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.
On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and proclaiming the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
2 Balepusheti, “Kotwambila, nomba ningofucini nshokute pakwinsa bintu ibi? Wakupa ngofu shakwinsa ibi bintu niyani?”
They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
3 Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Nenjame ndamwipushunga mwipusho umo. Kamungambilani,
He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 Nomba niyani walapa Yohane ngofu shakubatisha? Sena ni Lesa nambi nibantu?”
the immersion of Yochanan, was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 Nabo balatatika kwipushana bonka eti, “Na twambeti, ni Lesa, nendi natwipusheti, ‘Nomba nicani muliya kumushoma?
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
6 Lino na twambeti, nibantu, bantu bonse nibatuwale mabwe pakwinga bacinsheti Yohane walikuba mushinshimi.”
But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that Yochanan was a prophet.”
7 Neco balakumbuleti, “Nkatucinshi na walashifunya kupeyo.”
They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
8 Lino Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Nenjame anu nteshi ndimwambile uyo walampa ngofu shakwinsa bintu ibi.”
Yeshua said to them, “Neither will I tell 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.
He began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to some farmers, 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.
At the proper season, he sent a servant to the farmers to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty.
11 Mwine libala walatumako naumbi musebenshi. Neye balamuma, ne kumusebanya, kayi nekumutandanya kwakubula kantu mumakasa.
He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Lino walatumako naumbi wabutatu, nsombi neye balamupwayaula nekumutaila kunsa.
He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
13 Lino mwine libala uyo walambeti, “Ninjiseconi lino? Anu nintumeko mwaname ngonsunishi mpani nendi nibenga bamupe bulemu.”
The lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. It may be that seeing him, they will respect him.’
14 Nsombi balimi abo mpobalamubona, balatatika kwambilaneti, “Uyu endiye weshi akapyane buboni bonse, katumushina kwambeti buboni bonse bukabe bwetu.”
“But when the farmers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s 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?
Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Nakese akubashina balimi abo nekupa bambi libala ilyo.” Bantu basa mpobalanyumfweco balambeti, “Citakenshika.”
He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard that, they said, “May that never be!”
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 at them and said, “Then what is this that is written, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the chief cornerstone’?
18 Muntu uliyense weshi akawile pa libwe ili nakatyokauke. Nsombi uyo weshi likamulakile, nakasansauke.”
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
19 Beshikwiyisha Milawo ne bamakulene beshimilumbo bali kuyanda kwikata Yesu pacindi copeleco pakwinga balenshibeti Yesu walikwamba endibo mumukoshanyo uyo. Nsombi balatina bantu balikubapo.
The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken 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.
They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and 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.
They asked him, “Rabbi, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach 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 pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 Nomba Yesu walenshiba miyeyo yabo yaipa walabambileti,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
24 “Kamundesha mali, nomba cinso ne lina lilipo nilyabani?” Balakumbuleti, “Byonse nibya mwami waku Loma.”
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
25 Lino neye walakumbuleti, “Kamubengani ku mwami waku Loma bintu byakendi, Neco neye Lesa mupeni bintu byakendi.”
He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26 Neco balalilwa kucana mulandu mulibyo mbyalamba pamenso abantu. Lino balapwilwa mano pakukumbula kwa Yesu, balamwenowa tonto.
They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
27 Basaduki nabambi balesa kuli Yesu. Bantu aba bali kwambeti bantu bafwa nteshi bakapundukepo. Balamwipusha Yesu eti,
Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
28 “Bashikwiyisha, Mose watulembela Milawo yakwambeti, Na muntu lafu, nekushiya mukashendi, kwakubula mwana, mukwabo welela kumweba mukalubingi kwambeti asemenemo bana bamukwabo uyo walafwa.”
They asked him, “Rabbi, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies having a wife, and he is childless, his brother should take the wife and raise up children for his brother.
29 Lino kwalikuba batuloba basanu ne babili pamukowa, mukulene bantu waleba mukashi, nsombi walafwa katana asemenamo mwana.
There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 Neye wabubili walamupyana mukashi nomba neye walafwa katana asemenamo mwana,
The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31 Wabutatu walamupyana neye walafwa katana asemenamo mwana. Lino bonse basa basanu ne babili balapwa kufwa kwakubula kusemenamo bana mumutukashi uyo.
The third took her, and likewise the seven all 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.”
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
Yeshua said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 Nsombi abo beti bakapundushiwe kubafu nekwikala mubuyumi bulesanga, nteshi bakebanenga. (aiōn g165)
But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age 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 they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children 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 at the bush, when he called the Lord ‘The God of Abraham, 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 are alive to him.”
39 Beshikwiyisha Milawo nabambi balakumbuleti, “Bashikwiyisha mulamba cena”
Some of the scribes answered, “Rabbi, you speak well.”
40 Neco baliya kuyanda kumwipushapo Yesu mipusho naimbi.
They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
41 Yesu walabepusheti, “nipacebo cini bantu bakute kwambeti Mupulushi Walaiwa nimwanendi Dafeti?”
He said to them, “Why do they say that the Messiah is David’s son?
42 Pakwinga Dafeti mwine mulibuku lya kutembaula walambeti, “Mwami walambila Mwami wakame eti, Ikala kulikasa lyakame lyakululyo
David himself says in the scroll of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
43 kushikila nkasandule balwani bakobe, bakabe pakulyata myendo yakobe.”
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
44 “Na Dafeti mwine walamukuweti, Mwami, nomba ngobeconi mwanendi?”
“David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
45 Bantu bonse mpobalikunyumfwa mbyalikwamba Yesu, nendi walabambila beshikwiya bakendi eti,
In the hearing of all the people, he said to 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 those scribes who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best 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 pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
