Luke 20
1 Hypoet taw bawkim awh thlang cawngpyi nawh awithang leek ak khypyi li awh, khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi ce a hqamcakhqi mi a venawh law uhy.
And on one of those days as He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes and elders came upon Him, saying,
2 Hana kaw saithainaak ing nu vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ve na sai? Anik pekung u aw? kqawn lah,” tina uhy.
Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who it is that gave thee this authority?
3 Anih ing, “Cawhtaw awi pynoet awh ni doet khqi lah vang nyng; kqawn law lah uh,
And He answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one question, tell me,
4 Johan a baptisma ve khan ben na kaw nu, am awhtaw thlanghqing ben awhkaw nu?” tinak khqi hy.
Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?
5 Cawh a mimah ce doet qu uhy, Khan benna kaw,” ni ti man, ‘cawhtaw kawtih amna mik cangnaak,’ tina hlyk khqi vik.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
6 Thlanghqing benna kaw ni,’ ni tinaak bai mantaw, Johan ve tawngha ni tinawh thlangkhqi ing ami sim hawh dawngawh, lung ing nik khawng khqi kaw,” ti uhy.
but if we say, Of men, the people will all stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Cedawngawh a mingmih ing, “Han benna kaw hy voei nu, am sim unyng,” tina uhy.
And they answered, they did not know whence it was.
8 Jesu ing, “Cawhtaw hana kaw saithainaak ing vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ka sai tice ap kqawn hly lawt nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
And Jesus said unto them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 Cekcoengawh vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve thlangkhqi venawh kqawn pek khqi poehoei hy. “Thlang pynoet ing misur dum tahy, a dum ce bibikung thlangkhqi venawh vat nawh amah taw khawk hla na cet valh hy.
Then He began to speak unto the people this parable, A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen and travelled abroad for a considerable time,
10 Misur bit tym a pha law awhtaw a tyihzawih thlang pynoet ce misur thaih bit aham dum bibikungkhqi venna tyi hy. Cehlai dum bibikungkhqi ing anih ce vyk unawh kut hqawng na tyi uhy.
and at the fruit-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 Cekcoengawh tyihzawih ak chang ce tyi bai hy, anih ce awm vyk bai unawh, chahqai phyihkawt na ami thekhanaak coengawh kut hqawng na tyi bai uhy.
And he sent another servant; and they beat him also and abused him, and sent him away empty.
12 A tyizoeih a pakthumnaak ce tyi bai hy, anih ce awm a leem kqoengna khawng bai uhy.
And he sent a third; and they wounded him also and drove him out.
13 Cawh misur dum ak ta kung ing, ‘Kaw ka sai lah voei? Kalung naak ka capa man ka tyih hawh kaw; anih taw kqihchah na kawm uh,’ ti hy.
Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see Him they will reverence Him.
14 Cehlai dum bibikungkhqi ing ami huh awh, a mimah ingkaw a mimah ce kqawn uhy. ‘Anih ve qo ak pang hly kawi ni; him unawh taw a qo ce ningnih aham awm seh nyng,’ ti uhy.
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 Cedawngawh anih ce misur dum a ceng na sawi unawh him uhy. Cawhtaw misur dum ak takung ing a mingmih ce ikawmyihna a saikhqi kaw?
So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16 Dum bibikungkhqi boeih ce a him coengawh misur dum ce thlak chang a kut awh pe kaw,” tinak khqi hy. Ve ak awi ve thlangkhqi ing a ming zaak awh, “Ve myihna koeh awm seh,” ti uhy.
He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this they said, God forbid.
17 Jesu ing a mingmih ce toek khqi nawh, “Cawhtaw vawhkaw kqawn hyt awi: “Ip sakungkhqi ing ami hoet lung ce a kil awh lung ak leek soeih a khoengna awm hy,’ a tive kaw ak kqawn ngaihnaak hy voei aw?
And He looked upon them and said, What then is this, which is written, The stone which the builders refused, is become the head of the corner?
18 U awm ce alung awh ak tlu taw kqek kawm saw, a namkhqi khqoet taw a dik a huina coeng kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
Whosoever falleth on that stone shall be bruised; but on whomsoever it falleth, it will crush him to pieces.
19 Vawhkaw nyhtahnaak awi ve a mingmih ni ak kqawn sih hy tice ami sim dawngawh, anaa awi cawngpyikung khqi ingkaw khawsoeih boeikhqi ing anih ce tu pahoei aham a lam ce sui uhy. Cehlai thlang kqeeng ce kqih uhy.
And the chief priests and the scribes would have laid hands on Him at that very time, but were afraid of the people: for they perceived that He had spoken this parable against them.
20 Ak zoei cana qym nawh a thawlhnaak tu peek thainaak aham, thlak leek na ak sa qu, qymkungkhqi ce a venawh tyi uhy. Jesu ak awi kqawnnaak awh a thawlhnaak tu pe nawh saithainaak ak ta qam ukkung a venawh peek thainaak aham teng uhy.
And they watched Him and sent out spies, pretending to be righteous men, to lay hold of his words, that they might deliver Him up to the power and authority of the governor.
21 Cedawngawh amah ak qymkungkhqi ing doet uhy: “Cawngpyikung, ak thym kqawn nawh thlang cawngpyi hyk ti, u a hai awm a toek kaana awitak ing Khawsa a lam cawngpyi hyk ti tice sim unyng.
And they asked Him, saying, Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person of any, but teachest the way of God in truth:
22 Kaisar a venawh mangmu peek ve ak thym nu, amak thym nu?” tina uhy.
is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
23 A mingmih a thainaak ce a sim oel oel a dawngawh,
But He perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why do ye tempt me?
24 Ami venawh, “Tangka denari ce nim huh lah uh; uang myihlip ingkaw ming nu ak awm?” tinak khqi hy.
Shew me a penny: whose image and inscription hath it? and they answered, Cesar's.
25 Cekkhqi ing, Karsar, tina uhy. Cekkhqi venawh, “Cawhtaw Kaisar a koe ce Kaisar a venawh pe unawh taw, Khawsa a koe ce Khawsa venawh pe uh,” tinak khqi hy.
Then said He unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's.
26 Thlang kqeng a haiawh awi ak kqawnnaak awh a thawlhnaak am tu pe thai uhy. Cekkhqi awi am hlatnaak awh ce amik kawpoek kyi nawh, awm hqoeng uhy.
And they could not take hold of his word before the people: and they marvelled at his answer and said no more.
27 Thawhtlaihnaak am awm hy amik ti Sadusi thlang vang tloek ing Jesu doet aham law uhy.
And some of the Sadducees (who deny a resurrection) came to Him and asked Him,
28 A venawh, “Cawngpyi kung, Mosi ing taw ve myihna ca qee hy, 'thlang ing cataak kaana a zu ce a thih taak mai mantaw ana ing anih ce lo kawmsaw ak taai aham ca taak pe kaw,' tihy.
saying, Moses enjoined us, if any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die childless, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 Cingnahqui thlang khqih awm uhy. Lamma cyk ing zu lo hlai hy, ca a taak kaana thih tahy.
Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless; and the second took the wife, and he died childless;
30 A pakkhihnaak ing zuna tlaih nawh,
and the third took her;
31 cekcoengawh a pakthumnaak ing zuna tlaih bai hy; ca pynoet awm a taak kaana ak khqihna ce thi boeih uhy.
and in like manner all the seven.
32 A hukhit nataw cawhkaw nu awm thi lawt hy.
And they died and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
33 Cawhtaw, thawh tlaihnaak khawnghi awh cawhkaw nu ce a u mih a zuna nu a awm kaw, khqih ing zuna boeih u saw?” tina uhy.
Therefore at the resurrection whose wife is she? for all the seven had her to wife.
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 Cehlai ce a hun awh ak awm kawikhqi taw thlak thi thawh tlaihnaak khawnghi awh zu loh va taak, chungvaa am awm voel hawh kaw, (aiōn g165)
But they who are counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
36 thi awm am thi voel kawm uh; khan ceityihkhqi amyihna awm kawm usaw; ak tho tlaih cakhqi na ami awm hawh dawngawh Khawsa cakhqi na awm hawh kawm uh.
for they can die no more, being like the angels: and they are the children of God as being the children of the resurrection.
37 Thlak thi thawhtlaihna a awmnaak hly Mosi ingawm, thingbup akawng lamawh ce, Bawipa ce, 'Abraham a Khawsa, Isak a Khawsa, Jakob a Khawsa,’ a tinaak awh dang sak hy.
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush; for he calleth the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Anih taw thlak thi Khawsa na am awm nawh, thlak hqing a Khawsa nani a awm, amah awh thlang boeih ce hqing hy,” tinak khqi hy.
And He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to Him they are all living.
39 Anaa awi cawngpyikung thlang vang ing, “Cawngpyikung, nak kqawn ce thym hy,” tina uhy.
And some of the scribes replied, Master, thou hast indeed said right.
40 Cekcoengawh kawng taw u ingawm awi am doet voel uhy.
And they dared not any more to ask Him any such question.
41 Cekcoengawh Jesu ing cekkhqi venawh, “Ikawmyihna a mingmih ing Khrih ve David Capa tinawh amik kqawn hy voei?
And He said unto them, How do they say, that Christ is the son of David?
42 David amah ingtaw Saam cabu awh: Bawipa ing ka Bawipa a venawh:
when David himself saith in the book of Psalms, "The Lord said unto my Lord,
43 Na qaalkhqi ce na khawtloeng na ka sai hlan dy taw, kak tang benawh ngawi lah,” tinawh kqawn hy.
Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool."
44 David ing anih ce ‘Bawipa,’ tinawh khy hy. Cawhtaw ikawmyihna a capa na a awm hly thai?” tinak khqi hy.
David therefore calleth Him Lord, and how is He then his son?
45 Thlangkhqi ing ak awih kqawn ce a ming ngai huiawh, Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh,
And He said to his disciples, in the audience of all the people,
46 Anaa awi cawngpyikungkhqi awh ce ngaihtaak lah uh; A mingmih ingtaw hik dung bai unawh khawlakawh aming van lungna uhy, thlang ing ik-oeih a zawihnaak hun awh kqihchahnaak peekkhqi lungna unawh sinakawk awh ngawihnaak ak leek leek ingkaw buh veelnaak kung awh a qyp ak awm ngawihnaakkhqi ce lungna uhy.
Beware of the scribes, who affect to walk in long robes, and love salutations in public places, and the chief seats in the Synagogues, and uppermost places at feasts;
47 Hahqahkhqi im ce hul pe unawh thlang amik huh awh ak dung soeih na cykcah uhy. Vemih ak thlangkhqi ing ve zawk khqoet khqoet kawm uh,” tinak khqi hy.
who devour widows houses, and for a shew of religion make long prayers: these shall receive a heavier sentence.
