Luke 20
1 On one of those days while He was teaching the people in the Temple and proclaiming the Good News, the High Priests came upon Him, and the Scribes,
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 together with the Elders, and they asked Him, "Tell us, By what authority are you doing these things? And who is it that gave you this authority?"
Ne bamubuuza nti, “Tubuulire, buyinza ki obukukozesa bino? Era ani eyakuwa obuyinza obwo?”
3 "I also will put a question to you, "He said;
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Nange ka mbabuuze ekibuuzo kino.
4 "was John's baptism of Heavenly or of human origin?"
Okubatiza kwa Yokaana kwava eri Katonda nandiki kwava mu bantu?”
5 So they debated the matter with one another. "If we say 'Heavenly,'" they argued, "he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'
Ne basooka okwogeraganyaamu bokka ne bokka nga bagamba nti, “Bwe tunaagamba nti, ‘Kwava mu ggulu,’ ajja kutubuuza nti, ‘Kale, lwaki temwamukkiriza?’
6 And if we say, 'human,' the people will all stone us; for they are thoroughly convinced 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 did not know the origin of it.
Kyebaava baddamu nti, “Tetumanyi gye kwava.”
8 "Nor will I tell you," said Jesus, "by what authority I do these things."
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nange sijja kubabuulira gye nzigya obuyinza obunkozesa bino.”
9 Then He proceeded to speak a parable to the people. "There was a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, let it out to vine-dressers, and went abroad for a considerable 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 At vintage-time he sent a servant to the vine-dressers, for them to give him a share of the crop; but the vine-dressers beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
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 Then he sent a second servant; and him too they beat and ill treated and sent away empty-handed.
N’abatumira omuddu we omulala, n’oyo ne bamukuba ne bamuswaza nnyo, n’addayo ngalo nsa.
12 Then again he sent a third; and this one also they wounded and drove away.
N’abatumira omuddu owookusatu, naye ne bamukuba ne bamussaako n’ebiwundu ne bamugoba mu nnimiro.
13 Then the owner of the vineyard said, "'What am I to do? I will send my son--my dearly-loved son: they will probably respect him.'
“Nannyini nnimiro ne yeebuuza nti, ‘Nkole ntya? Ka mbatumire omwana wange gwe njagala ennyo, oboolyawo banaamussaamu ekitiibwa.’
14 "But when the vine-dressers saw him, they discussed the matter with one another, and said, "'This is the heir: 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 turned him out of the vineyard and murdered him. What then will the owner 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 put these vine-dressers to death, and give the vineyard to others." "God forbid!" exclaimed the hearers.
Agenda kujja abazikirize bonna, n’ennimiro agiwe abalala.” Awo bwe baabiwulira ebyo ne bagamba nti, “Ekintu ng’ekyo kireme kubaawo!”
17 He looked at them and said, "What then does that mean which is written, "'The Stone which the builders rejected has been made the cornerstone'?
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 Every one who falls on that stone will be severely hurt, but on whomsoever it falls, he will be utterly crushed."
Omuntu yenna agwa ku jjinja eryo alibetentebwa, na buli gwe lirigwako lirimubetenta.”
19 At this the Scribes and the High Priests wanted to lay hands on Him, then and there; only they were afraid of the people. For they saw that in this parable He had referred to 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 So, after impatiently watching their opportunity, they sent spies who were to act the part of good and honest men, that they might fasten on some expression of His, so as to hand Him over to the ruling power and the Governor's authority.
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 So they put a question to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you say and teach what is right and that you make no distinctions between one man and another, but teach God's way 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 allowable to pay a tax to Caesar, or not?"
Kyetuva tukubuuza nti kituufu okuwa Kayisaali omusolo oba si kituufu?”
23 But He saw through their knavery and replied,
Yesu n’ategeera mangu obukuusa bwabwe, n’abagamba nti,
24 "Show me a shilling; whose likeness and inscription does it bear?" "Caesar's," they said.
“Mundage ensimbi eya ffeeza. Ekifaananyi kino ekiriko ky’ani? N’erinnya lino ly’ani?” Ne baddamu nti, “Bya Kayisaali.”
25 "Pay therefore," He replied, "what is Caesar's to Caesar--and what is God's to God."
N’abagamba nti, “Kale ebya Kayisaali mubiwenga Kayisaali, n’ebya Katonda mubiwenga Katonda.”
26 There was nothing here that they could lay hold of before the people, and marvelling at His answer they said no more.
Ne balemwa okumukwasa mu ebyo bye yaddamu ng’abantu bonna bali awo. Bye yaddamu ne bibeewuunyisa nnyo, ne basirika busirisi.
27 Next some of the Sadducees came forward (who deny that there is a Resurrection), and they asked Him,
Awo abamu ku Basaddukaayo abatakkiririza mu kuzuukira, ne bajja eri Yesu, ne bamubuuza nti,
28 "Rabbi, Moses made it a law for us that if a man's brother should die, leaving a wife but no children, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for 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 Now there were seven brothers. The first of them took a wife and died childless.
Waaliwo abooluganda musanvu, asinga obukulu n’awasa, kyokka n’afa nga talese mwana.
30 The second and the third also took her;
Adda ku mufu n’awasa nnamwandu; kyokka naye n’afa nga tazadde mwana.
31 and all seven, having done the same, left no children when they died.
Okutuusa abooluganda bonna lwe baafa ne baggwaawo nga buli omu awasizza ku nnamwandu oyo, kyokka nga tewali alese mwana.
32 Finally the woman also died.
Oluvannyuma n’omukazi naye n’afa.
33 The woman, then--at the Resurrection--whose wife shall she be? for they all seven married her."
Kale mu kuzuukira omukazi oyo aliba muka ani? Kubanga abooluganda bonna omusanvu yabafumbirwako!”
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Obufumbo buli kuno ku nsi, abantu kwe bawasiza era ne bafumbirwa. (aiōn g165)
35 But as for those who shall have been deemed worthy to find a place in that other age and in the Resurrection from among the dead, the men do not marry and the women are not given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
Naye abo abasaanyizibwa okuzuukira mu bafu bwe batuuka mu ggulu tebawasa wadde okufumbirwa, (aiōn g165)
36 For indeed they cannot die again; they are like angels, and are sons of God through being sons of the Resurrection.
era tebaddayo kufa nate, kubanga baba nga bamalayika. Era baba baana ba Katonda kubanga baba bazuukizibbwa mu bulamu obuggya,
37 But that the dead rise to life even Moses clearly implies in the passage about the Bush, where he calls the Lord 'The God of Abraham, 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 He is not a God of dead, but of living men, for to Him are all living."
Kino kitegeeza nti ssi Katonda wa bafu wabula Katonda wa balamu, kubanga bonna balamu gy’ali.”
39 Then some of the Scribes replied, "Rabbi, you have spoken well."
Abamu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne bagamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, ozzeemu bulungi!”
40 From that time, however, no one ventured to challenge Him with a single question.
Ne watabaawo ayaŋŋanga kwongera kumubuuza bibuuzo birala.
41 But He asked them, "How is it they say that the Christ is a son of David?
Awo Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki Kristo ayitibwa Omwana wa Dawudi?
42 Why, David himself says in the Book of Psalms, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand
Songa Dawudi amwogerako mu Zabbuli nti, “‘Katonda yagamba Mukama wange nti, Tuula ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo
43 Until I have made thy foes a footstool under they feet.'
okutuusa lwe ndifuula abalabe bo entebe y’ebigere byo.’
44 "David himself therefore calls Him Lord, and how can He be his son?"
Noolwekyo obanga Dawudi amuyita Mukama we, kale ayinza atya okuba omwana we?”
45 Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to the disciples,
Awo abantu bonna nga bawulira, Yesu n’akyukira abayigirizwa be n’abagamba nti,
46 "Beware of the Scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and love to be bowed to in places of public resort and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues or at a dinner party;
“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 swallow up the property of widows and mask their wickedness by making long prayers. They will be punished far more severely than others."
Balimbalimba nga basaba essaala empanvu, ng’eno bwe basala enkwe okunyaga ebintu bya bannamwandu. Noolwekyo bagenda kufuna ekibonerezo ekisingira ddala obunene.”
