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,

¹Rala-na ha'eo Yesus metudui' pai' mparata Kareba Lompe' hi wori' tauna hi Tomi Alata'ala. Muu-mule' rata-ramo imam pangkeni hante guru agama pai' pangkeni to Yahudi ntani' -na. Ra'uli' mpo'uli' -ki Yesus:

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

²"Uli' -kakai pe' ngkaiapa huraa-nu mpobabehi hawe'ea tetu hi Tomi Alata'ala! Hema to mpowai' -ko kuasa tetu-e?"

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

³Na'uli' Yesus: "Aku', ria wo'o-kuwo pompekunea' -ku hi koi'.

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

⁴Uli' -ka pe', ngkaiapa kuasa-na Yohanes Topeniu' mponiu' tauna? Ngkai Alata'ala-di, ba ngkai manusia' -di?"

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

⁵Momepololitai-ramo pangkeni to Yahudi toera, ra'uli': "Beiwa-tale' mpotompoi' -ie? Ane ta'uli' ngkai Alata'ala kuasa-na, na'uli' mpai': `Ane wae, napa pai' uma-i nipangala'?'

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

⁶Hiaa' ane ta'uli' ngkai manusia' -wadi kuasa-na, rawatuhi-ta mpai' ntodea toera lau, apa' hawe'ea-ra mpo'uli' Yohanes hadua nabi."

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

⁷Toe pai' ratompoi': "Uma ki'incai kangkaiapa kuasa-na."

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

⁸Toe pai' na'uli' Yesus mpo'uli' -raka: "Ane wae, uma wo'o-kuwo ku'uli' -kokoi kangkaiapa kuasa-ku mpobabehi toe lau!"

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.

⁹Oti toe, Yesus mpololitai ntodea, mpo'uli' -raka lolita rapa' tohe'i: "Ria tau hadua mpohu'ai bonea-na hante anggur, oti toe napewai' bonea-na rapobago hi ba hangkuja dua tauna, pai' hilou-imi hi ngata to molaa, pai' mahae-i tida hi ria.

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.

¹⁰Rata-mi tempo mpohopu' wua' anggur, napahawa' hadua batua-na hilou mperapi' bagia-na hi tompodoo bonea-na toera. Tapi' tompodoo bonea-na toera mpopao' suro tetu pai' -i rapopalai mara.

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

¹¹Oti toe, pue' bonea toei mpopahawa' tena wo'o-pi hadua batua. Aga rapao' wo'o-i-wadi-hawo, ralibui' pai' rapopalai mara.

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

¹²Oti toe wo'o, nahubui tena batua katolu-na. Aga raserohi wo'o-i-wadi pai' rapetadi hi mali bonea.

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.

¹³"Ngkai ree, na'uli' -mi pue' bonea toei: `Napa-le' to kubabehi-e? Agina ana' -ku to kupe'ahi' moto lau-mi kupahawa' hilou, apa' bate rapengkorui-ile mpai'.'

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.

¹⁴"Ntaa' we'i, karahilo-na tompodoo bonea toera ana' pue' bonea tohe'ei, mohawa' -ramo, ra'uli': `Etu-mi tumai ana' -na! Hi'a mpai' to jadi' pue' bonea tohe'i-e. Kita tapatehi-i bona bonea-na toi kita' -mi pue' -na.'

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

¹⁵Ngkai ree, radii' -imi hilou hi mali bonea pai' -i rapatehi. "Jadi', napa mpai' to nababehi pue' bonea toei hi tauna to mpodoo bonea-na?

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

¹⁶Bate tumai-ile mpopatehi-ra, pai' nawai' bonea-na hi tau ntani' -na." Kara'epe-na ntodea lolita rapa' tohe'e, ra'uli' -mi: "Neo' mpu'u-kona jadi' hewa tetu-e'!"

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?

¹⁷Yesus mponaa-ra pai' na'uli' -raka: "Hiaa' toe-mile batua-na walatu to hi rala Buku Tomoroli' to mpo'uli': `Watu to ratadi topowangu tomi, watu toe lau-mi to jadi' poko parawatu.'

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

¹⁸Hewa kura to monawu' hi watu mopengka, hewa kura to napitihi watu moreja', hewa toe wo'o mpai' tauna to mposapuaka-a."

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.

¹⁹Guru agama pai' imam pangkeni mpo'inca kahira' -na to natoa' Yesus hante lolita rapa' -na toe we'i. Toe pai' ria-mi nono-ra doko' mpohoko' -i hi jaa toe wo'o. Aga uma-ra daho', apa' mpoka'eka' -ra ntodea.

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.

²⁰Jadi' rapali' loga to lompe'. Mpopahawa' -ra tauna hilou mpolelemata-i. Tauna toera, ntani' hewa tauna to monoa' nono-ra, tapi' patuju-ra mpo'opa kasala' lolita-na, bona rapakilu-i hi gubernur.

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:

²¹Karata-ra hi Yesus, ra'uli' -mi to rapahawa' toera: "Guru, ki'inca hawe'ea lolita-nu pai' tudui' -nu makono omea. Metudui' -ko hante kalonto' -lonto' -na mpo'uli' napa konoa Pue' Ala hi manusia', pai' uma-ko mpelence tauna.

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

²²Jadi', toe pai' kiperapi' bona nu'uli' -kakai Guru: ntuku' atura agama-ta, ba ma'ala moto-ta mpobayari paja' hi Kaisar, ba uma-di?"

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

²³Yesus mpo'inca pepanawu' -ra. Toe pai' na'uli' -raka:

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

²⁴"Popohiloi-a ulu doi hampepa'! Lence hema pai' hanga' hema to hi doi tetu-e?" Ratompoi': "Lence pai' hanga' Kaisar."

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

²⁵Ngkai ree, na'uli' -mi Yesus mpo'uli' -raka: "Ane wae-di, wai' -ki Kaisar napa to kasipato' -na rawai' -ki Kaisar, pai' wai' -ki Alata'ala napa to kasipato' -na rawai' -ki Alata'ala."

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

²⁶Ka'omea-na madagi-ramo bali' Yesus toera. Uma raruai' nau' hanyalaa sala' lolita-na hi nyanyoa ntodea. Konce-ra mpo'epe tompoi' -na, toe pai' ngkalino-ramo.

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

²⁷Ba hangkuja dua tauna to mpotuku' tudui' to Saduki rata hi Yesus. To Saduki toera, pangkeni agama Yahudi to ncapuaka tauna to mate tuwu' nculii' hi eo mpeno. Karata to Saduki toera, ra'uli' -ki Yesus:

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"Guru, nabi Musa mpo'uki' hi rala buku atura hewa toi: ane hadua tomane mate hiaa' uma-ki ria ana' -na, pudupuhe-na kana mpotobine balu-na, bona ria-ki-hawo muli tomate toei.

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

²⁹Jadi', ria pitu ntali ompi', paka' tomane. To ulumua' motobinei, mate-i hante uma ria ana' -na.

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

³⁰Tu'ai-na mpotobine balu-na, aga mate wo'o-i-wadi, ko'ia napoka'alai mo'anai'.

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

³¹Wae oa' -mi to jadi' hi katolu-na duu' -na hi kapitu-na. Mate omea-ra hante uma ria ana' -ra.

³²Last of all the woman died also.

³²Ka'omea-na mate wo'o-imi-hawo tobine toei.

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

³³Jadi', hi eo mpeno, ane tuwu' nculii' mpu'u-di hawe'ea tomate-e, hema-ramo mpai' pue' tobine toei, apa' pitu-ramo mpotobine-i."

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

³⁴Na'uli' Yesus mpo'uli' -raka: "Tauna hi dunia' toi motobinei pai' motomanei.

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 tauna to napotuwu' nculii' Pue' Ala pai' to masipato' mporata bagia hi dunia' to bo'u mpai', uma-rapa-hana motobinei ba motomanei.

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.

³⁶Apa' tuwu' -ra hewa tuwu' mala'eka, uma-rapa mate. Ana' Alata'ala-ramo, apa' napotuwu' nculii' -ramo Alata'ala.

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.

³⁷"Ane katuwu' -ra nculii' tomate-e, nabi Musa moto to mpakanoto katuwu' -ra nculii'. Hi rala jarita julumpu to jela', Musa mpokahangai' Pue' Ala hewa toi: `Alata'ala to napue' Abraham, to napue' Ishak, pai' to napue' Yakub.'

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

³⁸Jadi', ngkai lolita-na nabi Musa toe, monoto-mi ta'inca katuwu' -ra moto Abraham, Ishak pai' Yakub. Apa' bela tauna to mate to mepue' hi Alata'ala, tauna to tuwu' -hana to mpopue' -i. Apa' hi Alata'ala hawe'ea tauna tuwu'."

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

³⁹Oti toe, ba hangkuja dua guru agama mpo'uli' -ki Yesus: "Lompe' lia petompoi' -nu Guru."

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

⁴⁰Ngkai ree, uma-rapa daho' mepekune' ba napa-napa hi Yesus.

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

⁴¹Ngkai ree, mepekune' wo'o-imi-hawo Yesus mpo'uli' -raka guru agama toera: "Beiwa pai' ra'uli' Magau' Topetolo' muli-na Magau' Daud?

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

⁴⁴Hiaa' bo Daud moto-hawo mpokahangai' -i Pue' -na. Hi rala Buku Rona' na'uli': Pue' Ala mpo'uli' -ki Pue' -ku: `Mohura-moko hi mali ngka'ana-ku duu' -na kupopengkoru hawe'ea bali' -nu hi Iko.'

⁴³Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

⁴⁵Bula tauna mpe'epei lolita-na Yesus toe we'i, napololitai ana'guru-na, na'uli':

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

⁴⁶"Pelompehi-koi, neo' -koi mpenau' kehi-ra guru agama. Apa' goe' -ra modao' mpopake' baju to moloe, goe' -ra ane tauna hi wiwi' karajaa motingkua' mpotabe-ra. Goe' -ra rapopohura hi pohuraa karabilaa' hi tomi posampayaa, goe' -ra ane rapopohura-ra hi pohuraa to lompe' hi posusaa'.

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

⁴⁷Mpobagiu-ra tobine tobalu pai' rahagoi tomi-ra. Pai' -ra mpowunii' kadada'a gau' -ra tohe'e hante mosampaya rapomoloe-loe. Huku' -ra motomo lia mpai'."

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;

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