Luka 20
1 Nabumbi busuba Yesu mpwalikwiyisha nekukambauka Mulumbe Waina mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, bamakulene beshimilumbo, beshikwiyisha Milawo kayi ne bamakulene ba Bayuda balesa.
And it came to pass, on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, there came upon him the chief priests and the scribes with the elders;
2 Balepusheti, “Kotwambila, nomba ningofucini nshokute pakwinsa bintu ibi? Wakupa ngofu shakwinsa ibi bintu niyani?”
and they spake, saying unto him, Tell us: By what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Nenjame ndamwipushunga mwipusho umo. Kamungambilani,
And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask you a question; and tell me:
4 Nomba niyani walapa Yohane ngofu shakubatisha? Sena ni Lesa nambi nibantu?”
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?
5 Nabo balatatika kwipushana bonka eti, “Na twambeti, ni Lesa, nendi natwipusheti, ‘Nomba nicani muliya kumushoma?
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
6 Lino na twambeti, nibantu, bantu bonse nibatuwale mabwe pakwinga bacinsheti Yohane walikuba mushinshimi.”
But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7 Neco balakumbuleti, “Nkatucinshi na walashifunya kupeyo.”
And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was].
8 Lino Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Nenjame anu nteshi ndimwambile uyo walampa ngofu shakwinsa bintu ibi.”
And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
9 Lino Yesu walapitilisha kubambila bantu mukoshanyo eti, Kwalikuba muntu walalima libala lyaminyansa ne kulibwelekesha balimi, lino walaya pabulwendo bwa kucishi nacimbi, uko nkwalekala cindi citali.
And he began to speak unto the people this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country for a long time.
10 Mpocalashika cindi cakutebula bisepo, muntu uyo, walatuma musebenshi wakendi kubalimi abo kwambeti bamupeko bisepo byamulibala lyakendi. Nsombi balimi abo balekata musebenshi uyo nekumuma nekumutandanya kwabula kumupapo kantu.
And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
11 Mwine libala walatumako naumbi musebenshi. Neye balamuma, ne kumusebanya, kayi nekumutandanya kwakubula kantu mumakasa.
And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Lino walatumako naumbi wabutatu, nsombi neye balamupwayaula nekumutaila kunsa.
And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth.
13 Lino mwine libala uyo walambeti, “Ninjiseconi lino? Anu nintumeko mwaname ngonsunishi mpani nendi nibenga bamupe bulemu.”
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will reverence him.
14 Nsombi balimi abo mpobalamubona, balatatika kwambilaneti, “Uyu endiye weshi akapyane buboni bonse, katumushina kwambeti buboni bonse bukabe bwetu.”
But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir; let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15 Neco balamukwelela pansa pa libala nekumushina. Lino Yesu walabepusheti, “Nomba nicani nceshi akense mwine libala kubalimi abo?
And they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16 Nakese akubashina balimi abo nekupa bambi libala ilyo.” Bantu basa mpobalanyumfweco balambeti, “Citakenshika.”
He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
17 Yesu walabalangishisha nekubepusheti, lino malembo ayo akute kwamba cani? “Libwe ilyo ndyobalakana beshikwibaka, lyalaba elibwe lya pakona pa ng'anda lyayandika.
But he looked upon them, and said, What then is this that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner?
18 Muntu uliyense weshi akawile pa libwe ili nakatyokauke. Nsombi uyo weshi likamulakile, nakasansauke.”
Every one that falleth on that stone shall be broken to pieces; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will scatter him as dust.
19 Beshikwiyisha Milawo ne bamakulene beshimilumbo bali kuyanda kwikata Yesu pacindi copeleco pakwinga balenshibeti Yesu walikwamba endibo mumukoshanyo uyo. Nsombi balatina bantu balikubapo.
And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he spake this parable against them.
20 Neco nabo balikabalangaula cindi caina, balatuma bantu kwambeti bamweleshe, palikulibonesheti balulama mung'ambilo yabo kwambeti bamuteye kose mukwamba, kwambeti benga bamubepeshele kuli bendeleshi, pakwinga neye walikukute ngofu ne bwendeleshi bonse.
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
21 Bantu abo balepusha Yesu eti, “Bashikwiyisha, tucinshi kwambeti mukute kwamba ne kwiyisha byalulama. Nkamukute kulanga eti uyu niyani. Nsombi mukute kwiyisha Milawo ya Lesa cancine ncine.
And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person [of any], but of a truth teachest the way of God:
22 Kamutwambila, sena Milawo ya Lesa yasuminisha kubenga musonko ku mwami waku Loma, nambi nkayasuminisha?”
Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not?
23 Nomba Yesu walenshiba miyeyo yabo yaipa walabambileti,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them,
24 “Kamundesha mali, nomba cinso ne lina lilipo nilyabani?” Balakumbuleti, “Byonse nibya mwami waku Loma.”
Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Cæsar’s.
25 Lino neye walakumbuleti, “Kamubengani ku mwami waku Loma bintu byakendi, Neco neye Lesa mupeni bintu byakendi.”
And he said unto them, Then render unto Cæsar the things that are Cæsar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.
26 Neco balalilwa kucana mulandu mulibyo mbyalamba pamenso abantu. Lino balapwilwa mano pakukumbula kwa Yesu, balamwenowa tonto.
And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Basaduki nabambi balesa kuli Yesu. Bantu aba bali kwambeti bantu bafwa nteshi bakapundukepo. Balamwipusha Yesu eti,
And there came to him certain of the Sadducees, they that say that there is no resurrection;
28 “Bashikwiyisha, Mose watulembela Milawo yakwambeti, Na muntu lafu, nekushiya mukashendi, kwakubula mwana, mukwabo welela kumweba mukalubingi kwambeti asemenemo bana bamukwabo uyo walafwa.”
and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote unto us, that if a man’s brother die, having a wife, and he be childless, his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29 Lino kwalikuba batuloba basanu ne babili pamukowa, mukulene bantu waleba mukashi, nsombi walafwa katana asemenamo mwana.
There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died childless;
30 Neye wabubili walamupyana mukashi nomba neye walafwa katana asemenamo mwana,
and the second:
31 Wabutatu walamupyana neye walafwa katana asemenamo mwana. Lino bonse basa basanu ne babili balapwa kufwa kwakubula kusemenamo bana mumutukashi uyo.
and the third took her; and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.
32 Kumapwilisho, mukashi uyo walafwa neye.
Afterward the woman also died.
33 “Lino pabusuba bwakupunduka kubafu, mukashi uyo nakabe muka bani? Pakwinga bonse bamukowa basanu ne babili balikuba balamwebepo.”
In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had her to wife.
And Jesus said unto them, The sons of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
35 Nsombi abo beti bakapundushiwe kubafu nekwikala mubuyumi bulesanga, nteshi bakebanenga. (aiōn g165)
but they that are accounted worthy to attain to that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (aiōn g165)
36 Nabo nibakekalengeti bangelo, kayi nteshi bakafwepo. Balo nibakabe bana ba Lesa pakwinga balapunduku kubafu.
for neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 Nomba pamakani akupunduka kubafu, neye Mose walambapo, pamakani a cifukusa cisa calikubangila mulilo, pakwinga Mwami walambeti, ‘Ni Lesa wa Abulahamu ni Lesa wa Isaki kayi ni Lesa wa Yakobo.’
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in [the place concerning] the Bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Anu ekwambeti nte Lesa wa bantu bafwa, nsombi Lesa ni Lesa wabantu bayumi, pakwinga pamenso akendi bantu bonse nibayumi.”
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
39 Beshikwiyisha Milawo nabambi balakumbuleti, “Bashikwiyisha mulamba cena”
And certain of the scribes answering said, Teacher, thou hast well said.
40 Neco baliya kuyanda kumwipushapo Yesu mipusho naimbi.
For they durst not any more ask him any question.
41 Yesu walabepusheti, “nipacebo cini bantu bakute kwambeti Mupulushi Walaiwa nimwanendi Dafeti?”
And he said unto them, How say they that the Christ is David’s son?
42 Pakwinga Dafeti mwine mulibuku lya kutembaula walambeti, “Mwami walambila Mwami wakame eti, Ikala kulikasa lyakame lyakululyo
For David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 kushikila nkasandule balwani bakobe, bakabe pakulyata myendo yakobe.”
Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet.
44 “Na Dafeti mwine walamukuweti, Mwami, nomba ngobeconi mwanendi?”
David therefore calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 Bantu bonse mpobalikunyumfwa mbyalikwamba Yesu, nendi walabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti,
And in the hearing of all the people he said unto his disciples,
46 “Kamucenjelani ne beshikwiyisha Milawo. Nabo basuni kwendana kabalibafwala minganjo itali, kwambeti bantu babapenga mitende yabulemu mumisena yamakwebo. Basuni kwikala pabipuna byabulemu mung'anda yakupaililamo ne mumisena yamalyalya.
Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts;
47 Nomba ebakute kulamuna manda bamukalubingi, ne kupaila mipailo itali itali kwambeti bantu bababone. Cakubinga Lesa nakabape mulandu kupita bantu nabambi balabulunga kwinseco.”
who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater condemnation.
