Lucas 20
1 Immay iti maysa nga aldaw, kabayatan nga agisursuro ni Hesus kadagiti tattao nga adda iti templo ken ikaskasabana ti ebanghelio, immay kenkuana dagiti panguloen a papadi ken dagiti eskriba nga kaduada dagiti panglakayen.
One day [during that week, Jesus] was teaching the people in the Temple [courtyard] and telling them [God’s] good message. As he was doing that, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and [other Jewish] elders came to him.
2 Nagsaritada, a kunada kenkuana, “Ibagam kadakami no ania ti kalintegam a mangaramid kadagitoy a banbanag? Wenno siasino ti nangted iti daytoy a kalintegan kenka?”
They asked him, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like you did here yesterday]?”
3 Simmungbat isuna ket kinunana kadakuada, “Uray siak adda met saludsodko kadakayo. Ibagayo kaniak iti maipapan
He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,
4 iti panangbautisar ni Juan. Naggapu kadi sadi langit wenno naggapu iti tattao?”
where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God [MTY/EUP] or from people?”
5 Naginnadalda iti tunggal maysa, a kunada, “No ibagatayo nga, 'Naggapu sadi langit,' ibagana nga, 'Apay ngarud a dikayo namati kenkuana?'
They discussed this among themselves. They said, “[If we(inc) say], ‘[It was] from God [MTY/EUP],’ he will say to us, ‘[Then] (you should have believed John’s [message]!/why did you not believe what John preached?) [RHQ]’
6 Ngem no ibagatayo nga, 'Naggapu iti tao,' uborendatayo dagiti tattao, gapu ta naallukoyda a ni Juan ket maysa nga propeta.”
But if we say, ‘It was [from] people,’ the people [here] will [kill us by] throwing stones at us, because they [all] believe that John was a prophet [from God].”
7 Isu nga insungbatda a dida ammo ti naggapuanna.
So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
8 Kinuna ni Hesus kadakuada, “No kasta ngarud saanko met ibaga no naggapuan ti kalintegak nga mangaramid kadagitoy a banbanag.”
Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
9 Imbagana kadagiti tattao daytoy a pangngarig, “Adda maysa a tao a nagmula iti kaubasan, impaupana iti agu-ubas, ket napan iti sabali a pagillian iti nabayag a tiempo.
Then Jesus told the people this parable [to illustrate what God would do to the Jews who rejected the former prophets and himself]: “A [certain] man planted a vineyard. He rented the vineyard to some men [to care for it and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went to another country and stayed there several years.
10 Iti naituding nga tiempo ket nangibaon isuna iti adipen nga mapan idiay agu-ubas, nga masapul nga itedda kenkuana ti bunga iti kaubasan. Ngem kinabkabilda isuna, ken pinapanawda nga ima-ima.
When [the vines started producing] grapes, he sent a servant to the men who were taking care of the vineyard. He expected that they would give him some of the grapes that the vineyard had produced. But [after the servant arrived], they beat him and they did not give him any grapes. They [just] sent him away.
11 Nangibaon ngarud isuna iti sabali pay nga adipen ket kinabkabilda manen, imbabainda, ken pinapanawda isuna nga ma-ima.
[Later], [the owner] sent another servant. But they beat him and mistreated him [also]. They sent him away without giving him any grapes.
12 Nangibaon manen isuna iti maikatlo pay ngem sinugsugatanda laeng, sadanto impuruak isuna iti ruar.
[Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
13 Isu nga kinuna ti akinkukua iti kaubasan, 'Ania ti aramidek? Ibaonko laengen ti patpatgek nga anak. Nalabit a padayawanda isuna.'
So the owner of the vineyard thought to himself, ‘(I do not know what to do!/What shall I do?) [RHQ]’ [Then he had an idea. He thought to himself], ‘I will send my son, [whom I] love [very much]. Perhaps they will respect him [and give him my share of the grapes].’
14 Ngem idi nakita dagiti mangay-aywan ti ubas isuna, nagtutulagda a kunada, 'Daytoy ti agtawid. Papatayentayo isuna, tapno ti tawid ket matagikuatayo.'
[So he sent his son], but when the men who were caring for the vineyard saw him [coming], they said to each other, ‘Here [comes] the man who will [some day] inherit [the vineyard]. Let’s kill him so that this vineyard will be ours!’
15 Impuruakda isuna iti ruar ti kaubasan, ken pinapatayda isuna. Ania ngarud ti aramiden ti akinkukua ti kaubasan kadakuada?
So they dragged him outside the vineyard and they killed him. So (I will tell you what the owner of the vineyard will do to them!/do you know what the owner of the vineyard will do to them?) [RHQ]
16 Umay ket pirdienna dagitoy nga mangay-aywan iti ubas, ken ited ti kaubasan iti sabali.”Ket idi nangngegda dayta, kinunada.”Saan nga ipalubos ti Dios!”
He will come and kill those men who were taking care of the vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.” When the people listening to Jesus heard that, they said, “[We would] not do anything like those wicked men did!”
17 Ngem ni Hesus kinitana ida, a kinunana, “Ania ti kayat a sawen daytoy nasantoan nga surat? 'Ti bato nga imbelleng dagiti nagpatakder iti balay ket nagbalin a pasuli'?
But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “You can say that, [but think about] the meaning of these words that are written {which [a prophet] wrote} [RHQ] [in the Scriptures], The men who were building a house rejected a certain stone. But others put that same stone in its proper place, and it has become the most important stone in the building [MET].
18 Siasinoman a matinnag iti dayta a bato ket maburak, ngem siasinoman a pakaitupakanna, ket marumek.”
[That stone represents me, the Messiah], and those who reject me are [like people who fall on this stone]. Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces {This stone will break to pieces everyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
19 Isu nga dagiti eskriba ken dagiti panguloen a papadi ket nagsiim tapno tiliwenda isuna iti dayta nga oras, ta ammoda nga imbagana daytoy a pangngarig a maisupiat kadakuada. Ngem nagbutengda kadagiti tattao.
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws realized that he was accusing them when he told the parable [about what those wicked men did]. So they immediately tried to find a way to seize [MTY] him, but [they did not seize him, because] they were afraid of [what] the people [there would do if they did that].
20 Pinaliiwda isuna a naimbag, nangibaonda iti tattao nga agsiim nga nagpammarang a nalinteg, tapno makabirokda ti kammalina babaen iti panagsaona, nga panggapuanda kenkuana a mangiyawat iti pannangituray ken paglintegan iti gobernador.
So they watched him carefully. They also hired (spies/secret agents) who pretended to be sincere. [But] they really wanted to get him to say something for [which they could accuse] him. They wanted to be able to turn him over to the authority of the governor [of the province. But they also knew that the Jews were disgusted with having to pay taxes to the government].
21 Nagdamagda kenkuana a kunada, “Maestro, ammomi nga ti ibagbaga ken isursurom ket husto, ken dika agpaimpluwensiya iti siasinoman, ngem isurom ti pudno maipanggep ti wagas ti Dios.
[So] one of them asked Jesus, “Teacher, we [(exc)] know that you [(sg)] speak and teach what is right. You tell the truth even if important people do not like it. You teach truthfully what God wants us to do.
22 Nainkalintegan kadi nga agbayadkam ti buis ken ni Cesar, wenno saan?”
[So tell us what you think about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
23 Ngem naawatan ni Hesus ti kinatusoda, ket kinunana kadakuada,
But Jesus knew that they were trying to trick him [to get him into trouble, either with the Jews, who hated to pay those taxes, or with the Roman government]. So he said to them,
24 “Mangiparangkayo kaniak iti denario. Siasino ti akin ladawan ken akinnagan iti daytoy?” “Ni Cesar,” insungbatda.
“Show me a [Roman] coin. [Then tell me] whose picture is on it. And [tell me whose] name is on it.” They [showed him a coin and] said, “It has the picture and name of Caesar, [the head of the Roman government].”
25 Kinunana kadakuada, “Itedyo ken ni Cesar dagiti banag a kukua ni Cesar, ken iti Dios, dagiti banag a kukua ti Dios.”
He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
26 Dagiti eskriba ken dagiti panguloen a papadi ket awan nabalinanda nga nangdillaw iti imbagana iti sangoanan dagiti tattao. Nasdaawda iti insungbatna ket awan ti imbagada.
While the people were there, the [spies] were unable to find fault with him for what he said. And they were amazed at his answer. So they said nothing.
27 Immasideg kenkuana dagiti sumagmamano nga Saduseo, isuda dagiti mangibagbaga nga awan ti panagungar,
Some Sadducees came to [Jesus]. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.
28 ket dinamagda kenkuana, a kunada, “Maestro, insurat ni Moses kadatayo a no ti maysa a lalaki ket natay ti kabsatna a lalaki, ket addaan asawa, ngem awanan anak, nasken nga asawaen ti lalaki ti asawa iti kabsatna tapno aganakda a pannaka-anak ti kabsatna a lalaki.
They [wanted to] ask [Jesus] a question [in order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again]. One of them said [to Jesus], “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] about situations where a man who has a wife but no children. If the man dies, his brother should marry the [dead man’s] widow so that she can have a child by him. People [will consider] that the child is the descendant of the man [who died], [and in that way the dead man will have descendants].
29 Adda pito nga lallaki nga agkakabsat, diay inauna ket nangasawa ngem natay nga awan putotna,
Well, there were seven brothers in one family. The oldest one married, but he and his wife did not bear any children. Later he died.
30 kasta met ti maikadua.
The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
31 Ti maikatlo innalana isuna, ket kasta metlaeng nga dagiti pito ket awan ti inbatida nga annak, ket natay.
Then the third [brother] married her, [but the same thing happened again]. All seven [brothers, one by one, married that woman], [but] they had no children, and [one by one] they died.
32 Saan nga nagbayag ket natay diay babai.
Afterwards, the woman died, too.
33 Inton panagungar, siasino ti akin asawa kenkuana? Ta aminda nga pito ket nagbalinda nga asawana.”
Therefore, [if it is true that there will be a time] when dead people will become alive again, whose wife [do you think that woman] will be [then]? ([Keep in mind that she was married to all seven brothers!/It will be impossible to decide because] she was married to all seven brothers!) [RHQ]”
34 Kinuna ni Hesus kadakuada, “Dagiti annak ditoy lubong ket agaassawa, ken maitedda a maasawa. (aiōn g165)
Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives [by their parents] {their [parents] choose wives [for them]}. (aiōn g165)
35 Ngem dagiti naukom nga maikari nga mangawat iti panagungar manipud patay a sumrek iti agnanayon ket saanen nga agasawa, wenno maited a maasawa. (aiōn g165)
But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
36 Ket saandan nga matay, gapu ta kasda la kadagiti anghel ken kadagiti an-annak ti Dios, nagbalinda nga annak ti panagungar.
[You need to know also that] they cannot die any more, because they will be [immortal] [SIM] like angels. [The fact that God has caused] them to be alive again [will show] that they are God’s children.
37 Ngem gapu ta dagiti natay ket mapagungar, uray ni Moses ket impakitana, iti lugar maipapan iti bassit a kayo, no sadino nga inawaganna ni Apo nga Dios ni Abraham ken Dios ni Isaac ken Dios ni Jacob.
But [as for people] becoming alive again after they die, Moses wrote something about that. In the place where [he wrote about] the [burning] bush, he mentions the Lord as being the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].
38 Isuna ita ket saan nga Dios dagiti natay ngem Dios dagiti sibibiag. Gapu ta sibibiag amin kenkuana.”
It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we(inc) know their spirits were still alive]! All [people] whose [spirits] are alive [again after they die continue to live to honor God]!”
39 Simmungbat dagiti dadduma nga eskriba, “Maestro, nasayaat unay ti sungbatmo.”
Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”
40 Ta saandan a maitured ti agdamag kenkuana iti dadduma pay a salsaludsod.
After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
41 Kinuna ni Hesus kadakuada, “Kasano nga naibagada a ti Kristo ket anak ni David?
Then Jesus said to them, “I will show you (OR, prove to you) that people [are wrong who] say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David! [RHQ]
42 Ta ni David nga mismo ket imbagana iti libro dagiti Salmo, Kinuna ti Apo iti Apok, 'Agtugawka iti makannawanko,
Because David himself wrote [about the Messiah] in the book of Psalms, God said to my Lord, Sit [here beside me] on my right, [where I will highly honor you(sg)] [MTY].
43 aginggana a mapagbalinko ti kabusormo a pagbatayan ti sakam.'
[Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies.
44 Inawagan ngarud ni David ni Kristo nga 'Apo', kasano ngarud nga nagbalin isuna nga anak ni David?”
King David calls [the Messiah] ‘[my] Lord’! So ([the Messiah] cannot be [just someone] descended from [King] David!/how can the Messiah be [just] someone descended from [King] David?) [RHQ] [What I just said proves that he is much greater than David, isn’t that right]?”
45 Iti panagdengngeg dagiti amin nga tattao kinunana kadagiti adalanna,
While all the [other] people were listening, [Jesus] said to his disciples,
46 “Agalwadkayo kadagiti eskriba, nga pagaayatda ti agbadbado iti atiddug nga pagan-anay, ken pagaayatda ti madaydayaw iti kaaduan ti tattao, ken kangatoan a tugtugaw iti sinagoga, ken kangatoan nga lugar iti piesta.
“Beware that [you do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They like to put on long robes and walk around [to make people think that they are very important]. [They] also like [people to] greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces. They like [to sit in] the most important places in the Jewish meeting places. At dinner parties [they like to sit in] the seats where the most honored people sit.
47 Gamgamenda dagiti babbalay dagiti balo, ken agpampammarangda nga atiddog ti kararagda. Dagitoy ket umawat iti nadagdagsen a pannusa.”
They swindle [MET] the houses [and property] of widows. [Then] they pretend they are good, as they pray [long] prayers [publicly. God] will [certainly] punish them very severely.”
