XXII.
Kēneņa kōzu mīlasts.
1 Un Jezus atbyldādams stōsteja jim otkon pīleidzeibōs, saceidams:
2 Dabasu vaļsteiba ir pīleidzynojama kēneņam, kurs sataiseja sovam dālam kōzas. 3 Un syuteidams sovus kolpus, aicynōja īlyugtūs īsarast kōzōs; bet tī nagribēja īt. 4 Tad otkon jys nūsyuteja cytus kolpus, saceidams: Pasokit īlyugtajim: Raug, muna mīlasts jau sagatavōta, muni vērši un barūtni nūkauti, un vyss ir sagatavōts; ejte uz kōzom. 5-6 Bet jī, nagrīzdami vēreibas, nūgōja kotrs sovu ceļu: vīns uz sovu teirumu, cyts otkon uz sovu tērgōtovu, bet pōrejī uzbruka jō kolpim, dareja jim pōresteibas un jūs nūnōvēja. 7 Tad kēneņš aizadusmōja un, nūsyutejis sovus karapulkus, nūnōvēja slapkovas un sadadzynōja jūs mīstu. 8 Pēc tō pasaceja sovim koļpim: Kōzas gon sagatavōtas, bet īlyugtī nabeja cīneigi. 9 Ejte tad uz krystcelim, un kū vīn sastopsit, aicynojit kōzōs. 10 Izgōjuši koļpi uz celim, saaicynōja vysus, kurus tik satyka, ļaunūs un lobūs; un kōzu ustoba pīsapildeja cīmenim. 11 Īgōjis kēneņš apsavārtu tūs, kas beja pi golda, īraudzeja tur vīnu cylvāku, kas nabeja gērbīs kōzu drēbēs un saceja tam: 12 Draugs, kai tu šite īgōji, naturādams kōzu drēbu? Bet tys klusēja. 13 Tad kēneņš pavēlēja sovim koļpim: Sasīnit jam rūkas un kōjas un izsvīdit jū ōrejā tymsumā. Tur byus raudōšona un zūbu grīzšona. 14 Jo daudz ir aicynōtu, bet moz izlaseitu.
Nūdūkļu jautōjums.
15 Pēc tam farizeji aizgōja prūjom un pōrsprīde sevī, kai Jū nūkert runā. 16 Un tōdēļ syuteja pi Jō sovus mōcekļus reizē ar Eroda pīkritējim un lyka pavaicōt: Mōceitōj, mes zynom, ka Tu esi taisneigs, un patīseibā mōci Dīva ceļu un nasaraugi ni uz kō, jo Tu nagrīz vēreibas uz cylvāku vaiga. 17 Pasoki tad mums, kai Tev rōdōs, vai pīkreit moksōt keizaram nūdūkļus vai nē?
18 Jezus, pazinis jūs viļteibu, teice: 19 Līkuli, kōdēļ Mani kārdynojat? Parōdit Maņ nūdūkļu naudas zeimi! Un jī pasnēdze Jam denaru. 20 Jys pavaicōja nu jim: Kō šytei biļde un uzroksts? Tī Jam atbiļdēja: Keizara. 21 Tad Jys tim saceja: Kas ir keizara, atdūdit keizaram; bet kas ir Dīva, tū — Dīvam. 22 Tū izdzērduši, nūsabreinōja, un pamatuši Jū, nūgōja prūjom.
Mīsas augšanceļšonōs.
23 Tamā pat dīnā atgōjuši sadduceji, kuri nūlīdz mīsas augšanceļšonūs, vaicōja: 24 Mōceitōj, Moizešs ir teicis: Jo kas nūmērtu, napametis dāla, lai tad jō brōļs precej jō sīvu, ka pamest brōļam paaudzi. 25 Beja tad pi mums septeni brōli. Pyrmais apsaprecēja un nūmyra, un, napametis augļa, sovu sīvu pamete brōļam. 26 Tys pat nūtyka ar ūtrū, trešū — leidz septeitajam. 27 Golu‐golā pēc visim nūmyra ari poša sīvīte. 28 Kuram nu tim septenim pīdarēs tei sīvīte augšanceļšonā? Jo visim tadei jei beja sīva.
29 Jezus tim atbiļdēja: Jyus moldotēs, naprosdami ni Rokstu, ni Dīva vareibas. 30 Augšancālušīs tadei ni precejās, ni precej, bet gon dzeivoj dabasūs, kai Dīva eņgeli. 31 Jyus, laikam, naasat lasejuši tūs vōrdu, kurus Dīvs par augšancālušim nu myrūnim jums saceja. 32 Es asmu Abraama Dīvs, Izaaka Dīvs, un Jākuba Dīvs. Tadei na myrušūs Dīvs, bet gon dzeivūs.
33 Ļaužu puļki, tū dzērdādami, apbreinōja Jō mōceibu.
Lelōkō bausleiba.
34 Bet farizeji, izdzērduši, ka Jys pīspīde sadducejus klusēt, sagōja vīnuvīt. 35 Vīns nu jim Lykuma zynōtōjs kārdynōja Jū saceidams: 36 Mōceitōj, kurō bausleiba ir lykumā vyssvareigōkō?
37 Jys tam atbiļdēja: Mīļōj Kungu, sovu Dīvu nu vysas sirds, nu vysas sovas dvēseles un nu vysa sova prōta. 38 Šytei ir tei pyrmō un vyssvareigōkō bausleiba. 39 Jai leidzeiga ir ūtra: Mīļōj sovu tyvōkū, kai pats sevi. 40 Šytamōs divejōs bausleibōs pastōv vyss lykums un pravīši.
Davida dāls.
41 Jezus vaicōja nu sasalasejušim vinuvit farizejim: 42 Kū jyus dūmojat par Kristu? Kō dāls Jys ir? — Davida, atbiļdēja tī. 43 Tad Jys vaicōja tōļōk: Kai tad Davids gorā sauc Jū par kungu saceidams:
44 Kungs ir teicis munam kungam:
sēstīs Maņ par lobajai rūkai,
koleidz es paguļdeišu tovus īnaidnīkus
tovom kōjom par pamēsli.
45 Jo Davids sauc Jū par kungu, kai tad Jys var byut jō dāls?
46 Bet nivīns navarēja Jam uz šytō atbiļdēt. Un nu tōs dīnas nivīns vairs naīsadrūšynōja kaut kū nu Jō vaicōt.
The Great Banquet
(Luke 14.15-24)
1 Once again Jesus used stories to teach the people:
2 The kingdom of heaven is like what happened when a king gave a wedding banquet for his son. 3 The king sent some servants to tell the invited guests to come to the banquet, but the guests refused. 4 He sent other servants to say to the guests, “The banquet is ready! My cattle and prize calves have all been prepared. Everything is ready. Come to the banquet!”
5 But the guests did not pay any attention. Some of them left for their farms, and some went to their places of business. 6 Others grabbed the servants, then beat them up and killed them.
7 This made the king so furious that he sent an army to kill those murderers and burn down their city. 8 Then he said to the servants, “It is time for the wedding banquet, and the invited guests don't deserve to come. 9 Go out to the street corners and tell everyone you meet to come to the banquet.” 10 They went out on the streets and brought in everyone they could find, good and bad alike. And the banquet room was filled with guests.
11 When the king went in to meet the guests, he found that one of them wasn't wearing the right kind of clothes for the wedding. 12 The king asked, “Friend, why didn't you wear proper clothes for the wedding?” But the guest had no excuse. 13 So the king gave orders for this person to be tied hand and foot and to be thrown outside into the dark. That's where people will cry and grit their teeth in pain. 14 Many are invited, but only a few are chosen.
Paying Taxes
(Mark 12.13-17Luke 20.20-26)
15 The Pharisees got together and planned how they could trick Jesus into saying something wrong. 16 They sent some of their followers and some of Herod's followers to say to him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest. You teach the truth about what God wants people to do. And you treat everyone with the same respect, no matter who they are. 17 Tell us what you think! Should we pay taxes to the Emperor or not?”
18 Jesus knew their evil thoughts and said, “Why are you trying to test me? You show-offs! 19 Let me see one of the coins used for paying taxes.” They brought him a silver coin, 20 and he asked, “Whose picture and name are on it?”
21 “The Emperor's,” they answered.
Then Jesus told them, “Give the Emperor what belongs to him and give God what belongs to God.” 22 His answer surprised them so much that they walked away.
Life in the Future World
(Mark 12.18-27Luke 20.27-40)
23 The Sadducees did not believe people would rise to life after death. So that same day some of the Sadducees came to Jesus and said:
24 Teacher, Moses wrote that if a married man dies and has no children, his brother should marry the widow. Their first son would then be thought of as the son of the dead brother.
25 Once there were seven brothers who lived here. The first one married, but died without having any children. So his wife was left to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brothers and finally to all seven of them. 27 At last the woman died. 28 When God raises people from death, whose wife will this woman be? She had been married to all seven brothers.
29 Jesus answered:
You are completely wrong! You don't know what the Scriptures teach. And you don't know anything about the power of God. 30 When God raises people to life, they won't marry. They will be like the angels in heaven. 31 And as for people being raised to life, God was speaking to you when he said, 32 “I am the God worshiped by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” He isn't the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 The crowds were surprised to hear what Jesus was teaching.
The Most Important Commandment
(Mark 12.28-34Luke 10.25-28)
34 After Jesus had made the Sadducees look foolish, the Pharisees heard about it and got together. 35 One of them was an expert in the Jewish Law. So he tried to test Jesus by asking, 36 “Teacher, what is the most important commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus answered:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. 38 This is the first and most important commandment. 39 The second most important commandment is like this one. And it is, “Love others as much as you love yourself.” 40 All the Law of Moses and the Books of the Prophets are based on these two commandments.
About David's Son
(Mark 12.35-37Luke 20.41-44)
41 While the Pharisees were still there, Jesus asked them, 42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose family will he come from?”
They answered, “He will be a son of King David.”
43 Jesus replied, “How then could the Spirit lead David to call the Messiah his Lord? David said,

44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord:
Sit at my right side
until I make your enemies
into a footstool for you.’

45 If David called the Messiah his Lord, how can the Messiah be a son of King David?” 46 No one was able to give Jesus an answer, and from that day on, no one dared ask him any more questions.
