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,
Pea pehē, ko e [ʻaho ]ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻi heʻene akonaki ki he kakai ʻi he falelotu lahi, mo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei, naʻe haʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi pea mo e mātuʻa,
2 Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who it is that gave thee this authority?
Mo nau lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Talamai kiate kimautolu pe ko e pule fē ʻoku ke fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko hai ia ne ne tuku ʻae pule ni kiate koe?”
3 And He answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one question, tell me,
Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Te u fehuʻi foki kiate kimoutolu ha meʻa ʻe taha; pea tala mai kiate au:
4 Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?
Ko e papitaiso ʻa Sione, naʻe mei he langi ia, pe mei he tangata?”
5 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
Pea nau fealēleaʻaki, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he langi;’ te ne pehē mai, ‘Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate ia?’
6 but if we say, Of men, the people will all stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
Pea kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he tangata;’ ʻe lisingi ʻaki ʻae maka ʻakitautolu ʻe he kakai kotoa pē: he ʻoku nau ʻilo pau ko e palōfita ʻa Sione.”
7 And they answered, they did not know whence it was.
Pea naʻa nau pehēange, kuo ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe naʻe mei fē ia.
8 And Jesus said unto them, Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Pea ʻe ʻikai te u tala kiate kimoutolu pe ko e pule fē ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.”
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,
Pea naʻa ne kamata lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni ki he kakai; “Ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha naʻa ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he kau tauhi ngoue, pea fononga mamaʻo ia ʻo fuoloa ai.
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.
Pea hokosia ʻae toʻukai, pea ne fekau ʻae tamaioʻeiki ki he kau tauhi ngoue, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻomi kiate ia ha fua ʻoe ngoue vaine: ka naʻe teʻia ia ʻe he kau tauhi ngoue, ʻonau kapusi ia taʻehaʻanemeʻa.
11 And he sent another servant; and they beat him also and abused him, and sent him away empty.
Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻe taha: pea naʻa nau teʻia foki ia, pea lahi ʻenau fai kovi [kiate ia], mo nau kapusi taʻehaʻanemeʻa.
12 And he sent a third; and they wounded him also and drove him out.
Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻa hono toko tolu: pea naʻa nau teʻia foki ia, ʻonau lī [ia ]kituaʻā.
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.
Pea toki pehē ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine, ‘Ko e hā te u fai? Te u fekau atu hoku foha ʻofaʻanga: heiʻilo ka nau ka mamata ai te nau fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia.’
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.
Ka kuo mamata ki ai ʻae kau tauhi ngoue, pea nau fealēleaʻaki, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko eni ʻae foha hoko: haʻu ke tau tāmateʻi ia, kae ʻatautolu ʻae tofiʻa.’
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
Pea naʻa nau lī ia kituaʻā ngoue vaine, ʻo tāmateʻi [ia]. “Pea ko e hā ʻe fai ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine kiate kinautolu?
16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard this they said, God forbid.
ʻE haʻu ia ʻo fakaʻauha ʻae kau tauhi ngoue ko ia, pea tuku ʻae ngoue ki he kakai kehe.” Pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo [ai], naʻa nau pehē, “Ke ʻoua ʻaupito.”
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?
Pea vakai atu ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “Ka ko e hā eni kuo tohi, ‘Ko e maka naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kau tufunga, kuo hoko ia ko e fungani [maka ] tuliki?’
18 Whosoever falleth on that stone shall be bruised; but on whomsoever it falleth, it will crush him to pieces.
Ko ia ia ʻe tō ki he maka ko ia, ʻe mafesifesi ai ia; ka ko ia ʻe tō ki ai ia, ʻe momosi ia ʻo efu.”
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.
Pea naʻe holi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi ʻi he feituʻulaʻā pe ko ia ke nau puke ia; ka naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai: he naʻa nau ʻilo kuo ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni kiate kinautolu.
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.
Pea naʻa nau lamasi [ia], ʻonau fekau atu ʻae kau mataki ke nau fai fakafieangatonu, koeʻuhi ke nau femioekina ia ʻi heʻene lea, ka nau tukuange ai ia ki he mālohi mo e pule ʻae pule.
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:
Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoku ke lea mo ako totonu, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke fai filifilimānako, ka ʻoku ke akonaki ʻaki ʻae hala ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he moʻoni.
22 is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
ʻOku ngofua ke mau ʻatu ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, pe ʻikai?”
23 But He perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why do ye tempt me?
Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻenau kākā, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahiʻi ai au?”
24 Shew me a penny: whose image and inscription hath it? and they answered, Cesar's.
Fakahā mai ʻae tenali. “Ko e mata mo e tohi ʻa hai ʻoku ʻi ai?” Pea nau lea, ʻo pehēange, “ʻA Sisa.”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ʻatu kia Sisa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻa Sisa, pea ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua.”
26 And they could not take hold of his word before the people: and they marvelled at his answer and said no more.
Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa femioekina ia, ʻi heʻene ngaahi lea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai: pea naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene lea, mo nau fakalongo pe.
27 And some of the Sadducees (who deny a resurrection) came to Him and asked Him,
Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻae niʻihi ʻoe Satusi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu; ʻonau fehuʻi kiate ia,
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.
“ʻo pehē, ʻEiki, naʻe tohi ʻe Mōsese kiate kimautolu, “Kapau ʻe mate ʻae tokoua ʻo ha tangata, ka ʻoku ai hono uaifi, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau, ke maʻu ʻe hono tokoua ʻa hono uaifi, ʻo fakatupu ʻae hako ki hono tokoua.
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;
Pea naʻe ai ʻae kāinga ʻe toko fitu: pea maʻu ʻe he ʻuluaki ʻae uaifi, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau.
30 and the third took her;
Pea maʻu ia ʻe he toko ua ko hono uaifi, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau.
31 and in like manner all the seven.
Pea maʻu ia ʻe hono toko tolu; pea pehē pe ō aʻu ki hono toko fitu: ka naʻa nau mate taʻehaʻanaufānau.
32 And they died and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
Pea mate fakamui foki ʻae fefine.
33 Therefore at the resurrection whose wife is she? for all the seven had her to wife.
Ko ia ʻi he toetuʻu ko e uaifi ʻo hai ia ʻiate kinautolu? He naʻe maʻu ia ʻe he toko fitu ko honau uaifi.”
34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e fānau ʻa māmani ʻoku mali pea foaki ke mali: (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)
Ka ko kinautolu ʻe ʻaonga ke maʻu ʻae mama ko ia, mo e toetuʻu mei he mate, ʻe ʻikai te nau fakamaau pe foaki ke fakamaʻu: (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.
Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe mate: he ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kau ʻāngelo; mo e fānau ʻoe toetuʻu.
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.
Ka ko e fokotuʻu ʻoe mate, naʻe fakahā [ia ]ʻe Mōsese, mei he ʻuluʻakau, ʻi heʻene ui ʻae ʻEiki ‘ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake, mo e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.’
38 And He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for to Him they are all living.
He ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe mate, ka ko e moʻui: he ʻoku moʻui kotoa pē kiate ia.”
39 And some of the scribes replied, Master, thou hast indeed said right.
Pea leaange ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau tangata tohi, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, kuo ke lea totonu.”
40 And they dared not any more to ask Him any such question.
Pea hili ia naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai mo ha fehuʻi kiate ia.
41 And He said unto them, How do they say, that Christ is the son of David?
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fēfē ʻenau lau ko Kalaisi ko e foha ʻo Tevita?
42 when David himself saith in the book of Psalms, "The Lord said unto my Lord,
Kae pehē ʻe Tevita ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi Saame, ‘Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki, Nofo koe ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu,
43 Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool."
Kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe.”’
44 David therefore calleth Him Lord, and how is He then his son?
Ko ia naʻe ui ia ʻe Tevita ko e ‘ʻEiki,’ pea ko hono foha fēfē ia?”
45 And He said to his disciples, in the audience of all the people,
Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē,
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;
“Vakai ki he kau tangata tohi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau manako ke ʻalu mo e kofu fakatōtōlofa, mo nau leleiʻia ʻi he fetapa ʻi he ngaahi potu fakatau, mo e nofoʻanga māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi falelotu, mo e potu lelei ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga;
47 who devour widows houses, and for a shew of religion make long prayers: these shall receive a heavier sentence.
ʻOku nau faʻao ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, mo fai fakalōloa ʻae ngaahi lotu ʻi he kākā: ʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu ni ʻae malaʻia lahi.”
