Luka 20
1 Ikawa siku moja, Yesu alipokuwa akiwafundisha watu Hekaluni na kuhubiri injili, makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria walimwendea pamoja na wazee.
And it came to pass on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the good news, the chief priests and the scholars with the elders stood near.
2 Walizungumza, wakimwambia, 'Tuambie ni kwa mamlaka gani unafanya mambo haya? Au ni nani huyo ambaye amekupa mamlaka haya? “
And they spoke, saying to him, Tell us, by what authority are thou doing these things? Or who is he who gave thee this authority?
3 Naye akajibu, akawaambia, 'Nami pia nitawauliza swali. Niambieni
And having answered, he said to them, I also will ask you one word, and ye tell me.
4 ubatizo wa Yohana. Je, ulitoka mbinguni ama kwa watu? '
The immersion of John, was it from heaven or from men?
5 Lakini wakajadiliana wao kwa wao, wakisema, 'Tukisema, `litoka mbinguni, atatuuliza, ` Basi, mbona hamkumwamini?'
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
6 Na tukisema; ilitoka kwa wanadamu; watu wote hapa watatupiga mawe, maana wote wanaamini kwamba Yohana alikuwa nabii. '
But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are convinced John is a prophet.
7 Basi, wakamjibu ya kwamba hawakujua ilikotoka.
And they replied not to know from where.
8 Yesu akawaambia, '“Wala mimi siwaambii ninyi ni kwa mamlaka gani ninafanya mambo haya.”
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 Aliwaambia watu mfano huu, “Mtu mmoja alipanda shamba la mizabibu, akalikodisha kwa wakulima wa mizabibu, na akaenda nchi nyingine kwa muda mrefu.
And he began to speak this parable to the people. A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to farmers, and went abroad for a considerable time.
10 Kwa muda uliopangwa, alimtuma mtumishi kwa wakulima mizabibu, kwamba wampe sehemu ya matunda ya shamba la mizabibu. Lakini wakulima wa mzabibu wakampiga, wakamrudisha mikono- mitupu.
And at the season he sent a bondman to the farmers, so that they would give him from the fruit of the vineyard. But having beaten him, the farmers sent him away empty.
11 Kisha akamtuma tena mtumishi mwingine na nao wakampiga, kumtendea vibaya, na wakamrudisha mikono- mitupu.
And he proceeded to send another bondman. And they, having beaten and shamefully treated, sent him also away empty.
12 Alimtuma tena wa tatu na nao wakamjeruhi na kumtupa nje.
And he proceeded to send a third. And they also having wounded this man, cast him out.
13 Hivyo bwana wa shamba akasema, 'Nitafanya nini? Nitamtuma mwanangu mpendwa. Labda watamheshimu. '
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will be made ashamed after seeing this man.
14 Lakini wakulima wa mzabibu walipomwona, walijadili wao kwa wao wakisema, `Huyu ndiye mrithi. Tumuue, ili urithi wake uwe wetu. '
But when the farmers saw him, they deliberated among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, so that the inheritance may become ours.
15 Wakamtoa nje ya shamba la mizabibu na kumuua. Je bwana shamba atawafanya nini?
And having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Atakuja kuwaangamiza wakulima wa mzabibu, na atawapa shamba hilo wengine”. 'Nao waliposikia hayo, wakasema, 'Mungu amekataa'
He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. And having heard it, they said, May it not happen!
17 Lakini Yesu akawatazama, akasema, “Je andiko hili lina maana gani? 'Jiwe walilolikataa wajenzi, limekuwa jiwe la pembeni'?
But having looked upon them, he said, What then is this that is written, The stone that those who build rejected, this became the head of the corner?
18 Kila mtu aangukaye juu ya jiwe hilo, atavunjika vipande vipande. Lakini yule ambaye litamwangukia, litamponda. '
Every man who falls on that stone will be broken, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust.
19 Hivyo waandishi na wakuu wa makuhani walitafuta njia ya kumkamata wakati huohuo, walijua kwamba alikuwa amesema mfano huu dhidi yao. Lakini waliwaogopa watu.
And the chief priests and the scholars sought to throw hands on him in the same hour. And they were afraid, for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.
20 Walimuangalia kwa makini, wakatuma wapelelezi waliojifanya kuwa watu wa haki, ili wapate kupata kosa kwa hotuba yake, ili kumpelekakwa watawala na wenye mamlaka.
And having watched him, they sent forth insidious men pretending themselves to be righteous, so that they might take hold of his word, in order to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
21 Nao wakamwuliza, wakisema, “Mwalimu, tunajua kwamba unasema na kufundisha mambo ya kweli na si kushawishiwa na mtu yeyote, lakini wewe hufundisha ukweli kuhusu njia ya Mungu.
And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou speak and teach rightly, and thou do not accept a personage, but teach the way of God in truth,
22 Je, ni halali kwetu kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari, au la?”
Is it permitted for us to give tribute to Caesar or not?
23 Lakini Yesu alitambua mtego wao, akawaambia,
But having perceived their craftiness, he said to them, Why do ye try me?
24 “Nionyesheni dinari. Sura na chapa ya nani ipo juu yake?” Walisema, '“Ya Kaisari.”
Display to me a denarius. Whose image and inscription has it? And having answered, they said, Caesar's.
25 Naye akawaambia, 'Basi, mpeni Kaisari yaliyo yake Kaisari, na Mungu yaliyo yake Mungu.'
And he said to them, Then render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.
26 Waandishi na wakuu wa makuhani hawakuwa na uwezo wa kukosoa kile alichosema mbele ya watu. Wakastaajabia majibu yake na hawakusema chochote.
And they were unable to lay hold of his word before the people. And having marveled at his answer, they were silent.
27 Baadhi ya Masadukayo wakamwendea, wale ambao wanasema kwamba hakuna ufufuo,
And some of the Sadducees having approached, those who say there is no resurrection, they questioned him,
28 wakamwuliza, wakisema, “Mwalimu, Musa alituandikia kwamba kama mtu akifiwa na ndugu mwenye mke ambaye hana mtoto basi anapaswa kumchukuna mke wa ndugu yake na kuzaa nae kwa ajili ya kaka yake.
saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, if any brother dies, having a wife, and this man dies childless, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 Kulikuwa na ndugu saba Wa kwanza alioa, akafa bila kuacha mtoto,
There were therefore seven brothers. And the first having taken a wife, died childless.
30 na wa pili pia.
And the second took the woman, and this man died childless.
31 Wa tatu akamchukua vilevile, vivyo hivyo wa saba hakuacha watoto na akafa.
And the third likewise took her, and likewise also the seven; they left behind no children, and died.
32 Baadaye yule mwanamke pia akafa.
And last of all the woman also died.
33 Katika ufufuo atakuwa mke wa nani? Maana wote saba walikuwa wamemwoa. '
In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them does she become? For the seven had her as wife.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, The sons of this age marry, and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 Lakini wale wanastaohili kupokea ufufuo wa wafu na kuingia uzima wa milele hawaoi wala hawaolewi. (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 Wala hawawezi kufa tena, kwa sababu huwa sawasawa na malaika na ni watoto wa Mungu, wana wa ufufuo.
For neither can they die any more, for they are like the agents, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 Lakini hiyo wafu wanafufuliwa, hata Musa alionyesha mahali katika habari za kichaka, pale alimwita Bwana kama Mungu wa Ibrahimu na Mungu wa Isaka na Mungu wa Yakobo.
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the Bush when he calls the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Sasa, yeye si Mungu wa wafu, bali wa walio hai, kwa sababu wote huishi kwake. “
Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.
39 Baadhi ya walimu wa Sheria wakamjibu, 'Mwalimu, umejibu vema. '
And some of the scholars having answered, they said, Teacher, thou said well.
40 Hawakuthubutu kumwuliza maswali mengine zaidi.
For they no longer dared to question him anything.
41 Yesu akawaambia, “Ki vipi watu wanasema kwamba Kristo ni mwana wa Daudi?
And he said to them, How do they say the Christ is David's son?
42 Maana Daudi mwenyewe anasema katika Zaburi: Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu: Keti mkono wa kulia,
Even David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
43 mpaka niwaweke adui zako chini ya miguu yako. '
until I will place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
44 Daudi anamwita Kristo 'Bwana', basi atakuwaje mwana wa Daudi?”
David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 Watu wote walipokuwa wakimsikiliza akawaambia wanafunzi wake,
And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,
46 'Jihadharini na waandishi, wapendao kutembea wamevaa mavazi marefu, na wapenda salamu maalum sokoni na viti vya heshima katika masinagogi, na maeneo ya heshima karamuni.
Beware of the scholars, who desire to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at the feasts,
47 Wao pia hula nyumba za wajane, na wanajifanya wanasali sala ndefu. Hawa watapokea hukumu kubwa zaidi. '
who devour widows' houses, and in pretence make long prayers. These will receive greater damnation.
