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 Parable of the Wedding Feast
(Luke 14.15-24)
1 Jesus again used parables in talking to the people. 2 “The Kingdom of heaven is like this. Once there was a king who prepared a wedding feast for his son. 3 He sent his servants to tell the invited guests to come to the feast, but they did not want to come. 4 So he sent other servants with this message for the guests: ‘My feast is ready now; my steers and prize calves have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast!’ 5 But the invited guests paid no attention and went about their business: one went to his farm, another to his store, 6 while others grabbed the servants, beat them, and killed them. 7 The king was very angry; so he sent his soldiers, who killed those murderers and burned down their city. 8 Then he called his servants and said to them, ‘My wedding feast is ready, but the people I invited did not deserve it. 9 Now go to the main streets and invite to the feast as many people as you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, good and bad alike; and the wedding hall was filled with people.
11 “The king went in to look at the guests and saw a man who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 ‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ the king asked him. But the man said nothing. 13 Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him up hand and foot, and throw him outside in the dark. There he will cry and gnash his teeth.’”
14 And Jesus concluded, “Many are invited, but few are chosen.”
The Question about Paying Taxes
(Mark 12.13-17Luke 20.20-26)
15 The Pharisees went off and made a plan to trap Jesus with questions. 16 Then they sent to him some of their disciples and some members of Herod's party. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you tell the truth. You teach the truth about God's will for people, without worrying about what others think, because you pay no attention to anyone's status. 17 Tell us, then, what do you think? Is it against our Law to pay taxes to the Roman Emperor, or not?”
18 Jesus, however, was aware of their evil plan, and so he said, “You hypocrites! Why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin for paying the tax!”
They brought him the coin, 20 and he asked them, “Whose face and name are these?”
21 “The Emperor's,” they answered.
So Jesus said to them, “Well, then, pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and pay to God what belongs to God.”
22 When they heard this, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.
The Question about Rising from Death
(Mark 12.18-27Luke 20.27-40)
23 That same day some Sadducees came to Jesus and claimed that people will not rise from death. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses said that if a man who has no children dies, his brother must marry the widow so that they can have children who will be considered the dead man's children. 25 Now, there were seven brothers who used to live here. The oldest got married and died without having children, so he left his widow to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second brother, to the third, and finally to all seven. 27 Last of all, the woman died. 28 Now, on the day when the dead rise to life, whose wife will she be? All of them had married her.”
29 Jesus answered them, “How wrong you are! It is because you don't know the Scriptures or God's power. 30 For when the dead rise to life, they will be like the angels in heaven and will not marry. 31 Now, as for the dead rising to life: haven't you ever read what God has told you? He said, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ He is the God of the living, not of the dead.”
33 When the crowds heard this, they were amazed at his teaching.
The Great Commandment
(Mark 12.28-34Luke 10.25-28)
34 When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they came together, 35 and one of them, a teacher of the Law, tried to trap him with a question. 36 “Teacher,” he asked, “which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and the most important commandment. 39 The second most important commandment is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ 40 The whole Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
The Question about the Messiah
(Mark 12.35-37Luke 20.41-44)
41 When some Pharisees gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose descendant is he?”
“He is David's descendant,” they answered.
43 “Why, then,” Jesus asked, “did the Spirit inspire David to call him ‘Lord’? David said,
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord:
Sit here at my right side
until I put your enemies under your feet.’
45 If, then, David called him ‘Lord,’ how can the Messiah be David's descendant?”
46 No one was able to give Jesus any answer, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.
