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
And it happened that, on one of the days when he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Gospel, the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, gathered together with the elders,
2 ŵammusisye, “Ntusalile! Ana kwa ulamusi chi nkupanganya yeleyi? Sooni ŵaani ŵampele mmwe ulamusi u?”
and they spoke to him, saying: “Tell us, by what authority do you do these things? Or, who is it that has given you this authority?”
3 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Nomwe ŵakwe chinammusye liusyo, musalile,
And in response, Jesus said to them: “I will also question you about one word. Respond to me:
4 ana ulamusi u che Yohana wa kubatisya watyochele kwa Akunnungu pane kwa ŵandu?”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?”
5 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵaŵechetesyene achitiji yeleyi, “Twajilaga watyochele kwa Akunnungu, chatuusye, ‘Ligongo chi nganimunkulupilila jwelejo?’
So they discussed it among themselves, saying: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Then 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, ‘Of men,’ the whole people will stone us. For they are certain that John was a prophet.”
7 Nipele ŵajanjile, “Ngatukumanyilila kwautyochele ulamusi wo.”
And so they responded that they did not know where it was from.
8 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵanyawo, “None jwakwe ngangunsalila ngutenda yeleyi kwa ulamusi chi.”
And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do 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 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.
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.
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.
11 Nsyene ngunda jula ŵantumile kapolo jwine, nambo jwelejo nombe ni ŵamputile ni kuntendela ya chipongo ni kummusya makono pe.
And he continued to send another servant. But beating him and treating him with contempt, they likewise sent him away, empty-handed.
12 Ŵantumile sooni jwaatatu, jwelejo nombe ŵammulesye ni kwajasila paasa ngunda.
And he continued to send a third. And wounding him also, they drove him away.
13 Nipele nsyene ngunda wa misabibu jula ŵaganisisye achitiji, ‘Chindende ichichi? Chinampeleche mwanangu jwajika jwakunonyelwa pane chakanchimbichisye jwelejo.’
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.’
14 Nambo ŵakulima ŵala paŵammweni, ŵaŵechetesyene jwine ni jwine, achitiji, ‘Aju ni juchapochele iŵagosele, twende tummulaje kuti indu iŵagosele tujigale uwe.’
And when the settlers had seen him, they discussed it among themselves, saying: ‘This one is the heir. Let us kill him, so that 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?”
And forcing him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What, then, will the lord 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 destroy those settlers, and he will give the vineyard to others.” And upon hearing this, they said to him, “Let it not be.”
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!’
Then, gazing at them, he said: “Then what does this mean, which is written: ‘The stone which the builders have rejected, the same has become the head of the corner?’
18 Mundu jwalijose juchalikuŵale pa liganga lyo, chakasiche ipande ni lyangwililaga mundu jwalijose chilinsyaje.”
Everyone who falls on that stone will be shattered. And anyone upon 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.
And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, 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 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.
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.
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.
And they questioned him, saying: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach correctly, and that you do not consider anyone’s status, but you teach the way of God in truth.
22 Ntusalile, ana ili yambone kwausya nsongo kwa Mwenye jwa ku Loma pane ngwamba?”
Is it lawful for us to pay the tribute to Caesar, or not?”
23 Nambo Che Yesu ŵachimanyilile chitanji chao ni ŵaasalile kuti,
But realizing their deceitfulness, he said to them: “Why do you test me?
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 does it have?” In response, they said to him, “Caesar’s.”
25 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nipele mwape Mwenye jwa ku Loma yaili yao ni Akunnungu yaili yao.”
And so, he said to them: “Then repay the things that are Caesar’s, to Caesar, and the things that are God’s, to God.”
26 Nganakombola kwakamula atamuno kwa liloŵe lililyose paujo pa ŵandu nambo ŵasimosile kwanga kwao ni ŵamyalele.
And they were not able to contradict his word before the people. And being amazed at his answer, they were silent.
27 Masadukayo ŵampepe ŵakutinji, ngapagwa kusyuka kwa ŵandu ŵawile ŵanjaulile Che Yesu ni kwausya,
Now some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached him. And they questioned 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.
saying: “Teacher, 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.
29 Nipele, ŵapali achachanda saba uŵaŵelekwe ni mundu jumo. Jwaandanda ŵalombele jwankongwe ni ŵawile pangaleka mwanache.
And so there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and he died without sons.
30 Ni jwaaŵili ŵajinjile majumba nombejo ŵawile pangaleka mwanache,
And the next one married her, and he also died without a son.
31 ni jwaatatu ŵajinjile majumba, iyoyo peyo wose saba ŵamasile kuwa pangaleka ŵanache.
And the third married her, and similarly all seven, and none of them left behind any offspring, and they each died.
32 Kumbesi jwankongwe jula nombe ŵawile.
Last of all, the woman also died.
33 Sambano, ana pakumala kusyuka ŵawe jwankongwe jo chachiŵa jwankongwe jwa ŵaani? Pakuŵa wose saba ŵala ŵanlombele jwelejo.”
In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For certainly all seven had her as a wife.”
And so, Jesus said to them: “The children 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)
Yet truly, those who shall be held worthy of that age, and of the resurrection from the dead, will neither be married, nor take wives. (aiōn g165)
36 Usyene ukuti ngaikomboleka kuwa sooni, ligongo chachiŵa mpela achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵa Akunnungu nombewo chaaŵe ŵanache ŵa Akunnungu, pakuŵa asyuchile.
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.
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.
For in truth, the dead do rise again, as Moses also showed beside the bush, when he called the Lord: ‘The God of Abraham, and 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.”
And so he is not the God of the dead, but of the living. For all are alive to him.”
39 Ŵakwiganya malajisyo ŵampepe ŵanjanjile, “Jwakwiganya, elo njanjile isyene.”
Then some of the scribes, in response, said to him, “Teacher, you have spoken well.”
40 Ŵanyawo nganalinga kummusya sooni liusyo line.
And they no longer dared to question him about anything.
41 Che Yesu ŵausisye kuti, “Kwa chichi ŵandu akuti Kilisito Nkulupusyo ali wa uŵelesi u che Daudi?
But he said to them: “How can they say that the Christ is the son of David?
42 Che Daudi asyene akuŵecheta mmalembelo ga Sabuli, ‘Ambuje ŵaasalile Ambuje ŵangu, Ntame kundyo kwangu
Even 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 set your enemies as your footstool.’
44 Nipele iŵaga che Daudi akwaŵilanga Kilisito Nkulupusyo ‘Ambuje,’ iŵele uli sooni aŵe uŵelesi u che Daudi?”
Therefore, David calls him Lord. So how can he be his son?”
45 Ŵandu wose paŵaliji aninkwapilikanila Che Yesu, ŵelewo ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti,
Now in the hearing of all the people, he 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.
“Be cautious of the scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and who love greetings in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the first places at table during feasts,
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!”
who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayers. These will receive the greater damnation.”
