Luka 20
1 Tsiku lina pamene Iye ankaphunzitsa anthu mʼmabwalo a Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi kuphunzitsa Uthenga Wabwino, akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo, pamodzi ndi akuluakulu anabwera kwa Iye.
One day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and preaching the gospel, the priests and the scribes came with the elders
2 Iwo anati, “Mutiwuze mukuchita izi ndi ulamuliro wayani? Ndani anakupatsani ulamuliro uwu?”
and said to him, “Tell us, by what authority are yoʋ doing these things, or who is it that gave yoʋ this authority?”
3 Iye anayankha kuti, “Inenso ndikufunsani, mundiyankhe,
He answered them, “I will also ask you one question. Tell me:
4 ‘Kodi ubatizo wa Yohane, unali wochokera kumwamba, kapena wochokera kwa anthu?’”
Did John's authority to baptize come from heaven or from men?”
5 Iwo anakambirana pakati pawo ndikuti, “Ngati ife tinena kuti, ‘Kuchokera kumwamba’ Iye akatifunsa kuti, ‘chifukwa chiyani simunamukhulupirire iye?’
So they discussed it among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
6 Koma ngati ife tinena kuti, ‘kuchokera kwa anthu,’ anthu onse atigenda miyala, chifukwa amatsimikiza kuti Yohane anali mneneri.”
But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 Pamenepo iwo anayankha kuti, “Ife sitidziwa kumene unachokera.”
So they answered that they did not know where it came from.
8 Yesu anati, “Ngakhale Inenso sindikuwuzani kuti ndi ulamuliro wanji umene ndikuchitira zimenezi.”
Then Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
9 Iye anapitirira kuwawuza anthu fanizo ili: “Munthu wina analima munda wamphesa, nabwereketsa kwa alimi ena ndipo anachoka kwa nthawi yayitali.
Then he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it to farmers, and left the country for a long time.
10 Pa nthawi yokolola, iye anatumiza wantchito wake kwa alimi aja kuti amupatseko zina mwa zipatso za munda wamphesawo. Koma alimi aja anamumenya namubweza wopanda kanthu.
At harvest time he sent a servant to the farmers so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat that servant and sent him away empty-handed.
11 Iye anatumiza wantchito wina, koma uyunso anamumenya namuchita zachipongwe ndi kumubweza wopanda kanthu.
So he proceeded to send another servant, but they beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
12 Iye anatumizanso wina wachitatu ndipo iwo anamuvulaza namuponya kunja.
Then he proceeded to send a third, but they wounded him as well and threw him out.
13 “Kenaka mwini mundawo anati, ‘Kodi ndichite chiyani? Ndidzatumiza mwana wanga wamwamuna, amene ndimukonda; mwina iwo adzamuchitira ulemu.’
So the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps when they see him they will have respect for him.’
14 “Koma alimiwo ataona mwanayo, anakambirananso. Iwo anati, ‘Uyu ndiye wodzamusiyira chumachi. Tiyeni timuphe ndipo chumachi chikhala chathu.’
But when they saw him, the farmers discussed it among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.’
15 Ndipo anamuponya kunja kwa mundawo ndi kumupha. “Nanga tsono mwini munda wamphesayo adzawatani anthuwa?
So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 Iye adzabwera ndi kupha alimi aja ndi kupereka mundawo kwa ena.” Pamene anthu anamva izi, anati, “Musatero ayi.”
He will come and destroy those farmers and give the vineyard to others.” When the people heard this, they said, “Certainly not!”
17 Yesu anawayangʼanitsitsa ndipo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi tanthauzo lake ndi chiyani la zimene zinalembedwa kuti, “‘Mwala umene omanga nyumba anawukana wasanduka mwala wa pa ngodya.
But Jesus looked at them and said, “What then is the meaning of this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
18 Aliyense amene agwa pa mwalawu adzapweteka, koma iye amene udzamugwera udzamuphwanya.’”
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
19 Aphunzitsi amalamulo ndi akulu a ansembe amafuna njira yoti amuphe nthawi yomweyo, chifukwa anadziwa kuti ananena fanizo ili powatsutsa iwo. Koma iwo anali ndi mantha chifukwa cha anthu.
Then the chief priests and the scribes wanted to arrest him at that very hour, for they knew he had spoken this parable against them, but they were afraid.
20 Pamene ankamulondalonda Iye, iwo anatumiza akazitape amene amaoneka ngati achilungamo. Iwo ankafuna kumutapa mʼkamwa Yesu mu china chilichonse chimene Iye ananena kuti amupereke Iye kwa amene anali ndi mphamvu ndi ulamuliro oweruza.
So they watched him and sent spies who pretended to be sincere in order to catch him in something he said, so that they could deliver him up to the jurisdiction and authority of the governor.
21 Potero akazitapewo anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Aphunzitsi, tidziwa kuti mumayankhula ndi kuphunzitsa zimene zili zoonadi, ndi kuti simuonetsa tsankho koma mumaphunzitsa njira ya Mulungu mwachoonadi.
The spies asked him, “Teacher, we know that yoʋ speak and teach correctly, and that yoʋ do not show partiality but teach the way of God in truth.
22 Kodi ndi bwino kwa ife kumapereka msonkho kwa Kaisara kapena kusapereka?”
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 Iye anaona chinyengo chawo ndipo anawawuza kuti,
But perceiving their craftiness, Jesus said to them, “Why are you testing me?
24 “Onetseni ndalama. Chithunzi ndi malembawa ndi zayani?”
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” They answered, “Caesar's.”
25 Iwo anayankha kuti, “Za Kaisara.” Iye anawawuza kuti, “Ndiye perekani kwa Kaisara zake za Kaisara ndi kwa Mulungu zimene ndi za Mulungu.”
He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”
26 Iwo analephera kumupeza cholakwa pa zimene ankayankhula pamaso pa anthu. Ndipo pothedwa nzeru ndi yankho lake, iwo anakhala chete.
So they were not able to catch him in what he said in the presence of the people. And being amazed at his answer, they fell silent.
27 Ena mwa Asaduki, amene ankanena kuti kulibe kuuka kwa akufa, anabwera kwa Yesu ndi funso.
Now some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came up and asked Jesus,
28 Iwo anati, “Aphunzitsi, Mose anatilembera kuti munthu akamwalira ndi kusiya mkazi wopanda ana, mʼbale wa munthu womwalirayo akuyenera kukwatira mkaziyo kuti amuberekere ana mʼbale wakeyo.
“Teacher, Moses wrote for us: ‘If a man's brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, that man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’
29 Tsopano panali abale asanu ndi awiri. Woyambayo anakwatira mkazi ndipo anafa wopanda mwana.
Now there were seven brothers. The first married a woman and died childless.
30 Wachiwiri
The second married the widow, and he also died childless.
31 ndipo kenaka wachitatuyo anamukwatira iye, ndipo chimodzimodzi asanu ndi awiri aja anafa osasiya ana.
Likewise, the third also married her. In the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
32 Pa mapeto pake mkaziyo anafanso.
Last of all, the woman also died.
33 Tsopano, pa nthawi ya kuukanso, kodi mkaziyu adzakhala wayani popeza onse asanu ndi awiri anamukwatirapo?”
In the resurrection, therefore, which of them will she be the wife of? For the seven all had her as a wife.”
Jesus answered them, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 Koma mʼmoyo umene ukubwerawo, anthu amene adzaukitsidwe kwa akufa sadzakwatira kapena kukwatiwa. (aiōn g165)
but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are they given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 Ndipo sadzafanso, pakuti adzakhala ngati angelo. Iwo ndi ana a Mulungu, chifukwa adzakhala ataukitsidwa kwa akufa.
Indeed they can no longer die, for they are like angels. They are sons of God, since they are sons of the resurrection.
37 Ngakhale pa nkhani yachitsamba choyaka moto, Mose anaonetsa kuti akufa amauka, pakuti anatcha Ambuye ‘Mulungu wa Abrahamu, Mulungu wa Isake ndi Mulungu wa Yakobo.’
But even Moses indicated that the dead are raised, when he said in the passage about the burning bush, ‘The Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 Mulungu si Mulungu wa akufa, koma wa amoyo, pakuti kwa Iye onse ali ndi moyo.”
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
39 Ena mwa aphunzitsi amalamulo anayankha kuti, “Mwanena bwino mphunzitsi!”
Then some of the scribes responded, “Teacher, yoʋ have spoken well.”
40 Ndipo panalibe wina amene akanalimba mtima kumufunsa Iye mafunso ena.
And they no longer dared to ask him anything.
41 Kenaka Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Zikutheka bwanji kuti aziti Khristu ndi mwana wa Davide?
Then Jesus said to them, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
42 Davide mwini wake akunenetsa mʼbuku la Masalimo kuti, “Ambuye anati kwa Ambuye anga: ‘Khalani ku dzanja langa lamanja,
Even David himself says in the Book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand
43 mpaka Ine nditasandutsa adani anu chopondapo mapazi anu?’
until I make yoʋr enemies a footstool for yoʋr feet.”’
44 Davide akumutcha Iye ‘Ambuye.’ Nanga zingatheke bwanji kuti Iye akhale mwana wake?”
David calls him ‘Lord,’ so how is he his son?”
45 Pamene anthu onse ankamvetsera, Yesu anati kwa ophunzira ake,
As all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,
46 “Chenjerani ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo. Iwo amakonda kuyenda atavala mikanjo ndipo amakonda kulonjeredwa mʼmisika ndipo amakhala mʼmipando yofunika mʼmasunagoge ndi mʼmalo aulemu mʼmaphwando.
“Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
47 Amawadyera akazi amasiye chuma chawo ndi kuchita mapemphero aatali kuti awaone. Anthu oterewa adzalangidwa kwambiri.”
They devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive a more severe judgment.”
