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.
Now it happened on one of those days, as He was teaching and evangelizing the people in the temple, that the priests and scribes came to Him with the elders
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 addressed Him, saying, “Tell us by what authority you are doing these things; or who is he who gave you this authority?”
3 Te dongah amih te a doo tih, “Nangmih te ol pakhat kan dawt saeh lamtah kai n'doo uh.
But in answer He said to them: “I also will ask you one thing; yes, tell 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 from 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.
So they reasoned among themselves, saying: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why 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, ‘From men,’ all the 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.
So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
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 will I tell you 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.
Then He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it to farmers, and went away on a long journey.
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.
At the proper time he sent a slave to the farmers, that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers flogged him and sent him away empty-handed.
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.
Again he sent a different slave; so they flogged him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
12 A pathum nen khaw a rhaep tih a tueih dae te khaw hmalaem la a haek uh.
And again he sent a third; but they wounded him also and threw 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 owner of the vineyard said: ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; hopefully they will respect him when they see 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.
But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying: ‘This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, so that the inheritance may become 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 they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the owner 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 destroy those farmers and give the vineyard to others.” Having heard it they said, “May it never be!”
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.
Then He looked directly at them and said: “What then is this that is written: ‘A stone that the builders rejected, the same became the cornerstone’?
18 Tekah lungto aka tlak thil boeih te tah tlawt uh vetih, amah a tlak thil atah amah te tip ni,” a ti nah.
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it should fall—it will crush him!”
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.
The chief priests and the scribes wanted to lay hands on Him right then, but they were afraid —they knew He had spoken this parable against 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.
Keeping a close watch on Him, they sent spies, who pretended to be innocent, so that they might latch on to something He said, so as to hand Him over to the power and the authority 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.
So they questioned Him, saying: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and you do not show favoritism but teach 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 pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 Tedae amih kah rhaithinah te a hmat dongah amamih te,
But He perceived their craftiness and said to them: “Why are you testing 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.
Show me a denarius—whose image and inscription does it have?” In answer they said, “Caesar's.”
25 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Kaisar koe te Kaisar taengla, Pathen koe te Pathen taengla mael uh,” a ti nah.
So He said to them, “Then render 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
They were unable to latch on to His word in front of the people; and marveling at His answer they kept silent.
27 Thohkoepnah om pawh tila boe aka koek Sadducee hlangvang long khaw a paan uh tih a dawt uh.
Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached and questioned 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: “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's married brother dies childless, then his brother should take the widow and produce offspring for his brother.
29 Te vaengah boeinaphung parhih lo uh tih, lamhma loh yuu a loh dae cakol la duek.
Now there were seven brothers: the first took a wife and died childless;
30 Te phoeiah a pabae loh a pathum loh huta te a loh.
then the second took the widow and he died childless;
31 Te vanbangla a parhih long khaw camoe om mueh la a caehtak tih duek bal.
then the third took her, in fact all seven in sequence—they all died childless.
32 A hnukkhueng ah huta te khaw duek.
Finally, 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.
Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be, since all seven had her?”
34 Te dongah amih te Jesuh loh, “Ta kumhal kah camoe rhoek loh yuloh rhaihlan neh om uh. (aiōn g165)
So in answer Jesus said to them: “The people of this age 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 those who are considered worthy to attain to that age, to the resurrection from among the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage. (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.
Because they cannot die anymore, being like angels—they are sons of God, being sons 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.
But that the dead are raised, Moses indeed revealed about the Bush when he recorded: ‘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.
So He is not the God of the dead, but of the living—to Him all are alive.”
39 Cadaek hlangvang rhoek loh a doo tih, “Saya, buelh na thui coeng,” a ti nah.
Then some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, you spoke well.”
40 Amah te dawt ham ngaingaih uh voel pawh.
And they no longer dared to question Him further.
41 Jesuh loh amih te, “Metlamlae Khrih te, ' David capa ni,’ a ti uh?
Then He said to them: “How is it that they say that the Messiah is David's Son?
42 David amah loh Tingtoeng cabu dongah a thui tah, ' Boeipa loh ka boeipa taengah,
Why David himself affirms in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord: sit at my right hand
43 na rhal te na kho ham khotloeng la ka khueh hlan atah kai kah bantang ah ngol dae,’ a ti,'
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’
44 David loh anih te Boeipa la a khue atah metlamlae a capa la a om eh?” a ti nah.
Since David calls Him ‘Lord’, how then is He his Son?”
45 Pilnam boeih kah a yaak ah a hnukbang rhoek te,
Then, in the hearing of 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 like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, and the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places 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’ widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers. These will receive more severe judgment.”
