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 telling the good tidings, that the High-priests and the Scribes, with the Elders, came upon him, —
2 Ba tre niwu, “Hla nitwu ni kpekpele nha wuse tindu ba, wu a nha mba ano kpekplemba.”
and spake, saying, unto him—Tell us, by what authority, these things, thou art doing, and, who, is it, that gave thee this authority.
3 A kpa ye nibawu nda tre, “Imeme miyi tre yi bika kpayi ni mu.
And answering, he said unto them—I too, will question, you, as to a matter, —and tell me!
4 Isukpa nima Yohana, ani yi nishu ko ni ndji?”
The immersion of John, Of heaven, was it, or of 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 deliberated together by themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore 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 say, Of men, the people, one and all, will stone us, for, persuaded, they are, 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.
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 do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
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, unto the people, to be speaking this parable: —A man, planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went 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, in due season, he sent unto the husbandmen, a servant, that, of the fruit of the vineyard, they might give him; but, the husbandmen, having beaten 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, further, sent another servant; but, they, beating, that one also, and dishonouring him, sent him away, empty.
12 A lla ton indji ri wutar ma, balaji ciwo ni wu, da tur du hi kpama.
And he, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust 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 lord of the vineyard said—What shall I do? I will send my son, the beloved, —It may be, that, him, they will respect.
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 he husbandmen, seeing him, began to deliberate one with another, saying—This, is, the heir: Let us slay him, that, ours, may be, the inheritance.
15 Naki ba tru nu ni miyi irju da wu. Angye indji wu irju ani tie ni ba?
And, thrusting him forth outside the vineyard, they slew him. What, then, 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 give the vineyard unto others. But, when they heard it, they said—Far be it!
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, looking at them, said—What, then, is this that is written, —A stone which the builders’ rejected, The same, hath become, 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 falleth on that stone, will be sorely bruised, but, on whomsoever it shall fall, it will utterly destroy him.
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 High-priests sought to thrust on him their hands, in that very hour; and feared the people; for they perceived that, against them, spake he 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.
And, watching narrowly, they sent forth suborned men, feigning themselves to be, righteous, that they might lay hold of a word of his, so as to deliver him up unto the rule and 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 know that, rightly, thou speakest and teachest, and respectest no person, but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach:
22 Ani kpi wu bima duki han ban ni Kaisar ko ana naki na?
Is it allowable for us to give, unto Caesar, tribute, or not?
23 Yesu tokpi wa bason ba tie da kma ni da tre ni bawu,
But, observing their villainy, he said unto them—
24 Tsro me dinari, a iwu nha ni inde ba nha ni kogon ma? Ba tre, “Kaisar.”
Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said—Of Caesar.
25 A hla bawu ikpi wa, “Kpiwa wu Kaisar, non Kaisar, u kpiwa wu Irji a wu Irji.
And, he, said unto them—Well then! render the things of Caesar, unto Caesar, and the things of God, unto God.
26 Bana iya davu ni lah tre na, amsar tre ba wanuba anoba mamaki, naki bana biyu nyu na.
And they could not lay hold of the saying, before the people; and, marvelling 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,
But there came near certain of the Sadducees, they who say, Resurrection, there is none! and 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 for us, If one’s brother die, having a wife, and, he, be, childless, that his brother shall take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 U akwai mri vayi Tangba-wu mumla garwa da gu ba vri,
Seven brethren, therefore, there were, —and, the first, taking a wife, 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, —yea, likewise, even the seven; They left no children, and died:
32 Naki, wu wa ngame ye que.
Later on, the woman also, died.
33 Ni vi wu kle, anha ni son zama ilon ma? Don indji ba gran wa tangba ba wu.
The woman, therefore, in the resurrection, Of which of them, doth she become wife? for, the seven, had her to wife.
And Jesus said unto 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, they who have been accounted worthy, that age, to obtain, and the resurrection that is from among 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 cannot, even die any more, —for, equal unto messengers, are they, and are, sons of God, Of the resurrection, being, sons.
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 do rise, even Moses, disclosed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord—The God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob:
38 Zizan ana Irji u kyu na, Ahi Irji u ivri, nitu wawu ndji bi he ni vre niwu.
Now, God, he is not, of the dead, but, of the living, —for, all, unto him, do live.
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! Well, hast thou spoken.
40 Bana kara mye kpi ngana.
For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.
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: Said the Lord, unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
43 Wa me dubi yo ni koshi meduba kma ti bubu son me.
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
44 Dauda me ayo Kristi, Irji, ani tini he wani tie ni he da tre a vren Dauda?”
David, therefore, calleth, him Lord: How, then, his son, is he?
45 U wa a kle wo ba ndji ba wawu A hla ni mri koh ma ndi,
And, all the people hearing, he said unto the 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.
Be taking heed of the Scribes—Who desire to walk about in long robes, and are fond of salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the chief meals, —
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 widows, and, for a show, are a long time at prayer. These, shall receive, a heavier sentence.
