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.
It happened on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, that the chief priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
2 Ha sịrị ya, “Gwa anyị, olee ikike i ji na-eme ihe ndị a niile? Onye nyekwara gị ikike a?”
They asked him, "Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?"
3 Ọ zara ha sị, “Aga m ajụkwa unu otu ajụjụ. Gwanụ m,
He answered them, "I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 baptizim nke Jọn, o si nʼeluigwe ka o si nʼaka mmadụ?”
the baptism of Yukhanan, was it from heaven, or from man?"
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?’
They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe 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.”
But if we say, 'From man,' all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that Yukhanan was a prophet."
7 Ya mere, ha zara, “Anyị amaghị ebe o si bịa.”
They answered that they did not know where it was from.
8 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Enwekwaghị m ike ịgwa unu ikike m ji na-eme ihe ndị a.”
Yeshua said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do 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.
He began to tell the people this parable. "A man planted a vineyard, and rented it out to some farmers, and went on a journey for 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.
At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him, and sent him away empty.
11 O zigakwara ohu ya ọzọ. Ma ha tikwara ya ihe mee ya ihe ihere, zilakwaa ya nʼaka efu.
He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 O zigakwara onye nke atọ, ma ha merụrụ ya ahụ, chụlaa ya.
He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him, and threw him out.
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.’
The lord of the vineyard said, 'What am I to do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that they will respect 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.’
"But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him, 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?
They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
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 these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others." When they heard it, they said, "May it never be."
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’?
But he looked at them, and said, "Then what is this that is written, 'The stone which the builders rejected, this one was made the cornerstone?'
18 Onye ọbụla nke dakwasịrị nʼelu nkume ahụ, ka a ga-etiwasị, ma onye ọbụla ọ dakwasịrị, ka ọ ga-egwepịa.”
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will crush him."
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.
The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken 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.
They watched him, and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
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, "Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and are not partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
22 O ziri ezi nʼiwu ka anyị tụọ ụtụ isi nye Siza, ka ọ bụ na o zighị ezi?”
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
23 Ma ọ matara na nke a bụ ajụjụ aghụghọ, ya mere ọ sịrị ha,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,
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 a denura. Whose image and inscription are on it?" They answered, "Caesar's."
25 Ọ sịrị ha, “Ya mere, nyenụ Siza ihe bụ nke Siza, nyekwanụ Chineke ihe bụ nke Chineke.”
He said to them, "Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that 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.
They weren't able to trap him in his words before the people. And amazed at his answer, they fell silent.
27 Ụfọdụ ndị Sadusii, ndị sị na mbilite nʼọnwụ adịghị, bịakwutere ya
Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
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.
They asked him, "Teacher, Mushe wrote to us that if a man's brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up children for his brother.
29 Ugbu a, e nwere ụmụnne nwoke asaa, onye nke mbụ lụrụ nwanyị, nwụọ na-amụtaghị nwa.
There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 Nke abụọ kwa
The second and
31 na onye nke atọ lụrụkwara ya. Nʼotu aka ahụ ha asaa lụchara ya ma nwụọ na-amụtaghị nwa.
the third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
32 Nʼikpeazụ nwanyị ahụ nʼonwe ya nwụkwara.
Afterward 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 whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife."
Yeshua said to them, "The people of this age marry and are given to someone to marry. (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 who are regarded as worthy of a place in that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given to someone to marry. (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.
For they cannot die any more, for they are like the angels, and are children of God, being children 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, even Mushe showed at the bush, when he called the Lord 'The God of Avraham, the God of Iskhaq, and the God of Yaquv.'
38 Ọ bụghị Chineke nke ndị nwụrụ anwụ, kama ọ bụ nke ndị dị ndụ, nʼihi nʼebe ọ nọ mmadụ niile dị ndụ.”
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him."
39 Ụfọdụ ndị ozizi iwu zara ya sị, “Onye ozizi, ị kwuru nke ọma.”
Some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you speak well."
40 O nwekwaghị onye ọbụla jụrụ ya ajụjụ ọzọ.
They did not dare to ask him any more questions.
41 Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Olee otu ha si kwuo na Kraịst ahụ bụ nwa Devid?
He said to them, "Why do they say that the Meshikha is Dawid's son?
42 Devid nʼonwe ya kwupụtara nʼakwụkwọ Abụ Ọma, sị: “‘Onyenwe anyị gwara Onyenwe m, “Nọdụ ala nʼaka nri m
Dawid himself says in the scroll of Psalms, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,
43 ruo mgbe m ga-eme ndị iro gị ihe mgbakwasị ụkwụ nye ụkwụ gị.”’
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet."'
44 Devid nʼonwe ya kpọrọ ya ‘Onyenwe anyị.’ Oleekwanụ otu o si bụrụ nwa ya?”
"Dawid therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?"
45 Mgbe ndị mmadụ na-ege ntị, ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya,
In the hearing of all the people, 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, who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
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 widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these will receive greater condemnation."
