Luke 20
1 On one of these days, when Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple Courts and telling the good news, the chief priests and the teachers of the Law, joined by the elders, confronted him,
Alu gulo Jisu Pwknvyarnvnaam lo nyi vdwa tamsarla okv Gamlv nga japji rilo, nyibu butvnv vdwv okv Pvbv tamsarnv vdwv, nyiga vdwa lvkobv, aatoku
2 and addressing him, said, “Tell us what authority you have to do these things. Who is it who has given you this authority?”
okv ninyia minto, “Ngonua mintamto, no ogubv svbv rimin dunv? Yvvla nam svbv rimin dubv jinv ngv?”
3 “I, too,” said Jesus in reply, “will ask you one question. Give me an answer to it.
Jisu bunua mirwksito, “Ngam nonua gaamgo tvu chomu labv. Ngam mintam labv,
4 It is about John’s baptism – was it of divine or of human origin?”
Jon gv baptisma jinamv Pwknvyarnv gvlo kvre vmalo nyi gvlo kvre?”
5 But they began arguing together, “If we say ‘divine,’ he will say ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
Bunu vdwv atu v larmi sirap nyato, “Ngonu ogu vla mindubv? Ngonu ‘Pwknvyarnv gvlokv’ vla minbolo, nw minrikuda, ‘V bolo nonu ogugbv Jonnyi mvngjwng mapvnv?’
6 But, if we say ‘human,’ the people will all stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
Vbvritola ngonu ‘Nyianyi gvlokv’ vla minbolo, so gv nyi nyipam vdwsi ngonua vlwng orgingre, ogulvgavbolo bunu Jonnyi nyijwk akobv pvbwng alvbv chinya dukunv.”
7 So they answered that they did not know its origin.
Vkvlvgabv bunu mirwkto, “Ngonu chima v ogulokv aapvnvdw.”
8 “Then I,” said Jesus, “refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.”
Okv Jisu bunua mintoku, “Ngo ka nonua minjimare ogubv ngo so vdw sum ridu nvdw.”
9 But Jesus began to tell the people this parable – “A man once planted a vineyard, and then let it out to tenants, and went abroad for a long while.
Vbvrikunamv Jisu so minchisinam sum bunua minjito: “Ho hoka nyi ako dooto hv anggor rongo mvto, um rijo naanv nyi vdwlo tinto, vbvrikunamv adubv relinnam lvgabv vnglintoku.
10 At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants, so that they could give him a share of the produce of the vineyard. The tenants, however, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
Vdwlo anggor naakumdwv aatokudw, nw nyira go rwktin vdwlo gvlo anggor ninyigv baak paase naarwk simu dubv vla vngmu toku. Vbvritola rwktin vdwv nyira anga dvngtola ogu goka jimabv vngkur motoku.
11 The owner afterward sent another servant; but the tenants beat and insulted this man too, and sent him away empty-handed.
Vkvlvgabv nw nyira gunvnyi vngmuto; vbvritola rwktin vdwv ninyi nyika dvngdvto, hinyinghiru dubv mvto, okv ogugoka jimabv vngkur motoku.
12 He sent a third; but they wounded this man also, and threw him outside.
Vbvrikunamv nw nyira aom nvnv nga vngmuto; rwktin vdwv ninyia ungnv gvdubv, mvdvto, okv ninyia agumlo dvato.
13 ‘What should I do?’ said the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my son, who is very dear to me. Perhaps they will respect him.’
Vbrikunamv anggor rongo atuv mintoku, ‘Ngo ogugo riku nvpvdw? Ngo ngoogv paknam kuunyilo nga vngmu reku; bunu ninyia jvjvbv mvngdv jiriku!’
14 But, on seeing him, the tenants consulted with one another. ‘Here is the heir!’ they said. ‘Let us kill him, and then the inheritance will become ours.’
Vbvritola vdwlo rwktin vdwv ninyia kaapa tokudw, bunugv aralo mimisinyato, ‘So si atu gv kuunyilo ngv. ‘Klai ninyia mvki laju, okv ninyigv yikungyira ngv ngonu gvbv rireku!’
15 So they threw him outside the vineyard and killed him. Now what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
Vkvlvgabv bunu ninyia anggor rongo agum dvlinto okv mvki toku. “Vbvrikunamv, rongo atuv rwktin vdwa ogubv rireku?” Jisu tvkato.
16 He will come and put those tenants to death, and will let the vineyard to others.” “Heaven forbid!” they exclaimed when they heard it.
“Nw aariku okv ho nyi vdwa mvki reku, okv anggor rongo nga kvvbi rwktin vdwlo laklwk reku.” Vdwlo nyi vdwv sum tvvtokudw bunu minto, “Vbvrirung mare!”
17 But Jesus looked at them and said, “What then is the meaning of this passage? – ‘The stone which the builders despised has now itself become the cornerstone.’
Jisu bunua kaagapto okv tvvkato, “Vbvrikunamv so darwknv kitap gv minam si ogu v? ‘Naam mvnv vdwgv toa kunam vlwng pwngv mvnwngnga dinchiyachok nvgobv rire.’
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be dashed to pieces, while anyone on whom it falls – it will scatter him as dust.”
Nyi mvnwngnga ho vlwng hoka hopv nvnga patungpayung mvre; okv ho vlwng angv nyi akonvgv aolo hoopv bolo, v ninyia amwkbv mvre.”
19 After this the teachers of the Law and the chief priest were eager to lay hands on Jesus then and there, but they were afraid of the people; for they saw that it was at them that he had aimed this parable.
Pvbv tamsarnv vdwv okv nyibu butvnv vdwv, hoka Jisunyi naatung dubv rikwto, ogulvgavbolo ninyigv minchisinam minam angv bunua minyingdu vla bunu chintoku; vbvritola bunu nyi vdwa busu nyato.
20 Having watched their opportunity, they afterward sent some spies, who pretended to be good men, to catch Jesus in the course of conversation, and so enable them to give him up to the Governor’s jurisdiction and authority.
Vkvlvgabv bunu alvnv dw kaakarto. Bunu nyi mego arwnglo gwngla jisito bunua alvnv nyi go vla kaakudubvrinv nyi vkv, okv bunu ho vdwa Jisu gvlo vngmuto tvu gvrila naatung dubv vla vkvlvga bunu ninyi Roman nyigam lo laklwk ladukubv.
21 These spies asked Jesus a question. They said, “Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you do not take any account of a person’s position, but teach the way of God honestly;
So gv arwng gwngyanv vdwv Jisunyi minto, “Tamsarnv, ngonu chindu no ogugo mindudw okv tamsar dudw v jvjv ngv. Ngonu chindu no nyi gv mvngnam lokv kaamadu, vbvritola nyi gv lvgabv Pwknvyarnv gv mvngnam jvjv nga tamsaryado.
22 are we right in paying tribute to the Emperor or not?”
Ngonua mintam labv, Roman Dvbvyachoknyi ngonugv lampu jinam si ngonugv Pvbv nga rinying dunvri, vmalo rikin madunvri?”
23 Seeing through their deceitfulness, Jesus said to them,
Vbvritola Jisu bunugv gwngnam a kaapa toku okv bunua minto,
24 “Show me a coin. Whose head and title are on it?”
“Ngam lokdwng go kaatam labv. So si yvvgv nyukmu vla aminv doodunv?” “Dvbvyachok gv,” bunu mirwksito.
25 “The Emperor’s,” they said; and Jesus replied, “Well then, pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.”
Vkvlvgabv Jisu minto, “Alvdo, vbvrikunamv, Dvbvyachok gvnga Dvbvyachoknyi jitoka, okv Pwknvyarnv gvnga Pwknvyarnvnyi jilaka.”
26 They could not object to this answer before the people; and, in their wonder at his reply, they held their tongues.
Vkvlvgabv nyi vdwgv kaagia hoka ogu goka bunu ninyia naatung nyula mato, vkvlvgabv bunu ninyigv mirwk nama lamrwpanya la choibv doonya toku.
27 Presently there came up some Sadducees, who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this –
Vbvrikunamv Sadusis mego, yvvbunudw nyi vdwv sitokula turkur kumadunv vnv vdwv, Jisu gvlo aato okv minto,
28 “Teacher, Moses laid down for us in his writings that – ‘Should a man’s married brother die, and should he be childless, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.’
“Tamsarnv, Moses so Pvbv sum ngonugv lvgabv lvkpv jipvnv: ‘Nyi gonv nywng nga kuu dooma dwbv siyu bolo, ho siyu nvgv boruv hvngmi nga nywng mvrung tvka vkvlvgabv bunyiv kuu doogv rila sinv ho gv kuu bv mindu kubv.’
29 Well, there were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest, after taking a wife, died childless.
Alu golo achiboru kanw go dooto; achi yachok v nyimv naatoku okv kuu dooma dwbv siyuto.
30 The second and third brothers both took her as their wife;
Vbvrikunamv boruya gonv nyimv nvnga nywngbv doogvto,
31 and so, too, did all seven – dying without children.
okv boru aom nvnv ngvka. Vbvdvdvbv achiboru kanw mvnwnglo rito—bunu siyuto kuu dootv madvbv.
32 The woman herself was the last to die.
Mvnwng gv kochinglo, nyimv nvngv sitoku.
33 About the woman, then – at the resurrection, whose wife is she to be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”
Vjak, sinv ngv turkurdw alulo, nyimv nvngv yvvgv nywngbv rirekudw? Mvnwng kanw v ninyia nywng mvpv.”
Jisu bunua mirwkto, “Vjakgv nyiga mvvga ngv nywng nyilubv rimi sidu, (aiōn g165)
35 but, for those who are thought worthy to attain to that other world and the resurrection from the dead, there is no marrying or being married, (aiōn g165)
vbvritola nyiga okv mvvga ngv yvvdw sinam lokv turkur kuji bongv okv singnam gunv tolo doojinv v nywng nyilubv rimi sikumare. (aiōn g165)
36 nor indeed can they die again, for they are like angels and, having shared in the resurrection, they are God’s children.
Bunu nyidogindung vdw jvbv rire okv sinyu kumare, bunu Pwknvyarnv gv kuu vdwvku, ogulvgavbolo bunu sito koola turrap kunvngv.
37 As to the fact that the dead rise, even Moses indicated that, in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord – ‘The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
Sinam lokv turkurkunama Moses ka chimbwk toku. Lvklin jinamlo yamdwng yamchumlo vmv gunam gv lvkwng nga nw Atu gvbv minto ‘Abraham gv Pwknvyarnv ngv, Isaak gv Pwknvyarnv ngv, okv Jakob gv Pwknvyarnv ngv.’
38 Now he is not God of dead people, but of living. For in his sight all are alive.”
Nw turnv vdwgv Pwknvyarnv ngv, sinv gvngvma, ninyigv lvgabv mvnwngngv turdunv.”
39 “Well said, teacher!” exclaimed some of the teachers of the Law,
Pvbv tamsarnv megonv goklinto, “Alvbv mirwknam go, Tamsarnv!”
40 for they did not venture to question him any further.
Bunu ninyia ho lvkwngbv tvu dukubv choopu kuma toku.
41 But Jesus said to them, “How is it that people say that the Christ is to be David’s son?
Jisu bunua tvvkato, “Kristo Dabid gv husi v vla oguaingbv minpvnv?
42 For David, in the book of Psalms, says himself – ‘The Lord said to my lord: Sit at my right hand,
Dabid nw atuv mirimimpak kitaplo minsuto, ‘Ahtu ngoogv Ahtunyi minto: Ngoogv lakbiklo dootungto
43 until I put your enemies as a stool for your feet.’
vdwlo ngo noogv nyimak vdwa lvpa lvging nvnv aingbv mvla noogv lvchulo vvpvma dvdvlobv.’
44 David, then, calls him ‘lord,’ so how is he David’s son?”
Dabid ninyia ‘Ahtu’ vla minto; oguaingbv, vbvrikunamv, Kristo Dabid gv husi bv rila rinv?”
45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to the disciples,
Nyi vdwgv ninyia tvvla doorilo, Jisu ninyigv lvbwlaksu vdwa minto,
46 “Be on your guard against the teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and like to be greeted in the streets with respect, and to have the best seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at dinner.
“Pvbv tamsarnv vdwa nonu himasuto laka, bunu bunugv jvtvlaklwk a kotola daakar svnga mvngbiu dunv okv pyokpamdorpam lo vngkar gvrila mvngdv kodubv mvngbiu dunv; bunu jius kumkunaam vdwlo dooku a okv dvpam dvkulo alvyachoknv dooku a gakcho dunv;
47 These are the men who rob widows of their houses, and make a pretense of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier.”
Bunu hvngmi vdwlo riborilit mingla okv bunugv naam vdwa dvrit papi jila, okv kaakudubv vla asu dubv kumla! bunua achialvbv alvmanam gubv mvritre!”
