Luke 20 (HWO) · Opened

1Farɗa sǝ Yeeso a tsaharhaha a pǝpal Ƙǝn Faara tǝ thlǝk laɓar Faara na mbǝnggǝn a fiya. Tǝrgha mamnda firistaya tǝ fa sǝngya ngyakhrha, tǝ fingya shingya, wuma nda thlǝmadghǝn ɓa.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.

2Ndang ngganda, “Pǝranggǝn kan tǝ yanggi ngyahadyi na a ǝna ǝngginiya. Wunni furogha ngyahadɗiya?”“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Nggǝmangga Yeeso kanda, ndǝghǝn, “Nggima na Tsakhmee sǝ a miina. Pǝremadghǝn,“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4mbaptisǝma ǝnana Yahaya, Faara fǝrangga ngyakhrha wa, nduwa fiya wa?”John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Tǝrgha tsǝ laɓara nda atenggǝn, ndaa nda, “A ndaa ɗǝm, ‘Faara fǝrangga,’ nǝn a tsakh mee, ‘Kama fǝrwa nun ƙǝkafek tǝghǝn?’They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Amma a ndaa ɗǝm, ‘Fiya fǝrangga,’ fiya na heu nanda a mukƙǝm tǝ ferya, ƙǝsǝr fiya na heu nggǝmndafa tǝ ndaarha, Yahaya annabi ni.”But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Tsaunǝn kee, ndang ngganda, “Sǝngwan mbǝɗi ɓanǝn sa ɓa wa.”So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Ndangga Yeeso kanda, “Nggi ƙǝm mbi pǝranggǝn kun tǝ yanggi ngyahadyi niya ǝna ǝngginiya wa.”And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Ɗǝgha Yeeso mbeeɗǝ tǝ thlǝghang karapu ɗi kanda sǝ ya, ndǝghǝn, “Na niifa sǝ pagha ɗǝfya inabi, dzǝmanggǝnǝn fahuɗaya ha, wiigha hu chehwedɗǝ pak mǝngga ha.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.

10Tsǝna shifirha hai thlǝn mafadghǝn nǝn thlǝmad nafina ɗǝ nzǝmngga hedɗi a ǝnang ǝn hedɗa nda ha. Tǝrgha nafini nzǝmngga hedɗi ɗǝghangganda mafadɗa ɗǝ wuɗangganda ko ˈya a harghǝn.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.

11Nggǝrghǝn thlǝn mafarha ɗǝ, ɗǝkƙǝn nda ƙǝtǝlangganda wuɗangganda kula ˈya a harghǝn.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Nggǝrghǝn thlǝndaɗǝ yi mahan, ǝnang wundǝrha nda fa muwangganda ƙǝsha ɗǝ.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13“Tǝrgha tǝ hedɗi ndǝghǝn, ‘Mani ǝnaarha? Niya thlǝnang waana ɗǝ nggǝmni kaan; asǝmha nanda fǝrang mamnggirha.’‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14“Amma nana nafini nzǝmngga hedɗi wanɗi, tsǝ laɓara nda atenggǝn. Ndaa nda, ‘Yauwaa! Kulo tǝ har langad hedɗiya, nggushi ɓǝlang nǝm, tǝna hedɗi tsaurha yinǝm!’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.’

15Tǝrgha kyangganda sǝ ma hedɗi, ɓǝlangganda. “Mana tǝ hedɗi ǝnang nda kanda?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Nǝn a ɓarha ɓa ɓǝlanggǝn nafina ɗǝ nzǝmngga hedɗi fǝranggǝnǝn nafiya pak.” Sǝkna fiya ndǝn kee, ndaa nda, “A kaptangga Faara ɗǝ.”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!”

17Kǝlangga Yeeso kanda hu yidsǝ ndǝghǝn, “Laɓarɗi chireethleng nanda hai manǝn a ndaarha, “‘ferɗi karna fa tǝngya, ndǝghǝnni tsauka fer sar ƙǝnna’ ”?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’?

18“Kala niifa mukka ten ferɗa hai, nǝn hwasarha fa, amma yi mukna ferɗi tenggǝn hai nǝn a tsarang ɗǝ.”Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Fasǝngya ngyakhrha tǝ mamnda firistaya kaɗa kwaman ƙǝssa Yeeso nda a mbǝɗi, ƙǝsǝr sǝndasǝ karapuɗi thlǝknǝn ya a tendanni. Amma kanda ƙǝm a tǝrǝm fiya.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.

20Nanda a lafghǝn, thlǝn fa harmuya nda ɗǝ, a tsawa nda ƙǝla ka nafiya na tǝ ƙǝkafek fa. Na mindansǝ a ƙǝsangganda Yeeso tǝ ɗimiyirha tǝna nda ɗanggǝn ngwamna ɗǝ na tǝ sǝsǝmnda ha.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.

21Fa harmuyini thlǝn nanda tsahang mee nda Yeeso tǝ ndaarha, “Mala, sǝnɗansǝ pathwa tǝ tsahadwaha nǝghǝn mǝmǝl, sa ƙǝm mba wurahasǝ wa, amma na tsahang kwaman Faara fiya ha tǝ ƙǝkafekkirha.“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.

22Nǝghǝn mǝmǝl a fannan ateng tsamnda nan Kaisar wa, nduwa awo?”Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Kǝlagha Yeeso hai na mindan ɗǝfang takthleera, ndanggǝn kanda,But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24“Kyaɗeema pene ɗi ki Romayini. Shishingnda wunni tǝ thlǝm wunni atenggǝn?”“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Nggǝmangganda, “Yi Kaisar ni.” Ndanggǝn kanda, “Fǝraman Kaisar ˈya tsauka yi Kaisar, tǝ ƙǝm fǝraman Faara ˈya tsauka yi Faara.”So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26A mbǝɗi ƙǝm mbangwanda ƙǝsang tǝ ˈya thlǝknǝn a mbed fiya wa. Na ǝnwulteena nda tǝ tur nggǝmndǝɗi nggǝmang nǝn kanda pa, nggasa nda hai.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Fingya Sadukiyaya, ndagha mbǝ thliirha sǝ hu mǝra wa, ɓa nda thlǝmad Yeeso ɓa tǝ tsakh mee.Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28Ndang ngganda, “Mala, Musa chireethleng ɗa ndǝn kan hai tǝ ndaarha, ‘A mǝr wanman niifa malɗǝ nukkun hai kula nggǝtta, na wanman tǝrangsǝ hu langaarha ka a nggǝɗanggǝn mǝrra wanman sǝ.’“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.

29Nanǝn ya, na nafiya sǝ mǝd a wanmanggi. Tǝ pamǝnda kakhka mǝrgha kula wal wee.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30Yi sǝri tǝranggǝn nuɗasǝ mǝrgha kula wal wee.Then the second

31Yi mahan wai kee. Kanda na heu mǝd tǝrang nda nuɗasǝ mǝra nda kula nuɗi nggǝɗang kanda sǝ.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Akwasamadghǝn, nuɗi ƙǝm mǝrgha.And last of all, the woman died.

33Nanǝnya, ahu thliirha sǝ hu mǝrra na nuɗi tsaurha yi wun tsaunǝn kanda heu mǝd, tǝrang nda nuɗasǝ?”So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Ndangga Yeeso kanda, “A hu ƙǝshiidɗi ya hǝshya a kakhrha, kanda a fǝr nishya a chimadɗǝ.Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35Amma nafiya kamngga a thlii nda sǝ hu mǝra tǝ ƙǝm tsawanda ahu ƙǝshiirha na ɓayi, hǝshya mba nda kakhrha wa, mba nda fǝr nishya a chimadɗǝ wa.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.

36Kanda ƙǝm mba nda nggǝr mǝra wa, ƙǝsǝr na nda ƙǝla fathlǝngya Faara. Tsau nda wangya Faara ƙǝsǝr thliinda sǝ hu mǝra.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.

37Amma aten laɓar ɗǝfǝdɗi na ngguchit ƙǝsgha waarha, ko Musa ma kyadɗa ndǝn a pǝpal tǝ ndaarha, na thliirha sǝ ahu mǝra, ƙǝsǝr aaghǝn Chinǝm, ‘Faara yi Ibrahim, Faara yi Ishaku tǝ ƙǝm Faara yi Yakubu.’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.’

38Mbǝ Faara ni yi mǝrya wa, amma yi fa yibya ni, ahu yighǝn kanda heu nanda tǝ yibrha.”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Fingya fasǝngya ngyakhrha ndang ngganda, “Mala, thlǝkna pathla ngga!”Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40A mbǝɗi, mbǝ niifasǝ nggǝrgha tsahang mee ɓalwa.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Tǝrgha Yeeso ndanggǝn kanda, “Kǝn nanda ndaarha Ƙǝrǝsti Wan Ndauda ni?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Ndauda tǝ atenggǝn ndǝghǝn ahu Dzabura, “‘Chinǝm Faara ndanggǝn China, “Tsawu a yisǝmannaFor David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43ƙǝl ma tsawangɗi fa tsanggiwa a kamu saryiwa.” ’”until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44“Aagha Ndauda nden, ‘Chinǝm.’ Ƙǝƙǝn ƙǝm na nda ndaarha Wan Ndauda ni?”Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Ndanggǝn fatsahayighǝn a mbed fiya,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46“Kwarama tǝ Fasǝngya ngyakhrha. Kanda na mindansǝ kal kaɓaya fa a nanda a wiirha hai a yid fiya. Na mindansǝ a ndangga fiya ˈya kanda ahu kasu. Na mindansǝ ƙǝm a fǝrang mbǝd tsaukya nda kanda na nggǝngga ahu ƙǝngya hwan Faara tǝ mbǝya wutsǝfayirha.“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.

47Kanda ni na hǝb langad nishya mǝrna chimayindan, na nda djib hwan Faara tǝna fiya ndaarha ka nafiya ni kanda. Tur nafiniya na Faara sǝsang kanda kaan ma fingya.”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
