Lukas 20
1 KADEKADEO eu ran ni a kotin kawewe ong aramas akan nan im en kaudok o, o padaki rongamau, samero lapalap, o saunkawewe, iangaki saumas akan ap ko dong i.
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 Potoan ong i indada: Masani ong kit, manaman en is, me komui wiaki mepukat? De is me ki ong komui manaman wet?
They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
3 A kotin sapeng masani ong irail: I pil pan kalelapok meakot re omail, komail en sapeng ia!
He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 En Ioanes a paptais men nanlang, de me ren aramas?
the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 Irail ap lamelame nan pung arail indada: Ma kitail pan inda, men nanlang, a pan masani ong kitail: Da me komail so posonki i?
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
6 A ma kitail inda, me ren aramas, aramas karos ap pan kate kit, pwe re kin wia saukopki Ioanes.
But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 Irail ari sapeng, me re sasa, wasa me a kosang ia.
They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
8 Iesus ap kotin masani ong irail: Ari, I pil sota pan indai ong komail, manaman en is, me I wiaki mepukat.
Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9 A ap kotin tapiada masani ong pokon o karaseras wet: Aramas amen padukedier mat en wain eu, ap liki ong saumat akai, o kokola nan wai ansau warai.
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 A lao ansau, a kadaralang saumat akan ladu men, pwe ren ki ong kisan wan wain. A saumat akan woki i, o kadarala i kaip.
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 A murin met a pil kadarala amen ladu, a re pil woki i, o wia suedi ong, o kadarala i kaip.
He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 A murin met a kadarala kasilimen. A re pil kame i o siken wei sang.
He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
13 Monsap en mat en wain o ap masani: Da me i en wiada? I pan kadarala nai ol kompok, ele re pan masak, ni ar pan kilang i.
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 saumat akan lao kilanger i, rap lamelame nan pung ar indada: Iei i, me pan ale soso, kitail pan kamela, pwen id aneki a soso.
“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 Irail lao kasapoka sang i nan matuel o, ap kamela i. Da me monsap en mat en wain pan wiai ong irail?
Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 A pan kodo kamela saumat pukat, ap liki ong akai a mat en wain. Irail lao ronger mepukat, rap indada: O mepukat sota pan wiaui!
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 A kotin saupei wong irail ap kotin masani: Iaduen wewe en inting wet: Takai o, me sause kasapokela, id wiala takai en pukakaim?
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 Meamen, me pupedi pon takai wet pan ola. A me a pupedi ong poa, a pan kapitaka pasang i.
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
19 I dokan o saunkawewe o samero lapalap akan raparapaki en saikidi i. A re masak aramas akan, pwe re muilikiada, me a karaseras kin irail.
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 Irail ari masamasan i o kadarala liparok kai, me pan wia kin pein irail aramas pung, pwe ren saikikidi i a masan akan ap pangalang saunkapung o manaman en kopina.
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 Irail ari kalelapok re a potoan ong: Saunpadak, kit potoan asa, me ar masan o padak kan me pung, o re sota kotin kupuroki sansal en aramas. Pwe re kin kotin kaukaweweda melel duen al en Kot.
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 Me pung kit en nopwei ong nanmarki, de so?
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 A i kotin mangi ar widing, ap masani ong ir: Da me komail kasongesong kin ia?
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
24 Kasale dong ia denar eu! Mom en is o inting wet? Re sapeng potoan ong: En nanmarki.
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
25 A i kotin masani ong irail: Ari komail ki ong nanmarki, me nain nanmarki, o ong Kot, me sapwilim en Kot!
He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26 Irail ari sota kak saikikidi i a masan akan mon pokon o. Irail puriamuiki me a kotin sapeng, o nenenlata.
They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
27 Sadusär akai, me kin inda, me dene melar akan solar pan maureda, ap kai dong i kalelapok re a,
Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
28 Potoan ong: Saunpadak, Moses intingie dong kit, ma ri ol en amen pan mela, me a paud li dapwan men, ri a ol ap pan paudekida i, pwen kaipwi ong ri a ol na seri kai.
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 Ari, pwin pirien, ol isimen mia, men mas paudeki li amen, ap mela, a sota na seri ko.
There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 A kariamen paude kida li o ap mela a sota na seri ko.
The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31 A kasilimen paude kida i, iduen ir isimen karos, re mela, ap sota nairail seri ko.
The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
32 A ikmuri li o pil mela.
Afterward the woman also died.
33 Ari, ni en me melar akan ar iasada, a pan en is a paud? Pwe ir isimen karos paude kida i.
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 A me war ong ale eu sap o konodi maureda sang ren me melar akan, re sota kin papaud de kapapaud. (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 Pwe re pil solar kak mela. Pwe re paroki ong tounlang kan, o re seri en Kot akan, pwe re seri en kamaur.
For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
37 A duen en me melar akan ar pan maureda, Moses pil kadededa, ni a udial tuka o, ni a kaadaneki Kaun o: Kot en Apraam, o Kot en Isaak, o Kot en Iakop.
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 Pwe Kot kaidin Kot en me melar akan, a en me maur akan, pwe karos memaur ong i.
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
39 A Saunkawewe kai sapeng indada: Saunpadak, ar masan me pung.
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
40 Irail ap solar kak peidok re a okotme,
They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
41 I ari kotin masani ong irail: Iaduen ar indinda, me Kristus nain Dawid?
He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
42 A pein Dawid katitiki nan puk en Psalm: Kaun o kotin masani ong ai Kaun: Mondi ong ni pali maun i.
David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
43 Lao I pan wia kida om imwintiti utepan nä om.
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
44 Dawid ari wia kin i a Kaun, a iaduen a pan kak na ol?
“David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
45 A ni aramas karos rongadar, a kotin masani ong sapwilim a tounpadak kan:
In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
46 Kalaka saunkawewe kan, me kin mauki momait sili nan likau reirei o mauki, aramas en ranamau ong irail nan wasa en netinet akan, o men mondi leppantam nan sinakoke kan o ni tapin tepel.
“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 Me kin ngopur im en li odi kan, liasoski kapakap reirei, mepukat pan pangalang kadeik apwal.
who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
