Luke 20
1 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,
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.
2 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
Hana kaw saithainaak ing nu vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ve na sai? Anik pekung u aw? kqawn lah,” tina uhy.
3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
Anih ing, “Cawhtaw awi pynoet awh ni doet khqi lah vang nyng; kqawn law lah uh,
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
Johan a baptisma ve khan ben na kaw nu, am awhtaw thlanghqing ben awhkaw nu?” tinak khqi hy.
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
Cawh a mimah ce doet qu uhy, Khan benna kaw,” ni ti man, ‘cawhtaw kawtih amna mik cangnaak,’ tina hlyk khqi vik.
6 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
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.
7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
Cedawngawh a mingmih ing, “Han benna kaw hy voei nu, am sim unyng,” tina uhy.
8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
Jesu ing, “Cawhtaw hana kaw saithainaak ing vawhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ka sai tice ap kqawn hly lawt nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
9 Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
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.
10 And at the 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.
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.
11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
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.
12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
A tyizoeih a pakthumnaak ce tyi bai hy, anih ce awm a leem kqoengna khawng bai uhy.
13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
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.
14 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.
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.
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
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?
16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
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.
17 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?
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?
18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
U awm ce alung awh ak tlu taw kqek kawm saw, a namkhqi khqoet taw a dik a huina coeng kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
19 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.
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.
20 And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
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.
21 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:
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.
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or no?
Kaisar a venawh mangmu peek ve ak thym nu, amak thym nu?” tina uhy.
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
A mingmih a thainaak ce a sim oel oel a dawngawh,
24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cæsar’s.
Ami venawh, “Tangka denari ce nim huh lah uh; uang myihlip ingkaw ming nu ak awm?” tinak khqi hy.
25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which be Cæsar’s, and unto God the things which be God’s.
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.
26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
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.
27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
Thawhtlaihnaak am awm hy amik ti Sadusi thlang vang tloek ing Jesu doet aham law uhy.
28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
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.
29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
Cingnahqui thlang khqih awm uhy. Lamma cyk ing zu lo hlai hy, ca a taak kaana thih tahy.
30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
A pakkhihnaak ing zuna tlaih nawh,
31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
cekcoengawh a pakthumnaak ing zuna tlaih bai hy; ca pynoet awm a taak kaana ak khqihna ce thi boeih uhy.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
A hukhit nataw cawhkaw nu awm thi lawt hy.
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
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.
34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
Jesu ing, “Ve khawmdek thlangkhqi ing zu lo va ta uhy; (aiōn g165)
35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
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)
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
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.
37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
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.
38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
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.
39 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
Anaa awi cawngpyikung thlang vang ing, “Cawngpyikung, nak kqawn ce thym hy,” tina uhy.
40 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
Cekcoengawh kawng taw u ingawm awi am doet voel uhy.
41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?
Cekcoengawh Jesu ing cekkhqi venawh, “Ikawmyihna a mingmih ing Khrih ve David Capa tinawh amik kqawn hy voei?
42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
David amah ingtaw Saam cabu awh: Bawipa ing ka Bawipa a venawh:
43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Na qaalkhqi ce na khawtloeng na ka sai hlan dy taw, kak tang benawh ngawi lah,” tinawh kqawn hy.
44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
David ing anih ce ‘Bawipa,’ tinawh khy hy. Cawhtaw ikawmyihna a capa na a awm hly thai?” tinak khqi hy.
45 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
Thlangkhqi ing ak awih kqawn ce a ming ngai huiawh, Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh,
46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
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.
47 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
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.
