Luk 20
1 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.
And it came to pass, on one of those days, He teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the priests, and scribes, along with the elders stood up against Him;
2 Ha sịrị ya, “Gwa anyị, olee ikike i ji na-eme ihe ndị a niile? Onye nyekwara gị ikike a?”
and they spoke to Him, saying, Tell us by what authority you are doing these things? Who is the one having given you this authority?
3 Ọ zara ha sị, “Aga m ajụkwa unu otu ajụjụ. Gwanụ m,
And responding He said to them, I will ask you one word; and you tell me:
4 baptizim nke Jọn, o si nʼeluigwe ka o si nʼaka mmadụ?”
Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men?
5 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?’
And they reason among themselves saying, If we may say it is from heaven; He will say, Why did you not believe on him?
6 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.”
And if we may say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Ya mere, ha zara, “Anyị amaghị ebe o si bịa.”
And they responded, We do not know whence it is.
8 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Enwekwaghị m ike ịgwa unu ikike m ji na-eme ihe ndị a.”
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
9 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.
And He began to speak to the people this parable, A man planted a vineyard and gave it out to husbandmen, and went away a long time.
10 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.
And in season he sent a servant to the husbandmen that they might give to him of the fruit of the vineyard, and the husbandmen beating him, sent him away empty.
11 O zigakwara ohu ya ọzọ. Ma ha tikwara ya ihe mee ya ihe ihere, zilakwaa ya nʼaka efu.
And he proceeded to send to them another servant, and they beating and dishonoring him sent him away empty.
12 O zigakwara onye nke atọ, ma ha merụrụ ya ahụ, chụlaa ya.
And he proceeded to send a third: and wounding him, they cast him out also.
13 “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.’
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my own beloved son: perchance seeing, they will reverence him.
14 “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.’
And the husbandmen, seeing him, reasoned among themselves saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, in order that the inheritance may be ours.
15 Ya mere, ha kpụfere ya nʼazụ ubi vaịnị ahụ, gbuo ya. “Gịnị ka onye nwe ubi ahụ ga-eme ha?
And casting him out from the vineyard they slew him; what then will the lord of the vineyard do?
16 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.”
He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And hearing, they said, Let it not be so.
17 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’?
And looking upon them, He said, What is that which has been written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same has come to be the head of the corner.
18 Onye ọbụla nke dakwasịrị nʼelu nkume ahụ, ka a ga-etiwasị, ma onye ọbụla ọ dakwasịrị, ka ọ ga-egwepịa.”
Every one having fallen on that stone will be dashed to pieces; and on whomsoever it may fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 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.
And the chief priests and scribes sought to lay hands on Him at this hour, and feared the people; for they knew that He spoke this parable against them.
20 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.
And laying in wait for Him, they sent sharpers, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might catch his word, in order to turn Him over to the government and authority of the proconsul.
21 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.
They asked Him saying, Teacher, we know that thou dost speak and teach correctly; and thou dost not receive the face; but thou dost teach the way of God in truth:
22 O ziri ezi nʼiwu ka anyị tụọ ụtụ isi nye Siza, ka ọ bụ na o zighị ezi?”
is it lawful for us give tribute to Caesar, or not?
23 Ma ọ matara na nke a bụ ajụjụ aghụghọ, ya mere ọ sịrị ha,
And He knowing their rascality, said to them, Why tempt ye me?
24 “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.”
Show me the denarion. Whose image and superscription has it? And they responding said, Caesar's.
25 Ọ sịrị ha, “Ya mere, nyenụ Siza ihe bụ nke Siza, nyekwanụ Chineke ihe bụ nke Chineke.”
And He said to them, Therefore render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things which are God's.
26 Ha enweghị ike ijide ya nʼihi ihe o kwuru nʼebe ahụ, nʼihu ọha mmadụ. Ọsịsa ya juru ha anya, ha mechikwara ọnụ.
And they were not able to criticise His word before the people: and being astonished at His answer, they were silent.
27 Ụfọdụ ndị Sadusii, ndị sị na mbilite nʼọnwụ adịghị, bịakwutere ya
And certain ones of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, coming forward asked Him,
28 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.
saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, That if the brother of any one may die having a wife, and the same may die childless, that his brother must take his wife and raise up seed to his brother.
29 Ugbu a, e nwere ụmụnne nwoke asaa, onye nke mbụ lụrụ nwanyị, nwụọ na-amụtaghị nwa.
Then there were seven brothers; and the first receiving a wife died childless.
30 Nke abụọ kwa
And the second
31 na onye nke atọ lụrụkwara ya. Nʼotu aka ahụ ha asaa lụchara ya ma nwụọ na-amụtaghị nwa.
and the third received her, and likewise also the seven; they left no children and died.
32 Nʼikpeazụ nwanyị ahụ nʼonwe ya nwụkwara.
Last of all the woman also died.
33 Ya mere, nʼoge mbilite nʼọnwụ nwunye onye ka ọ ga-abụ? Nʼihi na ha asaa lụchara ya?”
Therefore in the resurrection of which one of them is she the wife? for the seven had her a wife.
And responding Jesus said to them, The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 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)
but those counted worthy to attain that age and the resurrection, which is from the dead, (aiōn g165)
36 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.
neither marry nor are given in marriage; for they are not able yet to die; for they are like the angels, and sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 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.’
But that the dead are raised, Moses also mentioned at the Bush, when he says; The Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Ọ bụghị Chineke nke ndị nwụrụ anwụ, kama ọ bụ nke ndị dị ndụ, nʼihi nʼebe ọ nọ mmadụ niile dị ndụ.”
He is not the God of the dead but of the living; for all live unto Him.
39 Ụfọdụ ndị ozizi iwu zara ya sị, “Onye ozizi, ị kwuru nke ọma.”
And certain of the scribes responding said; Teacher, you spoke beautifully.
40 O nwekwaghị onye ọbụla jụrụ ya ajụjụ ọzọ.
And they no longer dared to ask Him anything.
41 Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Olee otu ha si kwuo na Kraịst ahụ bụ nwa Devid?
And He said to them; How do they say that the Christ is the son of David?
42 Devid nʼonwe ya kwupụtara nʼakwụkwọ Abụ Ọma, sị: “‘Onyenwe anyị gwara Onyenwe m, “Nọdụ ala nʼaka nri m
And David himself says in the Book of the Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 ruo mgbe m ga-eme ndị iro gị ihe mgbakwasị ụkwụ nye ụkwụ gị.”’
until I may make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
44 Devid nʼonwe ya kpọrọ ya ‘Onyenwe anyị.’ Oleekwanụ otu o si bụrụ nwa ya?”
Therefore David calls Him Lord, and how is He his son?
45 Mgbe ndị mmadụ na-ege ntị, ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya,
And all the people hearing, He said to His disciples,
46 “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.
Beware of the scribes, wishing to walk about in robes, and loving salutations in the forums, and the first seats in the synagogues, and the first couches at the suppers,
47 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.”
Who devour the houses of the widows, and pray long through pretext; they shall receive the greater judgment.
