Luke 20
1 Pea pehē, ko e [ʻaho ]ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻi heʻene akonaki ki he kakai ʻi he falelotu lahi, mo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei, naʻe haʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi pea mo e mātuʻa,
And on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching, the chief priests and Scribes, with the Elders, came upon him,
2 Mo nau lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Talamai kiate kimautolu pe ko e pule fē ʻoku ke fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni? Pea ko hai ia ne ne tuku ʻae pule ni kiate koe?”
and said to him: Tell us, by what authority thou doest these things? And who is it, that gave thee this authority?
3 Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Te u fehuʻi foki kiate kimoutolu ha meʻa ʻe taha; pea tala mai kiate au:
Jesus answered, and said to them: I also will ask you a word, and tell ye me.
4 Ko e papitaiso ʻa Sione, naʻe mei he langi ia, pe mei he tangata?”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
5 Pea nau fealēleaʻaki, ʻo pehē, “Kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he langi;’ te ne pehē mai, ‘Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ai te mou tui kiate ia?’
And they reasoned with themselves, and said: If we say, From heaven; he will say to us, And why did ye not believe him?
6 Pea kapau te tau pehē, ‘Mei he tangata;’ ʻe lisingi ʻaki ʻae maka ʻakitautolu ʻe he kakai kotoa pē: he ʻoku nau ʻilo pau ko e palōfita ʻa Sione.”
But if we say, From men; all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Pea naʻa nau pehēange, kuo ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe naʻe mei fē ia.
And they said to him: We do not know, whence it was.
8 Pea pehē ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Pea ʻe ʻikai te u tala kiate kimoutolu pe ko e pule fē ʻoku ou fai ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni.”
Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell you, by what authority I do these things.
9 Pea naʻa ne kamata lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni ki he kakai; “Ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha naʻa ne tō ʻae ngoue vaine, ʻo ne tuku ia ki he kau tauhi ngoue, pea fononga mamaʻo ia ʻo fuoloa ai.
And he began to utter this similitude to the people: A certain man planted a vineyard, and leased it to cultivators, and went abroad for a long time.
10 Pea hokosia ʻae toʻukai, pea ne fekau ʻae tamaioʻeiki ki he kau tauhi ngoue, koeʻuhi ke nau ʻomi kiate ia ha fua ʻoe ngoue vaine: ka naʻe teʻia ia ʻe he kau tauhi ngoue, ʻonau kapusi ia taʻehaʻanemeʻa.
And in time, he sent his servant to the cultivators, that they might give him of the fruits of the vineyard. But the cultivators beat him, and sent him away empty.
11 Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻae tamaioʻeiki ʻe taha: pea naʻa nau teʻia foki ia, pea lahi ʻenau fai kovi [kiate ia], mo nau kapusi taʻehaʻanemeʻa.
And again he sent another servant; and him also they beat, and treated with rudeness, and sent empty away.
12 Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻa hono toko tolu: pea naʻa nau teʻia foki ia, ʻonau lī [ia ]kituaʻā.
And again he sent the third. And they wounded him, and cast him out.
13 Pea toki pehē ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine, ‘Ko e hā te u fai? Te u fekau atu hoku foha ʻofaʻanga: heiʻilo ka nau ka mamata ai te nau fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia.’
The lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my dear son. Perhaps they will look upon him, and be ashamed.
14 Ka kuo mamata ki ai ʻae kau tauhi ngoue, pea nau fealēleaʻaki, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko eni ʻae foha hoko: haʻu ke tau tāmateʻi ia, kae ʻatautolu ʻae tofiʻa.’
But when the cultivators saw him, they reasoned with themselves, and said: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
15 Pea naʻa nau lī ia kituaʻā ngoue vaine, ʻo tāmateʻi [ia]. “Pea ko e hā ʻe fai ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine kiate kinautolu?
And they cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 ʻE haʻu ia ʻo fakaʻauha ʻae kau tauhi ngoue ko ia, pea tuku ʻae ngoue ki he kakai kehe.” Pea ʻi heʻenau fanongo [ai], naʻa nau pehē, “Ke ʻoua ʻaupito.”
He will come, and destroy those cultivators, and will lease the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said: This shall not be.
17 Pea vakai atu ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē, “Ka ko e hā eni kuo tohi, ‘Ko e maka naʻe liʻaki ʻe he kau tufunga, kuo hoko ia ko e fungani [maka ] tuliki?’
And he looked upon them, and said: What is that which is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, is become the chief corner stone?
18 Ko ia ia ʻe tō ki he maka ko ia, ʻe mafesifesi ai ia; ka ko ia ʻe tō ki ai ia, ʻe momosi ia ʻo efu.”
And whoever shall fall upon this stone, will be broken; and on whomsoever it shall fall, it will crush him in pieces.
19 Pea naʻe holi ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e kau tangata tohi ʻi he feituʻulaʻā pe ko ia ke nau puke ia; ka naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai: he naʻa nau ʻilo kuo ne lea ʻaki ʻae fakatātā ni kiate kinautolu.
And the chief priests and Scribes sought to lay hands on him, at that time; but they were afraid of the people; for they knew, that he spoke this similitude against them.
20 Pea naʻa nau lamasi [ia], ʻonau fekau atu ʻae kau mataki ke nau fai fakafieangatonu, koeʻuhi ke nau femioekina ia ʻi heʻene lea, ka nau tukuange ai ia ki he mālohi mo e pule ʻae pule.
And they sent to him spies, who feigned themselves righteous men, that they might insnare him in discourse, and deliver him up to a court, and to the authority of the president.
21 Pea naʻa nau fehuʻi kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, ʻoku mau ʻilo ʻoku ke lea mo ako totonu, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ke fai filifilimānako, ka ʻoku ke akonaki ʻaki ʻae hala ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he moʻoni.
And they questioned him, and said to him: Teacher, we know that thou speakest and teachest correctly, and hast no respect of persons, but teachest the way of God in truth.
22 ʻOku ngofua ke mau ʻatu ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, pe ʻikai?”
Is it lawful for us to pay head-money to Caesar, or not?
23 Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻenau kākā, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahiʻi ai au?”
But he perceived their craftiness, and said: Why tempt ye me?
24 Fakahā mai ʻae tenali. “Ko e mata mo e tohi ʻa hai ʻoku ʻi ai?” Pea nau lea, ʻo pehēange, “ʻA Sisa.”
Show me a denarius. Whose is this image and superscription upon it? They said to him, Caesar's.
25 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ʻatu kia Sisa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻa Sisa, pea ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua.”
Jesus said to them: Then, give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's.
26 Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa femioekina ia, ʻi heʻene ngaahi lea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai: pea naʻa nau ofo ʻi heʻene lea, mo nau fakalongo pe.
And they could not catch from him a word of accusation before the people: and they were surprised at his answers, and were silent.
27 Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻae niʻihi ʻoe Satusi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu; ʻonau fehuʻi kiate ia,
And some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came and questioned him,
28 “ʻo pehē, ʻEiki, naʻe tohi ʻe Mōsese kiate kimautolu, “Kapau ʻe mate ʻae tokoua ʻo ha tangata, ka ʻoku ai hono uaifi, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau, ke maʻu ʻe hono tokoua ʻa hono uaifi, ʻo fakatupu ʻae hako ki hono tokoua.
and said to him: Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, who had a wife without children, his surviving brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his deceased brother.
29 Pea naʻe ai ʻae kāinga ʻe toko fitu: pea maʻu ʻe he ʻuluaki ʻae uaifi, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau.
Now, there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 Pea maʻu ia ʻe he toko ua ko hono uaifi, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau.
And the second took her to wife; and he died without children.
31 Pea maʻu ia ʻe hono toko tolu; pea pehē pe ō aʻu ki hono toko fitu: ka naʻa nau mate taʻehaʻanaufānau.
And again, the third took her, and in like manner also all the seven; and they died, and left no children.
32 Pea mate fakamui foki ʻae fefine.
At last, the woman likewise died.
33 Ko ia ʻi he toetuʻu ko e uaifi ʻo hai ia ʻiate kinautolu? He naʻe maʻu ia ʻe he toko fitu ko honau uaifi.”
In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife, for the seven took her?
34 Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e fānau ʻa māmani ʻoku mali pea foaki ke mali: (aiōn g165)
Jesus said to them: The children of this world take wives, and wives are given to husbands. (aiōn g165)
35 Ka ko kinautolu ʻe ʻaonga ke maʻu ʻae mama ko ia, mo e toetuʻu mei he mate, ʻe ʻikai te nau fakamaau pe foaki ke fakamaʻu: (aiōn g165)
But they who are worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands. (aiōn g165)
36 Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe mate: he ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kau ʻāngelo; mo e fānau ʻoe toetuʻu.
Neither can they die any more; for they are as the angels, and are the children of God, because they are children of the resurrection.
37 Ka ko e fokotuʻu ʻoe mate, naʻe fakahā [ia ]ʻe Mōsese, mei he ʻuluʻakau, ʻi heʻene ui ʻae ʻEiki ‘ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻEpalahame, mo e ʻOtua ʻo ʻAisake, mo e ʻOtua ʻo Sēkope.’
But that the dead will arise, even Moses showed; for, at the bush, he maketh mention, while he saith: The Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 He ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe mate, ka ko e moʻui: he ʻoku moʻui kotoa pē kiate ia.”
Now God is not the God of the dead, but of the living; for they all live to him.
39 Pea leaange ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau tangata tohi, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, kuo ke lea totonu.”
And some of the Scribes answered, and said to him: Teacher, thou hast spoken well.
40 Pea hili ia naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai mo ha fehuʻi kiate ia.
And they did not again venture to question him, on any matter.
41 Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fēfē ʻenau lau ko Kalaisi ko e foha ʻo Tevita?
And he said also to them: How do the Scribes say of Messiah, that he is the son of David?
42 Kae pehē ʻe Tevita ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi Saame, ‘Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki, Nofo koe ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu,
And David himself said, in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, seat thyself at my right hand,
43 Kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe.”’
until I shall place thy foes under thy feet.
44 Ko ia naʻe ui ia ʻe Tevita ko e ‘ʻEiki,’ pea ko hono foha fēfē ia?”
If David, therefore, called him, My Lord; how is he his son?
45 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē,
And while all the people heard, he said to his disciples:
46 “Vakai ki he kau tangata tohi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku nau manako ke ʻalu mo e kofu fakatōtōlofa, mo nau leleiʻia ʻi he fetapa ʻi he ngaahi potu fakatau, mo e nofoʻanga māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi falelotu, mo e potu lelei ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga;
Beware of the Scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and love a salutation in the streets, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the chief couches at suppers:
47 ʻOku nau faʻao ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, mo fai fakalōloa ʻae ngaahi lotu ʻi he kākā: ʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu ni ʻae malaʻia lahi.”
who eat up the houses of widows, under pretence that they prolong their prayers. They will receive a greater condemnation.
