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.
On one of the days while he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the gospel, there came up the priest and the Scribes with the elders.
2 Ba tre niwu, “Hla nitwu ni kpekpele nha wuse tindu ba, wu a nha mba ano kpekplemba.”
They spoke to him saying. "Tell us by what authority you are doing these things? Who is it that gave you this authority?"
3 A kpa ye nibawu nda tre, “Imeme miyi tre yi bika kpayi ni mu.
"I will also ask you a question," he replied.
4 Isukpa nima Yohana, ani yi nishu ko ni ndji?”
"Was John’s baptism from heaven or from man?"
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?
So they reasoned among themselves. "If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why did you not believe in 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 say, ‘From man,’ all the people will stone us, for they were persuaded that Johnwas a prophet."
7 A naki ba kpa nyime kina to wu ni wayi na.
So they answered that they did not know whence it was.
8 Yesu tre ni bawu, imeme mina hla ni yiwu na ko ni wani gbengblen a tie ndu biyi na.”
"Nor will I tell you," Jesus answered, "by whose 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
Then he began to tell the people this parable. "There was a man who planted a vineyard, and let it out to vine-dressers, and went to another country 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.
"At harvest-time he sent a slave to the vine-dressers, to ask them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dresser beat 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.
"Then he sent another slave; and him also they flogged and handled shamefully and sent him away empty-handed.
12 A lla ton indji ri wutar ma, balaji ciwo ni wu, da tur du hi kpama.
"Then he sent yet a third, and him to they wounded and threw him out.
13 Indji wu irju tre, me tie ni he? Metur vri mu wa me kpaye niwu, koba kpaye niwu, dano kpaye niwu.
"Then the master of the vineyard said. "‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved Son; it may be that 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 together, saying. ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours.’
15 Naki ba tru nu ni miyi irju da wu. Angye indji wu irju ani tie ni ba?
"So they turned him out of the vineyard and killed him. "What will the master 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 those vine-dressers, and will give the vineyard to others."
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?'
He looked at them and said. "Then what does this scripture mean. "The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made 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.
"Every one who falls on that stone will be broken in pieces; but whoever it falls upon will be scattered as dust."
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.
At this the Scribes and the high priests were seeking to arrest him; only they were afraid of the people. For they perceived that he had referred to them in this parable.
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.
So they watched him, and sent spies who pretended to be honest men, in order to seize on his speech, and to deliver him up to authority and jurisdiction 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.
So they put a question to him saying. "Rabbi, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not regard any man’s person, but teach the way of God honestly.
22 Ani kpi wu bima duki han ban ni Kaisar ko ana naki na?
"Is it lawful for us to pay tribute to Caesar or not?"
23 Yesu tokpi wa bason ba tie da kma ni da tre ni bawu,
But he perceived their knavery and answered.
24 Tsro me dinari, a iwu nha ni inde ba nha ni kogon ma? Ba tre, “Kaisar.”
"Show me a shilling. Whose image and superscription does it bear?" "Caesar’s," they replied.
25 A hla bawu ikpi wa, “Kpiwa wu Kaisar, non Kaisar, u kpiwa wu Irji a wu Irji.
"Then give to Caesar what belongs to him," he said, "to God give what is God’s."
26 Bana iya davu ni lah tre na, amsar tre ba wanuba anoba mamaki, naki bana biyu nyu na.
So they could not lay hold of his sayings before the people; and marveling at his answer, they held their peace.
27 Wu Sadukiyawa bari baye niwu da tre niw biwa ba tre bahu wlunde ni vu wu kle,
Next came some of the Sadducees who deny that there is resurrection, and they 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.
"Teacher, Moses wrote a law for us that if a man’s brother should die, but leave no children, his brother should take up his wife and raise up his children for his brother.
29 U akwai mri vayi Tangba-wu mumla garwa da gu ba vri,
"Now there were seven brothers. the first took a wife and died childless,
30 du ni u ha naki.
"and the second and third took her,
31 Indji wu tra bawa naki da ye niwu Tankpan ba viri da que.
"and likewise all the seven, but left no children when they died.
32 Naki, wu wa ngame ye que.
"Last of all the woman died too.
33 Ni vi wu kle, anha ni son zama ilon ma? Don indji ba gran wa tangba ba wu.
"In the resurrection whose wife shall she be? For they all seven had her as wife."
"People in this world marry and are given in marriage," said Jesus, (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 are counted worthy to reach that world 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 indeed they cannot die any more; they are equal to the angels, and through being sons of the resurrection are sons of God.
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 clearly implied in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord. "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.
38 Zizan ana Irji u kyu na, Ahi Irji u ivri, nitu wawu ndji bi he ni vre niwu.
"Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to him all are alive.’
39 Imbru malaman Attaura ba kpa nyime nda tre, “Ticha, wu riga ni kpa nyime bi ye.”
Then some of the Scribes said, "Teacher, that was nobly said,"
40 Bana kara mye kpi ngana.
for they no longer dared to ask him any questions.
41 Yesu tre nibawu, “Ba ti nihe ni tre Irji Vvren Dauda?”
"How is it," he asked them, "that they say that Christ is David’s son?
42 Dauda me kima tre ni nvunvu Zabura, Irji tre ni Irji, kuson ni wo kori mu,
"for David himself say’s in the book of the 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.
Until I make thy enemies the footstool at thy feet.
44 Dauda me ayo Kristi, Irji, ani tini he wani tie ni he da tre a vren Dauda?”
"David therefore himself calls him ‘Lord,’ and how can he be his son?"
45 U wa a kle wo ba ndji ba wawu A hla ni mri koh ma ndi,
Then, in the hearing of all the people, 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 like to walk about in long robes, and dote on salutations in the marketplaces, and on securing the front seats in the synagogues and the best places at banquets;
47 Da chakpo mba biwu balonmba ba que, da babi bre Irji gburko, naki indji biki ba kpa meme la tre ma.”
"but they devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. These shall receive severer condemnation."
