Luhka 20
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 pass, [that] on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon [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 spoke to him, saying, Tell us, By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 Acunüng, Jesuh naw jah msang lü, “Kei pi mat ka ning jah kthäh khai na msang u;
And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
4 “Johan naw baptican a jah petnak thei hin Mhnam üngka aw? Khyang üngka aw?” a ti.
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from 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 with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed 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 say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Acunüng, msang u lü, “Hawia ka ni ti am ksing ve üng,” ami ti.
And 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.
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do 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 he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long 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 season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent [him] away empty.
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.
And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty.
12 “Acunüng, akce m'ya mat ami veia tüi be se acun pi aktäa ngkhe khaia kpai u lü kpunga ami tawn.
And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast [him] 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 said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be when they see him they will reverence 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 saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us 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 vineyard, and killed [him]. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to 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 will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said, may that never be.
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 is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become 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.
Whoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
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.
And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived 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, who should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.
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 rightly, neither acceptest thou the person [of any], but teachest the way of God truly:
22 “Romah bawi üng ngcawn kami ngcawn hin ngkawiki aw,” Am ngkawiki aw?” tia ami kthäh.
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
23 Cunsepi, Jesuh naw ami hleihlak jah ksing lü,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to 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.
Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar's.
25 Jesuh naw, “Acunüng Romah Bawia ka cun Romah Bawi üng pe u lü, Pamhnama ka cun Pamhnam üng pe ua,” a ti.
And he said to them, Render therefore to Cesar the things which are Cesar's, and to God the things which are God's.
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 take hold of his words before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Acunüng, thawhnak be am ve, tikiea Saduke avang he, Jesuha veia law u lü,
Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees (who deny 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 to us, If any man's brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 “Ajana ngbengna khyüh awmki he. Akcük säih khyu mahki am ca lü thiki.
There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 “Acunüng, anghnginak naw a khäm be,
And the second took her for a wife, and he died childless.
31 Acunüng akthumnak naw a khäm be, acunkba bäa akhyühnak cäpa ami khäm be te am ca u lü avan naw ami thih tak.
And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: And they left no children, and died.
32 “Akdüta nghnumi pi thiki.
Last of all the woman died also.
33 “Ami van khyüh naw ami khyunak. Acunakyase, thawhnak bea mhmüp üng, ua khyua kya hlüki ni?” ami ti.
Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
And Jesus answering, said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (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 who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (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.
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being 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.
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 “Pamhnam cun akthi hea Mhnama am kya, akxüng hea Mhnama kyaki. Ania phäha avan xüngki he ni,” a ti.
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
39 Thum ksing avang naw msang u lü, “Saja aw, cang veki,” ami ti.
Then certain of the scribes answering, said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 Acunkäna ipi am ami kthäh be theia phäha kyaki.
And after that, they durst not ask him any question at all.
41 Acunüng, Jesuh naw, “Ikba Mesijah cun Davita capa, ami ti thei ni?
And he said to them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
42 “Davit amät naw Mküinaka ng’äi üng pyen lü, ‘Bawipa naw ka Bawipa veia pyen lü: ‘Ka kpat da ngawa,
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Na ye he na khawkunga ka jah tak law vei däa, ka kpat da ngawa’ a ti.
Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
44 “Acukba Davit naw Mesijah üng, ‘Bawipa aw’ a ti üng ikba a mjükphyüia kya thei khai ni?” a ti.
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
45 Acunüng, khyang he avana ngjaka, axüisaw hea veia,
Then in the audience of all the people, he said to his disciples,
46 “Thum ksing he jah cäiei na u; amimi cun suisak aksaü suisa u lü ngtaw hü vai jawngnaki he, jawihtuknaka leisawngnak am nghnukset kyu, Sinakoka ngawhnak kdaw ami yah vai la pawia akdaw säiha hmün ami yah vai ngjahlüki he,
Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
47 hmeinu hea khawhthem eiaw u lü, ami im jah yutei u lü, khyanga jah hmuha khawvei ktaiyüki he. Ami khamei vai akse säh ni,” a ti.
Who devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
