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.

¹YA susede uno gui güije sija na jaane, anae jafananagüe y taotao sija gui templo, ya japredidica y ibangelio; manmato guiya güiya y magas mamale, yan y escriba, yan y manamco sija;

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

²Ya macuentuse, ilegñija nu güiya: Sangane jam, jafa na ninasiña na unfatitinas este sija na güinaja? Pat jaye numae jao ni este na ninasiña?

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

³Ya manope si Jesus, ilegña nu sija: Jufaesen locue jamyo un finaesen, ya sanganeyo;

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

⁴Y tagpangen Juan, guinin y langet, pat guinin y taotao sija?

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

⁵Ya sija, jajaso gui sumanjalomñija, ilegñija: Yanguin ilegmame: Guinin y langet; ualog, jafa nae na ti injenggue güe?

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

⁶Lao yanguin ilegmame: Guinin y taotao sija; infanmamagas nu y acho ni y taotao, sa pineloñija na profeta si Juan.

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

⁷Ya manmanope na ti jatungo guine mano.

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

⁸Ayonae ilegña si Jesus nu sija: Ni guajo locue ti jusangane jamyo, jafa na ninasiña na jufatitinas este sija na güinaja.

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.

⁹¶ Ya jatutujon sumangane sija ni este na acomparasion; Un taotao, manplanta un fangualuan ubas, ya japoluye ni manfáfachocho, ya jumanao para y chago na tano, apmam na tiempo.

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.

¹⁰Ya y tiempon mangoco, jatago un tentago para y manmachóchocho, para umanae ni y tinegcha y gualo; lao masaulag ni y manmachóchocho, ya manajanao taesinajguan.

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

¹¹Ya jatago talo y otro tentago: ya masaulag locue talo, ya manamamajlao, ya manajanao taesinajguan.

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

¹²Ya jatalo tumago y mina tres na tentago: ya manaerida, ya mayute juyong.

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.’

¹³Ayonae ilegña y señot y fangualuan: Jafa jufatinas? Bae jutago y guefyajo na lajijo, sa buente ufangaerespeto nu güiya.

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.’

¹⁴Lao anae malie ni y manmachóchocho, manasangane ilegñija: Estagüe y heredero; nije tapuno, ya usaga y inereda guiya jita.

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

¹⁵Ya mayute juyong gui jiyong y fangualuan, ya mapuno. Jafa pago ufatinas y señot y fangualuan nu sija?

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!”

¹⁶Ufato, ya uyulang este sija y manmachóchocho, ya ufannae otro ni y fangualuan. Ya anae majungog ayo, ilegñija: Munga este.

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

¹⁷Lao jaatan sija ya ilegña: Jafa nae este y esta matugue: Y acho ni y jarechasa y manmamatitinas y guima, esteja mapolo cuentan ulo gui esquina?

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

¹⁸Jayeja y pedong gui jilo ayo na acho, umayamag pedasitos; lao jayeja y jinegse, ufinapetbos.

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.

¹⁹¶ Ya y magas mamale, yan y escriba sija, maaliligao para umaqueguot güije na ora; lao manmaañao nu y taotao sija, sa matungoja na jasangan este na acomparasion, contra sija.

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.

²⁰Ya mapupulanja yan manmanago na umaespipia, para ujafaquemanunas sija na taotao, ya uquefanmañule ni y sinanganña, ya umaqueentrega güe gui inaregla yan ninasiñan y gobietno.

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.

²¹Ya mafaesen güe, ilegñija: Maestro, intingo na unsasangan yan mamananagüe jao tunas, ya ti numanasajnge jao taotao, lao mamananagüe jao ni y magajet na chalan Yuus.

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

²²Tunas na infanmanaejam si Sesat tributo, pat aje?

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

²³Lao jatungoja y mañañija, ya ilegña nu sija:

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

²⁴Fanueyo nu y salape. Jaye gaeimagen este yan este na tinigue? Ya manmanope ilegñija: Iyon Sesat.

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

²⁵Ya ilegña nu sija: Nae si Sesat ni y iyon Sesat, ya innae si Yuus nu y iyon Yuus.

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

²⁶Ya ti siña maguot pot y sinanganña gui menan y taotao sija; ya ninafanmanman ni y inepeña ya manmamatquilo.

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

²⁷¶ Ya manmato guiya güiya Saduseo sija, ni y sumangan na taya quinajulon manmatae; ya mafaesen güe,

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.

²⁸Ylegñija: Maestro, si Moises jatuguiejam, na yanguin dos chumelo na laje, ya y uno guaja asaguaña, ya matae taya patgonña; ayo y cheluña uniasagua y palaoan, ya unacajulo semiya gui cheluña.

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

²⁹Ya guaja siete na lalaje na mañelu: ya y finenana umasagua, ya matae taya patgonña.

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

³⁰Ya inasagua y palaoan ni y miná dos;

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

³¹Ya inasagua talo ni y miná tres; yan taegüenaoja locue todo y siete manmatae ya taya famaguonñija.

³²Afterward the woman also died.

³²Ya y palaoan uttimo matae locue.

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

³³Ya y quinajulon manmatae, jaye gaeasagua y palaoan? sa inasagua todo ni y siete.

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

³⁴Ya si Jesus ilegña nu sija: Y famaguon este na tiempo manásagua yan manafanásagua:

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.

³⁵Lao ayo sija y ufanmanmerese güije na tiempo, yan y quinajulon manmatae, ni ufanasagua, ni umanafanasagua:

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

³⁶Ni ti siña manmatae talo: sa manparejoja yan y angjet sija; yan manfamaguon Yuus, sa manfamaguon y quinajulon. manmatae.

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

³⁷Ya pot y manmatae ni umanafangajulo, asta si Moises mamanue gui finajalomtano, anae jafanaan y Señot, Yuus Abraham yan Yuus Ysaac yan Yuus Jacob.

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

³⁸Sa ti güiya Yuus manmatae, na manlâlâ: sa todosija manlala guiya güiya.

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

³⁹Ya manmanope palo gui escriba sija ilegñija: Maestro, mauleg sinanganmo.

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

⁴⁰Ya desde ayo, ti matatnga mafaesen güe talo jafa.

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

⁴¹¶ Ya ilegña nu sija: Jafa na ilegñija na si Cristo lajin David?

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

⁴²Ya güiyaja si David umalog gui leblon y Salmos: Y Señot ilegña ni y Señotjo, Fatáchong gui agapa na canaejo,

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

⁴³Asta qui jupolo y enemigumo sija para fañajangan y adengmo.

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

⁴⁴Enao muna si David finanaan güe Señot, ya jaftaemano mina ulajiña?

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

⁴⁵¶ Ya majujungogja ni y taotao sija, anae ilegña ni y disipuluña:

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;

⁴⁶Adaje jamyo ni y escriba sija, sa yanñija manmamocat yan y anaco na magago, yan yanñija manmasaluda gui plasa, yan y finénana na tachong gui sinagoga sija; yan y finénana na saga gui guipot;

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

⁴⁷Yan jalachae y guima y biuda sija, yan manmamanunue ni y anaco tinaetaeñija pot taya; estesija ujaresibe mandangculo na sinentensia.
