Luka 20
1 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,
On one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the Good News, the priests and scribes came to him with the elders.
2 nigubhaabhushiyenje, “Ntubhalanjile! Genega punkutenda kwa mashili gashi na gani ampele?”
They asked him, “Tell us: by what authority do you do these things? Or who is giving you this authority?”
3 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Numbe nne shinimmuyanje,
He answered them, “I also will ask you one question. Tell me:
4 mashili ga a Yowana ga bhatisha kugakopweshele kwa a Nnungu eu kubhandu?”
the baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?”
5 Ikabheje bhalabhonji gubhabhalanjilenenje, “Tutendaga kugakoposhele kwa a Nnungu, bhalabho shibhatubhuye, ‘Pakuti mmangaakulupalilanga?’
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’
6 Na tulugulaga kugakoposhele kubhandu, bhandunji bhowe shibhatukomanje na maganga, pabha bhowe bhanakulupalilanga kuti a Yowana pubhaaliji ankulondola.”
But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 Bhai, gubhajangulenje, “Tukakukumanya kugakoposhele kwei?”
They answered that they didn’t know where it was from.
8 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nkali nne ngammalanjilanga ingutenda ino ngutenda kwa mashili gakeni?”
Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9 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.
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 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.
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 Bhayene nngunda bhala bhakuntumaga ntumishi juna, ikabheje nneila peila gubhankomilenje na kuntokomaya, gubhamminjilenje gwaayoyo.
He sent yet another servant, and they also beat him and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Gubhantumile kabhili ntumishi jwatatu, najwalakwe, gubhanng'uleyenje, gubhamminjilenje munngunda mula.”
He sent yet a third, and they also wounded him and threw him out.
13 Bhai bhayene nngunda bhala gubhaganishiye, “Shindende bhuli? ‘Shinintume mwanangu jwa jika jungumpinga peju, pana shibhanng'ishimunji.’
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 Bhaalimanga bhala bhakammonanjepe, gubhabhalanjilenenje, ‘Jweneju ni apinga tola ulishi. Bhai tummulaje, ulishi shigubhe gwetu.’
“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 Bhai, gubhankwakwatilenje palanga nngunda gwa mishabhibhu gula, gubhammulegenje.” A Yeshu gubhabhushiye. “Bhai penepo bhayene nngunda bhala shibhaatendanje nndi bhene bhaalimangabho?
Then they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Shibhajiye nikwaabhulaganga bhaalimangabho na nngunda gwa mishabhibhugo shibhaapanganje bhaalimanga bhananji.” Bhandunji bhakapilikananjeje gene malobhego, gubhashitenje. “Nngabha, Inakoposhele nneyo!”
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 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaalolinje, gubhaalugulilenje, “Bhai, gene Majandiko ga malombolelo gakwe nndi? ‘Liganga libhakanilenje bhaashenganga, Nnaino lishibha liganga likulu lya pa ndumba!’
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 Mundu jojowe agwilaga pantundu lyene ligangalyo apinga temekanga na linngwilaga mundu jojowe, lipinga kunkandaganya.”
Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, but it will crush whomever it falls on to dust.”
19 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.
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 Bhai, gubhaatumilenje bhandunji bhaitembilenje bhanguja, bhakaabhuyanje a Yeshu ibhuyo ya kwaatanjiya kwa malobhe gabho, nkupinga bhaakamulanje bhaapelekanje kwa ashikalongolele bha ukulungwa.
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 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.
They asked him, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach what is right, and aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God.
22 Bhuli, ni alali uwe kulipa koli kwa a Kaishali eu nngabha?”
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhang'amwile kuti bhanakwaatejelanga, nigubhaabhalanjilenje,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?
24 “Nnangulanje dinali. Bhuli, aji pishaji na gajandikwe pantundu jakwega ni ga keni?” Nigubhaajangwilenje, “Ga a Kaishali.”
Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” They answered, “Caesar’s.”
25 A Yeshu nigubhaabhalanjilenje, “Bhai, ili ya a Kaishali mwaapanganje a Kaishali na ya a Nnungu mwaapanganje a Nnungu.”
He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
26 Bhangakombolanga kwaakamula kwa gene gaabhelekete palugwinjili gala. Nigubhakanganigwenje majangulo gabho, gubhatemingenenje ilili.
They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.
27 Kungai Ashimashadukayo bhalugulanga kuti bhawilenje bhakayukanga, gubhaaishilenje a Yeshu nikwaabhuya,
Some of the Sadducees came to him, those who deny that there is a resurrection.
28 bhalinkutinji, “Mmajiganya, a Musha bhashinkutujandishila kuti nkulu mundu awaga nikunneka jwankongwe nshitenga gwangali kunkolela bhana, inapinjikwa mpwakwe ajinjile majumba, kupinga ankolele bhana nkulugwe.
They asked him, “Teacher, 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 Bhai, gene mobhago bhashinkupagwanga bhangwendo shabha bha nyumba jimo. Jwa lielo jula gwalombile na gwawile gwangali kuleka mwana.
There were therefore seven brothers. The first took a wife, and died childless.
30 Jwabhili jula gwajinjile majumba, na jwalakwe gwawile gwangali kukola mwana,
The second took her as wife, and he died childless.
31 na jwatatu ni nneila peila. Nkubho gula nibha gula mpaka bhowe shabha bhala gubhawilenje gwangali kukolela bhana.
The third took her, and likewise the seven all left no children, and died.
32 Kungai na jwankongwe jula gwawile.
Afterward the woman also died.
33 Bhuli, pushibhayukanje, jwankongwejo shabhe nkagwe gani? Pabha ashinkulombwa na bhowe shabha bhala.”
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them will she be? For the seven had her as a wife.”
34 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Bhandunji bha gegano mobha gano bhanalombanga na lombwa, (aiōn g165)
Jesus said to them, “The children of this age marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 Ikabheje bhene shibhayukanje nibhalanganishiwa nndamo ja gene mobhago, bhakalombanga wala bhakalombwanga. (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 Na shibhabhanganje mbuti ashimalaika bha a Nnungu na bhana bha a Nnungu bhakawanganga kabhili, pabha bhashiyuywanga.
For they can’t die any more, for they are like the angels and are children of God, being children of the resurrection.
37 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.
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 Bhai, bhenebho nngabha a Nnungu bha bhawilenje, ikabhe a Nnungu bha bhakotonji, pabha kwa bhenebho bhowe bhakotonji.”
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all are alive to him.”
39 Bhaajiganya bhananji bha Shalia gubhashitenje, “Mmajiganya nshijangula ukoto kaje.”
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you speak well.”
40 Na bhandunji bhala bhangalinganga kwaabhuya kabhili.
They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.
41 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Ni kwa bhuli bhanabheleketanga kuti a Kilishitu ni bha shipinga sha a Daudi?
He said to them, “Why do they say that the Christ is David’s son?
42 Pabha bhayene a Daudi bhanabheleketa nshitabhu sha Mbeembela, ‘BHAKULUNGWA bhashinkwaalugulila Bhakulungwa bhangu, Ntame kunkono gwangu gwa nnilo
David himself says in the book of Psalms, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
43 Mpaka pushinaabhikanje ashaamagongo ajenunji palibhatila makongono genu.’”
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
44 Ibhaga a Daudi bhakwaashema bhenebho, Bhakulungwa bhai, shibhabhe bhuli bhana bhabho?
“David therefore calls him Lord, so how is he his son?”
45 Akuno bhandu bhowe bhalikwapilikanishiyanga a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho.
In the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
46 “Mwiiteiganje na bhaajiganya bha Shalia inakwaanonyelanga pita jimajima akuno bhali bhawalilenje majoo. Inakwaanonyelanga kukomaywa mummbala ya ushiya indu na tama mwiitengu ya mmujo mmashinagogi.
“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 Kwa ugulumba, bhanakwaatolelanga bhanabhakongwe bha shitenga indu yabhonji, bhalikwiitembanganga kuti bhanguja, bhalikwaajuganga a Nnungu kwa leupya. Bhene bhanganyabho shibhaukumulwanje kupunda bhananji.”
who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
