Luke 20
1 On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and proclaiming the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
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.
2 They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
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.
3 He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
Te dongah amih te a doo tih, “Nangmih te ol pakhat kan dawt saeh lamtah kai n'doo uh.
4 the immersion of Yochanan, was it from heaven, or from men?”
Johan kah baptisma tah vaan lamkah a, hlang lamkah a a om?” a ti nah.
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
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.
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that Yochanan was a prophet.”
'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.
7 They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
Te dongah, “Me lamkah nim, ka ming pawh,” a ti uh.
8 Yeshua said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai loh mebang saithainah neh ka saii khaw nangmih taengah ka thui mahpawh,” a ti nah.
9 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.
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.
10 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.
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.
11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
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.
12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
A pathum nen khaw a rhaep tih a tueih dae te khaw hmalaem la a haek uh.
13 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.’
Te dongah dum boei loh, ' Balae ka saii eh? Ka capa thintlo he ka tueih eh?, anih tah a yahnah uh kaming,’ a ti.
14 “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.’
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.
15 Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
Te dongah anih te a vai uh tih dum voelah a gawnuh. Te vaengah dum boei loh amih te metlam a saii eh?
16 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
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.
17 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’?
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.
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
Tekah lungto aka tlak thil boeih te tah tlawt uh vetih, amah a tlak thil atah amah te tip ni,” a ti nah.
19 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.
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.
20 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.
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.
21 They asked him, “Rabbi, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
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.
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
Kaisar taengah mangmu paek he mamih ham thuem a, thuem pawt a?” a ti nauh.
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
Tedae amih kah rhaithinah te a hmat dongah amamih te,
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
“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.
25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Kaisar koe te Kaisar taengla, Pathen koe te Pathen taengla mael uh,” a ti nah.
26 They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
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
27 Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
Thohkoepnah om pawh tila boe aka koek Sadducee hlangvang long khaw a paan uh tih a dawt uh.
28 They asked him, “Rabbi, 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.
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.
29 There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
Te vaengah boeinaphung parhih lo uh tih, lamhma loh yuu a loh dae cakol la duek.
30 The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
Te phoeiah a pabae loh a pathum loh huta te a loh.
31 The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
Te vanbangla a parhih long khaw camoe om mueh la a caehtak tih duek bal.
32 Afterward the woman also died.
A hnukkhueng ah huta te khaw duek.
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
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.
Te dongah amih te Jesuh loh, “Ta kumhal kah camoe rhoek loh yuloh rhaihlan neh om uh. (aiōn g165)
35 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)
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)
36 For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
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.
37 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.’
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.
38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
Tedae aka duek rhoek kah pawt tih aka hing rhoek kah Pathen ni, anih dongah ni boeih a hing uh,” a ti nah.
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Rabbi, you speak well.”
Cadaek hlangvang rhoek loh a doo tih, “Saya, buelh na thui coeng,” a ti nah.
40 They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
Amah te dawt ham ngaingaih uh voel pawh.
41 He said to them, “Why do they say that the Messiah is David’s son?
Jesuh loh amih te, “Metlamlae Khrih te, ' David capa ni,’ a ti uh?
42 David himself says in the scroll of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
David amah loh Tingtoeng cabu dongah a thui tah, ' Boeipa loh ka boeipa taengah,
43 until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
na rhal te na kho ham khotloeng la ka khueh hlan atah kai kah bantang ah ngol dae,’ a ti,'
44 “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
David loh anih te Boeipa la a khue atah metlamlae a capa la a om eh?” a ti nah.
45 In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
Pilnam boeih kah a yaak ah a hnukbang rhoek te,
46 “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;
“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.
47 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
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.
