< Luke 20 >

1 Now it happened on one of those days, as He was teaching and evangelizing the people in the temple, that the priests and scribes came to Him with the elders
Lishaka limu Yesu kaweriti kankuwafunda wantu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na kuvibwera visoweru viwagira, watambika wakulu na wafunda wa Malagaliru, pamuhera na wazewi, wiziti
2 and addressed Him, saying, “Tell us by what authority you are doing these things; or who is he who gave you this authority?”
na wamgambira, “Gutugambiri, gutenda vintu vyoseri avi kwa uwezu wa gaa? Ndo gaa yakakupiti uwezu wa kutenda aga?”
3 But in answer He said to them: “I also will ask you one thing; yes, tell me:
Yesu kawankula, “Vinu naneni hanuwakosiyi. Mung'ambiri,
4 the baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?”
uwezu wa kubatiza wa Yohani Mbatiza ulawiti kumpindi ama ulawiti kwa wantu?”
5 So they reasoned among themselves, saying: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
Womberi wanjiti kuligambirana weni, “Hatulongi hashi? Patulonga, ‘Ulawiti kumpindi,’ yomberi hakatakuli, ‘Iwera hashi munjimira ndiri?’
6 But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
Kumbiti patulonga, ‘Ulawa kwa wantu,’ lipinga lyoseri lya wantu panu hawatugumi mabuhi, toziya woseri wavimaniti kuwera Yohani kaweriti mbuyi gwa Mlungu.”
7 So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
Su wamwankula, “Tuvimana ndiri uwezu wakuwi ulawiti koshi.”
8 And Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Yesu kawagambira, “Vira neni hapeni nuwagambirani ntenda vitwatira avi kwa uwezu wa gaa.”
9 Then He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it to farmers, and went away on a long journey.
Yesu kawagambiriti wantu mfanu agu, “Kweniti na muntu yakayaliti mizyabibu mulirambu, kawazimila wakulima na mweni kagenditi mwanja, kalikaliti kulii shipindi shivuwa.
10 At the proper time he sent a slave to the farmers, that they might give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers flogged him and sent him away empty-handed.
Shipindi sha kubenanga zyabibu shisokiti, kamtumiti mmanda kagendi kwa wakulima, kakatoli seemu ya mabenangu ga lirambu lya mizyabibu. Kumbiti wakulima wamkomanga ntumintumi ulii na wamuwuziya ukaya mawoku hera.
11 Again he sent a different slave; so they flogged him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
Su kamtumiti ntumintumi gwingi, kumbiti wakulima walii wamkoma kayi na kumtendera vidoda, na wamwuziya ukaya mawoku hera.
12 And again he sent a third; but they wounded him also and threw him out.
Kamtumiti ntumintumi gwa tatu, wakulima wamkoma mpaka kawera na vironda, shakapanu wamuwingawinga.
13 Then the owner of the vineyard said: ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; hopefully they will respect him when they see him.’
Mweni kana lirambu kalikosiya, ‘Hantendi hashi? Hanumtumi mwana gwangu yanumfira, neni wera na unakaka hawamupanani ligoya!’
14 But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying: ‘This is the heir. Come, let's kill him, so that the inheritance may become ours.’
Kumbiti wakulima walii pawamwoniti, wanja kuligambira, ‘Ayu ndo mhala gwakuwi. Tumlagi, uhala wakuwi hawuweri wa twenga!’
15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
Su wamlaviya kunja kulirambu, wamlaga.” Yesu kawakosiya, “Yakana lirambu ulii hakawatendi hashi wakulima walii?
16 He will come and destroy those farmers and give the vineyard to others.” Having heard it they said, “May it never be!”
Hakizi kuwalaga wakulima woseri, na hakawapanani wakulima wamonga lirambu lilii lya mizyabibu.” Wantu pawapikaniriti, watakula, “Iwezekana ndiri!”
17 Then He looked directly at them and said: “What then is this that is written: ‘A stone that the builders rejected, the same became the cornerstone’?
Yesu kawaloliti na kukosiya, “Su Malembu aga Mananagala gana mana gaa? ‘Libuwi lyawalilemiti wanyawa wa numba, vinu ligalambuka na liwera libuwi lyaliwera na mana nentu kuliku goseri.’
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it should fall—it will crush him!”
Muntu yoseri pakaguwa pampindi pa libuwi hakamegeki vipandi vipandi, na libuwi palimtulukira muntu yoseri, halimtendi.”
19 The chief priests and the scribes wanted to lay hands on Him right then, but they were afraid —they knew He had spoken this parable against them.
Wafunda wa Malagaliru na watambika wakulu wafiriti kumbata, toziya wavimaniti mfanu agu guweriti kankuwatakula womberi, kumbiti palii wawatiriti wantu.
20 Keeping a close watch on Him, they sent spies, who pretended to be innocent, so that they might latch on to something He said, so as to hand Him over to the power and the authority of the governor.
Su waweriti wankusakula shipindi shifaa. Wawapanani wantu wamu mpiya walitendi waheri, su wawatuma wagendi kumjera Yesu kwa kumkosiya, su wawezi kumbata na kumjega kwa wakulu wa serikali ya Rumi.
21 So they questioned Him, saying: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and you do not show favoritism but teach the way of God in truth.
Walolalo walii wamgambira Yesu, “mfunda, tuvimana ntambu yagutakula na kufunda vitwatira vya nakaka. Tuvimana gwenga gwahera ubagula kwa muntu yoseri ulii, kumbiti gwenga gufunda unakaka wa vintu vyakafira Mlungu.
22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
Gutugambiri, handa vya halali ama vyahalali ndiri kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari!”
23 But He perceived their craftiness and said to them: “Why are you testing me?
Kumbiti Yesu kavimaniti shawafira na kawagambira,
24 Show me a denarius—whose image and inscription does it have?” In answer they said, “Caesar's.”
“Mnanguziyi mpiya. Sheni sha mumpiya sha gaa na malembu yagalembwa mumpiya?” Wamwankula, “vya Kaisari.”
25 So He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”
Su Yesu kawagambira, “Su vya Kaisari mpanani Kaisari na vya Mlungu mpanani Mlungu.”
26 They were unable to latch on to His word in front of the people; and marveling at His answer they kept silent.
Waweza ndiri kumbata kwa shisoweru shoseri palii palongolu pa wantu, su wanyamaliti, pawalikangasha ntambu yakawankuliti.
27 Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, approached and questioned Him,
Shakapanu Masadukayu wamu, yawalongaga wantu yawahowa hapeni wazyuki, wamwiziriti Yesu na kulonga,
28 saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's married brother dies childless, then his brother should take the widow and produce offspring for his brother.
“mfunda, Musa katulembiriti Lilagaliru ali, ‘Muntu pakahowa na kumleka mdala yakahera mwana, mpaka mlongu gwakuwi kamtoli mkenja ulii su kamleleri wana mlongu gwakuwi yakahowiti.’
29 Now there were seven brothers: the first took a wife and died childless;
Vinu kuweriti na walongu saba. Mkulu yakalongoleriti kumyuga kahowa pakaleka ndiri mwana.
30 then the second took the widow and he died childless;
Mlongu gwa pili kamuyuga mdala mkenja ulii,
31 then the third took her, in fact all seven in sequence—they all died childless.
na mlongu gwa tatu ntambu ira, vitwatira viweriti vira virii kwa woseri saba, wahowiti pawaleka ndiri wana.
32 Finally, last of all, the woman died also.
Upeleru wakuwi na mdala mkenja ulii kahowiti vira.
33 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be, since all seven had her?”
Vinu mulishaka lya wahowiti kuzyuka, mdala ulii hakaweri gwa gaa? Toziya woseri saba wamuyugiti.”
34 So in answer Jesus said to them: “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
Yesu kawankula, “Mushipindi ashi wapalu wayuga wadala, (aiōn g165)
35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age, to the resurrection from among the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
kumbiti wapalu na wadala weni Mlungu hakawatangi kuwera mushipindi sha kuzyuka, hapeni wapalu wayugi wala wadala kuyugwa. (aiōn g165)
36 Because they cannot die anymore, being like angels—they are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
Hawaweri gambira wantumintumi wa kumpindi na hapeni wahowi. Womberi ndo wana wa Mlungu, toziya wazyuka kulawa kwa wahowiti.
37 But that the dead are raised, Moses indeed revealed about the Bush when he recorded: ‘The Lord, the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.’
Kumbiti Musa kalanguziyiti weri kuwera yawahowiti hawazyuki. Mumalembu Mananagala galembitwi shakatakuliti Mtuwa ndo Mlungu gwa Aburahamu, na Mlungu gwa Isaka, na Mlungu gwa Yakobu.
38 So He is not the God of the dead, but of the living—to Him all are alive.”
Mlungu ndo gwa yawawera wakomu, na Mlungu ndiri gwa wahowiti, kwakuwi woseri walikala.”
39 Then some of the scribes answered and said, “Teacher, you spoke well.”
Wafunda wamu wa Malagaliru watakula, “mfunda guwankula weri!”
40 And they no longer dared to question Him further.
Watakuliti hangu toziya wasinditi kumkosiya kayi makosiwu gamonga.
41 Then He said to them: “How is it that they say that the Messiah is David's Son?
Yesu kawakosiya, “Watakula hashi kulonga Kristu kawera mwana gwa Dawudi?
42 Why David himself affirms in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord: sit at my right hand
Mweni Dawudi kalemba kala mushintola sha Zaburi, ‘Mtuwa kamgambiriti Mtuwa gwangu, Gwikali kumliwu kwaneni
43 until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’
Mpaka nuwatuli wangondu waku kuwera shiti sha kutulila magulu gaku.’
44 Since David calls Him ‘Lord’, how then is He his Son?”
Dawudi kamshemiti yomberi, ‘Mtuwa.’ Hayiweri hashi Mesiya kaweri mwana gwa Dawudi?”
45 Then, in the hearing of the people, He said to His disciples:
Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi kulongolu kwa wantu woseri,
46 “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, and the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
“Muliloleri weri kuusu wafunda wa Malagaliru, weni wafira kugendagenda pawavalira lihabiti na wafira kulamsiwa kwa ligoya pahala pa masoku, weni wasyagula kulivaga pahala pa ligoya munumba zya Mlungu, na pahala paherepa mumsambu,
47 who ‘devour’ widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers. These will receive more severe judgment.”
Wawagambira wakenja mpayu na kuwapoka numba zyawu na pawaluwa Mlungu luwi ntali! Azabu yawu hayiweri nkulu nentu!”
