Luke 20
1 Sie len ke Jesus el muta in Tempul in luti mwet uh ac fahkak ke Pweng Wo, mwet tol fulat ac mwet luti Ma Sap, wi pac un mwet matu elos tuku
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 ac fahk nu sel, “Fahkma nu sesr, ma ya ku lom in oru ma inge? Su sot ku ingan nu sum uh?”
They asked him, "Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?"
3 Jesus el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Inge nga ac siyuk suwos sie mwe siyuk. Fahkma nu sik,
He answered them, "I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 ku lal John in baptaisi mwet tuku ya me? Ya ma sin God me, ku ma sin mwet uh?”
the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from man?"
5 Elos mutawauk in asiyuki inmasrlolos, “Mea kut ac fahk? Kut fin fahk mu, ‘Ma sin God,’ el ac mu, ‘Fin ouingan, efu kowos ku tia lulalfongel John?’
They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'
6 A kut fin fahk mu, ‘Ma sin mwet uh,’ un mwet na lulap se inge ac tungal kut nwe ke kut misa, mweyen elos lulalfongi mu mwet palu se pa John.”
But if we say, 'From man,' all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."
7 Ouinge elos fahk, “Kut tia etu lah tuku ya me.”
They answered that they did not know where it was from.
8 Ac Jesus el fahk nu selos, “Fin ouingan, nga ac tia pac fahk nu suwos lah ma ya ku luk in oru ma inge.”
Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."
9 Na Jesus el fahk pupulyuk se inge nu sin mwet uh: “Oasr sie mwet ma yukwiya ima in grape se, ac sang nu sin kutu mwet in karingin, na el som liki facl sel ke pacl na loeloes.
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 Ke sun pacl in telani grape in ima uh, el supwala mwet kulansap se nu yurin mwet karingin ima uh in tuh use ip lal ke ma elos kosrani uh. Tusruktu mwet liyaung ima uh uni mwet kulansap sac nwe folokunulla pisinpo.
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 Na el sifilpa supwala sie pac mwet kulansap; ac mwet liyaung ima elos sifilpa onel, oral arulana koluk, ac folokunulla pisinpo pac.
He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Na el sifilpa supwala mwet kulansap se aktolu. Mwet karingin ima elos kanteya pac ac sisella.
He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him, and threw him out.
13 Na mwet se ma la ima uh fahk, ‘Mea nga ac oru uh? Nga ac supwala wen kulo se nutik inge. Pwayena lah elos ac akfulatyal!’
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 Tusruktu, ke mwet liyaung ima uh liyalak elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, ‘Wen se nutin mwet se la ima uh pa inge. Kut unilya, na ma lal inge ac fah lasr lac!’
"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 Ouinge elos sisella liki ima uh ac unilya. Na Jesus el siyuk, “Mea mwet se la ima uh ac oru nu sin mwet ma karingin ima uh?
They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 El ac tuku ac uniya mwet inge, ac sang ima uh nu sin kutu pacna mwet.” Ke mwet uh lohng ma inge elos fahk, “Tia ku in ouinge!”
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 Jesus el ngetang suelosi ac fahk, “Ac pia kalmen Ma Simusla se inge? ‘Eot se ma mwet musa uh nunku mu wangin sripa ac sisla, Pa yohk sripa oemeet uh.’
But he looked at them, and said, "Then what is this that is written, 'The stone which the builders rejected, the same was made the chief cornerstone?'
18 Kutena mwet su putatyang nu fin eot sacn, ac fah musalsalu mano nu ke ip srisrik. Ac eot sac fin putati nu fin sie mwet, ac fah mokutkuti oana kutkut.”
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will crush him."
19 Mwet luti Ma Sap ac mwet tol fulat elos kena kapriya Jesus in pacl sacna, mweyen elos etu lah el fahk pupulyuk sac lainulos; tuh elos sangeng sin mwet uh.
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 Ke ma inge elos suk sie pacl wo lalos. Elos moli nu sin kutu mwet in som ac oru lumahlos in oana elos mwet suwoswos, sruhk elos supwalosla in sruokilya Jesus ke mwe siyuk kutasrik lalos, elos in mau eisalang nu ke ku fulat lun Governor lalos, su siemwet Rome.
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 Mwet kutasrik inge fahk nu sin Jesus, “Mwet Luti, kut etu lah kas lom ac ma kom luti inge ma pwaye. Kut etu lah kom tia wiwi mwet, a kom luti ma pwaye ke ma lungse lun God.
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 Fahkma nu sesr, ya ac lain Ma Sap lasr uh mwet uh in moli tax nu sin Caesar, Tokosra Fulat lun acn Rome, ku tia?”
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
23 Tuh Jesus el akilen kutasrik lalos, ac el fahk nu selos,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,
24 “Use sie ipin mani silver an nu sik ngan liye. Mutun su ac inen su oan kac inge?” Ac elos fahk, “Ma lun Caesar.”
"Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?" They answered, "Caesar's."
25 Na Jesus el fahk, “Kwal, sang nu sin Caesar ma lun Caesar, ac sang nu sin God ma lun God.”
He said to them, "Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
26 Ouinge elos koflana sruokilya ye mutun mwet uh ke kutena kas lal, na elos misla ac arulana lut ke top lal uh.
They weren't able to trap him in his words before the people. And amazed at his answer, they fell silent.
27 Na kutu mwet Sadducee, su fahk mu mwet uh ac fah tia sifil moulyak, elos tuku nu yurin Jesus ac fahk,
Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
28 “Mwet Luti, Moses el tuh simusla ma sap se inge nu sesr, ‘Mukul se fin misa ac wangin tulik natul, mwet lin mukul sacn enenu in payukyak sin katinmas sacn eltal in mau ku in oswela kutu tulik ma ac pangpang ma nutin mukul se ma misa uh.’
They asked him, "Teacher, Moses 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 Tuh oasr tamulel itkosr — ma se ma matu el payuk nwe misa, a wangin tulik natul.
There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 Na el su akluo el payukyak sin katinmas sac,
The second and
31 na sifilpa ma se aktolu uh. Lumah sacna sikyak nu sin tamulel itkosr ah nufon — elos misa ac wangin tulik natulos.
the third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
32 Na tok katinmas sac misa.
Afterward the woman also died.
33 Na fuka, ke ac mau sun len in sifil moulyak uh, ac kien su katinmas sac? Nufonna mwet itkosr uh tuh payuk nu sel.”
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife."
Jesus said to them, "The people of this age marry and are given to someone to marry. (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 Elos ac fah oana lipufan, ac tia ku in misa. Elos ma nutin God, mweyen elos moulyak liki misa.
For they cannot die any more, for they are like the angels, and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
37 Moses el arulana akpwayei lah mwet misa elos sifil moulyak. Ke sramsram ke firir se in kupo sac, el kaskas kacl Leum ouinge: ‘El God lal Abraham, God lal Isaac, ac God lal Jacob.’
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord 'The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.'
38 Ke ma inge El God lun mwet moul, tia lun mwet misa, tuh nu sel mwet nukewa moul.”
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him."
39 Na kutu sin mwet luti Ma Sap elos fahk nu sel, “Mwet Luti, wona top lom an!”
Some of the scribes answered, "Teacher, you speak well."
40 Ac elos koflana sifil siyuk kutena ma sel.
They did not dare to ask him any more questions.
41 Jesus el siyuk selos, “Efu ku fwack mu Christ el wen natul David?
He said to them, "Why do they say that the Christ is David's son?
42 Ku David el sifacna fahk in book in Psalm mu, ‘Leum God El fahk nu sin Leum luk: Muta siskuk layot
David himself says in the scroll of Psalms, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,
43 Nwe ke nga oru mwet lokoalok lom oana sie ma loangeyen niom.’
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet."'
44 David el pangnol ‘Leum.’ Fin ouinge, fuka tuh Christ elan wen natul David?”
"David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?"
45 Ke mwet uh nukewa lohng, Jesus el fahk nu sin mwet tumal lutlut,
In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
46 “Kowos karinginkowosyang liki mwet luti Ma Sap uh, su lungse forfor nukum nuknuk loeloes lalos, ac oayapa tuh mwet uh in paingulos ac akfulatyalos ke nien kuka uh; ac sulela nien muta fulat in iwen lolngok ac yen ma wo emeet in pacl in kufwa;
"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 su lungsena kiapu katinmas ac pisre lohm selos, tari elos filangkin pre loeloes lalos! Kai nu selos uh ac fah arulana upa!”
who devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these will receive greater condemnation."
