Luka 20
1 Nito naah, anih loe tempul thungah kaminawk to patuk, tamthanglok hoih taphong naah, kalen koek qaima, ca tarik kaminawk loe kacoehtanawk hoi nawnto anih khaeah angzoh o,
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 upon [him],
2 Anih khaeah naa ih sakthaihaih akaa hoiah maw hae hmuennawk hae na sak, to tih ai boeh loe hae sakthaihaih akaa hae mi mah maw ang paek? Na thui ah, tiah a naa o.
and spake unto him, saying, 'Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who is he that gave to thee this authority?'
3 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Lok maeto kang dueng o toeng han; na pathim oh:
And he answering said unto them, 'I will question you — I also — one thing, and tell me:
4 Johan ih tuinuemhaih loe van bang hoi ih maw, to tih ai boeh loe kaminawk khae hoi ih? tiah a naa.
the baptism of John, from heaven was it, or from men?'
5 To naah angmacae hoi angmacae to lok angdueng o, Van bang hoi ih, tiah a thuih o nahaeloe, tikhoe anih to na tang o ai loe? tiah na naa tih;
And they reasoned with themselves, saying — 'If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?
6 toe kaminawk khae hoi ih ni, tiah a thuih o nahaeloe, kaminawk boih mah Johan loe tahmaa maeto ah poek o pongah, thlung hoi na va o tih, tiah a thuih o.
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 To pongah nihcae mah, naa bang hoi ih maw, tito ka panoek o ai, tiah a naa o.
And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was],
8 Jesu mah nihcae khaeah, Kai doeh mi ih akaa hoiah maw hae hmuennawk hae ka sak, tito kang thui o toeng mak ai, tiah a naa.
and Jesus said to them, 'Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things.'
9 To pacoengah anih mah kaminawk khaeah hae patahhaih lok hae thuih pae; Kami maeto loe misur takha maeto tawnh, takha to toksah kami khaeah tlaisak pacoengah, prae kangthla ah kholong a caeh.
And he began to speak unto the people this simile: 'A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time,
10 Misurthaih pakhrik tue phak naah loe, misurthaih pakhrik hanah takha toep kaminawk khaeah a tamna maeto patoeh: toe takha thung toksah kaminawk mah anih to boh o moe, bangkrai ah patoeh o ving.
and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send [him] away empty.
11 To pongah anih mah kalah tamna to patoeh let: anih doeh boh o moe, pacaekthlaek o, azat thok ah bangkrai ah amlaem o sak.
'And he added to send another servant, and they that one also having beaten and dishonoured, did send away empty;
12 Anih mah thumto haih tamna to patoeh let: anih to doeh nganbawh kana paek o moe, tasa bangah vah o ving.
and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they did cast out.
13 To naah takha tawnkung loe, Kawbangmaw ka sak han? Palung ih ka capa to ka patoeh halat han boeh: nihcae mah anih to hnuk o naah saiqat o khoe doeh om tih, tiah a poek.
'And the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son — the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will do reverence;
14 Toe takha thungah toksah kaminawk mah qawktoep kami ah kaom anih to hnuk o naah, angzo oh, anih to hum si loe, qawk to aimacae hanah la o si, tiah maeto hoi maeto a thuih o.
and having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours;
15 To pongah anih to takha tasa bangah vah o moe, anih to a hum o. To tih nahaeloe takha tawnkung mah nihcae to kawbangmaw sah tih? tiah a naa.
and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed [him]; what, then, shall the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 Nihcae mah, Takha tawnkung to angzo tih, toksah kaminawk to hum ueloe, takha to kalah kaminawk khaeah paek tih, tiah a naa o. Kaminawk mah lok to thaih o naah, to tiah om hmah nasoe, tiah thuih o.
He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.' And having heard, they said, 'Let it not be!'
17 Anih mah nihcae to khet moe, Imsah kaminawk mah pahnawt o ih thlung loe, im takii ih kacak koek thlung ah oh boeh, tiah tarik ih lok loe tih thuih koehaih ih maw?
and he, having looked upon them, said, 'What, then, is this that hath been written: A stone that the builders rejected — this became head of a corner?
18 Mi kawbaktih doeh to thlung nuiah amtimh kami loe angkhaek tih; thlung mah taeh ih kaminawk doeh adip pueng tih, tiah a naa.
every one who hath fallen on that stone shall be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.'
19 Hae patahhaih lok loe nihcae thuih koehhaih ih ni, tito nihcae mah panoek o pongah, kalen koek qaima hoi ca tarik kaminawk loe anih naeh thaihaih loklam to pakrong o, toe to ah kaom kaminawk to zit o.
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 against them he spake this simile.
20 Anih mah thuih pazae ih lok to naeh moe, anih to prae ukkung khaeah paek hanah, anih to patoem o pongah, kami kahoih baktiah angsah tamquta hoi minawk khen kaminawk to anih khaeah patoeh o.
And, having watched [him], they sent forth liers 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 Anih patoem kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Patukkung, nang loe kamsoem lok ni na thuih, kamsoem hmuen to na patuk, kami mikhmai doeh na khen ai, Sithaw ih loklam ni loktangta ah na patuk, tito ka panoek o:
and they questioned him, saying, 'Teacher, we have known that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a person, but in truth the way of God dost teach;
22 Caesar khaeah tamut paek hae amsoem maw, amsoem ai? tiah a dueng o.
Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?'
23 Toe nihcae mah alinghaih to anih mah panoek pongah nihcae khaeah, Tikhoe nang tanoek o loe?
And he, having perceived their craftiness, said unto them, 'Why me do ye tempt?
24 Phoisa maeto na patuek o noek ah. Mi ih krang hoi ahmin maw tarik o? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Caesar ih, tiah pathim pae o.
shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and superscription?' and they answering said, 'Of Caesar:'
25 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Caesar ih hmuennawk to Caesar khaeah paek oh loe, Sithaw ih hmuennawk to Sithaw khaeah paek oh, tiah a naa.
and he said to them, 'Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'
26 Anih mah kaminawk hma ah thuih pazae ih lok to nihcae mah naeh o thai ai: nihcae mah dueng ih lok to anih mah pathim pae thaih pongah, dawnrai o moe, anghngai o duem.
and they were not able to take hold on his saying before the people, and having wondered at his answer, they were silent.
27 Angthawk lethaih tang ai thoemto Sadusinawk anih khaeah angzoh o moe, anih khaeah,
And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a rising again, having come near, questioned him,
28 Patukkung, Mosi mah kaicae khaeah, Kami maeto loe zu lak, toe caa sah ai ah dueh ving nahaeloe, amnawk mah anih ih zu to la ueloe, amya hanah caa sah pae tih, tiah tarik ih oh.
saying, 'Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one'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 Nawkamya sarihto kaom kami oh o: kacoeh koek loe zu lak, toe caa sah ai ah duek ving.
'There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,
30 Hnetto haih amnawk mah nongpata to zu ah lak, toe caa sah ai ah duek taak ving.
and the second took the wife, and he died childless,
31 Thumto haih amnawk mah nongpata to lak; to tiah nawkamya sarihto mah zu o haih, toe caa sah ai ah duek o taak boih.
and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven — they left not children, and they died;
32 Hnukkhuem ah loe to nongpata doeh duek toeng.
and last of all died also the woman:
33 To tih nahaeloe angthawk lethaih niah to nongpata loe mi ih zu ah maw om tih? Nawkamya sarihto mah to nongpata to zu ah lak o boih, tiah a dueng o.
in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she become wife? — for the seven had her as wife.'
And Jesus answering said to them, 'The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 toe to adung ah kathum han koiah poek ih kaminawk duekhaih thung hoiah angthawk o let naah loe, zu lakhaih hoi imthong krakhaih to om mak ai boeh: (aiōn g165)
but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
36 nihcae loe dueh o thai mak ai boeh: van kaminawk baktiah ni oh o boeh; angthawk lethaih caa ah oh o pongah, Sithaw caa ah ni oh o boeh.
for neither are they able to die any more — for they are like messengers — and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again.
37 Toe Mosi mah Angraeng loe Abraham ih Sithaw, Isak ih Sithaw, Jakob ih Sithaw ah oh, tiah kawk naah, hmai kangqong thing kabuk thung hoiah, kadueh kaminawk angthawk o boeh, tito a hnuksak.
'And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
38 Anih loe kadueh kaminawk ih Sithaw na ai ni, kahing kaminawk ih Sithaw ah ni oh: kaminawk loe anih ah hing o boih, tiah a naa.
and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.'
39 To naah thoemto ca tarik kaminawk mah, Patukkung, na thuih ih lok loe hoih, tiah a naa o.
And certain of the scribes answering said, 'Teacher, thou didst say well;'
40 To pacoengah loe nihcae mah anih khaeah lokdueng o ai boeh.
and no more durst they question him anything.
41 Anih mah nihcae khaeah, Kawbangmaw nihcae mah, Kri loe David ih capa ni, tiah thuih o?
And he said unto them, 'How do they say the Christ to be son of David,
42 David mah loe Saam Cabu thungah, Angraeng mah, ka Angraeng khaeah,
and David himself saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 na misanawk na khok koenghaih ah ka sah ai karoek to, ka bantang bangah anghnu ah, tiah thuih.
till I shall make thine enemies thy footstool;
44 David mah anih to Angraeng, tiah kawk, to tih nahaeloe kawbangmaw Anih loe David ih Capa ah om thai tih? tiah a naa.
David, then, doth call him lord, and how is he his son?'
45 Kami boih mah a lok tahngaih o nathuem ah, Jesu mah a hnukbang kaminawk khaeah,
And, all the people hearing, he said to his disciples,
46 ca tarik kaminawk khae hoi acoe oh, nihcae loe kahni sawk to angkhuk o moe, amkaeh han koeh o, hmuenmae zawhhaih ahmuen ah saiqat paekhaih to a koeh o, Sineko ah kasang koek anghnuthaih hoi buhcaakhaih ahmuen to a koeh o;
'Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are loving salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the suppers,
47 lamhmainawk ih im to muk pae o moe, minawk mikhnuk ah kasawk parai ah lawkthuih o: to baktih kaminawk loe kalen kue lokcaekhaih to hnu o tih.
who devour the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant judgment.'
