Luke 20 (LGA) · Opened

1Kai rane totonai sa korapa vaivagigalai beto sa taraenia na nongoro jongana tadira na tinoni pa kakabarena zelepade si Jisu, sa qai lao tana sira na kuta iama, ira qai vaivagigalainia na Vavanau, beto ira kaki tinoni mamata,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 pira qarigu, <<Mu ule vanigei moko. Pa neqi sa, beto i sei sa vanigo na neqi sa qu roitiniria ao sira na sakasava aipira?>> qarigunia.“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Poni sa oeria, pira sauniria, <<Ara ba ma nanasanigou mai tugu vei kai nanasa ropi. Mu pojanisiu moko:“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4i sei sa vania na neqi si Jone beto sa papaputaiso tinoni? Na Tamasa pa noka ba ira gu na tinoni?>> sau sisa.John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Poni qai kole vaigonania mekadi sa na rorove, <<Na sa tanagu sa? Vei tana paranga, <Tana Tamasa pa noka,> tanagu, sa kode pira minagunigita, <Ba ai sa vei ko quke vasosotoa?> minagunigita.They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Ba vei tana paranga, <Tadira na tinoni gu,> tanagu, sa kode mai buti tavurunigita na patu ira na minete tinoni pira. Ura ira doru sa qai vasosotoa sa kai tinoni kokorotai tugu tana Tamasa si Jone,>> qarigu.But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Ko qai lao oe veinia gu pira, <<Qeke gigilai,>> qarigu.So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Poni sa pira sauniria i Jisu sira, <<Ego, ko ara ba maneke ule vanigou tugu sa na veveina na neqi sa qa isongia beto qa roitiniria ara na sakasava pira,>> sau si Jisu.And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Beto sa pojaniria mule i Jisu ira na tinoni sa na vavakato vavapada api: <<Koleona sa kai tinoni sa umai na ona inuma qurepi, beto sa vakopuniria kaki tinoni umuma ko mai varoitia sau, beto sa sa taloa riu ko sa suvere vasovai tu pa kai gugusu karovona pa souna sisa.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 sa kamua na totoso papaduku, sa sa garunu laonia tadira sa kai ona nabulu ko mi teku vania na iana na vuadi pa inuma qurepi sau. Ba qai mamajai ira na tinoni umuma sa na nabulu api, beto qai iju vamule gagale palea 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.

11Poni sa garunu laonia mule isa sa kai ona nabulu, ba isa ba qai mamaja vakekea palea mutugu ira na tinoni umuma, beto qai iju vamule gagale palea.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Ba sa garunu laonia mule isa sa na nabulu vinaue. Ego isa sa qai raja vapalekai mutugu ira na tinoni umuma, beto qai gona votu palenia pa peguruna na inuma qurepi.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13Pa liguna sa vei inara sa sa kole rorove sa na tinoni poreona inuma ko pira sau, <Na sa beka sa mana roitinia ara? Ego jongana, ma garunu laonia gu ara sa na tuqu marene isa qa roroqua. Palu isa sa kode mai pangagania,> sau sisa, ko sa valaoa.‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14Ba totonai qai batia ira na tinoni umuma sa na tuna marene isa, poni sa pira qai kole vaingodo vei mekadi, <Api sa na tinoni kode mina teku vakarovoria na isisongo tana tamana sapi! Ariagada ko ta vai pale, ko na isisongo tana tamana sa tana teku vakarovoria noda,> qarigu.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 qai lao gona votu lao palenia pa peguruna na inuma, ko qai vamatea sisa,>> sau si Jisu. <<Ko qu roroqua agou sa ai kode mina roiti veiniria na tinoni poreona inuma sira ka visa tinoni umuma aipira?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Kode kamu vamate beto paleria isa sira doru tinoni qai kopunia na inuma, beto mina vakarovo lao vaniria tu ira na tinoni gotodi tu sa na inuma!>> sau si Jisu. Totonai qai nongoria ira na tinoni sa poja vei inara isa sa pira qarigu sira, <<Dai ko dai! Minake isongo vamalumia na Tamasa sisa!>> qarigu sira.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!”

17Poni sa do tari vatotogasaria i Jisu sira, beto pira sau, <<Na sa ropi na ginuana sa na Kukuti Tabuna, isa pira sau, <Na patu qai kilu palea ira na tinoni vavaturu ruma, sa isa tugu sa na kuta patu viviso.>?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’?

18Isa sa vukelenia pa patu isa sa mina paleka talolomoto tugu, beto isa mina vukele takoa na patu isa sa mina muja vaavavuru veinia na kavu,>> sau si Jisu.Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Ira na kuta iama beto ira qai vaivagigalainia na Vavanau sa qai popodeke ko mai aru tamania si Jisu pa totoso tugu isa qarigu, ura qai gigilai ira sa na vavakato vavapada api sa sa jutu lamegei gu agei qarigu. Ba qaike boka aru tamania ira sisa, ura qai matagutuniria 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 qai kole doro kopunia sa ai totoso ira mai boka tekua kai totoso jongana. Qai garunu golomoria ira sira kaki tinoni, ko mai lao paranga seseke kale mai vei na tinoni tuvisidi qarigu, beto mai podeke vagonai si Jisu pa kaki nanasa sesekedi ko mai boka teku valaoa sisa pa neqi tana qavuna ko mi tajutu qarigu.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.

21Qai lao paranga vei pira sira na tinoni pira tai Jisu, <<Tinoni vaivagigalai, qe gigilaimei agei sa isa qu pojai beto qu vaivagigalainia ao sa na tuvisina. Isa na sosotona beto na soana tana Tamasa sa qu vaivagigalainia ao, beto ko kepore veveidi tamu sira na tuturuna tadira 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.

22Ai vei? Sa tavamalumu tugu pana Vavanau sa agei mene tabara lao takisi ti Siza, ba dai?>> qarigu.Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Ba sa tei dogoro pururia tu i Jisu sa na dia nyonyorava ko pira sauniria sira,But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24Vabatinisiu moko sa kai poata? I sei na isumatana beto na isongona sa sa kole pa poata ina? sau sisa. <<Na bangara Siza,>> qarigu.“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Poni sa pira sauniria i Jisu sira, <<Ego jongana, mu valaoa vania i Siza sira ti Siza, beto mu valao vania na Tamasa sira tana Tamasa!>> sau sisa.So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Qai gabara jolania ira sa nona oe ko qaike vaqeu, beto ko qaike boka vavukelenia ira pa dia seseke sisa pa moedi ira na tinoni.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Ego qai lame tana sira kaki Sadusisi, ira qaike vasosotoa sa na veveina ira na tinoni matedi mai turu mule, ko pira qarigu,Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28<<Tinoni vaivagigalai, pira sau sa sa kuti vanigita i Mosese, <Bi mate loai kai tinoni sa na maqotana ko bi kepore tuna, sa kode na tasina marene tugu mina alavia sa na nabokona isa, ko mina vapore vania na tuna vuana sa na tugana sa tei mate tu poni,> sau.“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 sira ka vitu tamatasi marene. Na tugadi moa sa sa alavia kai rereko ba oqoro pore tuna beto sa mate.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30Ko sa alava beia mutugu isa sa tuti tana pa moa sa na naboko isa, ba sa vei mutugu.Then the second

31Poni sa teku beia mutugu na vinaue, ba sa vei mutugu. Ko qai okoto betodi tu sira ka vitu tamatasi, ba kepore beto tugu na tudia.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Pa liligu tu beto sa mate sa na rereko nanaboko.And last of all, the woman died.

33Ego, ko pa rane mai turu mule ira qai mate sa kode i sei ira ka vitu aipira na maqotana sa na rereko api? Ura ira ka vitu doru sa qai alavia sisa!>> qarigu.So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Poni sa pira sauniria i Jisu sira, <<Na vaialava sa tadira gu na tinoni pa toa pa totoso api,Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35goto ira na tinoni qai pada ko mai kamua na totoso sa korapa lame beto mai turu mule pa mate sa maike vaialava.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 sa maike boka mate sira, goto kode mai suvere vei gu ira na mateana sira, maike mate. Ira sa na koburu tana Tamasa, ura na tavatoa muledi pa mate sira.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 ira na tinoni mai turu mule pa mate sa i Mosese ba sa tei vakabere vanigita tu. Ura pa vavakatona na iku sa vuvurungu memea pa mumuqu sa sa pojai i Mosese sa, <Na Tamasa ti Ebarahami, na Tamasa ti Aisake, beto na Tamasa ti Jekopi,> sau sisa.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 Tamasa tadira na tinoni toadi sisa, nake tadira na tinoni matedi. Ura tana Tamasa sa ira doru sa na toadi beto,>> sau si Jisu.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Poni qai oe sira kaki qai vaivagigalainia na Vavanau, pira qarigu, <<Tinoni vaivagigalai, sa jongana jola sa na mua oe!>> qarigu sira.Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Ego pa liguna isa sa qai pangagania ko qaike tuma nanasa ligu mulea ira na tinoni sisa.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Ego pira sauniria i Jisu sira, <<Ai sa vei ko qai paranga tu sira na tinoni, <Na Karisito sa na Tuna i Devita,> qarigu?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Ba i Devita tugu mekana sa sa paranga vei pira pa buka Kera Vinatarasae, <Pira sau tana qua Bangara sa na Tamasa: mu toqo 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 veiniria na mua tetetena na nenemu sira na mua kana,> sau.until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44Ego sa kukunia na Bangara i Devita sa na Karisito, ba ai sa vei ko mina boka na tuna tu i Devita sisa?>> sau si Jisu.Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Totonai qai korapa vainongoro ira doru tinoni poni sa pira sauniria i Jisu sira nona sepele,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46<<Muna balauniria sira qai vaivagigalainia na Vavanau. Qai popoko vakakakasa, beto qai lelekogo sira. Qai nyoguania bai gosoro qeqeraniria ira na tinoni pa ia mamaketina qarigu. Beto qai vivileria na totoqona tadira na tinoni poreveveidi pa leo ruma vavaikamuna 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.

47Qai raragata tekuria na isisongo tadira na nanaboko, beto qai vavara vakakakasa ko mai tadogoro tadira na tinoni qarigu. Ba na dia vinakilasa sa mina ikerena jola!>> sau si Jisu.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
