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.
One day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and preaching the gospel, the priests and the scribes came with the elders
2 Ba tre niwu, “Hla nitwu ni kpekpele nha wuse tindu ba, wu a nha mba ano kpekplemba.”
and said to him, “Tell us, by what authority are yoʋ doing these things, or who is it that gave yoʋ this authority?”
3 A kpa ye nibawu nda tre, “Imeme miyi tre yi bika kpayi ni mu.
He answered them, “I will also ask you one question. Tell me:
4 Isukpa nima Yohana, ani yi nishu ko ni ndji?”
Did John's authority to baptize come 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?
So they discussed it among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why 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 are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 A naki ba kpa nyime kina to wu ni wayi na.
So they answered that they did not know where it came from.
8 Yesu tre ni bawu, imeme mina hla ni yiwu na ko ni wani gbengblen a tie ndu biyi na.”
Then Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing 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: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it to farmers, and left the 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 servant to the farmers so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat that servant 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.
So he proceeded to send another servant, but they beat him also, 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.
Then he proceeded to send a third, but they wounded him as well 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.
So the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps when they see him they will have respect for 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 they saw him, the farmers discussed it among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.’
15 Naki ba tru nu ni miyi irju da wu. Angye indji wu irju ani tie ni ba?
So they threw 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 those farmers and give the vineyard to others.” When the people heard this, they said, “Certainly not!”
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 Jesus looked at them and said, “What then is the meaning of this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
18 Indji wa rjoku ni tu tita ani tzi kpama ti ziza ziza, wu indji wa rjoku ani cowawu'u.
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
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.
Then the chief priests and the scribes wanted to arrest him at that very hour, for they knew he had spoken this parable against them, but they were afraid.
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 sincere in order to catch him in something he said, so that they could deliver him up to the jurisdiction 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.
The spies asked him, “Teacher, we know that yoʋ speak and teach correctly, and that yoʋ do not show partiality 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 pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 Yesu tokpi wa bason ba tie da kma ni da tre ni bawu,
But perceiving their craftiness, Jesus said to them, “Why are you testing 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 inscription does it have?” They answered, “Caesar's.”
25 A hla bawu ikpi wa, “Kpiwa wu Kaisar, non Kaisar, u kpiwa wu Irji a wu Irji.
He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar'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.
So they were not able to catch him in what he said in the presence of the people. And being amazed at his answer, they fell silent.
27 Wu Sadukiyawa bari baye niwu da tre niw biwa ba tre bahu wlunde ni vu wu kle,
Now some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came up and asked Jesus,
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 for us: ‘If a man's brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, that man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’
29 U akwai mri vayi Tangba-wu mumla garwa da gu ba vri,
Now there were seven brothers. The first married a woman and died childless.
30 du ni u ha naki.
The second married the widow, and he also died childless.
31 Indji wu tra bawa naki da ye niwu Tankpan ba viri da que.
Likewise, the third also married her. In the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
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.
In the resurrection, therefore, which of them will she be the wife of? For the seven all had her as a wife.”
Jesus answered them, “The people 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 are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from 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.
Indeed they can no longer die, for they are like angels. They are sons of God, since they are 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 even Moses indicated that the dead are raised, when he said in the passage about the burning bush, ‘The Lord, the God of Abraham, 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 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 responded, “Teacher, yoʋ have spoken well.”
40 Bana kara mye kpi ngana.
And they no longer dared to ask him anything.
41 Yesu tre nibawu, “Ba ti nihe ni tre Irji Vvren Dauda?”
Then Jesus said to them, “How can it be said 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.
until I make yoʋr enemies a footstool for yoʋr feet.”’
44 Dauda me ayo Kristi, Irji, ani tini he wani tie ni he da tre a vren Dauda?”
David calls him ‘Lord,’ so how is he his son?”
45 U wa a kle wo ba ndji ba wawu A hla ni mri koh ma ndi,
As all the people were listening, Jesus 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. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
47 Da chakpo mba biwu balonmba ba que, da babi bre Irji gburko, naki indji biki ba kpa meme la tre ma.”
They devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive a more severe judgment.”
