| 20:1 |
ແລະມັນເກີດຂຶ້ນນັ້ນ, on one of the days when he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Gospel, ຜູ້ນໍາຂອງພວກປະໂລຫິດ, ແລະພວກທຳມະຈານ, gathered together with the elders, |
| 20:2 |
and they spoke to him, ເວົ້າ: "ບອກພວກເຮົາ, by what authority do you do these things? ຫຼື, who is it that has given you this authority?” |
| 20:3 |
ແລະໃນການຕອບໂຕ້, ພະເຍຊູກ່າວກັບເຂົາເຈົ້າ: “I will also question you about one word. Respond to me: |
| 20:4 |
ບັບຕິສະມາຂອງໂຢຮັນ, was it from heaven, or of men?” |
| 20:5 |
So they discussed it among themselves, ເວົ້າ: “ຖ້າພວກເຮົາເວົ້າ, ‘ຈາກສະຫວັນ,' ລາວຈະເວົ້າວ່າ, ‘ແລ້ວເປັນຫຍັງເຈົ້າຈຶ່ງບໍ່ເຊື່ອລາວ?' |
| 20:6 |
But if we say, ‘Of men,’ the whole people will stone us. For they are certain that John was a prophet.” |
| 20:7 |
And so they responded that they did not know where it was from. |
| 20:8 |
ແລະພຣະເຢຊູໄດ້ກ່າວກັບເຂົາເຈົ້າ, “ເຮົາກໍຈະບໍ່ບອກເຈົ້າວ່າຂ້ອຍເຮັດສິ່ງເຫຼົ່ານີ້ໂດຍອຳນາດອັນໃດ.” |
| 20:9 |
Then he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, and he loaned it to settlers, and he was on a sojourn for a long time. |
| 20:10 |
And in due time, he sent a servant to the farmers, so that they would give to him from the fruit of the vineyard. And they beat him and drove him away, empty-handed. |
| 20:11 |
And he continued to send another servant. But beating him and treating him with contempt, they likewise sent him away, empty-handed. |
| 20:12 |
And he continued to send a third. And wounding him also, they drove him away. |
| 20:13 |
Then the lord of the vineyard said: ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps when they have seen him, they will respect him.’ |
| 20:14 |
And when the settlers had seen him, they discussed it among themselves, ເວົ້າ: ‘This one is the heir. Let us kill him, so that the inheritance will be ours.’ |
| 20:15 |
And forcing him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What, ແລ້ວ, will the lord of the vineyard do to them?” |
| 20:16 |
“He will come and destroy those settlers, and he will give the vineyard to others.” And upon hearing this, ພວກເຂົາເວົ້າກັບລາວ, “Let it not be.” |
| 20:17 |
ຈາກນັ້ນ, ແນມເບິ່ງເຂົາເຈົ້າ, ລາວເວົ້າວ່າ: “Then what does this mean, which is written: ‘The stone which the builders have rejected, the same has become the head of the corner?' |
| 20:18 |
Everyone who falls on that stone will be shattered. And anyone upon whom it falls will be crushed.” |
| 20:19 |
ແລະຜູ້ນໍາຂອງພວກປະໂລຫິດ, ແລະພວກທຳມະຈານ, were seeking to lay hands on him in that same hour, but they feared the people. For they realized that he had spoken this parable about them. |
| 20:20 |
And being attentive, they sent traitors, who would pretend that they were just, so that they might catch him in his words and then hand him over to the power and authority of the procurator. |
| 20:21 |
ແລະພວກເຂົາໄດ້ຖາມລາວ, ເວົ້າ: “ອາຈານ, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and that you do not consider anyone’s status, ແຕ່ເຈົ້າສອນທາງຂອງພຣະເຈົ້າຕາມຄວາມຈິງ. |
| 20:22 |
Is it lawful for us to pay the tribute to Caesar, or not?” |
| 20:23 |
But realizing their deceitfulness, ລາວເວົ້າກັບເຂົາເຈົ້າ: “ເປັນຫຍັງເຈົ້າຈຶ່ງທົດສອບຂ້ອຍ? |
| 20:24 |
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” In response, ພວກເຂົາເວົ້າກັບລາວ, "ຂອງເຊຊາ." |
| 20:25 |
ແລະດັ່ງນັ້ນ, ລາວເວົ້າກັບເຂົາເຈົ້າ: “Then repay the things that are Caesar’s, to Caesar, and the things that are God’s, to God.” |
| 20:26 |
And they were not able to contradict his word before the people. And being amazed at his answer, they were silent. |
| 20:27 |
Now some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, ເຂົ້າຫາພຣະອົງ. ແລະພວກເຂົາໄດ້ຖາມລາວ, |
| 20:28 |
ເວົ້າ: “ອາຈານ, Moses wrote for us: If any man’s brother will have died, having a wife, and if he does not have any children, then his brother should take her as his wife, and he should raise up offspring for his brother. |
| 20:29 |
And so there were seven brothers. ແລະຜູ້ທໍາອິດໄດ້ເມຍ, and he died without sons. |
| 20:30 |
And the next one married her, and he also died without a son. |
| 20:31 |
And the third married her, and similarly all seven, and none of them left behind any offspring, and they each died. |
| 20:32 |
ສຸດທ້າຍ, ແມ່ຍິງຍັງໄດ້ເສຍຊີວິດ. |
| 20:33 |
In the resurrection, ແລ້ວ, whose wife will she be? For certainly all seven had her as a wife.” |
| 20:34 |
ແລະດັ່ງນັ້ນ, ພະເຍຊູກ່າວກັບເຂົາເຈົ້າ: “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. |
| 20:35 |
ຢ່າງແທ້ຈິງ, those who shall be held worthy of that age, and of the resurrection from the dead, will neither be married, nor take wives. |
| 20:36 |
For they can no longer die. For they are equal to the Angels, and they are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection. |
| 20:37 |
ສໍາລັບຄວາມຈິງ, the dead do rise again, as Moses also showed beside the bush, when he called the Lord: ‘The God of Abraham, ແລະພຣະເຈົ້າຂອງອີຊາກ, and the God of Jacob.’ |
| 20:38 |
And so he is not the God of the dead, ແຕ່ຂອງດໍາລົງຊີວິດ. For all are alive to him.” |
| 20:39 |
Then some of the scribes, in response, ເວົ້າກັບລາວ, “ອາຈານ, you have spoken well.” |
| 20:40 |
And they no longer dared to question him about anything. |
| 20:41 |
ແຕ່ພຣະອົງໄດ້ກ່າວກັບພວກເຂົາ: “How can they say that the Christ is the son of David? |
| 20:42 |
Even David himself says, in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, |
| 20:43 |
until I set your enemies as your footstool.’ |
| 20:44 |
ເພາະສະນັ້ນ, David calls him Lord. So how can he be his son?” |
| 20:45 |
Now in the hearing of all the people, ພຣະອົງໄດ້ກ່າວກັບພວກສາວົກຂອງພຣະອົງ: |
| 20:46 |
“Be cautious of the scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and who love greetings in the marketplace, ແລະເກົ້າອີ້ທໍາອິດໃນທໍາມະສາລາ, and the first places at table during feasts, |
| 20:47 |
who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayers. These will receive the greater damnation.” |
