Luke 20
1 Baya viri wa Yesu ata bla tre ma ni Urushelima, indji biwa ba he nimiyi, wu Firistoci wu malamai Attaura wu shugabanni ba cimiye niwu.
And it came to pass, that, on one of those days, while he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came to him,
2 Ba tre niwu, “Hla nitwu ni kpekpele nha wuse tindu ba, wu a nha mba ano kpekplemba.”
and spoke to him, saying: Tell us by what authority you do these things? or, who is he that gave you this authority?
3 A kpa ye nibawu nda tre, “Imeme miyi tre yi bika kpayi ni mu.
And he answered and said to them: I also will ask you one thing, and do you answer me.
4 Isukpa nima Yohana, ani yi nishu ko ni ndji?”
Was the immersion of John from heaven, or from men?
5 Indji ba ba mla ya ni kpamba nda tre, “Kie ta tre Ani shu, ani tre, Naki ingye sa bina kpa ye niwu na?
And they reasoned among themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven, he will reply: Why, then, did you not believe him?
6 U kita tre anin ni ndi du indji ba ba ta tro wu ni tita don ba kpaye Yohana ana annabi.”
But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they believe that John was a prophet.
7 A naki ba kpa nyime kina to wu ni wayi na.
And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
8 Yesu tre ni bawu, imeme mina hla ni yiwu na ko ni wani gbengblen a tie ndu biyi na.”
And Jesus said to them: Nor do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 A tre ni bawu ni misali, “Indji ri a rhon ni irju ma da ba no baya da he ni gbu ri wubar ko
And he began to speak this parable to the people: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to vine-dressers, and was absent from home for a long time.
10 Intoyi wu ndi wu irju kmaye, daye ton indjiri ciki minikoma ni bi tindu ni Irji, du ba nonik'lo kunkro wa ahe ni irju. Ba tru du k'ma hi kpama dana no kpi na da zi da tru du hi kpama.
And at the proper season, he sent a servant to those vine-dressers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vine-dressers scourged him, and sent him away empty-handed.
11 A lla tru indji ri hi ni indji bi tie ndu ni Irji du ba ba no glo kukar kni niwu, bakalatsi na wu mumla, da na no kpi na.
And he then sent another servant. But they scourged him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
12 A lla ton indji ri wutar ma, balaji ciwo ni wu, da tur du hi kpama.
And he also sent a third; but they wounded him, and drove him out.
13 Indji wu irju tre, me tie ni he? Metur vri mu wa me kpaye niwu, koba kpaye niwu, dano kpaye niwu.
And the owner of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps, when they see him, they will reverence him.
14 Bi tie ndu ni irju bato da tre, ni kpamba, da tre, wayi yi a vri wu magijin ma, kpi wa ki ti kiwu, ni ki ni ban malaka ma du zama wu mbu.
But when the vine-dressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 Naki ba tru nu ni miyi irju da wu. Angye indji wu irju ani tie ni ba?
And they drove him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 Ani ye da wu ba wawu'u bi duba, da ban irju no barimu.” Da ba wo toki, ba tre, “Du na he naki na.”
He will come and destroy these vine-dressers, and will give his vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said: Be it not so!
17 Da Yesu yaba toki, da tre, “Wuyigye bi yi nufin bi wa ba nha-nha zi, 'Tita wa bi mme ba kamba niwu, wawuyi ni zama mafinficin tita?'
And he looked on them and said: What, then, does this mean, which is written, The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner?
18 Indji wa rjoku ni tu tita ani tzi kpama ti ziza ziza, wu indji wa rjoku ani cowawu'u.
Whoever shall fall on this stone, shall be dashed to pieces; but on whomever it shall fall, it will make him as chaff for the wind.
19 Naki wu malaman Attaura wu Firistoci ba wanko wa woh mba ni sa ni kpama ni tonki, da tre ni misalin yi ni tumba, ama dani klu sissri indji ba.
And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him, the same hour; (and yet they feared the people; ) for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.
20 Ba mla kiya gyegyer me, da ton bi sru klu bu'u, baya ni baba ba bi adalci niwwan kowa samu da vu nitre wa tre, niki ba son da tru ni doka ni tre gona.
And they watched him, and sent spies, who feigned them selves to be just men, that they might take hold of his words, in order to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
21 U ba miyi da tre Ticha, kito wu tre ni tzro wu bi ma, wunati kpi meme ma na wu tie kpi wu bio ma ninkon wu Irji.
And they asked him, saying: Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and do not regard the person of any, but teach the way of God in truth.
22 Ani kpi wu bima duki han ban ni Kaisar ko ana naki na?
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?
23 Yesu tokpi wa bason ba tie da kma ni da tre ni bawu,
But he perceived their cunning, and said to them: Why do you tempt me?
24 Tsro me dinari, a iwu nha ni inde ba nha ni kogon ma? Ba tre, “Kaisar.”
Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? They answered and said: Cæsar’s.
25 A hla bawu ikpi wa, “Kpiwa wu Kaisar, non Kaisar, u kpiwa wu Irji a wu Irji.
He said to them: Give, therefore, to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.
26 Bana iya davu ni lah tre na, amsar tre ba wanuba anoba mamaki, naki bana biyu nyu na.
And they were not able to take hold of his words before the people. And they were astonished at his answer, and were silent.
27 Wu Sadukiyawa bari baye niwu da tre niw biwa ba tre bahu wlunde ni vu wu kle,
Then there came to him some of the Sadducees, (these deny that there is any resurrection, ) and asked him,
28 Wu ba miyi da tre, “Ticha, Musa nha nitawu, da tre idan wa vayi ma agu da he ni wa, dana he ni vri na, indji ka bawa vayi ma, da te viri ni vayima.
saying: Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up children for his brother.
29 U akwai mri vayi Tangba-wu mumla garwa da gu ba vri,
There were, therefore, seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died without children;
30 du ni u ha naki.
and the second took his wife, and he died without children;
31 Indji wu tra bawa naki da ye niwu Tankpan ba viri da que.
and the third took her; and in like manner also the seven; and they left no children, and died.
32 Naki, wu wa ngame ye que.
Last of all, the woman also died.
33 Ni vi wu kle, anha ni son zama ilon ma? Don indji ba gran wa tangba ba wu.
Therefore, in the resurrection, of which of them shall she be the wife? for the seven had her as a wife.
And Jesus answered and said to them: The children of this age marry, and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 U biwa ba ya ani babayi bari ni son ninton biwa ba que ye bana gran koba sa ta gran na. (aiōn g165)
But those who shall be accounted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 Bana que ngana ba tsra baba Malaiku da zama mini Irji da mini bi sake wu u kle.
For they can die no more; for they are like the angels, and are the sons of God, being the sons of the resurrection.
37 Naki biwa ba que ye ba wlunde na Musa tsro ni bubu wa shafe miji, wa yo Irji ndi Bachi, Ibrahim ni Irji u Irji wu Ishaku wu Irji Yakubu.
But: that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at The Bush, since he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Zizan ana Irji u kyu na, Ahi Irji u ivri, nitu wawu ndji bi he ni vre niwu.
He is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.
39 Imbru malaman Attaura ba kpa nyime nda tre, “Ticha, wu riga ni kpa nyime bi ye.”
And certain of the scribes answered and said: Teacher, thou hast answered well.
40 Bana kara mye kpi ngana.
And after this they durst not ask him any question at all.
41 Yesu tre nibawu, “Ba ti nihe ni tre Irji Vvren Dauda?”
But he said to them: How say they that the Christ is the son of David?
42 Dauda me kima tre ni nvunvu Zabura, Irji tre ni Irji, kuson ni wo kori mu,
Even David himself says, in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
43 Wa me dubi yo ni koshi meduba kma ti bubu son me.
till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
44 Dauda me ayo Kristi, Irji, ani tini he wani tie ni he da tre a vren Dauda?”
David, therefore, calls him Lord; and how is he his son?
45 U wa a kle wo ba ndji ba wawu A hla ni mri koh ma ndi,
And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples:
46 “Mla zren ni malaman Attaura ba son zren ni glu bi gran ni kpamba, da son indji duba yaba, da no ba bubu son rigrama ni shishi ndji ni tre wu bra ni bubu son buki.
Beware of the scribes, who delight to walk in robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at suppers;
47 Da chakpo mba biwu balonmba ba que, da babi bre Irji gburko, naki indji biki ba kpa meme la tre ma.”
who eat up the houses of widows, and, for a pretext, make long prayers. These shall receive the greater condemnation.
