Luke 20
1 On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
Lumbu kimosi Yesu bu kaba longa batu mu nzo Nzambi, wuba kuba samunina Nsamu Wumbote; zimbukila bapfumu banganga Nzambi, minlongi mi mina ayi bakulutu ba batu bayiza,
2 They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
banyuvula: —Wutukamba mu lulendo mbi wulembu vangila mambu momo? Voti nani wuvana lulendo beni e?
3 He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
Yesu mamvandi wuba kamba: —Minu mamvama kiuvu kimosi kidi yama mu kuluyuvula.
4 the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
Bika lukhamba: mbotokolo yi Yowani, ku diyilu yiba voti kuidi batu e?
5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did not you believe him?’
Buna beka lembu kayindulanga mu bawu veka. Buna baniunguta: enati tutubidi ti: “Ku diyilu” buna maka tuyuvula “vayi bila mbi lusia kunwilukila ko e?”
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
Vayi enati tutubidi ti “kuidi batu” buna batu boso maba tuvondila mu matadi bila batu boso bazebi ti Yowani wuba mbikudi.
7 They answered that they did not know where it was from.
Buna bavutula ti basi zaba ko kuevi kaba.
8 Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Buna Yesu wuba vutudila: —Minu mamvama, ndilendi kulukamba ko kani mu lulendo lu nani ndilembu vangila mambu mama.
9 He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.
Bosi wukamba batu nongi yayi: —Mutu wumosi wukuna ndima yi vinu; wuyekudila yawu minkuni muingi mimvananga ndambu yi mimbutu mu kadika mvu ayi wuyenda mu nzietolo mu mimvu miwombo.
10 At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.
Mu thangu yimvelungu makundi ma vinu, wutuma kisadi kiandikimosi kuidi minkuni bi ndima muingi mimvana ndambu yi mimbutu mi vinu vayi minkuni mi ndima mintuta khuba ayi mimvutula mioko yi mioko.
11 He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
Wubuela fidisa diaka kisadi kinkaka. Mamvandi wututu khuba, wufingu ayi mimvutula mioko yi mioko.
12 He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
Pfumu yi ndima wubuela fidisa diaka kisadi kintatu vayi minkuni mi ndima minlueka ayi minloza ku nganda yi ndima.
13 The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
Buna pfumu yi ndima wutuba: A mbi ndieka vanga e? Ndieka fidisamuanꞌama wu luzolo; mananga bela kummona lukinzu bu bela kummona.
14 “But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
Vayi minkuni mi ndima bu mimmona, mitubana bawu na bawu: “Tala mutu wela vinginina ndima, bika tumvonda muingi ndima beniyikituka yeto veka!”
15 Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
Buna minkoka ku nganda yi ndima ayi mimvonda! Buna pfumu yi ndima mbi kela vangila minkuni mi ndima e?
16 He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
Buna wela kuiz, wela vondisa minkuni mi ndima ayi wela yekudila ndima beni kuidi minkuni minkaka. Batu bobo bawa, bamvutudila: —Bulendi baka bu bela ko.
17 But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
Vayi niandi wuba tala ayi wuba kamba: —Buna masonuku mama mbi mansundula: Ditadi diloza mintungi dikituka ditadi di mfunu diodi didi va fuma ki nzo
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
woso wela bua va yilu ditadi beni wela keluka tsingu ayi woso mutu ditadi beni diela builu wela kosakana.
19 The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.
Bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi ayi minlongi mi mina batomba mu thangu yina kaka, mu kunkanga vayi bamona batu tsisi bila basudika kuawu ti bawukavekula bu katuba nongo yoyi.
20 They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
Buna batona kumfiela; diawu bamfidisila batu mu diambu bamfiela. Batu beni baba kukimonikisanga batu basonga mu diambu bambuidila mu moso kuandi mambu kakuiza tubi muingi banyekula mu mioko mi zuzi ayi mu luyalu lu nyadi.
21 They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and are not partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
Buna batubeni banyuvula: —A Nlongi, tuzebi ti ngeyo weta tubila mu busonga ayi weta longila mu busonga. Ngeyo wutalanga bizizi bi batu ko vayi weta longila mu bukiedika nzila yi Nzambi.
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
A buevi, minsua midi yetu mu futa phaku kuidi Sezali voti tuisi ko minsua e?
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
Bu kabakula mayuya mawu, buna wuba kamba:
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
—Mbonisanu sengo kimosi ki denali! Mfikula yayi yi nani ayi bisono biabi binani e? Bamvutudila ti bi Sezali.
25 He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Buna wuba kamba ti: —Bika luvana bi Sezali kuidi Sezali bosi bi Nzambi kuidi Nzambi.
26 They were not able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
Basia nunga ko kumbuidila mu mambu makatuba va meso ma batu. Basimina bu bawa mvutu andi ayi basia baka diaka diambu di tuba ko.
27 Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
Ndambu Basaduki, batu bobo kaba kikininanga ko ti batu beti fuluka, bafikama ayi banyuvula kiuvu:
28 They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
—A nlongi, Moyize wutusonikina ti: enati mutu fuidi vayi kasia bika muana ko, buna khombꞌandi yi bakala kafueti vinginina nketo wowo kabikidi muingi kabutila khombꞌandi bana.
29 There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
Vayi vaba tsambudidi bakhomba zi babakala. Wutheti wukuela, wufuamu kambu bika muana,
30 The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
wummuadi, ayi wowo wuntatu bankuela. Buawu bobo buvangimina mu bawu boso,
31 The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
bawu tsambudi bafua mu kambu bika bana.
32 Afterward the woman also died.
Ku nzimunina bawu boso nketo beni mamvandi wufua.
33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
Mu thangu yi mfulukulu, wela ba nketo wu nani bila wuba nketo wu tsambudi di bakhomba ziozo e?
Yesu wuba vutudila: —Bana ba ntoto wawu balembo kuedi ayi balembo kuedisa (aiōn g165)
35 But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age (aiōn g165) and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage.
vayi bobo bela monika ti bafueni mu tula mu thangu yinkuiza ayi mu fuluka mu bafua balendi buela kuela ko ayi balendi buela kuedusu ko. (aiōn g165)
36 For they cannot die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
Bila balendi buela fua ko bila beka banga zimbasi ayi beka banaba Nzambi, bana ba mfulukulu.
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
Moyize wutelama kimbangi ti bafua bela fuluka mu nzila yi finti fiba lema. Bila kuna katedila Pfumu ti: Nzambi yi Abalahami, Nzambi yi Izaki, Nzambi yi Yakobi.
38 Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
Vayi niandi kasi Nzambi yi bafua ko vayi Nzambi yi batu banzinga. Bila kuidi niandi, bawu boso balembu zingi.
39 Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
Buna ndambu minlongi mi mina mitaba: —A nlongi, vutudi bumbote.
40 They did not dare to ask him any more questions.
Basia buela kunyuvula kadi diambu dimosi ko.
41 He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
Buna Yesu wuba yuvula: —A buevi beta tubila ti Klisto widi muana wu Davidi e?
42 David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
Bila niandi veka Davidi wutuba mu minkunga: Pfumu wukamba kuidi Pfumu ama: Vuanda va koko kuama ku lubakala
43 until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
nate ndimanisa tula bambeni ziaku banga tetuku kiaku ki malu maku.
44 “David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
Davidi wunkuntedila Pfumu, buna buevi kalenda buela bela muanꞌandi e?
45 In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
Sumbu batu boso bawa, buna wukamba minlonguki miandi:
46 “Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
—Lulubukila minlongi mi mina mimmonanga khini mu diatilanga mu mazuela ma mula ayi minzolanga baba vaninanga zimbote mu mazandu, minzolanga vuandanga mu bibuangu binzitusu mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu ayi mu minyengo.
47 who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
Minlongi beni mi mina minyibanga mu zinzo zi mafuola ayi mieta vunikisa sambila zitsambulu zi mula. Bawu bela baka thumbudulu yi lutidi ngolo.
