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;

1One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.

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

2“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

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

3“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

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

4John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

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

5They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

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

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

7Ya manmanope na ti jatungo guine mano.

7So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

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

8And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Ya 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.

9Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

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.

10At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

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

11So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

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

12Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

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

13‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

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

14But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

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

15So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

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

16He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”

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?

17But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

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

18Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Ya 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.

19When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.

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.

20So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.

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.

21“Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

22Tunas na infanmanaejam si Sesat tributo, pat aje?

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

23Lao jatungoja y mañañija, ya ilegña nu sija:

23But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

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

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

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

25So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

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

26And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

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

27Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

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.

28“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

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

29Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless.

30Ya inasagua y palaoan ni y miná dos;

30Then the second

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

31and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Ya y palaoan uttimo matae locue.

32And last of all, the woman died.

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

33So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

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

34Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

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

35But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

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

36In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.

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

37Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

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

38He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

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

39Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

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

40And they did not dare to question Him any further.

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

41Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

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

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

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

43until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

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

44Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

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

45In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

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;

46“Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

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

47They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
