Luke 20 (TCZCHONG)

1Nikhat Jesun mipi thu ahil'a Kipana Thupha Hou-In'a aseiphong laiyin, thempu pipuiho, houdan thuhil ho, chule upaho cheng ahengah ahungun.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.

2“Ipi thuneina noiya nangman hiche ho hi nabol ham? Kon thaneina napeh ham?” tin ahung dong uve.“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3“Ken thudoh khat nanei masauvinge” tin adonbut in,“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4“Twilutsah John thaneina chu van'a kon ham ahilouleh mihem a kon ham?” tin adongtai.John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Amaho akihouvun, “Van'a kon ahi tileu hen, ibol'a John na tahsan lou u ham eiti kit diu.They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Ahin iham tin mihem a kon ahi tileu hen, mipin songa eise kit diu, ajeh chu John chu themgao ahi tia apom'u ahi” akitiuvin ahi.But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Hijeh chun achainakeiyin kahepouve tin ahin donbut tauve.So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Chuin Jesun adonbut in, “Achutileh kenjong ipi thuneina noiya kabol ham ti naseipeh pouvinge,” ati.And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Tun Jesun mipi lam angakit in hiche thusim hi aseipeh e: Mikhat hin lengpilei abol in, aloulhou miho kom'ah apedoh in, gamdang khat ah kum sottah thaam dingin achetai.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.

10Lengpi ga khoptup phat alhin in, asohte khat ama chan ding lan asol'e. Ahin loulhou ho chun sohpa chu ahin bolseuvin, avouvin, khutgoh keovin ahin lesol tauve.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.

11Hijeh chun lou neipan soh dang khat asol kit in, ahivangin ama hon ahinsujum kit un, avouvin, khutgoh keovin ahin lesol kit tauve.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Athumna pa asolkit in, chule ama jong chu ahin mavouvin adelmang tauve.”Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13“'Ipi kabol ding hitam?' tin louneipa akihoulim in ahi. 'Kahetai! Keiman kachapa kasahlut tah hi sol'inge. Tahbeh in jana hinpe nauvinte'” ati.‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14“Ahinlah, aloulhou hon achapa amu phat un, amaho akihou som'un, 'Agoulo ding pa ahunge, thatdoh utin agoulo ding hi eiho chang tau hite!'” akitiuve.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.’

15Hijeh chun ama chu lengpilei pam langah akaidoh un athat tauve. “Lengpilei neipa chun amaho chungah ipi bol'in te tia na ngaitouvam?” tin Jesun ahin dongin,So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16“Naseipeh unge–ama hungin tin loulhou ho chu athadoh a lengpilei chu midang asan sah ding ahitai” ati. “Iti khoh hitam chutobang thil aso jeng ding chu,” atiuvin athusei jaho chun ahin donbut uve.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!”

17Jesun amaho chu aven aseitai, “Achutileh, Pathen Lekhabun ipi atina ham? 'Insa hon apaidoh u song chu Inning songpin apangtai,'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’?

18Hiche songpia kipal jouse chu ahal hal'a keh ding, chule achunga lhu chu ipi hijongleh chip ding ahi” ati.Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Houdan thuhil ho le thempu pipui hon Jesu chu kintah a mat ding adeilheh un ahi ajeh chu athusim sei chu amaho kiseina ahi ahin kihetdoh u ahitai–amaho chu loulhou agilou ho chu hiuvah ahi. Ahivangin mipi ho lethuhna chu akichauvin ahi.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.

20Phat kilemchang vepum'in, alamkai houvin avelhi le ding miphalhem asol uve. Jesun seikhel khat neihen Rome gamvaipo kom'ah amatna dingin kipedoh le ti agon u ahi.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.

21ama hon “Houhil, Nangman adih chu nahil'a nasei ahi chule midang lunggel in nasuhboi joulou ahi keihon kaheuve.”“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.

22“Tun nei seipeh un–Caesar henga kai peh ding hi dih hai dihlou ham?” tin adong tauve.Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Aman alungthim bol'u ahi chu ahen aseitai,But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24“Rome te sumpum khat nei vetsah un. Koi lim le thucheng kijih ham achunga chu?” tin adongtai. Ama hon adonbut un, “Caesar a ahi,” atiuve.“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Aman asei kit in, “Aphai ahileh, Caesar a chu Caesar peuvin lang Pathen a chu Pathen peuvin,” ati.So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Chuti chun ama hon mipi masanga athu seikhel'a kipalsah ding atiu chu ajou tapouve. Chusang chun, ama hon athu donbut ho chu kidang asauvin, athipchet tauve.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Chuin Jesu chu Sadducee–hou lamkai, thokitna aumpoi tihon kimupi din ahin naiyun ahi.Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28Hiche thudoh hi adongun ahi: “Houhil, Mose’n dan khat eipeuvin, mikhat chu athia ajinu adalhah a chaneilou ahileh, asopipan hiche meithai chu akichenpi ding, cha aneipi ding hichun asopipa min apoh ding ahi.“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.

29Aphai, tun tekahnan ucha pasal sagi aum'e. A'upen ajineiyin chanei louvin athitai.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30Hijeh chun anina pan akichenpin, ama jong athitai.Then the second

31Chuin athumna pan akichenpi kit in ahi. Hiti hin asagiuvin achelhan abon'uva chaneilou ahi tauve.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Achainan numeinu jong athi tai.And last of all, the woman died.

33Hijeh chun nei seipeh un, thokitna a chu koi ji a pang ding ham? Ajeh chu asagiuva chu akichenpi cheh u anahi!”So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Jesun adonbut in, “Kichen hi hiche leiset chunga cheng miho ding bou ahi.Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35Ahin, ahunglhung ding khang'ah, athilah a konna thoudoh dinga lom ho chu akicheng tapouvin chule chen jong akichensah tapouve.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.

36Chule amaho thikit talou diu, hitia chu amaho van'a Vantil te tobang hidiu ahitai. Amaho Pathen chate ahitauvin chule thoukit chate ahi tauve.”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.

37“Ahin tun, mithi thoukit mong ding hinam ti thudol ah—Mose jengin jong naanglah a meikong thudol asut chun avetsah in ahi. Abraham, Isaac, le Jacob thijou phat sottah jou nungin, Pakai chu 'Abraham Pathen, Isaac Pathen, Jacob Pathen' tia akou ahi.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.’

38Hijeh a chu ama chu ahingho Pathen ahin, athiho a hilou ahi, ajeh chu amaho abonchauva ama a hingah ahi tauve.”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Chukom mun'a ding, houdan thuhil ho phabep khat chun, “Nasei hoiye, houhil” atiuve.Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Chule koiman thudoh adong ngam tapouvin ahi.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Chuin Jesun thudoh toh thon hiche hi aseipeh kit e, “Ipi jeh a Messiah chu David chapa kiti ding ham?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Ajeh chu David ama tah in jong Labua ana jihlut ahi: 'Pakaijin ka Pakai jah a, Kajet lam'a kijana mun'ah touvin,”For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43Namelmate kasuh nem a, Nakengto chotpha a kakoi masang sen,' ati.until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44David in Messiah chu Pakai, tia akou leh, Messiah chu iti David chapa hithei ding ham?” ati.Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Chuin mihonpi jah dingin, aseijui te kom langah akiheiyin aseitai,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46“Hiche houdan thuhil hoa kon hin kichih theiyun! Ajeh chu ama hon vonhoi tah-tah kivon a kailhang lah dunga min chibai aboh diu adeiyun, chule kikhopna in le golvahna mun ho ah touna mun thupi lai lai aholjiuve.“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.

47Ahin, ama hon jahcha louhel in meithai ho anei agou uva konna lheplhah ding agel uvin, chule kilhagao misah tah bangin taona sottah-tah japi lah a amang jiuvin ahi; hiche jeh a hi amaho hatah a bolgimna chang ding ahiuve,” ati.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
