Luke 20
1 And it came to pass, that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together,
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe akĩruta andũ kũu hekarũ-inĩ na akĩhunjagia Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega-rĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene, na arutani a watho, hamwe na athuuri magĩũka kũrĩ we.
2 And spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? or, Who is he that hath given thee this authority?
Makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Twĩre wĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ. Nũũ wakũheire ũhoti ũcio?”
3 And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing. Answer me:
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ nĩngũmũũria kĩũria.
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
Ta njĩĩrai, ũbatithio wa Johana-rĩ, woimĩte igũrũ kana woimire kũrĩ andũ?”
5 But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe him?
Makĩaranĩria o ene ũhoro ũcio, makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Tũngiuga atĩ ‘Woimĩte igũrũ’ egũtũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Mwakĩregire kũmwĩtĩkia nĩkĩ?’
6 But if we say, Of men, the whole people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
Ningĩ tuoiga atĩ ‘Woimĩte kũrĩ andũ’, andũ othe nĩmegũtũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto, nĩ ũndũ nĩmetĩkĩtie atĩ Johana aarĩ mũnabii.”
7 And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩcookeria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtiũĩ woimĩte kũ.”
8 And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell thee by what authority I do these things.
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ ndikũmwĩra njĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ.”
9 And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad for a long time.
Agĩcooka akĩhe andũ ũhoro na ngerekano akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũmwe nĩahaandire mũgũnda wake mĩthabibũ, na akĩũkomborithia arĩmi angĩ, agĩcooka agĩthiĩ kũndũ kũraya na agĩikara kuo ihinda iraaya.
10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him away empty.
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ya magetha yakinya-rĩ, agĩtũma ndungata yake kũrĩ akombori acio nĩgeetha mamĩnengere maciaro mamwe ma mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ. No akombori acio makĩmĩhũũra na makĩmĩingata ĩtarĩ na kĩndũ.
11 And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also, and treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty.
Agĩcooka agĩtũma ndungata ĩngĩ, ĩyo o nayo makĩmĩhũũra makĩmĩconorithia na makĩmĩingata ĩtarĩ na kĩndũ.
12 And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
O rĩngĩ agĩtũma ndungata ya gatatũ, nao makĩmĩtiihangia na makĩmĩingata.
13 Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be, when they see him, they will reverence him.
“Nake mwene mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ akĩĩyũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ngwĩka atĩa? Ngũtũma mũrũ wakwa, ũrĩa nyendete; hihi mahota kũmũhe gĩtĩĩo’.
14 Whom when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
“No rĩrĩa akombori acio maamuonire, makĩarĩrĩria ũhoro ũcio. Makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩwe ũkaagaya mũgũnda ũyũ. Nĩtũmũũragei nĩguo igai rĩake rĩtuĩke riitũ.’
15 So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũruta nja ya mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ, makĩmũũraga. “Rĩu-rĩ, mwene mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ-rĩ, akaameka atĩa?
16 He will come, and will destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid.
Agooka oorage akombori acio, acooke ahe andũ angĩ mũgũnda ũcio.” Rĩrĩa andũ maiguire ũguo, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo!”
17 But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
Jesũ akĩmarora, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Maandĩko marĩa mandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “‘Ihiga rĩrĩa aaki maaregire, nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga inene rĩa koine’, ũguo nĩ kuuga atĩa?
18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be bruised: and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũkaagwĩra ihiga rĩu, nĩrĩkamuunanga, no ũrĩa rĩkaagwĩra nĩrĩkamũhehenja.”
19 And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them.
Arutani a watho na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene magĩcaria ũrĩa mangĩmũnyiitithia o na ihenya tondũ nĩmamenyire aaheanire ngerekano ĩyo akĩaria ũhoro wao. No nĩmetigagĩra andũ.
20 And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor.
O makĩmũtuĩragia-rĩ, makĩmũtũmĩra andũ a kũmũthigaana metuĩte andũ ega. Nao magĩthiĩ nĩgeetha mamũnyiite akiuga ũndũ mũũru, nĩguo mamũneane moko-inĩ ma wathani wa barũthi.
21 And they asked him, saying: Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest the way of God in truth.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio athigaani acio makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩtũũĩ wee waragia na ũkarutana maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire, na atĩ ndũtĩagĩra andũ maũthĩ, no wee ũrutanaga ũhoro wa Ngai na ma, ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?
Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩtwagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũrutĩra Kaisari igooti kana ca?”
23 But he considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me?
Nowe Jesũ akĩona ũhinga ũrĩa maarĩ naguo akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said to him, Caesar’s.
“Ta nyoniai mbeeca cianyu. Mbica ĩno na rĩĩtwa rĩĩrĩ nĩ cia ũ?”
25 And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s: and to God the things that are God’s.
Makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ cia Kaisari.” Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kĩrutagĩrei Kaisari kĩrĩa kĩrĩ gĩake, na mũrutagĩre Ngai kĩrĩa kĩrĩ gĩake.”
26 And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace.
Nao makĩaga ũndũ wa kũmũnyiita naguo harĩ maũndũ marĩa aaririe arĩ mbere ya andũ. Na tondũ wa ũrĩa maagegirio nĩ ũrĩa aamacookeirie ũhoro-rĩ, magĩkira ki.
27 And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked him,
Na rĩrĩ, andũ amwe a Asadukai, arĩa moigaga atĩ gũtirĩ ũhoro wa kũriũka, magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ,
28 Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
“Mũrutani, Musa aatwandĩkĩire atĩ mũrũ wa nyina na mũndũ angĩkua atige mũtumia atarĩ na ciana-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio no nginya ahikie mũtumia ũcio watigwo nĩguo aciarĩre mũrũ wa nyina ciana.
29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
Na rĩrĩ, kwarĩ aanake mũgwanja a nyina ũmwe. Wa mbere akĩhikania na agĩkua, agĩtiga mũtumia atarĩ na ciana.
30 And the next took her to wife, and he also died childless.
Nake wa keerĩ,
31 And the third took her. And in like manner all the seven, and they left no children, and died.
na wa gatatũ makĩmũhikia, na makĩrũmanĩrĩra ũguo nginya wa mũgwanja; othe magĩkua, makĩmũtiga atarĩ na ciana.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ, mũtumia ũcio o nake agĩkua.
33 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife.
Rĩu-rĩ, hĩndĩ ya kũriũka agaakorwo arĩ mũtumia wa ũ harĩ acio mũgwanja, nĩgũkorwo othe nĩmamũhikĩtie?”
Jesũ akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Andũ a ihinda rĩĩrĩ nĩo mahikaga na makahikania. (aiōn g165)
35 But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, shall neither be married, nor take wives. (aiōn g165)
No rĩrĩ, arĩa magaatuuo aagĩrĩru a gũkinya ihinda rĩu o na gũkinyanĩrio ihinda rĩa kũriũka kwa arĩa akuũ-rĩ, acio matikahikanagia o na kana mahikanagie. (aiōn g165)
36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
Andũ acio matigacooka gũkua; nĩgũkorwo makahaana ta araika. Andũ acio magakorwo marĩ ciana cia Ngai, nĩgũkorwo nĩ ciana cia ũhoro ũcio wa kũriũka.
37 Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed, at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
Naguo ũhoro wa atĩ andũ arĩa akuũ nĩmariũkagio-rĩ, Musa o nake nĩawonanirie harĩa haarĩ kĩhinga kĩrĩa gĩakanaga mwaki na gĩtihĩe, rĩrĩa eetire Mwathani ‘Ngai wa Iburahĩmu, na Ngai wa Isaaka, na Ngai wa Jakubu.’
38 For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
We ti Ngai wa arĩa akuũ, no nĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo, nĩgũkorwo harĩ we andũ othe arĩa marĩ muoyo matũũragio nĩwe.”
39 And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well.
Nao andũ amwe a arutani a watho makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩwoiga wega!”
40 And after that they durst not ask him any more questions.
Na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wageririe kũmũũria ciũria ingĩ.
41 But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David?
Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Andũ moigaga Kristũ nĩ mũriũ wa Daudi nĩ ũndũ wa kĩĩ?
42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
Daudi we mwene nĩoigĩte ibuku-inĩ rĩa Thaburi atĩrĩ: “‘Mwathani nĩerire Mwathani wakwa atĩrĩ: “Ikara guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo,
43 Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
nginya ngaatũma thũ ciaku ituĩke gaturwa ka makinya maku.”’
44 David then calleth him Lord: and how is he his son?
Atĩrĩrĩ, Daudi aamwĩtire ‘Mwathani’. Angĩgĩcooka gũtuĩka mũriũ wake atĩa?”
45 And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
O andũ acio othe mathikĩrĩirie, Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ,
46 Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts:
“Mwĩmenyererei arutani a watho. O mendaga gũthiĩ mehumbĩte nguo ndaaya, na makenda kũgeithagio ndũnyũ-inĩ, na gũikaragĩra itĩ iria cia bata thunagogi-inĩ, o na gũikara handũ ha andũ arĩa atĩĩku maruga-inĩ.
47 Who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation.
No nĩo matoonyagĩrĩra atumia a ndigwa makamatunya nyũmba ciao, na nĩguo meyonanie, makahooya mahooya maraihu. Andũ ta acio nĩmakaherithio mũno makĩria.”
