¹And he began to speak to them in similes: `A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and digged an under-winevat, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad;

¹Ja Jeesus hakkas neile mõistu rääkima: 'Üks inimene istutas viinamäe ja piiras aiaga ja õõnestas kaljusse surutõrre ja ehitas valvetorni. Siis ta andis selle rentnike kätte ning reisis võõrsile.

²and he sent unto the husbandmen at the due time a servant, that from the husbandmen he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard,

²Ja parajal ajal läkitas ta sulase rentnike juurde, et see võtaks rentnike käest vastu andami viinamäe viljast.

³and they, having taken him, did severely beat [him], and did send him away empty.

³Rentnikud võtsid aga sulase kinni, peksid teda ja saatsid minema tühjade kätega.

⁴`And again he sent unto them another servant, and at that one having cast stones, they wounded [him] in the head, and sent away — dishonoured.

⁴Ja taas läkitas ta nende juurde teise sulase. Sellele nad lõid pähe ja teotasid teda.

⁵`And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing.

⁵Ja ta läkitas veel teise ja tolle nad tapsid, ja paljusid teisi; mõnda nad peksid, mõne aga tapsid.

⁶`Having yet therefore one son — his beloved — he sent also him unto them last, saying — They will reverence my son;

⁶Üks oli tal veel, tema armas poeg. Lõpuks ta läkitas nende juurde poja, mõeldes: 'Ehk nad häbenevad mu poega!?'

⁷and those husbandmen said among themselves — This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and ours shall be the inheritance;

⁷Need rentnikud aga rääkisid omavahel: 'Tema ongi see pärija. Läki, tapame ta ära, ja pärand saab meile!'

⁸and having taken him, they did kill, and cast [him] forth without the vineyard.

⁸Ja nad võtsid ta kinni, tapsid ta ära ja viskasid viinamäelt välja.

⁹`What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.

⁹Mida teeb viinamäe isand? Ta tuleb ja hukkab need rentnikud ja annab viinamäe teiste kätte.

¹⁰And this Writing did ye not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it did become the head of a corner:

¹⁰Kas te pole lugenud seda kirjakohta: Kivi, mille ehitajad tunnistasid kõlbmatuks - seesama on saanud nurgakiviks!?

¹¹from the Lord was this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.`

¹¹See tuli Issandalt ja on imeasi meie silmis.'

¹²And they were seeking to lay hold on him, and they feared the multitude, for they knew that against them he spake the simile, and having left him, they went away;

¹²Ja nad otsisid võimalust teda kinni võtta, ent kartsid rahvahulka. Nad ju mõistsid, et Jeesus oli selle tähendamissõna rääkinud nende kohta. Ja nad läksid ära, jättes ta sinnapaika.

¹³and they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may ensnare him in discourse,

¹³Ja Jeesuse juurde läkitati mõned variserid ja Heroodese mehed, et teda mõnest sõnast kinni püüda.

¹⁴and they having come, say to him, `Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men, but in truth the way of God dost teach; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? may we give, or may we not give?`

¹⁴Ja need tulid ning ütlesid talle: 'Õpetaja, me teame, et sa oled tõemeelne ega hooli kellestki, sest sa ei vaata inimese isikule, vaid õpetad Jumala teed tõepäraselt. Kas keisrile peab andma pearaha või ei? Kas anname või ei anna?'

¹⁵And he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, `Why me do ye tempt? bring me a denary, that I may see;`

¹⁵Aga Jeesus, teades nende silmakirjalikkust, ütles neile: 'Miks te mind kiusate? Tooge mulle teenar näha!'

¹⁶and they brought, and he saith to them, `Whose [is] this image, and the inscription?` and they said to him, `Caesar`s;`

¹⁶Nemad tõidki, ja ta ütles neile: 'Kelle pilt ja kiri sellel on?' Nad ütlesid talle: 'Keisri.'

¹⁷and Jesus answering said to them, `Give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;` and they did wonder at him.

¹⁷Aga Jeesus ütles neile: 'Keisri oma andke keisrile tagasi ja Jumala oma Jumalale!' Ja nad imetlesid teda.

¹⁸And the Sadducees come unto him, who say there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,

¹⁸Ja Jeesuse juurde astusid saduserid, kes ütlesid, et surnuist ülestõusmist ei ole olemas, ja küsisid temalt:

¹⁹`Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if any one`s brother may die, and may leave a wife, and may leave no children, that his brother may take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.

¹⁹'Õpetaja, Mooses on meile kirjutanud, et kui kellegi vend sureb ja jätab naise ega jäta järele last, et ta vend peab võtma oma surnud venna naise ja soetama järglase vennale.

²⁰`There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed;

²⁰Oli seitse venda. Ja esimene võttis naise ja surres ei jätnud järglast järele.

²¹and the second took her, and died, neither left he seed, and the third in like manner,

²¹Ja teine võttis tema ja suri järglast jätmata, ja kolmas nõndasamuti.

²²and the seven took her, and left no seed, last of all died also the woman;

²²Ja need seitse ei jätnud järele järglast. Viimasena kõigist suri ka naine.

²³in the rising again, then, whenever they may rise, of which of them shall she be wife — for the seven had her as wife?`

²³Ülestõusmisel nüüd, kui nad üles tõusevad - kelle naine nende seast ta peab olema? Ta on ju olnud naiseks neile seitsmele.'

²⁴And Jesus answering said to them, `Do ye not because of this go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God?

²⁴Jeesus lausus neile: 'Kas te mitte ei eksi, sellepärast et te ei tunne pühi kirju ega Jumala väge?

²⁵for when they may rise out of the dead, they neither marry nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers who are in the heavens.

²⁵Kui surnud üles tõusevad, siis nad ju ei võta naisi ega lähe mehele, vaid on nagu inglid taevas.

²⁶`And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the Book of Moses (at The Bush), how God spake to him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

²⁶Surnute kohta aga, et nad üles äratatakse - kas te ei ole lugenud Moosese raamatust kibuvitsapõõsa loost, kuidas Jumal ütles Moosesele: 'Mina olen Aabrahami Jumal ja Iisaki Jumal ja Jaakobi Jumal'?

²⁷he is not the God of dead men, but a God of living men; ye then go greatly astray.`

²⁷Tema ei ole surnute, vaid elavate Jumal. Te eksite rängalt!'

²⁸And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, questioned him, `Which is the first command of all?`

²⁸Ja üks juurdeastunud kirjatundjaist, kes oli kuulnud nende vaidlemist ja teadis, et Jeesus oli neile hästi vastanud, küsis temalt: 'Milline on kõige esimene käsk?'

²⁹and Jesus answered him — `The first of all the commands [is], Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one;

²⁹Jeesus vastas: 'Esimene on: Kuule, Iisrael, Issand, meie Jumal, on ainus Issand,

³⁰and thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of thy soul, and out of all thine understanding, and out of all thy strength — this [is] the first command;

³⁰ja armasta Issandat, oma Jumalat, kogu oma südamega ja kogu oma hingega ja kogu oma mõistusega ja kogu oma jõuga!

³¹and the second [is] like [it], this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; — greater than these there is no other command.`

³¹Teine on see: Armasta oma ligimest nagu iseennast! Mingit muud neist suuremat käsku ei ole.'

³²And the scribe said to him, `Well, Teacher, in truth thou hast spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He;

³²Ja kirjatundja ütles talle: 'Hästi, Õpetaja, sa ütlesid tõtt, et tema on Ainus ja ei ole teist peale tema;

³³and to love Him out of all the heart, and out of all the understanding, and out of all the soul, and out of all the strength, and to love one`s neighbor as one`s self, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.`

³³ja armastada teda kogu südamega ja kogu mõistusega ja kogu jõuga ning armastada ligimest nagu iseennast on palju rohkem kui kõik põletusohvrid ja muud ohvrid.'

³⁴And Jesus, having seen him that he answered with understanding, said to him, `Thou art not far from the reign of God;` and no one any more durst question him.

³⁴Ja Jeesus, nähes, et kirjatundja vastas arukalt, ütles talle: 'Sa ei ole kaugel Jumala riigist.' Ja keegi ei julgenud teda enam küsitleda.

³⁵And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, `How say the scribes that the Christ is son of David?

³⁵Ja Jeesus kõneles edasi ning õpetas pühakojas: 'Kuidas kirjatundjad ütlevad, et Messias on Taaveti poeg?

³⁶for David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on My right hand, till I place thine enemies — thy footstool;

³⁶Taavet ise ütles Pühas Vaimus: Issand ütles mu Issandale: Istu mu paremale käele, kuni ma panen su vaenlased sinu jalge alla.

³⁷therefore David himself saith of him Lord, and whence is he his son?` And the great multitude were hearing him gladly,

³⁷Taavet ise nimetab teda Issandaks - kuidas siis tema saab olla ta poeg?'

³⁸and he was saying to them in his teaching, `Beware of the scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places,

³⁸Ja suur rahvahulk kuulas Jeesust meeleldi.Ja ta ütles oma õpetuses: 'Hoiduge kirjatundjate eest, kes tahavad kõndida pikkades kuubedes ja soovivad teretamisi turgudel

³⁹and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in suppers,

³⁹ja esimesi istmeid sünagoogides ja esimesi kohti võõruspidudel,

⁴⁰who are devouring the widows` houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these shall receive more abundant judgment.`

⁴⁰kes neelavad alla lesknaiste majad ja silmakirjaks venitavad palvetused pikaks. Need saavad seda rängema kohtuotsuse.'

⁴¹And Jesus having sat down over-against the treasury, was beholding how the multitude do put brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much,

⁴¹Ja istudes aardekirstu vastas, vaatas Jeesus, kuidas rahvahulk paneb raha aardekirstu. Ja paljud rikkad panid palju.

⁴²and having come, a poor widow did put in two mites, which are a farthing.

⁴²Ja üks vaene lesknaine tuli ja pani kaks leptonit, see on ühe veeringu.

⁴³And having called near his disciples, he saith to them, `Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath put in more than all those putting into the treasury;

⁴³Ja kutsudes oma jüngrid enese juurde, ütles Jeesus neile: 'Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, see vaene lesknaine pani rohkem kui kõik, kes panevad aardekirstu,

⁴⁴for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, all that she had put in — all her living.`

⁴⁴sest nemad panid oma küllusest, tema pani aga kehvusest kõik, mis tal oli, kogu oma elatise.'
