Luka 20
1 kubezi zuba lyonke, linu Jesu abali kuluta ni kuwamba ku bantu mwi ntepele naluta Izwi, mukulwana wa mapulisita ni bamwi ba kulwana baba kezi kwali nibamwi
On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
2 Baba wambi, chibati kwali, “utu wa mbile ma tanzi au kwete ku chita ezi zintu? Njeni uzo aba kuhi mata?”
They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
3 Che taba nati kubali, “Name muni mibuze ipuzo. Muni wa mbile
He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 che nkolobezo ya Joani. Iba kuzwa kwiulu kapa ku muntu?”
the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 Baba lielezi abobene, chibacho, “Chi twati, 'Izwa kwi ulu,' mwa wambe, 'chinzi ha musa zumini kwali?'
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
6 Linu chi twati, 'izwa ku muntu,' bonse bantu kaba tuñate, abo baba susu wezwa kuti Joani abali mupolofita,”
But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 Linu chi betaba kuti kabezi kuzi ka zwa.
They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
8 Jesu chati ku bali, “kese nimi wa mbile Inguzu zini chita izi zintu.”
Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9 Cha wambila bantu Inguli, “Muntu cha biala nzi chelantu zakwe muluwa, muntu aba kalimise luwa kuba viali bo muomba, ni kuya kwi nkanda Inako Inde.
He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, and went into another country for a long time.
10 Chi yasike nako chi kutuma bahikana kubabiali ba muwomba, muhe nzimwi nzi chelantu zizwa muluwa lo muwomba. Baba kutokomela luwa lo muomba baba mukabi, niku musiya mayanza-yanza.
At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.
11 Hape cha tuma zumwi muhikana naye baba mukabi, ni kumu nyandisa cha chituhu, niku mutumina naye mayanza-yanza.
He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Chiba tuma zumwi wa butatu naye baba mukavi kumu nongola nzilabi kwali, niku musohela hanze.
He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
13 Linu Simwine wa luwa lomuomba chati, 'Muni chite bule?' Muni tume mwa nangu unisuna. Mwe ndi mubamuhe Ikute.'
The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
14 Kono ba byali ba muomba chiba mubona, chiba wamba mukati kabo, chi ba cho, Uzu nji yena swana. Tumwi haye, tuhinde chi fumu chibe chetu.'
“But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.’
15 Chi ba musohela kunze wo luwa lomuomba, ni kumwi haya. Mihe simwine wa luwa lomuomba mwati nzi kubali?
Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Kakeze ni kwiza kushinya ba byali boluwa lya muwomba, mwahe luwa lomu womba ku bamwi.” Mi ha ba zuwa, chiba cho, “Ireeza ukanisa!”
He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
17 Jesu cha lola kubali, nacho, “Iñolo litalusa nzi? 'Ivwe liba sohiwa bazaki, liba bikwa musumo wo mwinkona'?
But he looked at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
18 Nzonse zibawi kweline vwe nziba kosoki hakati. Yense ase awile vwe, muli sinyehe.”
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
19 Bañoli niba kulwana bama pulisita baba kusuna kubika mayaza abo cheyo nako, babe zibite kuti inguli ya wamba i baku keza kubali. Linu baba ku tiya chi kwata cha bantu.
The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.
20 Baba ku mulolete che ntokomelo, baba tumini bantu ba matwela baba lihele kuti abo ba lukite, kuti baka wane muladu mu nzi wambo zakwe, bamu twale kwa bana ba yendisi ni kuba kulwana be chisi.
They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.
21 Chi bamu buza, nacho, “Muluti, twizi kuti uba wambi ni kuluta nzilukite, mikana Insusuwezo ye chitulo cha zumwi, kono ubakuluta buniti bwe nzila ye Ireeza.
They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
22 Kana Iswanelo kwetu kuliha mutelo kwa Sesare, kapa bule?”
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 Kono Jesu cha zuwi sisa mizezo yabo, chati kubali,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
24 “Muni tondeze ma sheleñi. Chi fateho chani chi na hateni?” Chi bacho, 'Sesare.”
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
25 Chati kubali, “Muhe Sasere zintu za Sasere, ni kwe Ireeza, zintu zakwe Reeza.”
He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26 Kana baba kwizi za kumu kananisa ha ba ku kwete ku wamba hakati habusu bwa bantu. Baba zimene niba ñuñuna kana baba kwina cho kwi taba.
They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
27 Bu ngi bwa Masadduse chi ba keza kwali, yeke ya ba ku wamba kuti ka kwina kubuka kubafu,
Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
28 chi ba mu buza, chi bati, “Muluti, Mushe aba tuñoleli kuti haiba mukulwe wa mukwame nafwa, nena mwanakazi, mi nasa kwete bana, mukwame uwola kuhinda mwanakazi wamukulwa kwe, niku wanina mukulwe bana.
They asked him, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
29 Kuba kwina bana ba bakwame ba tenda iyanza ni bobele, wetanzi aba hindi mwanakazi, aba fwi na sena mwana,
There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 niwa bubeli naye.
The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31 Wa butatu cha muhinda, ubu nja bana be yaza ni bobeli ba bafwi, ka bena bana.
The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
32 Ha ku hinta inako mwanakazi naye chafwa.
Afterward the woman also died.
33 Mwinako yokubuswa, mwabe mwanakazi wani? Kakuti iyaza nibo bele bakwete iye kuti nji mwanakazi wabo.”
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 Cwale aho njeni njete ahewe chifumu. abo bahindwa ku baba kutekwa mwinako yoku amuhelwa kuba ntu bafwile kuzwa kubafu. (aiōn g165)
But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 Mikese ba olele kuzwilila kufwa. mukuti ba likanelele ni mangeloi ni bana ba Ireeza, bababi bana ba ba buswa.
For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
37 Kuti babafwi baba buswa, naye Mushe aba ntondezwa, kuamana ni chi humbu, kwa ba kusumpa Simwine Ireeza wa Abrahama ni Ireeza wa Isaka ni Ireeza wa Jakobo.
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 Hanu kanji Ireeza wa bafu, kono Ireeza yohala, Linu bonse bahalila kwali.”
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
39 Bamwi ba masika babe tabi, “Muluti, wetaba nenza,
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
40 “Kana baba bozekezi kubuza nzimwi mpuzo.
They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
41 Jesu chati kubali, “Chizi ha ba wamba kuti Jesu mwana wa Davida?
He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
42 Mukuti Davida iye mwine aba wambi mwi mbuka ya Lisamu, Simwine aba wambi kwa Simwine wa ngu, 'Wikale kubulyo bwe yanza lyangu,
David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
43 konji chi napanga zila zako kuba mayendelo ako.'
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
44 Davida cha sumpa Jesu, simwine,' linu aho njeni mwana Davida?'
“David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
45 Mu kuhoza bantu bonse cha wamba kuba lutwana bakwe,”
In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
46 Muzwe kubantu, bena mizezo yoku yenda munzila isalukite, abo basaka ahulu intumeliso zamanzimo muchibaka cha maunzikizo, mi simwine wikala muma sinangonge, zibaka zasimwine zemikiti.
“Beware of those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts;
47 Bamana mazubo abanakazi ba fwililwe, nibaba lapelela intapelo inde. Abo kabahewe chikuto chikando.
who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
