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, on one of those days, as He is teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came on [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 to You this authority?”
3 A kpa ye nibawu nda tre, “Imeme miyi tre yi bika kpayi ni mu.
And He answering said to them, “I will question you—I also—one thing, and tell Me:
4 Isukpa nima Yohana, ani yi nishu ko ni ndji?”
the immersion of John, was it 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 with themselves, saying, “If we may say, From Heaven, He will say, 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.”
And if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.”
7 A naki ba kpa nyime kina to wu ni wayi na.
And they answered that they did not know from where [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, “Neither do I say to 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 to the people this allegory: “A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to farmers, and went abroad 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 season he sent a servant to the farmers, that they may give to him from the fruit of the vineyard, but the farmers having beat him, sent [him] away empty.
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 added to send another servant, and they also having beaten and dishonored that one, sent [him] away empty;
12 A lla ton indji ri wutar ma, balaji ciwo ni wu, da tur du hi kpama.
and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they cast 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 will I do? I will send my son, the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will respect [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.
and having seen him, the farmers reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours;
15 Naki ba tru nu ni miyi irju da wu. Angye indji wu irju ani tie ni ba?
and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they 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 farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” And having heard, they said, “Let it not be!”
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, having looked on them, said, “What, then, is this that has been written: A stone that the builders rejected—this became head of a corner?
18 Indji wa rjoku ni tu tita ani tzi kpama ti ziza ziza, wu indji wa rjoku ani cowawu'u.
Everyone who has fallen on that stone will be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.”
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 in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that He spoke this allegory 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 having watched [Him], they sent forth ones lying in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of His word, to deliver Him up to the rule and to the 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 questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, we have known that You say and teach correctly, and do not receive a person, but in truth teach the way of God.
22 Ani kpi wu bima duki han ban ni Kaisar ko ana naki na?
Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?”
23 Yesu tokpi wa bason ba tie da kma ni da tre ni bawu,
And He, having perceived their craftiness, 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; of whom does it have an image and inscription?” And they answering said, “Of Caesar”:
25 A hla bawu ikpi wa, “Kpiwa wu Kaisar, non Kaisar, u kpiwa wu Irji a wu Irji.
and He said to them, “Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God”;
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 on His saying before the people, and having wondered at His answer, they were silent.
27 Wu Sadukiyawa bari baye niwu da tre niw biwa ba tre bahu wlunde ni vu wu kle,
And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a resurrection, having come near, questioned 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 to us if anyone’s brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless—that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his brother.
29 U akwai mri vayi Tangba-wu mumla garwa da gu ba vri,
There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,
30 du ni u ha naki.
and the second took the wife, and he died childless,
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—they left no children, and they died;
32 Naki, wu wa ngame ye que.
and 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.
in the resurrection, then, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her as wife.”
And Jesus answering said to them, “The sons 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 accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the resurrection that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they 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 neither are they able to die anymore—for they are like messengers—and they are sons of God, being 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.
And 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.
and He is not a God of dead men, but of 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 answering said, “Teacher, You said well”;
40 Bana kara mye kpi ngana.
and they no longer dared question Him anything.
41 Yesu tre nibawu, “Ba ti nihe ni tre Irji Vvren Dauda?”
And He said to them, “How do they say the Christ is [the] son of David,
42 Dauda me kima tre ni nvunvu Zabura, Irji tre ni Irji, kuson ni wo kori mu,
and David himself says in [the] Scroll of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit on My right hand,
43 Wa me dubi yo ni koshi meduba kma ti bubu son me.
Until I will make Your enemies Your footstool;
44 Dauda me ayo Kristi, Irji, ani tini he wani tie ni he da tre a vren Dauda?”
David, then, 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 all the people hearing, 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.
“Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are cherishing salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches at the banquets,
47 Da chakpo mba biwu balonmba ba que, da babi bre Irji gburko, naki indji biki ba kpa meme la tre ma.”
who devour the houses of the widows, and make long prayers for a pretense, these will receive more abundant judgment.”
