Luke 20 (TBX) · Opened

1Bouk ti eno Yesu di teyoxe xomaxoneing eivek tete lalei wei xomek vambuing o me neil Xoulek Nimza wou xel, de xel lumuki leitata me putoung wei petieing o dalus is teivateiv lam tyip wou e.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.

2Xel neil wou e bei, “Neil wou xa, wang qou lei ngandoung me nikanzek tiyon nanghei inya me ghe di wong lulul tiyon angya? Eti wong lei ngandoung on wou wang?”“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Moxo neil elox wou xel, “Ay is ambei nyon ambei teling xam, xam neil wou ay,“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4gyeik ingwei Yoan lipek moux alis vex, inyon lul wei Anutu eivek tyoung gheyapu yo, o lul wei xomaxoneing o?”John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Xel di luk wouma eivek xel venaxow senghoing me neil embei, “Wangwei xey a neimbei lul on Anutu yo, on tyek teling xey, ‘Nambei nya xam seng wongis e?’They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Ekom wangwei xey a neimbei, ‘Lul on xomaxoneing o,’ on tyek moux dalus banex xey en qakous, en xel wongis bei Yoan on poropet.”But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Om xel lewexe, “Xa se woulek bei inyon lam anghei inya.”So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Yesu neil wou xel, “Ay is, tyek a se neil wou xam en lei ngandoung tiwei andi wong lulti beimambei nangya ne.”And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Yesu neil qayeeng pakeing tine wou xomaxoneing bei, “Tambiy ti wong e xe xuk wain ti, dom wou eivek xel xukana valu memend bei xel a mi bo xuk vateivek lek. De e venaxow la dei enden lek beyeeng nge.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.

10Lek bouk wei uleing wain eno moxo wong xukxe ti la wou xel wei di yeiteyei wain o, en embei xel dul wain on neing valu wou e. Ekom xel wei di yeiteyei wain eno leis e me wong e lox mema bandaing.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.

11Moxo wong xukxe nge lox me la no, ekom xel leis e is no me wo niyalenyeing wou e de wong e lox mema bandaing.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Moxo wong xukxe tiwei yal o lox me la no. Ekom xel leis e wo nol me nex e la myayaing.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13“Woyom xuk wain ma neil, ‘Tyek am bong ambei nya? Tyek am bong a neung moux tiwei a laleing vind eno na, bei xel se gwevek e xe qayeeng xeinghembi.’‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14“Ekom gyeik xel xukana yei e neu di lam, eno xel neil wouma bei, ‘Neu moux tine tyek na qou xuk wain. Xey a leis e mey, de xe venaxow a qou xe xe xuk wain ne.’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.’

15Om xel nex moxo la myayaing veil xuk wain de leis e mey. “Om tyek xuk wain ma yon bong vati wou xel?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Moxo tyek nam nyeis xel wei di yeiteyei xuk wain on na mey, de bong xuk wain on wou xel amba.” Gyeik xomaxoneing ngo qayeeng tiyon eno xel neil embei, “Lul ambei nyon eno e se nox qandi no.”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 yei xel kanzek, de teling bei, “Qayeeng tiwei xel byex ne qes ambei nya: “‘Qakous mundeeng ti myaxeeng wei xel kamunda pesek, eno wong ambei qakous tiwei nale me mi byexaxoun xomek o’?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’?

18Xel dalus wei oing me teila lek qakous on tyek bo tiptip. Ekom wangwei qakous tiyon detei lek xelti on tyek bo myapapu.”Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Xel putoung wei petieing o me xel lumuki leitata yo di yimexe sakwaing en xel embei zeimaxoun e lutika, en xel woulek bei neil qayeeng pakeing tiyon lek xel. Ekom xel yaleeng en xomaxoneing.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.

20Xel lumuki leitata me putoung wei petieing o mi yei Yesu teyei teyei, bei bong xel valu na xupekeing me gyei e teyei. Me tyoing lek bei xel bombek bei na ngo e xe qayeeng wei embei neil o, en kandek xel bong e na wou lei ngandoung wei seyap o.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.

21Om xel teling wou embei, “Putoung, xa woulek qayeeng wei wang mi neil me ghe mi teyoxe eno mi la bombek, me wang mi neil qayeeng la teyeima wou moux alis vex wei lei laeing o me lei maeing o. Me qayeeng zonghek eno wang mi teyoxe xel en Anutu xe kwa.“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.

22Woyom wang wou naleim ambei nya, beip inye teyeimbei xey a toung takis wou Sisa o xe se toung?”Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Ekom Yesu woulek bei xel tyoxe e, om neil embei,But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24“Talex selewa ti wou ay. Inye eti tenu me lei di yeip lek?” Xel neil elox bei, “Sisa.”“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Me moxo neil wou xel, “Lul wei Sisa, eno xam ghe bong wou Sisa. De lul wei Anutu, eno xam ghe bong wou Anutu.”So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Om xel se teyeimbei tyoxe e en qayeeng wei e neil o ti eivek moux alis vex mendghalus, om xel etek en qayeeng wei neil elox wou xel o, om xel dei kanzek.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Xel Sadyusi valu wei mi neil embei xel wei mey, eno tyek se qandi lek. Xel lam wou Yesu is telinyeing ti.Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28Xel neil embei, “Putoung, Mose byex qayeeng ti nambei nye wou xey, wangwei tambiy ti dii vex ti ekom mey veil venei de neu ma, ond li e dii vexeiv me bong li wei mey eno neu en mendi zeim li lei xoun.“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.

29Om xel wei lindama eno lim yuw. Tiwei myaxeeng eno ii vex ti ekom mey de neu ma.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30Woyom li nge wei yuw eno ii vexeiv on.Then the second

31De li tiwei yal eno ii vexeiv. Eivek sakwaing ambei nyon eno xel lim yuw wei lindama eno ii vex tiyon me neuyeiw ma, de xel mey.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Dekakom vex tiyon mey loxyus is.And last of all, the woman died.

33Woyom gyeik bouk loxyus wei xel meyeing embei qandi lek, eno eti venei vex tiyon? En moux lim yuw eno ii vex tixemou yon.”So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Yesu neil elox wou xel, “Xomaxoneing wei gweimbeeng ne mi iima me wong vex lox me loum wouma.Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35Ekom eivek bouk loxyus eno moux alis vex wei Anutu neil embei xel teyei lek en ingwei xel embei qandi lek veil meyeing me mendei mapieing, eno tyek se diima o bong xel nox me noum wouma.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.

36Me tyek xel se nox me na mey no, en xel on teyei lek xel angela. Me xel on Anutu neuyeiw, en nambei xel qandi lek veil meyeing.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.

37Ekom Mose talex wou xey bei xel wei mey eno tyek qandi lek veil meyeing, en pavulek wei byex en ingwei nenyex tum lek xax nayaka yo, en taxe Tambiy Ngandoung Anutu wei Apraham o me Anutu wei Isaka yo me Anutu wei Yakop o.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.’

38Moxo se Anutu wei xel meyeing, qe e Anutu wei xel wei mapieing. En eivek Anutu manghalus eno moux alis vex dalus toundei mapieing en e.”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Xel putoung wei petieing o valu ngo qayeeng wei Yesu neil o, om xel neil wou embei, “Putoung, wa xe qayeeng on nimza.”Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40De xelti se teyeimbei bong telinyeing wou Yesu en lulti no.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Woyom Yesu neil wou xel bei, “Nambei nya moux alis vex mi neil embei Kilisi yon Dawit Neu Moux?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Dawit venaxow neil eivek Qapiya Lalo bei, “ ‘Tambiy Ngandoung neil wou a xe Tambiy Ngandoung bei, “Wa mendei wou a memang payeivFor David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43deka a toung wa xe xel vevek na kwanghembi eivek wang le.” ’until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44Dawit taxe e bei ‘Tambiy Ngandoung.’ Nambei nya Kilisi yon Dawit bu?”Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Kale xomaxoneing dalus di ngo qayeeng wei Yesu di neil o, de neil wou e xe xel betiyeing bei,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46“Xam ghe gweiteyei xow en xel putoung wei petieing o, xel laleind mi vind en xel embei mi byex teimb ding me na ghavineeng. Xel laleind mi vind bei xel a mi neil bendiyeing teiv wou xel eivek beyeeng wei xel mi wong vateivek lek lulul o, me xel la mindei lek beyeeng nimza wei mya eivek xomek qekueing ama me xel la mindei lek leitata bend wei mya eivek mata wei ngandoung o.“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.

47Xel mi tyoxe xel vexeiv me panax xel xe xomek. De xel mi wou naleind bei xel nimza om xel mi zeimemend wo ding. Bouk loxyus eno tyek xel wei nambei nyon eno tyek na qou myaveweeng ngandoung.”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
