¹And he began to speak unto them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a pit for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.

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 at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard.

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

³And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

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

⁴And again he sent unto them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shamefully.

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

⁵And he sent another; and him they killed: and many others; beating some, and killing some.

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

⁶He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, 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!?'

⁷But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.

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

⁸And they took him, and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.

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

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

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

¹⁰Have ye not read even this scripture: The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;

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

¹¹This was from the Lord, And it is marvellous in our eyes?

¹¹See tuli Issandalt ja on imeasi meie silmis.'

¹²And they sought to lay hold on him; and they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spake the parable against them: and they left him, and 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 might catch him in talk.

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

¹⁴And when they were come, they say unto him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one; for thou regardest not the person of men, but of a truth teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

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?'

¹⁵Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why make ye trial of me? bring me a denarius, that I may see it.

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

¹⁶And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

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

¹⁷And Jesus said unto them, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's. And they marvelled greatly at him.

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

¹⁸And there come unto him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

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

¹⁹Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave a wife behind him, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto 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.

²⁰There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed;

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

²¹and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him; and the third likewise:

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

²²and the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.

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

²³In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

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

²⁴Jesus said unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scriptures, 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 shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as angels in heaven.

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

²⁶But as touching the dead, that they are raised; have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the place concerning] the Bush, how God spake unto 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 the dead, but of the living: ye do greatly err.

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

²⁸And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first 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?'

²⁹Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord 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 with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.

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

³¹The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

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

³²And the scribe said unto him, Of a truth, Teacher, thou hast well said that he is one; 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 with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is much more than all whole burnt-offerings and 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 when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

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

³⁵And Jesus answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Christ is the son of David?

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

³⁶David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

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

³⁷David himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

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

³⁸And in his teaching he said, Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces,

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

³⁹and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts:

³⁹ja esimesi istmeid sünagoogides ja esimesi kohti võõruspidudel,

⁴⁰they that devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation.

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

⁴¹And he sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.

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

⁴²And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.

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

⁴³And he called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they that are casting 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 they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.

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