Luke 20
1 On one of these days, when Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple Courts and telling the good news, the chief priests and the teachers of the Law, joined by the elders, confronted him,
Lyubha limo, a Yeshu pubhaliji bhalijiganya bhandu Nniekalu na lunguya Ngani ja Mmbone, ashikalongolele bha bhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila na bhaajiganya bha shalia na bhanangulungwa gubhaikengene,
2 and addressing him, said, “Tell us what authority you have to do these things. Who is it who has given you this authority?”
nigubhaabhushiyenje, “Ntubhalanjile! Genega punkutenda kwa mashili gashi na gani ampele?”
3 “I, too,” said Jesus in reply, “will ask you one question. Give me an answer to it.
A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Numbe nne shinimmuyanje,
4 It is about John’s baptism – was it of divine or of human origin?”
mashili ga a Yowana ga bhatisha kugakopweshele kwa a Nnungu eu kubhandu?”
5 But they began arguing together, “If we say ‘divine,’ he will say ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
Ikabheje bhalabhonji gubhabhalanjilenenje, “Tutendaga kugakoposhele kwa a Nnungu, bhalabho shibhatubhuye, ‘Pakuti mmangaakulupalilanga?’
6 But, if we say ‘human,’ the people will all stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
Na tulugulaga kugakoposhele kubhandu, bhandunji bhowe shibhatukomanje na maganga, pabha bhowe bhanakulupalilanga kuti a Yowana pubhaaliji ankulondola.”
7 So they answered that they did not know its origin.
Bhai, gubhajangulenje, “Tukakukumanya kugakoposhele kwei?”
8 “Then I,” said Jesus, “refuse to tell you what authority I have to do these things.”
A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nkali nne ngammalanjilanga ingutenda ino ngutenda kwa mashili gakeni?”
9 But Jesus began to tell the people this parable – “A man once planted a vineyard, and then let it out to tenants, and went abroad for a long while.
A Yeshu gubhaatanjilenje bhandunji aluno lutango luno, “Bhandu bhamo bhashinkulima nngunda gwa mishabhibhu, nikwaapolekanga nngunda gula bhaalimanga, kungai gubhajabhwile mwanja kwenda kushilambo sha taliya, gubhalonjeye kweneko.
10 At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants, so that they could give him a share of the produce of the vineyard. The tenants, however, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.
Mobha ga maneng'eno, gubhantumile ntumishi jwabho ajende kubhaalimanga bhala, akatole ndalo ya maneng'eno ga nngunda gwa mishabhibhu. Ikabheje bhaalimanga bhala gubhankomilenje ntumishi jula, gubhamminjilenje gwabhujile gwaayoyo.
11 The owner afterward sent another servant; but the tenants beat and insulted this man too, and sent him away empty-handed.
Bhayene nngunda bhala bhakuntumaga ntumishi juna, ikabheje nneila peila gubhankomilenje na kuntokomaya, gubhamminjilenje gwaayoyo.
12 He sent a third; but they wounded this man also, and threw him outside.
Gubhantumile kabhili ntumishi jwatatu, najwalakwe, gubhanng'uleyenje, gubhamminjilenje munngunda mula.”
13 ‘What should I do?’ said the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my son, who is very dear to me. Perhaps they will respect him.’
Bhai bhayene nngunda bhala gubhaganishiye, “Shindende bhuli? ‘Shinintume mwanangu jwa jika jungumpinga peju, pana shibhanng'ishimunji.’
14 But, on seeing him, the tenants consulted with one another. ‘Here is the heir!’ they said. ‘Let us kill him, and then the inheritance will become ours.’
Bhaalimanga bhala bhakammonanjepe, gubhabhalanjilenenje, ‘Jweneju ni apinga tola ulishi. Bhai tummulaje, ulishi shigubhe gwetu.’
15 So they threw him outside the vineyard and killed him. Now what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
Bhai, gubhankwakwatilenje palanga nngunda gwa mishabhibhu gula, gubhammulegenje.” A Yeshu gubhabhushiye. “Bhai penepo bhayene nngunda bhala shibhaatendanje nndi bhene bhaalimangabho?
16 He will come and put those tenants to death, and will let the vineyard to others.” “Heaven forbid!” they exclaimed when they heard it.
Shibhajiye nikwaabhulaganga bhaalimangabho na nngunda gwa mishabhibhugo shibhaapanganje bhaalimanga bhananji.” Bhandunji bhakapilikananjeje gene malobhego, gubhashitenje. “Nngabha, Inakoposhele nneyo!”
17 But Jesus looked at them and said, “What then is the meaning of this passage? – ‘The stone which the builders despised has now itself become the cornerstone.’
Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaalolinje, gubhaalugulilenje, “Bhai, gene Majandiko ga malombolelo gakwe nndi? ‘Liganga libhakanilenje bhaashenganga, Nnaino lishibha liganga likulu lya pa ndumba!’
18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be dashed to pieces, while anyone on whom it falls – it will scatter him as dust.”
Mundu jojowe agwilaga pantundu lyene ligangalyo apinga temekanga na linngwilaga mundu jojowe, lipinga kunkandaganya.”
19 After this the teachers of the Law and the chief priest were eager to lay hands on Jesus then and there, but they were afraid of the people; for they saw that it was at them that he had aimed this parable.
Bhaajiganya bha Shalia na ashikalongolele bha bhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila gwaapinjilenje kwaakamula palapepala, pabha bhamumanyinji kuti lwene lutangolo bhatanjilwenje ni bhobho pebho. Ikabheje bhatendaga kubhajogopanga bhandu.
20 Having watched their opportunity, they afterward sent some spies, who pretended to be good men, to catch Jesus in the course of conversation, and so enable them to give him up to the Governor’s jurisdiction and authority.
Bhai, gubhaatumilenje bhandunji bhaitembilenje bhanguja, bhakaabhuyanje a Yeshu ibhuyo ya kwaatanjiya kwa malobhe gabho, nkupinga bhaakamulanje bhaapelekanje kwa ashikalongolele bha ukulungwa.
21 These spies asked Jesus a question. They said, “Teacher, we know that you are right in what you say and teach, and that you do not take any account of a person’s position, but teach the way of God honestly;
Bhai, bhatumilwenje bhala gubhaabhushiyenje a Yeshu, “Mmajiganya, tumumanyi mmwe nnabheleketa na kujiganya indu ya uguja na mwangali luagu, mmwe nnajiganya indu ya a Nnungu ipinjikwa bhandu bhatendanje.
22 are we right in paying tribute to the Emperor or not?”
Bhuli, ni alali uwe kulipa koli kwa a Kaishali eu nngabha?”
23 Seeing through their deceitfulness, Jesus said to them,
Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhang'amwile kuti bhanakwaatejelanga, nigubhaabhalanjilenje,
24 “Show me a coin. Whose head and title are on it?”
“Nnangulanje dinali. Bhuli, aji pishaji na gajandikwe pantundu jakwega ni ga keni?” Nigubhaajangwilenje, “Ga a Kaishali.”
25 “The Emperor’s,” they said; and Jesus replied, “Well then, pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.”
A Yeshu nigubhaabhalanjilenje, “Bhai, ili ya a Kaishali mwaapanganje a Kaishali na ya a Nnungu mwaapanganje a Nnungu.”
26 They could not object to this answer before the people; and, in their wonder at his reply, they held their tongues.
Bhangakombolanga kwaakamula kwa gene gaabhelekete palugwinjili gala. Nigubhakanganigwenje majangulo gabho, gubhatemingenenje ilili.
27 Presently there came up some Sadducees, who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this –
Kungai Ashimashadukayo bhalugulanga kuti bhawilenje bhakayukanga, gubhaaishilenje a Yeshu nikwaabhuya,
28 “Teacher, Moses laid down for us in his writings that – ‘Should a man’s married brother die, and should he be childless, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.’
bhalinkutinji, “Mmajiganya, a Musha bhashinkutujandishila kuti nkulu mundu awaga nikunneka jwankongwe nshitenga gwangali kunkolela bhana, inapinjikwa mpwakwe ajinjile majumba, kupinga ankolele bhana nkulugwe.
29 Well, there were once seven brothers; of whom the eldest, after taking a wife, died childless.
Bhai, gene mobhago bhashinkupagwanga bhangwendo shabha bha nyumba jimo. Jwa lielo jula gwalombile na gwawile gwangali kuleka mwana.
30 The second and third brothers both took her as their wife;
Jwabhili jula gwajinjile majumba, na jwalakwe gwawile gwangali kukola mwana,
31 and so, too, did all seven – dying without children.
na jwatatu ni nneila peila. Nkubho gula nibha gula mpaka bhowe shabha bhala gubhawilenje gwangali kukolela bhana.
32 The woman herself was the last to die.
Kungai na jwankongwe jula gwawile.
33 About the woman, then – at the resurrection, whose wife is she to be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”
Bhuli, pushibhayukanje, jwankongwejo shabhe nkagwe gani? Pabha ashinkulombwa na bhowe shabha bhala.”
A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Bhandunji bha gegano mobha gano bhanalombanga na lombwa, (aiōn g165)
35 but, for those who are thought worthy to attain to that other world and the resurrection from the dead, there is no marrying or being married, (aiōn g165)
Ikabheje bhene shibhayukanje nibhalanganishiwa nndamo ja gene mobhago, bhakalombanga wala bhakalombwanga. (aiōn g165)
36 nor indeed can they die again, for they are like angels and, having shared in the resurrection, they are God’s children.
Na shibhabhanganje mbuti ashimalaika bha a Nnungu na bhana bha a Nnungu bhakawanganga kabhili, pabha bhashiyuywanga.
37 As to the fact that the dead rise, even Moses indicated that, in the passage about the Bush, when he calls the Lord – ‘The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
Ikabheje, ga yuywa bhawilenje, nkali a Musha nneila peila bhakong'ondele Mmajandiko. Ga shitekete shakolelaga moto shila, bhanakwaashema Bhakulungwa kuti a Nnungu bha a Bhulaimu na bha a Ishaka na bha a Yakobho.
38 Now he is not God of dead people, but of living. For in his sight all are alive.”
Bhai, bhenebho nngabha a Nnungu bha bhawilenje, ikabhe a Nnungu bha bhakotonji, pabha kwa bhenebho bhowe bhakotonji.”
39 “Well said, teacher!” exclaimed some of the teachers of the Law,
Bhaajiganya bhananji bha Shalia gubhashitenje, “Mmajiganya nshijangula ukoto kaje.”
40 for they did not venture to question him any further.
Na bhandunji bhala bhangalinganga kwaabhuya kabhili.
41 But Jesus said to them, “How is it that people say that the Christ is to be David’s son?
A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Ni kwa bhuli bhanabheleketanga kuti a Kilishitu ni bha shipinga sha a Daudi?
42 For David, in the book of Psalms, says himself – ‘The Lord said to my lord: Sit at my right hand,
Pabha bhayene a Daudi bhanabheleketa nshitabhu sha Mbeembela, ‘BHAKULUNGWA bhashinkwaalugulila Bhakulungwa bhangu, Ntame kunkono gwangu gwa nnilo
43 until I put your enemies as a stool for your feet.’
Mpaka pushinaabhikanje ashaamagongo ajenunji palibhatila makongono genu.’”
44 David, then, calls him ‘lord,’ so how is he David’s son?”
Ibhaga a Daudi bhakwaashema bhenebho, Bhakulungwa bhai, shibhabhe bhuli bhana bhabho?
45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to the disciples,
Akuno bhandu bhowe bhalikwapilikanishiyanga a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho.
46 “Be on your guard against the teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and like to be greeted in the streets with respect, and to have the best seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at dinner.
“Mwiiteiganje na bhaajiganya bha Shalia inakwaanonyelanga pita jimajima akuno bhali bhawalilenje majoo. Inakwaanonyelanga kukomaywa mummbala ya ushiya indu na tama mwiitengu ya mmujo mmashinagogi.
47 These are the men who rob widows of their houses, and make a pretense of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier.”
Kwa ugulumba, bhanakwaatolelanga bhanabhakongwe bha shitenga indu yabhonji, bhalikwiitembanganga kuti bhanguja, bhalikwaajuganga a Nnungu kwa leupya. Bhene bhanganyabho shibhaukumulwanje kupunda bhananji.”
