¹Ja Jeesus hakkas taas neile mõistu kõnelema:

¹And Jesus answering spoke to them again in parables, saying,

²'Taevariik on kuninga sarnane, kes tegi oma pojale pulmad.

²The kingdom of the heavens has become like a king who made a wedding feast for his son,

³Ja ta läkitas oma sulased kutsutuid pulmapeole paluma, aga need ei tahtnud tulla.

³and sent his bondmen to call the persons invited to the wedding feast, and they would not come.

⁴Taas ta läkitas teisi sulaseid: 'Öelge kutsutuile: Vaata, mu söömaaeg on valmis, mu härjad ja nuumveised on tapetud ja kõik on valmis, tulge pulma!'

⁴Again he sent other bondmen, saying, Say to the persons invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fatted beasts are killed, and all things ready; come to the wedding feast.

⁵Aga kutsutud ei hoolinud sellest ja läksid ära, kes oma põllule, kes oma kaubale,

⁵But they made light of it, and went, one to his own land, and another to his commerce.

⁶mõned aga võtsid sulased kinni, teotasid neid ja tapsid nad ära.

⁶And the rest, laying hold of his bondmen, ill-treated and slew [them].

⁷Kuningas vihastas ja saatis oma sõjaväed, hukkas need mõrtsukad ja süütas põlema nende linna.

⁷And [when] the king [heard of it he] was wroth, and having sent his forces, destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

⁸Siis ta ütles oma sulastele: 'Pulmad on küll valmis, aga kutsutud ei olnud seda väärt.

⁸Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy;

⁹Minge nüüd teelahkmetele ja kutsuge pulma, keda te iganes leiate!'

⁹go therefore into the thoroughfares of the highways, and as many as ye shall find invite to the wedding feast.

¹⁰Ja sulased läksid välja teedele ja kogusid kokku kõik, keda leidsid, nii halbu kui häid, ning pulmakoda sai täis pidulisi.

¹⁰And those bondmen went out into the highways, and brought together all as many as they found, both evil and good; and the wedding feast was furnished with guests.

¹¹Aga kui kuningas astus sisse pidulisi vaatama, nägi ta seal inimest, kellel ei olnud pulmarõivast seljas.

¹¹And the king, having gone in to see the guests, beheld there a man not clothed with a wedding garment.

¹²Ja ta ütles talle: 'Sõber, kuidas sina oled tulnud siia ilma pulmarõivata?' Aga see ei saanud sõnagi suust.

¹²And he says to him, [My] friend, how camest thou in here not having on a wedding garment? But he was speechless.

¹³Siis kuningas ütles teenijatele: 'Siduge tema jalad ja käed ning visake ta välja pimedusse!' Seal on ulgumine ja hammaste kiristamine.

¹³Then said the king to the servants, Bind him feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him out into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

¹⁴Sest paljud on kutsutud, aga vähesed valitud.'

¹⁴For many are called ones, but few chosen ones.

¹⁵Siis variserid läksid ja võtsid nõuks Jeesus ta sõnadest lõksu püüda.

¹⁵Then went the Pharisees and held a council how they might ensnare him in speaking.

¹⁶Ja nad läkitasid tema juurde oma jüngreid koos heroodeslastega ütlema: 'Õpetaja, me teame, et sa oled tõemeelne ja õpetad Jumala teed tões ja sa ei hooli kellestki, sest sa ei vaata inimese isikule.

¹⁶And they send out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true and teachest the way of God in truth, and carest not for any one, for thou regardest not men's person;

¹⁷Ütle nüüd meile, mis sa arvad, kas keisrile peab andma pearaha või ei?'

¹⁷tell us therefore what thou thinkest: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

¹⁸Aga Jeesus ütles nende kurjust ära tundes: 'Mis te mind kiusate, silmakirjatsejad?

¹⁸But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites?

¹⁹Näidake mulle maksuraha!' Nemad tõidki ta kätte teenari.

¹⁹Shew me the money of the tribute. And they presented to him a denarius.

²⁰Ja ta küsis neilt: 'Kelle pilt ja kiri sellel on?'

²⁰And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription?

²¹Nad ütlesid temale: 'Keisri.' Siis ta ütles neile: 'Andke nüüd keisrile keisri oma tagasi ja Jumalale Jumala oma!'

²¹They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Pay then what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.

²²Seda kuuldes nad hämmastusid ja lahkusid, jättes ta sinnapaika.

²²And when they heard [him], they wondered, and left him, and went away.

²³Tolsamal päeval astusid Jeesuse juurde saduserid, kes ütlesid, et surnuist ülestõusmist ei ole olemas, ja küsisid temalt:

²³On that day came to him Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him,

²⁴'Õpetaja, Mooses ütles: Kui keegi sureb, ilma et tal oleks lapsi, siis ta vend peab abielluma oma surnud venna naisega ja soetama sugu vennale.

²⁴saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife and shall raise up seed to his brother.

²⁵Meie pool oli seitse venda. Esimene võttis naise, kuid suri. Ja et tal ei olnud järglast, siis jättis ta naise oma vennale.

²⁵Now there were with us seven brethren; and the first having married died, and not having seed, left his wife to his brother.

²⁶Nõndasamuti ka teine ja kolmas kuni seitsmendani.

²⁶In like manner also the second and the third, unto the seven.

²⁷Pärast kõiki suri see naine.

²⁷And last of all the woman also died.

²⁸Ülestõusmisel nüüd: kelle naine nendest seitsmest peab ta olema? Ta on ju olnud nende kõikide oma.'

²⁸In the resurrection therefore of which of the seven shall she be wife, for all had her?

²⁹Jeesus aga vastas neile: 'Te eksite, kuna ei tunne pühi kirju ega Jumala väge.

²⁹And Jesus answering said to them, Ye err, not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God.

³⁰Ülestõusmisel ju ei võeta naisi ega minda mehele, vaid ollakse nagu inglid taevas.

³⁰For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as angels of God in heaven.

³¹Aga surnute ülestõusmisest - kas te ei ole lugenud, mida Jumal teile on rääkinud:

³¹But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

³²Mina olen Aabrahami Jumal ja Iisaki Jumal ja Jaakobi Jumal. Jumal ei ole surnute, vaid elavate Jumal.'

³²*I* am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of [the] dead, but of [the] living.

³³Seda kuuldes rahvas hämmastus tema õpetusest.

³³And when the crowds heard [it] they were astonished at his doctrine.

³⁴Aga kui variserid said kuulda, et Jeesus oli sulgenud saduseride suu, kogunesid nad sinna.

³⁴But the Pharisees, having heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, were gathered together.

³⁵Ja üks seadusetundja nende seast küsis teda kiusates:

³⁵And one of them, a lawyer, demanded, tempting him, and saying,

³⁶'Õpetaja, milline käsk Seaduses on suurim?'

³⁶Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?

³⁷Jeesus vastas talle: 'Armasta Issandat, oma Jumalat, kogu oma südamega ja kogu oma hingega ja kogu oma mõistusega!

³⁷And he said to him, Thou shalt love [the] Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding.

³⁸See ongi suurim ja esimene käsk.

³⁸This is [the] great and first commandment.

³⁹Teine on selle sarnane: Armasta oma ligimest nagu iseennast!

³⁹And [the] second is like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

⁴⁰Neis kahes käsus on koos kogu Seadus ja Prohvetid.'

⁴⁰On these two commandments the whole law and the prophets hang.

⁴¹Aga kui variserid olid koos, küsis Jeesus neilt:

⁴¹And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus demanded of them,

⁴²'Mida te arvate Messia kohta: kelle poeg ta on?' Nad ütlesid talle: 'Taaveti.'

⁴²saying, What think ye concerning the Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, David's.

⁴³Tema lausus neile: 'Kuidas siis Taavet vaimus hüüab teda Issandaks:

⁴³He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,

⁴⁴Issand ütles mu Issandale: Istu mu paremale käele, kuni ma panen su vaenlased sinu jalge alla!?

⁴⁴The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies under thy feet?

⁴⁵Kui nüüd Taavet hüüab teda Issandaks, kuidas ta siis on tema poeg?'

⁴⁵If therefore David call him Lord, how is he his son?

⁴⁶Ja ükski ei suutnud talle vastata sõnagi ja keegi ei julgenud sellest päevast peale teda enam küsitleda.

⁴⁶And no one was able to answer him a word, nor did any one dare from that day to question him any more.
