Luke 20 (MGH2016)

1Nihuku nimoka Yesu veettuchiha awe u Inupa ya Nlhuku, ahimiachaka Malhove Orera, opochera ishaani olhupalhe ni owiittuchiha Malhehero, vamoka ni ashulhupalhe wahowiya,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.

2nkayaamwiirelha, “Nnihimerie! Nnopanga chi chittu chi wo ikuru ya apani?”“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Yesu nkaakhulha, “Nkani ni mii kuukoheni nlhove. Nkakihimerieni etu,“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4ikuru i Nayohana yo waabatiiza attu yaakhumme wa Nlhuku wiirimu ama wa attu?”John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Nkayaachokholha ukohanacha ashineneru, “Nimwaakhulheke chani? Neeraka, ‘Wa Nlhuku wiirimu’ no wiira, ‘Chani woonaka khamwaarumelhenlhe Nayohana ayo?’They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Neerakaru, ‘Yaakhumme wa attu,’ alha attu onkhaye alha anoonata malhuku, ukhalhawaya attu onkhaye yanrumelhelha wiira Nayohana aari anamilhohi a Nlhuku.”But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Paahi etu nkayaakhulha wiira, “Hii khanichuwenlhe waakhumme aya.”So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Yesu nkeerelha, “Ata mii akinouhimeriani kimpanga chii wo ikuru yo ukhuma vayi.”And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Paahi Yesu nkaahimeria attu nna nlhikaaniho nna, “Ahaawo ntu mmoka aalhimme imata yo zabibu, nkaashimiha wa anamalhima, nkaarwa nkwaha wo utayi.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.

10Nlhaalha waayeke, nkanruma karumiya arwee apochere mahalha o izabibu. Nansho anamalhima alhe nkayaamwata karumiya uyo, nkayanhokolhosha mathatharu.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.

11Nkayanruma karumiya nkina, nansho anamalhima ayo nkayanruwanakacha, nkaahokolhia mathatharu.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Nkanruma tho karumiya o neraru, anamalhima ayo nkayanrakalhiha ni uyo, ni umwoomolha umatani.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13Yamalhekeru anene imata yo zabibu nkayeera, ‘Vano kiireke chani? Kinonruma mwaamwanaka kinonttuna aka, ulha anokonlhoha!’‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14Nansho anamalhima vaamwonne aya, nkayeeracha ashineneru, ‘Ulha phi mwaamwanaya nohalha uhiyeriya nhakhu. Nngwee nimwiive, nhakhu awe uyo ukhalheke wawihu!’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.’

15Paahi etu nkayankakhelha uchereshere imata yo zabibu nkayaamwiiva.” Yesu nkaakoha, “Vano anene imata ayo, anohalha weeriha chani anamalhima alhe?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Anene imata ayo anowa weeva yayo anamalhima ayo, ni uwaashimiha attu akina imata aya iyo.” Attu veewilhe aya, nkayeera, “Mena ahiniphwanye hii yayo!”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!”

17Yesu nkaaweha nkaakoha, “Haya etu alha Malhove Matakatifu alha anohimiani? ‘Nlhuku nikhotiye ni atheki wiira khaninlhoka nihokhalha vano nlhuku no nsingi no vakhoonani.’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’?

18Ntu riyoothe nohalha ukwakwathuwa nenno nlhuku nno nowunthakiacha, ni nno nammulhuwelhaka ntu, ninonhararia.”Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Owiittuchiha Malhehero ni opochera ishaani olhupalhe nkayaalhikacha ummara Yesu vavawo, ukhalhawaya ahochuwelha wiira aahimiacha nenno nlhikaaniho nno aachaka, nansho nkayoova attu.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.

20Paahi nkayaavia ikatema yoombone. Nkayaahonga attu o wiipangapanga arwee yankohache chookohiya choonria. Vavawo apatte iphiro yo ummara ni unrweeha wa attu o ikuru yo utawara o Urumi.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.

21Yayo attu yaarumiye ayo, nkayaamwiirelha, “Owiittuchiha, nihochuwelha wiira, nri o wiiraniha. Nihochuwelha wiira, khannomova ntu, nnohimiacha ikeekhene yo iphiro ya Nlhuku.“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.

22Nnihimerieke etu, iri yo urera ama yo unanara hii waalhiva ikhodi Nakaisari?”Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Nansho Yesu ahochuwelha nriankho aya uyo, nkeerelha,But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24“Nkakooniheni nikhobilhi no nchurukhu. Ilha ikhove ni nchina nna cha apani?” Nkayaakhulha, “Chi Nakaisari.”“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Paahi Yesu nkeera, “Morera, paahi etu, mwaalhiveke Nakaisari iri ya Nakaisari, ni unlhiva Nlhuku iri ya Nlhuku.”So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Nkayoochelha ummara wo nlhove niriyoothe vaattuni vawo, paahi nkayaamaalha athikhinaka chenre awe wo waakhulha.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Amasadukayo akina, attu yaakhota wiira attu akhwilhe kanhihimwa, nkayaawa wa Yesu unkohani, nkayeera,Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28“Owiittuchiha, ashinna Musa ahonilhehera wiira, ‘Nlhopwana akhwaakaru ni waahiya mahanu awe ahinayara, ahima awe akelheke manupa annyarelheke ashaana ntu khwilhe uyo.“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.

29Ahaawo ashilhoko saba o irukulhu imoka, olhupalhe ayo ahothelha nkaakhwa wo uhaahiya ashaana.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30O nayelhi nkaakhelha manupa,Then the second

31o neraru chiicho. Nkayeeriya chiichammo wa attu saba onkhaye nkayaakhwacha wo haahiya ashaana.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Wo umalhihera opani ayo nkayaakhwa.And last of all, the woman died.

33vano etu, nihuku no uhihimushiya attu akhwilhe nno, apani anohalha ukhalha phi owannyaya athiyana alhe? Ukhalhawaya onkhaye saba ahaathelha.’ ”So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Yesu nkaakhulha, “Attu o ilha ilhapo ilha anoothelha ni uthelhiya,Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35nansho attu Nlhuku nohalha awe waahihimusha ikatema yo uhihimushiya attu, khanowa aathelha mena uthelhiya.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.

36Anowa ukhalha thoko minepa mena khanowa aakhwa. Anowa ukhalha ashaana a Nlhuku ahihimushiye nnookhwani.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.

37Nansho ashinna Musa ahomalha uhimiecheshani wiira attu akhwilhe anoohihimushiya nnookhwani. Vari nlhako unohimiacha mwaha wo ithuphi yaapharelha, inohimia wiira, Athithi phi, ‘Nlhuku a Aburahimu ni Nlhuku a Naisaka ni Nlhuku a Nayakhobo.’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.’

38Paahi etu ri Nlhuku a attu akumi, kahiwe a attu akhwilhe, ukhalhawaya uwannyawe khaawo nookhwa.”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Owiittuchiha akina nkayeera, “Owiittuchiha, vavawo nhaakhulha rata!”Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40olhumanche chiicho ukhalhawaya khayaarina chookohiya chikina tho.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Yesu nkaakoha, “Inooria chani wiira Kuristo thanlhiye ni Nlhuku, mwaana a Adaudi?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Adaudi anene nhina ichipo cho Izaburi aneera, ‘Athithi aheerelha Athithi, Nkhalheke wiimonono wakaFor David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43mpaka vanohalha aka waathalha amalhaponi inyu wuuthi inyaa chinyu wiira mwaakalhelhe.’until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44Yakhalhaka Adaudi ehanne yayo, ‘Athithi’, vano etu, ineeria chani Moopolhi ukhalha mwaana a Adaudi?”Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Attu onkhaye vaari aya amwiiwelhelhaka, Yesu nkeerelha owiittucha awe,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46“Mwiichinanelheke ni owiittuchiha Malhehero, anottuna weetakacha anawanre ikuwo cho utalhiva ni uchivelhiya ukohachiya wo nthimicho vakittu vanopangachiya maronda, athanlhaka mapuro o nthimicho mmanupani mwo unlhapelha Nlhuku ni mmanupani munoterekhiya ikaramu,“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.

47anaathurulhacha anankhwelhi ni wiipanga attu o ulhapelha wo ulhapelha ikatema yinchi! Yayo anowa uhukumulhiya ntwarusho wo uweria chinene!”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
