¹Ja see sündis ühel neist päevist, kui Jeesus rahvast pühakojas õpetas ja evangeeliumi kuulutas, et ülempreestrid ja kirjatundjad koos vanematega astusid ta juurde

¹And it came to pass on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and announcing the glad tidings, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up,

²ja küsisid temalt: 'Ütle meile, millise meelevallaga sa neid asju teed või kes on see, kes sulle selle meelevalla on andnud?'

²and spoke to him saying, Tell us by what authority thou doest these things, or who is it who has given thee this authority?

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

³And he answering said to them, *I* also will ask you [one] thing, and tell me:

⁴kas Johannese ristimine oli taevast või inimestest.'

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

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

⁵And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why have ye not believed him?

⁶Kui me aga ütleksime: 'Inimestest', siis kogu rahvas viskab meid kividega surnuks, sest nemad on veendunud, et Johannes oli prohvet.'

⁶but if we should say, Of men, the whole people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

⁷Ja nemad vastasid, et nad ei teadvat, kust see oli.

⁷And they answered, they did not know whence.

⁸Siis Jeesus ütles neile: 'Ega minagi teile ütle, millise meelevallaga ma seda teen.'

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

⁹Jeesus aga hakkas rahvale rääkima seda tähendamissõna: 'Üks inimene istutas viinamäe ja andis selle rentnike kätte ning reisis pikaks ajaks võõrsile.

⁹And he began to speak to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country for a long time.

¹⁰Ja parajal ajal läkitas ta sulase rentnike juurde, et need sellele annaksid viinamäe viljast. Aga rentnikud peksid teda ja saatsid ta minema tühjade kätega.

¹⁰And in the season he sent to the husbandmen a bondman, that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent [him] away empty.

¹¹Ja ta läkitas veel teise sulase. Nemad peksid ja solvasid tedagi ning saatsid ta minema tühjade kätega.

¹¹And again he sent another bondman; but they, having beaten him also, and cast insult upon him, sent [him] away empty.

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

¹²And again he sent a third; and they, having wounded him also, cast [him] out.

¹³Siis mõtles viinamäe isand: 'Mis ma pean tegema? Ma saadan oma armsa poja, võib-olla teda nad häbenevad.'

¹³And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see him they will respect [him].

¹⁴Aga teda nähes arutasid rentnikud omavahel: 'Tema ongi see pärija! Tapame ta ära, et pärand saaks meile!'

¹⁴But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; [come,] let us kill him, that the inheritance may become ours.

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

¹⁵And having cast him forth out of the vineyard, they killed [him]. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?

¹⁶Ta tuleb ja hukkab need rentnikud ja annab viinamäe teiste kätte.' Seda kuuldes nad ütlesid: 'Taevas hoidku selle eest!'

¹⁶He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it they said, May it never be!

¹⁷Tema aga ütles neile otsa vaadates: 'Mida siis tähendab see kirjasõna: Kivi, mille ehitajad tunnistasid kõlbmatuks - seesama on saanud nurgakiviks?

¹⁷But he looking at them said, What then is this that is written, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone?

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

¹⁸Every one falling on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.

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.

¹⁹And the chief priests and the scribes sought the same hour to lay hands on him, and they feared the people; for they knew that he had spoken this parable of them.

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.

²⁰And having watched [him], they sent out suborned persons, pretending to be just men, that they might take hold of him in [his] language, so that they might deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

²¹Ja need küsisid temalt: 'Õpetaja, me teame, et sa räägid ja õpetad õigesti ega otsusta näo järgi, vaid õpetad Jumala teed tõepäraselt.

²¹And they asked him saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest no [man's] person, but teachest with truth the way of God:

²²Kas me peame keisrile andma pearaha või ei?'

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

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

²³But perceiving their deceit he said to them, Why do ye tempt me?

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

²⁴Shew me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? And answering they said, Caesar's.

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

²⁵And he said to them, Pay therefore what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.

²⁶Ja nad ei suutnud teda millestki tema kõnes tabada rahvahulga ees ja tema vastust imetledes jäid nad vait.

²⁶And they were not able to take hold of him in [his] expressions before the people, and, wondering at his answer, they were silent.

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

²⁷And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up [to him],

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.

²⁸demanded of him saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother, who has a wife, die, and he die childless, his brother shall take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.

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

²⁹There were then seven brethren: and the first, having taken a wife, died childless;

³⁰ja teine,

³⁰and the second [took the woman, and *he* died childless];

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

³¹and the third took her: and in like manner also the seven left no children and died;

³²Pärast suri ka naine.

³²and last of all the woman also died.

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

³³In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife?

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

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

³⁵aga kes on väärt arvatud saama tolle ajastu osaliseks ja surnuist üles tõusma, need ei võta naist ega lähe mehele,

³⁵but they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among [the] dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

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

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

³⁷Aga et surnud tõusevad üles, seda osutab ka Mooses kibuvitsapõõsa loos, kui ta nimetab Issandat Aabrahami Jumalaks ja Iisaki Jumalaks ja Jaakobi Jumalaks.

³⁷But that the dead rise, even Moses shewed in [the section of] the bush, when he called [the] Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob;

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

³⁸but he is not God of [the] dead but of [the] living; for all live for him.

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

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

⁴⁰sest nad ei julgenud temalt enam midagi küsida.

⁴⁰For they did not dare any more to ask him anything.

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

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

⁴²Taavet ise ju ütleb Laulude raamatus: Issand ütles mu Issandale: Istu mu paremale käele,

⁴²and David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand

⁴³kuni ma panen su vaenlased su jalgealuseks järiks!

⁴³until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?

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

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

⁴⁵Aga Jeesus ütles kogu rahva kuuldes jüngritele:

⁴⁵And, as all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,

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

⁴⁶Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and who love salutations in the market-places, and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers;

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

⁴⁷who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.
