¹Andek dies, kana O Jesus sas ande tampla sicharelas le narodos ai delas duma e lashi viasta, le bare rasha ai le Gramnoturia, ai le mai phure avile.

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],

²Ai phende leske, "Phen amenge, katar si tu kadia putiera te keres so keres? Vai kon si kodo kai dia tu kadia putiera?"

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

³O Jesus phendia lenge, "Vi me akana phushav tumendar ek divano,

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

⁴o bolimos le Iovanosko katar sas, anda rhaio vai manushendar?"

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

⁵Ai dinepe duma mashkar pende, phenenas, "Te phenasa 'Anda rhaio,' wo phenela, ' Sostar chi pachaian les?'

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

⁶Numa te phenasa, 'Katar le manush,' sa o narodo shudela bax pe amende; ke o narodo zhanelas ke o Iovano sas ek profeto.

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

⁷No won phende, 'Chi zhanas katar avilo.'"

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

⁸Ai O Jesus phendia lenge, "Chi me chi phenav tumenge katar che putiera kerav so kerav."

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

⁹Porme O Jesus phendia le narodoske ek paramichi: "Iek manush thodia te bariol rez, ai meklia les kaver manush te len sama, ai gelotar andek dur them but vriama.

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,

¹⁰Kana avili e vriama te chidelpe o struguro, wo tradia ieke sluga karing le kolaver manush te lel lendar so trobul te avel lesko. Numa le manush kai chidenas o struguro marde les, ai trade les palpale bi kanchesko.

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.

¹¹Kodo manush mai tradia ieka sluga; ai pale marde les, chinuisarde les, ai trade les bi kanchesko.

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

¹²Numa kodo manush mai tradia mai ieka sluga, (o trito) ai won dukhade les, ai gonisarde les.

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

¹³Antunchi o gazda la rezako phendia, "So te kerav? Tradav murhe shaves kai si mange drago; amborim lena pe pala leste!"

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;

¹⁴Numa kana le manush kai chidenas o struguro dikhle les, denas pe duma mashkar pende, "Kodo si o shav le gazdasko, mudaras les, ai e phuv ashela amenge!"

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;

¹⁵Ai gonisarde les dur katar e rez, ai mudarde les. "Akana, so kerel lenge o gazda la rezako?" "Avela ai mudarela kodole manushen, ai dela e rez kal kolaver."

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

¹⁶Kana o narodo ashundia kodia, phendia, "Kasavatar diela nashti kerdiol!"

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

¹⁷O Jesus dikhlia pe lende, ai phendia, "So znachil kado ramomos? O bax kai shude kukula, saikfielo bax sas o bax kai trobulsarde."

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?

¹⁸Kon godi perela pe kodo bax avela phaglo; ai kuko kai perela o bax wo avela lichardo."

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

¹⁹Le bare rasha ai le Gramnoturia dinepe duma sar te astaren les; ai won daranas anda le manushenge, ke won haliarde ke O Jesus lenge phendia kodia paramichi.

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.

²⁰Ai won lenas sama les, ai trade manushen te dikhen so kerel, kerenaspe sar chache manush, saxke te astaren les ande lesko divano, saxke te den les ka guvernori (kai si les e putiera te kerel sa wo mangel).

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,

²¹Kodala manush phushle les, "Gazda, zhanas so phenes ai sichares si vorta, ai zhanas ke chi respektis iek manush mai but sar kaver, numa sichares o zakono le Devlesko chachimasa.

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;

²²Phen amenge, si amenge slobodo vai nai te pochinas taksa ka Caesar?"

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

²³Numa O Jesus haliardia lenge nasul ginduria, ai phendia lenge, "Sostar tume zumaven ma?"

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

²⁴Sikaven mange ek kotor rupone, "Kaske fatsa ai ramomos si kado?"

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

²⁵Won phende, "O Caesar." O Jesus phendia lenge, "Den ka Caesar so si lesko, ai den ka Del so si le Devlesko."

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

²⁶Nashti thode leske dosh pe kado divano angla narodo; numa chudisaile andal atweto kai dia le, ai chi mai phende kanch.

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

²⁷Uni Saduseanuria avile ka Jesus, ke mothonas ke nai traio pala e martia; ai phushle,

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

²⁸"Gazda, o Moses ramosardia o zakono amenge; "Te merela vari kasko phral, ai si les ek rhomni, ai nas les glate, lesko phral ansurilape leska rhomniasa, ai vazdel familia leske phraleske."

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.

²⁹Sas efta phral: o pervo ansurisailo, ai mulo bi te avel les glate, meklia rhomnia peske phraleske.

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

³⁰Sakadia o duito,

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

³¹ai o trito, sakadia kerdilia vi le efta phralensa. Mule vi te aven le glate.

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

³²Akana vi e zhuvli muli.

³²and last of all died also the woman:

³³Kana avela te zhuvindin le mule te zhan ando rhaio, saveski andal efta phral avela e rhomni ke savorhenge sas?"

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

³⁴O Jesus phendia lenge, "Le mursh ai le zhuvlia la lumiake akana ansurinpe;

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

³⁵Numa le mursh ai le zhuvlia kai sai zhuvindin andai martia ka traio ai te traiin ande kolaver lumia chi mai ansurinpe.

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;

³⁶Nashti mai meren; ke won avena sar le angeluria ai chi meren, ai avena shaves le Devleske, ke zhuvindisar le andai martia.

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.

³⁷Ai o Moses sikadia kai le mule zhuvindinas ka traio. Ande Vorba le Devleski kai mothol pai krenzha kai zhalas e iag, kana wo akharel les "O Del le Abrahamosko, O Del le Isakosko, ai O Del le Iakovosko."

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;

³⁸Ke wo nai O Del le mulengo, numa le zhuvindengo; savorhe traiin leske."

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

³⁹Uni andal Gramnoturia phende, "Gazda, mishto dia duma."

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

⁴⁰Ai chi mai tromanas te mai phushen les kanch.

⁴⁰and no more durst they question him anything.

⁴¹O Jesus phendia lenge, "Sar mothon ke O Kristo si Shav le Davidosko?

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

⁴²Ke o David phendia ande Vorba le Devleski (Psalms), "O Del phendia murhe Devleske: Besh tele pa murhi chachi rik,

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

⁴³zhi kai kerav anda che duzhmaia iek than te hodinis che punrhe pa lende."

⁴³till I shall make thine enemies thy footstool;

⁴⁴O David akhardia les Devla, sar sai avel vo lesko shav?"

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

⁴⁵Sar sa o narodo ashunelas leste, O Jesus phendia peske disiplonge.

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

⁴⁶Arakhen tume katar le Gramnoturia, kai si lenge drago te phiravenpe andel rhochi lunzhe, ai den le manush lasho dies pel droma, ai roden la mai lashe skamina ande synagogue, ai drago lenge te beshen ka shero la skafidiako kal pachiva.

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,

⁴⁷Ke tume xan le phivliange khera, ai rhugin tume lungo rhugimos te miazol ke lashe san: anda kodia si te perel mai phari kris pe tumende."

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