***Nagpakiana mahitungod han pagbayad han buhis***

15 Linmakat an mga Pariseyo ngan naghunahuna hira hin pagbitik kan Hesus pinaagi hin pakiana.

16 Nagsugo hira ngadto kan Jesus hin pira han ira mga tinun-an ngan pira han sakop ni Herodes. 

Nagsiring hira, “Magturutdo, maaram kami nga nasumat Ka san kamatuoran; gintutukdo Mo an kamatuoran mahitungod han kanan Diyos kaburut-on para han mga tawo, hin waray kabaraka kon ano an ginhuhuna-huna han mga tawo Kay diri Ka nagtatagad han kahimtang han mga tawo.

17 Sanglit pagsumati daw kami kon ano an Imo panghuna-huna: supak han ato Balaod o diri an pagbayad han buhis ngadto ha Emperador han Roma?

18 Kundi nakasabot hi Jesus han maraot nira nga panghuna-huna, sanglit nagsiring Hiya, “Mga salingkapaw! Kay ano nga nagtalinguha kamo hin pagbitik ha Akon?

19 Pakitaa daw Ako hin kuwarta nga ibinabayad hin buhis!

Gindad-an Hiya nira hin kuwarta nga salapi

20 Ngan nagpakiana Hiya ha ira, “Kanay bayhon ug ngaran ini nga aanhi”?

21 “Kan Emperador”, binaton hira.

Sanglit nagsiring hi Jesus ha ira, “Kon amo ito, igbayad ngadto ha Emperador an kanan Emperador, ngan igbayad ngadto ha Diyos an kanan Diyos”!

Paying Taxes to the Emperor

15 Then the Pharisees went off and plotted how they might entrap him in speech.

16 They sent their disciples to Him, with the Herodians,* saying, “Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. 

And you are not concerned with anyone’s opinion, for you do not regard a person’s status.

17 Tell us, then, what is your opinion: Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?”

18 Knowing their malice, Jesus said, “Why are you testing me, you hypocrites?

19 Show me the coin that pays the census tax.” Then they handed him the Roman coin.

20 He said to them, “Whose image is this and whose inscription?”

21They replied, “Caesar’s.” At that He said to them, “Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” (Matthew 22:15-21)
