1 Acunüng, khaw mhmüp mat cun Temple k'uma khyang he jah mthei lü thangkdaw a pyen k'um üng, ktaiyü ngvai he la thum ksing he cun axüngvai he am law u lü,
And it came to passe, that on one of those dayes, as he taught the people in the Temple, and preached the Gospel, the hie Priests and the Scribes came vpon him with the Elders,
2 Jesuh üng, “Jah mtheha, ia ana am na pawh ni? U naw hina ana aning pet ni?” tia ami kthäh.
And spake vnto him, saying, Tell vs by what authoritie thou doest these things, or who is hee that hath giuen thee this authoritie?
3 Acunüng, Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Kei pi mat ka ning jah kthäh khai na msang u;
And he answered, and sayde vnto them, I also will aske you one thing: tell me therefore:
4 “Johan naw baptican a jah petnak thei hin Mhnam üngka aw? Khyang üngka aw?” a ti.
The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men?
5 Acunüng, amimät he ami mlung k’uma, “Mhnam üngka mi ti üng pi, ‘ivai Johan am nami kcangnak ni?’ ti hlü ve.
And they reasoned within themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say, Why then beleeued ye him not?
6 “Khyang üngka mi ti üng pi khyang avan naw Johan cun sahmaa ami ksinga kyase, lung am jah vawi hlü ve u,” tia ngai kyuki he.
But if we shall say, Of men, all the people will stone vs: for they be perswaded that Iohn was a Prophet.
7 Acunüng, msang u lü, “Hawia ka ni ti am ksing ve üng,” ami ti.
Therefore they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
8 Acunüng Jesuh naw, “Kei pi ua ana am ka pawh ni ti am ning jah mtheh hlü veng,” a ti.
Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Neither tell I you, by what authoritie I doe these things.
9 Acunüng, khyang he üng hina msuimcäpnak a jah mtheh, “Khyang mat naw capyit ngvawng pyanki, k’äih khai he üng jah khah hüt lü athuknaka khawa di law khaia citki.
Then began he to speake to ye people this parable, A certaine man planted a vineyarde, and let it forth to husbandmen: and went into a strange countrey, for a great time.
10 “Acunüng, capyit kbih vai a kha law üng amäta hama capyit ktheih kbit khaia a m'ya mat ngvawng ngängki hea veia a jah tüih. Cunsepi avang he ngängki he naw acuna m’ya cun kpai u lü a jünga ami tüih be.
And at the time conuenient he sent a seruant to the husbandmen, that they should giue him of the fruite of the vineyard: but the husbandmen did beate him, and sent him away emptie.
11 “Acunüng, a m'ya akce mat ami veia a tüih be kce, ngvawng ngängki he naw, kpai u lü, ngkekhyakei khaia pawhki he naw, a jünga ami tüih be.
Againe he sent yet another seruant: and they did beate him, and foule entreated him, and sent him away emptie.
12 “Acunüng, akce m'ya mat ami veia tüi be se acun pi aktäa ngkhe khaia kpai u lü kpunga ami tawn.
Moreouer he sent the third, and him they wounded, and cast out.
13 “Acunüng, ngvawng mah naw, ‘Ikba ka pawh khai? Ka capa ka jawngnak bawi tüi süm vang, ani ta leisawng hman khai he ni,’ a ti.
Then sayd the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I doe? I will send my beloued sonne: it may be that they will doe reuerence, when they see him.
14 “Cunsepi, ngvawng ngängki he naw ami na hmuh la, ‘Hin hin khawh mkhawm khaia khyang ni, mi hnim vai, acunüng a khawh mi ka na khai,’ tia, ami ceng.
But when the husbandmen sawe him, they reasoned with themselues, saying, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 “Acunüng, capyit ngvawng üngka naw kpunga nawt u lü ami hnim. Acunüng capyit ngvawng mah naw ikba jah pawh law khai aw?
So they cast him out of the vineyarde, and killed him. What shall the Lord of the vineyarde therefore doe vnto them?
16 “Ngvawng mah law lü, ngvawng ngängki he jah hnim lü ngvawng pi khyang kce he üng jah pe khai,” a ti. Acunüng, acun ami ngjak la, “Acukba ta am kya khai,” ami ti.
He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and wil giue out his vineyard to others. But when they heard it, they sayd, God forbid.
17 Cunsepi, Jesuh naw jah teng lü, “Hina ngthu ng’yuki hin i ni? ‘Sawngsaki he naw ami yawka lung cun, avana kthaka kyäp law säihki ni’ ti hin.
And he beheld them, and said, What meaneth this then that is written, The stone that the builders refused, that is made the head of the corner?
18 “Upi, acuna lunga khana kyaki cun yawp khai, Upi acuna lung naw a kyaksih cun mvuta mhmüi khai,” a ti.
Whosoeuer shall fall vpon that stone, shall be broken: and on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to pouder.
19 Acunüng, thum ksing he la ktaiyü ngvai he naw man u lü, ami kutnak vaia ami bü te, khyang he ami jah kyühei; msuimcäpnak a pyen cun, amimi jah mkat lü, a pyen ti ami ksinga phäha kyaki.
Then the hie Priests, and the Scribes the same houre went about to lay hands on him: (but they feared the people) for they perceiued that he had spoken this parable against them.
20 Acunüng, Jesuh naw, ngthu a pyen law msawk man u lü, Romah Empero veia ami khyak vaia phäha, k’äih tele u lü mcih khai hea khyang kdawa kba awmkia khyang he ami jah tüih.
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should faine themselues iust men, to take him in his talke, and to deliuer him vnto the power and authoritie of the gouernour.
21 Amimi naw Jesuh üng, “Saja aw, cang yekia ngthu pyen lü na jah mtheiki, u am hngalang na lü akcanga Pamhnama lama ngthu na jah mthei khawiki ti kami ksingki;
And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest, and teachest right, neither doest thou accept mans person, but teachest the way of God truely.
22 “Romah bawi üng ngcawn kami ngcawn hin ngkawiki aw,” Am ngkawiki aw?” tia ami kthäh.
Is it lawfull for vs to giue Cesar tribute or no?
23 Cunsepi, Jesuh naw ami hleihlak jah ksing lü,
But he perceiued their craftines, and sayd vnto them, Why tempt ye me?
24 “Tangka mat na mhmuh law ua, ua müihmai la ua ngming ni a ng’yuk?” a ti. Acunüng, amimi naw, “Romah Bawi” ami ti.
Shew me a penie. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and sayd, Cesars.
25 Jesuh naw, “Acunüng Romah Bawia ka cun Romah Bawi üng pe u lü, Pamhnama ka cun Pamhnam üng pe ua,” a ti.
Then he sayd vnto them, Giue then vnto Cesar the things which are Cesars, and to God those which are Gods.
26 Acunüng, khyang hea ma ngthu a pyen msawk, ami man vai i am hmu u; a jah msangnak cun aktäa kyüh u lü ä msimsawt u lü awmki he.
And they could not reproue his saying before the people: but they marueiled at his answere, and helde their peace.
27 Acunüng, thawhnak be am ve, tikiea Saduke avang he, Jesuha veia law u lü,
Then came to him certaine of the Sadduces (which denie that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,
28 “Saja aw, Mosi naw a yuknak üng, khyang naw am ca lü a khyu a thih tak üng angsawn am a dütnak vaia, a bena naw a khäm be vai tia awmki.
Saying, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.
29 “Ajana ngbengna khyüh awmki he. Akcük säih khyu mahki am ca lü thiki.
Now there were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and he dyed without children.
30 “Acunüng, anghnginak naw a khäm be,
And the second tooke the wife, and he dyed childelesse.
31 Acunüng akthumnak naw a khäm be, acunkba bäa akhyühnak cäpa ami khäm be te am ca u lü avan naw ami thih tak.
Then the third tooke her: and so likewise the seuen dyed, and left no children.
32 “Akdüta nghnumi pi thiki.
And last of all the woman dyed also.
33 “Ami van khyüh naw ami khyunak. Acunakyase, thawhnak bea mhmüp üng, ua khyua kya hlüki ni?” ami ti.
Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? for seuen had her to wife.
Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, The children of this world marry wiues, and are married. (aiōn g165)
35 cunsepi, tuha thinak üngka naw tho be ngkawikia ngaikyuki he cun ä ngkhyungla be u lü, khyu ca vaia pi am ngpeei kyu be u lü; (aiōn g165)
But they which shalbe counted worthy to enioy that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry wiues, neither are married. (aiōn g165)
36 “Athiha pi am thi be thei ti u, khankhawngsä hea mäih law u lü, thihnak üngka naw ami thawh bea phäha Pamhnama ca hea kyaki he.
For they can die no more, forasmuch as they are equall vnto the Angels, and are the sonnes of God, since they are the children of the resurrection.
37 “Mosi naw, akthi he tho be khai he ti lü saksiki. Cangcim üng kpyapa däinak pyen lü, ‘Pamhnam cun Abrahama Pamhnam, Isaka Pamhnam, Jakopa Pamhnam’ tia pyenki.
And that the dead shall rise againe, euen Moses shewed it besides the bush, when he said, The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob.
38 “Pamhnam cun akthi hea Mhnama am kya, akxüng hea Mhnama kyaki. Ania phäha avan xüngki he ni,” a ti.
For he is not the God of the dead, but of them which liue: for all liue vnto him.
39 Thum ksing avang naw msang u lü, “Saja aw, cang veki,” ami ti.
Then certaine of the Scribes answered, and sayd, Master, thou hast well sayd.
40 Acunkäna ipi am ami kthäh be theia phäha kyaki.
And after that, durst they not aske him any thing at all.
41 Acunüng, Jesuh naw, “Ikba Mesijah cun Davita capa, ami ti thei ni?
Then sayd he vnto them, Howe say they that Christ is Dauids sonne?
42 “Davit amät naw Mküinaka ng’äi üng pyen lü, ‘Bawipa naw ka Bawipa veia pyen lü: ‘Ka kpat da ngawa,
And Dauid himselfe sayth in the booke of the Psalmes, The Lord sayd vnto my Lord, Sit at my right hand,

Till I shall make thine enemies thy footestoole.
44 “Acukba Davit naw Mesijah üng, ‘Bawipa aw’ a ti üng ikba a mjükphyüia kya thei khai ni?” a ti.
Seeing Dauid called him Lord, howe is he then his sonne?
