¹Ja Jeesus hakkas taas neile mõistu kõnelema:

¹Jesus answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,

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

² “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,

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

³ and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but 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!'

⁴ Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage feast!”’

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

⁵ But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,

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

⁶ and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.

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

⁷ When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

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

⁸ “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren’t worthy.

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

⁹ Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.’

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

¹⁰ Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.

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

¹¹ But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn’t have on wedding clothing,

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

¹² and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.

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

¹³ Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’

¹⁴Sest paljud on kutsutud, aga vähesed valitud.'

¹⁴ For many are called, but few chosen.”

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

¹⁵Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

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.

¹⁶They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you aren’t partial to anyone.

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

¹⁷Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

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

¹⁸But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

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

¹⁹ Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.

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

²⁰He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”

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

²¹They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

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

²²When they heard it, they marveled, 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 Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked 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 a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for 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 brothers. The first married and died, and having no seed left his wife to his brother.

²⁶Nõndasamuti ka teine ja kolmas kuni seitsmendani.

²⁶In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.

²⁷Pärast kõiki suri see naine.

²⁷After them all, the woman died.

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

²⁸In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”

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

²⁹But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

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

³⁰ For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.

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

³¹ But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which 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?’ Exodus 3:6 God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

³³Seda kuuldes rahvas hämmastus tema õpetusest.

³³When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

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

³⁴But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.

³⁵Ja üks seadusetundja nende seast küsis teda kiusates:

³⁵One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.

³⁶'Õpetaja, milline käsk Seaduses on suurim?'

³⁶“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”

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

³⁷Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ Deuteronomy 6:5

³⁸See ongi suurim ja esimene käsk.

³⁸ This is the first and great commandment.

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

³⁹ A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ Leviticus 19:18

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

⁴⁰ The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”

⁴¹Aga kui variserid olid koos, küsis Jeesus neilt:

⁴¹Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

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

⁴²saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”

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

⁴³He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

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

⁴⁴ ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet?’ Psalm 110:1

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

⁴⁵ “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”

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

⁴⁶No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forth.
