Luka 20
1 Lishaka limu Yesu kaweriti kankuwafunda wantu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na kuvibwera visoweru viwagira, watambika wakulu na wafunda wa Malagaliru, pamuhera na wazewi, wiziti
One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.
2 na wamgambira, “Gutugambiri, gutenda vintu vyoseri avi kwa uwezu wa gaa? Ndo gaa yakakupiti uwezu wa kutenda aga?”
“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”
3 Yesu kawankula, “Vinu naneni hanuwakosiyi. Mung'ambiri,
“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:
4 uwezu wa kubatiza wa Yohani Mbatiza ulawiti kumpindi ama ulawiti kwa wantu?”
John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 Womberi wanjiti kuligambirana weni, “Hatulongi hashi? Patulonga, ‘Ulawiti kumpindi,’ yomberi hakatakuli, ‘Iwera hashi munjimira ndiri?’
They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’
6 Kumbiti patulonga, ‘Ulawa kwa wantu,’ lipinga lyoseri lya wantu panu hawatugumi mabuhi, toziya woseri wavimaniti kuwera Yohani kaweriti mbuyi gwa Mlungu.”
But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”
7 Su wamwankula, “Tuvimana ndiri uwezu wakuwi ulawiti koshi.”
So they answered that they did not know where it was from.
8 Yesu kawagambira, “Vira neni hapeni nuwagambirani ntenda vitwatira avi kwa uwezu wa gaa.”
And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”
9 Yesu kawagambiriti wantu mfanu agu, “Kweniti na muntu yakayaliti mizyabibu mulirambu, kawazimila wakulima na mweni kagenditi mwanja, kalikaliti kulii shipindi shivuwa.
Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.
10 Shipindi sha kubenanga zyabibu shisokiti, kamtumiti mmanda kagendi kwa wakulima, kakatoli seemu ya mabenangu ga lirambu lya mizyabibu. Kumbiti wakulima wamkomanga ntumintumi ulii na wamuwuziya ukaya mawoku hera.
At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.
11 Su kamtumiti ntumintumi gwingi, kumbiti wakulima walii wamkoma kayi na kumtendera vidoda, na wamwuziya ukaya mawoku hera.
So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.
12 Kamtumiti ntumintumi gwa tatu, wakulima wamkoma mpaka kawera na vironda, shakapanu wamuwingawinga.
Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.
13 Mweni kana lirambu kalikosiya, ‘Hantendi hashi? Hanumtumi mwana gwangu yanumfira, neni wera na unakaka hawamupanani ligoya!’
‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’
14 Kumbiti wakulima walii pawamwoniti, wanja kuligambira, ‘Ayu ndo mhala gwakuwi. Tumlagi, uhala wakuwi hawuweri wa twenga!’
But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
15 Su wamlaviya kunja kulirambu, wamlaga.” Yesu kawakosiya, “Yakana lirambu ulii hakawatendi hashi wakulima walii?
So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
16 Hakizi kuwalaga wakulima woseri, na hakawapanani wakulima wamonga lirambu lilii lya mizyabibu.” Wantu pawapikaniriti, watakula, “Iwezekana ndiri!”
He will come and kill those tenants, and will give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”
17 Yesu kawaloliti na kukosiya, “Su Malembu aga Mananagala gana mana gaa? ‘Libuwi lyawalilemiti wanyawa wa numba, vinu ligalambuka na liwera libuwi lyaliwera na mana nentu kuliku goseri.’
But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
18 Muntu yoseri pakaguwa pampindi pa libuwi hakamegeki vipandi vipandi, na libuwi palimtulukira muntu yoseri, halimtendi.”
Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
19 Wafunda wa Malagaliru na watambika wakulu wafiriti kumbata, toziya wavimaniti mfanu agu guweriti kankuwatakula womberi, kumbiti palii wawatiriti wantu.
When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.
20 Su waweriti wankusakula shipindi shifaa. Wawapanani wantu wamu mpiya walitendi waheri, su wawatuma wagendi kumjera Yesu kwa kumkosiya, su wawezi kumbata na kumjega kwa wakulu wa serikali ya Rumi.
So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.
21 Walolalo walii wamgambira Yesu, “mfunda, tuvimana ntambu yagutakula na kufunda vitwatira vya nakaka. Tuvimana gwenga gwahera ubagula kwa muntu yoseri ulii, kumbiti gwenga gufunda unakaka wa vintu vyakafira Mlungu.
“Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
22 Gutugambiri, handa vya halali ama vyahalali ndiri kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari!”
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
23 Kumbiti Yesu kavimaniti shawafira na kawagambira,
But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,
24 “Mnanguziyi mpiya. Sheni sha mumpiya sha gaa na malembu yagalembwa mumpiya?” Wamwankula, “vya Kaisari.”
“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.
25 Su Yesu kawagambira, “Su vya Kaisari mpanani Kaisari na vya Mlungu mpanani Mlungu.”
So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
26 Waweza ndiri kumbata kwa shisoweru shoseri palii palongolu pa wantu, su wanyamaliti, pawalikangasha ntambu yakawankuliti.
And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people; and amazed at His answer, they fell silent.
27 Shakapanu Masadukayu wamu, yawalongaga wantu yawahowa hapeni wazyuki, wamwiziriti Yesu na kulonga,
Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.
28 “mfunda, Musa katulembiriti Lilagaliru ali, ‘Muntu pakahowa na kumleka mdala yakahera mwana, mpaka mlongu gwakuwi kamtoli mkenja ulii su kamleleri wana mlongu gwakuwi yakahowiti.’
“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.
29 Vinu kuweriti na walongu saba. Mkulu yakalongoleriti kumyuga kahowa pakaleka ndiri mwana.
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife, but died childless.
30 Mlongu gwa pili kamuyuga mdala mkenja ulii,
Then the second
31 na mlongu gwa tatu ntambu ira, vitwatira viweriti vira virii kwa woseri saba, wahowiti pawaleka ndiri wana.
and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.
32 Upeleru wakuwi na mdala mkenja ulii kahowiti vira.
And last of all, the woman died.
33 Vinu mulishaka lya wahowiti kuzyuka, mdala ulii hakaweri gwa gaa? Toziya woseri saba wamuyugiti.”
So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 kumbiti wapalu na wadala weni Mlungu hakawatangi kuwera mushipindi sha kuzyuka, hapeni wapalu wayugi wala wadala kuyugwa. (aiōn g165)
But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 Hawaweri gambira wantumintumi wa kumpindi na hapeni wahowi. Womberi ndo wana wa Mlungu, toziya wazyuka kulawa kwa wahowiti.
In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.
37 Kumbiti Musa kalanguziyiti weri kuwera yawahowiti hawazyuki. Mumalembu Mananagala galembitwi shakatakuliti Mtuwa ndo Mlungu gwa Aburahamu, na Mlungu gwa Isaka, na Mlungu gwa Yakobu.
Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
38 Mlungu ndo gwa yawawera wakomu, na Mlungu ndiri gwa wahowiti, kwakuwi woseri walikala.”
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”
39 Wafunda wamu wa Malagaliru watakula, “mfunda guwankula weri!”
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”
40 Watakuliti hangu toziya wasinditi kumkosiya kayi makosiwu gamonga.
And they did not dare to question Him any further.
41 Yesu kawakosiya, “Watakula hashi kulonga Kristu kawera mwana gwa Dawudi?
Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?
42 Mweni Dawudi kalemba kala mushintola sha Zaburi, ‘Mtuwa kamgambiriti Mtuwa gwangu, Gwikali kumliwu kwaneni
For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
43 Mpaka nuwatuli wangondu waku kuwera shiti sha kutulila magulu gaku.’
until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’
44 Dawudi kamshemiti yomberi, ‘Mtuwa.’ Hayiweri hashi Mesiya kaweri mwana gwa Dawudi?”
Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
45 Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi kulongolu kwa wantu woseri,
In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,
46 “Muliloleri weri kuusu wafunda wa Malagaliru, weni wafira kugendagenda pawavalira lihabiti na wafira kulamsiwa kwa ligoya pahala pa masoku, weni wasyagula kulivaga pahala pa ligoya munumba zya Mlungu, na pahala paherepa mumsambu,
“Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.
47 Wawagambira wakenja mpayu na kuwapoka numba zyawu na pawaluwa Mlungu luwi ntali! Azabu yawu hayiweri nkulu nentu!”
They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
