¹And Jesus answering, again spake to them in similes, saying,

¹Ja Jeesus hakkas taas neile mõistu kõnelema:

²`The reign of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made marriage-feasts for his son,

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

³and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come.

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

⁴`Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things [are] ready, come ye to the marriage-feasts;

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

⁵and they, having disregarded [it], went away, the one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise;

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

⁶and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, did insult and slay [them].

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

⁷`And the king having heard, was wroth, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire;

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

⁸then saith he to his servants, The marriage-feast indeed is ready, and those called were not worthy,

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

⁹be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as ye may find, call ye to the marriage-feasts.

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

¹⁰`And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, did gather all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining.

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

¹¹`And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw there a man not clothed with clothing of the marriage-feast,

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

¹²and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was speechless.

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

¹³`Then said the king to the ministrants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him up and cast forth to the outer darkness, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the 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, and few chosen.`

¹⁴Sest paljud on kutsutud, aga vähesed valitud.'

¹⁵Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words,

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

¹⁶and they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and the way of God in truth thou dost teach, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face 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 dost thou think? is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?`

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

¹⁸And Jesus having known their wickedness, said, `Why me do ye tempt, hypocrites?

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

¹⁹show me the tribute-coin?` and they brought to him a denary;

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

²⁰and he saith to them, `Whose [is] this image and the inscription?`

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

²¹they say to him, `Caesar`s;` then saith he to them, `Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;`

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

²²and having heard they wondered, and having left him they went away.

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

²³In that day there came near to him Sadducees, who are saying there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,

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

²⁴`Teacher, Moses said, If any one may die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and shall raise up seed to 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.

²⁵`And there were with us seven brothers, and the first having married did die, and not having seed, he left his wife to his brother;

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

²⁶in like manner also the second, and the third, unto the seventh,

²⁶Nõndasamuti ka teine ja kolmas kuni seitsmendani.

²⁷and last of all died also the woman;

²⁷Pärast kõiki suri see naine.

²⁸therefore in the rising again, of which of the seven shall she be wife — for all had her?`

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

²⁹And Jesus answering said to them, `Ye go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God;

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

³⁰for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven.

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

³¹`And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to 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 a God of dead men, but of living.`

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

³³And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching;

³³Seda kuuldes rahvas hämmastus tema õpetusest.

³⁴and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him;

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

³⁵and one of them, a lawyer, did question, tempting him, and saying,

³⁵Ja üks seadusetundja nende seast küsis teda kiusates:

³⁶`Teacher, which [is] the great command in the Law?`

³⁶'Õpetaja, milline käsk Seaduses on suurim?'

³⁷And Jesus said to him, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding —

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

³⁸this is a first and great command;

³⁸See ongi suurim ja esimene käsk.

³⁹and the second [is] like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;

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

⁴⁰on these — the two commands — all the law and the prophets do hang.`

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

⁴¹And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did question them,

⁴¹Aga kui variserid olid koos, küsis Jeesus neilt:

⁴²saying, `What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?` They say to him, `Of David.`

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

⁴³He saith to them, `How then doth David in the Spirit call him lord, saying,

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

⁴⁴The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?

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

⁴⁵If then David doth call him lord, how is he his son?`

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

⁴⁶And no one was able to answer him a word, nor durst any from that day question him any more.

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