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 on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and announcing the glad tidings, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up,
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 thou doest these things, or who is it who has given thee this authority?
3 Te dongah amih te a doo tih, “Nangmih te ol pakhat kan dawt saeh lamtah kai n'doo uh.
And he answering said to them, I also will ask you [one] thing, and tell me:
4 Johan kah baptisma tah vaan lamkah a, hlang lamkah a om?” a ti nah.
The baptism of John, was it of heaven or of 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 should say, Of heaven, he will say, Why have ye not believed 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 should say, Of men, the whole people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Te dongah, “Me lamkah nim, ka ming pawh,” a ti uh.
And they answered, they did not know whence.
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, Neither 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 to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country 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 in the season he sent to the husbandmen a bondman, that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent [him] away empty.
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 again he sent another bondman; but they, having beaten him also, and cast insult upon him, sent [him] away empty.
12 A pathum nen khaw a rhaep tih a tueih dae te khaw hmalaem la a haek uh.
And again he sent a third; and they, having wounded him also, cast [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 lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see him they will respect [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 husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; [come, ] let us kill him, that the inheritance may become 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 having cast him forth out of the vineyard, they killed [him]. What therefore shall the lord 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 those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it they said, May it never be!
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.
But he looking at them said, What then is this that is written, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone?
18 Tekah lungto aka tlak thil boeih te tah tlawt uh vetih, amah a tlak thil atah amah te tip ni,” a ti nah.
Every one falling on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
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 the same hour to lay hands on him, and they feared the people; for they knew that he had spoken this parable of 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 having watched [him], they sent out suborned persons, pretending to be just men, that they might take hold of him in [his] language, so that they might 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 thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest no [man's] person, but teachest with truth the way of God:
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 Caesar, or not?
23 Tedae amih kah rhaithinah te a hmat dongah amamih te,
But perceiving their deceit he said to them, Why do ye 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.
Shew me a denarius. Whose image and superscription has it? And answering they said, Caesar's.
25 Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Kaisar koe te Kaisar taengla, Pathen koe te Pathen taengla mael uh,” a ti nah.
And he said to them, Pay therefore what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God.
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 him in [his] expressions before the people, and, wondering at his answer, they were silent.
27 Thohkoepnah om pawh tila boe aka koek Sadducee hlangvang long khaw a paan uh tih a dawt uh.
And some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, coming up [to 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.
demanded of him saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother, who has a wife, die, and he die childless, his brother shall take the wife and raise up seed to his brother.
29 Te vaengah boeinaphung parhih lo uh tih, lamhma loh yuu a loh dae cakol la duek.
There were then seven brethren: and the first, having taken a wife, died childless;
30 Te phoeiah a pabae neh a pathum loh huta te a loh.
and the second [took the woman, and he died childless];
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 left no children and died;
32 A hnukkhueng ah huta te khaw duek.
and 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.
In the resurrection therefore of which of them does she become wife, for the seven had her as wife?
34 Te dongah amih te Jesuh loh, “Ta kumhal kah camoe rhoek loh yuloh rhaihlan neh om uh. (aiōn g165)
And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world 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 they who are counted worthy to have part in that world, and the resurrection from among [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 neither can they die any more, for they are equal to angels, and are sons of God, being 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 rise, even Moses shewed in [the section of] the bush, when he called [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.
but he is not God of [the] dead but of [the] living; for all live for him.
39 Cadaek hlangvang rhoek loh a doo tih, “Saya, buelh na thui coeng,” a ti nah.
And some of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well spoken.
40 Amah te dawt ham ngaingaih uh voel pawh.
For they did not dare any more to ask him anything.
41 Jesuh loh amih te, “Metlamlae Khrih te, ‘David capa ni,’ a ti uh?
And he said to them, How do they say that the Christ is David's son,
42 David amah loh Tingtoeng cabu dongah a thui tah, ‘Boeipa loh ka boeipa taengah,
and 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,’
until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?
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, as 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 like to walk about in long robes, and who love salutations in the market-places, and first seats in the synagogues, and 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 devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.
