Luke 20
1One day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes with the elders came up
1PEA 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,
2and said to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is that gave you this authority.”
2Mo 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?”
3He answered them,“I also will ask you a question. Now tell me,
3Pea lea ia, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Te u fehuʻi foki kiate kimoutolu ha meʻa ʻe taha; pea tala mai kiate au:
4was the baptism of John from heaven or from man?”
4Ko e papitaiso ʻa Sione, naʻe mei he langi ia, pe mei he tangata?”
5And they discussed it with one another, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
5Pea 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?’
6But if we say, ‘From man,’all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
6Pea 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.”
7So they answered that they did not know where it came from.
7Pea naʻa nau pehēange, kuo ʻikai te nau ʻilo pe naʻe mei fē ia.
8And Jesus said to them,“Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
8Pea 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.”
9And he began to tell the people this parable:“A man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants and went into another country for a long while.
9Pea 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.
10When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
10Pea 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.
11And he sent another servant. But they also beat and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
11Pea 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.
12And he sent yet a third. This one also they wounded and cast out.
12Pea toe fekau ʻe ia ʻa hono toko tolu: pea naʻa nau teʻia foki ia, ʻonau lī ia kituaʻā.
13Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’
13Pea 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.’
14But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance may be ours.’
14Ka 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.’
15And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
15Pea naʻa nau lī ia kituaʻā ngoue vaine, ʻo tāmateʻi ia . “Pea ko e hā ʻe fai ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe ngoue vaine kiate kinautolu?
16He will come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” When they heard this, they said, “Surely not!”
16ʻE 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.”
17But he looked directly at them and said,“What then is this that is written: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
17Pea 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?’
18Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.”
18Ko 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.”
19The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.
19Pea 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.
20So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.
20Pea 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.
21So they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God.
21Pea 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.
22Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?”
22ʻOku ngofua ke mau ʻatu ʻae tukuhau kia Sisa, pe ʻikai?”
23But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,
23Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻenau kākā, pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou ʻahiʻahiʻi ai au?”
24“Show me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?” They said, “Caesar’s.”
24Fakahā mai ʻae tenali. “Ko e mata mo e tohi ʻa hai ʻoku ʻi ai?” Pea nau lea, ʻo pehēange, “ʻA Sisa.”
25He said to them,“Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
25Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ʻatu kia Sisa ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻa Sisa, pea ki he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua.”
26And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent.
26Pea 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.
27There came to him some Sadducees, those who deny that there is a resurrection,
27Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻae niʻihi ʻoe Satusi, ʻakinautolu ʻoku pehē ʻoku ʻikai ha toetuʻu; ʻonau fehuʻi kiate ia,
28and they asked him a question, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife but no children, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
28“ʻo pehē, ʻEiki, naʻe tohi ʻe Mōsese kiate kimautolu, “Kapau ʻe mate ʻae tokoua ʻo ha tangata, ka ʻoku ai hono ʻunoho, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau, ke maʻu ʻe hono tokoua ʻa hono ʻunoho, ʻo fakatupu ʻae hako ki hono tokoua.
29Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died without children.
29Pea naʻe ai ʻae kāinga ʻe toko fitu: pea maʻu ʻe he ʻuluaki ʻae ʻunoho, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau.
30And the second
30Pea maʻu ia ʻe he toko ua ko hono ʻunoho, pea mate ia taʻehaʻanefānau.
31and the third took her, and likewise all seven left no children and died.
31Pea maʻu ia ʻe hono toko tolu; pea pehē pe ō aʻu ki hono toko fitu: ka naʻa nau mate taʻehaʻanaufānau.
32Afterward the woman also died.
32Pea mate fakamui foki ʻae fefine.
33In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had her as wife.”
33Ko ia ʻi he toetuʻu ko e ʻunoho ʻo hai ia ʻiate kinautolu? He naʻe maʻu ia ʻe he toko fitu ko honau ʻunoho.”
34And Jesus said to them,“The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,
34Pea lea ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehēange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e fānau ʻa māmani ʻoku mali pea foaki ke mali:
35but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage,
35Ka 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:
36for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
36Pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe mate: he ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e kau ʻāngelo; mo e fānau ʻoe toetuʻu.
37But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
37Ka 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.’
38Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.”
38He ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua ia ʻoe mate, ka ko e moʻui: he ʻoku moʻui kotoa pē kiate ia.”
39Then some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”
39Pea leaange ʻae niʻihi ʻoe kau tangata tohi, ʻo pehē, “ʻEiki, kuo ke lea totonu.”
40For they no longer dared to ask him any question.
40Pea hili ia naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa fai mo ha fehuʻi kiate ia.
41But he said to them,“How can they say that the Christ is David’s son?
41Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku fēfē ʻenau lau ko Kalaisi ko e foha ʻo Tevita?
42For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, “‘The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
42Kae pehē ʻe Tevita ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi Saame, ‘Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova ki hoku ʻEiki, Nofo koe ki hoku nima toʻomataʻu,
43until I make your enemies your footstool.’
43Kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻungavaʻe.”|’
44David thus calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
44Ko ia naʻe ui ia ʻe Tevita ko e ‘ʻEiki,’ pea ko hono foha fēfē ia?”
45And in the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,
45Pea toki pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene kau ākonga, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē,
46“Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces and the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at feasts,
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;
47who devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.”
47ʻOku nau faʻao ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe kau fefine kuo mate honau ʻunoho, mo fai fakalōloa ʻae ngaahi lotu ʻi he kākā: ʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu ni ʻae malaʻia lahi.”
