¹In odgovarjaje jim zoper govori Jezus v prilikah, rekoč:

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

²Nebeško kraljestvo je podobno človeku, kralju, ki je napravil svatovščino sinu svojemu.

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

³In pošlje hlapce svoje, naj pokličejo tiste, ki so bili povabljeni na svatovščino; a niso hoteli priti.

³ and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.

⁴Zopet pošlje druge hlapce in veli: Recite povabljencem: Glej, pojedino svojo sem pripravil, junci moji in pitanci so poklani in vse je pripravljeno; pridite na svatovščino!

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!”’

⁵Oni pa niso marali in so odšli, eden na polje svoje, drugi pa po kupčiji svoji.

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

⁶Drugi pa so zgrabili hlapce njegove in jih zasramotili in ubili.

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

⁷Kralj pa se razjezi ter pošlje vojske svoje in pogubi tiste ubijalce in požge njih mesto.

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

⁸Tedaj veli hlapcem svojim: Svatovščina je sicer pripravljena, ali povabljenci niso bili vredni.

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

⁹Pojdite torej na razpotja, in kolikorkoli jih najdete, pokličite jih na svatovščino!

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

¹⁰In tisti hlapci odidejo na ceste in zbero vse, katerekoli najdejo, hudobne in dobre; in svatovska dvorana se napolni z gostmi.

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.

¹¹Ko pa pride kralj, da pogleda goste, ugleda tu človeka, ki ni bil oblečen v svatovsko oblačilo,

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

¹²in mu reče: Prijatelj, kako si prišel sem, ko nimaš svatovskega oblačila? On pa mu umolkne.

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

¹³Tedaj reče kralj služabnikom svojim: Zvežite mu roke in noge ter ga vrzite v zunanjo temo; tam bo jok in škripanje z zobmi.

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.’

¹⁴Kajti mnogo jih je poklicanih, a malo izvoljenih.

¹⁴ For many are called, but few chosen.”

¹⁵Tedaj odidejo farizeji in se posvetujejo, kako bi ga v besedi ujeli.

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

¹⁶In pošljejo k njemu učence svoje s Herodovci, naj reko: Učenik, vemo, da si resničen in pot Božjo v resnici učiš, in mar ti ni nikogar, kajti ne gledaš ljudem na lice.

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.

¹⁷Povej nam torej, kaj se ti zdi? Ali je prav dati cesarju davek ali ne?

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

¹⁸Jezus pa, spoznavši njih hudobnost, reče: Kaj me izkušate, hinavci?

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

¹⁹Pokažite mi davčni denar. In oni mu prineso denar.

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

²⁰In reče jim: Čigava je ta podoba in napis?

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

²¹Reko mu: Cesarjeva. Tedaj jim reče: Dajte torej cesarju, kar je cesarjevega, in Bogu, kar je Božjega.

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.”

²²In ko to slišijo, se začudijo, ter ga pusté in odidejo.

²²When they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went away.

²³Tisti dan pristopijo k njemu saduceji, ki pravijo, da ni vstajenja, in ga vprašajo,

²³On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,

²⁴rekoč: Učenik! Mojzes je rekel: „Ako kdo umre brez otrok, naj vzame njegov brat ženo njegovo in zbudi seme bratu svojemu“.

²⁴saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.’

²⁵Pri nas pa je bilo sedem bratov. Prvi se oženi in umre, in ker ni imel zaroda, zapusti ženo svojo bratu svojemu.

²⁵Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no seed left his wife to his brother.

²⁶Ravno tako tudi drugi in tretji prav do sedmega.

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

²⁷Nazadnje za vsemi pa umre žena.

²⁷After them all, the woman died.

²⁸Ob vstajenju torej, čigava žena bo od teh sedmerih? kajti vsi so jo imeli.

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

²⁹Jezus pa odgovori in jim reče: Motite se, ker ne poznate ne pisma, ne moči Božje.

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

³⁰Ob vstajenju namreč se ne ženijo in ne može, temuč so kakor angeli Božji v nebesih.

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

³¹Za vstajenje mrtvih pa, ali niste brali, kar vam je rekel Bog, govoreč:

³¹ But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven’t you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

³²„Jaz sem Bog Abrahamov in Bog Izakov in Bog Jakobov“? On ni Bog mrtvih, ampak živih.

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.”

³³In ko to slišijo množice, se silno čudijo nauku njegovemu.

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

³⁴Ko pa farizeji slišijo, da je saducejem zavezal jezik, se zbero vkup.

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

³⁵In eden izmed njih, učenik postave, vpraša, izkušaje ga:

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

³⁶Učenik, katera zapoved je v postavi največja?

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

³⁷Jezus mu pa reče: „Ljubi Gospoda, Boga svojega, iz vsega srca svojega in iz vse duše svoje in iz vse pameti svoje“.

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

³⁸Ta je prva in največja zapoved.

³⁸ This is the first and great commandment.

³⁹Druga pa je tej podobna: „Ljubi bližnjega svojega kakor samega sebe“.

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

⁴⁰Ob teh dveh zapovedih visi vsa postava in proroki.

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

⁴¹Ko se pa farizeji snidejo, jih vpraša Jezus,

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

⁴²rekoč: Kaj se vam zdi o Kristusu? Čigav sin je? Reko mu: Davidov.

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

⁴³Vpraša jih: Kako ga torej David v Duhu imenuje Gospoda, ko pravi:

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

⁴⁴„Rekel je Gospod Gospodu mojemu: Sedi na desnico mojo, dokler ne položim sovražnikov tvojih nogam tvojim za podnožje“.

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

⁴⁵Če ga torej David imenuje Gospoda, kako je sin njegov?In nihče mu ni mogel odgovoriti besede, in od tega dne si ga ni upal nihče več vprašati.

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

⁴⁶In nihče mu ni mogel odgovoriti besede, in od tega dne si ga ni upal nihče več vprašati.

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