< Luke 20 >

1 And it came to pass, [that] on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon [him], with the elders,
Awo Yesu bwe yali ng’ayigiriza era ng’abuulira Enjiri mu luggya lwa Yeekaalu, bakabona abakulu, n’abannyonnyozi b’amateeka n’abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne bajja gy’ali.
2 And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
Ne bamubuuza nti, “Tubuulire, buyinza ki obukukozesa bino? Era ani eyakuwa obuyinza obwo?”
3 And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Nange ka mbabuuze ekibuuzo kino.
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
Okubatiza kwa Yokaana kwava eri Katonda nandiki kwava mu bantu?”
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
Ne basooka okwogeraganyaamu bokka ne bokka nga bagamba nti, “Bwe tunaagamba nti, ‘Kwava mu ggulu,’ ajja kutubuuza nti, ‘Kale, lwaki temwamukkiriza?’
6 But if we say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
Naye ate bwe tunaddamu nti, ‘Kwava mu bantu,’ abantu bonna bajja kutukuba amayinja, kubanga bamatizibwa nti Yokaana yali nnabbi.”
7 And they answered, that they could not tell whence [it was].
Kyebaava baddamu nti, “Tetumanyi gye kwava.”
8 And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nange sijja kubabuulira gye nzigya obuyinza obunkozesa bino.”
9 Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
Awo Yesu n’akyukira abantu n’abagerera olugero luno nti, “Waaliwo omusajja eyalina ennimiro ey’emizabbibu, n’agipangisa abalimi, n’agenda olugendo, n’amalayo ebbanga ddene.
10 And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent [him] away empty.
Awo ekiseera eky’amakungula bwe kyatuuka, n’atuma omu ku baddu be eri abalimi bamuwe ku bibala eby’emizabbibu gye. Naye abalimi abapangisa ne bamukuba ne bamugoba n’addayo ngalo nsa eri mukama we.
11 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty.
N’abatumira omuddu we omulala, n’oyo ne bamukuba ne bamuswaza nnyo, n’addayo ngalo nsa.
12 And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast [him] out.
N’abatumira omuddu owookusatu, naye ne bamukuba ne bamussaako n’ebiwundu ne bamugoba mu nnimiro.
13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be when they see him they will reverence him.
“Nannyini nnimiro ne yeebuuza nti, ‘Nkole ntya? Ka mbatumire omwana wange gwe njagala ennyo, oboolyawo banaamussaamu ekitiibwa.’
14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
“Omwana oyo bwe baamulengera ne bateesa nti, ‘Ono y’agenda okusikira ennimiro eno nga kitaawe afudde. Ka tumutte, ebyobusika tubyesigalize.’
15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed [him]. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
Ne bamuggya mu nnimiro nga bamukulula ne bamutta. “Mulowooza nannyini nnimiro abalimi abo alibakola atya?
16 He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said, may that never be.
Agenda kujja abazikirize bonna, n’ennimiro agiwe abalala.” Awo bwe baabiwulira ebyo ne bagamba nti, “Ekintu ng’ekyo kireme kubaawo!”
17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
Yesu n’abatunuulira n’abagamba nti, “Kale ekyawandiikibwa kino kitegeeza ki? Ekigamba nti, “‘Ejjinja abazimbi lye baagaana, lye lifuuse ejjinja ekkulu ery’oku nsonda.’
18 Whoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Omuntu yenna agwa ku jjinja eryo alibetentebwa, na buli gwe lirigwako lirimubetenta.”
19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
Awo abannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne bakabona abakulu bwe baawulira ebigambo ebyo, ne baagala bamukwatirewo mangwago, kubanga baamanya ng’olugero lwali lukwata ku bo. Naye ne batya abantu.
20 And they watched [him], and sent forth spies, who should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.
Ne balinda okutuusa lwe banaafuna akaagaanya babeeko kye bakola. Ne batuma abakessi eri Yesu nga beefudde ng’abantu abalungi abaagala okumanya. Baasuubira nti mu ebyo by’anaddamu, nga bamubuuzizza ebibuuzo ebirimu emitego, munaabaamu kwe banaasinziira okumukwata ne bamuwaayo ewa gavana.
21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person [of any], but teachest the way of God truly:
Abakessi ne babuuza Yesu nti, “Omuyigiriza, tumanyi nga By’oyogera n’ebyo by’oyigiriza bya mazima, era nga tofaayo ku bigambo eby’abantu obuntu wabula oyigiriza ebyo Katonda by’ayagala.
22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
Kyetuva tukubuuza nti kituufu okuwa Kayisaali omusolo oba si kituufu?”
23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt ye me?
Yesu n’ategeera mangu obukuusa bwabwe, n’abagamba nti,
24 Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Cesar's.
“Mundage ensimbi eya ffeeza. Ekifaananyi kino ekiriko ky’ani? N’erinnya lino ly’ani?” Ne baddamu nti, “Bya Kayisaali.”
25 And he said to them, Render therefore to Cesar the things which are Cesar's, and to God the things which are God's.
N’abagamba nti, “Kale ebya Kayisaali mubiwenga Kayisaali, n’ebya Katonda mubiwenga Katonda.”
26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marveled at his answer, and held their peace.
Ne balemwa okumukwasa mu ebyo bye yaddamu ng’abantu bonna bali awo. Bye yaddamu ne bibeewuunyisa nnyo, ne basirika busirisi.
27 Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees (who deny that there is any resurrection) and they asked him,
Awo abamu ku Basaddukaayo abatakkiririza mu kuzuukira, ne bajja eri Yesu, ne bamubuuza nti,
28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man's brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
“Omuyigiriza, amateeka ga Musa gagamba nti ssinga omusajja omufumbo afa nga tazadde baana, muganda we awasenga nnamwandu alyoke afunire muganda we omufu ezzadde.
29 There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
Waaliwo abooluganda musanvu, asinga obukulu n’awasa, kyokka n’afa nga talese mwana.
30 And the second took her for a wife, and he died childless.
Adda ku mufu n’awasa nnamwandu; kyokka naye n’afa nga tazadde mwana.
31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: And they left no children, and died.
Okutuusa abooluganda bonna lwe baafa ne baggwaawo nga buli omu awasizza ku nnamwandu oyo, kyokka nga tewali alese mwana.
32 Last of all the woman died also.
Oluvannyuma n’omukazi naye n’afa.
33 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
Kale mu kuzuukira omukazi oyo aliba muka ani? Kubanga abooluganda bonna omusanvu yabafumbirwako!”
34 And Jesus answering, said to them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Obufumbo buli kuno ku nsi, abantu kwe bawasiza era ne bafumbirwa. (aiōn g165)
35 But they who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
Naye abo abasaanyizibwa okuzuukira mu bafu bwe batuuka mu ggulu tebawasa wadde okufumbirwa, (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.
era tebaddayo kufa nate, kubanga baba nga bamalayika. Era baba baana ba Katonda kubanga baba bazuukizibbwa mu bulamu obuggya,
37 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Naye nti abafu bazuukizibwa, ne Musa yannyonnyola bye yalaba ku kisaka, bwe yayita Mukama Katonda wa Ibulayimu, Katonda wa Isaaka, era Katonda wa Yakobo.
38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
Kino kitegeeza nti ssi Katonda wa bafu wabula Katonda wa balamu, kubanga bonna balamu gy’ali.”
39 Then certain of the scribes answering, said, Master, thou hast well said.
Abamu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne bagamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, ozzeemu bulungi!”
40 And after that, they durst not ask him any question at all.
Ne watabaawo ayaŋŋanga kwongera kumubuuza bibuuzo birala.
41 And he said to them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
Awo Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki Kristo ayitibwa Omwana wa Dawudi?
42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Songa Dawudi amwogerako mu Zabbuli nti, “‘Katonda yagamba Mukama wange nti, Tuula ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo
43 Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
okutuusa lwe ndifuula abalabe bo entebe y’ebigere byo.’
44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
Noolwekyo obanga Dawudi amuyita Mukama we, kale ayinza atya okuba omwana we?”
45 Then in the audience of all the people, he said to his disciples,
Awo abantu bonna nga bawulira, Yesu n’akyukira abayigirizwa be n’abagamba nti,
46 Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
“Mwekuume abannyonnyozi b’amateeka. Baagala nnyo okutambula nga bambadde amaganduula agagenda gakweya, n’abantu okugenda nga babalamusa mu butale, era baagala nnyo okutuula mu bifo eby’ekitiibwa mu makuŋŋaaniro ne ku mbaga!
47 Who devour widows' houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
Balimbalimba nga basaba essaala empanvu, ng’eno bwe basala enkwe okunyaga ebintu bya bannamwandu. Noolwekyo bagenda kufuna ekibonerezo ekisingira ddala obunene.”
