| 1 Και ηρχισε να λεγη προς αυτους δια παραβολων? Ανθρωπος τις εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα και περιεβαλεν εις αυτον φραγμον και εσκαψεν υποληνιον και ωκοδομησε πυργον, και εμισθωσεν αυτον εις γεωργους και απεδημησε. | 1 And he began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a pit for the wine press, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country. |
| 2 Και εν τω καιρω των καρπων απεστειλε προς τους γεωργους δουλον, δια να λαβη παρα των γεωργων απο του καρπου του αμπελωνος. | 2 When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. |
| 3 Εκεινοι δε πιασαντες αυτον εδειραν και απεπεμψαν κενον. | 3 And they took him and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. |
| 4 Και παλιν απεστειλε προς αυτους αλλον δουλον? και εκεινον λιθοβολησαντες, επληγωσαν την κεφαλην αυτου και απεπεμψαν ητιμωμενον. | 4 Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully. |
| 5 Και παλιν απεστειλεν αλλον? και εκεινον εφονευσαν, και πολλους αλλους, τους μεν εδειραν, τους δε εφονευσαν. | 5 And he sent another, and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they killed. |
| 6 Ετι λοιπον εχων ενα υιον, αγαπητον αυτου, απεστειλε και αυτον προς αυτους εσχατον, λεγων οτι θελουσιν εντραπη τον υιον μου. | 6 He had still one other, a beloved son; finally he sent him to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.' |
| 7 Εκεινοι δε οι γεωργοι ειπον προς αλληλους οτι ουτος ειναι ο κληρονομος? ελθετε, ας φονευσωμεν αυτον, και θελει εισθαι ημων η κληρονομια. | 7 But those tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' |
| 8 Και πιασαντες αυτον εφονευσαν και ερριψαν εξω του αμπελωνος. | 8 And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. |
| 9 Τι λοιπον θελει καμει ο κυριος του αμπελωνος; Θελει ελθει και απολεσει τους γεωργους και θελει δωσει τον αμπελωνα εις αλλους. | 9 What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and give the vineyard to others. |
| 10 Ουδε την γραφην ταυτην δεν ανεγνωσατε, Ο λιθος, τον οποιον απεδοκιμασαν οι οικοδομουντες, ουτος εγεινε κεφαλη γωνιας? | 10 Have you not read this scripture: 'The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; |
| 11 παρα Κυριου εγεινεν αυτη και ειναι θαυμαστη εν οφθαλμοις ημων. | 11 this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?" |
| 12 Και εζητουν να πιασωσιν αυτον και εφοβηθησαν τον οχλον? επειδη ενοησαν οτι προς αυτους ειπε την παραβολην? και αφησαντες αυτον ανεχωρησαν. | 12 And they tried to arrest him, but feared the multitude, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them; so they left him and went away. |
| 13 Και αποστελλουσι προς αυτον τινας των Φαρισαιων και των Ηρωδιανων, δια να παγιδευσωσιν αυτον εις λογον. | 13 And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodi-ans, to entrap him in his talk. |
| 14 Και εκεινοι ελθοντες, λεγουσι προς αυτον? Διδασκαλε, εξευρομεν οτι εισαι αληθης και δεν σε μελει περι ουδενος? διοτι δεν βλεπεις εις προσωπον ανθρωπων, αλλ' επ' αληθειας την οδον του Θεου διδασκεις. Ειναι συγκεχωρημενον να δωσωμεν δασμον εις τον Καισαρα, η ουχι; να δωσωμεν η να μη δωσωμεν; | 14 And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and care for no man; for you do not regard the position of men, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? |
| 15 Ο δε γνωρισας την υποκρισιν αυτων, ειπε προς αυτους? τι με πειραζετε; φερετε μοι δηναριον δια να ιδω. | 15 Should we pay them, or should we not?" But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why put me to the test? Bring me a coin, and let me look at it." |
| 16 Και εκεινοι εφεραν. Και λεγει προς αυτους? Τινος ειναι η εικων αυτη και η επιγραφη; οι δε ειπον προς αυτον? Του Καισαρος. | 16 And they brought one. And he said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said to him, "Caesars." |
| 17 Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτους? Αποδοτε τα του Καισαρος εις τον Καισαρα και τα του Θεου εις τον Θεον. Και εθαυμασαν δι' αυτον. | 17 Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesars, and to God the things that are Gods." And they were amazed at him. |
| 18 Και ερχονται προς αυτον Σαδδουκαιοι, οιτινες λεγουσιν οτι δεν ειναι αναστασις, και ηρωτησαν αυτον, λεγοντες? | 18 And Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him a question, saying, |
| 19 Διδασκαλε, ο Μωυσης μας εγραψεν οτι εαν αποθανη τινος ο αδελφος και αφηση γυναικα και τεκνα δεν αφηση, να λαβη ο αδελφος αυτου την γυναικα αυτου και να εξαναστηση σπερμα εις τον αδελφον αυτου. | 19 "Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother. |
| 20 Ησαν λοιπον επτα αδελφοι. Και ο πρωτος ελαβε γυναικα, και αποθνησκων δεν αφηκε σπερμα? | 20 There were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no children; |
| 21 και ελαβεν αυτην ο δευτερος και απεθανε, και ουδε αυτος αφηκε σπερμα? και ο τριτος ωσαυτως. | 21 and the second took her, and died, leaving no children; and the third likewise; |
| 22 Και ελαβον αυτην οι επτα, και δεν αφηκαν σπερμα. Τελευταια παντων απεθανε και η γυνη. | 22 and the seven left no children. Last of all the woman also died. |
| 23 Εν τη αναστασει λοιπον, οταν αναστηθωσι, τινος αυτων θελει εισθαι γυνη; διοτι και οι επτα ελαβον αυτην γυναικα. | 23 In the resurrection whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as wife." |
| 24 Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους, ειπε προς αυτους? Δεν πλανασθε δια τουτο, μη γνωριζοντες τας γραφας μηδε την δυναμιν του Θεου; | 24 Jesus said to them, "Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God? |
| 25 Διοτι οταν αναστηθωσιν εκ νεκρων ουτε νυμφευουσιν ουτε νυμφευονται, αλλ' ειναι ως αγγελοι οι εν τοις ουρανοις. | 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. |
| 26 Περι δε των νεκρων οτι ανιστανται, δεν ανεγνωσατε εν τη βιβλω του Μωυσεως, πως ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος επι της βατου, λεγων, Εγω ειμαι ο Θεος του Αβρααμ και ο Θεος του Ισαακ και ο Θεος του Ιακωβ; | 26 And as for the dead being raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? |
| 27 Δεν ειναι ο Θεος νεκρων, αλλα Θεος ζωντων? σεις λοιπον πλανασθε πολυ. | 27 He is not God of the dead, but of the living; you are quite wrong." |
| 28 Και προσελθων εις των γραμματεων, οστις ηκουσεν αυτους συζητουντας, γνωριζων οτι καλως απεκριθη προς αυτους, ηρωτησεν αυτον? Ποια εντολη ειναι πρωτη πασων; | 28 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, "Which commandment is the first of all?" |
| 29 Ο δε Ιησους απεκριθη προς αυτον οτι πρωτη πασων των εντολων ειναι? Ακουε Ισραηλ, Κυριος ο Θεος ημων ειναι εις Κυριος? | 29 Jesus answered, "The first is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one; |
| 30 και θελεις αγαπα Κυριον τον Θεον σου εξ ολης της καρδιας σου, και εξ ολης της ψυχης σου, και εξ ολης της διανοιας σου, και εξ ολης της δυναμεως σου? αυτη ειναι η πρωτη εντολη. | 30 and 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.' |
| 31 Και δευτερα ομοια, αυτη? Θελεις αγαπα τον πλησιον σου ως σεαυτον. Μεγαλητερα τουτων αλλη εντολη δεν ειναι. | 31 The second is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." |
| 32 Και ειπε προς αυτον ο γραμματευς? Καλως, Διδασκαλε, αληθως ειπας οτι ειναι εις Θεος, και δεν ειναι αλλος εκτος αυτου? | 32 And the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that he is one, and there is no other but he; |
| 33 και το να αγαπα τις αυτον εξ ολης της καρδιας και εξ ολης της συνεσεως και εξ ολης της ψυχης και εξ ολης της δυναμεως, και το να αγαπα τον πλησιον ως εαυτον, ειναι πλειοτερον παντων των ολοκαυτωματων και των θυσιων. | 33 and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices." |
| 34 Και ο Ιησους, ιδων αυτον οτι φρονιμως απεκριθη, ειπε προς αυτον? Δεν εισαι μακραν απο της βασιλειας του Θεου. Και ουδεις πλεον ετολμα να ερωτηση αυτον. | 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared to ask him any question. |
| 35 Και αποκριθεις ο Ιησους, ελεγε διδασκων εν τω ιερω? Πως λεγουσιν οι γραμματεις οτι ο Χριστος ειναι υιος του Δαβιδ; | 35 And as Jesus taught in the temple, he said, "How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? |
| 36 Διοτι αυτος ο Δαβιδ ειπε δια του Πνευματος του Αγιου? Ειπεν ο Κυριος προς τον Κυριον μου, Καθου εκ δεξιων μου, εωσου θεσω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου. | 36 David himself, inspired by the Holy Spirit, declared, 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thy enemies under thy feet.' |
| 37 Αυτος λοιπον ο Δαβιδ λεγει αυτον Κυριον? και ποθεν ειναι υιος αυτου; Και ο πολυς οχλος ηκουεν αυτον ευχαριστως. | 37 David himself calls him Lord; so how is he his son?" And the great throng heard him gladly. |
| 38 Και ελεγε προς αυτους εν τη διδαχη αυτου? Προσεχετε απο των γραμματεων, οιτινες θελουσι να περιπατωσιν εστολισμενοι και αγαπωσι τους ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις | 38 And in his teaching he said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go about in long robes, and to have salutations in the market places |
| 39 και πρωτοκαθεδριας εν ταις συναγωγαις και τους πρωτους τοπους εν τοις δειπνοις. | 39 and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts, |
| 40 Οιτινες κατατρωγουσι τας οικιας των χηρων, και τουτο επι προφασει οτι καμνουσι μακρας προσευχας? ουτοι θελουσι λαβει μεγαλητεραν καταδικην. | 40 who devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation." |
| 41 Και καθησας ο Ιησους απεναντι του γαζοφυλακιου, εθεωρει πως ο οχλος εβαλλε χαλκον εις το γαζοφυλακιον. Και πολλοι πλουσιοι εβαλλον πολλα? | 41 And he sat down opposite the treasury, and watched the multitude putting money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. |
| 42 και ελθουσα μια χηρα πτωχη εβαλε δυο λεπτα, τουτεστιν, ενα κοδραντην. | 42 And a poor widow came, and put in two copper coins, which make a penny. |
| 43 Και προσκαλεσας τους μαθητας αυτου, λεγει προς αυτους? Αληθως σας λεγω οτι η χηρα αυτη η πτωχη εβαλε περισσοτερον παντων, οσοι εβαλον εις το γαζοφυλακιον? | 43 And he called his disciples to him, and said to them, "Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury. |
| 44 διοτι παντες εκ του περισσευοντος εις αυτους εβαλον? αυτη ομως εκ του υστερηματος αυτης εβαλε παντα οσα ειχεν, ολην την περιουσιαν αυτης. | 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living." |
