Luke 20 (GHN) · Opened

1Maka rane totonai za korapa varivagigalai beto za taraeni na nongoro leana tadiria na tinoni pa kakabarena zelepade i Jisu, za qari lao tana ria na kuta iama, ria qari varivagigalaini na Vavanau, beto ria kaki tinoni matamata,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.

2ko ari qari gua vei, <<Mu ule vadigami moko. Pa neqi za, beto i zei za vanigo na neqi za qu roitidi ao ria na zakazava ari?>> qari guni.“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Nari za oeria, ari za gudi vei, <<Ara ba ma nanazadigamu mae tugu vei maka nanaza ropi. Mu pojaniziu moko:“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4i zei za vani na neqi i Jone beto za papaputaiso tinoni? Na Tamaza pa noka ba ria gu na tinoni?>> za gua aza.John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Nari qari kole varigonani makadi za na roverove, <<Na za tana gua za? Vei tana paranga, <Pana tana Tamaza pa noka,> tana gua, za pala ari mina gudigita, <Ba ae za vei ko gamuke vazozotoa?> mina gudigita vei.They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Ba vei tana paranga, <Pana tadiria na tinoni gu,> tana gua, za pala mari buti tavurudigita na patu ria na minete tinoni ari. Ura ria doru za qari vazozotoa za maka tinoni korokorotai tugu tana Tamaza i Jone,>> qari gua.But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Ko qari lao oe veini gu ari, <<Gamike gilagilai,>> qari gua.So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Nari ari za gudi vei i Jisu ria, <<Ego, ko ara ba manake ule vadigamu tugu za na veveina na neqi za qa izongia beto qa roitidi ara na zakazava ari,>> za gua i Jisu.And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Beto za pojadi mule i Jisu ria na tinoni za na vavakato vavapada ani: <<Kolenana za maka tinoni za umani na nana inuma qurepi, beto za vakopudi kaki tinoni umuma ko mari varoitia za gua, beto za taloi keni ko za suvere vazovai tu pa maka guguzu karovona pa zouna aza.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.

10Totonai za kamua na totozo padupaduku, za garunu laoni tadiria za maka nana nabulu ko mi teku vani na iana na vuadi pa inuma qurepi za gua. Ba qari majamajai ria na tinoni umuma za na nabulu ani, beto qari iju vamule galegale paleni gu.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.

11Nari za garunu laoni mule aza za maka nana nabulu, ba aza ba qari majamaja vakekea paleni mutugu ria na tinoni umuma, beto qari iju vamule galegale paleni.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Ba za garunu laoni mule aza za na nabulu vinaue. Ego aza za qari raja vapalekia mutugu ria na tinoni umuma, beto qari gona votu paleni pa peguruna na inuma qurepi.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13Pa liguna za vei zara za kole roverove za na tinoni porenana inuma ko ari za gua vei, <Na za beka za mana roitini ara? Ego leana, ma garunu laoni gu ara za na tuqu marene aza qa roquroqua. Palu aza za pala mari pangagani,> za gua aza, ko za valaoa.‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14Ba totonai qari batia ria na tinoni umuma za na tuna marene aza, nari za ari qari kole varingodo vei makadi, <Ani za na tinoni pala mina teku vakarovoria na izizongo tana tamana ani! Ariagada ko ta vai pale, ko na izizongo tana tamana za tana teku vakarovoria nada,> qari gua.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.’

15Ko qari lao gona votu lao paleni pa peguruna na inuma, ko qari vaukea aza,>> za gua i Jisu. <<Ko gamu roquroqua gamu za ae pala mina roiti veidi na tinoni porenana inuma ari ka viza tinoni umuma ari?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Pala mina kamu vauke beto paledi aza ria doru tinoni qari kopuni na inuma, beto mina vakarovo lao vadi tu ria na tinoni gotodi tu za na inuma!>> za gua i Jisu. Totonai qari nongoria ria na tinoni za poja vei zara aza za ari qari gua vei ria, <<Dai ko dai! Minake izongo vamalumia na Tamaza aza!>> qari gua ria.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!”

17Nari za dogoro tari vatogatogazaria i Jisu ria, beto ari za gua vei, <<Na za ropi na ginuana za na Kutikuti Tabuna, aza ari za gua vei, <Na patu qari kilu paleni ria na tinoni vavaturu ruma, za aza tugu za na kuta patu vizovizo.>?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’?

18Aza za lotuni pa patu aza za mina paleka talomolomoto tugu, beto aza mina lotu takoa na patu aza za mina muja vaavavuru veini na kau,>> za gua i Jisu.Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Ria na kuta iama beto ria qari varivagigalaini na Vavanau za qari podepodeke ko mari aru tamania i Jisu pa totozo tugu aza qari gua, ura qari gilagilai ria za na vavakato vavapada ani za jutu lamegami gu gami qari gua. Ba qarike boka aru tamania ria aza, ura qari matagutudi na tinoni.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.

20Ko qari kole dogoro kopuni za ae totozo ria mari boka tekua maka totozo leana. Qari garunu golomoria ria ria kaki tinoni, ko mari lao paranga sekeseke kale mari vei na tinoni tuvizidi qari gua, beto mari podeke vagonai i Jisu pa kaki nanaza sekesekedi ko mari boka teku valaoa aza pa neqi tana qavuna ko mi tajutu qari gua.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.

21Qari lao paranga vei ari ria na tinoni ari ti Jisu, <<Tinoni varivagigalai, gami gilagilaimami gami za aza qu pojai beto qu varivagigalaini ao za na tuvizina. Aza na zozotona beto na zona tana Tamaza za qu varivagigalaini ao, beto ko kepore veveidi tamu ria na tuturuna tadiria na tinoni.“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.

22Ae vei? Za tavamalumu tugu pana Vavanau za gami mami tabara lao takisi ti Siza, ba dai?>> qari gua.Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Ba za tori dogoro pururia tu i Jisu za na dia nyonyorava ko ari za gudi vei ria,But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24<<Vabatiniziu moko za maka poata? I zei na izumatana beto na izongona za kole pa poata zana?>> za gua aza. <<I bangara Siza,>> qari gua.“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Nari ari za gudi vei i Jisu ria, <<Ego leana, mu valao vani i Siza ria ti Siza, beto mu valao vani na Tamaza ria tana Tamaza!>> za gua aza.So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Qari gabara jolani ria za nana oe ko qarike vaqeu, beto ko qarike boka valotuni ria pa dia sekeseke aza pa moedi ria na tinoni.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Ego qari lame tana ria kaki Sadusisi, ria qarike vazozotoa za na veveina ria na tinoni ukedi mari turu mule, ko ari qari gua vei,Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28<<Tinoni varivagigalai, ari za gua vei za kuti vadigita i Mosese, <Bi uke loia maka tinoni za na maqotana ko bi kepore tuna, za pala na taina marene tugu mina elavia za na nabokona aza, ko mina vapore vani na tuna vuana za na tugana za tori uke tu nari,> za gua.“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.

29Ego ko koledia ari ka vitu tamatazi marene. Na tugadi pa moa za elavia maka reko ba oqoro pore tuna beto za uke.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30Ko za elava sogai mutugu aza za tuti tana pa moa za na naboko aza, ba za vei mutugu.Then the second

31Nari za teku sogai mutugu na vinaue, ba za vei mutugu. Ko qari okoto betodia tu ari ka vitu tamatazi, ba kepore beto tugu na tudi.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Pa liguligu tu beto za uke za na reko nabonaboko.And last of all, the woman died.

33Ego, ko pa rane mari turu mule ria qari uke za pala i zei ari ka vitu ari na maqotana za na reko ani? Ura ari ka vitu doru za qari elavia aza!>> qari gua.So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Nari ari za gudi vei i Jisu ria, <<Na varielava za tadiria gu na tinoni pana toa pa totozo ani,Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35goto ria na tinoni qari pada ko mari kamua na totozo za korapa lame beto mari turu mule pa uke za marike varielava.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.

36Ura totonai za marike boka uke ria, goto pala mari suvere vei gu ria na mateana ria, marike uke. Ria za na koburu tana Tamaza, ura na tavatoa muledi pa uke ria.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.

37Goto na veveina ria na tinoni mari turu mule pa uke za i Mosese ba za tori vakabere vadigita tu. Ura pa vavakatona na iku za vuruvurungu memea pa tokutoku za pojai i Mosese za, <Na Tamaza ti Ebarahami, na Tamaza ti Aisake, beto na Tamaza ti Jekopi,> za gua aza.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.’

38Ko na Tamaza tadiria na tinoni toadi aza, nake tadiria na tinoni ukedi. Ura tana Tamaza za ria doru za na toadi beto,>> za gua i Jisu.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Nari qari oe ria kaki qari varivagigalaini na Vavanau, ari qari gua vei, <<Tinoni varivagigalai, za leana jola za na mua oe!>> qari gua ria.Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Ego pa liguna aza za qari pangagani ko qarike tuma nanaza soga mulea ria na tinoni aza.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Ego ari za gudi vei i Jisu ria, <<Ae za vei ko qari paranga tu ria na tinoni, <Na Karisito za na Tuna i Devita,> qari gua?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Ba i Devita tugu makana za paranga vei ari pa buka Kera Vatarazae, <Ari za gua vei tana qua Bangara za na Tamaza: mu nyumu keta pa kale matuaqu,For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43tinganai mana veidi na mua tetetena na nenemu ria na mua kana,> za gua.until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44Ego za kukuni na Bangara i Devita za na Karisito, ba ae za vei ko mina boka na tuna tu i Devita aza?>> za gua i Jisu.Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Totonai qari korapa vainongoro ria doru tinoni nari ari za gudi vei i Jisu ria nana sepele,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46<<Muna balaudi ria qari varivagigalaini na Vavanau. Qari pokopoko vakakakaza, beto qari lekoleko ria. Qari nyoroguani bari gozoro qeraqeradi ria na tinoni pa ia makemaketina qari gua. Beto qari mijamijataria na nyumunyumuna tadiria na tinoni poreveveidi pa leo ruma varivarikamuna beto pa vavolo.“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.

47Qari ragaragata tekuria na izizongo tadiria na nabonaboko, beto qari varavara vakakakaza ko mari tadogoro tadiria na tinoni qari gua. Ba na dia vinakilasa za mina ikerena jola>> za gua i Jisu.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
