Luka 20
1 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.
And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and telling the good tidings, that the High-priests and the Scribes, with the Elders, came upon him, —
2 Makĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Twĩre wĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ. Nũũ wakũheire ũhoti ũcio?”
and spake, saying, unto him—Tell us, by what authority, these things, thou art doing, and, who, is it, that gave thee this authority.
3 Nake akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ nĩngũmũũria kĩũria.
And answering, he said unto them—I too, will question, you, as to a matter, —and tell me!
4 Ta njĩĩrai, ũbatithio wa Johana-rĩ, woimĩte igũrũ kana woimire kũrĩ andũ?”
The immersion of John, Of heaven, was it, or of men?
5 Makĩaranĩria o ene ũhoro ũcio, makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Tũngiuga atĩ ‘Woimĩte igũrũ’ egũtũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Mwakĩregire kũmwĩtĩkia nĩkĩ?’
And they deliberated together by themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore did ye not believe him?
6 Ningĩ tuoiga atĩ ‘Woimĩte kũrĩ andũ’, andũ othe nĩmegũtũhũũra na mahiga nyuguto, nĩ ũndũ nĩmetĩkĩtie atĩ Johana aarĩ mũnabii.”
But, if we say, Of men, the people, one and all, will stone us, for, persuaded, they are, that, John, was, a prophet.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩcookeria Jesũ atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtiũĩ woimĩte kũ.”
And they answered, that they knew not whence.
8 Nake Jesũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ ndikũmwĩra njĩkaga maũndũ maya na ũhoti ũrĩkũ.”
And, Jesus, said unto them—Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
9 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.
And he began, unto the people, to be speaking this parable: —A man, planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went from home for a long time.
10 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.
And, in due season, he sent unto the husbandmen, a servant, that, of the fruit of the vineyard, they might give him; but, the husbandmen, having beaten him, sent him away empty.
11 Agĩcooka agĩtũma ndungata ĩngĩ, ĩyo o nayo makĩmĩhũũra makĩmĩconorithia na makĩmĩingata ĩtarĩ na kĩndũ.
And he, further, sent another servant; but, they, beating, that one also, and dishonouring him, sent him away, empty.
12 O rĩngĩ agĩtũma ndungata ya gatatũ, nao makĩmĩtiihangia na makĩmĩingata.
And he, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust him out.
13 “Nake mwene mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ akĩĩyũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ngwĩka atĩa? Ngũtũma mũrũ wakwa, ũrĩa nyendete; hihi mahota kũmũhe gĩtĩĩo’.
And the lord of the vineyard said—What shall I do? I will send my son, the beloved, —It may be, that, him, they will respect.
14 “No rĩrĩa akombori acio maamuonire, makĩarĩrĩria ũhoro ũcio. Makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩwe ũkaagaya mũgũnda ũyũ. Nĩtũmũũragei nĩguo igai rĩake rĩtuĩke riitũ.’
But he husbandmen, seeing him, began to deliberate one with another, saying—This, is, the heir: Let us slay him, that, ours, may be, the inheritance.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmũruta nja ya mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ, makĩmũũraga. “Rĩu-rĩ, mwene mũgũnda ũcio wa mĩthabibũ-rĩ, akaameka atĩa?
And, thrusting him forth outside the vineyard, they slew him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16 Agooka oorage akombori acio, acooke ahe andũ angĩ mũgũnda ũcio.” Rĩrĩa andũ maiguire ũguo, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Kũroaga gũtuĩka ũguo!”
He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard unto others. But, when they heard it, they said—Far be it!
17 Jesũ akĩmarora, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Maandĩko marĩa mandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “‘Ihiga rĩrĩa aaki maaregire, nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga inene rĩa koine’, ũguo nĩ kuuga atĩa?
But, he, looking at them, said—What, then, is this that is written, —A stone which the builders’ rejected, The same, hath become, head of the corner?
18 Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũkaagwĩra ihiga rĩu, nĩrĩkamuunanga, no ũrĩa rĩkaagwĩra nĩrĩkamũhehenja.”
Every one who falleth on that stone, will be sorely bruised, but, on whomsoever it shall fall, it will utterly destroy him.
19 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.
And the Scribes and the High-priests sought to thrust on him their hands, in that very hour; and feared the people; for they perceived that, against them, spake he this parable.
20 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.
And, watching narrowly, they sent forth suborned men, feigning themselves to be, righteous, that they might lay hold of a word of his, so as to deliver him up unto the rule and the authority of the governor.
21 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.
And they questioned him, saying—Teacher! we know that, rightly, thou speakest and teachest, and respectest no person, but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach:
22 Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩtwagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũrutĩra Kaisari igooti kana ca?”
Is it allowable for us to give, unto Caesar, tribute, or not?
23 Nowe Jesũ akĩona ũhinga ũrĩa maarĩ naguo akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
But, observing their villainy, he said unto them—
24 “Ta nyoniai mbeeca cianyu. Mbica ĩno na rĩĩtwa rĩĩrĩ nĩ cia ũ?”
Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said—Of Caesar.
25 Makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ cia Kaisari.” Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Kĩrutagĩrei Kaisari kĩrĩa kĩrĩ gĩake, na mũrutagĩre Ngai kĩrĩa kĩrĩ gĩake.”
And, he, said unto them—Well then! render the things of Caesar, unto Caesar, and the things of God, unto God.
26 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.
And they could not lay hold of the saying, before the people; and, marvelling at his answer, they held their peace.
27 Na rĩrĩ, andũ amwe a Asadukai, arĩa moigaga atĩ gũtirĩ ũhoro wa kũriũka, magĩũka kũrĩ Jesũ, makĩmũũria atĩrĩ,
But there came near certain of the Sadducees, they who say, Resurrection, there is none! and questioned him,
28 “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.
saying—Teacher! Moses, wrote for us, If one’s brother die, having a wife, and, he, be, childless, that his brother shall take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 Na rĩrĩ, kwarĩ aanake mũgwanja a nyina ũmwe. Wa mbere akĩhikania na agĩkua, agĩtiga mũtumia atarĩ na ciana.
Seven brethren, therefore, there were, —and, the first, taking a wife, died childless,
30 Nake wa keerĩ,
And, the second,
31 na wa gatatũ makĩmũhikia, na makĩrũmanĩrĩra ũguo nginya wa mũgwanja; othe magĩkua, makĩmũtiga atarĩ na ciana.
and the third, took her, —yea, likewise, even the seven; They left no children, and died:
32 Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ, mũtumia ũcio o nake agĩkua.
Later on, the woman also, died.
33 Rĩu-rĩ, hĩndĩ ya kũriũka agaakorwo arĩ mũtumia wa ũ harĩ acio mũgwanja, nĩgũkorwo othe nĩmamũhikĩtie?”
The woman, therefore, in the resurrection, Of which of them, doth she become wife? for, the seven, had her to wife.
And Jesus said unto them—The sons of this age, marry, and are given in marriage, — (aiōn g165)
35 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)
But, they who have been accounted worthy, that age, to obtain, and the resurrection that is from among the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
36 Andũ acio matigacooka gũkua; nĩgũkorwo makahaana ta araika. Andũ acio magakorwo marĩ ciana cia Ngai, nĩgũkorwo nĩ ciana cia ũhoro ũcio wa kũriũka.
For they cannot, even die any more, —for, equal unto messengers, are they, and are, sons of God, Of the resurrection, being, sons.
37 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.’
But, that the dead do rise, even Moses, disclosed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord—The God of Abraham and God of Isaac and God of Jacob:
38 We ti Ngai wa arĩa akuũ, no nĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo, nĩgũkorwo harĩ we andũ othe arĩa marĩ muoyo matũũragio nĩwe.”
Now, God, he is not, of the dead, but, of the living, —for, all, unto him, do live.
39 Nao andũ amwe a arutani a watho makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrutani, nĩwoiga wega!”
And certain of the Scribes, answering, said—Teacher! Well, hast thou spoken.
40 Na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wageririe kũmũũria ciũria ingĩ.
For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.
41 Jesũ agĩcooka akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Andũ moigaga Kristũ nĩ mũriũ wa Daudi nĩ ũndũ wa kĩĩ?
And he said unto them—How say they, that, the Christ, is, David’s Son?
42 Daudi we mwene nĩoigĩte ibuku-inĩ rĩa Thaburi atĩrĩ: “‘Mwathani nĩerire Mwathani wakwa atĩrĩ: “Ikara guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo,
For, David himself, saith, in [the] book of Psalms: Said the Lord, unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
43 nginya ngaatũma thũ ciaku ituĩke gaturwa ka makinya maku.”’
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
44 Atĩrĩrĩ, Daudi aamwĩtire ‘Mwathani’. Angĩgĩcooka gũtuĩka mũriũ wake atĩa?”
David, therefore, calleth, him Lord: How, then, his son, is he?
45 O andũ acio othe mathikĩrĩirie, Jesũ akĩĩra arutwo ake atĩrĩ,
And, all the people hearing, he said unto the disciples:
46 “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.
Be taking heed of the Scribes—Who desire to walk about in long robes, and are fond of salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the chief meals, —
47 No nĩo matoonyagĩrĩra atumia a ndigwa makamatunya nyũmba ciao, na nĩguo meyonanie, makahooya mahooya maraihu. Andũ ta acio nĩmakaherithio mũno makĩria.”
Who devour the houses of widows, and, for a show, are a long time at prayer. These, shall receive, a heavier sentence.
