Luke 20
1 Nau hethauwuu, henee jasaa hena hesee, denausunauthedade henanedanede vadanedaunauauwuu, nau haeauthedaude waunauyaunee hethadenee, najanauau vevethahevahehauau nau wauthaunauhāhehau haeedasaa nauguu vachaugananenau,
One day [during that week, Jesus] was teaching the people in the Temple [courtyard] and telling them [God’s] good message. As he was doing that, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and [other Jewish] elders came to him.
2 Nau hanaāanadethauthee, Jeauthedaunāa, hayew hāenaudahede hāenesedaude nuu hayauhuhau? wauāthe hanaa henee havenāde nuu hāenaudahede?
They asked him, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like you did here yesterday]?”
3 Nau hanaāauchuhananāedauwunaude, Nechau hadnaudedaunathana hanesadee hayewhu; nau hadjeāedauwuneva:
He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,
4 Heedusaayāde Jaun, gauhuhuthaune hejavaa, wauāthe hehethee henanedaa? hathauhuk.
where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God [MTY/EUP] or from people?”
5 Nau haeeegaugaugauudenauau, hith hesauhesenehethaunauaugu, hehethee hejavaa; hahagaunee, Naudu haejethauwaudaunauna? hanāthānauau.
They discussed this among themselves. They said, “[If we(inc) say], ‘[It was] from God [MTY/EUP],’ he will say to us, ‘[Then] (you should have believed John’s [message]!/why did you not believe what John preached?) [RHQ]’
6 Hau hethaunauaugu, hehethee henanedaa; Vahee henanedanede hanāedaudauauvānauau hauunaugāe, hanau hethauwaenaunauthee henee Jauneau dauhaeyānith.
But if we say, ‘It was [from] people,’ the people [here] will [kill us by] throwing stones at us, because they [all] believe that John was a prophet [from God].”
7 Nau haeāedauwunanauau, daujeneauthedaunauthee daunathaunee.
So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
8 Nau Hejavaneauthusau hanaāāedauwunaude, Daudause gauhaudnauthedaunathava daun nāenaudahede nāenesedaude nuu hayauhuhau.
Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
9 Hanaāejasesanadedauau henanedanede heee dajenehede; Jasaa henane haejenane dadajevenevesenethauchayau, nau haeehathauauauwujethāhehau, nau haejathāau hesee vavāaune vedauauwuu haegudaunā.
Then Jesus told the people this parable [to illustrate what God would do to the Jews who rejected the former prophets and himself]: “A [certain] man planted a vineyard. He rented the vineyard to some men [to care for it and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went to another country and stayed there several years.
10 Hāenauauchaunee haeyethautheava wauwaune hesee thauauauwujethāhehau, henee hadjevenāde vevenaudenau hehethee dadajevenevesenethauchayaunaa: hau haeneneseguhuu, nau haejathethajenāhee jessaa.
When [the vines started producing] grapes, he sent a servant to the men who were taking care of the vineyard. He expected that they would give him some of the grapes that the vineyard had produced. But [after the servant arrived], they beat him and they did not give him any grapes. They [just] sent him away.
11 Nau jea haeyethautheava jachau wauwaune; nau haeneneseguhunauau jea, haedadayānauchuhanauau, nau haejathethajenāhee jessaa.
[Later], [the owner] sent another servant. But they beat him and mistreated him [also]. They sent him away without giving him any grapes.
12 Nau jea haeyethautheave nanaseauwaunee: nau haeanasenehanauau jea, nau haenuguthanauau.
[Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
13 Hanaāenehede hadāhevāhe dadajevenevesaa, Hewauaujeesedaunaune? Hadautheawauau navechauthau nāa: Nauchāe hadeneehauthee hāenauhauwaunauthe.
So the owner of the vineyard thought to himself, ‘(I do not know what to do!/What shall I do?) [RHQ]’ [Then he had an idea. He thought to himself], ‘I will send my son, [whom I] love [very much]. Perhaps they will respect him [and give him my share of the grapes].’
14 Hau thauauauwujethāhehauau hāenauhauwauthee, haegaugaugauudenauau, Naa nananede hadvanehanāde: nahājauau hadenauaune, henee headevanehanahedaunau hadenehanahenauau.
[So he sent his son], but when the men who were caring for the vineyard saw him [coming], they said to each other, ‘Here [comes] the man who will [some day] inherit [the vineyard]. Let’s kill him so that this vineyard will be ours!’
15 Hanaāenuguthauthee dadajevenevesenethauchayaunaa, nau haenaanauau. Haudneduseha hadāhevāhe dadajevenevesenethauchayaunaa?
So they dragged him outside the vineyard and they killed him. So (I will tell you what the owner of the vineyard will do to them!/do you know what the owner of the vineyard will do to them?) [RHQ]
16 Hadejaude nau hadnauauhaude nuu thauauauwujethāhehau, nau hadgauchuhuvāde dadajevenevesenethauchayau, hathauhuk, Nau hāenedauwauduu, hadnehauwunaasau, hahagaunee.
He will come and kill those men who were taking care of the vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.” When the people listening to Jesus heard that, they said, “[We would] not do anything like those wicked men did!”
17 Nau haenāauhauva, nau hanaāāedauwunaude, Dusau nuu henee wauthaunauhuu, Hauunauganau hauauvāhehauau hausāguthaunenau, hanānanenith hāhe hanadāde nedautheaunee?
But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “You can say that, [but think about] the meaning of these words that are written {which [a prophet] wrote} [RHQ] [in the Scriptures], The men who were building a house rejected a certain stone. But others put that same stone in its proper place, and it has become the most important stone in the building [MET].
18 Daun janesee dasee nuu hauunaugane hadthauusee, hau dasejaneseagu hanānauchauwuthauathāaunaude.
[That stone represents me, the Messiah], and those who reject me are [like people who fall on this stone]. Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces {This stone will break to pieces everyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
19 Nau najanauau vevethahehehauau nau wauthaunauhāhehauau chauchaunu haegaugauanavanauau hadnesedanauthee; nau haeedauwu henanedanede heee dauhāenuu henee dauhuanadede nuu dajenehede heee.
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws realized that he was accusing them when he told the parable [about what those wicked men did]. So they immediately tried to find a way to seize [MTY] him, but [they did not seize him, because] they were afraid of [what] the people [there would do if they did that].
20 Nau haeaunauyauhauvanauau, nau haeautheavanauau haunauyauhauthāhehau, hadnanadaunethānethe hadchuvāhevathe henanenau, henee hadnesedanauwunethe hedanadedaunau, henee hadenauuchaudaunauthee hejadenenau nau naunaudāhenethe hauchuwunanene.
So they watched him carefully. They also hired (spies/secret agents) who pretended to be sincere. [But] they really wanted to get him to say something for [which they could accuse] him. They wanted to be able to turn him over to the authority of the governor [of the province. But they also knew that the Jews were disgusted with having to pay taxes to the government].
21 Nau haenaunaudedaunanauau, Hechauhauthethāhe, haenaunee henee hasenehenaune nau nethauwuchauhauthethāne, daudause hāhauwujāvedaugauhauwaunauau henanedanauau hegau, hau hanechauhauthethāne hesee Hejavaneauthuu hethauwuu:
[So] one of them asked Jesus, “Teacher, we [(exc)] know that you [(sg)] speak and teach what is right. You tell the truth even if important people do not like it. You teach truthfully what God wants us to do.
22 Gaunaasauau heee nananee hadnevenade hauāyaunau Caesar, gauwauāthe hegau?
[So tell us what you think about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
23 Hau haeaenauwu henadaunedaudenenau, nau hanaāāedauwunaude, Naudu haevadauvasehena?
But Jesus knew that they were trying to trick him [to get him into trouble, either with the Jews, who hated to pay those taxes, or with the Roman government]. So he said to them,
24 Jenauhauthehee vāejethāe. Hanaa hewauthaunenauaudene, nau hanaa hewauthaunauhanede? Haeauchuhanāedauwunanauau, Caesar.
“Show me a [Roman] coin. [Then tell me] whose picture is on it. And [tell me whose] name is on it.” They [showed him a coin and] said, “It has the picture and name of Caesar, [the head of the Roman government].”
25 Nau hanaāāedauwunaude, Jauaunaudaunaa heee Caesar hayauhuhau henetheyaunau Caesar, nau Hejavaneauthau hayauhuhau henetheyaunau Hejavaneauthau.
He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
26 Nau haejeneesedanauwu hedanadedaunene hathaājedaunenee henanedanede: nau haegaugauanadauwu hedauchuhanehedaunene, nau hanaāedādaunauguthee.
While the people were there, the [spies] were unable to find fault with him for what he said. And they were amazed at his answer. So they said nothing.
27 Hanaāejeedauchauthee jasae Sadducees, hayāthajauhuhau henee hadjejaegauhadenenee: nau haenaudedaunanauau,
Some Sadducees came to [Jesus]. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.
28 Hechauhauthethāhe, Moses hathauthaunauwunānauau, Hith daun henane henauhauwauau gaujauaudāheyaugaune, heneneyaugaune, nau gaujauaudāheyaugaune jedāeyauneveyaugaune, henee henauhauwauau hanādanaude henenene, nau hanānesaunede heee henauhauwauau, hathauhaugaunee.
They [wanted to] ask [Jesus] a question [in order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again]. One of them said [to Jesus], “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] about situations where a man who has a wife but no children. If the man dies, his brother should marry the [dead man’s] widow so that she can have a child by him. People [will consider] that the child is the descendant of the man [who died], [and in that way the dead man will have descendants].
29 Hena heee haenesaudauchunauau henahavaevadehehauau: nau jasaa nedauau haeenene, nau haenaja haejedāeyauneve.
Well, there were seven brothers in one family. The oldest one married, but he and his wife did not bear any children. Later he died.
30 Nau naneseauwaude haeneva, nau haenaja haejedāeyauneve.
The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
31 Nau nanaseauwaude haeneva; nau vavade hanaasene nanesaudauchuauwaude jea, nau haejenauthanauau dāeyaunauau, nau haegaujauaudāhenauau.
Then the third [brother] married her, [but the same thing happened again]. All seven [brothers, one by one, married that woman], [but] they had no children, and [one by one] they died.
32 Waunee vahee hesā haegaujauaudā jea.
Afterwards, the woman died, too.
33 Henaheee jaegauhadeneyāgu hanaane hadnevādaune? heee hanesaudauchunethe daunevāde.
Therefore, [if it is true that there will be a time] when dead people will become alive again, whose wife [do you think that woman] will be [then]? ([Keep in mind that she was married to all seven brothers!/It will be impossible to decide because] she was married to all seven brothers!) [RHQ]”
34 Nau Hejavaneathusau haeauchuhanāedauwuna, dāeyaunauauau nuu hathāauauvaa nenevadedaunee, nau nenenehaudenee: (aiōn g165)
Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives [by their parents] {their [parents] choose wives [for them]}. (aiōn g165)
35 Hau daun naunauguathee hadnenaededuu hena henaedede, nau jaegauhadeneagu hehethee gaujauaudahede, hadnehauwunevadedaune, hegau hadnenenehadedaune: (aiōn g165)
But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
36 Daudause hadnehauwauthenajadene: hadnaathahedaunee hautheaunauau; nau hadnenesaunevāthee Hejavaneauthu, naathedāeyaunenedaunee jaegauhade.
[You need to know also that] they cannot die any more, because they will be [immortal] [SIM] like angels. [The fact that God has caused] them to be alive again [will show] that they are God’s children.
37 Wauhā henee gaujauaudahehehauau hadjaegauhāthee, Moses denauhauthehade jauauadee, deadethāde Vahadāhenith Hejavaneauthu Abraham, nau Hejavaneauthu Isaac, nau Hejavaneauthu Jacob.
But [as for people] becoming alive again after they die, Moses wrote something about that. In the place where [he wrote about] the [burning] bush, he mentions the Lord as being the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].
38 Hehauwuujavaneauthune heyauhaudade, hau henaedede: hanau vahee haneenaededaunenee.
It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we(inc) know their spirits were still alive]! All [people] whose [spirits] are alive [again after they die continue to live to honor God]!”
39 Hanaāene jasaa wauthaunauhāhe haeauchuhananadetha, Hechauhauthethāhe. Nananene hethade hasenehene.
Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”
40 Nau heee haejauthenaudedaunanauau.
After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
41 Nau hanaāāedauwunaude, Naudu haena hanee Chris Dāvid dauhuāwaude?
Then Jesus said to them, “I will show you (OR, prove to you) that people [are wrong who] say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David! [RHQ]
42 Nau Dāvid nehayau hasenehede wauthaunauhanaa Psalms, Vahadāde hasenehethaude Navahadāhewaunādaune, Hadjejanaugudaune hejavesanee,
Because David himself wrote [about the Messiah] in the book of Psalms, God said to my Lord, Sit [here beside me] on my right, [where I will highly honor you(sg)] [MTY].
43 Haunaude nadeesehaunauau haujauthauwauau hadnedaugāaugunene.
[Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies.
44 Dāvid henaheee haeheenesea Vahadāhenith, dusee heau?
King David calls [the Messiah] ‘[my] Lord’! So ([the Messiah] cannot be [just someone] descended from [King] David!/how can the Messiah be [just] someone descended from [King] David?) [RHQ] [What I just said proves that he is much greater than David, isn’t that right]?”
45 Nau vahee henanedanede haenedaunau hanaāāedauwunaude hethauguhādaunau,
While all the [other] people were listening, [Jesus] said to his disciples,
46 Waudauau wauthaunauhāhehauau, neneanaduu javesanee sauaunausāchaude, nau vechauduu jachauthadede nedauaudaunauvadedaunenee, nau najatheaugudaunau vevethahenauauwuu, nau najanau nedaugunethe vanethehedaunenee;
“Beware that [you do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They like to put on long robes and walk around [to make people think that they are very important]. [They] also like [people to] greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces. They like [to sit in] the most important places in the Jewish meeting places. At dinner parties [they like to sit in] the seats where the most honored people sit.
47 Naudauvāe henevesānau hedauauwunene, nau hanau denauhauthethāthee deguthevevethahethee: hadnathee hanesedanuu vanasaunee gudanadede.
They swindle [MET] the houses [and property] of widows. [Then] they pretend they are good, as they pray [long] prayers [publicly. God] will [certainly] punish them very severely.”
