Luke 20
1 Pea pehē, ko e [ʻaho ]ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻi heʻene akonaki ki he kakai ʻi he falelotu lahi, mo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei, naʻe haʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi pea mo e mātuʻa,
And it came to pass on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the good news, the chief priests and the scholars with the elders stood near.
2 Mo nau lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Talamai kiate kimautolu pe ko e pule fē ʻoku ke fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko hai ia ne ne tuku ʻae pule ni kiate koe?”
And they spoke, saying to him, Tell us, by what authority are thou doing these things? Or who is he who gave thee this authority?
3 Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Te u fehuʻi foki kiate kimoutolu ha meʻa ʻe taha; pea tala mai kiate au:
And having answered, he said to them, I also will ask you one word, and ye tell me.
4 Ko e papitaiso ʻa Sione, naʻe mei he langi ia, pe mei he tangata?”
The immersion of John, was it from heaven or from men?
5 Pea nau fealēleaʻaki, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he langi;’ te ne pehē mai, ‘Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate ia?’
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
6 Pea kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he tangata;’ ʻe lisingi ʻaki ʻae maka ʻakitautolu ʻe he kakai kotoa pē: he ʻoku nau ʻilo pau ko e palōfita ʻa Sione.”
But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are convinced John is a prophet.
7 Pea naʻa nau pehēange, kuo ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe naʻe mei fē ia.
And they replied not to know from where.
8 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Pea ʻe ʻikai te u tala kiate kimoutolu pe ko e pule fē ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.”
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 Pea naʻa ne kamata lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni ki he kakai; “Ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha naʻa ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he kau tauhi ngoue, pea fononga mamaʻo ia ʻo fuoloa ai.
And he began to speak this parable to the people. A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to farmers, and went abroad for a considerable time.
10 Pea hokosia ʻae toʻukai, pea ne fekau ʻae tamaioʻeiki ki he kau tauhi ngoue, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻomi kiate ia ha fua ʻoe ngoue vaine: ka naʻe teʻia ia ʻe he kau tauhi ngoue, ʻonau kapusi ia taʻehaʻanemeʻa.
And at the season he sent a bondman to the farmers, so that they would give him from the fruit of the vineyard. But having beaten him, the farmers sent him away empty.
11 Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻe taha: pea naʻa nau teʻia foki ia, pea lahi ʻenau fai kovi [kiate ia], mo nau kapusi taʻehaʻanemeʻa.
And he proceeded to send another bondman. And they, having beaten and shamefully treated, sent him also away empty.
12 Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻa hono toko tolu: pea naʻa nau teʻia foki ia, ʻonau lī [ia ]kituaʻā.
And he proceeded to send a third. And they also having wounded this man, cast him out.
13 Pea toki pehē ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine, ‘Ko e hā te u fai? Te u fekau atu hoku foha ʻofaʻanga: heiʻilo ka nau ka mamata ai te nau fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia.’
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will be made ashamed after seeing this man.
14 Ka kuo mamata ki ai ʻae kau tauhi ngoue, pea nau fealēleaʻaki, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko eni ʻae foha hoko: haʻu ke tau tāmateʻi ia, kae ʻatautolu ʻae tofiʻa.’
But when the farmers saw him, they deliberated among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, so that the inheritance may become ours.
15 Pea naʻa nau lī ia kituaʻā ngoue vaine, ʻo tāmateʻi [ia]. “Pea ko e hā ʻe fai ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine kiate kinautolu?
And having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 ʻE haʻu ia ʻo fakaʻauha ʻae kau tauhi ngoue ko ia, pea tuku ʻae ngoue ki he kakai kehe.” Pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo [ai], naʻa nau pehē, “Ke ʻoua ʻaupito.”
He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. And having heard it, they said, May it not happen!
17 Pea vakai atu ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “Ka ko e hā eni kuo tohi, ‘Ko e maka naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kau tufunga, kuo hoko ia ko e fungani [maka ] tuliki?’
But having looked upon them, he said, What then is this that is written, The stone that those who build rejected, this became the head of the corner?
18 Ko ia ia ʻe tō ki he maka ko ia, ʻe mafesifesi ai ia; ka ko ia ʻe tō ki ai ia, ʻe momosi ia ʻo efu.”
Every man who falls on that stone will be broken, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust.
19 Pea naʻe holi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi ʻi he feituʻulaʻā pe ko ia ke nau puke ia; ka naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai: he naʻa nau ʻilo kuo ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni kiate kinautolu.
And the chief priests and the scholars sought to throw hands on him in the same hour. And they were afraid, for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.
20 Pea naʻa nau lamasi [ia], ʻonau fekau atu ʻae kau mataki ke nau fai fakafieangatonu, koeʻuhi ke nau femioekina ia ʻi heʻene lea, ka nau tukuange ai ia ki he mālohi mo e pule ʻae pule.
And having watched him, they sent forth insidious men pretending themselves to be righteous, so that they might take hold of his word, in order to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
21 Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoku ke lea mo ako totonu, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke fai filifilimānako, ka ʻoku ke akonaki ʻaki ʻae hala ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he moʻoni.
And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou speak and teach rightly, and thou do not accept a personage, but teach the way of God in truth,
22 ʻOku ngofua ke mau ʻatu ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, pe ʻikai?”
Is it permitted for us to give tribute to Caesar or not?
23 Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻenau kākā, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahiʻi ai au?”
But having perceived their craftiness, he said to them, Why do ye try me?
24 Fakahā mai ʻae tenali. “Ko e mata mo e tohi ʻa hai ʻoku ʻi ai?” Pea nau lea, ʻo pehēange, “ʻA Sisa.”
Display to me a denarius. Whose image and inscription has it? And having answered, they said, Caesar's.
25 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ʻatu kia Sisa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻa Sisa, pea ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua.”
And he said to them, Then render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.
26 Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa femioekina ia, ʻi heʻene ngaahi lea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai: pea naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene lea, mo nau fakalongo pe.
And they were unable to lay hold of his word before the people. And having marveled at his answer, they were silent.
27 Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻae niʻihi ʻoe Satusi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu; ʻonau fehuʻi kiate ia,
And some of the Sadducees having approached, those who say there is no resurrection, they questioned him,
28 “ʻo pehē, ʻEiki, naʻe tohi ʻe Mōsese kiate kimautolu, “Kapau ʻe mate ʻae tokoua ʻo ha tangata, ka ʻoku ai hono uaifi, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau, ke maʻu ʻe hono tokoua ʻa hono uaifi, ʻo fakatupu ʻae hako ki hono tokoua.
saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, if any brother dies, having a wife, and this man dies childless, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 Pea naʻe ai ʻae kāinga ʻe toko fitu: pea maʻu ʻe he ʻuluaki ʻae uaifi, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau.
There were therefore seven brothers. And the first having taken a wife, died childless.
30 Pea maʻu ia ʻe he toko ua ko hono uaifi, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau.
And the second took the woman, and this man died childless.
31 Pea maʻu ia ʻe hono toko tolu; pea pehē pe ō aʻu ki hono toko fitu: ka naʻa nau mate taʻehaʻanaufānau.
And the third likewise took her, and likewise also the seven; they left behind no children, and died.
32 Pea mate fakamui foki ʻae fefine.
And last of all the woman also died.
33 Ko ia ʻi he toetuʻu ko e uaifi ʻo hai ia ʻiate kinautolu? He naʻe maʻu ia ʻe he toko fitu ko honau uaifi.”
In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them does she become? For the seven had her as wife.
34 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e fānau ʻa māmani ʻoku mali pea foaki ke mali: (aiōn g165)
And having answered, Jesus said to them, The sons of this age marry, and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 Ka ko kinautolu ʻe ʻaonga ke maʻu ʻae mama ko ia, mo e toetuʻu mei he mate, ʻe ʻikai te nau fakamaau pe foaki ke fakamaʻu: (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 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe mate: he ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kau ʻāngelo; mo e fānau ʻoe toetuʻu.
For neither can they die any more, for they are like the agents, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 Ka ko e fokotuʻu ʻoe mate, naʻe fakahā [ia ]ʻe Mōsese, mei he ʻuluʻakau, ʻi heʻene ui ʻae ʻEiki ‘ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake, mo e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.’
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the Bush when he calls the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 He ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe mate, ka ko e moʻui: he ʻoku moʻui kotoa pē kiate ia.”
Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.
39 Pea leaange ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau tangata tohi, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, kuo ke lea totonu.”
And some of the scholars having answered, they said, Teacher, thou said well.
40 Pea hili ia naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai mo ha fehuʻi kiate ia.
For they no longer dared to question him anything.
41 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fēfē ʻenau lau ko Kalaisi ko e foha ʻo Tevita?
And he said to them, How do they say the Christ is David's son?
42 Kae pehē ʻe Tevita ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi Saame, ‘Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki, Nofo koe ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu,
Even David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
43 Kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe.”’
until I will place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
44 Ko ia naʻe ui ia ʻe Tevita ko e ‘ʻEiki,’ pea ko hono foha fēfē ia?”
David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē,
And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,
46 “Vakai ki he kau tangata tohi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau manako ke ʻalu mo e kofu fakatōtōlofa, mo nau leleiʻia ʻi he fetapa ʻi he ngaahi potu fakatau, mo e nofoʻanga māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi falelotu, mo e potu lelei ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga;
Beware of the scholars, who desire to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at the feasts,
47 ʻOku nau faʻao ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, mo fai fakalōloa ʻae ngaahi lotu ʻi he kākā: ʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu ni ʻae malaʻia lahi.”
who devour widows' houses, and in pretence make long prayers. These will receive greater damnation.
