Luka 20
1 Ligono limonga, Yesu peavi mukuwula vandu mu Nyumba ya Chapanga na kuvakokosela Lilovi la Bwina, vakulu va kuteta na vawula va malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa na vagogo va Vayawudi, vamhambili.
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 Vakajova, “Utijovelayi! Wikita mambu aga kwa uhotola gani?” Ndi yani mweakupelili uhotola wenuwo?
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 Yesu akavajovela, “Na nene yati nikuvakota likotesi,
And answering, he said unto them—I too, will question, you, as to a matter, —and tell me!
4 wu, uhotola wa Yohani wa kubatiza, wahumili kwa Chapanga amala kwa vandu?”
The immersion of John, Of heaven, was it, or of men?
5 Vakakotana vene kwa vene, “Tikajova wahumili kwa Chapanga, yati akutikota, ‘Ndava kyani mwamsadiki lepi?’
And they deliberated together by themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven, he will say, Wherefore did ye not believe him?
6 Nambu tikajova wahumili kwa vandu, vandu voha yati vakutikoma na maganga, muni woha visadika kuvya Yohani avi mlota wa Chapanga.”
But, if we say, Of men, the people, one and all, will stone us, for, persuaded, they are, that, John, was, a prophet.
7 Vakamyangula, “Timmanyi lepi kwegahumili.”
And they answered, that they knew not whence.
8 Yesu akavajovela, “Na nene nikuvajovela lepi nikita mambu genago kwa uhotola wa yani.”
And, Jesus, said unto them—Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
9 Yesu akayendelela kuvajovela luhumu ulu, “Mundu mmonga alimili mgunda wa mizabibu, avakodishi valimaji, kangi akahamba mulugendu mbaka mulima wa kutali, akatama kwenuko magono gamahele.
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 Lukumbi lwa kubena mizabibu mundu mwenuyo, amtumili mvanda waki akatola lilundu laki kuhuma ku mgunda. Nambu valimaji wa mumgunda wula vakamtova mvanda yula vakamvinga mawoko gawaka.
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 Mkolo mgunda amtumili kavili mvanda yungi, nambu vene mewawa vakamtova na kumliga na kumvinga mawoko gawaka.
And he, further, sent another servant; but, they, beating, that one also, and dishonouring him, sent him away, empty.
12 Kangi akamutuma mvanda wa datu, mwenuyo ndi vakamulemasa na kumtaga kuvala.
And he, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust him out.
13 Mkolo mgunda yula akahololela, ‘Yati nikita kyani? Yati nikumtuma mwana vangu ngayuyoyo wa chiganu, manya mwenuyo yati vakumtopesa.
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 Nambu valimaji vala, pevamuweni, vakajovesana, mwenuyu ndi mhali waki. Hinu timkomayi muni uhali waki uvya witu!’
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 Ndi, vakamuwusa kuvala ya mgunda wula wa mizabibu, vakamukoma.” Yesu akavakota, “Mkolo mgunda yula yati akuvakita kyani valimaji vala?”
And, thrusting him forth outside the vineyard, they slew him. What, then, will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16 “Yati ibwela kuvakoma valimaji venavo, na kuvapela vangi mgunda wenuwo.” Vandu pevayuwini genago, vakajova, “Lepi! Gakotoka kuhumila hati padebe.”
He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and give the vineyard unto others. But, when they heard it, they said—Far be it!
17 Nambu Yesu akavalolokesa na kuvakota. Mayandiku Gamsopi aga mana yaki kyani? Liganga levabeli vajengaji, hinu ndi liganga likulu la kutumbula pakujenga.
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 Mundu yoyoha akagwilila panani ya liganga lenilo yati idenyekana hipandi hipandi, na liganga lenilo lakamgwilila mundu yoyoha ndi likumuyaga nyiminyimi.
Every one who falleth on that stone, will be sorely bruised, but, on whomsoever it shall fall, it will utterly destroy him.
19 Vawula va Malagizu na vakulu va kuteta vamanyili kuvya luhumu lwenuwo ukuvavala vene, ndi vaganayi kumkamula bahapo, nambu vayogwipi vandu.
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 Vamlandili cha papipi. Kangi vakavatuma vamang'omesi, vevajidekisi vandu vabwina muni vamyonja kwa malovi gaki, vakitili genago muni vahotola kumkamula na kumgotola muuhotola wa mkulu wa mkowa.
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 Vamang'omesi vala vakamjovela, “Muwula timanyili kuvya wijova na wiwula mambu gachakaka, wala nakumlola mundu pamihu ndi wiwula uchakaka munjila ya Chapanga.
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 Ndi utijovela, wu! Chabwina amala, lepi tete kulipa kodi kwa nkosi wa ku Loma?”
Is it allowable for us to give, unto Caesar, tribute, or not?
23 Nambu Yesu amanyili likoka lavi, akavajovela,
But, observing their villainy, he said unto them—
24 “Munilangisa salafu ya lishonga. Wu, pamihu na liina ndi vya yani?” Vakamyangula, “Vya nkosi wa ku Loma.”
Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said—Of Caesar.
25 Yesu akavajovela, “Hinu mumpela nkosi wa ku Loma vyaki nkosi wa ku Loma na mumpela Chapanga vyaki Chapanga.”
And, he, said unto them—Well then! render the things of Caesar, unto Caesar, and the things of God, unto God.
26 Vahotwili lepi kumyonjola hati kwa lilovi limonga palongolo ya vandu, vakakangasa kwa mayangula gaki vakaguna.
And they could not lay hold of the saying, before the people; and, marvelling at his answer, they held their peace.
27 Kangi Vasadukayu, vevijova kuvya vevafwili viyuka lepi, vakambwelela Yesu, vakajova,
But there came near certain of the Sadducees, they who say, Resurrection, there is none! and questioned him,
28 “Muwula, Musa atiyandikili ngati mlongo mundu afwili na amlekili mdala waki changali vana, yikumgana mhaja waki amhalayi lipwela mwenuyo, muni ambabakisila vana mlongo waki.
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 Hinu, kwavili na valongo saba va lukolo lumonga. Mhaja wavi agegili mdala, afwili changaleka mwana.
Seven brethren, therefore, there were, —and, the first, taking a wife, died childless,
30 Mbena waki yula akamhala lipwela, mwene mewa afwili changali mwana,
And, the second,
31 hati mbena waki wa datu akamhala, mambu gakavya galagala voha saba vafwili, changali kuvelekisa vana.
and the third, took her, —yea, likewise, even the seven; They left no children, and died:
32 Pamwishu, mdala yula afwili.
Later on, the woman also, died.
33 Wu, palukumbi lwa vevafwili kuyukiswa, mdala yula alavya mdala wa yani? Muni agegiwi na voha saba.”
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 Nambu vala vevahaguliwi na veviganikiwa kupewa wumi wa mulima wula, na kuyukiswa kula kuhuma kwa vevafwili, vigega lepi amala kugegewa. (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 Chakaka vifwa lepi kavili ndava viwanangana na vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga, ndi vana vaki Chapanga, ndava ya kuyukiswa kwavi.
For they cannot, even die any more, —for, equal unto messengers, are they, and are, sons of God, Of the resurrection, being, sons.
37 Hati, Musa atilangisi njwe, kuvya vevafwili yati viyukiswa, mu Mayandiku Gamsopi. Pamihu ga padahi pepiyaka motu, akumuluwula Bambu Chapanga ngati Chapanga wa Ibulahimu na Chapanga wa Izaki na Chapanga wa Yakobo.
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 Mwene, lepi Chapanga wa vevafwili nambu kwa vamumi, ndava muni kwa mwene voha vilama.”
Now, God, he is not, of the dead, but, of the living, —for, all, unto him, do live.
39 Vawula va malagizu vangi va Musa vakajova, “Muwula, uvayangwili hotohoto!”
And certain of the Scribes, answering, said—Teacher! Well, hast thou spoken.
40 Vandu vala vayogwipi kumkota kavili makotesi gangi.
For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.
41 Yesu akavakota, vandu vijova wuli, Kilisitu Msangula ndi mwana wa chiveleku cha Daudi?
And he said unto them—How say they, that, the Christ, is, David’s Son?
42 Muni Daudi mwene ajovili muchitabu cha Zabuli, Bambu, amjovili Bambu wangu, Tama muchiwoko changu cha kulyela
For, David himself, saith, in [the] book of Psalms: Said the Lord, unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
43 hati nivavika makoko vaku pahi pa magendelu gaku.
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
44 Ngati Daudi akumkemela mwene, Bambu, hinu yihotoleka wuli, kuvya mwana waki?
David, therefore, calleth, him Lord: How, then, his son, is he?
45 Yesu avajovili vawuliwa vaki palongolo ya vandu voha,
And, all the people hearing, he said unto the disciples:
46 “Mujiyangalila na vawula va Malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa, vevigana kugendagenda kuni vawalili magwanda gatali. Vigana kujambuswa chakufugwamila pandu pakugulisila vindu, kutama muvigoda vya kulongolo mu nyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi, kutama muvigoda vya kulongolo ku mselebuko.
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 Vinyaga nyumba za vapwela kwa kuchenjela, na viyupa kwa Chapanga lukumbi lutali, muni valolekanayi na vandu kuvya vabwina. Yati vihamuliwa neju kuliku vangi!”
Who devour the houses of widows, and, for a show, are a long time at prayer. These, shall receive, a heavier sentence.
