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 the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;
2 Ha sịrị ya, “Gwa anyị, olee ikike i ji na-eme ihe ndị a niile? Onye nyekwara gị ikike a?”
and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 Ọ zara ha sị, “Aga m ajụkwa unu otu ajụjụ. Gwanụ m,
And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:
4 baptizim nke Jọn, o si nʼeluigwe ka o si nʼaka mmadụ?”
The baptism of John, was it 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 reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye 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 shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Ya mere, ha zara, “Anyị amaghị ebe o si bịa.”
And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was].
8 Jisọs sịrị ha, “Enwekwaghị m ike ịgwa unu ikike m ji na-eme ihe ndị a.”
And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I 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.
And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country 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.
And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen 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.
And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 O zigakwara onye nke atọ, ma ha merụrụ ya ahụ, chụlaa ya.
And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.
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 beloved son: it may be 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.’
But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, 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?
And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto 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 husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
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 upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made 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 that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
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 scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake 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 they watched him, and sent forth spies, which feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the 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.
And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person [of any], but of a truth teachest 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 give tribute unto 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 unto 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.”
Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar’s.
25 Ọ sịrị ha, “Ya mere, nyenụ Siza ihe bụ nke Siza, nyekwanụ Chineke ihe bụ nke Chineke.”
And he said unto them, Then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto 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.
And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Ụfọdụ ndị Sadusii, ndị sị na mbilite nʼọnwụ adịghị, bịakwutere ya
And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they which say that there is no resurrection; and they 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, Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man’s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 Ugbu a, e nwere ụmụnne nwoke asaa, onye nke mbụ lụrụ nwanyị, nwụọ na-amụtaghị nwa.
There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and 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 took her; and likewise the seven also 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?”
In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.
And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world 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 they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (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 neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are 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, even Moses shewed, in [the place concerning] the Bush, when he calleth 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.”
Now 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 answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 O nwekwaghị onye ọbụla jụrụ ya ajụjụ ọzọ.
For they durst not any more ask him any question.
41 Ma ọ sịrị ha, “Olee otu ha si kwuo na Kraịst ahụ bụ nwa Devid?
And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David’s son?
42 Devid nʼonwe ya kwupụtara nʼakwụkwọ Abụ Ọma, sị: “‘Onyenwe anyị gwara Onyenwe m, “Nọdụ ala nʼaka nri m
For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 ruo mgbe m ga-eme ndị iro gị ihe mgbakwasị ụkwụ nye ụkwụ gị.”’
Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
44 Devid nʼonwe ya kpọrọ ya ‘Onyenwe anyị.’ Oleekwanụ otu o si bụrụ nwa ya?”
David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 Mgbe ndị mmadụ na-ege ntị, ọ sịrị ndị na-eso ụzọ ya,
And in the hearing of all the people he said unto 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, which desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief 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.”
which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.
