Luke 20
1 One day [during that week, Jesus] was teaching the people in the Temple [courtyard] and telling them [God’s] good message. As he was doing that, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and [other Jewish] elders came to him.
Eso afaega, Yesu da Debolo Diasu ganodini dunuma olelelaloba, amola Gode Sia: ida: iwane adolaloba, gobele salasu hina dunu, sia: dedesu dunu amola asigilai dunu Ema misini,
2 They asked him, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like you did here yesterday]?”
amane sia: i, “Ninima adoma! Dia hou da abuliba: le agoane hamonanebela: ? Nowa da Di ilegeiba: le, Di da agoane hamosala: ?”
3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,
Yesu E bu adole i, “Na amola da dilima afadafa adole ba: su gala. Nama dabe adole ima!
4 where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God [MTY/EUP] or from people?”
Yone Ba: bodaise e da hanoga fane salasu hamoma: ne nowa ilegebela: ? Gode da ilegebela: ? o osobo bagade dunu fawane adobela: ?”
5 They discussed this among themselves. They said, “[If we(inc) say], ‘[It was] from God [MTY/EUP],’ he will say to us, ‘[Then] (you should have believed John’s [message]!/why did you not believe what John preached?) [RHQ]’
Amalalu, ilia gilisili bu adole ima: ne sia: dasu agoane, “Ninia da Gode adoiba: le e hamosu amo sia: sea, E da agoane sia: mu, ‘Dilia abuliba: le Yone ea sia: dafawaneyale hame dawa: bela?’
6 But if we say, ‘It was [from] people,’ the people [here] will [kill us by] throwing stones at us, because they [all] believe that John was a prophet [from God].”
Be ninia da osobo bagade dunu adoiba: le Yone e ba: bodaise hamoi sia: sea, dunu huluane ilia da Yone da balofede dunudafa dawa: beba: le, ilia da nini igiga medole legemu.”
7 So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
Amaiba: le ilia da Yesuma bu adole i, “Yone Ba: bodaise hanoga fane salasu hamoma: ne ilegesu dunu ninia hame dawa:”
8 Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
Yesu da ilima amane sia: i, “Na amola nowa ea ilegebeba: le na gasa bagade hou hamosa, Na da dilima hame olelemu.”
9 Then Jesus told the people this parable [to illustrate what God would do to the Jews who rejected the former prophets and himself]: “A [certain] man planted a vineyard. He rented the vineyard to some men [to care for it and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went to another country and stayed there several years.
Amalalu, Yesu da dunu huluane ilima fedege sia: olelei, “Dunu afae da waini efe bugi hamoi dagoi. Amo waini sagai e da eno ouligisu dunuma ouligima: ne i. Amalalu, e da eno sogega asi. E da hedolo hame bu misunu dawa: i.
10 When [the vines started producing] grapes, he sent a servant to the men who were taking care of the vineyard. He expected that they would give him some of the grapes that the vineyard had produced. But [after the servant arrived], they beat him and they did not give him any grapes. They [just] sent him away.
Waini faimu eso doaga: loba, e da ea bidi lamusa: dawa: i galu. Amaiba: le, e da ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilia amo waini sagai ouligisu dunu ilima, ea bidi lama: ne asunasi. Be waini sagai ouligisu dunu, amo hawa: hamosu dunuma bidi mae iawane, ili fane sefasi.
11 [Later], [the owner] sent another servant. But they beat him and mistreated him [also]. They sent him away without giving him any grapes.
Amanoba, waini sagai eda da hawa: hamosu dunu eno asunasi. Be amo amola ilia wadela: le hamone, fane, bidi mae iawane sefasi.
12 [Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
E da eno hawa: hamosu dunu asunasi. Amo amola ilia fofa: ginisini, gadili ha: digi.
13 So the owner of the vineyard thought to himself, ‘(I do not know what to do!/What shall I do?) [RHQ]’ [Then he had an idea. He thought to himself], ‘I will send my son, [whom I] love [very much]. Perhaps they will respect him [and give him my share of the grapes].’
Amanoba, waini sagai hina da amane dawa: i, ‘Na da adi hamoma: bela: ? Amabela: ? Na da na dogolegei mano asunasimu. Ilia da e hahawane ba: mu.”
14 [So he sent his son], but when the men who were caring for the vineyard saw him [coming], they said to each other, ‘Here [comes] the man who will [some day] inherit [the vineyard]. Let’s kill him so that this vineyard will be ours!’
Be waini sagai ouligisu dunu, hina egefe manebe ba: beba: le, gilisili sia: dasu, ‘Amo da hina ea nana lamu dunu. Defea, amo ninia medole legele, fa: no ninisu da waini sagai lalegagamu!’
15 So they dragged him outside the vineyard and they killed him. So (I will tell you what the owner of the vineyard will do to them!/do you know what the owner of the vineyard will do to them?) [RHQ]
Amanoba, ilia da hina egefe gasawane gagulaligili, gadili ha: digili, medole legei. Waini sagai hina dunu da amo waini sagai ouligisu dunuma adi hamoma: bela: ?
16 He will come and kill those men who were taking care of the vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.” When the people listening to Jesus heard that, they said, “[We would] not do anything like those wicked men did!”
E da bu misini, waini sagai ouligisu dunu huluane medole lelegele, ea waini sagai eno ouligisu dunuma imunu.” Amo sia: nababeba: le, ilia amane sia: i, “Hame mabu!”
17 But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “You can say that, [but think about] the meaning of these words that are written {which [a prophet] wrote} [RHQ] [in the Scriptures], The men who were building a house rejected a certain stone. But others put that same stone in its proper place, and it has become the most important stone in the building [MET].
Be Yesu da ilima ba: lu, amane sia: i, “Amo hou doaga: mu dilia higabeba: le, Gode Sia: Dedei bai da adila: ? Sia: da agoane dedei diala, ‘Diasu gagusu dunu da golasu igi da hamedei dawa: beba: le, higa: i. Be wali amo igi da mimogodafa igi hamoi dagoi. Amo igi da: iya, diasudafa da gagui dagoi.’
18 [That stone represents me, the Messiah], and those who reject me are [like people who fall on this stone]. Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces {This stone will break to pieces everyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
Nowa da amo igi da: iya dafasea, ea da: i hodo da dadalega: le fofonobomu. Be nowama amo igi da fana dasea, ea da: i hodo da amo igiga gagoudai dagoi ba: mu.”
19 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws realized that he was accusing them when he told the parable [about what those wicked men did]. So they immediately tried to find a way to seize [MTY] him, but [they did not seize him, because] they were afraid of [what] the people [there would do if they did that].
Sema olelesu dunu amola gobele salasu dunu da amo fedege sia: da ilia wadela: i hou adoi, dawa: beba: le, ilia da Yesu afugili lamusa: dawa: i galu. Be ilia da dunudafa iliba: le beda: i. Amaiba: le, hame afugili lai.
20 So they watched him carefully. They also hired (spies/secret agents) who pretended to be sincere. [But] they really wanted to get him to say something for [which they could accuse] him. They wanted to be able to turn him over to the authority of the governor [of the province. But they also knew that the Jews were disgusted with having to pay taxes to the government].
Amaiba: le, Yesu dafama: ne logo ilia hogoi helei. Ilia da desega ahoasu dunu Yesuma asunasi. Amo ogogosu dunu da moloiwane dunu agoane hamone, Yesuma sani agoane adole ba: su. E da ilima giadofale bu adole iasea, ilia Yesu afugili, Louma Gamane ouligisu ema fofada: ma: ne imunusa: dawa: i galu.
21 [So] one of them asked Jesus, “Teacher, we [(exc)] know that you [(sg)] speak and teach what is right. You tell the truth even if important people do not like it. You teach truthfully what God wants us to do.
Ilia da Ema amane adole ba: i, “Olelesu! Di da Gode Ea dafawane hou olelesa ninia dawa: Di da osobo bagade dunu ea hou mae dawa: le, Gode Ea moloidafa hanai hou fawane olelesa.
22 [So tell us what you think about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
Ninia su muni (da: gisi) Louma hina bagade Sisa ema imunu da ninia sema wadela: sala: ?”
23 But Jesus knew that they were trying to trick him [to get him into trouble, either with the Jews, who hated to pay those taxes, or with the Roman government]. So he said to them,
Be ilia ogogosu hou dawa: beba: le, Yesu da ilima amane sia: i,
24 “Show me a [Roman] coin. [Then tell me] whose picture is on it. And [tell me whose] name is on it.” They [showed him a coin and] said, “It has the picture and name of Caesar, [the head of the Roman government].”
“Muni fage Nama olema! Amo fagega dedei diala. Nowa ea odagi amola nowa ea dio da amoga dedebela: ?” Ilia bu adole i, “Sisa!” (Sisa da Louma hina bagade galu.)
25 He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
Amalalu, E da ilima amane sia: i, “Amaiba: le, dilia Sisa ema hina: dabe ima. Amola dilia Godema Hina: dabe ima.”
26 While the people were there, the [spies] were unable to find fault with him for what he said. And they were amazed at his answer. So they said nothing.
Ogogosu dunu da dunu huluane ba: ma: ne, Yesu dafama: ne olelesu bagadewane hogoi helei, be hamedei. Ea adoiba: le, ilia fofogadigili ouiya: i.
27 Some Sadducees came to [Jesus]. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.
Amalalu, Sa: diusi dunu da Yesuma misi. Sa: diusi dunu ilia dafawaneyale dawa: su da bogoi dunu da bu hame wa: legadosa.
28 They [wanted to] ask [Jesus] a question [in order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again]. One of them said [to Jesus], “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] about situations where a man who has a wife but no children. If the man dies, his brother should marry the [dead man’s] widow so that she can have a child by him. People [will consider] that the child is the descendant of the man [who died], [and in that way the dead man will have descendants].
Ilia da Yesuma dafama: ne ado ba: musa: amane sia: i, “Olelesu! Mousese da ninima olelema: ne agoane dedei. Dunu da mano hame lalelegeiwane bogosea, ea eya da ea didalo lale, mano hamomu. Amo mano da musa: bogoi amo buga: i ilia da sia: sa.
29 Well, there were seven brothers in one family. The oldest one married, but he and his wife did not bear any children. Later he died.
Ninia fi ganodini, dunu afae ea mano da fesuale esalu. Magobo mano e da uda lale, mano hamedene bogoi.
30 The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
Amanoba ea eya da amo ea didalo lale, e amola mano hamedene bogoi.
31 Then the third [brother] married her, [but the same thing happened again]. All seven [brothers, one by one, married that woman], [but] they had no children, and [one by one] they died.
Fa: no eya eno da didalo lale, asili, mano fesuale gala huluane amo uda afadafa lale, mano hamedene bogoi.
32 Afterwards, the woman died, too.
Fa: no amo uda amola da bogoi dagoi.
33 Therefore, [if it is true that there will be a time] when dead people will become alive again, whose wife [do you think that woman] will be [then]? ([Keep in mind that she was married to all seven brothers!/It will be impossible to decide because] she was married to all seven brothers!) [RHQ]”
Amaiba: le, bogoi ilia bu uhini wa: legadobe esoha, amo uda, dunu fesuale agoanega lai dagoiba: le, e da nowa ea uda esaloma: bela: ?”
34 Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives [by their parents] {their [parents] choose wives [for them]}. (aiōn g165)
Yesu E bu adole i, “Waha esala dunu amola uda ilia da uda lasu hou dawa: (aiōn g165)
35 But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
Be nowa dunu amola uda ilia da bogole, bu wa: legadole, Eso Huluane Mae Bogole Fifi Ahoanusu lamusa: , Gode da defelewane ba: sea, amo dunu da uda hame lamu, amola amo uda da dunuma hame fimu. (aiōn g165)
36 [You need to know also that] they cannot die any more, because they will be [immortal] [SIM] like angels. [The fact that God has caused] them to be alive again [will show] that they are God’s children.
Ilia da a: igele agoane ba: mu, amola ilia bogomu hamedafa dawa: mu. Ilia bogole, bu wa: legadoiba: le, ilia da Gode Ea manowane esalumu.
37 But [as for people] becoming alive again after they die, Moses wrote something about that. In the place where [he wrote about] the [burning] bush, he mentions the Lord as being the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].
Be Mousese da musa: ifa amoga lalu gona: su heda: lebe ba: i, be ifa da nei hame ba: i. E amane sia: i, “Hina Gode! Di da A: ibalaha: me ea Gode, Aisage ea Gode, amola Ya: igobe ea Gode!’ Amo sia: dedeiba: le, Mousese da osobo bagade dunu da bogole bu wa: legadomu, amo hou noga: le olelei.
38 It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we(inc) know their spirits were still alive]! All [people] whose [spirits] are alive [again after they die continue to live to honor God]!”
Amaiba: le, Gode da amo dunu ilia Gode esalebeba: le, amo dunu da hame bogoi esala. Gode da bogoi dunu ilia Gode hame, be esala dunu ilia Gode. E da dunu huluanedafa bogoi hame be esalebe ba: sa.”
39 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”
Sema Olelesu dunu mogili ilia da amane sia: i, “Olelesu! Dia da noga: le sia: i.”
40 After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
Amanoba, ilia eno adole ba: mu beda: iba: le, ouiya: i.
41 Then Jesus said to them, “I will show you (OR, prove to you) that people [are wrong who] say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David! [RHQ]
Yesu da Sema olelesu dunu ilima amane adole ba: i, “Dunu ilia da abuliba: le Mesaia da Da: ibidi ea aowa fawane sia: sala: ?
42 Because David himself wrote [about the Messiah] in the book of Psalms, God said to my Lord, Sit [here beside me] on my right, [where I will highly honor you(sg)] [MTY].
Gesami Hea: su Buga ganodini dedei, Da: ibidi hisu agoane olelesa, ‘Hina Gode da na Hina Gode Ema amane sia: i, Na lobodafadili fima.
43 [Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies.
Di ouesala, Dia ha lai dunuma Dia emoga osa: le heda: musa: , Na da ili hasalimu.’
44 King David calls [the Messiah] ‘[my] Lord’! So ([the Messiah] cannot be [just someone] descended from [King] David!/how can the Messiah be [just] someone descended from [King] David?) [RHQ] [What I just said proves that he is much greater than David, isn’t that right]?”
Da: ibidi da Ema Hina Gode dio asuli dagoi. Amaiba: le Mesaia E da Da: ibidi egaga misi mano hame.”
45 While all the [other] people were listening, [Jesus] said to his disciples,
Dunu huluane Ea sia: nabalaloba, Yesu Ea ado ba: su dunuma amane sia: i,
46 “Beware that [you do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They like to put on long robes and walk around [to make people think that they are very important]. [They] also like [people to] greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces. They like [to sit in] the most important places in the Jewish meeting places. At dinner parties [they like to sit in] the seats where the most honored people sit.
“Sema olelesu dunu dawa: ma! Ilia abula sedade ida: iwane idiniginisili, bidiga lama: ne diasuga ahoa. Ilia da eno dunu ilima nodone sia: mu hanai gala. Ilia da sinagoge amola lolo Nasu amoga ahoasea, ilia da fisu baligili ida: iwane hogoi helesa.
47 They swindle [MET] the houses [and property] of widows. [Then] they pretend they are good, as they pray [long] prayers [publicly. God] will [certainly] punish them very severely.”
Ilia da didalo ilia labe amola diasu hedolo wamolasa. Amasea, dunu eno ilia siga ba: ma: ne, ilia ogogole sia: ne gadosu sedawane hiougisa. Amaiba: le, ilia se dabe iasu da eno dunu ilia se dabe iasu bagadewane baligimu.”
