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;

¹Andek dies, kana O Jesus sas ande tampla sicharelas le narodos ai delas duma e lashi viasta, le bare rasha ai le Gramnoturia, ai le mai phure avile.

²and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

²Ai phende leske, "Phen amenge, katar si tu kadia putiera te keres so keres? Vai kon si kodo kai dia tu kadia putiera?"

³And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:

³O Jesus phendia lenge, "Vi me akana phushav tumendar ek divano,

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

⁴o bolimos le Iovanosko katar sas, anda rhaio vai manushendar?"

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

⁵Ai dinepe duma mashkar pende, phenenas, "Te phenasa 'Anda rhaio,' wo phenela, ' Sostar chi pachaian les?'

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

⁶Numa te phenasa, 'Katar le manush,' sa o narodo shudela bax pe amende; ke o narodo zhanelas ke o Iovano sas ek profeto.

⁷And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was].

⁷No won phende, 'Chi zhanas katar avilo.'"

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

⁸Ai O Jesus phendia lenge, "Chi me chi phenav tumenge katar che putiera kerav so kerav."

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.

⁹Porme O Jesus phendia le narodoske ek paramichi: "Iek manush thodia te bariol rez, ai meklia les kaver manush te len sama, ai gelotar andek dur them but vriama.

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.

¹⁰Kana avili e vriama te chidelpe o struguro, wo tradia ieke sluga karing le kolaver manush te lel lendar so trobul te avel lesko. Numa le manush kai chidenas o struguro marde les, ai trade les palpale bi kanchesko.

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

¹¹Kodo manush mai tradia ieka sluga; ai pale marde les, chinuisarde les, ai trade les bi kanchesko.

¹²And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.

¹²Numa kodo manush mai tradia mai ieka sluga, (o trito) ai won dukhade les, ai gonisarde les.

¹³And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him.

¹³Antunchi o gazda la rezako phendia, "So te kerav? Tradav murhe shaves kai si mange drago; amborim lena pe pala leste!"

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.

¹⁴Numa kana le manush kai chidenas o struguro dikhle les, denas pe duma mashkar pende, "Kodo si o shav le gazdasko, mudaras les, ai e phuv ashela amenge!"

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

¹⁵Ai gonisarde les dur katar e rez, ai mudarde les. "Akana, so kerel lenge o gazda la rezako?" "Avela ai mudarela kodole manushen, ai dela e rez kal kolaver."

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

¹⁶Kana o narodo ashundia kodia, phendia, "Kasavatar diela nashti kerdiol!"

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?

¹⁷O Jesus dikhlia pe lende, ai phendia, "So znachil kado ramomos? O bax kai shude kukula, saikfielo bax sas o bax kai trobulsarde."

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

¹⁸Kon godi perela pe kodo bax avela phaglo; ai kuko kai perela o bax wo avela lichardo."

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.

¹⁹Le bare rasha ai le Gramnoturia dinepe duma sar te astaren les; ai won daranas anda le manushenge, ke won haliarde ke O Jesus lenge phendia kodia paramichi.

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.

²⁰Ai won lenas sama les, ai trade manushen te dikhen so kerel, kerenaspe sar chache manush, saxke te astaren les ande lesko divano, saxke te den les ka guvernori (kai si les e putiera te kerel sa wo mangel).

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:

²¹Kodala manush phushle les, "Gazda, zhanas so phenes ai sichares si vorta, ai zhanas ke chi respektis iek manush mai but sar kaver, numa sichares o zakono le Devlesko chachimasa.

²²Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

²²Phen amenge, si amenge slobodo vai nai te pochinas taksa ka Caesar?"

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

²³Numa O Jesus haliardia lenge nasul ginduria, ai phendia lenge, "Sostar tume zumaven ma?"

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

²⁴Sikaven mange ek kotor rupone, "Kaske fatsa ai ramomos si kado?"

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

²⁵Won phende, "O Caesar." O Jesus phendia lenge, "Den ka Caesar so si lesko, ai den ka Del so si le Devlesko."

²⁶And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

²⁶Nashti thode leske dosh pe kado divano angla narodo; numa chudisaile andal atweto kai dia le, ai chi mai phende kanch.

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

²⁷Uni Saduseanuria avile ka Jesus, ke mothonas ke nai traio pala e martia; ai phushle,

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"Gazda, o Moses ramosardia o zakono amenge; "Te merela vari kasko phral, ai si les ek rhomni, ai nas les glate, lesko phral ansurilape leska rhomniasa, ai vazdel familia leske phraleske."

²⁹There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;

²⁹Sas efta phral: o pervo ansurisailo, ai mulo bi te avel les glate, meklia rhomnia peske phraleske.

³⁰and the second:

³⁰Sakadia o duito,

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

³¹ai o trito, sakadia kerdilia vi le efta phralensa. Mule vi te aven le glate.

³²Afterward the woman also died.

³²Akana vi e zhuvli muli.

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

³³Kana avela te zhuvindin le mule te zhan ando rhaio, saveski andal efta phral avela e rhomni ke savorhenge sas?"

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

³⁴O Jesus phendia lenge, "Le mursh ai le zhuvlia la lumiake akana ansurinpe;

³⁵but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

³⁵Numa le mursh ai le zhuvlia kai sai zhuvindin andai martia ka traio ai te traiin ande kolaver lumia chi mai ansurinpe.

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

³⁶Nashti mai meren; ke won avena sar le angeluria ai chi meren, ai avena shaves le Devleske, ke zhuvindisar le andai martia.

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.

³⁷Ai o Moses sikadia kai le mule zhuvindinas ka traio. Ande Vorba le Devleski kai mothol pai krenzha kai zhalas e iag, kana wo akharel les "O Del le Abrahamosko, O Del le Isakosko, ai O Del le Iakovosko."

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

³⁸Ke wo nai O Del le mulengo, numa le zhuvindengo; savorhe traiin leske."

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

³⁹Uni andal Gramnoturia phende, "Gazda, mishto dia duma."

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

⁴⁰Ai chi mai tromanas te mai phushen les kanch.

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

⁴¹O Jesus phendia lenge, "Sar mothon ke O Kristo si Shav le Davidosko?

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

⁴²Ke o David phendia ande Vorba le Devleski (Psalms), "O Del phendia murhe Devleske: Besh tele pa murhi chachi rik,

⁴³Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.

⁴³zhi kai kerav anda che duzhmaia iek than te hodinis che punrhe pa lende."

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

⁴⁴O David akhardia les Devla, sar sai avel vo lesko shav?"

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

⁴⁵Sar sa o narodo ashunelas leste, O Jesus phendia peske disiplonge.

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;

⁴⁶Arakhen tume katar le Gramnoturia, kai si lenge drago te phiravenpe andel rhochi lunzhe, ai den le manush lasho dies pel droma, ai roden la mai lashe skamina ande synagogue, ai drago lenge te beshen ka shero la skafidiako kal pachiva.

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

⁴⁷Ke tume xan le phivliange khera, ai rhugin tume lungo rhugimos te miazol ke lashe san: anda kodia si te perel mai phari kris pe tumende."
