¹In zgodi se enega tistih dni, ko je učil ljudstvo v templju in oznanjeval evangelij, da pridejo višji duhovniki in pismarji s starejšinami

¹It happened on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, that the TR adds “chief” priests and scribes came to him with the elders.

²in ga ogovore in reko: Povej nam, s kakšno oblastjo to delaš? ali kdo je, ki ti je dal to oblast?

²They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”

³Odgovori pa in jim reče: Vprašal bom tudi jaz vas eno besedo. Povejte mi:

³He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:

⁴Krst Janezov je li bil iz nebes ali od ljudi?

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

⁵A oni premišljujejo sami pri sebi, govoreč: Ako rečemo: Iz nebes, nam poreče: Zakaj mu niste verovali?

⁵They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’

⁶Ako pa rečemo: Od ljudi, vse ljudstvo nas bo s kamenjem posulo, zakaj prepričano je, da je Janez prorok.

⁶But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”

⁷In odgovore, da ne vedo, odkod.

⁷They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.

⁸In Jezus jim reče: Tudi jaz vam ne povem, s kakšno oblastjo to delam.

⁸Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

⁹Ljudstvu pa začne praviti tole priliko: Nekdo je zasadil vinograd in ga dal vinogradnikom v najem, in odpotoval je za veliko časa.

⁹He began to tell the people this parable. “A NU (in brackets) and TR add “certain” man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.

¹⁰In ob svojem času pošlje k vinogradnikom hlapca, naj mu dado od sadu vinogradovega; a vinogradniki ga pretepo in odpošljejo praznega.

¹⁰ At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him, and sent him away empty.

¹¹In zopet pošlje drugega hlapca; a oni pretepo tudi tega in zasramote ter odpošljejo praznega.

¹¹ He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

¹²In zopet pošlje tretjega; in oni ranijo tudi tega in ga izženo.

¹² He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him, and threw him out.

¹³Reče pa gospodar vinogradov: Kaj naj storim? Pošljem sina svojega ljubljenega; ko bodo tega videli, nemara da se bodo bali.

¹³ The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’

¹⁴Ko ga pa vinogradniki ugledajo, se posvetujejo med seboj, govoreč: Ta je dedič; umorimo ga, da bode dediščina naša.

¹⁴ “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’

¹⁵In vržejo ga ven iz vinograda in umore. Kaj jim bo torej storil gospodar vinogradov?

¹⁵ They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?

¹⁶Pride in pogubi vinogradnike te in da vinograd drugim. Ko so pa to slišali, reko: Bog ne daj!

¹⁶ He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard it, they said, “May it never be!”

¹⁷On pa jih pogleda in reče: Kaj je torej to, kar je pisano: „Kamen, ki so ga zidarji zavrgli, ta je postal glava voglu“?

¹⁷But he looked at them, and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the chief cornerstone?’ Psalm 118:22

¹⁸Vsak, kdor pade na ta kamen, se razbije; na kogar pa on pade, ga razdrobi.

¹⁸ Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”

¹⁹In pismarji in višji duhovniki bi bili radi položili nanj roke v to uro, ali zboje se ljudstva; spoznali so namreč, da je zanje povedal to priliko.

¹⁹The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

²⁰In zalezujoč ga, pošljejo prežune, ki naj bi se hlinili pravične, da bi ga ujeli v besedi in ga potem izročili gosposki in oblasti poglavarjevi.

²⁰They watched him, and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

²¹In vprašajo ga, rekoč: Učenik, vemo, da prav govoriš in učiš ter ne gledaš ljudem na lice, marveč v resnici učiš pot Božjo.

²¹They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.

²²Je li prav, da dajemo cesarju davek, ali ne?

²²Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”

²³Ker pa spozna njih zvijačo, jim reče: Kaj me izkušate?

²³But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?

²⁴Pokažite mi denar. Čigavo podobo ima in napis? Pa reko: Cesarjevo.

²⁴ Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”

²⁵In on jim veli: Dajte torej cesarju, kar je cesarjevega, in Bogu, kar je Božjega.

²⁵He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

²⁶In niso ga mogli ujeti v besedi vpričo ljudstva, in umolknejo, čudeč se odgovoru njegovemu.

²⁶They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer, and were silent.

²⁷In pristopijo nekateri od saducejev, ki pravijo, da ni vstajenja, in ga vprašajo,

²⁷Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.

²⁸rekoč: Učenik! Mojzes nam je napisal: Če komu umre brat, oženjen, pa brez otrok, naj vzame njegov brat ženo njegovo in zbudi seme bratu svojemu.

²⁸They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.

²⁹Bilo je pa sedem bratov. In prvi vzame ženo in umre brez otrok.

²⁹There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.

³⁰In drugi

³⁰The second took her as wife, and he died childless.

³¹in tretji jo vzame, in tako tudi vseh sedem, in pomrjejo, ne da bi bili zapustili otrok.

³¹The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.

³²Naposled umre tudi žena.

³²Afterward the woman also died.

³³Ta žena torej čigava izmed njih bo ob vstajenju? zakaj sedem jih jo je imelo za ženo.

³³Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”

³⁴In reče jim Jezus: Sinovi tega sveta se ženijo in možé.

³⁴Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry, and are given in marriage.

³⁵Ali ti, ki bodo spoznani za vredne, da dosežejo drugi svet in vstajenje iz mrtvih, se ne bodo ne ženili, ne možile;

³⁵ But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage.

³⁶kajti tudi umreti ne morejo več: enaki so namreč angelom in so sinovi Božji, ker so sinovi vstajenja.

³⁶ For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels, and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.

³⁷Da pa mrtvi vstajajo, je pokazal tudi Mojzes v zgodbi o grmu, ko imenuje Gospoda Boga Abrahamovega in Boga Izakovega in Boga Jakobovega.

³⁷ But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Exodus 3:6

³⁸Bog pa ni Bog mrtvih, ampak živih; zakaj njemu so vsi živi.

³⁸ Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”

³⁹Odgovore pa nekateri pismarji in reko: Učenik, dobro si povedal.

³⁹Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”

⁴⁰Kajti nič več si ga niso upali vpraševati.

⁴⁰They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

⁴¹Reče jim pa: Kako pravijo, da je Kristus sin Davidov?

⁴¹He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?

⁴²David sam namreč pravi v knjigi psalmov: „Rekel je Gospod Gospodu mojemu: Sedi na desnici moji,

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

⁴³dokler ne položim sovražnikov tvojih nogam tvojim za podnožje“.

⁴³ until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’ Psalm 110:1

⁴⁴David ga torej imenuje Gospoda, in kako je sin njegov?

⁴⁴ “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”

⁴⁵A ko ga vse ljudstvo posluša, reče učencem svojim:

⁴⁵In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁶Varujte se pismarjev, ki radi hodijo v dolgih oblačilih in ljubijo pozdrave po ulicah in prve stole v shodnicah in prve prostore na gostijah,ki požirajo vdovam hiše in opravljajo na videz dolge molitve. Ti prejmejo ostrejšo sodbo.

⁴⁶ “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;

⁴⁷ki požirajo vdovam hiše in opravljajo na videz dolge molitve. Ti prejmejo ostrejšo sodbo.

⁴⁷ who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these will receive greater condemnation.”
