Luka 20
1 Hnin at ah bawkim khuikah pilnam te a thuituen tih olthangthen a phong vaengah khosoihham rhoek, cadaek rhoek neh patong rhoek loh a pai thiluh.
And it came to pass, that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together,
2 Te vaengah anih te a voek uh tih, “Mebang saithainah nen lae na saii he kaimih taengah thui lah? He saithainah he nang aka paek om nim,” a ti nauh.
And spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? or, Who is he that hath given thee this authority?
3 Te dongah amih te a doo tih, “Nangmih te ol pakhat kan dawt saeh lamtah kai n'doo uh.
And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing. Answer me:
4 Johan kah baptisma tah vaan lamkah a, hlang lamkah a a om?” a ti nah.
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
5 Amih long khaw amamih te poek uh tih, “Vaan lamkah n'ti uh koinih, 'Balae tih anih te na tangnah uh pawh,’ a ti veh.
But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe him?
6 'Hlang lamkah loh, ' n'ti bal nim te pilnam pum loh mamih he n'dae veh,” a ti uh. Johan te tonghma aka om la ana pang uh.
But if we say, Of men, the whole people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Te dongah, “Me lamkah nim, ka ming pawh,” a ti uh.
And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
8 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai loh mebang saithainah neh ka saii khaw nangmih taengah ka thui mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell thee by what authority I do these things.
9 Te dongah pilnam taengah hekah nuettahnah he a tong tih, “Hlang pakhat loh dum a tue tih lotawn a phaam sak. Te phoeiah amah te kum a sen puet vik yiin.
And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad for a long time.
10 A tue vaengah tah dum kah a thaih te amah taengah ham pae uh saeh tila sal pakhat te lotawn rhoek taengla a tueih. Tedae lotawn rhoek loh anih te a boh uh tih a tling la a tueih uh.
And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him away empty.
11 Te phoeiah sal a tloe a rhaep la a tueih bal. Tedae anih a boh uh tih yah a bai phoeiah a tling la a tueih uh.
And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also, and treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty.
12 A pathum nen khaw a rhaep tih a tueih dae te khaw hmalaem la a haek uh.
And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13 Te dongah dum boei loh, ' Balae ka saii eh? Ka capa thintlo he ka tueih eh?, anih tah a yahnah uh kaming,’ a ti.
Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be, when they see him, they will reverence him.
14 Tedae anih te lotawn rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah khat neh khat dawtlet uh thae tih, ' Rhopangkung tah anih coeng ni, anih he ngawn uh sih, te vaengah rho te mamih ham om saeh,’ a ti uh.
Whom when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 Te dongah anih te a vai uh tih dum voelah a gawnuh. Te vaengah dum boei loh amih te metlam a saii eh?
So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Tedae amih lotawn rhoek te a paan vetih a poci sak ni, dum te khaw a tloe taengla a paek ni,” a ti nah. A yaak uh vaengah, “A coeng moenih,” a ti uh.
He will come, and will destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid.
17 Tedae Jesuh loh amih te a sawt tih, “A daek tangtae he balae aka om bal pueng. Im aka sa rhoek loh a hnawt lungto te, imkil a soi la pawk ta.
But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
18 Tekah lungto aka tlak thil boeih te tah tlawt uh vetih, amah a tlak thil atah amah te tip ni,” a ti nah.
Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be bruised: and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 Te dongah cadaek rhoek neh khosoihham rhoek long tah amah vaengah Jesuh te kut hlah thil ham a mae uh. He nuettahnah he amih a thui thil te a ming uh ngawn dae pilnam te khaw koek a rhih uh.
And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them.
20 Anih aka dawn rhoek te a huep la a tueih uh tih amamih te a dueng la om ham sa uh. Te vaengah a ol tuuk pah ham, Jesuh te boeilu neh khoboei kah saithainah dongah voeih hamla caiuh.
And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor.
21 Te dongah Jesuh te a dawt uh tih, “Saya, nang loh buelh buelh na thui tih na thuituen dongah maelhmai na dan pawt te ka ming uh. Tedae Pathen kah oltak longpuei ah ni na thuituen.
And they asked him, saying: Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest the way of God in truth.
22 Kaisar taengah mangmu paek he mamih ham thuem a, thuem pawt a?” a ti nauh.
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?
23 Tedae amih kah rhaithinah te a hmat dongah amamih te,
But he considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me?
24 “Denarii pakhat te kai n'tueng uh lah, u kah muei neh ming lae aka om,” a ti nah hatah, “Kaisar kah,” a ti uh.
Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said to him, Caesar’s.
25 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Kaisar koe te Kaisar taengla, Pathen koe te Pathen taengla mael uh,” a ti nah.
And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s: and to God the things that are God’s.
26 Tedae pilnam hmaiah anih ol tuuk pah ham coeng uh voel pawh. A ollannah te khaw a ngaihmang uh tih a kam a khuem uh. Sadducees neh Thohkoepnah
And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace.
27 Thohkoepnah om pawh tila boe aka koek Sadducee hlangvang long khaw a paan uh tih a dawt uh.
And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked him,
28 Te vaengah, “Saya, Moses loh kaimih ham a daek coeng, pakhat te a maya loh yuu a khueh tih a duek vaengah cakol la a om atah a yuu te a mana loh lo saeh lamtah a mayaa ham a tiingan thoh pah saeh,’ a ti.
Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 Te vaengah boeinaphung parhih lo uh tih, lamhma loh yuu a loh dae cakol la duek.
There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 Te phoeiah a pabae loh a pathum loh huta te a loh.
And the next took her to wife, and he also died childless.
31 Te vanbangla a parhih long khaw camoe om mueh la a caehtak tih duek bal.
And the third took her. And in like manner all the seven, and they left no children, and died.
32 A hnukkhueng ah huta te khaw duek.
Last of all the woman died also.
33 Thohkoepnah dongah huta te u kah yuu lam lae a om eh? Parhih loh anih te yuu la a khueh uh tih,” a ti nauh.
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife.
34 Te dongah amih te Jesuh loh, “Ta kumhal kah camoe rhoek loh yuloh rhaihlan neh om uh. (aiōn g165)
And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
35 Kumhal kah te dang ham neh duek lamkah loh thohkoepnah dongkah aka tiing rhoek long tah yuu a loh, va a sak uh moenih. (aiōn g165)
But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, shall neither be married, nor take wives. (aiōn g165)
36 Vaanpuencawn la a om uh dongah koep duek ham khaw om pawh. Pathen kah a ca la om uh tih thohkoepnah kah a ca la poeh uh bal.
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 Tedae aka duek rhoek a thoh te Moses loh tangpuem taengah ana phoe pataeng coeng. Te vanbangla Boeipa te Abraham Pathen, Isaak Pathen neh Jakob Pathen ana ti coeng.
Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed, at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
38 Tedae aka duek rhoek kah pawt tih aka hing rhoek kah Pathen ni, anih dongah ni boeih a hing uh,” a ti nah.
For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
39 Cadaek hlangvang rhoek loh a doo tih, “Saya, buelh na thui coeng,” a ti nah.
And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well.
40 Amah te dawt ham ngaingaih uh voel pawh.
And after that they durst not ask him any more questions.
41 Jesuh loh amih te, “Metlamlae Khrih te, ' David capa ni,’ a ti uh?
But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David?
42 David amah loh Tingtoeng cabu dongah a thui tah, ' Boeipa loh ka boeipa taengah,
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
43 na rhal te na kho ham khotloeng la ka khueh hlan atah kai kah bantang ah ngol dae,’ a ti,'
Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
44 David loh anih te Boeipa la a khue atah metlamlae a capa la a om eh?” a ti nah.
David then calleth him Lord: and how is he his son?
45 Pilnam boeih kah a yaak ah a hnukbang rhoek te,
And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
46 “Cadaek rhoek te ngaithuen uh, hnikul neh pongpa aka ngaih uh tih hnoyoih hmuen kah toidalnah, tunim ah ngolhmuen then, buhkung kah hmuensang a lungnah uh.
Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts:
47 Amih loh nuhmai rhoek kah im te a yoop pa uh tih mueituengnah ham khing thangthuiuh. He rhoek long ni laitloeknah muep a yook eh?,” a ti nah.
Who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation.
