¹And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

¹Ja see sündis ühel neist päevist, kui Jeesus rahvast pühakojas õpetas ja evangeeliumi kuulutas, et ülempreestrid ja kirjatundjad koos vanematega astusid ta juurde

²And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

²ja küsisid temalt: 'Ütle meile, millise meelevallaga sa neid asju teed või kes on see, kes sulle selle meelevalla on andnud?'

³And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:

³Jeesus kostis neile: 'Ka mina küsin teilt ühte asja. Öelge mulle,

⁴The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

⁴kas Johannese ristimine oli taevast või inimestest.'

⁵And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

⁵Aga nemad arutasid omavahel: 'Kui ütleme, et taevast, siis ta ütleb: 'Miks te siis ei uskunud teda?'

⁶But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

⁶Kui me aga ütleksime: 'Inimestest', siis kogu rahvas viskab meid kividega surnuks, sest nemad on veendunud, et Johannes oli prohvet.'

⁷And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

⁷Ja nemad vastasid, et nad ei teadvat, kust see oli.

⁸And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.

⁸Siis Jeesus ütles neile: 'Ega minagi teile ütle, millise meelevallaga ma seda teen.'

⁹Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

⁹Jeesus aga hakkas rahvale rääkima seda tähendamissõna: 'Üks inimene istutas viinamäe ja andis selle rentnike kätte ning reisis pikaks ajaks võõrsile.

¹⁰And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

¹⁰Ja parajal ajal läkitas ta sulase rentnike juurde, et need sellele annaksid viinamäe viljast. Aga rentnikud peksid teda ja saatsid ta minema tühjade kätega.

¹¹And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

¹¹Ja ta läkitas veel teise sulase. Nemad peksid ja solvasid tedagi ning saatsid ta minema tühjade kätega.

¹²And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

¹²Ja ta läkitas veel kolmanda. Aga sellegi nad peksid veriseks ja viskasid välja.

¹³Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

¹³Siis mõtles viinamäe isand: 'Mis ma pean tegema? Ma saadan oma armsa poja, võib-olla teda nad häbenevad.'

¹⁴But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

¹⁴Aga teda nähes arutasid rentnikud omavahel: 'Tema ongi see pärija! Tapame ta ära, et pärand saaks meile!'

¹⁵So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

¹⁵Ja nad viskasid ta viinamäelt välja ning tapsid ära. Mida nüüd viinamäe isand teeb nendega?

¹⁶He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

¹⁶Ta tuleb ja hukkab need rentnikud ja annab viinamäe teiste kätte.' Seda kuuldes nad ütlesid: 'Taevas hoidku selle eest!'

¹⁷And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

¹⁷Tema aga ütles neile otsa vaadates: 'Mida siis tähendab see kirjasõna: Kivi, mille ehitajad tunnistasid kõlbmatuks - seesama on saanud nurgakiviks?

¹⁸Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

¹⁸Igaüks, kes selle kivi peale kukub, kukub end puruks, aga kelle peale iganes see kivi langeb, selle teeb see pihuks ja põrmuks.'

¹⁹And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

¹⁹Ja kirjatundjad ja ülempreestrid otsisid võimalust selsamal tunnil pista käsi tema külge, kuid nad kartsid rahvast. Nad ju mõistsid, et Jeesus oli selle tähendamissõna rääkinud nende kohta.

²⁰And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.

²⁰Ja nad läkitasid Jeesust varitsema nuhke, kes pidid teesklema õigeid, et teda tabada mõne sõna pealt, nii et nad võiksid ta anda maavalitseja võimusesse ja meelevalda.

²¹And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:

²¹Ja need küsisid temalt: 'Õpetaja, me teame, et sa räägid ja õpetad õigesti ega otsusta näo järgi, vaid õpetad Jumala teed tõepäraselt.

²²Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

²²Kas me peame keisrile andma pearaha või ei?'

²³But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?

²³Aga et Jeesus märkas nende salakavalust, ütles ta neile:

²⁴Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.

²⁴'Näidake mulle teenarit! Kelle pilt ja kiri sellel on?' Nemad ütlesid: 'Keisri.'

²⁵And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

²⁵Jeesus ütles neile: 'Andke siis nüüd keisri oma keisrile tagasi ja Jumala oma Jumalale!'

²⁶And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

²⁶Ja nad ei suutnud teda millestki tema kõnes tabada rahvahulga ees ja tema vastust imetledes jäid nad vait.

²⁷Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

²⁷Jeesuse juurde astusid mõned saduserid, kes ütlesid, et surnuist ülestõusmist ei ole olemas, ja küsisid temalt:

²⁸Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁸'Õpetaja, Mooses on meile kirjutanud: Kui sureb kellegi vend, kel on naine, ja tal ei ole olnud lapsi, siis ta vend peab võtma oma surnud venna naise ja soetama sugu vennale.

²⁹There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

²⁹Oli kord seitse venda: ja esimene võttis naise ja suri lapseta,

³⁰And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

³⁰ja teine,

³¹And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

³¹ja kolmas võttis tema, ja nõndasamuti kõik seitse - nad ei jätnud lapsi järele ja surid.

³²Last of all the woman died also.

³²Pärast suri ka naine.

³³Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.

³³See naine - kelle naiseks nende seast ta saab ülestõusmisel? Ta on olnud naiseks ju neile seitsmele.'

³⁴And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

³⁴Ja Jeesus ütles neile: 'Selle ajastu lapsed võtavad naisi ja lähevad mehele,

³⁵But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

³⁵aga kes on väärt arvatud saama tolle ajastu osaliseks ja surnuist üles tõusma, need ei võta naist ega lähe mehele,

³⁶Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

³⁶sest nad ei saa enam surra, nad on ju inglite sarnased ja on Jumala pojad, olles ülestõusmise pojad.

³⁷Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

³⁷Aga et surnud tõusevad üles, seda osutab ka Mooses kibuvitsapõõsa loos, kui ta nimetab Issandat Aabrahami Jumalaks ja Iisaki Jumalaks ja Jaakobi Jumalaks.

³⁸For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.

³⁸Jumal ei ole surnute, vaid elavate Jumal, sest kõik elavad temale.'

³⁹Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.

³⁹Siis mõned kirjatundjaist kostsid: 'Õpetaja, sa rääkisid hästi',

⁴⁰And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

⁴⁰sest nad ei julgenud temalt enam midagi küsida.

⁴¹And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?

⁴¹Jeesus aga ütles neile: 'Kuidas nad ütlevad Messia olevat Taaveti poja?

⁴²And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

⁴²Taavet ise ju ütleb Laulude raamatus: Issand ütles mu Issandale: Istu mu paremale käele,

⁴³Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

⁴³kuni ma panen su vaenlased su jalgealuseks järiks!

⁴⁴David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

⁴⁴Seega nimetab Taavet teda Issandaks - kuidas on ta siis tema poeg?'

⁴⁵Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁵Aga Jeesus ütles kogu rahva kuuldes jüngritele:

⁴⁶Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

⁴⁶'Hoiduge kirjatundjatest, kes tahavad kõndida pikkades kuubedes ning armastavad teretusi turgudel ja esimesi istmeid sünagoogides ja esimesi kohti pidusöökidel,

⁴⁷Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

⁴⁷kes neelavad alla lesknaiste majad ja silmakirjaks venitavad palvetused pikaks! Nemad saavad seda rängema kohtuotsuse.'
