Luke 20 (BGG) · Opened

1Nai jia Isu yi Misiahò shii yua srane Mua Wie yao ramuii shii, boh phabi nane Iphey yao pha masdothek nane dukhothek branthek sha hà ò shii wuii thog ruiiOne 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.

2chiih-è ithek è aishii yao, “Gathek shii yao riig, na shii hì pha blia rek pha rangsua hanyie miphi lei?”“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Isu è ithek shii chang, “Gu de nathek shii mushai sai riig. Yao riig,“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4Jon Khowo phi pha rangsua ne Hamangkhung-aphuii è wuii ne ba asi pha bran è wuii ne ba?”John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Awaithek chung jao ne khnaing rai, gethek nyie khi-èrek chang sharai pha lei? Gethek è ai ne Hamangkhung-aphuii è wuii phro è yao arone, ai ne gethek shii yao din ruii, nyie rek ne, ji arone, ithek Jon shii migi arek lei?They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Jishii Jon ne bran è wuii phro è yao arone ichiih um pha bran phiing è gethek shii ne labao rek ne chao phro, nyieliieshii ithek ne Jon shii ne chaig ro è thieg.But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Jishii ithek è chang, gathek ne athieg ro Jon ro rangsua ne khi è thog.So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Chiih-è Isu è de ithek shii chang, ji arone, gu de nathek shii ayao phro, Gu è hì pha blia nyie rangsua è rek pha ji.And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Chiihphado shii Isu è branthek shii ji pha najang ji yao: Luang jia shii bran jia è raig shii angur hai srane, chiih-è raig rek pha gai bran shii raig chui marui srane ruang hà wuii dun.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.

10Angurthek khrab pha ishak thog mage shii ai è awai khiao jia shii raig chei phi pho shii airo mathang yamiing yie pha thoh ge. Jishii raig chei pho è khiao jishii ne zuang srane nyie de aphi pha iidoh thoh ge.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.

11Ji-è gai khiao jia shii thoh ge; jimagunde raig chei phothek è aishii zuang srane, chiih-è biwo yao srane aishii de isloi iidoh hà thoh ge.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Chiihphado shii dinne awai khiao yoh jiashii de thoh bage ba, chiih-è raig chei pha bran è aishii de bajo zuang srane, chiih-è fuang hà fenmuii.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13Chiihphado, angur raig muspho è yao, gu nyie khi-èrek sha phaga? Gu gui ro bushun dufuii shii thoh sha ge phro; ji arone ithek aishii ne ilab phi rek!‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14Jishii raig chei pho è aishii riig mage ne awaithek chung yao rai, hì ne raig ithong pha dufuii ro. Ji-è cho gethek ne aishii ua muii haro, chiih-è airo nuruii ne gethek ro rey phro!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.’

15Ji-è ithek aishii angur raig è fuang hà noh srane aishii ua muii. Isu è sai, ji è rek mage shii ji pha raig muspho è raig chei phothek shii nyie rek phlei?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16“Ai ne wuii srane ji pha branthek shii ua muii phro, chiih-è angur raig yi gai raig chei phothek wad shii phi muii phro.” Ithek è ji yoi mage shii, ithek è yao, “Ji duiine arey dang rabo!”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!”

17Isu è ithek shii riig srane sai, “Chiihphado, hì pha jigigam ne nyie zey phlei? ‘Rung phothek è lubao shii awie ro è snai muii pha ji ne dinne zab è bajo mugak lubao rey din.’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’?

18Hanyie magunde ji pha lubao lakhung shii chiih arone ismed rey dun phro; chiih-è ji pha lubao è hanyie lakhung shii chiih magunde, aishii ihab rey dang pha chao dun phro.”Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Iphey yao pha masdothek nane boh phabithek Isu è ji pha miyao ne ithek shii gidieg rek ne yao phrone thieg ne ji pha ithua shii zum pha bidiang, jimagunde ithek ne branthek shii rum.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.

20Ji-è ithek ne jo mua pha ji riig ne rai. Ithek è giak branthek shii Lugu phi ne ithek shii bran isiie rone doh yi, chiih-è ithek è jithek shii Isu shii mushai sai ne ichag sow pha thoh ge, ji è ithek è aishii ne Roman Badri pha blu nane riichai shii phi muii pha rek.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.

21Ji pha bujuiiphothek è Isu shii yao, “Masdo, gathek ne thieg na è nyie yua nyie yao pha ji ne izai chak ro, chiih-è gathek ne thieg nane bran boh ìu um ne de achua, jimagunde nane Hamangkhung-aphuii è branthek shii nyie chid pha izai ji yua.“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.

22Gathek shii yao riig bo, gathek è Roman Bisiu shii mijin phi pha ji ne Iphey shii zen ne ba, asi azen ba?”Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Jishii Isu è ithek mirek pha ichiig jishii wie riig srane ithek shii yao,But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24Gu shii liiman pha sikhi jia riig yi mage. Hì shii hanyie midong nane hanyie beng zey ne um lei? Ithek è chang, hì ne Bisiu beng zey ne um ro.“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Ji-è Isu è yao, “Chiihphado, wie, nyie yi Bisiu ro awai shii phi bo, chiih-è nyie yi Hamangkhung-aphuii ro awai shii phi bo.”So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Thiihchiih branthek ibi shii aishii azum mua, ji è ithek aro dang pha rai srane, Isu muchang ji nuii ne wiengphleg dun.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Chiihphado bran yi iy ne ahòi din phro è yao pha ji shii izai anow pha giak Sadusithek wuii thog srane Isu shii yao,Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28Masdo, Moses è hì è yao ne gathek shii zey ne zen marui: bran jia iy dun shii ai yiy yi ani agiak ba pha thoh marui arone, ji pha misiungmuii shii ne ji pha bran ikhuii è yie ne ani nya giak mua phro ji pha arone iy dun pha bran pha ani rey phro.“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.

29Luang jia ithek khuiino miley um shii; zab è dukho ji è yiy yie srane ani agiak ba pha iydun,Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30chiihphado è ji pha hò-amuii shii sulong nyi pha ikhuii è ji pha hò-amuii shii yie din,Then the second

31chiih-è dinne uom pha ji è de ji è rek, ji duiine zab khuiino miley shii de ji è rey dun ne ithek ne ani agiak pha iy dun,and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32iidohhè shii ji pha hò-amuii de iy dun.And last of all, the woman died.

33Ji-è iy ne hòi din pha inai thog mage shii, ithek miley è yiejong pha hò-amuii ji ne hanyie ro yiy rey phlei?So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Isu è ithek shii chang, “Sieng pha ishak shii ne hò-aphuii hò-amuii ne ayiy agey rai phro,Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35Jishii giong hò-aphuii hò-amuii dinne thog pha ishak shii iyjong hòi din mage shii ne ayie agey sharai phro.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.

36Ithek ne hamangkhliie duiine rey dun phro chiih-è khuchung de a-iy mua phro. Ithek ne Hamangkhung-aphuii pha dufuii rey sha phro, nyieliieshii ithek ne iy pha ji è hòijong ge ro.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.

37Chiih-è iy ne hòi din phro è Moses è wie doh yijong ro, jigigam shii de zey ne um ro ai è baihang pha jabiing shii Ithong pha miyao ne Abraham pha Hamangkhung-aphuii, Isakh pha Hamangkhung-aphuii, chiih-è Jakhob pha Hamangkhung-aphuii, shii yao.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.’

38Ai ne sieng pha Hamangkhung-aphuii ro, iy pha asi ro, ai pha chiang è zab sieng mua phro.”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Iphey yao masdo giak è yao, “Masdo, wie chang ro!”Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40ji è ithek ne aishii dinne miyao asai mua.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Isu è ithek shii sai, hì ne nyie khi-èrek ne Masi ne Dawid riing ro è yao mua phlei?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Dawid awai è sthun jigigam shii yao, Ithong è gui Ithong shii yao: Gui phazoi shii dug bo.For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43Gu è na mak pho shii na lai iliing hà aruii sapho shii ne.until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44Dawid è aishii Ithong ro ho; chiihphado, khi-èrek ne Masi ne Dawid ro riing rey phlei?Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Branthek zab aishii yoi ramuii shii, Isu è awai samoythek shii yao,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46Iphey yua pha Masdothek è nowbthan ne rai bo, ithek ne yung phiang guii srane lua yang bie ne bajarai hà ithek shii khung ne ilab phi pha ji shii bajo miie; chiih-è Jewish misiahòthek hà de ithua wie gua ne dug, chiih-è michie chie pha ishak shii de ithua wie shii gua ne dug.“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.

47Hanyie thek ne misiungthek è phua srane ithek hò shii riao maphi, chiih-è briig yi pha misiathek de bajo phiang sia! Ithek shii ne zab awiedang pha lago phi ruii phro.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
