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 the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;
2 Ba tre niwu, “Hla nitwu ni kpekpele nha wuse tindu ba, wu a nha mba ano kpekplemba.”
and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 A kpa ye nibawu nda tre, “Imeme miyi tre yi bika kpayi ni mu.
And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:
4 Isukpa nima Yohana, ani yi nishu ko ni ndji?”
The baptism 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 shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye 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 shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded 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 unto them, Neither tell I 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 unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into 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.
And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and 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 sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 A lla ton indji ri wutar ma, balaji ciwo ni wu, da tur du hi kpama.
And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.
13 Indji wu irju tre, me tie ni he? Metur vri mu wa me kpaye niwu, koba kpaye niwu, dano kpaye niwu.
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be 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 husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir: 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 cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto 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 husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
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?'
But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, 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 that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him 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.
And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake 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 forth spies, which feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as 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 asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person [of any], but of a truth teachest the way of God:
22 Ani kpi wu bima duki han ban ni Kaisar ko ana naki na?
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
23 Yesu tokpi wa bason ba tie da kma ni da tre ni bawu,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,
24 Tsro me dinari, a iwu nha ni inde ba nha ni kogon ma? Ba tre, “Kaisar.”
Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar’s.
25 A hla bawu ikpi wa, “Kpiwa wu Kaisar, non Kaisar, u kpiwa wu Irji a wu Irji.
And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto 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 the saying before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Wu Sadukiyawa bari baye niwu da tre niw biwa ba tre bahu wlunde ni vu wu kle,
And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they which say that there is no 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.
saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man’s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 U akwai mri vayi Tangba-wu mumla garwa da gu ba vri,
There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;
30 du ni u ha naki.
and the second;
31 Indji wu tra bawa naki da ye niwu Tankpan ba viri da que.
and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.
32 Naki, wu wa ngame ye que.
Afterward 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 therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.
And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world 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 they that are accounted worthy to attain to 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 neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and 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.
But that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed, in [the place concerning] the Bush, when he calleth 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.
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto 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, Master, thou hast well said.
40 Bana kara mye kpi ngana.
For they durst not any more ask him any question.
41 Yesu tre nibawu, “Ba ti nihe ni tre Irji Vvren Dauda?”
And he said unto them, How say they that the 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 saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Wa me dubi yo ni koshi meduba kma ti bubu son me.
Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
44 Dauda me ayo Kristi, Irji, ani tini he wani tie ni he da tre a vren Dauda?”
David therefore calleth 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 in the hearing of all the people he said unto 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, which desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;
47 Da chakpo mba biwu balonmba ba que, da babi bre Irji gburko, naki indji biki ba kpa meme la tre ma.”
which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.
