Luka 20
1 Nito naah, anih loe tempul thungah kaminawk to patuk, tamthanglok hoih taphong naah, kalen koek qaima, ca tarik kaminawk loe kacoehtanawk hoi nawnto anih khaeah angzoh o,
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.
2 Anih khaeah naa ih sakthaihaih akaa hoiah maw hae hmuennawk hae na sak, to tih ai boeh loe hae sakthaihaih akaa hae mi mah maw ang paek? Na thui ah, tiah a naa o.
They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
3 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Lok maeto kang dueng o toeng han; na pathim oh:
He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 Johan ih tuinuemhaih loe van bang hoi ih maw, to tih ai boeh loe kaminawk khae hoi ih? tiah a naa.
the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 To naah angmacae hoi angmacae to lok angdueng o, Van bang hoi ih, tiah a thuih o nahaeloe, tikhoe anih to na tang o ai loe? tiah na naa tih;
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
6 toe kaminawk khae hoi ih ni, tiah a thuih o nahaeloe, kaminawk boih mah Johan loe tahmaa maeto ah poek o pongah, thlung hoi na va o tih, tiah a thuih o.
But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 To pongah nihcae mah, naa bang hoi ih maw, tito ka panoek o ai, tiah a naa o.
They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
8 Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Kai doeh mi ih akaa hoiah maw hae hmuennawk hae ka sak, tito kang thui o toeng mak ai, tiah a naa.
Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9 To pacoengah anih mah kaminawk khaeah hae patahhaih lok hae thuih pae; Kami maeto loe misur takha maeto tawnh, takha to toksah kami khaeah tlaisak pacoengah, prae kangthla ah kholong a caeh.
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.
10 Misurthaih pakhrik tue phak naah loe, misurthaih pakhrik hanah takha toep kaminawk khaeah a tamna maeto patoeh: toe takha thung toksah kaminawk mah anih to boh o moe, bangkrai ah patoeh o ving.
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.
11 To pongah anih mah kalah tamna to patoeh let: anih doeh boh o moe, pacaekthlaek o, azat thok ah bangkrai ah amlaem o sak.
He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Anih mah thumto haih tamna to patoeh let: anih to doeh nganbawh kana paek o moe, tasa bangah vah o ving.
He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
13 To naah takha tawnkung loe, Kawbangmaw ka sak han? Palung ih ka capa to ka patoeh halat han boeh: nihcae mah anih to hnuk o naah saiqat o khoe doeh om tih, tiah a poek.
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.’
14 Toe takha thungah toksah kaminawk mah qawktoep kami ah kaom anih to hnuk o naah, angzo oh, anih to hum si loe, qawk to aimacae hanah la o si, tiah maeto hoi maeto a thuih o.
“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.’
15 To pongah anih to takha tasa bangah vah o moe, anih to a hum o. To tih nahaeloe takha tawnkung mah nihcae to kawbangmaw sah tih? tiah a naa.
Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Nihcae mah, Takha tawnkung to angzo tih, toksah kaminawk to hum ueloe, takha to kalah kaminawk khaeah paek tih, tiah a naa o. Kaminawk mah lok to thaih o naah, to tiah om hmah nasoe, tiah thuih o.
He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
17 Anih mah nihcae to khet moe, Imsah kaminawk mah pahnawt o ih thlung loe, im takii ih kacak koek thlung ah oh boeh, tiah tarik ih lok loe tih thuih koehaih ih maw?
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’?
18 Mi kawbaktih doeh to thlung nuiah amtimh kami loe angkhaek tih; thlung mah taeh ih kaminawk doeh adip pueng tih, tiah a naa.
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
19 Hae patahhaih lok loe nihcae thuih koehhaih ih ni, tito nihcae mah panoek o pongah, kalen koek qaima hoi ca tarik kaminawk loe anih naeh thaihaih loklam to pakrong o, toe to ah kaom kaminawk to zit o.
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.
20 Anih mah thuih pazae ih lok to naeh moe, anih to prae ukkung khaeah paek hanah, anih to patoem o pongah, kami kahoih baktiah angsah tamquta hoi minawk khen kaminawk to anih khaeah patoeh o.
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.
21 Anih patoem kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Patukkung, nang loe kamsoem lok ni na thuih, kamsoem hmuen to na patuk, kami mikhmai doeh na khen ai, Sithaw ih loklam ni loktangta ah na patuk, tito ka panoek o:
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.
22 Caesar khaeah tamut paek hae amsoem maw, amsoem ai? tiah a dueng o.
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 Toe nihcae mah alinghaih to anih mah panoek pongah nihcae khaeah, Tikhoe nang tanoek o loe?
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
24 Phoisa maeto na patuek o noek ah. Mi ih krang hoi ahmin maw tarik o? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Caesar ih, tiah pathim pae o.
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
25 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Caesar ih hmuennawk to Caesar khaeah paek oh loe, Sithaw ih hmuennawk to Sithaw khaeah paek oh, tiah a naa.
He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26 Anih mah kaminawk hma ah thuih pazae ih lok to nihcae mah naeh o thai ai: nihcae mah dueng ih lok to anih mah pathim pae thaih pongah, dawnrai o moe, anghngai o duem.
They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
27 Angthawk lethaih tang ai thoemto Sadusinawk anih khaeah angzoh o moe, anih khaeah,
Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
28 Patukkung, Mosi mah kaicae khaeah, Kami maeto loe zu lak, toe caa sah ai ah dueh ving nahaeloe, amnawk mah anih ih zu to la ueloe, amya hanah caa sah pae tih, tiah tarik ih oh.
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.
29 Nawkamya sarihto kaom kami oh o: kacoeh koek loe zu lak, toe caa sah ai ah duek ving.
There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 Hnetto haih amnawk mah nongpata to zu ah lak, toe caa sah ai ah duek taak ving.
The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31 Thumto haih amnawk mah nongpata to lak; to tiah nawkamya sarihto mah zu o haih, toe caa sah ai ah duek o taak boih.
The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
32 Hnukkhuem ah loe to nongpata doeh duek toeng.
Afterward the woman also died.
33 To tih nahaeloe angthawk lethaih niah to nongpata loe mi ih zu ah maw om tih? Nawkamya sarihto mah to nongpata to zu ah lak o boih, tiah a dueng o.
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 toe to adung ah kathum han koiah poek ih kaminawk duekhaih thung hoiah angthawk o let naah loe, zu lakhaih hoi imthong krakhaih to om mak ai boeh: (aiōn g165)
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)
36 nihcae loe dueh o thai mak ai boeh: van kaminawk baktiah ni oh o boeh; angthawk lethaih caa ah oh o pongah, Sithaw caa ah ni oh o boeh.
For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
37 Toe Mosi mah Angraeng loe Abraham ih Sithaw, Isak ih Sithaw, Jakob ih Sithaw ah oh, tiah kawk naah, hmai kangqong thing kabuk thung hoiah, kadueh kaminawk angthawk o boeh, tito a hnuksak.
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.’
38 Anih loe kadueh kaminawk ih Sithaw na ai ni, kahing kaminawk ih Sithaw ah ni oh: kaminawk loe anih ah hing o boih, tiah a naa.
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
39 To naah thoemto ca tarik kaminawk mah, Patukkung, na thuih ih lok loe hoih, tiah a naa o.
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
40 To pacoengah loe nihcae mah anih khaeah lokdueng o ai boeh.
They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
41 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Kawbangmaw nihcae mah, Kri loe David ih capa ni, tiah thuih o?
He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
42 David mah loe Saam Cabu thungah, Angraeng mah, ka Angraeng khaeah,
David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
43 na misanawk na khok koenghaih ah ka sah ai karoek to, ka bantang bangah anghnu ah, tiah thuih.
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
44 David mah anih to Angraeng, tiah kawk, to tih nahaeloe kawbangmaw Anih loe David ih Capa ah om thai tih? tiah a naa.
“David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
45 Kami boih mah a lok tahngaih o nathuem ah, Jesu mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah,
In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
46 ca tarik kaminawk khae hoi acoe oh, nihcae loe kahni sawk to angkhuk o moe, amkaeh han koeh o, hmuenmae zawhhaih ahmuen ah saiqat paekhaih to a koeh o, Sineko ah kasang koek anghnuthaih hoi buhcaakhaih ahmuen to a koeh o;
“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;
47 lamhmainawk ih im to muk pae o moe, minawk mikhnuk ah kasawk parai ah lawkthuih o: to baktih kaminawk loe kalen kue lokcaekhaih to hnu o tih.
who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
