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.

¹He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the winepress, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.

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

² When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

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

³ They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.

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

⁴ Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.

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

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

⁶Üks oli tal veel, tema armas poeg. Lõpuks ta läkitas nende juurde poja, mõeldes: 'Ehk nad häbenevad mu poega!?'

⁶ Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

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

⁷ But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

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

⁸ They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

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

⁹ What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.

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

¹⁰ Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner.

¹¹See tuli Issandalt ja on imeasi meie silmis.'

¹¹ This was from the Lord, it is marvelous in our eyes’?” Psalm 118:22-23

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.

¹²They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.

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

¹³They sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.

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?'

¹⁴When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?

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

¹⁵Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”

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

¹⁶They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”

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

¹⁷Jesus answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.

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

¹⁸There came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him, saying,

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.

¹⁹“Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies, and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.’

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

²⁰There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.

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

²¹The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;

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

²²and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.

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

²³In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”

²⁴Jeesus lausus neile: 'Kas te mitte ei eksi, sellepärast et te ei tunne pühi kirju ega Jumala väge?

²⁴Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?

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

²⁵ For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

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'?

²⁶ But about the dead, that they are raised; haven’t you read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ Exodus 3:6 ?

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

²⁷ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”

²⁸Ja üks juurdeastunud kirjatundjaist, kes oli kuulnud nende vaidlemist ja teadis, et Jeesus oli neile hästi vastanud, küsis temalt: 'Milline on kõige esimene käsk?'

²⁸One of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”

²⁹Jeesus vastas: 'Esimene on: Kuule, Iisrael, Issand, meie Jumal, on ainus Issand,

²⁹Jesus answered, “The greatest is, ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one:

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

³⁰ you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ Deuteronomy 6:4-5 This is the first commandment.

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

³¹ The second is like this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ Leviticus 19:18 There is no other commandment greater than these.”

³²Ja kirjatundja ütles talle: 'Hästi, Õpetaja, sa ütlesid tõtt, et tema on Ainus ja ei ole teist peale tema;

³²The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he,

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.'

³³and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

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

³⁴When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” No one dared ask him any question after that.

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

³⁵Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

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

³⁶ For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’ Psalm 110:1

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

³⁷ Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.

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

³⁸In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,

³⁹ja esimesi istmeid sünagoogides ja esimesi kohti võõruspidudel,

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

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

⁴⁰ those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

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

⁴¹Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.

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

⁴²A poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins, literally, lepta (or widow’s mites). Lepta are very small brass coins worth half a quadrans each, which is a quarter of the copper assarion. Lepta are worth less than 1% of an agricultural worker’s daily wages. which equal a quadrans coin. A quadrans is a coin worth about 1/64 of a denarius. A denarius is about one day’s wages for an agricultural laborer.

⁴³Ja kutsudes oma jüngrid enese juurde, ütles Jeesus neile: 'Tõesti, ma ütlen teile, see vaene lesknaine pani rohkem kui kõik, kes panevad aardekirstu,

⁴³He called his disciples to himself, and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,

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

⁴⁴ for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”
