH sa punaranyamEkaM bhRtyaM praSayAmAsa, kintu tE kRSIvalAH pASANAghAtaistasya zirO bhagktvA sApamAnaM taM vyasarjan|
And, again, sent he forth unto them, another servant; and, him, they smote on the head, and dishonoured.
5 tataH paraM sOparaM dAsaM prAhiNOt tadA tE taM jaghnuH, Evam anEkESAM kasyacit prahAraH kasyacid vadhazca taiH kRtaH|
And another sent he forth; and, him, they slew. And many others; some, indeed beating, and, others, slaying.

Yet one, had he, a son beloved: he sent him forth last unto them, saying—They will pay deference unto my son!
7 kintu kRSIvalAH parasparaM jagaduH, ESa uttarAdhikArI, Agacchata vayamEnaM hanmastathA kRtE 'dhikArOyam asmAkaM bhaviSyati|
But, those husbandmen, unto themselves, said—This, is the heir: Come! let us slay him, and, ours, shall be, the inheritance.
8 tatastaM dhRtvA hatvA drAkSAkSEtrAd bahiH prAkSipan|
And, taking, they slew him, and cast him forth outside the vineyard.
9 anEnAsau drAkSAkSEtrapatiH kiM kariSyati? sa Etya tAn kRSIvalAn saMhatya tatkSEtram anyESu kRSIvalESu samarpayiSyati|
What will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come, and destroy the husbandmen, and let the vineyard unto others.
10 aparanjca, "sthapatayaH kariSyanti grAvANaM yantu tucchakaM| prAdhAnaprastaraH kONE sa Eva saMbhaviSyati|
Have ye not, this scripture, read—A stone which the builders rejected, the same, hath become head of the corner!
11 Etat karmma parEzasyAMdbhutaM nO dRSTitO bhavEt||" imAM zAstrIyAM lipiM yUyaM kiM nApAThiSTa?
From the Lord, hath this come to pass, and is marvellous in our eyes?

And they were seeking, to secure, him, —and were in fear of the multitude; for they perceived that, against them, the parable he had spoken. And, leaving him, they departed.

And they send forth unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might, catch, him, in discourse.

And, coming, they say unto him—Teacher! we know that, true, thou art, and it concerneth thee not about anyone, —for thou lookest not unto the face of men; but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach: —Is it allowable to give tax unto Caesar, or not? Should we give, or should we not give?
15 kintu sa tESAM kapaTaM jnjAtvA jagAda, kutO mAM parIkSadhvE? EkaM mudrApAdaM samAnIya mAM darzayata|
But, he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them—Why are ye, tempting, me? Bring me a denary, that I may see it.
16 tadA tairEkasmin mudrApAdE samAnItE sa tAn papraccha, atra likhitaM nAma mUrtti rvA kasya? tE pratyUcuH, kaisarasya|
And, they, brought one. And he saith unto them—Whose, is this image, and the inscription? And, they, said unto him—Caesar’s.
17 tadA yIzuravadat tarhi kaisarasya dravyANi kaisarAya datta, Izvarasya dravyANi tu IzvarAya datta; tatastE vismayaM mEnirE|
And, Jesus, said—the things of Caesar, render, unto Caesar, and, the things of God, unto God. And they were marvelling at him.
18 atha mRtAnAmutthAnaM yE na manyantE tE sidUkinO yIzOH samIpamAgatya taM papracchuH;
And there come Sadducees unto him, —who, indeed say—Resurrection, there is none! and they were questioning him, saying—

Teacher! Moses, wrote for us, that—If one’s brother die, and leave behind a wife, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20 kintu kEcit sapta bhrAtara Asan, tatastESAM jyESThabhrAtA vivahya niHsantatiH san amriyata|
Seven brethren, there were: and, the first, took a wife, and, dying, left no seed, —
21 tatO dvitIyO bhrAtA tAM striyamagRhaNat kintu sOpi niHsantatiH san amriyata; atha tRtIyOpi bhrAtA tAdRzObhavat|
And, the second, took her, and died, not leaving behind seed, —and, the third, likewise, —
22 itthaM saptaiva bhrAtarastAM striyaM gRhItvA niHsantAnAH santO'mriyanta, sarvvazESE sApi strI mriyatE sma|
And, the seven, left no seed; last of all, the woman also, died: —
23 atha mRtAnAmutthAnakAlE yadA ta utthAsyanti tadA tESAM kasya bhAryyA sA bhaviSyati? yatastE saptaiva tAM vyavahan|
In the resurrection, —of, which, of them shall she be, wife? For, the seven, had her to wife.
24 tatO yIzuH pratyuvAca zAstram Izvarazaktinjca yUyamajnjAtvA kimabhrAmyata na?
Jesus said unto them—Are ye not, for this cause, deceiving yourselves, knowing neither the Scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 mRtalOkAnAmutthAnaM sati tE na vivahanti vAgdattA api na bhavanti, kintu svargIyadUtAnAM sadRzA bhavanti|
For, when, from among the dead, they rise, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like messengers in the heavens.
26 punazca "aham ibrAhIma Izvara ishAka IzvarO yAkUbazcEzvaraH" yAmimAM kathAM stambamadhyE tiSThan IzvarO mUsAmavAdIt mRtAnAmutthAnArthE sA kathA mUsAlikhitE pustakE kiM yuSmAbhi rnApAThi?
But, as touching the dead, that they, do rise, —Have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying—I [am] the God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob: —
27 IzvarO jIvatAM prabhuH kintu mRtAnAM prabhu rna bhavati, tasmAddhEtO ryUyaM mahAbhramENa tiSThatha|
He is not a God of, dead, men, but of, living. Greatly, are ye deceiving yourselves.

And one of the Scribes, coming near, hearing them discussing, seeing that, well, he had answered them, began to question him—Which is the chief commandment of all?
29 "hE isrAyEllOkA avadhatta, asmAkaM prabhuH paramEzvara Eka Eva,
Jesus answered—The chief is: Hear! O Israel, —The Lord our God, is, one Lord;
30 yUyaM sarvvantaHkaraNaiH sarvvaprANaiH sarvvacittaiH sarvvazaktibhizca tasmin prabhau paramEzvarE prIyadhvaM," ityAjnjA zrESThA|
Therefore shalt thou 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 tathA "svaprativAsini svavat prEma kurudhvaM," ESA yA dvitIyAjnjA sA tAdRzI; EtAbhyAM dvAbhyAm AjnjAbhyAm anyA kApyAjnjA zrESThA nAsti|
The second, is, this—Thou shalt love, thy neighbour, as thyself. Greater than these, other commandment, is there none.
32 tadA sOdhyApakastamavadat, hE gurO satyaM bhavAn yathArthaM prOktavAn yata EkasmAd IzvarAd anyO dvitIya IzvarO nAsti;
The Scribe said unto him—Well, Teacher! in truth, hast thou said—He is, One, and there is none other, than he;
33 aparaM sarvvAntaHkaraNaiH sarvvaprANaiH sarvvacittaiH sarvvazaktibhizca IzvarE prEmakaraNaM tathA svamIpavAsini svavat prEmakaraNanjca sarvvEbhyO hOmabalidAnAdibhyaH zraSThaM bhavati|
And, to love him, with all the heart, and with all the understanding, —and with all the might; and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self, is, abundantly more, than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 tatO yIzuH subuddhEriva tasyEdam uttaraM zrutvA taM bhASitavAn tvamIzvarasya rAjyAnna dUrOsi|itaH paraM tEna saha kasyApi vAkyasya vicAraM karttAM kasyApi pragalbhatA na jAtA|
And, Jesus, seeing him, that, with intelligence he answered, said unto him—Not far, [art thou] from the kingdom of God! And, no one, any longer, was daring to, question, him.
35 anantaraM madhyEmandiram upadizan yIzurimaM praznaM cakAra, adhyApakA abhiSiktaM (tArakaM) kutO dAyUdaH santAnaM vadanti?
And Jesus, answering, was saying, as he taught in the temple—How say the Scribes that, the Christ, is, Son of David?
36 svayaM dAyUd pavitrasyAtmana AvEzEnEdaM kathayAmAsa| yathA| "mama prabhumidaM vAkyavadat paramEzvaraH| tava zatrUnahaM yAvat pAdapIThaM karOmi na| tAvat kAlaM madIyE tvaM dakSapArzv upAviza|"
David himself, hath said, by the Holy Spirit, —The Lord, hath said unto, my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I put thy foes beneath thy feet.
37 yadi dAyUd taM prabhUM vadati tarhi kathaM sa tasya santAnO bhavitumarhati? itarE lOkAstatkathAM zrutvAnananduH|
David himself, calleth him, Lord: whence, then, is he, his own son? And, the great multitude, was hearing him gladly.
38 tadAnIM sa tAnupadizya kathitavAn yE narA dIrghaparidhEyAni haTTE vipanau ca
And, in his teaching, he was saying—Beware of the Scribes, who desire, in robes, to be walking about, and salutations in the markets,
39 lOkakRtanamaskArAn bhajanagRhE pradhAnAsanAni bhOjanakAlE pradhAnasthAnAni ca kAgkSantE;
And first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the chief meals, —
40 vidhavAnAM sarvvasvaM grasitvA chalAd dIrghakAlaM prArthayantE tEbhya upAdhyAyEbhyaH sAvadhAnA bhavata; tE'dhikatarAn daNPAn prApsyanti|
Who devour widows’ houses, and, for a pretence, are long in prayer: these, shall receive a more surpassing judgment.
41 tadanantaraM lOkA bhANPAgArE mudrA yathA nikSipanti bhANPAgArasya sammukhE samupavizya yIzustadavalulOka; tadAnIM bahavO dhaninastasya madhyE bahUni dhanAni nirakSipan|
And, taking his seat over against the treasury, he was observing how, the multitude, was casting in copper into the treasury, and, man rich, were casting in, much.
42 pazcAd EkA daridrA vidhavA samAgatya dvipaNamUlyAM mudraikAM tatra nirakSipat|
And there came, one destitute, widow, and cast in two mites, which are, a farthing.
43 tadA yIzuH ziSyAn AhUya kathitavAn yuSmAnahaM yathArthaM vadAmi yE yE bhANPAgArE'smina dhanAni niHkSipanti sma tEbhyaH sarvvEbhya iyaM vidhavA daridrAdhikam niHkSipati sma|
And, calling near his disciples, he said to them—Verily, I say unto you, this destitute widow, more than they all, hath cast in, of those casting into the treasury;
44 yatastE prabhUtadhanasya kinjcit nirakSipan kintu dInEyaM svadinayApanayOgyaM kinjcidapi na sthApayitvA sarvvasvaM nirakSipat|
For, they all, out of their surplus, cast in, but, she, out of her deficiency, all, as much as she had, cast in, —the whole of her living.
