¹And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes 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 they spake, saying unto him, 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 also will ask you a question; and tell me:

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

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

⁴kas Johannese ristimine oli taevast või inimestest.'

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

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

⁶But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are 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 knew not 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.'

⁹And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another 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 unto the husbandmen a servant, 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 he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled 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 he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.

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

¹³And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence 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 one with another, saying, This is the heir; 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!'

¹⁵And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

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

¹⁶He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto 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!'

¹⁷But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made 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?

¹⁸Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.

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

¹⁹And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake 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, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the 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, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person [of any], but of a truth teachest the way of God:

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 not?

²²Kas me peame keisrile andma pearaha või ei?'

²³But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,

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

²⁴Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar's.

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

²⁵And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's.

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

²⁶And they were not able to take hold of the saying 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.

²⁷And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection;

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

²⁸and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man's brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the 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 childless;

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

³⁰and the second:

³⁰ja teine,

³¹and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.

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

³²Afterward the woman also died.

³²Pärast suri ka naine.

³³In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.

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

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

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

³⁵but they that are accounted worthy to attain to 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,

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

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

³⁷But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in [the place concerning] 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.

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

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

³⁹And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well said.

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

⁴⁰For they durst not any more ask him any question.

⁴⁰sest nad ei julgenud temalt enam midagi küsida.

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

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

⁴²For 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 the footstool of thy feet.

⁴³kuni ma panen su vaenlased su jalgealuseks järiks!

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

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

⁴⁵And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁵Aga Jeesus ütles kogu rahva kuuldes jüngritele:

⁴⁶Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;

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

⁴⁷who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.

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