Luc 20
1 Un deiz ma kelenne Jezuz ar bobl en templ, ha ma prezege an Aviel, ar veleien vras, ar skribed, hag an henaourien, o vezañ deuet, a gomzas outañ,
One day [during that week, Jesus] was teaching the people in the Temple [courtyard] and telling them [God’s] good message. As he was doing that, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and [other Jewish] elders came to him.
2 hag a lavaras dezhañ: Lavar deomp dre beseurt galloud e rez an traoù-se, ha piv en deus roet dit ar galloud-se?
They asked him, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like you did here yesterday]?”
3 Eñ a respontas dezho: Me a c'houlenno ivez un dra ouzhoc'h; lavarit din,
He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,
4 badeziant Yann, ha dont a rae eus an neñv, pe eus an dud?
where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God [MTY/EUP] or from people?”
5 Hag int a soñje enno oc'h-unan, o lavarout: Mar lavaromp: Eus an neñv, e lavaro: Perak eta n'hoc'h eus ket kredet ennañ?
They discussed this among themselves. They said, “[If we(inc) say], ‘[It was] from God [MTY/EUP],’ he will say to us, ‘[Then] (you should have believed John’s [message]!/why did you not believe what John preached?) [RHQ]’
6 Ha mar lavaromp: Eus an dud, an holl bobl hor meinataio; rak krediñ a reont ez eo Yann ur profed.
But if we say, ‘It was [from] people,’ the people [here] will [kill us by] throwing stones at us, because they [all] believe that John was a prophet [from God].”
7 Dre-se e respontjont ne ouient ket a-belec'h e teue.
So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
8 Ha Jezuz a lavaras dezho: Ha me kennebeut, ne lavarin ket deoc'h dre beseurt galloud e ran an traoù-se.
Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
9 Neuze en em lakaas da lavarout d'ar bobl ar barabolenn-mañ: Un den a blantas ur winieg, he feurmas da winierien, hag ez eas evit pell amzer en ur vro all.
Then Jesus told the people this parable [to illustrate what God would do to the Jews who rejected the former prophets and himself]: “A [certain] man planted a vineyard. He rented the vineyard to some men [to care for it and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went to another country and stayed there several years.
10 Da amzer ar frouezh e kasas unan eus e servijerien etrezek ar winierien, evit ma rojent dezhañ frouezh eus ar winieg. Met ar winierien a gannas anezhañ hag e kasjont anezhañ kuit hep netra.
When [the vines started producing] grapes, he sent a servant to the men who were taking care of the vineyard. He expected that they would give him some of the grapes that the vineyard had produced. But [after the servant arrived], they beat him and they did not give him any grapes. They [just] sent him away.
11 Kas a reas dezho c'hoazh ur servijer all; met e kannjont anezhañ, e rejont dezhañ meur a zismegañs, hag e kasjont anezhañ kuit hep netra.
[Later], [the owner] sent another servant. But they beat him and mistreated him [also]. They sent him away without giving him any grapes.
12 Kas a reas c'hoazh un trede, met int a c'hloazas anezhañ ivez, hag e gasas kuit.
[Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
13 Mestr ar winieg a lavaras neuze: Petra a rin? Kas a rin va mab karet-mat; marteze, [pa en gwelint, ] e toujint anezhañ.
So the owner of the vineyard thought to himself, ‘(I do not know what to do!/What shall I do?) [RHQ]’ [Then he had an idea. He thought to himself], ‘I will send my son, [whom I] love [very much]. Perhaps they will respect him [and give him my share of the grapes].’
14 Met ar winierien, o vezañ e welet, a soñjas enno o-unan, o lavarout: Setu an heritour; [deuit, ] lazhomp-eñ, evit ma vo an heritaj deomp.
[So he sent his son], but when the men who were caring for the vineyard saw him [coming], they said to each other, ‘Here [comes] the man who will [some day] inherit [the vineyard]. Let’s kill him so that this vineyard will be ours!’
15 Hag o vezañ e daolet er-maez eus ar winieg, e lazhjont anezhañ. Petra eta a raio mestr ar winieg?
So they dragged him outside the vineyard and they killed him. So (I will tell you what the owner of the vineyard will do to them!/do you know what the owner of the vineyard will do to them?) [RHQ]
16 Dont a raio, hag e tistrujo ar winierien-se, hag e roio ar winieg da re all. O vezañ klevet kement-se, e lavarjont: Ra ne c'hoarvezo ket-se!
He will come and kill those men who were taking care of the vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.” When the people listening to Jesus heard that, they said, “[We would] not do anything like those wicked men did!”
17 Neuze, Jezuz, o sellout outo, a lavaras dezho: Petra eta eo ar pezh a zo skrivet evel-hen: Ar maen taolet kuit gant ar re a vañsone, a zo deuet da vezañ penn ar c'horn?
But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “You can say that, [but think about] the meaning of these words that are written {which [a prophet] wrote} [RHQ] [in the Scriptures], The men who were building a house rejected a certain stone. But others put that same stone in its proper place, and it has become the most important stone in the building [MET].
18 An hini a gouezho war ar maen-se a vo brevet, ha flastret e vo an hini ma kouezho warnañ.
[That stone represents me, the Messiah], and those who reject me are [like people who fall on this stone]. Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces {This stone will break to pieces everyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
19 Neuze ar veleien vras hag ar skribed a glaskas lakaat o daouarn warnañ d'an eur-se memes, rak anavezet o devoa mat penaos en devoa lavaret ar barabolenn-se a-enep dezho; met aon o devoa rak ar bobl.
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws realized that he was accusing them when he told the parable [about what those wicked men did]. So they immediately tried to find a way to seize [MTY] him, but [they did not seize him, because] they were afraid of [what] the people [there would do if they did that].
20 Setu perak, oc'h evezhiañ anezhañ, e kasjont dezhañ tud hag a rae an neuz da vezañ reizh, evit e dapout en e gomzoù, abalamour d'e lakaat e daouarn mestr ar vro hag e galloud ar gouarner.
So they watched him carefully. They also hired (spies/secret agents) who pretended to be sincere. [But] they really wanted to get him to say something for [which they could accuse] him. They wanted to be able to turn him over to the authority of the governor [of the province. But they also knew that the Jews were disgusted with having to pay taxes to the government].
21 An dud-mañ eta a c'houlennas digantañ: Mestr, gouzout a reomp e komzez hag e kelennez gant eeunder ha ne rez van a zen ebet, met e kelennez hent Doue hervez ar wirionez.
[So] one of them asked Jesus, “Teacher, we [(exc)] know that you [(sg)] speak and teach what is right. You tell the truth even if important people do not like it. You teach truthfully what God wants us to do.
22 Ha dleet eo paeañ ar gwir da Gezar, pe n'eo ket?
[So tell us what you think about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
23 Met eñ, oc'h anavezout o gwidre, a lavaras dezho: [Perak e temptit ac'hanon?]
But Jesus knew that they were trying to trick him [to get him into trouble, either with the Jews, who hated to pay those taxes, or with the Roman government]. So he said to them,
24 Diskouezit din un diner. Eus piv eo ar skeud hag ar skrid-mañ? Int a respontas: Eus Kezar.
“Show me a [Roman] coin. [Then tell me] whose picture is on it. And [tell me whose] name is on it.” They [showed him a coin and] said, “It has the picture and name of Caesar, [the head of the Roman government].”
25 Neuze eñ a lavaras dezho: Roit eta da Gezar ar pezh a zo da Gezar, ha da Zoue ar pezh a zo da Zoue.
He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
26 Ne c'helljont ket e dapout en e gomzoù dirak ar bobl; met, o vezañ souezhet gant e respont, e tavjont.
While the people were there, the [spies] were unable to find fault with him for what he said. And they were amazed at his answer. So they said nothing.
27 Neuze hiniennoù a-douez ar sadukeiz, ar re a lavar n'eus ket a adsavidigezh a varv, a dostaas, hag a reas outañ ar goulenn-mañ:
Some Sadducees came to [Jesus]. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.
28 Mestr, Moizez en deus gourc'hemennet deomp, ma teuje breur unan bennak da vervel ha da lezel e wreg hep bugale, e vreur a zimezo d'ar wreg, evit sevel lignez d'e vreur.
They [wanted to] ask [Jesus] a question [in order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again]. One of them said [to Jesus], “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] about situations where a man who has a wife but no children. If the man dies, his brother should marry the [dead man’s] widow so that she can have a child by him. People [will consider] that the child is the descendant of the man [who died], [and in that way the dead man will have descendants].
29 Bez' e oa eta seizh breur. An hini kentañ o vezañ kemeret ur wreg, a varvas hep lezel bugale.
Well, there were seven brothers in one family. The oldest one married, but he and his wife did not bear any children. Later he died.
30 An eil a zimezas d'e wreg, hag a varvas hep bugale.
The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
31 An trede he c'hemeras ivez, hag o seizh holl en hevelep doare, hag e varvjont hep lezel bugale.
Then the third [brother] married her, [but the same thing happened again]. All seven [brothers, one by one, married that woman], [but] they had no children, and [one by one] they died.
32 Ha goude holl ar wreg a varvas ivez.
Afterwards, the woman died, too.
33 A behini anezho e vo eta gwreg, en adsavidigezh a varv? Rak bet eo gwreg dezho o seizh.
Therefore, [if it is true that there will be a time] when dead people will become alive again, whose wife [do you think that woman] will be [then]? ([Keep in mind that she was married to all seven brothers!/It will be impossible to decide because] she was married to all seven brothers!) [RHQ]”
Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives [by their parents] {their [parents] choose wives [for them]}. (aiōn g165)
35 Met ar re a vo kavet din da gaout lod er c'hantved da zont en adsavidigezh a-douez ar re varv, ne zimezint ket ha ne roint ket da zimeziñ. (aiōn g165)
But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
36 Rak ne c'hellint ket kennebeut mervel, abalamour ma vint heñvel ouzh an aeled, ha ma vint bugale Doue, o vezañ bugale an adsavidigezh a varv.
[You need to know also that] they cannot die any more, because they will be [immortal] [SIM] like angels. [The fact that God has caused] them to be alive again [will show] that they are God’s children.
37 Met, penaos ar re varv a adsav da vev, kement-se eo a ziskouez Moizez pa c'halv er vodenn loskus an Aotrou, Doue Abraham, Doue Izaak ha Doue Jakob.
But [as for people] becoming alive again after they die, Moses wrote something about that. In the place where [he wrote about] the [burning] bush, he mentions the Lord as being the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].
38 Doue n'eo ket Doue ar re varv, met Doue ar re vev; rak an holl a vev evitañ.
It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we(inc) know their spirits were still alive]! All [people] whose [spirits] are alive [again after they die continue to live to honor God]!”
39 Hag hiniennoù eus ar skribed, o kemer ar gomz, a lavaras: Mestr, komzet mat ec'h eus.
Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”
40 Ha ne gredent ken goulenn netra outañ.
After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
41 Neuze e lavaras dezho: Perak e lavarer eo ar C'hrist Mab David?
Then Jesus said to them, “I will show you (OR, prove to you) that people [are wrong who] say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David! [RHQ]
42 David e-unan a lavar e levr ar Salmoù: An Aotrou en deus lavaret da'm Aotrou: Azez a-zehou din,
Because David himself wrote [about the Messiah] in the book of Psalms, God said to my Lord, Sit [here beside me] on my right, [where I will highly honor you(sg)] [MTY].
43 betek ma em bo graet eus da enebourien ur skabell dindan da dreid.
[Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies.
44 Mar galv eta David anezhañ Aotrou, penaos eo eñ e vab?
King David calls [the Messiah] ‘[my] Lord’! So ([the Messiah] cannot be [just someone] descended from [King] David!/how can the Messiah be [just] someone descended from [King] David?) [RHQ] [What I just said proves that he is much greater than David, isn’t that right]?”
45 Evel ma selaoue an holl bobl, e lavaras d'e ziskibien:
While all the [other] people were listening, [Jesus] said to his disciples,
46 Diwallit diouzh ar skribed a gar pourmen gant saeoù hir ha bezañ saludet er marc'hallac'hioù, hag a gar ar c'hadorioù kentañ er sinagogennoù, hag ar plasoù kentañ er festoù;
“Beware that [you do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They like to put on long robes and walk around [to make people think that they are very important]. [They] also like [people to] greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces. They like [to sit in] the most important places in the Jewish meeting places. At dinner parties [they like to sit in] the seats where the most honored people sit.
47 int a zismantr tiez an intañvezed, hag a ra evit ar gweled pedennoù hir; bez' o devo ur varnedigezh gwashoc'h.
They swindle [MET] the houses [and property] of widows. [Then] they pretend they are good, as they pray [long] prayers [publicly. God] will [certainly] punish them very severely.”
