Luke 20
1 On one of these days, when Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple Courts and telling the Good News, the Chief Priests and the Teachers of the Law, joined by the Councillors, confronted him,
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 addressing him, said: “Tell us what authority you have to do these things. Who is it that has given you this authority?”
na wamgambira, “Gutugambiri, gutenda vintu vyoseri avi kwa uwezu wa gaa? Ndo gaa yakakupiti uwezu wa kutenda aga?”
3 “I, too,” said Jesus in reply, “will ask you one question. Give me an answer to it.
Yesu kawankula, “Vinu naneni hanuwakosiyi. Mung'ambiri,
4 It is about John’s baptism — was it of divine or of human origin?”
uwezu wa kubatiza wa Yohani Mbatiza ulawiti kumpindi ama ulawiti kwa wantu?”
5 But they began arguing together: “If we say ‘divine,’ he will say ‘Why did not you believe him?’
Womberi wanjiti kuligambirana weni, “Hatulongi hashi? Patulonga, ‘Ulawiti kumpindi,’ yomberi hakatakuli, ‘Iwera hashi munjimira ndiri?’
6 But, if we say ‘human,’ the people will all 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 its origin.
Su wamwankula, “Tuvimana ndiri uwezu wakuwi ulawiti koshi.”
8 “Then I,” said Jesus, “refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.”
Yesu kawagambira, “Vira neni hapeni nuwagambirani ntenda vitwatira avi kwa uwezu wa gaa.”
9 But Jesus began to tell the people this parable — “A man once planted a vineyard, and then let it out to tenants, and went abroad for a long while.
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 servant to the tenants, that they should give him a share of the produce of the vineyard. The tenants, however, beat 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 The owner afterwards sent another servant; but the tenants beat and insulted this man too, and sent him away empty-handed.
Su kamtumiti ntumintumi gwingi, kumbiti wakulima walii wamkoma kayi na kumtendera vidoda, na wamwuziya ukaya mawoku hera.
12 He sent a third; but they wounded this man also, and threw him outside.
Kamtumiti ntumintumi gwa tatu, wakulima wamkoma mpaka kawera na vironda, shakapanu wamuwingawinga.
13 ‘What shall I do?’ said the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my son, who is very dear to me. Perhaps they will respect him.’
Mweni kana lirambu kalikosiya, ‘Hantendi hashi? Hanumtumi mwana gwangu yanumfira, neni wera na unakaka hawamupanani ligoya!’
14 But, on seeing him, the tenants consulted with one another. ‘Here is the heir!’ they said. ‘Let us kill him, and then the inheritance will become ours.’
Kumbiti wakulima walii pawamwoniti, wanja kuligambira, ‘Ayu ndo mhala gwakuwi. Tumlagi, uhala wakuwi hawuweri wa twenga!’
15 So they threw him outside the vineyard and killed him. Now what 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 put those tenants to death, and will let the vineyard to others.” “Heaven forbid!” they exclaimed when they heard it.
Hakizi kuwalaga wakulima woseri, na hakawapanani wakulima wamonga lirambu lilii lya mizyabibu.” Wantu pawapikaniriti, watakula, “Iwezekana ndiri!”
17 But Jesus looked at them and said: “What then is the meaning of this passage? — ‘The very stone which the builders despised has now itself become the corner-stone.’
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 Every one who falls on that stone will be dashed to pieces, while any one on whom it falls — it will scatter him as dust.”
Muntu yoseri pakaguwa pampindi pa libuwi hakamegeki vipandi vipandi, na libuwi palimtulukira muntu yoseri, halimtendi.”
19 After this the Teachers of the Law and the Chief Priest were eager to lay hands on Jesus then and there, but they were afraid of the people; for they saw that it was at them that he had aimed this parable.
Wafunda wa Malagaliru na watambika wakulu wafiriti kumbata, toziya wavimaniti mfanu agu guweriti kankuwatakula womberi, kumbiti palii wawatiriti wantu.
20 Having watched their opportunity, they afterwards sent some spies, who pretended to be good men, to catch Jesus in the course of conversation, and so enable them to give him up to the Governor’s jurisdiction and authority.
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 These men asked Jesus a question. They said: “Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you do not take any account of a man’s position, but teach the Way of God honestly;
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 are we right in paying tribute to the Emperor or not?”
Gutugambiri, handa vya halali ama vyahalali ndiri kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari!”
23 Seeing through their deceitfulness, Jesus said to them:
Kumbiti Yesu kavimaniti shawafira na kawagambira,
24 “Show me a florin. Whose head and title are on it?”
“Mnanguziyi mpiya. Sheni sha mumpiya sha gaa na malembu yagalembwa mumpiya?” Wamwankula, “vya Kaisari.”
25 “The Emperor’s,” they said; and Jesus replied: “Well then, pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.”
Su Yesu kawagambira, “Su vya Kaisari mpanani Kaisari na vya Mlungu mpanani Mlungu.”
26 They could not lay hold of this answer before the people; and, in their wonder at his reply, they held their tongues.
Waweza ndiri kumbata kwa shisoweru shoseri palii palongolu pa wantu, su wanyamaliti, pawalikangasha ntambu yakawankuliti.
27 Presently there came up some Sadducees, who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this —
Shakapanu Masadukayu wamu, yawalongaga wantu yawahowa hapeni wazyuki, wamwiziriti Yesu na kulonga,
28 “Teacher, Moses laid down for us in his writings that — ‘Should a man’s married brother die, and should he be childless, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family 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 Well, there were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest, after taking a wife, died childless.
Vinu kuweriti na walongu saba. Mkulu yakalongoleriti kumyuga kahowa pakaleka ndiri mwana.
30 The second and third brothers both took her as their wife;
Mlongu gwa pili kamuyuga mdala mkenja ulii,
31 and so, too, did all seven — dying without children.
na mlongu gwa tatu ntambu ira, vitwatira viweriti vira virii kwa woseri saba, wahowiti pawaleka ndiri wana.
32 The woman herself was the last to die.
Upeleru wakuwi na mdala mkenja ulii kahowiti vira.
33 About the woman, then — at the resurrection, whose wife is she to be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”
Vinu mulishaka lya wahowiti kuzyuka, mdala ulii hakaweri gwa gaa? Toziya woseri saba wamuyugiti.”
Yesu kawankula, “Mushipindi ashi wapalu wayuga wadala, (aiōn g165)
35 but, for those who are thought worthy to attain to that other world and the resurrection from the dead, there is no marrying or being married, (aiōn g165)
kumbiti wapalu na wadala weni Mlungu hakawatangi kuwera mushipindi sha kuzyuka, hapeni wapalu wayugi wala wadala kuyugwa. (aiōn g165)
36 nor indeed can they die again, for they are like angels and, having shared in the resurrection, they are God’s Sons.
Hawaweri gambira wantumintumi wa kumpindi na hapeni wahowi. Womberi ndo wana wa Mlungu, toziya wazyuka kulawa kwa wahowiti.
37 As to the fact that the dead rise, even Moses indicated that, in the passage about the Bush, when he calls 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 Now he is not God of dead men, but of living. For in his sight all are alive.”
Mlungu ndo gwa yawawera wakomu, na Mlungu ndiri gwa wahowiti, kwakuwi woseri walikala.”
39 “Well said, Teacher!” exclaimed some of the Teachers of the Law,
Wafunda wamu wa Malagaliru watakula, “mfunda guwankula weri!”
40 for they did not venture to question him any further.
Watakuliti hangu toziya wasinditi kumkosiya kayi makosiwu gamonga.
41 But Jesus said to them: “How is it that people say that the Christ is to be David’s son?
Yesu kawakosiya, “Watakula hashi kulonga Kristu kawera mwana gwa Dawudi?
42 For David, in the Book of Psalms, says himself — ‘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 put thy enemies as a stool for thy feet.”’
Mpaka nuwatuli wangondu waku kuwera shiti sha kutulila magulu gaku.’
44 David, then, calls him ‘lord,’ so how is he David’s son?”
Dawudi kamshemiti yomberi, ‘Mtuwa.’ Hayiweri hashi Mesiya kaweri mwana gwa Dawudi?”
45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to the disciples:
Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi kulongolu kwa wantu woseri,
46 “Be on your guard against the Teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and like to be greeted in the streets with respect, and to have the best seats in the Synagogues, and places of honour at dinner.
“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 These are the men who rob widows of their houses, and make a pretence of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier.”
Wawagambira wakenja mpayu na kuwapoka numba zyawu na pawaluwa Mlungu luwi ntali! Azabu yawu hayiweri nkulu nentu!”
