Luke 20
1 On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
| ܘܗܘܐ ܒܚܕ ܡܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܘܡܤܒܪ ܩܡܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܥܡ ܩܫܝܫܐ |
2 They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
| ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܡܪ ܠܢ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܘܡܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܟ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܢܐ |
3 He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
| ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܫܐܠܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܝ |
4 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
| ܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ |
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
| ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܐܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܢ ܘܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܬܘܢܝܗܝ |
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
| ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܪܓܡ ܠܢ ܥܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܦܤܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܗܘ |
7 They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
| ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܝ |
8 Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ |
9 He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.
| ܘܫܪܝ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܥܡܐ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܢܨܒ ܟܪܡܐ ܘܐܘܚܕܗ ܠܦܠܚܐ ܘܐܒܥܕ ܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ |
10 At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.
| ܘܒܙܒܢܐ ܫܕܪ ܥܒܕܗ ܠܘܬ ܦܠܚܐ ܕܢܬܠܘܢ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܟܪܡܐ ܦܠܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܚܐܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܤܪܝܩ |
11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
| ܘܐܘܤܦ ܘܫܕܪ ܠܥܒܕܗ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܗܘ ܡܚܐܘܗܝ ܘܨܥܪܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܤܪܝܩ |
12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
| ܘܐܘܤܦ ܘܫܕܪ ܕܬܠܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܘܐܦ ܠܗܘ ܨܠܦܘܗܝ ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ |
13 The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
| ܐܡܪ ܡܪܐ ܟܪܡܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܐܫܕܪ ܒܪܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܟܒܪ ܢܚܙܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܬܟܚܕܘܢ |
14 “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
| ܟܕ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܦܠܚܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܢܘ ܝܪܬܐ ܬܘ ܢܩܛܠܝܘܗܝ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܢ |
15 Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
| ܘܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܟܪܡܐ ܘܩܛܠܘܗܝ ܡܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܥܒܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܐ ܟܪܡܐ |
16 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
| ܢܐܬܐ ܘܢܘܒܕ ܠܦܠܚܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܢܬܠ ܟܪܡܐ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܗܕܐ |
17 But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܚܪ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܘܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܝ ܕܟܬܝܒܐ ܕܟܐܦܐ ܕܐܤܠܝܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܗܝ ܗܘܬ ܠܪܝܫ ܩܪܢܐ ܕܙܘܝܬܐ |
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
| ܘܟܠ ܕܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܗܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܢܬܪܥܥ ܘܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܗܝ ܬܦܠ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܬܕܪܝܘܗܝ |
19 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.
| ܒܥܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܕܢܪܡܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ |
20 They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
| ܘܫܕܪܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܓܫܘܫܐ ܕܡܬܕܡܝܢ ܒܙܕܝܩܐ ܕܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܢܫܠܡܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܕܝܢܐ ܘܠܫܘܠܛܢܗ ܕܗܓܡܘܢܐ |
21 They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
| ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܬܪܝܨܐܝܬ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܬ ܘܡܠܦ ܘܠܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܬ ܒܐܦܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܠܦ ܐܢܬ |
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
| ܫܠܝܛ ܠܢ ܕܢܬܠ ܟܤܦ ܪܫܐ ܠܩܤܪ ܐܘ ܠܐ |
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܤܬܟܠ ܚܪܥܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܡܢܤܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ |
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
| ܚܘܐܘܢܝ ܕܝܢܪܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܨܠܡܐ ܘܟܬܝܒܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܕܩܤܪ |
25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܗܒܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܩܤܪ ܠܩܤܪ ܘܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ |
26 They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
| ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܡܐܚܕ ܡܢܗ ܡܠܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܬܕܡܪܘ ܥܠ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܘܫܬܩܘ |
27 Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
| ܩܪܒܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܙܕܘܩܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܘܫܐܠܘܗܝ |
28 They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
| ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܟܬܒ ܠܢ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܡܘܬ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܒܢܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܢܩܝܡ ܙܪܥܐ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ |
29 There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
| ܫܒܥܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܡܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܒܢܝܐ |
30 The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
| ܘܢܤܒܗ ܕܬܪܝܢ ܠܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܗܢܐ ܡܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܒܢܝܐ |
31 The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
| ܘܕܬܠܬܐ ܬܘܒ ܢܤܒܗ ܘܗܟܘܬ ܘܐܦ ܫܒܥܬܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܝܬܘ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܘ ܒܢܝܐ |
32 Afterward the woman also died.
| ܘܡܝܬܬ ܒܚܪܬܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܬܐ |
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
| ܒܩܝܡܬܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܐܝܢܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܫܒܥܬܝܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܢܤܒܘܗ |
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܢܤܒܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܘܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ (aiōn g165) |
35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
| ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܗܘ ܥܠܡܐ ܫܘܘ ܘܠܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܤܒܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܐ ܢܫܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ (aiōn g165) |
36 For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
| ܐܦܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܬܘܒ ܠܡܡܬ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܘܒܢܝܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܢܝܐ ܕܩܝܡܬܐ |
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
| ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܐܦ ܡܘܫܐ ܒܕܩ ܐܕܟܪ ܓܝܪ ܒܤܢܝܐ ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܝܤܚܩ ܘܐܠܗܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ |
38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
| ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܚܝܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܗ |
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
| ܘܥܢܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ |
40 They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
| ܘܠܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܡܪܚܘ ܠܡܫܐܠܘܬܗ ܥܠ ܡܕܡ |
41 He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
| ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܥܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܒܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܕܘܝܕ |
42 David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
| ܘܗܘ ܕܘܝܕ ܐܡܪ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܡܙܡܘܪܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܪܝ ܬܒ ܠܟ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܝ |
43 until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
| ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܤܝܡ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟ ܬܚܝܬ ܪܓܠܝܟ |
44 “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
| ܐܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܘܝܕ ܡܪܝ ܩܪܐ ܠܗ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܗܘ |
45 In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
| ܘܟܕ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ |
46 “Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
| ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܤܦܪܐ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܠܡܗܠܟܘ ܒܐܤܛܠܐ ܘܪܚܡܝܢ ܫܠܡܐ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܘܪܝܫ ܡܘܬܒܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܪܝܫ ܤܡܟܐ ܒܐܚܫܡܝܬܐ |
47 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
| ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܟܠܝܢ ܒܬܐ ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܒܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܘܪܟܝܢ ܨܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܩܒܠܘܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܝܬܝܪܐ |
