Luke 20
1 One day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and preaching the gospel, the priests and the scribes came with the elders
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 said to him, “Tell us, by what authority are yoʋ doing these things, or who is it that gave yoʋ this authority?”
Makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Twĩre wĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ. Nũũ wakũheire ũhoti ũcio?”
3 He answered them, “I will also ask you one question. Tell me:
Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ nĩngũmũũria kĩũria.
4 Did John's authority to baptize come from heaven or from men?”
Ta njĩĩrai, ũbatithio wa Johana-rĩ, woimĩte igũrũ kana woimire kũrĩ andũ?”
5 So they discussed it among themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why 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, ‘From men,’ all the 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 So they answered that they did not know where it came from.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩcookeria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtiũĩ woimĩte kũ.”
8 Then Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ ndikũmwĩra njĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ.”
9 Then he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it to farmers, and left the country 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 At harvest time he sent a servant to the farmers so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat that servant and sent him away empty-handed.
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 So he proceeded to send another servant, but they beat him also, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
Agĩcooka agĩtũma ndungata ĩngĩ, ĩyo o nayo makĩmĩhũũra makĩmĩconorithia na makĩmĩingata ĩtarĩ na kĩndũ.
12 Then he proceeded to send a third, but they wounded him as well and threw him out.
O rĩngĩ agĩtũma ndungata ya gatatũ, nao makĩmĩtiihangia na makĩmĩingata.
13 So the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps when they see him they will have respect for him.’
“Nake mwene mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ akĩĩyũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ngwĩka atĩa? Ngũtũma mũrũ wakwa, ũrĩa nyendete; hihi mahota kũmũhe gĩtĩĩo’.
14 But when they saw him, the farmers discussed it among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him so that the inheritance will 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 they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner 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 destroy those farmers and give the vineyard to others.” When the people heard this, they said, “Certainly not!”
Agooka oorage akombori acio, acooke ahe andũ angĩ mũgũnda ũcio.” Rĩrĩa andũ maiguire ũguo, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo!”
17 But Jesus looked at them and said, “What then is the meaning of this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
Jesũ akĩmarora, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Maandĩko marĩa mandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “‘Ihiga rĩrĩa aaki maaregire, nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga inene rĩa koine’, ũguo nĩ kuuga atĩa?
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but anyone on whom it falls will be crushed.”
Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũkaagwĩra ihiga rĩu, nĩrĩkamuunanga, no ũrĩa rĩkaagwĩra nĩrĩkamũhehenja.”
19 Then the chief priests and the scribes wanted to arrest him at that very hour, for they knew he had spoken this parable against them, but they were afraid.
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 So they watched him and sent spies who pretended to be sincere in order to catch him in something he said, so that they could deliver him up to the jurisdiction and authority 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 The spies asked him, “Teacher, we know that yoʋ speak and teach correctly, and that yoʋ do not show partiality but teach 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 pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩtwagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũrutĩra Kaisari igooti kana ca?”
23 But perceiving their craftiness, Jesus said to them, “Why are you testing me?
Nowe Jesũ akĩona ũhinga ũrĩa maarĩ naguo akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
24 Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” They answered, “Caesar's.”
“Ta nyoniai mbeeca cianyu. Mbica ĩno na rĩĩtwa rĩĩrĩ nĩ cia ũ?”
25 He said to them, “Then render 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 So they were not able to catch him in what he said in the presence of the people. And being amazed at his answer, they fell silent.
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 Now some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came up and asked Jesus,
Na rĩrĩ, andũ amwe a Asadukai, arĩa moigaga atĩ gũtirĩ ũhoro wa kũriũka, magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ,
28 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us: ‘If a man's brother dies, leaving a wife but no children, that man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for 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 Now there were seven brothers. The first married a woman and died childless.
Na rĩrĩ, kwarĩ aanake mũgwanja a nyina ũmwe. Wa mbere akĩhikania na agĩkua, agĩtiga mũtumia atarĩ na ciana.
30 The second married the widow, and he also died childless.
Nake wa keerĩ,
31 Likewise, the third also married her. In the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
na wa gatatũ makĩmũhikia, na makĩrũmanĩrĩra ũguo nginya wa mũgwanja; othe magĩkua, makĩmũtiga atarĩ na ciana.
32 Last of all, the woman also died.
Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ, mũtumia ũcio o nake agĩkua.
33 In the resurrection, therefore, which of them will she be the wife of? For the seven all had her as a 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 those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are they given in marriage. (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 Indeed they can no longer die, for they are like angels. They are sons of God, since they are sons 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 But even Moses indicated that the dead are raised, when he said in the passage about the burning bush, ‘The Lord, the God of Abraham, 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 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”
We ti Ngai wa arĩa akuũ, no nĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo, nĩgũkorwo harĩ we andũ othe arĩa marĩ muoyo matũũragio nĩwe.”
39 Then some of the scribes responded, “Teacher, yoʋ have spoken well.”
Nao andũ amwe a arutani a watho makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩwoiga wega!”
40 And they no longer dared to ask him anything.
Na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wageririe kũmũũria ciũria ingĩ.
41 Then Jesus said to them, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Andũ moigaga Kristũ nĩ mũriũ wa Daudi nĩ ũndũ wa kĩĩ?
42 Even David himself says in the Book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand
Daudi we mwene nĩoigĩte ibuku-inĩ rĩa Thaburi atĩrĩ: “‘Mwathani nĩerire Mwathani wakwa atĩrĩ: “Ikara guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo,
43 until I make yoʋr enemies a footstool for yoʋr feet.”’
nginya ngaatũma thũ ciaku ituĩke gaturwa ka makinya maku.”’
44 David calls him ‘Lord,’ so how is he his son?”
Atĩrĩrĩ, Daudi aamwĩtire ‘Mwathani’. Angĩgĩcooka gũtuĩka mũriũ wake atĩa?”
45 As all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,
O andũ acio othe mathikĩrĩirie, Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ,
46 “Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have the best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
“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 They devour widows' houses and for a pretense make long prayers. They will receive a more severe judgment.”
No nĩo matoonyagĩrĩra atumia a ndigwa makamatunya nyũmba ciao, na nĩguo meyonanie, makahooya mahooya maraihu. Andũ ta acio nĩmakaherithio mũno makĩria.”
