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 those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon 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 spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 Te dongah amih te a doo tih, “Nangmih te ol pakhat kan dawt saeh lamtah kai n'doo uh.
And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and 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 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.
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
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.
And they answered, that they could not tell 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 do 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 speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into a far country 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 vinedressers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the vinedressers beat him, and 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: and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and 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 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 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 vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, 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 they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall 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 shall come and destroy these vinedressers, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, may that 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.
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 Tekah lungto aka tlak thil boeih te tah tlawt uh vetih, amah a tlak thil atah amah te tip ni,” a ti nah.
Whoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomever 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 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 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 they watched him, and sent forth spies, who pretended to be righteous men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and 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.
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 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 not?
23 Tedae amih kah rhaithinah te a hmat dongah amamih te,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt ye 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 penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and 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.
And he said to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and to God the things which 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 take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Thohkoepnah om pawh tila boe aka koek Sadducee hlangvang long khaw a paan uh tih a dawt uh.
Then came to him certain 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 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 Te vaengah boeinaphung parhih lo uh tih, lamhma loh yuu a loh dae cakol la duek.
There were therefore seven brothers: 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 second took her for a wife, and he 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 the seven also: 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.
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her for a wife.
34 Te dongah amih te Jesuh loh, “Ta kumhal kah camoe rhoek loh yuloh rhaihlan neh om uh. (aiōn g165)
And Jesus answering 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 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 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 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 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 a 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.
Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 Amah te dawt ham ngaingaih uh voel pawh.
And after that they dared not ask him any question at all.
41 Jesuh loh amih te, “Metlamlae Khrih te, ' David capa ni,’ a ti uh?
And he said to them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?
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 therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
45 Pilnam boeih kah a yaak ah a hnukbang rhoek te,
Then 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 greetings in the markets, and the highest 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: the same shall receive greater condemnation.
