12:01 |
And he began to speak to them in "parables" ... |
| |
A man
planted a vineyard ... |
| |
and he put a stone dike around it ... |
| |
and he under-dug a vat ... |
| |
and he home-made a tower ... |
| |
and he leased it out to land workers ... |
| |
and he
went away. |
| 12:02 |
And he
sent a slave to the land workers in the season |
| |
so that
he might receive from the land workers the fruits of
the vineyard. |
| 12:03 |
And having seized him, "skinned" (him) ... |
| |
and they
sent him away empty. |
| 12:04 |
And again,
he sent them another slave |
| |
and that one they "headed" and insulted. |
| 12:05 |
And he sent out another ... |
| |
and they killed that one. |
| |
And many others ... some "skinning" ... |
| |
and others killing. |
| 12:06 |
Then, still having his one beloved son ... |
| |
finally, he sent him before them, saying that they would respect
my son. |
| 12:07 |
But those (other) land-workers said to themselves that this one is the heir! ... Come on,
let's kill him! ... |
| |
and the "inheritance" will be ours. |
| 12:08 |
And having seized him ... |
| |
they killed him ... |
| |
and they cast him out of the vineyard. |
| 12:09 |
What then will the Lord of the vineyard do? |
| |
He shall come and destroy the land workers ... |
| |
and he will give the vineyard to others. |
| 12:10 |
Have you not read this scripture? |
| |
A stone which the home-builders rejected
... |
| |
This (stone) has come to be in a "head of a corner." |
| 12:11 |
This came to be from the Lord ... |
| |
and it is amazing in our eyes. |
| 12:12 |
And they were seeking to seize him. |
| |
And they were afraid of the crowd
... |
| |
because they knew the parable he told was against them. |
| |
And leaving him, they went away. |
