Luke 20
1 And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he is teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came upon [him],
Ikawa siku moja, Yesu alipokuwa akiwafundisha watu Hekaluni na kuhubiri injili, makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria walimwendea pamoja na wazee.
2 and spake unto him, saying, 'Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who is he that gave to thee this authority?'
Walizungumza, wakimwambia, 'Tuambie ni kwa mamlaka gani unafanya mambo haya? Au ni nani huyo ambaye amekupa mamlaka haya? “
3 And he answering said unto them, 'I will question you — I also — one thing, and tell me:
Naye akajibu, akawaambia, 'Nami pia nitawauliza swali. Niambieni
4 the baptism of John, from heaven was it, or from men?'
ubatizo wa Yohana. Je, ulitoka mbinguni ama kwa watu? '
5 And they reasoned with themselves, saying — 'If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?
Lakini wakajadiliana wao kwa wao, wakisema, 'Tukisema, `litoka mbinguni, atatuuliza, ` Basi, mbona hamkumwamini?'
6 and if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.'
Na tukisema; ilitoka kwa wanadamu; watu wote hapa watatupiga mawe, maana wote wanaamini kwamba Yohana alikuwa nabii. '
7 And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was],
Basi, wakamjibu ya kwamba hawakujua ilikotoka.
8 and Jesus said to them, 'Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things.'
Yesu akawaambia, '“Wala mimi siwaambii ninyi ni kwa mamlaka gani ninafanya mambo haya.”
9 And he began to speak unto the people this simile: 'A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad for a long time,
Aliwaambia watu mfano huu, “Mtu mmoja alipanda shamba la mizabibu, akalikodisha kwa wakulima wa mizabibu, na akaenda nchi nyingine kwa muda mrefu.
10 and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send [him] away empty.
Kwa muda uliopangwa, alimtuma mtumishi kwa wakulima mizabibu, kwamba wampe sehemu ya matunda ya shamba la mizabibu. Lakini wakulima wa mzabibu wakampiga, wakamrudisha mikono- mitupu.
11 'And he added to send another servant, and they that one also having beaten and dishonoured, did send away empty;
Kisha akamtuma tena mtumishi mwingine na nao wakampiga, kumtendea vibaya, na wakamrudisha mikono- mitupu.
12 and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they did cast out.
Alimtuma tena wa tatu na nao wakamjeruhi na kumtupa nje.
13 'And the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son — the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will do reverence;
Hivyo bwana wa shamba akasema, 'Nitafanya nini? Nitamtuma mwanangu mpendwa. Labda watamheshimu. '
14 and having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours;
Lakini wakulima wa mzabibu walipomwona, walijadili wao kwa wao wakisema, `Huyu ndiye mrithi. Tumuue, ili urithi wake uwe wetu. '
15 and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed [him]; what, then, shall the owner of the vineyard do to them?
Wakamtoa nje ya shamba la mizabibu na kumuua. Je bwana shamba atawafanya nini?
16 He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.' And having heard, they said, 'Let it not be!'
Atakuja kuwaangamiza wakulima wa mzabibu, na atawapa shamba hilo wengine”. 'Nao waliposikia hayo, wakasema, 'Mungu amekataa'
17 and he, having looked upon them, said, 'What, then, is this that hath been written: A stone that the builders rejected — this became head of a corner?
Lakini Yesu akawatazama, akasema, “Je andiko hili lina maana gani? 'Jiwe walilolikataa wajenzi, limekuwa jiwe la pembeni'?
18 every one who hath fallen on that stone shall be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.'
Kila mtu aangukaye juu ya jiwe hilo, atavunjika vipande vipande. Lakini yule ambaye litamwangukia, litamponda. '
19 And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that against them he spake this simile.
Hivyo waandishi na wakuu wa makuhani walitafuta njia ya kumkamata wakati huohuo, walijua kwamba alikuwa amesema mfano huu dhidi yao. Lakini waliwaogopa watu.
20 And, having watched [him], they sent forth liers in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor,
Walimuangalia kwa makini, wakatuma wapelelezi waliojifanya kuwa watu wa haki, ili wapate kupata kosa kwa hotuba yake, ili kumpelekakwa watawala na wenye mamlaka.
21 and they questioned him, saying, 'Teacher, we have known that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a person, but in truth the way of God dost teach;
Nao wakamwuliza, wakisema, “Mwalimu, tunajua kwamba unasema na kufundisha mambo ya kweli na si kushawishiwa na mtu yeyote, lakini wewe hufundisha ukweli kuhusu njia ya Mungu.
22 Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?'
Je, ni halali kwetu kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari, au la?”
23 And he, having perceived their craftiness, said unto them, 'Why me do ye tempt?
Lakini Yesu alitambua mtego wao, akawaambia,
24 shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and superscription?' and they answering said, 'Of Caesar:'
“Nionyesheni dinari. Sura na chapa ya nani ipo juu yake?” Walisema, '“Ya Kaisari.”
25 and he said to them, 'Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'
Naye akawaambia, 'Basi, mpeni Kaisari yaliyo yake Kaisari, na Mungu yaliyo yake Mungu.'
26 and they were not able to take hold on his saying before the people, and having wondered at his answer, they were silent.
Waandishi na wakuu wa makuhani hawakuwa na uwezo wa kukosoa kile alichosema mbele ya watu. Wakastaajabia majibu yake na hawakusema chochote.
27 And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a rising again, having come near, questioned him,
Baadhi ya Masadukayo wakamwendea, wale ambao wanasema kwamba hakuna ufufuo,
28 saying, 'Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless — that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his brother.
wakamwuliza, wakisema, “Mwalimu, Musa alituandikia kwamba kama mtu akifiwa na ndugu mwenye mke ambaye hana mtoto basi anapaswa kumchukuna mke wa ndugu yake na kuzaa nae kwa ajili ya kaka yake.
29 'There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,
Kulikuwa na ndugu saba Wa kwanza alioa, akafa bila kuacha mtoto,
30 and the second took the wife, and he died childless,
na wa pili pia.
31 and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven — they left not children, and they died;
Wa tatu akamchukua vilevile, vivyo hivyo wa saba hakuacha watoto na akafa.
32 and last of all died also the woman:
Baadaye yule mwanamke pia akafa.
33 in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she become wife? — for the seven had her as wife.'
Katika ufufuo atakuwa mke wa nani? Maana wote saba walikuwa wamemwoa. '
34 And Jesus answering said to them, 'The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
Yesu akawaambia, “Wana wa ulimwengu huu huoa na kuolewa. (aiōn g165)
35 but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
Lakini wale wanastaohili kupokea ufufuo wa wafu na kuingia uzima wa milele hawaoi wala hawaolewi. (aiōn g165)
36 for neither are they able to die any more — for they are like messengers — and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again.
Wala hawawezi kufa tena, kwa sababu huwa sawasawa na malaika na ni watoto wa Mungu, wana wa ufufuo.
37 'And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
Lakini hiyo wafu wanafufuliwa, hata Musa alionyesha mahali katika habari za kichaka, pale alimwita Bwana kama Mungu wa Ibrahimu na Mungu wa Isaka na Mungu wa Yakobo.
38 and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.'
Sasa, yeye si Mungu wa wafu, bali wa walio hai, kwa sababu wote huishi kwake. “
39 And certain of the scribes answering said, 'Teacher, thou didst say well;'
Baadhi ya walimu wa Sheria wakamjibu, 'Mwalimu, umejibu vema. '
40 and no more durst they question him anything.
Hawakuthubutu kumwuliza maswali mengine zaidi.
41 And he said unto them, 'How do they say the Christ to be son of David,
Yesu akawaambia, “Ki vipi watu wanasema kwamba Kristo ni mwana wa Daudi?
42 and David himself saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Maana Daudi mwenyewe anasema katika Zaburi: Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu: Keti mkono wa kulia,
43 till I shall make thine enemies thy footstool;
mpaka niwaweke adui zako chini ya miguu yako. '
44 David, then, doth call him lord, and how is he his son?'
Daudi anamwita Kristo 'Bwana', basi atakuwaje mwana wa Daudi?”
45 And, all the people hearing, he said to his disciples,
Watu wote walipokuwa wakimsikiliza akawaambia wanafunzi wake,
46 'Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are loving salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the suppers,
'Jihadharini na waandishi, wapendao kutembea wamevaa mavazi marefu, na wapenda salamu maalum sokoni na viti vya heshima katika masinagogi, na maeneo ya heshima karamuni.
47 who devour the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant judgment.'
Wao pia hula nyumba za wajane, na wanajifanya wanasali sala ndefu. Hawa watapokea hukumu kubwa zaidi. '
