¹Eta guertha cedin egun hetataric batez, harc populua iracasten çuela templean, eta euangelizatzen cegoela, ethor baitzitecen Sacrificadore principalac eta Scribác, Ancianoequin,

¹And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he is teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came upon [him],

²Eta erran cieçoten, Erraguc cer authoritatez gauça horiac eguiten dituán, edo nor den hiri authoritate hori eman drauana.

²and spake unto him, saying, `Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who is he that gave to thee this authority?`

³Eta ihardesten çuela Iesusec erran ciecén, Interrogaturen çaituztet nic-ere çuec gauça batez: erradaçue bada niri,

³And he answering said unto them, `I will question you — I also — one thing, and tell me:

⁴Ioannesen baptismoa cerutic cen, ala guiçonetaric?

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

⁵Eta hec baciharducaten berén artean, cioitela, Baldin erran badeçagu, Cerutic: erranen du, Cergatic beraz eztuçue sinhetsi hura?

⁵And they reasoned with themselves, saying — `If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

⁶Eta baldin badarragu, Guiçonetaric: populu guciac lapidaturen gaitu: ecen segur daducate, Ioannes Propheta cela.

⁶and if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.`

⁷Ihardets ceçaten bada, etzaquitela nondic cen.

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

⁸Orduan Iesusec erran ciecén, Nic-ere eztrauçuet erranen cer authoritatez gauça hauc eguiten ditudan.

⁸and Jesus said to them, `Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things.`

⁹Orduán has cedin populuari comparatione hunen erraiten, Guiçon batec landa ceçan mahastibat, eta aloca ciecén hura laborariey, eta dembora lucez campoan egon cedin.

⁹And he began to speak unto the people this simile: `A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time,

¹⁰Eta sasoinean igor ceçan laborari hetara cerbitzaribat, mahastico fructutic lemotençat: baina hec hura cehaturic igor ceçaten hutsic.

¹⁰and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send [him] away empty.

¹¹Eta continua ceçan berce cerbitzari baten igortera: baina hec haur-ere cehaturic eta gaizqui tractaturic igor ceçaten hutsic.

¹¹`And he added to send another servant, and they that one also having beaten and dishonoured, did send away empty;

¹²Eta continua ceçan herenaren igortera: baina hec haur-ere çaurthuric egotz ceçaten campora.

¹²and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they did cast out.

¹³Orduan erran ceçan mahasti iabeac, Cer eguinen dut? igorriren dut neure seme maitea: aguian haur dacussatenean ohoraturen duté:

¹³`And the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son — the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will do reverence;

¹⁴Baina hura ikussiric laborariéc propos eduqui ceçaten, cioitela, Haur da primua: çatozte, hil deçagun haur, heretagea gure dençat.

¹⁴and having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours;

¹⁵Eta egotziric hura mahastitic campora, hil ceçaten. Cer bada eguinen draue hæy mahasti iabeac?

¹⁵and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed [him]; what, then, shall the owner of the vineyard do to them?

¹⁶Ethorriren da eta deseguinen ditu laborari hec, eta emanen draue mahastia berce batzuey. Eta haur ençun çutenean erran ceçaten, Hala guertha eztadila.

¹⁶He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.` And having heard, they said, `Let it not be!`

¹⁷Harc orduan hetarat behaturic dio, Cer da bada scribatua den hura, Edificaçaléc arbuyatu duten harria cantoin buru eguin içan da?

¹⁷and he, having looked upon them, said, `What, then, is this that hath been written: A stone that the builders rejected — this became head of a corner?

¹⁸Harri haren gainera eroriren den gucia, çathicaturen da: eta noren gainera eroriren baita, hura du chehecaturen.

¹⁸every one who hath fallen on that stone shall be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.`

¹⁹Orduan aiher ciraden Sacrificadore principalac eta Scribac haren gainean escuén eçartera ordu hartan berean: baina populuaren beldur citecen: ecen eçagutu vkan çutén hayén contra erran çuela comparatione haur.

¹⁹And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that against them he spake this simile.

²⁰Eta hura gogoatzen çutela, igor citzaten espiác iusto ciradela irudi eguiten çutela, hura hitzean hatzaman leçatençat, Gobernadorearen seignorián eta botherean eçar leçatençat.

²⁰And, having watched [him], they sent forth liers in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor,

²¹Eta hec interroga ceçaten hura, cioitela, Magistruá, baceaquiagu vngui erraiten eta iracasten duala, eta ezagoela personara behá, baina Iaincoaren bidea eguiazqui iracasten duala.

²¹and they questioned him, saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a person, but in truth the way of God dost teach;

²²Bide dugu eman tributic Cesari, ala ez?

²²Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?`

²³Eta adituric hayén fineciá, erran ciecén, Cergatic tentatzen nauçue?

²³And he, having perceived their craftiness, said unto them, `Why me do ye tempt?

²⁴Eracustaçue dinerobat: norenac ditu imagina eta scribua? Eta ihardesten çutela erran ceçaten, Cesarenac.

²⁴shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and superscription?` and they answering said, `Of Caesar:`

²⁵Orduan erran ciecén, Renda ietzoçue beraz Cesaren diradenac, Cesari: eta Iaincoaren diradenac, Iaincoari.

²⁵and he said to them, `Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;`

²⁶Eta ecin haren hitza reprehenditu vkan duté populuaren aitzinean: eta miraz iarriric haren repostaren gainean ichil citecen.

²⁶and they were not able to take hold on his saying before the people, and having wondered at his answer, they were silent.

²⁷Orduan hurbil cequizquion Sadduceu batzu (ceinéc vkatzen baituté resurrectionea) eta interroga ceçaten.

²⁷And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a rising again, having come near, questioned him,

²⁸Cioitela, Magistruá, Moysesec scribatu diraucuc, Baldin cembeiten anayea hil badadi emazte duelaric, eta haourric gabe hil badadi, har deçan haren anayeac haren emaztea, eta eguin dieçón leinu bere anayeri.

²⁸saying, `Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one`s brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless — that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his brother.

²⁹Bada çazpi anaye içan dituc, eta hetaric lehena emazte harturic hil içan duc, haourric gabe.

²⁹`There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,

³⁰Eta har ciecán hura bigarrenac, hura-ere hil cidian haourric gabe.

³⁰and the second took the wife, and he died childless,

³¹Guero herenac har cieçán hura, eta halaber çazpiec-ere: eta etzeçatean haourric vtzi, eta hil cituán.

³¹and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven — they left not children, and they died;

³²Eta gucién ondoan hil ciedián emaztea-ere.

³²and last of all died also the woman:

³³Resurrectionean bada hetaric ceinen emazte içanen da? ecen çazpiéc vkan dié hura emazte

³³in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she become wife? — for the seven had her as wife.`

³⁴Orduan ihardesten çuela erran ciecén Iesusec, Mundu hunetaco haourréc hartzen duté ezconçaz eta hartzen dirade.

³⁴And Jesus answering said to them, `The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage,

³⁵Baina secula haren, eta hiletaco resurrectionaren vkaiteco digne eridenen diradenéc, eztuté harturen ezconçaz, ez eztirade harturen.

³⁵but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage;

³⁶Ecen guehiagoric ecin hil daitezque: ecen Aingueruèn pare dirade: eta Iaincoaren seme dirade, resurrectionezco seme diradenaz gueroz.

³⁶for neither are they able to die any more — for they are like messengers — and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again.

³⁷Eta hilac resuscitatzen diradela, Moysesec-ere eracutsi vkan du berro aldean, dioenean Iauna dela Abrahamen Iaincoa, eta Isaac-en Iaincoa, eta Iacob-en Iaincoa.

³⁷`And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

³⁸Bada Iaincoa ezta hilena, baina viciena: ecen guciac hari vici çaizquio.

³⁸and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.`

³⁹Eta ihardesten çutela Scribetaric batzuc erran ceçaten, Magistruá, vngui erran duc.

³⁹And certain of the scribes answering said, `Teacher, thou didst say well;`

⁴⁰Eta guehiagoric etziraden ausartzen deusez haren interrogatzera.

⁴⁰and no more durst they question him anything.

⁴¹Eta erran ciecén, Nola erraiten duté Christ Dauid-en seme dela?

⁴¹And he said unto them, `How do they say the Christ to be son of David,

⁴²Ikussiric ecen Dauid-ec berac dioela Psalmuén liburuän, Erran drauca Iaunac ene Iaunari, Iar adi ene escuinean,

⁴²and David himself saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

⁴³Eçar ditzaquedano hiré etsayac hire oinén scabella.

⁴³till I shall make thine enemies thy footstool;

⁴⁴Dauid-ec beraz Iaun hura deitzen du, eta nola da haren semé?

⁴⁴David, then, doth call him lord, and how is he his son?`

⁴⁵Eta populu guciac ençuten çuela, erran ciecén bere discipuluey.

⁴⁵And, all the people hearing, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁶Beguirauçue Scriba arropa lucequin ebili nahi diradenetaric, eta on dariztenetaric salutationey merkatuetan, eta lehen cadirey synagoguetan, eta lehen placey banquetetan.

⁴⁶`Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are loving salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the suppers,

⁴⁷Ceinéc iresten baitituzte ema alhargunén etcheac, are luçaqui othoitz eguin irudiz: hec recebituren duté damnatione handiagoa.

⁴⁷who devour the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant judgment.`
