Luke 20
1 Ní ọjọ́ kan, bí ó ti ń kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn ní tẹmpili tí ó sì ń wàásù ìyìnrere, àwọn olórí àlùfáà, àti àwọn akọ̀wé, pẹ̀lú àwọn àgbàgbà dìde sí i.
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 Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Sọ fún wa, àṣẹ wo ni ìwọ fi ń ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí? Tàbí ta ni ó fún ọ ní àṣẹ yìí?”
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 Ó sì dáhùn ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èmi pẹ̀lú yóò sì bi yín léèrè ọ̀rọ̀ kan; ẹ sì fi ìdáhùn fún mi.
"I also will put a question to you, "He said;
4 Ìtẹ̀bọmi Johanu, láti ọ̀run wá ni tàbí láti ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn?”
"was John's baptism of Heavenly or of human origin?"
5 Wọ́n sì bá ara wọn gbèrò pé, “Bí àwa bá wí pé, ‘Láti ọ̀run wá ni,’ òun yóò wí pé, ‘Èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin kò fi gbà á gbọ́?’
So they debated the matter with one another. "If we say 'Heavenly,'" they argued, "he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'
6 Ṣùgbọ́n bí àwa bá sì wí pé, ‘Láti ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn,’ gbogbo ènìyàn ni yóò sọ wá ní òkúta, nítorí wọ́n gbàgbọ́ pé, wòlíì ni Johanu.”
And if we say, 'human,' the people will all stone us; for they are thoroughly convinced that John was a Prophet."
7 Wọ́n sì dáhùn wí pé, “Àwa kò mọ̀ ibi tí ó ti wá.”
And they answered that they did not know the origin of it.
8 Jesu sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ǹjẹ́ èmi kì yóò wí fún yín àṣẹ tí èmi fi ń ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí.”
"Nor will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
9 Nígbà náà ni ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í pa òwe yìí fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ọkùnrin kan gbin ọgbà àjàrà kan, ó sì fi ṣe àgbàtọ́jú fún àwọn olùṣọ́gbà, ó sì lọ sí àjò fún ìgbà pípẹ́.
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 Nígbà tí ó sì tó àkókò, ó rán ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ kan sí àwọn olùṣọ́gbà náà, kí wọn lè fún un nínú èso ọgbà àjàrà náà, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn alágbàtọ́jú lù ú, wọ́n sì rán an padà lọ́wọ́ òfo.
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 Ó sì tún rán ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ mìíràn, wọ́n sì lù ú pẹ̀lú, wọ́n sì jẹ ẹ́ ní yà, wọ́n sì rán an padà lọ́wọ́ òfo.
Then he sent a second servant; and him too they beat and ill treated and sent away empty-handed.
12 Ó sì tún rán ẹ̀kẹta: wọ́n sì sá a lọ́gbẹ́ pẹ̀lú, wọ́n sì tì í jáde.
Then again he sent a third; and this one also they wounded and drove away.
13 “Nígbà náà ni Olúwa ọgbà àjàrà wí pé, ‘Èwo ni èmi ó ṣe? Èmi ó rán ọmọ mi àyànfẹ́ lọ: bóyá nígbà tí wọ́n bá rí i, wọn yóò bu ọlá fún un.’
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 “Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn alágbàtọ́jú náà rí i, wọ́n bá ara wọn gbèrò pé, ‘Èyí ni àrólé; ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a pa á, kí ogún rẹ̀ lè jẹ́ ti wa.’
"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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì tì í jáde sẹ́yìn ọgbà àjàrà, wọ́n sì pa á. “Ǹjẹ́ kín ni olúwa ọgbà àjàrà náà yóò ṣe sí wọn?
"So they turned him out of the vineyard and murdered him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 Yóò wá, yóò sì pa àwọn alágbàtọ́jú náà run, yóò sì fi ọgbà àjàrà náà fún àwọn ẹlòmíràn.” Nígbà tí wọ́n sì gbọ́, wọ́n ní, “Kí a má ri i!”
He will come and put these vine-dressers to death, and give the vineyard to others." "God forbid!" exclaimed the hearers.
17 Nígbà tí ó sì wò wọ́n, ó ní, “Èwo ha ni èyí tí a ti kọ̀wé rẹ̀ pé: “‘Òkúta tí àwọn ọ̀mọ̀lé kọ̀sílẹ̀, òun náà ni ó di pàtàkì igun ilé’?
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 Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ṣubú lu òkúta náà yóò fọ́; ṣùgbọ́n ẹnikẹ́ni tí òun bá ṣubú lù, yóò lọ̀ ọ́ lúúlúú.”
Every one who falls on that stone will be severely hurt, but on whomsoever it falls, he will be utterly crushed."
19 Àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn akọ̀wé ń wá ọ̀nà láti mú un ní wákàtí náà; ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n bẹ̀rù àwọn ènìyàn, nítorí tí wọ́n mọ̀ pé, ó pa òwe yìí mọ́ wọn.
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 Wọ́n sì ń ṣọ́ ọ, wọ́n sì rán àwọn ayọ́lẹ̀wò tí wọ́n ṣe ara wọn bí ẹni pé olóòtítọ́ ènìyàn, kí wọn ba à lè gbá ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ mú, kí wọn ba à lè fi í lé agbára àti àṣẹ Baálẹ̀ lọ́wọ́.
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 Wọ́n sì bí i, pé, “Olùkọ́ àwa mọ̀ pé, ìwọ a máa sọ̀rọ̀ fún ni, ìwọ a sì máa kọ́ni bí ó ti tọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kì í ṣe ojúsàájú ẹnìkan ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ń kọ́ni ní ọ̀nà Ọlọ́run lóòtítọ́.
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 Ǹjẹ́ ó tọ́ fún wa láti máa san owó òde fún Kesari, tàbí kò tọ́?”
Is it allowable to pay a tax to Caesar, or not?"
23 Ṣùgbọ́n ó kíyèsi àrékérekè wọn, ó sì wí fún wọn pé,
But He saw through their knavery and replied,
24 “Ẹ fi owó idẹ kan hàn mí. Àwòrán àti àkọlé ti ta ni ó wà níbẹ̀?” Wọ́n sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Ti Kesari ni.”
"Show me a shilling; whose likeness and inscription does it bear?" "Caesar's," they said.
25 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ẹ fi ohun tí i ṣe ti Kesari fún Kesari, àti ohun tí í ṣe ti Ọlọ́run fún Ọlọ́run.”
"Pay therefore," He replied, "what is Caesar's to Caesar--and what is God's to God."
26 Wọn kò sì lè gbá ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ mú níwájú àwọn ènìyàn: ẹnu sì yà wọ́n sí ìdáhùn rẹ̀, wọ́n sì pa ẹnu wọn mọ́.
There was nothing here that they could lay hold of before the people, and marvelling at His answer they said no more.
27 Àwọn Sadusi kan sì tọ̀ ọ́ wá, àwọn tí wọ́n ń wí pé àjíǹde òkú kò sí wọ́n sì bi í,
Next some of the Sadducees came forward (who deny that there is a Resurrection), and they asked Him,
28 wí pé, “Olùkọ́, Mose kọ̀wé fún wa pé, Bí arákùnrin ẹnìkan bá kú, ní àìlọ́mọ, tí ó sì ní aya, kí arákùnrin rẹ̀ ṣú aya rẹ̀ lópó, kí ó lè gbé irú-ọmọ dìde fún arákùnrin rẹ̀.
"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 Ǹjẹ́ àwọn arákùnrin méje kan ti wà; èkínní gbé ìyàwó, ó sì kú ní àìlọ́mọ.
Now there were seven brothers. The first of them took a wife and died childless.
30 Èkejì sì ṣú u lópó: òun sì kú ní àìlọ́mọ.
The second and the third also took her;
31 Ẹ̀kẹta sì ṣú u lópó: gẹ́gẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni àwọn méjèèje pẹ̀lú: wọn kò sì fi ọmọ sílẹ̀, wọ́n sì kú.
and all seven, having done the same, left no children when they died.
32 Nígbẹ̀yìn pátápátá obìnrin náà kú pẹ̀lú.
Finally the woman also died.
33 Ǹjẹ́ ní àjíǹde òkú, aya ti ta ni yóò ha ṣe nínú wọn? Nítorí àwọn méjèèje ni ó sá à ni í ní aya.”
The woman, then--at the Resurrection--whose wife shall she be? for they all seven married her."
34 Jesu sì dáhùn ó wí fún wọn pé, “Àwọn ọmọ ayé yìí a máa gbéyàwó, wọn a sì máa fa ìyàwó fún ni. (aiōn g165)
"The men of this age," replied Jesus, "marry, and the women are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí a kà yẹ láti jogún ìyè ayérayé náà, àti àjíǹde kúrò nínú òkú, wọn kì í gbéyàwó, wọn kì í sì í fa ìyàwó fún ni. (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 Nítorí wọn kò lè kú mọ́; nítorí tí wọn bá àwọn angẹli dọ́gba; àwọn ọmọ Ọlọ́run sì ni wọ́n, nítorí wọ́n di àwọn ọmọ àjíǹde.
For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.
37 Ní ti pé a ń jí àwọn òkú dìde, Mose tìkára rẹ̀ sì ti fihàn nínú igbó, nígbà tí ó pe ‘Olúwa ni Ọlọ́run Abrahamu, àti Ọlọ́run Isaaki, àti Ọlọ́run Jakọbu.’
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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òun kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run àwọn òkú, bí kò ṣe ti àwọn alààyè, nítorí gbogbo wọn wà láààyè fún un.”
He is not a God of dead, but of living men, for to Him are all living."
39 Nígbà náà ni àwọn kan nínú àwọn akọ̀wé dá a lóhùn, pé, “Olùkọ́ ìwọ wí rere!”
Then some of the Scribes replied, "Rabbi, you have spoken well."
40 Wọn kò sì jẹ́ bi í léèrè ọ̀rọ̀ kan mọ́.
From that time, however, no one ventured to challenge Him with a single question.
41 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Èéṣe tí wọ́n fi ń wí pé, ọmọ Dafidi ni Kristi?
But He asked them, "How is it they say that the Christ is a son of David?
42 Dafidi tìkára rẹ̀ sì wí nínú ìwé Saamu pé: “‘Olúwa sọ fún Olúwa mi pé: “Ìwọ jókòó ní ọwọ́ ọ̀tún mi
Why, David himself says in the Book of Psalms, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
43 títí èmi ó fi sọ àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ di àpótí ìtìsẹ̀ rẹ.”’
Until I have made thy foes a footstool under they feet.'
44 Ǹjẹ́ bí Dafidi bá pè é ní ‘Olúwa.’ Òun ha sì ti ṣe jẹ́ ọmọ rẹ̀?”
"David himself therefore calls Him Lord, and how can He be his son?"
45 Ó sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ ní etí gbogbo ènìyàn pé,
Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to the disciples,
46 “Ẹ máa kíyèsára lọ́dọ̀ àwọn akọ̀wé, tí wọ́n fẹ́ láti máa rìn nínú aṣọ gígùn, tí wọ́n sì fẹ́ ìkíni ní ọjà, àti ibùjókòó ọlá nínú Sinagọgu, àti ipò ọlá ní ibi àsè;
"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 Àwọn tí ó jẹ ilé àwọn opó run, tí wọ́n sì ń gbàdúrà gígùn fún àṣehàn, àwọn wọ̀nyí náà ni yóò jẹ̀bi pọ̀jù.”
who swallow up the property of widows and mask their wickedness by making long prayers. They will be punished far more severely than others."
