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,
And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he is teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news, the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came upon [him],
2 nigubhaabhushiyenje, “Ntubhalanjile! Genega punkutenda kwa mashili gashi na gani ampele?”
and spake unto him, saying, 'Tell us by what authority thou dost these things? or who is he that gave to thee this authority?'
3 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Numbe nne shinimmuyanje,
And he answering said unto them, 'I will question you — I also — one thing, and tell me:
4 mashili ga a Yowana ga bhatisha kugakopweshele kwa a Nnungu eu kubhandu?”
the baptism of John, from heaven was it, or from men?'
5 Ikabheje bhalabhonji gubhabhalanjilenenje, “Tutendaga kugakoposhele kwa a Nnungu, bhalabho shibhatubhuye, ‘Pakuti mmangaakulupalilanga?’
And they reasoned with themselves, saying — 'If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?
6 Na tulugulaga kugakoposhele kubhandu, bhandunji bhowe shibhatukomanje na maganga, pabha bhowe bhanakulupalilanga kuti a Yowana pubhaaliji ankulondola.”
and if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.'
7 Bhai, gubhajangulenje, “Tukakukumanya kugakoposhele kwei?”
And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was],
8 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Nkali nne ngammalanjilanga ingutenda ino ngutenda kwa mashili gakeni?”
and Jesus said to them, 'Neither do I say to 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.
And he began to speak unto the people this simile: 'A certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad 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.
and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send [him] away empty.
11 Bhayene nngunda bhala bhakuntumaga ntumishi juna, ikabheje nneila peila gubhankomilenje na kuntokomaya, gubhamminjilenje gwaayoyo.
'And he added to send another servant, and they that one also having beaten and dishonoured, did send away empty;
12 Gubhantumile kabhili ntumishi jwatatu, najwalakwe, gubhanng'uleyenje, gubhamminjilenje munngunda mula.”
and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they did cast out.
13 Bhai bhayene nngunda bhala gubhaganishiye, “Shindende bhuli? ‘Shinintume mwanangu jwa jika jungumpinga peju, pana shibhanng'ishimunji.’
'And the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son — the beloved, perhaps having seen this one, they will do reverence;
14 Bhaalimanga bhala bhakammonanjepe, gubhabhalanjilenenje, ‘Jweneju ni apinga tola ulishi. Bhai tummulaje, ulishi shigubhe gwetu.’
and having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him, that the inheritance may become ours;
15 Bhai, gubhankwakwatilenje palanga nngunda gwa mishabhibhu gula, gubhammulegenje.” A Yeshu gubhabhushiye. “Bhai penepo bhayene nngunda bhala shibhaatendanje nndi bhene bhaalimangabho?
and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed [him]; what, then, shall the owner 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 husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.' And having heard, they said, 'Let it not be!'
17 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaalolinje, gubhaalugulilenje, “Bhai, gene Majandiko ga malombolelo gakwe nndi? ‘Liganga libhakanilenje bhaashenganga, Nnaino lishibha liganga likulu lya pa ndumba!’
and he, having looked upon them, said, 'What, then, is this that hath been written: A stone that the builders rejected — this became head of a corner?
18 Mundu jojowe agwilaga pantundu lyene ligangalyo apinga temekanga na linngwilaga mundu jojowe, lipinga kunkandaganya.”
every one who hath fallen on that stone shall be broken, and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.'
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.
And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that against them he spake this simile.
20 Bhai, gubhaatumilenje bhandunji bhaitembilenje bhanguja, bhakaabhuyanje a Yeshu ibhuyo ya kwaatanjiya kwa malobhe gabho, nkupinga bhaakamulanje bhaapelekanje kwa ashikalongolele bha ukulungwa.
And, having watched [him], they sent forth liers in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the 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.
and they questioned him, saying, 'Teacher, we have known that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a person, but in truth the way of God dost teach;
22 Bhuli, ni alali uwe kulipa koli kwa a Kaishali eu nngabha?”
Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?'
23 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhang'amwile kuti bhanakwaatejelanga, nigubhaabhalanjilenje,
And he, having perceived their craftiness, said unto them, 'Why me do ye tempt?
24 “Nnangulanje dinali. Bhuli, aji pishaji na gajandikwe pantundu jakwega ni ga keni?” Nigubhaajangwilenje, “Ga a Kaishali.”
shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and superscription?' and they answering said, 'Of Caesar:'
25 A Yeshu nigubhaabhalanjilenje, “Bhai, ili ya a Kaishali mwaapanganje a Kaishali na ya a Nnungu mwaapanganje a Nnungu.”
and he said to them, 'Give back, therefore, the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'
26 Bhangakombolanga kwaakamula kwa gene gaabhelekete palugwinjili gala. Nigubhakanganigwenje majangulo gabho, gubhatemingenenje ilili.
and they were not able to take hold on his saying before the people, and having wondered at his answer, they were silent.
27 Kungai Ashimashadukayo bhalugulanga kuti bhawilenje bhakayukanga, gubhaaishilenje a Yeshu nikwaabhuya,
And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there is a rising again, having come near, questioned him,
28 bhalinkutinji, “Mmajiganya, a Musha bhashinkutujandishila kuti nkulu mundu awaga nikunneka jwankongwe nshitenga gwangali kunkolela bhana, inapinjikwa mpwakwe ajinjile majumba, kupinga ankolele bhana nkulugwe.
saying, 'Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother may die, having a wife, and he may die childless — that his brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his brother.
29 Bhai, gene mobhago bhashinkupagwanga bhangwendo shabha bha nyumba jimo. Jwa lielo jula gwalombile na gwawile gwangali kuleka mwana.
'There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having taken a wife, died childless,
30 Jwabhili jula gwajinjile majumba, na jwalakwe gwawile gwangali kukola mwana,
and the second took the wife, and he died childless,
31 na jwatatu ni nneila peila. Nkubho gula nibha gula mpaka bhowe shabha bhala gubhawilenje gwangali kukolela bhana.
and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven — they left not children, and they died;
32 Kungai na jwankongwe jula gwawile.
and last of all died also the woman:
33 Bhuli, pushibhayukanje, jwankongwejo shabhe nkagwe gani? Pabha ashinkulombwa na bhowe shabha bhala.”
in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she become wife? — for the seven had her as wife.'
34 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Bhandunji bha gegano mobha gano bhanalombanga na lombwa, (aiōn g165)
And Jesus answering said to them, 'The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 Ikabheje bhene shibhayukanje nibhalanganishiwa nndamo ja gene mobhago, bhakalombanga wala bhakalombwanga. (aiōn g165)
but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage; (aiōn g165)
36 Na shibhabhanganje mbuti ashimalaika bha a Nnungu na bhana bha a Nnungu bhakawanganga kabhili, pabha bhashiyuywanga.
for neither are they able to die any more — for they are like messengers — and they are sons of God, being sons of the rising again.
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.
'And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and 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.”
and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.'
39 Bhaajiganya bhananji bha Shalia gubhashitenje, “Mmajiganya nshijangula ukoto kaje.”
And certain of the scribes answering said, 'Teacher, thou didst say well;'
40 Na bhandunji bhala bhangalinganga kwaabhuya kabhili.
and no more durst they question him anything.
41 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Ni kwa bhuli bhanabheleketanga kuti a Kilishitu ni bha shipinga sha a Daudi?
And he said unto them, 'How do they say the Christ to be son of David,
42 Pabha bhayene a Daudi bhanabheleketa nshitabhu sha Mbeembela, ‘BHAKULUNGWA bhashinkwaalugulila Bhakulungwa bhangu, Ntame kunkono gwangu gwa nnilo
and David himself saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 Mpaka pushinaabhikanje ashaamagongo ajenunji palibhatila makongono genu.’”
till I shall make thine enemies thy footstool;
44 Ibhaga a Daudi bhakwaashema bhenebho, Bhakulungwa bhai, shibhabhe bhuli bhana bhabho?
David, then, doth call him lord, and how is he his son?'
45 Akuno bhandu bhowe bhalikwapilikanishiyanga a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho.
And, all the people hearing, 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.
'Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long robes, and are loving salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the suppers,
47 Kwa ugulumba, bhanakwaatolelanga bhanabhakongwe bha shitenga indu yabhonji, bhalikwiitembanganga kuti bhanguja, bhalikwaajuganga a Nnungu kwa leupya. Bhene bhanganyabho shibhaukumulwanje kupunda bhananji.”
who devour the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant judgment.'
