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.
Sa ure uwui wa eh, Yeso mazin nu bezizi anu tize ta Asere adange ubi ringara, anu adangdang nan nanu nyettike nan na nanu.
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]?”
Wa buu tize, wa gumme, “Bukan duru, nikara nu wuze uti mum tigeme ta surowe abani? nani aveni ma nyawe nige nikarame”.
3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,
Ma kabirkawe magu, “Me ma indi ikishi, bukanime.
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?”
Abanga ubaptisma u Yuhana, wa suri aseseri ani nan ahira anu ani?
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]’
Wa rusi inna ce awe, wagusi, “Inka taguna, wa suri asesere ani, madi gu, ani nyanini ya wuna daya hem in me ba?
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].”
Inka taguna ahira anu, anume vat wadi tizin duru in na poo, barki sa we wamu zika Yuhana una kadura ka Asere mani.
7 So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
Ba wakabirka wagu me we wada rusame a hirame sa ya surini ba.
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].”
Yeso magunwe, “Mima inda bukamshi a hirame sa ni kara nu wuza uti mum tigeme na suri mini ba”.
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.
Ma buki anume tire tize tukama, “Uye ma biri unuu, ma nya ana vara u intame, ma dusa amare manyanga maka dadankino.
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.
Uganiya u eze sa indi tumi una katuma kam a hira ana vara me, barti wa nyame imumme sa wa oro uruume, ana uruu waka tirame wa gidime in tari ti hura.
11 [Later], [the owner] sent another servant. But they beat him and mistreated him [also]. They sent him away without giving him any grapes.
Ma kuri ma tumi ure unu benki ume katuma, wa kuri wa tirime, wa wume ma cukuno imum imu i, wa gimdime in tari ti hura.
12 [Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
Ma kuri ma tumi unu taru wa kunnome iwono, wa vingi me a matara.
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].’
Anime unu uruu magu, 'Indi wu aneni? indi tumi vana uyoo um. Ba wuya wa kunna me',
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!’
Sa ana vara me wa irame, wa barka tize ache awe, wugu, 'Usanme mazikuno uru'.
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]
Wa vete mani anatara wa hume. Nyanini unu uruu madi ki gunan we?
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!”
Madi eh ma cari anu varsa uruu me, madi nya aye uruu me”. Uganiya me sa wa kunna anime, wa gu,”Kati Asere a hem!”.
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].
Anime, Yeso ma riki we aje, magu, “Nyanini ya ziginome sa a nyettike: 'Ni poo me sa anu bara uti denge wa nyarime nini nibura nu pingaru udenge'?
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.”
Debe sa ma rizo ani poo niginome madi pusa magitum magitum. debe sa na rizo ame, nidi nanzi,”
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].
Barki anime, anu nyettike me nan nanu a dandang me wa nyari wa tarime tari uganiya me, we wa rusi tize tukama sa ma bu barki wewani. Agi we wa kunna bi yau ba nume.
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].
Innu hira ume seeke wa tuburko anu ani hunzi sa wa wuzi kasi wazi lau bati wa kem ure u sizikime a tize tumeme, bati wa tuburko me a tari tanu yorso utize a dandang ugomna.
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.
Wa iki me, wagu, “Unu bezizi, tirusa uka ubuki ubazizi memerum, daki uya ma bari ma gamirka we ba, senke hu u bezizi umum ihuma una wa Aser.
22 [So tell us what you think about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
Ya wuna memerum ti bisi ugandu ahira a kaisar, nani babu?”
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,
Senke Yeso ma rusi ugamara uweme, ma gun we,
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].”
“Bezini mi ikirfi me, muhenu ma veni mura a ini?” wagu, “Mu kaisar muni”.
25 He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
Ma gun we, barki anime “Nyani kaisar umumbe sa izi ime, a i nyani Ugomo Asere igebe sa izi ume”.
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.
Wada wa kem ure usizikime inni mum sa ma buki we ba anyumo anu u ira ukabirka umeme wa wu tik.
27 Some Sadducees came to [Jesus]. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.
Sa are Asadsukiyawa wa eh me, ande sa wa gusa usuro icau uzoni,
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].
Wa ikime wagu, “Unu bezizi, Musa ma nyettiken duru agi inka uhenu unu ma wono, ama zin innu nee, sarki vana, mada ke ma ziki unee u henume in marizi ma yoo uhenu me vana.
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.
Azin are ahana usunare u tubame ma wuzi anya, ma wi sarki vana,
30 The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
Nannu nu kure me amme.
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.
Anu taru me ma ziki uneme, anime cangi unu sunare me madu ma wi sarki a hana.
32 Afterwards, the woman died, too.
A ciki ati yei me uneme ma wi cangi.
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]”
Rono usuro icau me madi cukuno une wa veni? inji ma wuzi anya nan we usunareme vat”.
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)
Yeso ma gun we, “Ahana une ugeme waka wa wuzi a nya ak nya aye a wuzi a nya nan we. (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)
Senke ande sa a hiri we kasi anu a lau ati wee tiginome wadi kabi u hira u mu cau barki sa wada ke wa wuza a nya ba na ni a nyawe inna nya. (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.
Wada ke wa kinki uwono ba, barki sa wazi rep nan cukuno a hana u suso amu cau.
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].
Barki mu kizi mu suru, musa ma bezi cangi, ahira a babga ani jaa, abinime ma titi Asere a Ibrahim nan na Asere a Ishaku nan na Asere a Yakubu.
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]!”
Ana daki me Asere a mukizi aniba ingi me Asere anu a huma ani, barki sa vat a ciki amemani”.
39 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”
Aye anu nyettike me wa kabirka, “Unu bezizi, wa kabirka memerum”
40 After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
Anime wada wa kuri wa iki me imum ba.
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]
Yeso ma gun we, “Aneni wa gusa agi kristi vana u Dauda mani?
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].
Senke Dauda me niche numeme magu anyumo ani tabi ni zabura, Asere magu a Asere am, 'cukuno a tari ti nare tum,
43 [Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies.
Mi indi wu we u patili anu a buri intibuna'.
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]?”
Dawuda sa mytiti kristi “Asere adi wu areni ma cukuno vana u Dawuda?
45 While all the [other] people were listening, [Jesus] said to his disciples,
A anu in nu kunna vat magu in almariyai ameme,
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.
Hirani anu nyettike merum, we wa ka wa nyari wa haki aseseri ati tizimti jojoko, wa hem inni isi a nyumo ati kasuwa, nan na hira ati cukum ta nu adandang a ma sinagog, nan ahira agomo ugani usanna.
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.”
Wa ka wa zazani akoro ati kura tiweme, barki iwetere wa ka tunguno iringara jojoko. Anu kasi weme wadi kem uhuna udandang”.
