Luk 20
1 Saasiit Jisu ih Rangteenok ni miloong asuh nyootsootta nyia Ruurang Ese tiit baatta adi, romwah phokhoh nyia Hootthe nyootte loong, ah mihak phokhoh loong damdi roong ra rumha no
On one of those days while He was teaching the people in the Temple and proclaiming the Good News, the High Priests came upon Him, and the Scribes,
2 li rumta, “Baat thaak he, an arah loong ah o chaan nawa ih reeraang lu? Arah jen reetheng chaan ah an suh o ih kotaho?”
together with the Elders, and they asked Him, "Tell us, By what authority are you doing these things? And who is it that gave you this authority?"
3 Jisu ih ngaakbaat rumta, “Amadoh sen suh jengkhaap chaak cheng rumha. Baat he,
"I also will put a question to you, "He said;
4 Juungtemte Joon ih juungtem kahoon arah Rangte jiin nawa tama mina jiin nawa chota?”
"was John's baptism of Heavenly or of human origin?"
5 Eno neng chamchiini phang daanmui rumta, “Seng ih mamet baat ih? Seng ih ‘Rangte re nawa’ et li ih bah, ‘Erah ang abah, sen ih Juungtemte Joon ah mamah lahanpi ih han?’ ih li baat he.
So they debated the matter with one another. "If we say 'Heavenly,'" they argued, "he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'
6 Eno ‘Mina re nawa,’ ih mok baat ih bah, arah than miloong ah ih seng ah jong ih paat he, tumeah neng ih Joon ah khowah ih ejen jat et rumta.”
And if we say, 'human,' the people will all stone us; for they are thoroughly convinced that John was a Prophet."
7 Erah thoih ih neng ih amet ngaakbaat rumta, “Seng ih tajatke ma nawa ra taha rah ah.”
And they answered that they did not know the origin of it.
8 Eno Jisu ih li rumta, “Erah ang abah, ngah marah nawa chaan ih jen reelang erah uh sen suh tabaat rumra.”
"Nor will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
9 Eno Jisu ih arah tiitthaak ah miloong suh baatta: “Teewadi mih wasiit ih potiik phek phekta, eno phekphoop phekte suh phek thukta, eno heh ah saaloh dook ih heh nok ni tangtong wangta.
Then He proceeded to speak a parable to the people. "There was a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, let it out to vine-dressers, and went abroad for a considerable time.
10 Eno anggut tiik huitok ah chang ano, changte warah ih phekphoop phekte wah jiinni heh dah ah daapwan ano heh dabbi ah suwang thukta. Enoothong phekphoop phekte loong ah ih dah ah buh rum ano hahuung we ngaakdaap rumta.
At vintage-time he sent a servant to the vine-dressers, for them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dressers beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
11 Eno heh ih dah wahoh we daap wanta; erah uh phekphoop phekte loong ah ih emamah we buh rum ano, heh rakri laandong ruh ih li wanrumta, eno hahuung we ngaakkaat thuk rumta.
Then he sent a second servant; and him too they beat and ill treated and sent away empty-handed.
12 Eno changte warah ih takjom adi wasiit we daap wanta; phekphoop phekte loong ah ih erah warah uh rapne ih buh rum ano, haatkaat rumta.
Then again he sent a third; and this one also they wounded and drove away.
13 Eno phek changte warah ih liita, ‘Ngah ih tumjih et ang nih? Ngah ih nga mongnook sah ah laan daapwan ang; neng ih boleh esoomtu jaatjaat et rum anih!’
Then the owner of the vineyard said, "'What am I to do? I will send my son--my dearly-loved son: they will probably respect him.'
14 Enoothong phekphoop phekte loong ah ih japtup rum ano, neng chamchi ni wasiit wasiit suh hubaat mui rumta, ‘Arah tang changte wah sah joh. Heh ah tek haat ih no, heh nyamka loong ah thong toom kap ih!’
"But when the vine-dressers saw him, they discussed the matter with one another, and said, "'This is the heir: let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'
15 Eno neng ih tekbuh rum ano phaakkhuh ni haatkaat rumta. “Erah ang abah phek changte warah ih phekphoop phekte loong ah tumjih et ah?” Jisu ih cheng rumta.
"So they turned him out of the vineyard and murdered him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 “Heh ah wangha no phekphoop phekte loong ah tek haat et ah, eno wahoh suh we phek thuk ah.” Miloong ah ih erah chaat rum ano edaan et rumta, “Emabah mabah uh tah angka!”
He will come and put these vine-dressers to death, and give the vineyard to others." "God forbid!" exclaimed the hearers.
17 Jisu ah nengko ih sok ano cheng rumta, “Erah ang abah, Rangteele ni arah raangha rah tumjih suh liita? ‘Nok hoonte ih jong ah maak di tachapka ih li ano thaangmuh jong et piihaatta rah, thoontang nang ih elongthoon maak di chapla.’
He looked at them and said, "What then does that mean which is written, "'The Stone which the builders rejected has been made the cornerstone'?
18 O bah uh erah jong khoh adoh dat ah hechep hechep ih jopkhan ah; erah dam ih erah jong ah o sak khonah bah uh mok dat abah, erah mih ah bungwiik nah bunram ih matpat ah.”
Every one who falls on that stone will be severely hurt, but on whomsoever it falls, he will be utterly crushed."
19 Romwah phokhoh nyia Hootthe Nyootte loong ih Jisu ah erarah doh khak suh taat chung rumta, tumeah neng ih ejat et rumta heh ih neng suh li thung ang ano erah tiitthaak ah baat ha eah; enoothong neng ah miloong ra cho rumta.
At this the Scribes and the High Priests wanted to lay hands on Him, then and there; only they were afraid of the people. For they saw that in this parable He had referred to them.
20 Erah thoidi neng ih heh thetre ah hubansok ruh et rumta. Neng ih mararah mih asuh ngun ah hukoleh toongtang likhiik ih diip reeraang thuk rumta, eno leh Jisu reeni mat ih deejoot suh tumjih tumjih diipcheng wang thuk rumta, tumeah Room hate ngoong awang nyia Kobono suh jootkhak kot suh chung rumta.
So, after impatiently watching their opportunity, they sent spies who were to act the part of good and honest men, that they might fasten on some expression of His, so as to hand Him over to the ruling power and the Governor's authority.
21 Heh juujeengte loong ih Jisu suh baatta, “Nyootte, seng ih jat ehi marah an ih nyoot hu rah epun eah. Seng ih jat ehi an ih o ang abah uh ehin elong tadandeeko, erah nang ih mina suh Rangte thungpunjih amiisak tiit ah nyootsoot hu.
So they put a question to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you say and teach what is right and that you make no distinctions between one man and another, but teach God's way truly.
22 Baat thaak he, seng ih Roman Luungwanglong suh, seng Hootthe jun ih sokse ah ekot tam koke?”
Is it allowable to pay a tax to Caesar, or not?"
23 Enoothong Jisu ih neng mongtham ah jat ano li rumta,
But He saw through their knavery and replied,
24 “Ngunkholok ah noisok thaak he. Arah ngun adi o laaphaang ah nyia o men ah?” “Luungwanglong men nyia heh laaphaang,” neng ih ngaak baatta.
"Show me a shilling; whose likeness and inscription does it bear?" "Caesar's," they said.
25 Eno Jisu ih baat rumta, “Ese ang ah, erah ang abah Luungwanglong dabbi ah Luungwanglong suh ju koh an, eno Rangte dabbi ah Rangte suh ju koh an.”
"Pay therefore," He replied, "what is Caesar's to Caesar--and what is God's to God."
26 Erah di noksong ngathong ni neng ih hejeng matjoot jih tajap chaat rumta erah thoidi suusu ih tong rum ano, heh jeng ngaak asuh paatja rumta.
There was nothing here that they could lay hold of before the people, and marvelling at His answer they said no more.
27 Eno mararah Sadusi miloong ih, mina tek nawa tangaak thingka ih liite loong ah, ra rumha no Jisu suh cheng rumta,
Next some of the Sadducees came forward (who deny that there is a Resurrection), and they asked Him,
28 “Nyootte, Moses ih seng suh arah Hootthe ah raangthiinta: ‘Miwah ah tek ano, heh minuh ah sah muh et thiinhaat abah, thaknuh rah etekte no rah ih kap jaatjaat ejih, eno heh sah ah dong tup ano etekte wah sah et thiik ah.’
"Rabbi, Moses made it a law for us that if a man's brother should die, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.
29 Teewadi soophoh wasinet angta; phokhothoon ah ih heh minuh ah kap ano sah muh ih mattiita.
Now there were seven brothers. The first of them took a wife and died childless.
30 Eno minuh rah miidamwah dam adi we chosongta,
The second and the third also took her;
31 erah lilih noolih damdi we chosongta. Emamah soophoh wasinet ah neng sah muh ih matti rumta.
and all seven, having done the same, left no children when they died.
32 Lithoon adi, minuh ah thoon mattiita.
Finally the woman also died.
33 Eno bah, tek nawa ngaakthing sa doh, erah nuh ah o sanuh angtheng ah? Tumeah erah nuh ah soophoh wah sinetnet damdi chosongta.”
The woman, then--at the Resurrection--whose wife shall she be? for they all seven married her."
"The men of this age," replied Jesus, "marry, and the women are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 enoothong minuh miwah o ang abah uh tek nawa jen ngaakthing ete loong nyia lakngah nawa roidong adoh thingtongte loong abah tanook mui rumka ang ah. (aiōn g165)
But as for those who shall have been deemed worthy to find a place in that other age and in the Resurrection from among the dead, the men do not marry and the women are not given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 Neng ah latek thang ih rangsah loong likhiik ang rum ah. Neng loong ah Rangte sah ang ah, tumeah neng tek nawa ngaaksaat rumta.
For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.
37 Eno Moses ih samsek ih jatthuk ha etekte ah ewe ngaakthing ete eah. Bangphook ni we luungta tiit raangha adi Moses ih Teesu suh Abraham Rangte, Isak Rangte nyia Jaakob Rangte ih liita.’
But that the dead rise to life even Moses clearly implies in the passage about the Bush, where he calls the Lord 'The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
38 Heh ah ethingte loong Rangte, etekte Rangte tah angka, heh nawa ih thoontang ah ething.”
He is not a God of dead, but of living men, for to Him are all living."
39 Mararah Hootthe nyootte loong ah toonjengta, “Ese ih ngaakbaat hali, Nyootte!”
Then some of the Scribes replied, "Rabbi, you have spoken well."
40 Eno erah tokkhodi neng ih takah naan cheng rumta.
From that time, however, no one ventured to challenge Him with a single question.
41 Jisu ih cheng rumta, “Kristo ah Dewid sutoom ih mamet mi liita?
But He asked them, "How is it they say that the Christ is a son of David?
42 Tumeah Dewid heh teeteewah ih Dewid Boong leedap adi liiha, ‘Teesu ih nga Teesu suh liita: Nga jaawako adoh tong uh
Why, David himself says in the Book of Psalms, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
43 anpi anra loong ah ngah ih an lakhu nah maang langlang thuk ah.’
Until I have made thy foes a footstool under they feet.'
44 Dewid ih heh suh ‘Teesu’ et liita; erah ang abah, Kristo ah Dewid sutoom mamah mi ang ah?”
"David himself therefore calls Him Lord, and how can He be his son?"
45 Miloong ih heh jeng boichaat rumta adi, Jisu ih heliphante loong suh baatta,
Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to the disciples,
46 “Sen teeteewah Hootthe nyootte loong dowa sokthun samthun ih tong an, neng samsong elootlootwah ih song rum ano thaangsang thengnah mih ih jengseera nyia soomtu ah seechoh rumha; neng ih Jehudi loong rangsoomnok ni tongtheng ese ban thiin thuk nyia sadung theng ni tongtheng ese nah tong suh thunte loong re nawa ah;
"Beware of the Scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and love to be bowed to in places of public resort and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues or at a dinner party;
47 thaknuh loong kaanjuukhu et sok rum ano neng nok ah long et rumha, eno leh rangsoom jeng ah eloot lootwah ih jeng rum leh noisok et rumha! Neng chamnaang theng ah rapne ethithoon ang ah!”
who swallow up the property of widows and mask their wickedness by making long prayers. They will be punished far more severely than others."
