Luke 20
1 And it happened that, on one of the days when he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Gospel, the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, gathered together with the elders,
Pea pehē, ko e [ʻaho ]ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻi heʻene akonaki ki he kakai ʻi he falelotu lahi, mo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei, naʻe haʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi pea mo e mātuʻa,
2 and they spoke to him, saying: “Tell us, by what authority do you do these things? Or, who is it that has given you this authority?”
Mo nau lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Talamai kiate kimautolu pe ko e pule fē ʻoku ke fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko hai ia ne ne tuku ʻae pule ni kiate koe?”
3 And in response, Jesus said to them: “I will also question you about one word. Respond to me:
Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Te u fehuʻi foki kiate kimoutolu ha meʻa ʻe taha; pea tala mai kiate au:
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?”
Ko e papitaiso ʻa Sione, naʻe mei he langi ia, pe mei he tangata?”
5 So they discussed it among themselves, saying: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’
Pea nau fealēleaʻaki, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he langi;’ te ne pehē mai, ‘Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate ia?’
6 But if we say, ‘Of men,’ the whole people will stone us. For they are certain that John was a prophet.”
Pea kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he tangata;’ ʻe lisingi ʻaki ʻae maka ʻakitautolu ʻe he kakai kotoa pē: he ʻoku nau ʻilo pau ko e palōfita ʻa Sione.”
7 And so they responded that they did not know where it was from.
Pea naʻa nau pehēange, kuo ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe naʻe mei fē ia.
8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Pea ʻe ʻikai te u tala kiate kimoutolu pe ko e pule fē ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.”
9 Then he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, and he loaned it to settlers, and he was on a sojourn for a long time.
Pea naʻa ne kamata lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni ki he kakai; “Ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha naʻa ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he kau tauhi ngoue, pea fononga mamaʻo ia ʻo fuoloa ai.
10 And in due time, he sent a servant to the farmers, so that they would give to him from the fruit of the vineyard. And they beat him and drove him away, empty-handed.
Pea hokosia ʻae toʻukai, pea ne fekau ʻae tamaioʻeiki ki he kau tauhi ngoue, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻomi kiate ia ha fua ʻoe ngoue vaine: ka naʻe teʻia ia ʻe he kau tauhi ngoue, ʻonau kapusi ia taʻehaʻanemeʻa.
11 And he continued to send another servant. But beating him and treating him with contempt, they likewise sent him away, empty-handed.
Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻe taha: pea naʻa nau teʻia foki ia, pea lahi ʻenau fai kovi [kiate ia], mo nau kapusi taʻehaʻanemeʻa.
12 And he continued to send a third. And wounding him also, they drove him away.
Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻa hono toko tolu: pea naʻa nau teʻia foki ia, ʻonau lī [ia ]kituaʻā.
13 Then the lord of the vineyard said: ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps when they have seen him, they will respect him.’
Pea toki pehē ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine, ‘Ko e hā te u fai? Te u fekau atu hoku foha ʻofaʻanga: heiʻilo ka nau ka mamata ai te nau fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia.’
14 And when the settlers had seen him, they discussed it among themselves, saying: ‘This one is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance will be ours.’
Ka kuo mamata ki ai ʻae kau tauhi ngoue, pea nau fealēleaʻaki, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko eni ʻae foha hoko: haʻu ke tau tāmateʻi ia, kae ʻatautolu ʻae tofiʻa.’
15 And forcing him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do to them?”
Pea naʻa nau lī ia kituaʻā ngoue vaine, ʻo tāmateʻi [ia]. “Pea ko e hā ʻe fai ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine kiate kinautolu?
16 “He will come and destroy those settlers, and he will give the vineyard to others.” And upon hearing this, they said to him, “Let it not be.”
ʻE haʻu ia ʻo fakaʻauha ʻae kau tauhi ngoue ko ia, pea tuku ʻae ngoue ki he kakai kehe.” Pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo [ai], naʻa nau pehē, “Ke ʻoua ʻaupito.”
17 Then, gazing at them, he said: “Then what does this mean, which is written: ‘The stone which the builders have rejected, the same has become the head of the corner?’
Pea vakai atu ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “Ka ko e hā eni kuo tohi, ‘Ko e maka naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kau tufunga, kuo hoko ia ko e fungani [maka ] tuliki?’
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be shattered. And anyone upon whom it falls will be crushed.”
Ko ia ia ʻe tō ki he maka ko ia, ʻe mafesifesi ai ia; ka ko ia ʻe tō ki ai ia, ʻe momosi ia ʻo efu.”
19 And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, were seeking to lay hands on him in that same hour, but they feared the people. For they realized that he had spoken this parable about them.
Pea naʻe holi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi ʻi he feituʻulaʻā pe ko ia ke nau puke ia; ka naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai: he naʻa nau ʻilo kuo ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni kiate kinautolu.
20 And being attentive, they sent traitors, who would pretend that they were just, so that they might catch him in his words and then hand him over to the power and authority of the procurator.
Pea naʻa nau lamasi [ia], ʻonau fekau atu ʻae kau mataki ke nau fai fakafieangatonu, koeʻuhi ke nau femioekina ia ʻi heʻene lea, ka nau tukuange ai ia ki he mālohi mo e pule ʻae pule.
21 And they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and that you do not consider anyone’s status, but you teach the way of God in truth.
Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoku ke lea mo ako totonu, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke fai filifilimānako, ka ʻoku ke akonaki ʻaki ʻae hala ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he moʻoni.
22 Is it lawful for us to pay the tribute to Caesar, or not?”
ʻOku ngofua ke mau ʻatu ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, pe ʻikai?”
23 But realizing their deceitfulness, he said to them: “Why do you test me?
Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻenau kākā, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahiʻi ai au?”
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” In response, they said to him, “Caesar’s.”
Fakahā mai ʻae tenali. “Ko e mata mo e tohi ʻa hai ʻoku ʻi ai?” Pea nau lea, ʻo pehēange, “ʻA Sisa.”
25 And so, he said to them: “Then repay the things that are Caesar’s, to Caesar, and the things that are God’s, to God.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ʻatu kia Sisa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻa Sisa, pea ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua.”
26 And they were not able to contradict his word before the people. And being amazed at his answer, they were silent.
Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa femioekina ia, ʻi heʻene ngaahi lea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai: pea naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene lea, mo nau fakalongo pe.
27 Now some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached him. And they questioned him,
Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻae niʻihi ʻoe Satusi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu; ʻonau fehuʻi kiate ia,
28 saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote for us: If any man’s brother will have died, having a wife, and if he does not have any children, then his brother should take her as his wife, and he should raise up offspring for his brother.
“ʻo pehē, ʻEiki, naʻe tohi ʻe Mōsese kiate kimautolu, “Kapau ʻe mate ʻae tokoua ʻo ha tangata, ka ʻoku ai hono uaifi, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau, ke maʻu ʻe hono tokoua ʻa hono uaifi, ʻo fakatupu ʻae hako ki hono tokoua.
29 And so there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and he died without sons.
Pea naʻe ai ʻae kāinga ʻe toko fitu: pea maʻu ʻe he ʻuluaki ʻae uaifi, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau.
30 And the next one married her, and he also died without a son.
Pea maʻu ia ʻe he toko ua ko hono uaifi, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau.
31 And the third married her, and similarly all seven, and none of them left behind any offspring, and they each died.
Pea maʻu ia ʻe hono toko tolu; pea pehē pe ō aʻu ki hono toko fitu: ka naʻa nau mate taʻehaʻanaufānau.
32 Last of all, the woman also died.
Pea mate fakamui foki ʻae fefine.
33 In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For certainly all seven had her as a wife.”
Ko ia ʻi he toetuʻu ko e uaifi ʻo hai ia ʻiate kinautolu? He naʻe maʻu ia ʻe he toko fitu ko honau uaifi.”
34 And so, Jesus said to them: “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e fānau ʻa māmani ʻoku mali pea foaki ke mali: (aiōn g165)
35 Yet truly, those who shall be held worthy of that age, and of the resurrection from the dead, will neither be married, nor take wives. (aiōn g165)
Ka ko kinautolu ʻe ʻaonga ke maʻu ʻae mama ko ia, mo e toetuʻu mei he mate, ʻe ʻikai te nau fakamaau pe foaki ke fakamaʻu: (aiōn g165)
36 For they can no longer die. For they are equal to the Angels, and they are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe mate: he ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kau ʻāngelo; mo e fānau ʻoe toetuʻu.
37 For in truth, the dead do rise again, as Moses also showed beside the bush, when he called the Lord: ‘The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
Ka ko e fokotuʻu ʻoe mate, naʻe fakahā [ia ]ʻe Mōsese, mei he ʻuluʻakau, ʻi heʻene ui ʻae ʻEiki ‘ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake, mo e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.’
38 And so he is not the God of the dead, but of the living. For all are alive to him.”
He ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe mate, ka ko e moʻui: he ʻoku moʻui kotoa pē kiate ia.”
39 Then some of the scribes, in response, said to him, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”
Pea leaange ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau tangata tohi, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, kuo ke lea totonu.”
40 And they no longer dared to question him about anything.
Pea hili ia naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai mo ha fehuʻi kiate ia.
41 But he said to them: “How can they say that the Christ is the son of David?
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fēfē ʻenau lau ko Kalaisi ko e foha ʻo Tevita?
42 Even David himself says, in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand,
Kae pehē ʻe Tevita ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi Saame, ‘Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki, Nofo koe ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu,
43 until I set your enemies as your footstool.’
Kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe.”’
44 Therefore, David calls him Lord. So how can he be his son?”
Ko ia naʻe ui ia ʻe Tevita ko e ‘ʻEiki,’ pea ko hono foha fēfē ia?”
45 Now in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē,
46 “Be cautious of the scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and who love greetings in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the first places at table during feasts,
“Vakai ki he kau tangata tohi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau manako ke ʻalu mo e kofu fakatōtōlofa, mo nau leleiʻia ʻi he fetapa ʻi he ngaahi potu fakatau, mo e nofoʻanga māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi falelotu, mo e potu lelei ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga;
47 who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayers. These will receive the greater damnation.”
ʻOku nau faʻao ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, mo fai fakalōloa ʻae ngaahi lotu ʻi he kākā: ʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu ni ʻae malaʻia lahi.”
