Luke 20 (ULK1902)

1Nerute gerger, E ereuerem abele ged ge, muige zogo meta, a etomeret debe mer, a uiaba zogozogo le giz a aotale giz, a aule giz ekue;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.

2A uiaba abi detager, kega, Mase ma keribi detager, Nalu abele sirdam ma ikeli abele gaire lu? nete le mari ikuar abele sirdam?“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3E uiabi detaut, kega, Kaka uabi itimer netate merem: ua kari natagerare:“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4Nako Ioane ra bapataiso nagelam, nako kotorlam, nako lelam?John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5A ui mer batagerare, kega, Ese meriba detaut kotorlam; mena E meribi detager, kega, Nalugelam uaba nole abi oituli?They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Ese meriba detager, kega, lelam; epe abele ged ge meribi bakeru ditimeda: abelelam ui ge dikiaporare Ioane perofeta.But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Epe uiaba detaut, kega, Keriba umer kak nagelam.So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Epe Iesu uiabi daratagerare, kega, Kaka umer kak uabi etomeret abele sirdam kaka ikeli gaire lu uridili.And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Ege E uiabi daratagerare abele mer babisdarie: Nerute le ikeli uina gedub, E uiabi nakuarare uader dorge ikeli abele gedub ge, a E bakeamu muriz gedim gaire gerger barkare.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.

10Ege nurge baruk, E uiabim, gedub le, emariklu nerute memeg le, abele uina turum ko tais: ege uader le, emeri abele gedub ge, uiaba abi damarik, abele le no akomelu nolea turum asis kak.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.

11A E ko emariklu nerute memeg le: a uiaba abi ko damarik, a abi dituaki, E ko akomelu nole turum asis kak.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Ege E ko namarkare neisi netate le: a uiaba abi naresedare maike uaeeumidare, a ui ge abi adem bakeuidare.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13Ege abele gedub kem le lut dikiapore, kega, Nalu ka akailu? kaka namariklu kabara nasnas uerem: nako, uiaba abi erdali, a abi omare.‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14A gedub le giz abi erdarare, ege uiaba mer batagerare, kega, Abkesem peike: mi abi apitare, iaueakai mi aisare abara ged.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.’

15A uiaba adem emarikare sorem abele gedublam, a ui abi ipitare eumilu. Nalu lu gedub kem le lut uiabim ikeli abkoreb?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16E tabakeamulu, a gedub asesered le narsare, E ko nakuarare uina gedub uiabim uader le. A ui ge asorare, a uiaba detaut, kega, Nolea.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!”

17E uiabi dasmer a detager, kega, Nalu mer emetu detali, Abele baker tonar tonar le lut adem batauered, a mena ais meta kop tum ge?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’?

18Ese le ekesmeri abele baker ge tumem, a lid erapei; a ese baker etugered abi tumge, no obamuare.Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Ege zogozogo le giz, pako aotale giz, uiaba lagelag abi erpei abele haua ge; a uiaba au geum abele ged; abelelam uiaba umele, abele mer uiabim babisdarie.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.

20Ui ge deraimerare, a uader namarkare abi dasmerare, a uiaba bes oituli, iaueakai nagri mer, a uiaba ais ikuar opole ra tagem a sirdamem.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.

21A ui ge abi itimerare, kega, Ereuer le ae, keriba umele ma barkak detaut pako ereuer, ma nole omare nerute le, a dikaer nerute le, epe ma ereuerem ageakar Ade ra gab:“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.

22Nako, abkoreb keriba ko ikuar Kaisaraim zegu lu, a nolea?Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23A E umele uiaba dikiapore, ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Nalugelam uaba kari mirem?But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24Debele ua kari denari natomertare. Nete ra op abele, pako abele detarda? Ui detagerare, kega, Kaisara.“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Kaisara ra lu, Kaisaraim ikuar; Ade ra lu, Adim ikuar.So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Ui umer kak derpeirare abara mer le op ge abele ged ge: a ui abara mer damerare, a uiaba mer kak.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Uader Sadukaio giz, abim tabakeuare, a ui dikiaporare, kega, Nole le ko eded akaida eudelam; a uiaba abi itimerare, kega,Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28Ereuer le ae, Mose detali keribim, Ese nerute le la keimer eumida, abara kosker dikaerti, a nole uerem kak, abara keimer abele kosker egared, ko keimer kesem.“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.

29Sefen keimer giz: narbet kekiam ko ispida abara kosker, epe eumid, nole kesem kak;Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30A nerute keimer abele kosker egared, epe eumid, nolea kesem kak, mokakalam nerute keimer.Then the second

31A thri le ko ispid; mokakalam bakedida sefen le, uiaba eumida, nole kesem kak.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32A keubu, kosker eumida.And last of all, the woman died.

33Ese ko eded akaida tabarki, nete le uiabielam ais abele kosker? abelelam sefen le egared abele kosker.So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Iesu uiabim detaut, kega, Peirdi, abele eded, kimiar kosker ispid:Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35A uiaba nagri debele, abele ko eded akaid, a nagri niaiem kerker, uiaba nole ispid kosker, a nole ispid kimiar: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.

36A uiaba nolea ko eumid: epe uiaba mokakalam angela; a uiaba Ade ra omasker, a le giz ko eded akaida.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.

37Abele ko eded akaida eudelam, Mose de natomertare abele lu, nerute lu dardar, ko etomeret Iehoua Aberahama ra Ade, a Isaaka ra Ade, a Iakobo ra Ade.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.’

38E nole uiaba Ade, abele le eumida, epe le giz eded: abelelam le uridili eded abielam.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Ege uader aotale giz abi detager, kega, Ereuer le ae, mara mer au barkak.Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Keubu uiaba nolea ko saserim abi itimer nerute lu.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Ege E uiabi daratagerare, kega, Nako uader detaut, Keriso, Dauida ra uerem?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Ege Dauida de detaut, Salamo jauali, E detager, kega, Iehoua, kara Opole detager, kega, Ma emeri kara tuter tag pek,For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43Kaka ikeli uader mari derar, abele uteb ma teter emeri.until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44Abele lu Dauida de etomeret abara Opole, nako ikeli abara uerem?Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Ege E uiabim detager, tabara kaimeg giz, a gaire le uridili abele ged ge, uiaba asarare,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46Ege uaba mamoro dasmerare gaire le aotale giz, uiaba digemeli perper am uali, ege uiaba lagelag gaire le uiabi omare pur uteb ge, pako aule bao sunago ge, a aule lu eidi abele uteb ge leuer eroare;“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.

47Ege uader dedkoli mai kosker ra meta, a uiaba esorerapare au perper: E ispilu, a keubu uiaba au bodomalam.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
