Luke 20 (AQK) · Opened

1Arika nung ama Yesu na rir kop arik na dibi tsar andishir, taya ban ba reng ku re, asi abi tok ankpur ankpyingkpyaˈ nebi tsar Musa bing neni aningur andishir bana nyi.One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.

2Asi aba diwu, “Ban kwara tsik asaˈ mi, yami wa nam kiki yaya ma,” asiba di, “Nga na nik wa tsi yi nam kiyama?”“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Yesu ta nyima tadi, “Ngga ma ti rip gina reng. Gina bi ban ngga,“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4gbegbereng ku Yohana ni baftisma kasi ri shu, koka si ku andishir ni?”John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Asi ba reng anne tadi, “Kwara tidi, ya ri shu ti nyi, ati di, ani dung ba kwara ni tawu nyima sang?They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Kwara tidi, ya ri ne ndishir, andishir nidum ba tag kwara ni nkpang, ti koni nga na saˈ ayi tadi Yohana asi ni reng ne antinte Arik.”But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Asi aba diwu, “Ba kwara ni gi ba kami arima baˈ.”So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Asi Yesu adi ba, “Ngga ma, ba ngga ban gina ko asi tsi tama ngga nam kiki yama.”And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Yesu asi avung ban andishir ankpyeng, ta di, “Bana ti nung na nam arum inabi ma, si awa nik anung abi wum, asi awa koma ntun nung ta ti gong amung nga.Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

10Nkpang ku sher inabi kani ti, asi awa tum gan ama nung aba koma ne adera abami nata aruma, aba tawu mumun inabi nung ri aruma. Nema amun abi ta aruma bana tsik wu, siba adung wu ayok akukur.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

11Asi ndishira ya tum gan ama nung, nema bana aya tsik wu masima, siba nik wu shisha si aya dung wu akoma ayok akukur.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Na ya tum gan ni tar, siba aya gyoˈ wu nkpak, siba atok wu agyoˈ abum.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13“Asi ayang nga, atikop ne arum inabi adi, aza'a ngga nam are? Ngga ti tum zu mung awami ngga nyer wu. Iyik mung ati shu ba ayi.‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14“Nema si abi ta aruma ayi wu, siba adi akpa man, uhu. To awami ati gir aruma, dung kwara nwun wu, ti gir aruma.But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

15Siba tog wu agyoˈ gong arum inabi ma, si aba anwun wu. “To, asi ani gina yik ni akikima ati nam ne amun abi ta aruma?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Ati nyi ta mmi abi ta arum inabi abama, ti aba nik abi ta anung.” Mi andishira bana wo ama siba di, “Arik ba tsoˈ a ngura.”He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”

17Nema Yesu na to ba tadi, “Asi ani reng Arik kama kati tsar kwara?” Nkpang yami abi mme na kaˈ, asi ya adza'a si mkpang didik ba baku mme.But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

18Awami ta roku itu mkpang ama, ati dar, nebi nkpang ama ti roku itu ku nung, ya ti koˈ wu dung wu aba ati mumung.Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Ayang nga abi tsar Musa ni abi tok ankpur ankpyingkpyaˈ bana ti aba vung Yesu, mi bana agi naka ban nkpyeng yama atu man, nema bana ti shishi andishir.When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.

20Asi ba wop tsir, siba wang andishir anung aba nam tadi abasi adidik. Siba atum aba rip Yesu mbimban anereng yami ati ban, tiba vung wu, ti aba tsoˈ wu anik etum ni tsi nang aba rop.So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.

21Abami na tum ba bana rip Yesu, tadi, “Nitsra, kwara ni yik reng nebi tsar mi ya si zup, kwara ni ya yik wani tsoˈ koni nga ananan, wa ya tsar tsir ku Arik ming zup.“Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

22Yasi ananan kwara bi wang Kaisar ankor mmimi, ko o'o?”Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Nema Yesu na gi ki nam man, asi awa diba,But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24“Tsar gin ngga dinari ma. Giu yi nga ni saˈ nga si ituma?” Asiba ta nyima, asi yi Kaisar.“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Asi awa diba, “To, gina bi nik Kaisar kiyami si yi Kaisar, ti nik Arik kiyami si ya Arik.”So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Ayang nga baba na gi vung wu ni reng iti andishir. Asi aba kung nunu ta ti shishi tanyima kiyami na ban ba.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Asi Sadukiyawa anung, abami badi ai ba gur abi kpyi, bana nyi ni Yesu, ta rip,Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28“Nitsar, Musa na tse kwara kiki yama tadi, mi zumin ata kuu ta dung uwama basi ne amumun baˈ ya wyer ra zuman aba ta wu tiba nyir wu amumun.“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

29To, na ati andishir anung atangba, kap basi amun wa ne kpa. Nkpyaˈ amana na ta uwama ta kuu sang nga vɨvɨn.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30Ni waa ma nata uwama, ta kuu sang nga vɨvɨn.Then the second

31Mi ni tar ra na ta uwama. Boboˈ gbaˈ tangba man, na ta uwama, ta kpyi sang amumun.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Itong tera, awa uwama na kuu.And last of all, the woman died.

33Adzaˈa, gur yebi kpyi, uwama ati si awu nga? Toba, gbaˈ tangba mana bana tawu.”So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Yesu na diba, “Andishir abi mkpang kama anirum ba ta amba ta nik nnga.Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35Nema abami bati gur ni abi kpyi mkpang ku nyi baba ti nnga baˈ, ko aba ya ta amba baˈ.But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

36Biyi ti aba ya kuu baˈ, ba kam ati mi abi tum Arik. Ba ti si amumun Arik atu yami bana gur yebi kpyi.In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.

37Musa na tsar abum tadi abami na kpyi bati gur. Reng ku tuk kami ni reng atu yi Atikop tidi, asi Arik awu Ibrahim. Arik awu Ishaku, nebi Arik awu Yakub.Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

38Awa basi Arik abi kpyi baˈ, nema awu abi si tsitsir. Yama ni tsar tidi newu koneni ya vɨr.”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Asi anung abi tsar Musa siba ban reng tadi, “Nitsar wa ni ban ananan.”Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Ayang nga, baba na yasi ni susun mi bati rip wu kinung baˈ.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Yesu na rip ba tadi, Asi ani dung gina di Kristi asi zu Dawuda?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Dawuda ni tuma na tse mgbangwu ku Zabura, “ ‘Atikop na di, Atikop. “Jisong koˈ ri mung,For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43ngga ti dung dzen zor wa awok adza mi.” ’until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44Dawuda nadi wu Atikop. Ti asi ni dung ba adi wu asi zu Dawuda?”Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Mi Yesu na ban amun kop ma iti andishir tadi,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46“Gina bi to atumin ne abi tsar Musa, abi nyer sung ntuntur rire tiba retan, ta nyer aba tik ba idup, ba nyer aba nik ba abum ni song didik kop ku bing, nebi bubum yi wyer baku gang.“Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

47Asi ba sibi ri kiki yi akop amba abami aruruman na kpyi, aba ya ben Arik agong nga, ti aba to ba. Ati, rop ba rop mbombom.”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
