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 preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;
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 they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave 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 answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:
4 Johan kah baptisma tah vaan lamkah a, hlang lamkah a om?” a ti nah.
The baptism of John, was it 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 with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye 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 shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded 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 unto them, Neither tell I 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 unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another 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 at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and 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 he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 A pathum nen khaw a rhaep tih a tueih dae te khaw hmalaem la a haek uh.
And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.
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: it may be 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 husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir: 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 cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto 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 husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
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 looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made 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.
Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
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 scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake 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 forth spies, which feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the 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, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person [of any], but of a truth teachest 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 unto Caesar, or not?
23 Tedae amih kah rhaithinah te a hmat dongah amamih te,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,
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 penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? And 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 unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto 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 the saying before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Thohkoepnah om pawh tila boe aka koek Sadducee hlangvang long khaw a paan uh tih a dawt uh.
And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they which say that there is no resurrection; and they 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, Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man’s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 Te vaengah boeinaphung parhih lo uh tih, lamhma loh yuu a loh dae cakol la duek.
There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;
30 Te phoeiah a pabae neh a pathum loh huta te a loh.
and the second;
31 Te vanbangla a parhih long khaw camoe om mueh la a caehtak tih duek bal.
and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.
32 A hnukkhueng ah huta te khaw duek.
Afterward 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 whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.
34 Te dongah amih te Jesuh loh, “Ta kumhal kah camoe rhoek loh yuloh rhaihlan neh om uh. (aiōn g165)
And Jesus said unto 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 that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, 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 neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the 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 are raised, even Moses shewed, in [the place concerning] the Bush, when he calleth 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.
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
39 Cadaek hlangvang rhoek loh a doo tih, “Saya, buelh na thui coeng,” a ti nah.
And certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 Amah te dawt ham ngaingaih uh voel pawh.
For they durst not any more ask him any question.
41 Jesuh loh amih te, “Metlamlae Khrih te, ‘David capa ni,’ a ti uh?
And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David’s son?
42 David amah loh Tingtoeng cabu dongah a thui tah, ‘Boeipa loh ka boeipa taengah,
For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on 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 thine enemies the 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 calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 Pilnam boeih kah a yaak ah a hnukbang rhoek te,
And in the hearing of all the people he said unto 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, which desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;
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.
which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.
