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 of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and publishing the good tidings, the chief priests, and the scribes, with the elders, came upon him,
2 na wamgambira, “Gutugambiri, gutenda vintu vyoseri avi kwa uwezu wa gaa? Ndo gaa yakakupiti uwezu wa kutenda aga?”
saying, Tell us by what authority you do these things; or who is he that empowered you?
3 Yesu kawankula, “Vinu naneni hanuwakosiyi. Mung'ambiri,
He answering, said to them, I also have a question to put to you. Tell me, then,
4 uwezu wa kubatiza wa Yohani Mbatiza ulawiti kumpindi ama ulawiti kwa wantu?”
Was the commission which John had to immerse, from heaven, or from men?
5 Womberi wanjiti kuligambirana weni, “Hatulongi hashi? Patulonga, ‘Ulawiti kumpindi,’ yomberi hakatakuli, ‘Iwera hashi munjimira ndiri?’
But they reasoned thus among themselves, If we say, From heaven, he will reply, Why, then, 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.”
And if we say, From men, all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Su wamwankula, “Tuvimana ndiri uwezu wakuwi ulawiti koshi.”
They therefore answered, that they could not tell whence.
8 Yesu kawagambira, “Vira neni hapeni nuwagambirani ntenda vitwatira avi kwa uwezu wa gaa.”
Jesus replied, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do 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 spoke to the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and farmed it out, and having traveled, continued long abroad.
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.
The season being come, he sent a servant to the husbandmen, to receive of the produce of the vineyard; but they beat him, and sent him back empty.
11 Su kamtumiti ntumintumi gwingi, kumbiti wakulima walii wamkoma kayi na kumtendera vidoda, na wamwuziya ukaya mawoku hera.
Afterward, he sent another servant, whom they, having beaten, and used shamefully, also sent away empty.
12 Kamtumiti ntumintumi gwa tatu, wakulima wamkoma mpaka kawera na vironda, shakapanu wamuwingawinga.
He afterward dispatched a third to them. Him, likewise, they wounded and drove away.
13 Mweni kana lirambu kalikosiya, ‘Hantendi hashi? Hanumtumi mwana gwangu yanumfira, neni wera na unakaka hawamupanani ligoya!’
Then the proprietor of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; they will surely reverence him, when they see him.
14 Kumbiti wakulima walii pawamwoniti, wanja kuligambira, ‘Ayu ndo mhala gwakuwi. Tumlagi, uhala wakuwi hawuweri wa twenga!’
But when then husbandmen saw him, they reasoned thus among themselves, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be our own.
15 Su wamlaviya kunja kulirambu, wamlaga.” Yesu kawakosiya, “Yakana lirambu ulii hakawatendi hashi wakulima walii?
And having thrust him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What, therefore, will the proprietor 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 destroy those husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others. And some of his hearers said, God forbid.
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.’
Jesus, looking on them, said, What, then, means that expression of scripture, "A stone which the builders rejected, is made the head of the corner.
18 Muntu yoseri pakaguwa pampindi pa libuwi hakamegeki vipandi vipandi, na libuwi palimtulukira muntu yoseri, halimtendi.”
Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be bruised; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will crush him to pieces"?
19 Wafunda wa Malagaliru na watambika wakulu wafiriti kumbata, toziya wavimaniti mfanu agu guweriti kankuwatakula womberi, kumbiti palii wawatiriti wantu.
At that time, the chief priests and the scribes, knowing that he had spoken this parable against them, would have laid hands on him, but feared 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.
And they watched him, and set spies upon him, instructing them to personate conscientious men, and surprise him in his words, that they might deliver him to the power and authority of the procurator.
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.
These accosted him with this question, Rabbi, we know that you speak and teach uprightly, and that, without respect of persons, you faithfully recommend the way of God.
22 Gutugambiri, handa vya halali ama vyahalali ndiri kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari!”
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Cesar, or not?
23 Kumbiti Yesu kavimaniti shawafira na kawagambira,
He perceiving their subtlety, answered,
24 “Mnanguziyi mpiya. Sheni sha mumpiya sha gaa na malembu yagalembwa mumpiya?” Wamwankula, “vya Kaisari.”
Why would you entangle me? Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription has it? They answered, Cesar's.
25 Su Yesu kawagambira, “Su vya Kaisari mpanani Kaisari na vya Mlungu mpanani Mlungu.”
He replied, Render, therefore, to Cesar, that which is Cesar's, and to God, that which is God's.
26 Waweza ndiri kumbata kwa shisoweru shoseri palii palongolu pa wantu, su wanyamaliti, pawalikangasha ntambu yakawankuliti.
Thus they could not surprise him in his discourses before the people; wherefore, admiring his answer, they kept silence.
27 Shakapanu Masadukayu wamu, yawalongaga wantu yawahowa hapeni wazyuki, wamwiziriti Yesu na kulonga,
Afterward, some of the Sadducees, who deny a future state, came to 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.’
with this question: Rabbi, Moses has enjoined in his writings, that a man whose brother dies childless, outlived by his wife, shall marry the widow, and raise issue to his brother.
29 Vinu kuweriti na walongu saba. Mkulu yakalongoleriti kumyuga kahowa pakaleka ndiri mwana.
Now there were seven brothers; the first of whom, having taken a wife, died childless;
30 Mlongu gwa pili kamuyuga mdala mkenja ulii,
the second married the widow, and also died childless;
31 na mlongu gwa tatu ntambu ira, vitwatira viweriti vira virii kwa woseri saba, wahowiti pawaleka ndiri wana.
the third married her, as did likewise the rest; and all seven died, leaving no children.
32 Upeleru wakuwi na mdala mkenja ulii kahowiti vira.
Last of all, the woman also died.
33 Vinu mulishaka lya wahowiti kuzyuka, mdala ulii hakaweri gwa gaa? Toziya woseri saba wamuyugiti.”
To which of them, therefore, will she be wife, at the resurrection; for she had been married to all the seven?
Jesus answering, said to them, The people of this world 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, among them who shall be honored to share in the resurrection, and the other world, there will be neither marrying nor giving in marriage; (aiōn g165)
36 Hawaweri gambira wantumintumi wa kumpindi na hapeni wahowi. Womberi ndo wana wa Mlungu, toziya wazyuka kulawa kwa wahowiti.
for they can not die any more; because, like the angels, they are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
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.
But that the dead are raised, even Moses has suggested, calling the Lord who appeared in the bush, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Mlungu ndo gwa yawawera wakomu, na Mlungu ndiri gwa wahowiti, kwakuwi woseri walikala.”
Now he is not a God of the dead, but of the living; for they are all alive to him.
39 Wafunda wamu wa Malagaliru watakula, “mfunda guwankula weri!”
Then some of the scribes said to him, Rabbi, you have spoken well.
40 Watakuliti hangu toziya wasinditi kumkosiya kayi makosiwu gamonga.
After that, they did not venture to ask him any more questions.
41 Yesu kawakosiya, “Watakula hashi kulonga Kristu kawera mwana gwa Dawudi?
And he said to them, Why is it affirmed that the Messiah must be a son of David?
42 Mweni Dawudi kalemba kala mushintola sha Zaburi, ‘Mtuwa kamgambiriti Mtuwa gwangu, Gwikali kumliwu kwaneni
Yet David himself says, in the book of the Psalms, "The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand,
43 Mpaka nuwatuli wangondu waku kuwera shiti sha kutulila magulu gaku.’
till I make thy foes thy footstool."
44 Dawudi kamshemiti yomberi, ‘Mtuwa.’ Hayiweri hashi Mesiya kaweri mwana gwa Dawudi?”
As David thus calls him his Lord, how can he be David's son?
45 Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi kulongolu kwa wantu woseri,
Then, in the audience of all the people, he 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, who love to walk in robes, and affect salutations in public places, and the principal seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost places at feasts;
47 Wawagambira wakenja mpayu na kuwapoka numba zyawu na pawaluwa Mlungu luwi ntali! Azabu yawu hayiweri nkulu nentu!”
who devour the families of widows, and make long prayers for a disguise. These shall suffer the severest punishment.
