¹And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

¹Ja Jeesus hakkas taas neile mõistu kõnelema:

²The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,

²'Taevariik on kuninga sarnane, kes tegi oma pojale pulmad.

³And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.

³Ja ta läkitas oma sulased kutsutuid pulmapeole paluma, aga need ei tahtnud tulla.

⁴Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.

⁴Taas ta läkitas teisi sulaseid: 'Öelge kutsutuile: Vaata, mu söömaaeg on valmis, mu härjad ja nuumveised on tapetud ja kõik on valmis, tulge pulma!'

⁵But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:

⁵Aga kutsutud ei hoolinud sellest ja läksid ära, kes oma põllule, kes oma kaubale,

⁶And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.

⁶mõned aga võtsid sulased kinni, teotasid neid ja tapsid nad ära.

⁷But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

⁷Kuningas vihastas ja saatis oma sõjaväed, hukkas need mõrtsukad ja süütas põlema nende linna.

⁸Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

⁸Siis ta ütles oma sulastele: 'Pulmad on küll valmis, aga kutsutud ei olnud seda väärt.

⁹Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

⁹Minge nüüd teelahkmetele ja kutsuge pulma, keda te iganes leiate!'

¹⁰So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

¹⁰Ja sulased läksid välja teedele ja kogusid kokku kõik, keda leidsid, nii halbu kui häid, ning pulmakoda sai täis pidulisi.

¹¹And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

¹¹Aga kui kuningas astus sisse pidulisi vaatama, nägi ta seal inimest, kellel ei olnud pulmarõivast seljas.

¹²And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

¹²Ja ta ütles talle: 'Sõber, kuidas sina oled tulnud siia ilma pulmarõivata?' Aga see ei saanud sõnagi suust.

¹³Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

¹³Siis kuningas ütles teenijatele: 'Siduge tema jalad ja käed ning visake ta välja pimedusse!' Seal on ulgumine ja hammaste kiristamine.

¹⁴For many are called, but few are chosen.

¹⁴Sest paljud on kutsutud, aga vähesed valitud.'

¹⁵Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.

¹⁵Siis variserid läksid ja võtsid nõuks Jeesus ta sõnadest lõksu püüda.

¹⁶And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

¹⁶Ja nad läkitasid tema juurde oma jüngreid koos heroodeslastega ütlema: 'Õpetaja, me teame, et sa oled tõemeelne ja õpetad Jumala teed tões ja sa ei hooli kellestki, sest sa ei vaata inimese isikule.

¹⁷Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

¹⁷Ütle nüüd meile, mis sa arvad, kas keisrile peab andma pearaha või ei?'

¹⁸But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

¹⁸Aga Jeesus ütles nende kurjust ära tundes: 'Mis te mind kiusate, silmakirjatsejad?

¹⁹Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

¹⁹Näidake mulle maksuraha!' Nemad tõidki ta kätte teenari.

²⁰And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

²⁰Ja ta küsis neilt: 'Kelle pilt ja kiri sellel on?'

²¹They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

²¹Nad ütlesid temale: 'Keisri.' Siis ta ütles neile: 'Andke nüüd keisrile keisri oma tagasi ja Jumalale Jumala oma!'

²²When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

²²Seda kuuldes nad hämmastusid ja lahkusid, jättes ta sinnapaika.

²³The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,

²³Tolsamal päeval astusid Jeesuse juurde saduserid, kes ütlesid, et surnuist ülestõusmist ei ole olemas, ja küsisid temalt:

²⁴Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

²⁴'Õpetaja, Mooses ütles: Kui keegi sureb, ilma et tal oleks lapsi, siis ta vend peab abielluma oma surnud venna naisega ja soetama sugu vennale.

²⁵Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:

²⁵Meie pool oli seitse venda. Esimene võttis naise, kuid suri. Ja et tal ei olnud järglast, siis jättis ta naise oma vennale.

²⁶Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

²⁶Nõndasamuti ka teine ja kolmas kuni seitsmendani.

²⁷And last of all the woman died also.

²⁷Pärast kõiki suri see naine.

²⁸Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.

²⁸Ülestõusmisel nüüd: kelle naine nendest seitsmest peab ta olema? Ta on ju olnud nende kõikide oma.'

²⁹Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

²⁹Jeesus aga vastas neile: 'Te eksite, kuna ei tunne pühi kirju ega Jumala väge.

³⁰For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

³⁰Ülestõusmisel ju ei võeta naisi ega minda mehele, vaid ollakse nagu inglid taevas.

³¹But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

³¹Aga surnute ülestõusmisest - kas te ei ole lugenud, mida Jumal teile on rääkinud:

³²I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

³²Mina olen Aabrahami Jumal ja Iisaki Jumal ja Jaakobi Jumal. Jumal ei ole surnute, vaid elavate Jumal.'

³³And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

³³Seda kuuldes rahvas hämmastus tema õpetusest.

³⁴But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.

³⁴Aga kui variserid said kuulda, et Jeesus oli sulgenud saduseride suu, kogunesid nad sinna.

³⁵Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

³⁵Ja üks seadusetundja nende seast küsis teda kiusates:

³⁶Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

³⁶'Õpetaja, milline käsk Seaduses on suurim?'

³⁷Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

³⁷Jeesus vastas talle: 'Armasta Issandat, oma Jumalat, kogu oma südamega ja kogu oma hingega ja kogu oma mõistusega!

³⁸This is the first and great commandment.

³⁸See ongi suurim ja esimene käsk.

³⁹And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

³⁹Teine on selle sarnane: Armasta oma ligimest nagu iseennast!

⁴⁰On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

⁴⁰Neis kahes käsus on koos kogu Seadus ja Prohvetid.'

⁴¹While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

⁴¹Aga kui variserid olid koos, küsis Jeesus neilt:

⁴²Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.

⁴²'Mida te arvate Messia kohta: kelle poeg ta on?' Nad ütlesid talle: 'Taaveti.'

⁴³He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,

⁴³Tema lausus neile: 'Kuidas siis Taavet vaimus hüüab teda Issandaks:

⁴⁴The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

⁴⁴Issand ütles mu Issandale: Istu mu paremale käele, kuni ma panen su vaenlased sinu jalge alla!?

⁴⁵If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

⁴⁵Kui nüüd Taavet hüüab teda Issandaks, kuidas ta siis on tema poeg?'

⁴⁶And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

⁴⁶Ja ükski ei suutnud talle vastata sõnagi ja keegi ei julgenud sellest päevast peale teda enam küsitleda.
