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.

¹In začne jim govoriti v prilikah: Zasadil je človek vinograd in ga ogradil s plotom, in je izkopal klet in je sezidal stolp, in ga je izročil vinogradnikom, ter je odpotoval.

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.

²In ko je bilo čas, pošlje k vinogradnikom hlapca, da bi od vinogradnikov prejel pridelkov iz vinograda.

³ They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.

³Oni pa ga zgrabijo in pretepo in pošljejo praznega.

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.

⁴In zopet pošlje k njim drugega hlapca; in temu razbijejo glavo in ga osramoté.

⁵ Again he sent another; and they killed him; and many others, beating some, and killing some.

⁵In pošlje drugega, in tega ubijejo, in mnogo drugih, ki jih nekatere pretepo in nekatere ubijejo.

⁶ Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’

⁶Še enega je imel, sina ljubljenega: tega pošlje naposled k njim, rekoč: Sina mojega se bodo bali.

⁷ But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

⁷Oni pa, vinogradniki, reko med seboj: Ta je dedič. Pridite, ubijmo ga, in naša bo dediščina.

⁸ They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

⁸Ter ga zgrabijo in ubijejo, in ga vržejo ven iz vinograda.

⁹ What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.

⁹Kaj bo torej storil gospodar vinograda? Pride in vinogradnike pogubi, in vinograd dá drugim.

¹⁰ Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the head of the corner.

¹⁰Niste li brali tudi tega pisma: „Kamen, ki so ga zidarji zavrgli, ta je postal glava voglu;

¹¹ This was from the Lord, it is marvelous in our eyes’?” Psalm 118:22-23

¹¹od Gospoda se je zgodilo to, in čudno je v očeh naših“.

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.

¹²In gledali so, da bi ga ujeli, ali zbojé se ljudstva. Spoznali so namreč, da je zoper nje povedal to priliko. In pustili so ga ter odšli.

¹³They sent some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.

¹³In pošljejo k njemu nekatere farizejev in Herodovcev, da bi ga ujeli v besedi.

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?

¹⁴In ko pridejo, mu reko: Učenik, vemo, da si resničen, in ti ni nikogar mar, kajti ne gledaš ljudem na lice, temuč v resnici učiš pot Božjo. Ali je prav dati cesarju davek ali ne? Naj ga damo ali ne damo?

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.”

¹⁵On pa, ker je spoznal njih hinavstvo, jim reče: Kaj me izkušate? Prinesite mi denar, da pogledam.

¹⁶They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”

¹⁶Oni pa prineso. In jim reče: Čigava je ta podoba in napis? Oni mu pa reko: Cesarjeva.

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.

¹⁷Jezus pa jim veli: Dajte cesarju, kar je cesarjevega, in Bogu, kar je Božjega. In silno se mu začudijo.

¹⁸There came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. They asked him, saying,

¹⁸In pridejo k njemu saduceji, ki pravijo, da ni vstajenja, in ga vprašajo, govoreč:

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.’

¹⁹Učenik! Mojzes nam je napisal: Če komu brat umre in zapusti ženo, otrok pa ne zapusti, naj vzame njegov brat ženo njegovo in zbudi seme bratu svojemu.

²⁰There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.

²⁰Bilo je sedem bratov; in prvi vzame ženo in umre, in ne zapusti zaroda.

²¹The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;

²¹In vzame jo drugi in umre, ne zapustivši zaroda. Tudi tretji tako.

²²and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.

²²In vseh sedem ne zapusti zaroda. Naposled za vsemi umre tudi žena.

²³In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”

²³Ob vstajenju torej, ko vstanejo, čigava izmed jih bo žena? Kajti sedmeri so jo imeli za ženo.

²⁴Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?

²⁴Jezus jim reče: Se li ne motite zato, ker ne poznate pisem, ne moči Božje?

²⁵ For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

²⁵Kadar namreč iz mrtvih vstanejo, se ne ženijo in ne možé, ampak so kakor angeli v nebesih.

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 ?

²⁶Za mrtve pa, da vstajajo, niste li brali v Mojzesovi knjigi, pri grmu, kako mu je Bog govoril, rekoč: „Jaz sem Bog Abrahamov in Bog Izakov in Bog Jakobov“?

²⁷ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”

²⁷On ni Bog mrtvih, ampak živih. Zelo se motite.

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?”

²⁸In pristopi eden pismarjev, ki je slišal, kako so se prepirali, in ker je videl, da jim je dobro odgovoril, ga vpraša: Katera je prva zapoved od vseh?

²⁹Jesus answered, “The greatest is, ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one:

²⁹Jezus odgovori: Prva je: „Sliši, Izrael! Gospod, naš Bog, je edini Gospod.

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.

³⁰In ljubi Gospoda, Boga svojega, iz vsega srca svojega in iz vse duše svoje in iz vse pameti svoje in iz vse moči svoje.“

³¹ The second is like this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ Leviticus 19:18 There is no other commandment greater than these.”

³¹Druga je ta: „Ljubi bližnjega svojega kakor samega sebe“. Večje od teh ni druge zapovedi.

³²The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he,

³²In reče mu pismar: Dobro, učenik; po resnici si povedal, da je Bog eden, in da ni drugega razen njega;

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.”

³³in ljubiti ga iz vsega srca in iz vse pameti in iz vse moči, in bližnjega ljubiti kakor samega sebe: to je več od vseh žgalnih žrtev in daritev.

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.

³⁴In Jezus, videč, da je pametno odgovoril, mu reče: Nisi daleč od kraljestva Božjega. In nihče si ga ni upal več vprašati.

³⁵Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?

³⁵In Jezus odgovori in reče, učeč v templju: Kako pravijo pismarji, da je Kristus sin Davidov?

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

³⁶Sam David je dejal v svetem Duhu: „Rekel je Gospod Gospodu mojemu: Sedi na desnico mojo, dokler ne položim sovražnikov tvojih nogam tvojim za podnožje“.

³⁷ Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.

³⁷Sam David ga imenuje Gospoda; odkod pa je on sin njegov? In preprosto ljudstvo ga je rado poslušalo.

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,

³⁸In govoril jim je v nauku svojem: Varujte se pismarjev, ki radi hodijo v dolgih suknjah in ljubijo pozdrave po ulicah

³⁹ and the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts:

³⁹in prve stole po shodnicah in prva mesta pri gostijah;

⁴⁰ those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

⁴⁰ki požirajo vdovam hiše in na videz opravljajo dolge molitve. Ti bodo prejeli ostrejšo sodbo.

⁴¹Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.

⁴¹In sede Jezus temepljskemu zakladu nasproti in gleda, kako meče ljudstvo denar v zakladnico; in veliko bogatih je metalo mnogo.

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.

⁴²In pride vdova uboga in vrže dva denarca, kar je en vinar.

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,

⁴³In pokliče učence svoje in jim reče: Resnično vam pravim, da je ta vdova uboga vrgla več nego vsi, ki mečejo v zakladnico:kajti vsi so vrgli od obilnosti svoje, ta pa je od uboštva svojega vrgla vse, kar je imela, ves živež svoj.

⁴⁴ for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”

⁴⁴kajti vsi so vrgli od obilnosti svoje, ta pa je od uboštva svojega vrgla vse, kar je imela, ves živež svoj.
