Luke 20 (CTH) · Opened

1Hahoi, hnin touh hnin teh Jisuh ni bawkim vah tami moikapap a cangkhai teh kamthang kahawi a dei lahun nah vaihma bawinaw, cakathutkungnaw hoi kacuenaw a tho awh teh,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.

2hete hnosakthai nahanelah bangpatet e kâtawnnae maw na tawn. Apini maw kâtawnnae na poe dei haw, telah a ti awh.“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Jisuh ni a dei pouh e teh, lawk buet touh na pacei awh vai, nangmouh ni dei awh haw.“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4Jawhan ni baptisma poe thainae kâ a tawn e hah kalvan hoi e maw, tami koehoi e maw, dei awh haw, telah a pacei.John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Ahnimouh ni buet touh hoi buet touh a kâpan awh teh, bangtelamaw ti han. Kalvan hoi e tetpawiteh, hat boipawiteh bangkongmaw Jawhan na yuem awh hoeh telah a dei han. Tami koehoi e doeh telah tet pawiteh,They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6hivah kaawm e taminaw pueng ni Jawhan teh profet roeroe doeh telah a yuem awh dawkvah, ahnimouh ni maimanaw teh talung hoi na dêi awh han, telah ati awh.But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Hatdawkvah ahnimanaw ni, nâ hoi e maw tie ka panuek awh hoeh, telah a dei awh.So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Hahoi Jisuh ni, hat pawiteh kai ni hai bangpatetlae kâtawnnae hoi maw hete hno heh ka sak tie hah ka dei van mahoeh, telah atipouh.And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Hatnavah Jisuh ni taminaw koe bangnuenae lawk a dei pouh. Tami buet touh ni misur takha buet touh a tawn. Takhakatawkkungnaw koe a hlai sak teh, kahlong lah atueng moikasawlah a cei.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.

10Misur paw khi tue a pha toteh, a hlai sak e naw koehoi misurpaw la hanelah, takhakatawkkungnaw koe a san buet touh a patoun. Hatei takhakatawkkungnaw ni a san hah a hem awh teh, kuthrawng lah a pâban awh.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.

11Hahoi alouke a san buet touh bout a patoun navah, a hem awh teh, yeiraipo sak awh teh, kuthrawng lah bout a pâban awh.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Alouke a san hah bout a patoun navah, ka patawpoung lah a hem awh teh a pâlei awh.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13Hatnavah takha katawnkung ni, bangtelamaw ka sak han. Ka pahren poung e ka capa ka patoun han, ahni teh a bari awh han doeh, telah a ti.‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14Hatei, takhakatawkkungnaw niyah, a capa a hmu navah ahni teh râw ka coe hane nahoehmaw, tho awh, thet awh sei. Hat pawiteh doeh ahnie râw hah maimouh ni coe awh ti ati awh.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.’

15Hatdawkvah takha katawnkung e capa hah a man awh, takha alawilah a pâlei awh teh a thei awh. Hottelah pawiteh, takha katawnkung ni bangtelamaw ati han.So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Takhakatawnkung hah koung thet vaiteh, hote takha hah alouke takhakatawkkungnaw koe a poe han telah atipouh. Hote hah taminaw ni a thai navah, hottelah awm hanh naseh, ati awh.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!”

17Jisuh ni ahnimanaw a khet teh, im kasakkung ni, a pahnawt e talung hah a takinlung lah bout ao tie Cakathoung dawk kaawm e lawk hah bangmaw a dei ngai, telah a pacei awh.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’?

18Hote talung dawk ka bawt e pueng teh rekrek a kâbawng vaiteh hote talung ni a bosin e pueng teh vitpatit lah ao han, telah atipouh.Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Hahoi teh vaihma bawinaw, cakathutkungnaw ni hote bangnuenae teh maimouh doeh na dei ngai nah tie a panue awh toteh, Jisuh man nahanelah kho a pouk awh. Hatei kamkhueng e tamihupui hah a taki awh.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.

20Hatnavah Farasinaw ni Jisuh e lawk man pouh hanelah a tawng teh kho kaukkung kâtawnnae katawnnaw e kut dawk poe thai nahanelah, tamikalan lah kâsak e katuetnaw a patoun awh.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.

21Hahoi, Jisuh hanlah, saya, atangcalah na cangkhai teh na dei tie ka panue awh. Hahoi apie minhmai hai na khen hoeh, hatei Cathut e lamthung lawkkatang hah na cangkhai toe.“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.

22Hatdawkvah na dei pouh haw, Sizar koe tamuk poe e hah kaimae phung hoi a kâtaran ou, kâtaran hoeh ou telah a pacei awh.Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Jisuh ni ahnimae huenghaionae hah a panue dawkvah nangmouh ni bangkongmaw kai na tanouk awh.But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24Phoisa phek touh na patue haw, apie mei hoi min maw ka kamnuek telah a pacei navah, ahnimouh ni Rom siangpahrang e mei hoi min doeh atipouh awh.“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Jisuh ni Rom siangpahrang e hno teh Rom siangpahrang poe awh. Cathut e hno teh Cathut poe awh, telah atipouh.So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Hottelah ahnimouh ni taminaw e hma lah a lawk yon a hmu thai awh hoeh dawkvah, kângairu lahoi lawkkamuem lah ao awh.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Duenae koehoi boutthawnae awm hoeh ka tet e Sadusinaw ni Jisuh koe a tho awh teh,Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28Bawipa, tami buetbuet touh niyah ca tawn laipalah, a yu dout takhai pawiteh, a tami a thup hoeh nahanelah, a nawngha ni let awmkhai seh titeh Mosi ni a thut.“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.

29A hmaunawngha sari touh ao awh. A camin ni hmaloe a yu lah a la teh, Ca sak laipalah a due takhai.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30A nawngha ni patuen a okhai teh ca sak laipalah bout a due takhai.Then the second

31Hottelah, buet touh hnukkhu buet touh a due takhai awh teh, hmaunawngha sari touh ni ca sak awh laipalah, hote napui hah be a due takhai awh.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32A hnukteng vah hote napui hai a due van.And last of all, the woman died.

33Hatdawkvah, boutthawnae tue a pha toteh, hote napui hah apie yu lah maw ao han. Hmaunawngha sari touh ni hote napui hah a yu lah a okhai awh toe telah a ti.So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Jisuh ni a dei e teh, atu tueng e taminaw teh a kâpaluen awh, a kâha awh.Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35Hatei, a yungyoe e pang hane hoi duenae koehoi bout thawnae dawk kamcu e taminaw teh kâpaluen awh hoeh, kâhâ awh hoeh toe.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.

36Ahnimouh teh kalvantaminaw patetlah ao awh teh dout thai awh hoeh toe. Ahnimouh teh duenae koehoi bout thaw lah ao toung dawkvah Cathut e ca lah ao awh.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.

37Hothloilah Mosi ni kadout tangcoung e taminaw hringnae dawk bout a thaw awh tie kacaicalah a dei. Hmai ka kang e buruk kong a dei nah Bawipa teh Abraham Cathut, Isak Cathut, Jakop Cathut lah ao a ti.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.’

38Cathut teh kadoutnaw e Cathut na hoeh. Kahringnaw e Cathut doeh. Hote taminaw pueng ni Cathut dawk kahring awh telah atipouh.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Cakathutkungnaw tami tangawn ni, Bawipa, nange na dei e lawk teh atang doeh telah a ti.Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Hahoi ahni teh lawk bout pacei ngam awh hoeh.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Jisuh ni a thaw teh, bangtelamaw Messiah teh Devit capa lah ao han, telah na ti awh.Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Bangkongtetpawiteh Devit roeroe ni Cathut ni ka Bawipa teh, Na tarannaw hah na khok toungnae lah ka ta hoehroukrak kaie aranglah tahung telah,For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43ka Bawipa ni Sam cauk dawkvah ati na nahoehmaw.until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44Hottelah Devit ni Khrih hah Bawipa telah kaw pawiteh bangtelamaw Khrih teh ahnie a capa lah ao thai han, telah a pacei awh.Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Rangpui ni a thai navah Bawipa ni a hnukkâbangnaw koe bout a dei pouh e teh,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46Cakathutkungnaw heh roun awh. Ahnimouh teh angkidung kho hoi kâhlai hane a ngai awh. Hnopai yonae hmuen koe tami pueng ni bari e hah a ngai awh. Sinakok dawk tahungnae a rasangnae hah a lungpataw awh teh, pawitonae koevah bari kaawm e hmuen kahawi a ngai awh.“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.

47Lahmainunaw e im hah a lawp awh teh, a yon kamnuek vaih titeh, kasawpoung lah a ratoum awh. Ahnimouh teh hoe kalen e yonphukhangnae a kâhmo awh han atipouh.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
