Luke 20
1 And on one of those days as He was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes and elders came upon Him, saying,
Otu ụbọchị, ka ọ nọ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu na-ezi ndị mmadụ ihe na-ekwusakwa oziọma. Ndịisi nchụaja, na ndị ozizi iwu na ndị okenye bịakwutere ya.
2 Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who it is that gave thee this authority?
Ha sịrị ya, “Gwa anyị, olee ikike i ji na-eme ihe ndị a niile? Onye nyekwara gị ikike a?”
3 And He answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one question, tell me,
Ọ zara ha sị, “Aga m ajụkwa unu otu ajụjụ. Gwanụ m,
4 Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?
baptizim nke Jọn, o si nʼeluigwe ka o si nʼaka mmadụ?”
5 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
Ha kparịtara ụka nʼetiti onwe ha ma sị, “Ọ bụrụ na anyị asị na o sitere nʼeluigwe, ọ ga-asị, ‘Gịnị mere unu na-ejighị kwenye na ya?’
6 but if we say, Of men, the people will all stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
Ọ bụrụkwanụ na anyị asị na, ‘o sitere nʼaka mmadụ,’ ndị mmadụ ga-atụ anyị nkume, nʼihi na ha niile kweere na Jọn bụ onye amụma.”
7 And they answered, they did not know whence it was.
Ya mere, ha zara, “Anyị amaghị ebe o si bịa.”
8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Jisọs sịrị ha, “Enwekwaghị m ike ịgwa unu ikike m ji na-eme ihe ndị a.”
9 Then He began to speak unto the people this parable, A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen and travelled abroad for a considerable time,
Ọ gara nʼihu tụọrọ ndị mmadụ ilu a sị, “Otu nwoke nwere ubi vaịnị, nke o nyefere nʼaka ndị ga-elekọta ya anya ma pụọ gaa njem nʼala ọzọ ebe ọ nọrọ ogologo oge.
10 and at the fruit-season he sent a servant to the husbandmen that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard; but the husbandmen beat him and sent him away empty.
Mgbe oge iwe ihe ubi ruru, o zigara otu nʼime ndị ohu ya ka ọ bịakwute ndị ahụ na-elekọtara ya ubi, ka ha nyekwa ya ụfọdụ nʼime mkpụrụ ubi vaịnị ahụ. Ma ndị na-elekọtara ya ubi jidere ya, tie ya ihe, zilaga ya nʼaka efu.
11 And he sent another servant; and they beat him also and abused him, and sent him away empty.
O zigakwara ohu ya ọzọ. Ma ha tikwara ya ihe mee ya ihe ihere, zilakwaa ya nʼaka efu.
12 And he sent a third; and they wounded him also and drove him out.
O zigakwara onye nke atọ, ma ha merụrụ ya ahụ, chụlaa ya.
13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: perhaps when they see Him they will reverence Him.
“Mgbe ahụ, onyenwe ubi vaịnị ahụ sịrị, ‘Gịnị ka m ga-eme? Aga m ezigara ha ọkpara m, nke m hụrụ nʼanya, ma eleghị anya ha ga-asọpụrụ ya.’
14 But when the husbandmen saw Him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
“Ma mgbe ndị na-elekọta ubi ahụ hụrụ ya, ha kwurịtara nʼetiti onwe ha, sị, ‘Onye a bụ onye nketa ihe niile a, ka anyị gbuo ya, ka ihe nketa a bụrụzia nke anyị.’
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
Ya mere, ha kpụfere ya nʼazụ ubi vaịnị ahụ, gbuo ya. “Gịnị ka onye nwe ubi ahụ ga-eme ha?
16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this they said, God forbid.
Ọ ga-abịa, laa ndị ahụ na-elekọta ubi ahụ nʼiyi, were ubi vaịnị ahụ nye ndị ọzọ.” Mgbe ndị ahụ nụrụ nke a, ha sịrị, “Chineke ekwela.”
17 And He looked upon them and said, What then is this, which is written, The stone which the builders refused, is become the head of the corner?
O legidere ha anya sị, “Gịnịkwa ka unu chere na ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ pụtara, “‘Nkume ahụ ndị na-ewu ụlọ jụrụ aghọọla nkume nke isi ntọala ụlọ’?
18 Whosoever falleth on that stone shall be bruised; but on whomsoever it falleth, it will crush him to pieces.
Onye ọbụla nke dakwasịrị nʼelu nkume ahụ, ka a ga-etiwasị, ma onye ọbụla ọ dakwasịrị, ka ọ ga-egwepịa.”
19 And the chief priests and the scribes would have laid hands on Him at that very time, but were afraid of the people: for they perceived that He had spoken this parable against them.
Ndị ozizi iwu na ndịisi nchụaja chọrọ ụzọ ha ga-esi jide ya nʼotu oge ahụ nʼihi na ha matara na ọ bụ ha ka o bu nʼobi tụọ ilu ahụ, ma ha tụrụ egwu ndị mmadụ.
20 And they watched Him and sent out spies, pretending to be righteous men, to lay hold of his words, that they might deliver Him up to the power and authority of the governor.
Ya mere, ha chere ya nche nke ọma, ma zipụ ndị nnyopụta, ndị mere onwe ha dịka ndị ezi omume, ka ha chọpụta ma o nwere ụzọ ha ga-esi jide ya site nʼihe ọ ga-ekwu, ka ha site na nke a nyefee ya nʼaka ọchịchị na ike onyeisi ala.
21 And they asked Him, saying, Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person of any, but teachest the way of God in truth:
Ya mere ndị nnyopụta ahụ jụrụ ya sị, “Onye ozizi, anyị mara na i na-ekwu ma na-ezikwa ihe ziri ezi, matakwa na i dịghị ele mmadụ anya nʼihu, kama ị na-ezi ụzọ Chineke dị ka eziokwu si dị.
22 is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
O ziri ezi nʼiwu ka anyị tụọ ụtụ isi nye Siza, ka ọ bụ na o zighị ezi?”
23 But He perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why do ye tempt me?
Ma ọ matara na nke a bụ ajụjụ aghụghọ, ya mere ọ sịrị ha,
24 Shew me a penny: whose image and inscription hath it? and they answered, Cesar's.
“Gosinụ m otu mkpụrụ ego denarị. Isi onye ka e sere nʼelu ya, aha onye ka e dekwasịkwara ya?” Ha sịrị, “Ọ bụ nke Siza.”
25 Then said He unto them, Render therefore unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's, and to God the things that are God's.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ya mere, nyenụ Siza ihe bụ nke Siza, nyekwanụ Chineke ihe bụ nke Chineke.”
26 And they could not take hold of his word before the people: and they marvelled at his answer and said no more.
Ha enweghị ike ijide ya nʼihi ihe o kwuru nʼebe ahụ, nʼihu ọha mmadụ. Ọsịsa ya juru ha anya, ha mechikwara ọnụ.
27 And some of the Sadducees (who deny a resurrection) came to Him and asked Him,
Ụfọdụ ndị Sadusii, ndị sị na mbilite nʼọnwụ adịghị, bịakwutere ya
28 saying, Moses enjoined us, if any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die childless, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
ma jụọ ya sị, “Onye ozizi, Mosis deere anyị na ọ bụrụ na nwanne nwoke mmadụ anwụọ hapụ nwunye ya na-amụtaghị nwa, na nwoke dị otu a ga-alụrụ nwunye nwanne ya nwoke ahụ, sị otu a, mụtara nwanne ya ụmụ.
29 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless; and the second took the wife, and he died childless;
Ugbu a, e nwere ụmụnne nwoke asaa, onye nke mbụ lụrụ nwanyị, nwụọ na-amụtaghị nwa.
30 and the third took her;
Nke abụọ kwa
31 and in like manner all the seven.
na onye nke atọ lụrụkwara ya. Nʼotu aka ahụ ha asaa lụchara ya ma nwụọ na-amụtaghị nwa.
32 And they died and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
Nʼikpeazụ nwanyị ahụ nʼonwe ya nwụkwara.
33 Therefore at the resurrection whose wife is she? for all the seven had her to wife.
Ya mere, nʼoge mbilite nʼọnwụ nwunye onye ka ọ ga-abụ? Nʼihi na ha asaa lụchara ya?”
34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
Jisọs gwara ha, “Ndị nke ọgbọ a na-alụ nwunye, ma na-enyekwa ụmụ ha ka a lụrụ ha. (aiōn g165)
35 But they who are counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
Ma ndị ahụ a gụrụ dị ka ndị kwesiri isoro keta oke nʼọgbọ ahụ, nakwa na mbilite nʼọnwụ agaghị alụ di na nwunye. (aiōn g165)
36 for they can die no more, being like the angels: and they are the children of God as being the children of the resurrection.
Nʼezie, ha apụghịkwa ịnwụ ọzọ, nʼihi na ha dị ka ndị mmụọ ozi. Ha bụ ụmụ Chineke, nʼihi na ha bụ ụmụ nke mbilite nʼọnwụ.
37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush; for he calleth the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Ọ bụladị Mosis nʼonwe ya zipụtara na mbilite nʼọnwụ dị, nʼakụkọ banyere ọhịa ahụ na-ere ọkụ, mgbe ọ na-akpọ Onyenwe anyị ‘Chineke nke Ebraham, Chineke nke Aịzik na Chineke nke Jekọb.’
38 And He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to Him they are all living.
Ọ bụghị Chineke nke ndị nwụrụ anwụ, kama ọ bụ nke ndị dị ndụ, nʼihi nʼebe ọ nọ mmadụ niile dị ndụ.”
39 And some of the scribes replied, Master, thou hast indeed said right.
Ụfọdụ ndị ozizi iwu zara ya sị, “Onye ozizi, ị kwuru nke ọma.”
40 And they dared not any more to ask Him any such question.
O nwekwaghị onye ọbụla jụrụ ya ajụjụ ọzọ.
41 And He said unto them, How do they say, that Christ is the son of David?
Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Olee otu ha si kwuo na Kraịst ahụ bụ nwa Devid?
42 when David himself saith in the book of Psalms, "The Lord said unto my Lord,
Devid nʼonwe ya kwupụtara nʼakwụkwọ Abụ Ọma, sị: “‘Onyenwe anyị gwara Onyenwe m, “Nọdụ ala nʼaka nri m
43 Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool."
ruo mgbe m ga-eme ndị iro gị ihe mgbakwasị ụkwụ nye ụkwụ gị.”’
44 David therefore calleth Him Lord, and how is He then his son?
Devid nʼonwe ya kpọrọ ya ‘Onyenwe anyị.’ Oleekwanụ otu o si bụrụ nwa ya?”
45 And He said to his disciples, in the audience of all the people,
Mgbe ndị mmadụ na-ege ntị, ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya,
46 Beware of the scribes, who affect to walk in long robes, and love salutations in public places, and the chief seats in the Synagogues, and uppermost places at feasts;
“Kpacharanụ anya nʼebe ndị ozizi iwu nọ. Ndị iyi uwe mwụda na-ejegharị ebe niile na-amasị, ndị hụrụ ekele pụrụ iche bụ nke a na-ekele ha nʼọma ahịa nʼanya. Ndị ọ na-amasịkwa ịnọkwasị nʼoche kachasị elu nʼụlọ ekpere nakwa nʼoche pụrụ iche na mmemme oriri ọbụla.
47 who devour widows houses, and for a shew of religion make long prayers: these shall receive a heavier sentence.
Ha na-eripịa ihe niile dị nʼụlọ ndị inyom ndị di ha nwụrụ anwụ, nʼekpe ogologo ekpere ka a hụta ha. Ndị dị otu a ka a ga-ata ahụhụ dị ukwuu.”
