Luka 20
1 Dayenli, ke jesu den tundi bi niba ku jaanddiegu cancanli ki muandi ba li laabamanli, ke ku jaanddiegu liiga yaaba cua yeni bi yikodanba yeni u dogu yudanba,
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 ke bi buali Jesu ya buali ne: ... Maadi ti, a kubi ŋmaa yiko ki tuuni, lan yaa ka, ŋma n teni li yiko?
They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
3 Jesu maadi: ... N mɔ pia i buali ke bi buali yi, ŋmiani man nni:
He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 Jan den kubi ŋmaa yiko i, ki wuu bi niba U Tienu ñima? Li den tie U Tienu yiko bii bi niba yiko i?
the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 Ke bi ji buni bulni bi siiga: Ti ya maadi: “Ke U Tienu yiko” o ba buali ti: “Be cedi ke i den ki dugi o po”?
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
6 Ama ti ya ŋmiani: “Ke bi niba”, ku niwulgu ne ba luudi ti a tana ki kpa ti, kelima bi niba ne kuli dugi ke Jan bo tie U Tienu tondo i.
But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 Ke bi maadi ke bi ki bani Jan n bo kubi yua yiko ki tuuni.
They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
8 ... Jesu ŋmiani ba, ke o mɔ ki bani wan kubi yua ya yiko ki tuuni.
Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9 Ke o pua bi niba ya makpanjama ne: ... Ja bá den ŋuu ku damɔngu diidi, ki ggni bi niba ki gedi naani n fagi ki ba waagi.
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 Mi cuama yogu ke o sɔni o tuonsɔnlo, ke wan gedi ki gaa bu kpaabu ligi, ke kpaguula pua ki beli o, baa teni o lbá.
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 Ke o bondaano gɔ sɔni tuonsɔntɔlo. Ke bi gɔ pua o, ki beli o, baa teni o lbá.
He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Canbáa gɔ sɔni tuonsɔntɔlo bonbta po. Ke bi pua ki duoli o mɔ ki beli o.
He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
13 Ke o kpadaano maadi: N tieni ledi? N ba sɔni n biga yaaga ke n ŋanbi ki bua ga. Bi ba fidi ki cɔlni wani.
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 A tuonsɔnla n lá ga ya yogu, ke bi juogi bi ŋmiali nni, ki maadi: “Yua n ti ba di li faali n yeni. Tin kpa o man, ki diedi li faali.”
“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 Ke bi cuo o ki fili o, ki ñani o bu kpaabu nni, ki kpa o. O kpadaano ba tieni a tuonsɔnla yeni ledi?
Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 O ba gedi ki biani a tuonsɔnla yeni, ki taa bu kpaabu ki guuni nitɔba. Li maama po ke bi maadi: “U Tieni n wuoni mani”.
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 Ke Jesu nɔnli ba suoo ki maadi: “I gbia U Tienu lanbona yia diani li tili nni ne ledi? Ya tanli ke a tanmaala bo yie ki luni yeni, laa tanli n ti guani ki tua ku diegu fiagli tanjali.
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 Yua n li baa li tanli po, o ba kɔni kɔni. Li tanli ya baa yua ya po mɔ, li nandi o i yomi yomi.
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
19 Ke U Tienu maama tundkaaba yeni bi salyidkacianba bandi ke li makpanjama nua bani, ke bi ji lingi ke ban cuo Jesu li yogu mɔno, ki jie bi niba.
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 Li po ke bi kpaagi Jesu, ki sɔni bi niba ke bi yini bi bá nimɔnba. Bi bo ba lá i jalgi Jesu maama nni. Yeni, bi bo ba fidi ki cuo o, ki kubni o Romi bado yiko yiko yeni o yudandi nni.
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 Lani ke bi niba yeni ji nagni o: ... Canbáa, ti bani ke a maadi i mɔmɔni, ki gɔ tundi bi niba lan buali maama. A ki jie bi yikodanba, ama a wangi bi niba U Tienu sanu yeni mɔni.
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 To, maadi ti, li buali ke tin ya pa Sesari ti patendi (lonpo) bii laa cabi i?
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 Jesu bani bi janbi maama, ki ŋmiani ba:
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
24 ... Waani nni man bu lugbu dibayenli! ŋma ya nannangu yeni ŋma ya yeli n ye li po? ... Ke bi niba jiini ke Sesari.
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
25 ... To! ke o maadi ba, teni man Sesari yaala n tie Sesari yaali, ki teni U Tienu yaala n tie U Tienu yaala.
He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26 Bi bo ki fidi ki jalgi Jesu o maama nni bi niba siiga. Ke o ŋmiani bo lidi ba, ke bi bo luo ban ba maadi yaala.
They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
27 Sadusehannba, ban yaaba n bo ki tuo ke bi kpienba ti ba fii ku kaagu nni, bi siiga ke bi tɔba nagni Jesu, ki buali o ya buali ne:
Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
28 ... Canbáa, Moyisi diani nni o bo diani yiko ne ki teni ti: Li ya tie ke o nulo kuani o pua, ki kpe ki ki pia biga, o ninjua ń taa o pakuali ki mali o a bila.
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 To, jablile n den ye ki tie kpiiba, o ciamo po kuani o pua, ki kpe kaa pia biga.
There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 Bilie po yua yeni bita po yua yeni yaaba n sieni taa li pua,
The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31 Ke bi kuli kpe kaa pia biga”
The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
32 O pua yeni mɔ ti yuandi ki kpe.
Afterward the woman also died.
33 To, bi kpienba n ba fii ya daali ku kaagu nni, ŋma n ji ba diedi o pua i? kelima bi kuli kuani o.
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
34 Jesu ŋmiani ba: ... Tin dá ye ya ŋanduna ne nni, bi jaba kuandi bi puoba ki bi puoba kuni bi jaba. (aiōn g165)
Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 Ama yaaba ke U Tienu diidi ki sua ke bi ŋani ki dagdi yeni ban fii ku kaagu nni ki kua li ŋandunpanli nni wan kan kuani bi puoba ki gɔ kan kuni bi jaba. (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 Bi kan fidi ki kpe, kelima bi baa tie nani Menekinba yeni, ki tie U Tienu bila, kelima bi ba fii bi kpienba siiga.
For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
37 Ke bi kpinba n fii ku kaagu nni, Moyisi mɔno, bo diani li ya yogu ke o lá ku tuntuugu co u muu: Lan wan ii, o yeli n tie yonbdaano Abrahami Tienu, Isaaki Tienu yeni Jakɔbi Tienu.
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 Ama, U Tienu ki tie bi kpienba Tienu ka, ama fuodba Tienu; lan wan ii, o ya po, li tie mɔmɔni ke yaajanba ta yeni fo.
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
39 Li po, a yikobanda gaa mi maama ki maadi: ... Canbáa, a ŋanbi ki ŋmiani li po.
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
40 Kelima, bi ji bo jie yeni ban buali i buali.
They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
41 Ke Jesu mɔ ji buali ba: ... Li tieni ledi ke bi maadi ke O Tondo ba ña Dafiidi yaabila siiga?
He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
42 Kelima Dafiidi mɔno maadi I Yani tili nni: Yonbdaano maadi n Yonbdaano: Cua ki kali n jienu,
David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
43 Ya caa yeni ya yogu ke n ba cedi a yibalinba ń tua a taaŋmaakaanu.
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
44 Dafiidi yini U Tienu Tondo ke o Yonbdaano: Li ba tieni ledi i o tondo yeni n ya tie o yaabili.
“David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
45 Ke ku niwulgu den cengi o, ke omaadi o ŋɔdkaaba:
In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
46 ... Diidi U Tienu yikobanda yaaba n bua a bogda tiadi lama, ki ŋanbi ki bua ku niwulgu nni, ti jaanddiedi nni yeni ti wondi nni ban ya kaa liiga.
“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 Bi fiedi a pakuana ligi i, ki nan yen sedi ki jaandi lan waagi nani bi tie bi nimɔnba yeni. Bi ya tubŋmaglu n ti baa bia.
who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
