Luke 20
1 One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.
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.
2 “Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”
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.
3 “I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:
Te dongah amih te a doo tih, “Nangmih te ol pakhat kan dawt saeh lamtah kai n'doo uh.
4 John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”
Johan kah baptisma tah vaan lamkah a, hlang lamkah a om?” a ti nah.
5 They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
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.
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
‘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.
7 So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
Te dongah, “Me lamkah nim, ka ming pawh,” a ti uh.
8 And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Kai loh mebang saithainah neh ka saii khaw nangmih taengah ka thui mahpawh,” a ti nah.
9 Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.
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.
10 At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.
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.
11 So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
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.
12 Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
A pathum nen khaw a rhaep tih a tueih dae te khaw hmalaem la a haek uh.
13 ‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’
Te dongah dum boei loh, ‘Balae ka saii eh? Ka capa thintlo he ka tueih eh, anih tah a yahnah uh khaming,’ a ti.”
14 But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
“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.
15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
Te dongah anih te a vai uh tih dum voelah a ngawn uh. Te vaengah dum boei loh amih te metlam a saii eh?
16 He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”
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.
17 But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
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.
18 Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
Tekah lungto aka tlak thil boeih te tah tlawt uh vetih, amah a tlak thil atah amah te tip ni,” a ti nah.
19 When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.
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.
20 So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.
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.
21 “Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
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.
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
Kaisar taengah mangmu paek he mamih ham thuem a, thuem pawt a?” a ti na uh.
23 But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,
Tedae amih kah rhaithinah te a hmat dongah amamih te,
24 “Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
“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.
25 So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
Te dongah Jesuh loh amih te, “Kaisar koe te Kaisar taengla, Pathen koe te Pathen taengla mael uh,” a ti nah.
26 And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
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.
27 Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
Thohkoepnah om pawh tila boe aka koek Sadducee hlangvang long khaw a paan uh tih a dawt uh.
28 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.
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.
29 Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless.
Te vaengah boeinaphung parhih lo uh tih, lamhma loh yuu a loh dae cakol la duek.
30 Then the second
Te phoeiah a pabae neh a pathum loh huta te a loh.
31 and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
Te vanbangla a parhih long khaw camoe om mueh la a caehtak tih duek bal.
32 And last of all, the woman died.
A hnukkhueng ah huta te khaw duek.
33 So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
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.
Te dongah amih te Jesuh loh, “Ta kumhal kah camoe rhoek loh yuloh rhaihlan neh om uh. (aiōn g165)
35 But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
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)
36 In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
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.
37 Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
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.
38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”
Tedae aka duek rhoek kah pawt tih aka hing rhoek kah Pathen ni, anih dongah ni boeih a hing uh,” a ti nah.
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”
Cadaek hlangvang rhoek loh a doo tih, “Saya, buelh na thui coeng,” a ti nah.
40 And they did not dare to question Him any further.
Amah te dawt ham ngaingaih uh voel pawh.
41 Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
Jesuh loh amih te, “Metlamlae Khrih te, ‘David capa ni,’ a ti uh?
42 For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
David amah loh Tingtoeng cabu dongah a thui tah, ‘Boeipa loh ka boeipa taengah,
43 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
“Na rhal te na kho ham khotloeng la ka khueh hlan atah kai kah bantang ah ngol dae,” a ti,’
44 Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
David loh anih te Boeipa la a khue atah metlamlae a capa la a om eh?” a ti nah.
45 In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,
Pilnam boeih kah a yaak ah a hnukbang rhoek te,
46 “Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.
“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.
47 They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
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.
