ULukha 20
1 Kwasekusithi ngolunye lwalezonsuku, efundisa abantu ethempelini etshumayela ivangeli, bamfikela abapristi abakhulu lababhali kanye labadala,
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 basebekhuluma laye, besithi: Sitshele, ukuthi izinto lezi uzenza ngaliphi igunya, kumbe ngubani okunike leligunya?
Ne bamubuuza nti, “Tubuulire, buyinza ki obukukozesa bino? Era ani eyakuwa obuyinza obwo?”
3 Wasephendula wathi kubo: Lami ngizalibuza umbuzo ube munye, njalo lingitshele:
Yesu n’addamu nti, “Nange ka mbabuuze ekibuuzo kino.
4 Ubhabhathizo lukaJohane lwavela ezulwini, kumbe ebantwini?
Okubatiza kwa Yokaana kwava eri Katonda nandiki kwava mu bantu?”
5 Basebezindlisana, besithi: Uba sisithi: Ezulwini; uzakuthi: Kungani-ke lingamkholwanga?
Ne basooka okwogeraganyaamu bokka ne bokka nga bagamba nti, “Bwe tunaagamba nti, ‘Kwava mu ggulu,’ ajja kutubuuza nti, ‘Kale, lwaki temwamukkiriza?’
6 Kodwa uba sisithi: Ebantwini; abantu bonke bazasikhanda ngamatshe; ngoba baleqiniso lokuthi uJohane wayengumprofethi.
Naye ate bwe tunaddamu nti, ‘Kwava mu bantu,’ abantu bonna bajja kutukuba amayinja, kubanga bamatizibwa nti Yokaana yali nnabbi.”
7 Basebephendula ngokuthi kabazi lapho olwavela khona.
Kyebaava baddamu nti, “Tetumanyi gye kwava.”
8 UJesu wasesithi kubo: Lami kangilitsheli ukuthi ngenza lezizinto ngaliphi igunya.
Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Nange sijja kubabuulira gye nzigya obuyinza obunkozesa bino.”
9 Waseqala ukutshela abantu lumfanekiso, esithi: Umuntu othile wahlanyela isivini, wasiqhatshisa kubalimi, waya kwelinye ilizwe okwesikhathi eside;
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 kwathi ngesikhathi esifaneleyo wathuma inceku kubalimi, ukuze bayinike okwesithelo sesivini; kodwa abalimi bayitshaya bayithumeza ize.
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 Wasethuma njalo enye inceku; layo bayitshaya bayiyangisa, bayithumeza ize.
N’abatumira omuddu we omulala, n’oyo ne bamukuba ne bamuswaza nnyo, n’addayo ngalo nsa.
12 Wasephinda ethuma leyesithathu; layo leyo bayilimaza bayiphosela ngaphandle.
N’abatumira omuddu owookusatu, naye ne bamukuba ne bamussaako n’ebiwundu ne bamugoba mu nnimiro.
13 Umninisivini wasesithi: Ngizakwenza njani? Ngizathuma indodana yami ethandekayo; mhlawumbe bebona yona bazayihlonipha.
“Nannyini nnimiro ne yeebuuza nti, ‘Nkole ntya? Ka mbatumire omwana wange gwe njagala ennyo, oboolyawo banaamussaamu ekitiibwa.’
14 Kodwa abalimi beyibona bazindlisana, besithi: Le yindlalifa; wozani, siyibulale, ukuze ilifa libe ngelethu.
“Omwana oyo bwe baamulengera ne bateesa nti, ‘Ono y’agenda okusikira ennimiro eno nga kitaawe afudde. Ka tumutte, ebyobusika tubyesigalize.’
15 Bayiphosela ngaphandle kwesivini, bayibulala. Kambe uzakwenzani kubo umninisivini?
Ne bamuggya mu nnimiro nga bamukulula ne bamutta. “Mulowooza nannyini nnimiro abalimi abo alibakola atya?
16 Uzakuza, ababhubhise labobalimi, anikele isivini kwabanye. Bekuzwa basebesithi: Akungabinjalo!
Agenda kujja abazikirize bonna, n’ennimiro agiwe abalala.” Awo bwe baabiwulira ebyo ne bagamba nti, “Ekintu ng’ekyo kireme kubaawo!”
17 Kodwa wabakhangela wathi: Pho kuyini lokhu okulotshiweyo, okuthi: Ilitshe abakhi abalalayo, yilo eseliyinhloko yengonsi?
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 Wonke owela phezu kwalelolitshe, uzaphahlazwa; kodwa loba ngubani eliwela phezu kwakhe, lizamchoboza.
Omuntu yenna agwa ku jjinja eryo alibetentebwa, na buli gwe lirigwako lirimubetenta.”
19 Abapristi abakhulu lababhali basebedinga ukumbamba ngezandla ngalelohola, kodwa besaba abantu; ngoba baqedisisa ukuthi wayekhuluma lumfanekiso emelane labo.
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 Basebemqaphela, bethuma inhloli, ezazitshaya ezilungileyo, ukuze bambambe ekukhulumeni, ukuze bamnikele egunyeni lemandleni ombusi.
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 Bambuza-ke, besithi: Mfundisi, siyazi ukuthi wena ukhuluma ufundise ngokuqondileyo, kawemukeli buso, kodwa ufundisa indlela kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso.
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 Sivunyelwe yini ukuthela kuKesari, kumbe hatshi?
Kyetuva tukubuuza nti kituufu okuwa Kayisaali omusolo oba si kituufu?”
23 Kodwa wabubona ubuqili babo, wathi kubo: Lingilingelani?
Yesu n’ategeera mangu obukuusa bwabwe, n’abagamba nti,
24 Ngitshengisani udenariyo; ulomfanekiso lombhalo kabani? Basebephendula besithi: OkaKesari.
“Mundage ensimbi eya ffeeza. Ekifaananyi kino ekiriko ky’ani? N’erinnya lino ly’ani?” Ne baddamu nti, “Bya Kayisaali.”
25 Wasesithi kubo: Ngakho nikani uKesari okukaKesari, loNkulunkulu okukaNkulunkulu.
N’abagamba nti, “Kale ebya Kayisaali mubiwenga Kayisaali, n’ebya Katonda mubiwenga Katonda.”
26 Basebesehluleka ukumbamba ngelizwi lakhe phambi kwabantu; basebemangaliswa yimpendulo yakhe, bathula.
Ne balemwa okumukwasa mu ebyo bye yaddamu ng’abantu bonna bali awo. Bye yaddamu ne bibeewuunyisa nnyo, ne basirika busirisi.
27 Kwasekusiza kuye abathile babaSadusi, abaphika besithi kakukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, bambuza,
Awo abamu ku Basaddukaayo abatakkiririza mu kuzuukira, ne bajja eri Yesu, ne bamubuuza nti,
28 besithi: Mfundisi, uMozisi wasibhalela ukuthi: Uba kusifa umfowabo womuntu elomkakhe, lo abesesifa engelamntwana, umfowabo kamthathe umfazi, abesemvusela inzalo umfowabo.
“Omuyigiriza, amateeka ga Musa gagamba nti ssinga omusajja omufumbo afa nga tazadde baana, muganda we awasenga nnamwandu alyoke afunire muganda we omufu ezzadde.
29 Ngakho kwakulezelamani eziyisikhombisa; owokuqala wasethatha umfazi, wafa engelamntwana;
Waaliwo abooluganda musanvu, asinga obukulu n’awasa, kyokka n’afa nga talese mwana.
30 lowesibili wamthatha umfazi, laye lo wafa engelamntwana;
Adda ku mufu n’awasa nnamwandu; kyokka naye n’afa nga tazadde mwana.
31 lowesithathu wamthatha. Kwaba njalo-ke lakwabayisikhombisa; abatshiyanga abantwana, bafa.
Okutuusa abooluganda bonna lwe baafa ne baggwaawo nga buli omu awasizza ku nnamwandu oyo, kyokka nga tewali alese mwana.
32 Ekucineni kwabo bonke kwafa lomfazi.
Oluvannyuma n’omukazi naye n’afa.
33 Ngakho ekuvukeni kwabafileyo, uzafika abe ngumkabani kubo? Ngoba abayisikhombisa babelaye engumkabo.
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 kodwa labo okuzathiwa bafanele ukuzuza lowomhlaba lokuvuka kwabafileyo kabathathani, kabendiswa; (aiōn g165)
Naye abo abasaanyizibwa okuzuukira mu bafu bwe batuuka mu ggulu tebawasa wadde okufumbirwa, (aiōn g165)
36 ngoba bengelakuphinda bafe; ngoba banjengezingilosi, njalo bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, bengabantwana bokuvuka.
era tebaddayo kufa nate, kubanga baba nga bamalayika. Era baba baana ba Katonda kubanga baba bazuukizibbwa mu bulamu obuggya,
37 Kodwa ukuthi abafileyo bayavuswa, loMozisi wakutshengisa esihlahleni, lapho eyibiza iNkosi ngokuthi nguNkulunkulu kaAbrahama loNkulunkulu kaIsaka loNkulunkulu kaJakobe.
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 Futhi kayisuye uNkulunkulu wabafileyo, kodwa owabaphilayo; ngoba bonke baphilela yena.
Kino kitegeeza nti ssi Katonda wa bafu wabula Katonda wa balamu, kubanga bonna balamu gy’ali.”
39 Abathile bababhali basebephendula bathi: Mfundisi, ukhulume kuhle.
Abamu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka ne bagamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, ozzeemu bulungi!”
40 Njalo kababanga lesibindi sokuphinda bambuze ulutho.
Ne watabaawo ayaŋŋanga kwongera kumubuuza bibuuzo birala.
41 Wasesithi kubo: Batsho njani ukuthi uKristu uyiNdodana kaDavida?
Awo Yesu n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki Kristo ayitibwa Omwana wa Dawudi?
42 Ngoba uDavida uqobo lwakhe uthi encwadini yeziHlabelelo: INkosi yathi eNkosini yami: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami,
Songa Dawudi amwogerako mu Zabbuli nti, “‘Katonda yagamba Mukama wange nti, Tuula ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo
43 ngize ngenze izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakho.
okutuusa lwe ndifuula abalabe bo entebe y’ebigere byo.’
44 Ngakho uDavida umbiza ngokuthi yiNkosi, pho uyindodana yakhe njani?
Noolwekyo obanga Dawudi amuyita Mukama we, kale ayinza atya okuba omwana we?”
45 Kwathi besalalele abantu bonke, wathi kubafundi bakhe:
Awo abantu bonna nga bawulira, Yesu n’akyukira abayigirizwa be n’abagamba nti,
46 Xwayani ababhali abathanda ukuhamba bembethe izembatho ezinde, njalo bethanda ukubingelelwa emidangeni, lezihlalo eziqakathekileyo emasinagogeni, lezihlalo zabahloniphekayo ezilayelweni;
“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 abadla izindlu zabafelokazi, bekhuleka isikhathi eside ngokuzenzisa. Laba bazakwemukela ukulahlwa okukhulu.
Balimbalimba nga basaba essaala empanvu, ng’eno bwe basala enkwe okunyaga ebintu bya bannamwandu. Noolwekyo bagenda kufuna ekibonerezo ekisingira ddala obunene.”
