Luka 20
1 Hnin at ah bawkim khuikah pilnam te a thuituen tih olthangthen a phong vaengah khosoihham rhoek, cadaek rhoek neh patong rhoek loh a pai thil uh.
And it came to pass, that, on one of those days, while he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came to him,
2 Te vaengah anih te a voek uh tih, “Mebang saithainah nen lae na saii he kaimih taengah thui lah? He saithainah he nang aka paek om nim?” a ti na uh.
and spoke to him, saying: Tell us by what authority you do these things? or, who is he that gave you this authority?
3 Te dongah amih te a doo tih, “Nangmih te ol pakhat kan dawt saeh lamtah kai n'doo uh.
And he answered and said to them: I also will ask you one thing, and do you answer me.
4 Johan kah baptisma tah vaan lamkah a, hlang lamkah a om?” a ti nah.
Was the immersion of John from heaven, or from men?
5 Amih long khaw amamih te poek uh tih, “Vaan lamkah n'ti uh koinih, ‘Balae tih anih te na tangnah uh pawh,’ a ti veh.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven, he will reply: Why, then, did you not believe him?
6 ‘Hlang lamkah loh,’ n'ti bal nim te pilnam pum loh mamih he n'dae veh,” a ti uh. Johan te tonghma aka om la ana pang uh.
But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they believe that John was a prophet.
7 Te dongah, “Me lamkah nim, ka ming pawh,” a ti uh.
And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
8 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai loh mebang saithainah neh ka saii khaw nangmih taengah ka thui mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And Jesus said to them: Nor do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 Te dongah pilnam taengah hekah nuettahnah he a tong tih, “Hlang pakhat loh dum a tue tih lotawn a phaam sak. Te phoeiah amah te kum a sen puet vik yiin.
And he began to speak this parable to the people: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to vine-dressers, and was absent from home for a long time.
10 A tue vaengah tah dum kah a thaih te amah taengah ham pae uh saeh tila sal pakhat te lotawn rhoek taengla a tueih. Tedae lotawn rhoek loh anih te a boh uh tih a tling la a tueih uh.
And at the proper season, he sent a servant to those vine-dressers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vine-dressers scourged him, and sent him away empty-handed.
11 Te phoeiah sal a tloe a rhaep la a tueih bal. Tedae anih a boh uh tih yah a bai phoeiah a tling la a tueih uh.
And he then sent another servant. But they scourged him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
12 A pathum nen khaw a rhaep tih a tueih dae te khaw hmalaem la a haek uh.
And he also sent a third; but they wounded him, and drove him out.
13 Te dongah dum boei loh, ‘Balae ka saii eh? Ka capa thintlo he ka tueih eh, anih tah a yahnah uh khaming,’ a ti.”
And the owner of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps, when they see him, they will reverence him.
14 “Tedae anih te lotawn rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah khat neh khat dawtlet uh thae tih, ‘Rhopangkung tah anih coeng ni, anih he ngawn uh sih, te vaengah rho te mamih ham om saeh,’ a ti uh.
But when the vine-dressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 Te dongah anih te a vai uh tih dum voelah a ngawn uh. Te vaengah dum boei loh amih te metlam a saii eh?
And they drove him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 Tedae amih lotawn rhoek te a paan vetih a poci sak ni, dum te khaw a tloe taengla a paek ni,” a ti nah. A yaak uh vaengah, “A coeng moenih,” a ti uh.
He will come and destroy these vine-dressers, and will give his vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said: Be it not so!
17 Tedae Jesuh loh amih te a sawt tih, “A daek tangtae he balae aka om bal pueng. Im aka sa rhoek loh a hnawt lungto te, imkil a soi la pawk ta.
And he looked on them and said: What, then, does this mean, which is written, The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner?
18 Tekah lungto aka tlak thil boeih te tah tlawt uh vetih, amah a tlak thil atah amah te tip ni,” a ti nah.
Whoever shall fall on this stone, shall be dashed to pieces; but on whomever it shall fall, it will make him as chaff for the wind.
19 Te dongah cadaek rhoek neh khosoihham rhoek long tah amah vaengah Jesuh te kut hlah thil ham a mae uh. He nuettahnah he amih a thui thil te a ming uh ngawn dae pilnam te khaw koek a rhih uh.
And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him, the same hour; (and yet they feared the people; ) for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.
20 Anih aka dawn rhoek te a huep la a tueih uh tih amamih te a dueng la om ham sa uh. Te vaengah a ol tuuk pah ham, Jesuh te boeilu neh khoboei kah saithainah dongah voeih hamla cai uh.
And they watched him, and sent spies, who feigned them selves to be just men, that they might take hold of his words, in order to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
21 Te dongah Jesuh te a dawt uh tih, “Saya, nang loh buelh buelh na thui tih na thuituen dongah maelhmai na dan pawt te ka ming uh. Tedae Pathen kah oltak longpuei ah ni na thuituen.
And they asked him, saying: Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and do not regard the person of any, but teach the way of God in truth.
22 Kaisar taengah mangmu paek he mamih ham thuem a, thuem pawt a?” a ti na uh.
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cæsar, or not?
23 Tedae amih kah rhaithinah te a hmat dongah amamih te,
But he perceived their cunning, and said to them: Why do you tempt me?
24 “Denari pakhat te kai n'tueng uh lah, u kah muei neh ming lae aka om,” a ti nah hatah, “Kaisar kah,” a ti uh.
Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? They answered and said: Cæsar’s.
25 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Kaisar koe te Kaisar taengla, Pathen koe te Pathen taengla mael uh,” a ti nah.
He said to them: Give, therefore, to Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.
26 Tedae pilnam hmaiah anih ol tuuk pah ham coeng uh voel pawh. A ollannah te khaw a ngaihmang uh tih a kam a khuem uh.
And they were not able to take hold of his words before the people. And they were astonished at his answer, and were silent.
27 Thohkoepnah om pawh tila boe aka koek Sadducee hlangvang long khaw a paan uh tih a dawt uh.
Then there came to him some of the Sadducees, (these deny that there is any resurrection, ) and asked him,
28 Te vaengah, “Saya, Moses loh kaimih ham a daek coeng, pakhat te a maya loh yuu a khueh tih a duek vaengah cakol la a om atah a yuu te a mana loh lo saeh lamtah a maya ham a tiingan thoh pah saeh,’ a ti.
saying: Teacher, Moses wrote for us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up children for his brother.
29 Te vaengah boeinaphung parhih lo uh tih, lamhma loh yuu a loh dae cakol la duek.
There were, therefore, seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died without children;
30 Te phoeiah a pabae neh a pathum loh huta te a loh.
and the second took his wife, and he died without children;
31 Te vanbangla a parhih long khaw camoe om mueh la a caehtak tih duek bal.
and the third took her; and in like manner also the seven; and they left no children, and died.
32 A hnukkhueng ah huta te khaw duek.
Last of all, the woman also died.
33 Thohkoepnah dongah huta te u kah yuu lam lae a om eh? Parhih loh anih te yuu la a khueh uh tih,” a ti na uh.
Therefore, in the resurrection, of which of them shall she be the wife? for the seven had her as a wife.
34 Te dongah amih te Jesuh loh, “Ta kumhal kah camoe rhoek loh yuloh rhaihlan neh om uh. (aiōn g165)
And Jesus answered and said to them: The children of this age marry, and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 Kumhal kah te dang ham neh duek lamkah loh thohkoepnah dongkah aka tiing rhoek long tah yuu a loh va a sak uh moenih. (aiōn g165)
But those who shall be accounted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 Vaan puencawn la a om uh dongah koep duek ham khaw om pawh. Pathen kah a ca la om uh tih thohkoepnah kah a ca la poeh uh bal.
For they can die no more; for they are like the angels, and are the sons of God, being the sons of the resurrection.
37 Tedae aka duek rhoek a thoh te Moses loh tangpuem taengah ana phoe pataeng coeng. Te vanbangla Boeipa te Abraham Pathen, Isaak Pathen neh Jakob Pathen ana ti coeng.
But: that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at The Bush, since he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Tedae aka duek rhoek kah pawt tih aka hing rhoek kah Pathen ni, anih dongah ni boeih a hing uh,” a ti nah.
He is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him.
39 Cadaek hlangvang rhoek loh a doo tih, “Saya, buelh na thui coeng,” a ti nah.
And certain of the scribes answered and said: Teacher, thou hast answered well.
40 Amah te dawt ham ngaingaih uh voel pawh.
And after this they durst not ask him any question at all.
41 Jesuh loh amih te, “Metlamlae Khrih te, ‘David capa ni,’ a ti uh?
But he said to them: How say they that the Christ is the son of David?
42 David amah loh Tingtoeng cabu dongah a thui tah, ‘Boeipa loh ka boeipa taengah,
Even David himself says, in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
43 “Na rhal te na kho ham khotloeng la ka khueh hlan atah kai kah bantang ah ngol dae,” a ti,’
till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
44 David loh anih te Boeipa la a khue atah metlamlae a capa la a om eh?” a ti nah.
David, therefore, calls him Lord; and how is he his son?
45 Pilnam boeih kah a yaak ah a hnukbang rhoek te,
And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples:
46 “Cadaek rhoek te ngaithuen uh, hnikul neh pongpa aka ngaih uh tih hnoyoih hmuen kah toidalnah, tunim ah ngolhmuen then, buhkung kah hmuensang a lungnah uh.
Beware of the scribes, who delight to walk in robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first places at suppers;
47 Amih loh nuhmai rhoek kah im te a yoop pa uh tih mueituengnah ham khing thangthui uh. He rhoek long ni laitloeknah muep a yook eh,” a ti nah.
who eat up the houses of widows, and, for a pretext, make long prayers. These shall receive the greater condemnation.
