Luk 20
1 Otu ụbọchị, ka ọ nọ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu na-ezi ndị mmadụ ihe na-ekwusakwa oziọma. Ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ozizi iwu na ndị okenye bịakwutere ya.
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,
2 Ha sịrị ya, “Gwa anyị, olee ikike i ji na-eme ihe ndị a niile? Onye nyekwara gị ikike a?”
And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 Ọ zara ha sị, “Aga m ajụkwa unu otu ajụjụ. Gwanụ m,
And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
4 baptizim nke Jọn, o si nʼeluigwe ka o si nʼaka mmadụ?”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
5 Ha kparịtara ụka nʼetiti onwe ha ma sị, “Ọ bụrụ na anyị asị na o sitere nʼeluigwe, ọ ga-asị, ‘Gịnị mere unu na-ejighị kwenye na ya?’
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
6 Ọ bụrụkwanụ na anyị asị na, ‘o sitere nʼaka mmadụ,’ ndị mmadụ ga-atụ anyị nkume, nʼihi na ha niile kweere na Jọn bụ onye amụma.”
But if we say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Ya mere, ha zara, “Anyị amaghị ebe o si bịa.”
And they answered, that they could not tell where it was from.
8 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Enwekwaghị m ike ịgwa unu ikike m ji na-eme ihe ndị a.”
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 Ọ gara nʼihu tụọrọ ndị mmadụ ilu a sị, “Otu nwoke nwere ubi vaịnị, nke o nyefere nʼaka ndị ga-elekọta ya anya ma pụọ gaa njem nʼala ọzọ ebe ọ nọrọ ogologo oge.
Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.
10 Mgbe oge iwe ihe ubi ruru, o zigara otu nʼime ndị ohu ya ka ọ bịakwute ndị ahụ na-elekọtara ya ubi, ka ha nyekwa ya ụfọdụ nʼime mkpụrụ ubi vaịnị ahụ. Ma ndị na-elekọtara ya ubi jidere ya, tie ya ihe, zilaga ya nʼaka efu.
And at the season he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the vinedressers beat him, and sent him away empty.
11 O zigakwara ohu ya ọzọ. Ma ha tikwara ya ihe mee ya ihe ihere, zilakwaa ya nʼaka efu.
And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 O zigakwara onye nke atọ, ma ha merụrụ ya ahụ, chụlaa ya.
And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13 “Mgbe ahụ, onyenwe ubi vaịnị ahụ sịrị, ‘Gịnị ka m ga-eme? Aga m ezigara ha ọkpara m, nke m hụrụ nʼanya, ma eleghị anya ha ga-asọpụrụ ya.’
Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be when they see him they will reverence him.
14 “Ma mgbe ndị na-elekọta ubi ahụ hụrụ ya, ha kwurịtara nʼetiti onwe ha, sị, ‘Onye a bụ onye nketa ihe niile a, ka anyị gbuo ya, ka ihe nketa a bụrụzia nke anyị.’
But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 Ya mere, ha kpụfere ya nʼazụ ubi vaịnị ahụ, gbuo ya. “Gịnị ka onye nwe ubi ahụ ga-eme ha?
So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Ọ ga-abịa, laa ndị ahụ na-elekọta ubi ahụ nʼiyi, were ubi vaịnị ahụ nye ndị ọzọ.” Mgbe ndị ahụ nụrụ nke a, ha sịrị, “Chineke ekwela.”
He shall come and destroy these vinedressers, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, may that never be.
17 O legidere ha anya sị, “Gịnịkwa ka unu chere na ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ pụtara, “‘Nkume ahụ ndị na-ewu ụlọ jụrụ aghọọla nkume nke isi ntọala ụlọ’?
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?
18 Onye ọbụla nke dakwasịrị nʼelu nkume ahụ, ka a ga-etiwasị, ma onye ọbụla ọ dakwasịrị, ka ọ ga-egwepịa.”
Whoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 Ndị ozizi iwu na ndịisi nchụaja chọrọ ụzọ ha ga-esi jide ya nʼotu oge ahụ nʼihi na ha matara na ọ bụ ha ka o bu nʼobi tụọ ilu ahụ, ma ha tụrụ egwu ndị mmadụ.
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.
20 Ya mere, ha chere ya nche nke ọma, ma zipụ ndị nnyopụta, ndị mere onwe ha dịka ndị ezi omume, ka ha chọpụta ma o nwere ụzọ ha ga-esi jide ya site nʼihe ọ ga-ekwu, ka ha site na nke a nyefee ya nʼaka ọchịchị na ike onyeisi ala.
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who pretended to be righteous men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.
21 Ya mere ndị nnyopụta ahụ jụrụ ya sị, “Onye ozizi, anyị mara na i na-ekwu ma na-ezikwa ihe ziri ezi, matakwa na i dịghị ele mmadụ anya nʼihu, kama ị na-ezi ụzọ Chineke dị ka eziokwu si dị.
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:
22 O ziri ezi nʼiwu ka anyị tụọ ụtụ isi nye Siza, ka ọ bụ na o zighị ezi?”
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
23 Ma ọ matara na nke a bụ ajụjụ aghụghọ, ya mere ọ sịrị ha,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt ye me?
24 “Gosinụ m otu mkpụrụ ego denarị. Isi onye ka e sere nʼelu ya, aha onye ka e dekwasịkwara ya?” Ha sịrị, “Ọ bụ nke Siza.”
Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar’s.
25 Ọ sịrị ha, “Ya mere, nyenụ Siza ihe bụ nke Siza, nyekwanụ Chineke ihe bụ nke Chineke.”
And he said to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and to God the things which are God’s.
26 Ha enweghị ike ijide ya nʼihi ihe o kwuru nʼebe ahụ, nʼihu ọha mmadụ. Ọsịsa ya juru ha anya, ha mechikwara ọnụ.
And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Ụfọdụ ndị Sadusii, ndị sị na mbilite nʼọnwụ adịghị, bịakwutere ya
Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
28 ma jụọ ya sị, “Onye ozizi, Mosis deere anyị na ọ bụrụ na nwanne nwoke mmadụ anwụọ hapụ nwunye ya na-amụtaghị nwa, na nwoke dị otu a ga-alụrụ nwunye nwanne ya nwoke ahụ, sị otu a, mụtara nwanne ya ụmụ.
Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man’s brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 Ugbu a, e nwere ụmụnne nwoke asaa, onye nke mbụ lụrụ nwanyị, nwụọ na-amụtaghị nwa.
There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 Nke abụọ kwa
And the second took her for a wife, and he died childless.
31 na onye nke atọ lụrụkwara ya. Nʼotu aka ahụ ha asaa lụchara ya ma nwụọ na-amụtaghị nwa.
And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32 Nʼikpeazụ nwanyị ahụ nʼonwe ya nwụkwara.
Last of all the woman died also.
33 Ya mere, nʼoge mbilite nʼọnwụ nwunye onye ka ọ ga-abụ? Nʼihi na ha asaa lụchara ya?”
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her for a wife.
And Jesus answering said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
35 Ma ndị ahụ a gụrụ dị ka ndị kwesiri isoro keta oke nʼọgbọ ahụ, nakwa na mbilite nʼọnwụ agaghị alụ di na nwunye. (aiōn g165)
But they who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
36 Nʼezie, ha apụghịkwa ịnwụ ọzọ, nʼihi na ha dị ka ndị mmụọ ozi. Ha bụ ụmụ Chineke, nʼihi na ha bụ ụmụ nke mbilite nʼọnwụ.
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37 Ọ bụladị Mosis nʼonwe ya zipụtara na mbilite nʼọnwụ dị, nʼakụkọ banyere ọhịa ahụ na-ere ọkụ, mgbe ọ na-akpọ Onyenwe anyị ‘Chineke nke Ebraham, Chineke nke Aịzik na Chineke nke Jekọb.’
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Ọ bụghị Chineke nke ndị nwụrụ anwụ, kama ọ bụ nke ndị dị ndụ, nʼihi nʼebe ọ nọ mmadụ niile dị ndụ.”
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
39 Ụfọdụ ndị ozizi iwu zara ya sị, “Onye ozizi, ị kwuru nke ọma.”
Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 O nwekwaghị onye ọbụla jụrụ ya ajụjụ ọzọ.
And after that they dared not ask him any question at all.
41 Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Olee otu ha si kwuo na Kraịst ahụ bụ nwa Devid?
And he said to them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?
42 Devid nʼonwe ya kwupụtara nʼakwụkwọ Abụ Ọma, sị: “‘Onyenwe anyị gwara Onyenwe m, “Nọdụ ala nʼaka nri m
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 ruo mgbe m ga-eme ndị iro gị ihe mgbakwasị ụkwụ nye ụkwụ gị.”’
Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
44 Devid nʼonwe ya kpọrọ ya ‘Onyenwe anyị.’ Oleekwanụ otu o si bụrụ nwa ya?”
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
45 Mgbe ndị mmadụ na-ege ntị, ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya,
Then in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,
46 “Kpacharanụ anya nʼebe ndị ozizi iwu nọ. Ndị iyi uwe mwụda na-ejegharị ebe niile na-amasị, ndị hụrụ ekele pụrụ iche bụ nke a na-ekele ha nʼọma ahịa nʼanya. Ndị ọ na-amasịkwa ịnọkwasị nʼoche kachasị elu nʼụlọ ekpere nakwa nʼoche pụrụ iche na mmemme oriri ọbụla.
Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
47 Ha na-eripịa ihe niile dị nʼụlọ ndị inyom ndị di ha nwụrụ anwụ, nʼekpe ogologo ekpere ka a hụta ha. Ndị dị otu a ka a ga-ata ahụhụ dị ukwuu.”
Who devour widows’ houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater condemnation.
