Luka 20
1 I wa diku nlon liri, na YEsu wadin dursuzu na nite nanya kutii nlira nin belu nani utiru Kutelle, adidya kutii nlire nang nanan niyerte daa kiti me nan na kukune ntardu nacara alau.
One 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.
2 I benle ulire, I woroghe, “Benle nari nin liyapin licarari udin su ka katwa we? Sa ghari ule na anafi lo likare?”
“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”
3 A kpana a woro nani, “Meng wang ba tirin minu imemong.
“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:
4 Belenni ubelen inshintun Yohana, Uwa nuzu kiti Kutelle aria. Sa kiti na nit?”
John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 I kpilza nati mene, I benle, “Ti wa woro, 'kitene kani,' a ba benlu, 'too iyarin taa na iyina yina nin ghe ba?'
They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
6 Tutung ti ma belin 'unuzu na nitari,' anite vat ma fil su nari nin natala bara na iyire Yohana wadi unam liru nin nuu Kutelleari.”
But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
7 I kawa au na iyiru kite na a nuzuku ba.
So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
8 Yesu woro nani, “Na meng ma belin minu nin liyapin likarari in din su ale adodwe.
And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
9 A taa anite ntun tiwankare, “Umung wa bilisu kunem, anaa among ukewe, anya udu nkankipin a di dandaun ku.
Then 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.
10 Na kubi da atoo kucin me udu kitin nanan kye kunene, au inighe kumat kuce, bara nani anan kye kunene fooghe, inin kooghe nin na cara akone.
At 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.
11 A kuru a too nkun kucin me ikuru I fooghe, I naghe incin, inin kooghe nin na cara akone.
So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
12 A kuru a too unan tat ikuru I lanzaghe ukul, inin fillinghe indas.
Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
13 Bara nani Cikilari kunene woro, 'I yanghari mba ti? Na ntoo gononsunighe. Mbuti ima yenu ngongonme.'
‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’
14 Bara nani naiyeneghe ncinu, I munu ati I woro, 'Ulelere unan nlin gadu kunen kune, dan ti molughe, ugadwe nan soo unbit.'
But 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.’
15 I fillinghe mamal kunene, inin mologhe. Iyari unan kunene ma tii nani?
So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 Ama dak ada mulsu nani, anin ni amon kunene.” Na I lanza, I woro, “Kutelle sauke.”
He 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!”
17 Bara nani Yesu yene nani, anin woro, “Iyari ile I yerte din belu? 'Litala loo na anan kye kilare nari, linnere nda so lin tune kilare'?
But 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’?
18 Vat nle na a deu kitene litala lile ama putuzu agerager. Bara nani bat ne na litale ndeu liti me lima yarughe.”
Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
19 Bara nani anan niyerte nin na didya kutii nlire wa piziru I kifoghe nanya kuni kube, bara na I yino a wasu too tiwankare nati menere. Bara nani I wa lanza feu nanite.
When 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.
20 I yenjeghe mseen, I too anan gbizinu kipin ita nafo anit alau, inan se ufanu nliru me, bara inan kifoghe inakpa anan natet tigoo ngumna.
So 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.
21 I tirighe, I benle, “Unan dursusu, ti yiru udin dursuzu ubele dert, na umon din rusuzu fiba, bara nani udin dursuzu kedegene udu libau Kutelle.
“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.
22 Udukari kiti bite ti ni Kaisar ku uganu bite sa babu?”
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23 Bara nani Yesu yinno kujinjin mene, a woro nani,
But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,
24 “Dursuni fikubu, kuyeli nghari, nin lisa du kitene fin nin?” I woro “Un Kaisar.”
“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
25 A woro nani, “Naan Kaisar ku imun ile na idi un Kaisar, nin Kutelle imun ile na idi in Kutelle.”
So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
26 Anan miyerte nan nadidya kutii nlire na iwa yinin unari ni mon ile na awa belen nbun nanite ba. I lanza umamaki nkawu me na ibenle uliru ba.
And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
27 Na amon Asandukiyawa nda kiti me, ale na I wa woro na ufitun yii duku ba,
Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
28 I tiringhe, I benle, “Ku mallami, Musa wa yertin nari a woro, gwana nmung wa kuu nin ulani, na I mara ba, unite yira uwanin gwana me, a maraghe gono ku.
“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.
29 Nwana wa duku imun kuzur, unan burne yira urani, a kuu na imaraba,
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless.
30 unan mba me wang nanere.
Then the second
31 Unan tate udu unan zurre nanere na imara ba,
and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
32 na ikala ayeri uwane kuu wang.
And last of all, the woman died.
33 Lirin fitun yii ama yitu uwani ngha nany mene? Bara na ma suzu ilugma min wane?”
So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 Bara nani ale na idumna nani ise iduru useru nanan fitu unuzum kul inin piru ulai sa ligang na idin suzu ilugma sa i nakpa uwani ba. (aiōn g165)
But 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. (aiōn g165)
36 Na I ba kuru I kuu tutung ba, bara na isoo nafo nono kadura Kutelle, inun nso nono Kutelle.
In 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.
37 Bara nani iba feu abe, Musa wang I wa durughe, mbeleng kitene na a wadi kusho kikaa na awa yicila Ucef Kutellen Ibrahim, Kutellen Ishaku, nin Kutellen Yakub.
Even 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.’
38 Nene na ame Kutelle nanan nkulari ba ama kun nanan nlaiyari, bara na vat di nin nlai udu kiti me.”
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”
39 Among anan niyerte kpana iworo “Ku mallami ukpana caut.”
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”
40 Bara nani ikuru I tiringhe imemon turtung ba.
And they did not dare to question Him any further.
41 Yesu woro nani, “I yizieri I din belu au Kristi gono Daudari?
Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
42 Bara na Dauda litime wa belen nanya niyert in Zabura, Ucife wa woro Ucif nighe, 'Soo incara ulime ning,
For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
43 sai dai nta anan narife kitin cisu na bunu fe.'
until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
44 Nanere Dauda yicila Kristiku 'Ucif' a suu usaun Dauda nene?”
Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
45 Natuf nanit vat a woro nono kadura me,
In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,
46 “Sun insen nin nanang niyert, ale na idinin su I cinu nanya nalutuk ajajangaran, nin su nilip icine nanya tikasau, nin niti lisosin nididya nanya natii nlira, nin niti nididya niti tibuki.
“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.
47 Ikuru idin nanzu ninari nawani ale na ales mene nakuzu, nin nlira mijakaka kirusuzo. Alele maseru ukul udindya.”
They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
