1He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the winepress, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
1Sidna Ɛisa yebda ițmeslay-asen s lemtul : Yiwen wergaz yeẓẓa tafeṛṛant, izeṛṛeb-iț, yeɣza amkan i tɛeṣṣart n tẓurin yerna yebna taxxamt n tɛessast. Issekra-ț i ixemmasen n tfeṛṛant imiren iṛuḥ ad yinig.
2 When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
2Mi d-yewweḍ lweqt n tẓurin, iceggeɛ aqeddac-is ɣer ixemmasen-nni iwakken a s-d-fken amur-is.
3 They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
3Meɛna ṭṭfen aqeddac-nni, wwten-t, qecɛen-t ifassen-is d ilmawen.
4 Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
4Iceggeɛ-asen aqeddac wis sin , reggmen-t yerna wwten-t ula d nețța ɣer uqeṛṛuy.
5 Again he sent another; and they killed him; and many others, beating some, and killing some.
5Iceggeɛ-asen aqeddac wis tlata, wagi nɣan-t. Iceggeɛ-asen aṭas iqeddacen nniḍen, kra nɣan-ten kra wten-ten .
6 Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
6Yeqqim-as-d anagar mmi-s ameɛzuz. Iceggeɛ-it d aneggaru ɣuṛ-sen, yenna : « ahat a t-qadṛen imi d mmi. »
7 But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
7Meɛna ixemmasen-agi nnan wway gar-asen : « atan win ara iweṛten ! Ekkret a t-nenneɣ iwakken lweṛt nni ad yuɣal d ayla-nneɣ !»
8 They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
8?ṭfen-t-id wwten-t armi yemmut, imiren ḍeggṛen-t ɣer beṛṛa n tfeṛṛant.
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
9D acu ara yexdem tura bab n tfeṛṛant ? A d-yas nețța s yiman-is, ad ineɣ ixemmasen-nni ad yernu ad iwekkel tafeṛṛant-nni i wiyaḍ.
10 Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner.
10Eɛni ur teɣṛim ara awal-agi n tira iqedsen ? Adɣaɣ i ḍeggṛen wid ibennun, d nețța i guɣalen d azṛu alemmas yeṭṭfen lebni.
11 This was from the Lord, it is marvelous in our eyes’?” Psalm 118:22-23
11 Ayagi yekka-d s ɣuṛ Sidi Ṛebbi, yerna ɣer ɣuṛ-nneɣ d ayen i gessewhamen !
12They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.
12Faqen belli fell-asen i d-yewwi lemtel-agi. Bɣan a t-ṭṭfen imiren, lameɛna uggaden lɣaci ; dɣa ǧǧan-t, ṛuḥen.
13They sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
13Kra ifariziyen akk-d kra seg wid yellan si terbaɛt n Hiṛudus, ceggɛen ɣer Sidna Ɛisa iwakken a t-id-sseɣlin deg wawal akken a t-ṭṭfen s imeslayen-is.
14When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
14Usan-d nnan-as : A Sidi, neẓra belli theddṛeḍ ṣṣeḥ, ur txeddmeḍ ara lxilaf ger yemdanen, tesselmadeḍ abrid n Ṛebbi s tideț. Ini-yaɣ-d : d leḥlal neɣ d leḥṛam fell-aɣ ma nxelleṣ tabzert i wugellid Qayṣer (yesṭeɛmeṛen tamurt-nneɣ) ?
15Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”
15Sidna Ɛisa ifaq i tḥila-nsen, yenna-yasen : Acuɣer i yi-d-tneddim tifxeț ? Awit-iyi-d aṣurdi iwakken a t-ẓreɣ.
16They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
16Fkan-as-d aṣurdi dɣa yenna yasen : Udem-agi d wayen yuran fell-as wi ten-ilan ? Nnan-as : N Qayṣer. Imiren Sidna Ɛisa yenna-yasen :
17Jesus answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.
17Erret ihi i Qayṣer ayen yellan n Qayṣeṛ, terrem i Ṛebbi ayen yellan n Ṛebbi. Qqimen wehmen deg-s.
18There came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him, saying,
18Isaduqiyen yellan d wid ur nețțamen ara s ḥeggu n lmegtin, usan-d ɣer Sidna Ɛisa steqsan-t :
19“Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies, and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.’
19A Sidi, atan wayen i ɣ-d yeǧǧa Sidna Musa di ccariɛa : Ma yella yemmut wergaz yeǧǧa-d tameṭṭut-is, m'ur yesɛi ara dderya, ilaq gma-s ad yerr tameṭṭut-nni iwakken a d-yesɛu dderya i gma-s yemmuten.
20There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
20Llan ihi sebɛa watmaten : amezwaru yezweǧ yuɣal yemmut ur d-yeǧǧi ara dderya.
21The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
21Wis sin yuɣ taǧǧalt-nni, yemmut ula d nețța mbla ma yeǧǧa-d dderya. Akken daɣen i tedṛa d wis tlata,
22and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
22ula d yiwen si sebɛa-nni i gzewǧen yid-es ur d-yeǧǧi dderya. ?er taggara, ula ț-țameṭṭut-nni temmut.
23In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”
23Asmi ara d-ḥyun lmegtin, anwa si sebɛa watmaten-nni ara ț-yesɛun ț-țameṭṭut-is imi i ț-uɣen di sebɛa yid-sen ?
24Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?
24Sidna Ɛisa yerra-yasen : Tɣelṭem ! Ur tefhimem tira iqedsen, ur tessinem tazmert n Ṛebbi.
25 For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
25Axaṭer ass n ḥeggu n lmegtin, irgazen ț-țlawin ur țemyezwaǧen ara, lameɛna ad ilin am lmalayekkat deg igenwan.
26 But about the dead, that they are raised; haven’t you read in the book of Moses, about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ Exodus 3:6 ?
26Ma d ayen yeɛnan ḥeggu n lmegtin, leɛmeṛ ur teɣṛim di tektabt n Musa, mi t-id-iluɛa Sidi Ṛebbi zdat udarnu ireqqen ? Yenna-yas-d : Nekk d Illu n Ibṛahim, d Illu n Isḥaq, d Illu n Yeɛqub.
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
27Ihi Ṛebbi mačči d Illu n lmegtin i gella, lameɛna d Illu n wid yeddren. S tideț, atan tɣelṭem aṭas.
28One of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together. Knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”
28Yiwen n umusnaw n ccariɛa mi geẓra Sidna Ɛisa ijaweb akken ilaq, iqeṛṛeb ɣuṛ-es yenna-yas : Anwa i d lameṛ ameqqran di ccariɛa ?
29Jesus answered, “The greatest is, ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one:
29Sidna Ɛisa yerra-yas : Atah lameṛ ameqqran : ?ess-ed ay agdud n Isṛail ! Sidi Ṛebbi-nneɣ d yiwen.
30 you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ Deuteronomy 6:4-5 This is the first commandment.
30Ilaq aț-țḥemmleḍ Sidi Ṛebbi s wul-ik, s teṛwiḥt-ik akk, s wayen yellan di tezmert-ik akk-d lɛeqliya-k meṛṛa .
31 The second is like this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ Leviticus 19:18 There is no other commandment greater than these.”
31Atah wis sin : Ilaq aț-țḥemleḍ lɣiṛ-ik am yiman-ik. Ulac lameṛ yugaren wigi.
32The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he,
32Lɛalem-nni yenna-yas : ?-țideț a Sidi ! Ayen i d-tenniḍ d ṣṣeḥ ; Ṛebbi d yiwen ulac wayeḍ.
33and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
33Yerna ma nḥemmel-it s wul-nneɣ, s lɛeqliya-nneɣ, akk-d wayen yellan di țezmert-nneɣ meṛṛa, ma nḥemmel daɣen lɣiṛ-nneɣ am yiman-nneɣ, annect-agi axiṛ n iseflawen akk-d lewɛadi.
34When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” No one dared ask him any question after that.
34Sidna Ɛisa mi t-iwala ijaweb-ed s tmusni, yenna-yas : Ur tebɛideḍ ara ɣef tgelda n Sidi Ṛebbi. Ulac win i s-d-yernan asteqsi nniḍen.
35Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
35Mi gella Sidna Ɛisa yesselmad di lǧameɛ iqedsen yenna : Amek armi imusnawen n ccariɛa qqaṛen-d belli Lmasiḥ d mmi-s n Sidna Dawed ?
36 For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’ Psalm 110:1
36S Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen i d-yenna Dawed s yiman-is : Sidi Ṛebbi yenna-d i Sidi : Qqim ɣer tama-w tayeffust alamma rriɣ iɛdawen-ik seddaw iḍaṛṛen-ik.
37 Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.
37Dawed s yiman-is issawel-as « a Sidi », amek ihi yezmer ad yili d mmi-s ? Aṭas n lɣaci i s-yesmeḥsisen s lfeṛḥ.
38In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,
38Sidna Ɛisa yesselmad lɣaci yeqqaṛ-asen : ?adret daɣen iman-nwen ɣef yimusnawen n ccariɛa i gḥemmlen ad ḥewwsen s ijellaben iɣezfanen, ḥemmlen daɣen ad selmen fell-asen medden di leswaq ;
39 and the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts:
39țextiṛin imukan imezwura di leǧwameɛ akk-d imukan lɛali di tmeɣṛiwin, lameɛna
40 those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
40tețțen ayla n tuǧǧal ; ssiɣzifen taẓallit iwakken a ten-id-walin yemdanen. Lɛiqab-nsen ad yili d ameqqran !
41Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
41Sidna Ɛisa yella yeqqim deg umkan iqublen asenduq i deg srusun lewɛadi, yețmuqul amek srusuyen lɣaci lewɛadi-nsen. Aṭas n imeṛkantiyen yeggaren xiṛella n yedrimen.
42A poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins, literally, lepta (or widow’s mites). Lepta are very small brass coins worth half a quadrans each, which is a quarter of the copper assarion. Lepta are worth less than 1% of an agricultural worker’s daily wages. which equal a quadrans coin. A quadrans is a coin worth about 1/64 of a denarius. A denarius is about one day’s wages for an agricultural laborer.
42Tusa-d yiwet n taǧǧalt tigellilt tessers sin iṣurdiyen yesɛan azal n ṛebɛa twiztin n lfeṭṭa.
43He called his disciples to himself, and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,
43Sidna Ɛisa yessawel i inelmaden-is, yenna yasen : A wen-d-iniɣ tideț : lweɛda i tessers taǧǧalt-agi taẓawalit, tugar akk lewɛadi i ssersen wiyaḍ.
44 for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”
