Luka 20
1 Lyuŵa limo Che Yesu paŵaliji nkwajiganya ŵandu pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kulalichila Ngani Jambone, ŵaiche achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga che Musa ni achachekulu
One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.
2 ŵammusisye, “Ntusalile! Ana kwa ulamusi chi nkupanganya yeleyi? Sooni ŵaani ŵampele mmwe ulamusi u?”
“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”
3 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nomwe ŵakwe chinammusye liusyo, musalile,
“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:
4 ana ulamusi u che Yohana wa kubatisya watyochele kwa Akunnungu pane kwa ŵandu?”
John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵaŵechetesyene achitiji yeleyi, “Twajilaga watyochele kwa Akunnungu, chatuusye, ‘Ligongo chi nganimunkulupilila jwelejo?’
They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
6 Ni twajilaga watyochele kwa ŵandu, ŵandu wose ŵa chatuulaje ni maganga, pakuŵa ŵandu wose akukulupilila kuti che Yohana ŵaliji jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.”
But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
7 Nipele ŵajanjile, “Ngatukumanyilila kwautyochele ulamusi wo.”
So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
8 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵanyawo, “None jwakwe ngangunsalila ngutenda yeleyi kwa ulamusi chi.”
And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
9 Che Yesu ŵapundile kwatanjila ŵandu chitagu chati, “Mundu jumo ŵalimile ngunda wa misabibu ni ŵakodisisye ŵakulima, nipele ŵajawile ku chilambo chine ni ŵalonjele kweleko moŵa gamajinji.
Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.
10 Katema kamagungulo, mundu jo ŵantumile kapolo jwao ku ngunda wa misabibu kwa ŵakulima ŵala, kukujigala liunjili lyakwe lya magungulo. Nambo ŵakulima ŵala ŵamputile kapolo jo ni kummusya makono pe.
At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.
11 Nsyene ngunda jula ŵantumile kapolo jwine, nambo jwelejo nombe ni ŵamputile ni kuntendela ya chipongo ni kummusya makono pe.
So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
12 Ŵantumile sooni jwaatatu, jwelejo nombe ŵammulesye ni kwajasila paasa ngunda.
Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
13 Nipele nsyene ngunda wa misabibu jula ŵaganisisye achitiji, ‘Chindende ichichi? Chinampeleche mwanangu jwajika jwakunonyelwa pane chakanchimbichisye jwelejo.’
‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’
14 Nambo ŵakulima ŵala paŵammweni, ŵaŵechetesyene jwine ni jwine, achitiji, ‘Aju ni juchapochele iŵagosele, twende tummulaje kuti indu iŵagosele tujigale uwe.’
But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
15 Nipele, ŵankopwesye paasa ngunda wa misabibu ula ni kummulaga.” Nipele Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Ana nsyene ngunda wo, chachatenda ichichi ŵakulima wo?”
So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 “Chaiche ni kwaulaga ŵakulima wo ni kwapa ŵakulima ŵane ngunda wa misabibu wo.” Ŵandu paŵagapilikene gele maloŵe ni ŵatite, “Ngwamba! Gakatukopochela namose kanandi!”
He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”
17 Nambo Che Yesu ŵalolite ŵanyawo ni kwausya, “Ana aga Malembelo ga Akunnungu ga gana malumbo chi? Gagakuti, ‘Liganga lyalikanile ŵakutaŵa, sambano lilyolyo lili lyetendekwe liganga lyekulungwa lyakwimichila nyuumba!’
But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
18 Mundu jwalijose juchalikuŵale pa liganga lyo, chakasiche ipande ni lyangwililaga mundu jwalijose chilinsyaje.”
Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
19 Ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu ni achakulu ŵambopesi ŵasakaga kunkamula Che Yesu ndaŵi jo, pakuŵa ŵaimanyilile kuti chitagu chi chaliji nkwagamba ŵanyawo nambo ŵaajogwepe ŵandu.
When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.
20 Ŵaliji nkwakuilichisya uchenene nipele, ŵalajisye ŵakuuchilichisya ŵaŵalitendaga ŵambone. Ŵatesile yele kuti ŵatanjisye Che Yesu kwa maloŵe gao ni kwajausya pa ulamusi wa jwankulu jwa chilambo.
So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.
21 Ŵakuuchilichisya wo, ŵammusisye Che Yesu achitiji, “Jwakwiganya, tukumanyilila kuti nkusala ni kwiganya maloŵe ga isyene ni tukumanyilila kuti nganinkola lusagu kwa mundu jwalijose nambo nkwiganya yakuti matame mpela ila Akunnungu yakutulajichisya.
“Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
22 Ntusalile, ana ili yambone kwausya nsongo kwa Mwenye jwa ku Loma pane ngwamba?”
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23 Nambo Che Yesu ŵachimanyilile chitanji chao ni ŵaasalile kuti,
But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,
24 “Muunosye mbiya. Ni ŵausisye kuti ana ku meeso ku ni liina li lyacheni?” Nombewo ŵajanjile, “Ja mwenye jwa ku Loma.”
“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
25 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nipele mwape Mwenye jwa ku Loma yaili yao ni Akunnungu yaili yao.”
So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
26 Nganakombola kwakamula atamuno kwa liloŵe lililyose paujo pa ŵandu nambo ŵasimosile kwanga kwao ni ŵamyalele.
And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
27 Masadukayo ŵampepe ŵakutinji, ngapagwa kusyuka kwa ŵandu ŵawile ŵanjaulile Che Yesu ni kwausya,
Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
28 “Jwakwiganya, che Musa ŵatulembele kuti iŵaga chawe nkulugwe mundu jumo ni kunleka ŵankwakwe pangali ŵanache, mpwakwe ajinjile majumba kuti akombole kummelechela nkulugwe jo ŵanache.
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.
29 Nipele, ŵapali achachanda saba uŵaŵelekwe ni mundu jumo. Jwaandanda ŵalombele jwankongwe ni ŵawile pangaleka mwanache.
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless.
30 Ni jwaaŵili ŵajinjile majumba nombejo ŵawile pangaleka mwanache,
Then the second
31 ni jwaatatu ŵajinjile majumba, iyoyo peyo wose saba ŵamasile kuwa pangaleka ŵanache.
and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
32 Kumbesi jwankongwe jula nombe ŵawile.
And last of all, the woman died.
33 Sambano, ana pakumala kusyuka ŵawe jwankongwe jo chachiŵa jwankongwe jwa ŵaani? Pakuŵa wose saba ŵala ŵanlombele jwelejo.”
So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 nambo uchaŵalanjikwe kuti akuŵajilwa kusyuswa ni kutama mu katema kakakwika ngasalombela atamuno kulombwa. (aiōn g165)
But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 Usyene ukuti ngaikomboleka kuwa sooni, ligongo chachiŵa mpela achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵa Akunnungu nombewo chaaŵe ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, pakuŵa asyuchile.
In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
37 Namose che Musa ŵalosisye pangasisa kuti ŵawile chachisyuswa. Mmalembelo gakwe gagalembekwe nkati chisukutu chichakolelaga mooto, ŵelewo akwatanga Ambuje kuti ali Akunnungu ŵa che Iblahimu ni Akunnungu ŵa che Isaka ni Akunnungu ŵa che Yakobo.
Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 Ŵelewo nganaŵa Akunnungu ŵa ŵawile nambo ali Akunnungu ŵa ŵajumi, pakuŵa kwa ŵelewo wose akukola umi.”
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”
39 Ŵakwiganya malajisyo ŵampepe ŵanjanjile, “Jwakwiganya, elo njanjile isyene.”
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”
40 Ŵanyawo nganalinga kummusya sooni liusyo line.
And they did not dare to question Him any further.
41 Che Yesu ŵausisye kuti, “Kwa chichi ŵandu akuti Kilisito Nkulupusyo ali wa uŵelesi u che Daudi?
Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
42 Che Daudi asyene akuŵecheta mmalembelo ga Sabuli, ‘Ambuje ŵaasalile Ambuje ŵangu, Ntame kundyo kwangu
For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
43 mpaka pachinaaŵiche ŵammagongo ŵenu paasi pa sajo syenu.’
until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
44 Nipele iŵaga che Daudi akwaŵilanga Kilisito Nkulupusyo ‘Ambuje,’ iŵele uli sooni aŵe uŵelesi u che Daudi?”
Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
45 Ŵandu wose paŵaliji aninkwapilikanila Che Yesu, ŵelewo ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti,
In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,
46 “Nlilolechesye ni ŵakwiganya malajisyo ŵakusaka kwendajenda ali awete minjilo jajileu. Ŵakunonyelwa akomasikwe kwakuchimbichikwa peuto pakuchingangana ŵandu achajinji ni ŵakutama mu itengu yakuchimbichika mmajumba ga kupopelela ni kutama mmauto gakuchimbichikwa pa chakulya.
“Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.
47 Ŵakwasumula majumba achakongwe ŵawililwe ni achiŵankwawo ni kupopela mapopelo gamaleu kuti aloleche ŵambone paujo pa ŵandu. Kwalyele ligongo lyo chalamulikwe kwachikali nnope kupunda ŵane!”
They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
