Luk 20
1 Hahoi, hnin touh hnin teh Jisuh ni bawkim vah tami moikapap a cangkhai teh kamthang kahawi a dei lahun nah vaihma bawinaw, cakathutkungnaw hoi kacuenaw a tho awh teh,
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 hete hnosakthai nahanelah bangpatet e kâtawnnae maw na tawn. Apini maw kâtawnnae na poe dei haw, telah a ti awh.
They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
3 Jisuh ni a dei pouh e teh, lawk buet touh na pacei awh vai, nangmouh ni dei awh haw.
He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 Jawhan ni baptisma poe thainae kâ a tawn e hah kalvan hoi e maw, tami koehoi e maw, dei awh haw, telah a pacei.
the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 Ahnimouh ni buet touh hoi buet touh a kâpan awh teh, bangtelamaw ti han. Kalvan hoi e tetpawiteh, hat boipawiteh bangkongmaw Jawhan na yuem awh hoeh telah a dei han. Tami koehoi e doeh telah tet pawiteh,
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
6 hivah kaawm e taminaw pueng ni Jawhan teh profet roeroe doeh telah a yuem awh dawkvah, ahnimouh ni maimanaw teh talung hoi na dêi awh han, telah ati awh.
But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 Hatdawkvah ahnimanaw ni, nâ hoi e maw tie ka panuek awh hoeh, telah a dei awh.
They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
8 Hahoi Jisuh ni, hat pawiteh kai ni hai bangpatetlae kâtawnnae hoi maw hete hno heh ka sak tie hah ka dei van mahoeh, telah atipouh.
Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9 Hatnavah Jisuh ni taminaw koe bangnuenae lawk a dei pouh. Tami buet touh ni misur takha buet touh a tawn. Takhakatawkkungnaw koe a hlai sak teh, kahlong lah atueng moikasawlah a cei.
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 Misur paw khi tue a pha toteh, a hlai sak e naw koehoi misurpaw la hanelah, takhakatawkkungnaw koe a san buet touh a patoun. Hatei takhakatawkkungnaw ni a san hah a hem awh teh, kuthrawng lah a pâban awh.
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 Hahoi alouke a san buet touh bout a patoun navah, a hem awh teh, yeiraipo sak awh teh, kuthrawng lah bout a pâban awh.
He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Alouke a san hah bout a patoun navah, ka patawpoung lah a hem awh teh a pâlei awh.
He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
13 Hatnavah takha katawnkung ni, bangtelamaw ka sak han. Ka pahren poung e ka capa ka patoun han, ahni teh a bari awh han doeh, telah a ti.
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 Hatei, takhakatawkkungnaw niyah, a capa a hmu navah ahni teh râw ka coe hane nahoehmaw, tho awh, thet awh sei. Hat pawiteh doeh ahnie râw hah maimouh ni coe awh ti ati awh.
“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 Hatdawkvah takha katawnkung e capa hah a man awh, takha alawilah a pâlei awh teh a thei awh. Hottelah pawiteh, takha katawnkung ni bangtelamaw ati han.
Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Takhakatawnkung hah koung thet vaiteh, hote takha hah alouke takhakatawkkungnaw koe a poe han telah atipouh. Hote hah taminaw ni a thai navah, hottelah awm hanh naseh, ati awh.
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 Jisuh ni ahnimanaw a khet teh, im kasakkung ni, a pahnawt e talung hah a takinlung lah bout ao tie Cakathoung dawk kaawm e lawk hah bangmaw a dei ngai, telah a pacei awh.
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 Hote talung dawk ka bawt e pueng teh rekrek a kâbawng vaiteh hote talung ni a bosin e pueng teh vitpatit lah ao han, telah atipouh.
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
19 Hahoi teh vaihma bawinaw, cakathutkungnaw ni hote bangnuenae teh maimouh doeh na dei ngai nah tie a panue awh toteh, Jisuh man nahanelah kho a pouk awh. Hatei kamkhueng e tamihupui hah a taki awh.
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 Hatnavah Farasinaw ni Jisuh e lawk man pouh hanelah a tawng teh kho kaukkung kâtawnnae katawnnaw e kut dawk poe thai nahanelah, tamikalan lah kâsak e katuetnaw a patoun awh.
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 Hahoi, Jisuh hanlah, saya, atangcalah na cangkhai teh na dei tie ka panue awh. Hahoi apie minhmai hai na khen hoeh, hatei Cathut e lamthung lawkkatang hah na cangkhai toe.
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 Hatdawkvah na dei pouh haw, Sizar koe tamuk poe e hah kaimae phung hoi a kâtaran ou, kâtaran hoeh ou telah a pacei awh.
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 Jisuh ni ahnimae huenghaionae hah a panue dawkvah nangmouh ni bangkongmaw kai na tanouk awh.
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
24 Phoisa phek touh na patue haw, apie mei hoi min maw ka kamnuek telah a pacei navah, ahnimouh ni Rom siangpahrang e mei hoi min doeh atipouh awh.
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
25 Jisuh ni Rom siangpahrang e hno teh Rom siangpahrang poe awh. Cathut e hno teh Cathut poe awh, telah atipouh.
He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26 Hottelah ahnimouh ni taminaw e hma lah a lawk yon a hmu thai awh hoeh dawkvah, kângairu lahoi lawkkamuem lah ao awh.
They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
27 Duenae koehoi boutthawnae awm hoeh ka tet e Sadusinaw ni Jisuh koe a tho awh teh,
Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
28 Bawipa, tami buetbuet touh niyah ca tawn laipalah, a yu dout takhai pawiteh, a tami a thup hoeh nahanelah, a nawngha ni let awmkhai seh titeh Mosi ni a thut.
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 A hmaunawngha sari touh ao awh. A camin ni hmaloe a yu lah a la teh, Ca sak laipalah a due takhai.
There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 A nawngha ni patuen a okhai teh ca sak laipalah bout a due takhai.
The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31 Hottelah, buet touh hnukkhu buet touh a due takhai awh teh, hmaunawngha sari touh ni ca sak awh laipalah, hote napui hah be a due takhai awh.
The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
32 A hnukteng vah hote napui hai a due van.
Afterward the woman also died.
33 Hatdawkvah, boutthawnae tue a pha toteh, hote napui hah apie yu lah maw ao han. Hmaunawngha sari touh ni hote napui hah a yu lah a okhai awh toe telah a ti.
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 Hatei, a yungyoe e pang hane hoi duenae koehoi bout thawnae dawk kamcu e taminaw teh kâpaluen awh hoeh, kâhâ awh hoeh toe. (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 Ahnimouh teh kalvantaminaw patetlah ao awh teh dout thai awh hoeh toe. Ahnimouh teh duenae koehoi bout thaw lah ao toung dawkvah Cathut e ca lah ao awh.
For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
37 Hothloilah Mosi ni kadout tangcoung e taminaw hringnae dawk bout a thaw awh tie kacaicalah a dei. Hmai ka kang e buruk kong a dei nah Bawipa teh Abraham Cathut, Isak Cathut, Jakop Cathut lah ao a ti.
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 Cathut teh kadoutnaw e Cathut na hoeh. Kahringnaw e Cathut doeh. Hote taminaw pueng ni Cathut dawk kahring awh telah atipouh.
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
39 Cakathutkungnaw tami tangawn ni, Bawipa, nange na dei e lawk teh atang doeh telah a ti.
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
40 Hahoi ahni teh lawk bout pacei ngam awh hoeh.
They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
41 Jisuh ni a thaw teh, bangtelamaw Messiah teh Devit capa lah ao han, telah na ti awh.
He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
42 Bangkongtetpawiteh Devit roeroe ni Cathut ni ka Bawipa teh, Na tarannaw hah na khok toungnae lah ka ta hoehroukrak kaie aranglah tahung telah,
David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
43 ka Bawipa ni Sam cauk dawkvah ati na nahoehmaw.
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
44 Hottelah Devit ni Khrih hah Bawipa telah kaw pawiteh bangtelamaw Khrih teh ahnie a capa lah ao thai han, telah a pacei awh.
“David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
45 Rangpui ni a thai navah Bawipa ni a hnukkâbangnaw koe bout a dei pouh e teh,
In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
46 Cakathutkungnaw heh roun awh. Ahnimouh teh angkidung kho hoi kâhlai hane a ngai awh. Hnopai yonae hmuen koe tami pueng ni bari e hah a ngai awh. Sinakok dawk tahungnae a rasangnae hah a lungpataw awh teh, pawitonae koevah bari kaawm e hmuen kahawi a ngai awh.
“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 Lahmainunaw e im hah a lawp awh teh, a yon kamnuek vaih titeh, kasawpoung lah a ratoum awh. Ahnimouh teh hoe kalen e yonphukhangnae a kâhmo awh han atipouh.
who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
