Luka 20
1 Ligono limonga, Yesu peavi mukuwula vandu mu Nyumba ya Chapanga na kuvakokosela Lilovi la Bwina, vakulu va kuteta na vawula va malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa na vagogo va Vayawudi, vamhambili.
It came about one day, as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came to him with the elders.
2 Vakajova, “Utijovelayi! Wikita mambu aga kwa uhotola gani?” Ndi yani mweakupelili uhotola wenuwo?
They spoke, saying to him, “Tell us by what authority you do these things, or who it is who gave you this authority.”
3 Yesu akavajovela, “Na nene yati nikuvakota likotesi,
He answered and said to them, “I will also ask you a question, and you tell me.
4 wu, uhotola wa Yohani wa kubatiza, wahumili kwa Chapanga amala kwa vandu?”
The baptism of John: was it from heaven or from men?”
5 Vakakotana vene kwa vene, “Tikajova wahumili kwa Chapanga, yati akutikota, ‘Ndava kyani mwamsadiki lepi?’
They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'
6 Nambu tikajova wahumili kwa vandu, vandu voha yati vakutikoma na maganga, muni woha visadika kuvya Yohani avi mlota wa Chapanga.”
But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.”
7 Vakamyangula, “Timmanyi lepi kwegahumili.”
So they answered that they did not know where it came from.
8 Yesu akavajovela, “Na nene nikuvajovela lepi nikita mambu genago kwa uhotola wa yani.”
Jesus said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
9 Yesu akayendelela kuvajovela luhumu ulu, “Mundu mmonga alimili mgunda wa mizabibu, avakodishi valimaji, kangi akahamba mulugendu mbaka mulima wa kutali, akatama kwenuko magono gamahele.
He told the people this parable, “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to vine growers, and went into another country for a long time.
10 Lukumbi lwa kubena mizabibu mundu mwenuyo, amtumili mvanda waki akatola lilundu laki kuhuma ku mgunda. Nambu valimaji wa mumgunda wula vakamtova mvanda yula vakamvinga mawoko gawaka.
At the appointed time he sent a servant to the vine growers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vine growers beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
11 Mkolo mgunda amtumili kavili mvanda yungi, nambu vene mewawa vakamtova na kumliga na kumvinga mawoko gawaka.
He then sent yet another servant and they also beat him, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
12 Kangi akamutuma mvanda wa datu, mwenuyo ndi vakamulemasa na kumtaga kuvala.
He also sent yet a third and they also wounded him, and threw him out.
13 Mkolo mgunda yula akahololela, ‘Yati nikita kyani? Yati nikumtuma mwana vangu ngayuyoyo wa chiganu, manya mwenuyo yati vakumtopesa.
So the lord of the vineyard said, 'What will I do? I will send my beloved son. Maybe they will respect him.'
14 Nambu valimaji vala, pevamuweni, vakajovesana, mwenuyu ndi mhali waki. Hinu timkomayi muni uhali waki uvya witu!’
But when the vine growers saw him, they discussed among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'
15 Ndi, vakamuwusa kuvala ya mgunda wula wa mizabibu, vakamukoma.” Yesu akavakota, “Mkolo mgunda yula yati akuvakita kyani valimaji vala?”
They threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 “Yati ibwela kuvakoma valimaji venavo, na kuvapela vangi mgunda wenuwo.” Vandu pevayuwini genago, vakajova, “Lepi! Gakotoka kuhumila hati padebe.”
He will come and destroy these vine growers, and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard it, they said, “May it never be!”
17 Nambu Yesu akavalolokesa na kuvakota. Mayandiku Gamsopi aga mana yaki kyani? Liganga levabeli vajengaji, hinu ndi liganga likulu la kutumbula pakujenga.
But Jesus looked at them, and said, “What is the meaning of that which is written: 'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone'?
18 Mundu yoyoha akagwilila panani ya liganga lenilo yati idenyekana hipandi hipandi, na liganga lenilo lakamgwilila mundu yoyoha ndi likumuyaga nyiminyimi.
Every one who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces. But on whomever it falls, it will crush.”
19 Vawula va Malagizu na vakulu va kuteta vamanyili kuvya luhumu lwenuwo ukuvavala vene, ndi vaganayi kumkamula bahapo, nambu vayogwipi vandu.
So the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour, for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.
20 Vamlandili cha papipi. Kangi vakavatuma vamang'omesi, vevajidekisi vandu vabwina muni vamyonja kwa malovi gaki, vakitili genago muni vahotola kumkamula na kumgotola muuhotola wa mkulu wa mkowa.
Watching him carefully, they sent out spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might find fault with his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
21 Vamang'omesi vala vakamjovela, “Muwula timanyili kuvya wijova na wiwula mambu gachakaka, wala nakumlola mundu pamihu ndi wiwula uchakaka munjila ya Chapanga.
They asked him, saying, “Teacher, we know that you say and teach rightly, and are not influenced by anyone's position, but you teach the truth about the way of God.
22 Ndi utijovela, wu! Chabwina amala, lepi tete kulipa kodi kwa nkosi wa ku Loma?”
Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
23 Nambu Yesu amanyili likoka lavi, akavajovela,
But Jesus understood their craftiness, and said to them,
24 “Munilangisa salafu ya lishonga. Wu, pamihu na liina ndi vya yani?” Vakamyangula, “Vya nkosi wa ku Loma.”
“Show me a denarius. Whose image and name is on it?” They said, “Caesar's.”
25 Yesu akavajovela, “Hinu mumpela nkosi wa ku Loma vyaki nkosi wa ku Loma na mumpela Chapanga vyaki Chapanga.”
He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”
26 Vahotwili lepi kumyonjola hati kwa lilovi limonga palongolo ya vandu, vakakangasa kwa mayangula gaki vakaguna.
They were not able to find fault with what he had said in front of the people, but marveling at his answer, they were silent.
27 Kangi Vasadukayu, vevijova kuvya vevafwili viyuka lepi, vakambwelela Yesu, vakajova,
When some of the Sadducees came to him, the ones who say that there is no resurrection,
28 “Muwula, Musa atiyandikili ngati mlongo mundu afwili na amlekili mdala waki changali vana, yikumgana mhaja waki amhalayi lipwela mwenuyo, muni ambabakisila vana mlongo waki.
they asked him, saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife, and being childless, the man should take the brother's wife, and have a child for his brother.
29 Hinu, kwavili na valongo saba va lukolo lumonga. Mhaja wavi agegili mdala, afwili changaleka mwana.
There were seven brothers and the first took a wife, and died childless,
30 Mbena waki yula akamhala lipwela, mwene mewa afwili changali mwana,
and the second as well.
31 hati mbena waki wa datu akamhala, mambu gakavya galagala voha saba vafwili, changali kuvelekisa vana.
The third took her, and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.
32 Pamwishu, mdala yula afwili.
Afterward the woman also died.
33 Wu, palukumbi lwa vevafwili kuyukiswa, mdala yula alavya mdala wa yani? Muni agegiwi na voha saba.”
In the resurrection then, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as their wife.”
Jesus said to them, “The sons of this world marry and are given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
35 Nambu vala vevahaguliwi na veviganikiwa kupewa wumi wa mulima wula, na kuyukiswa kula kuhuma kwa vevafwili, vigega lepi amala kugegewa. (aiōn g165)
But those who are regarded as worthy in that age to receive the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage. (aiōn g165)
36 Chakaka vifwa lepi kavili ndava viwanangana na vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga, ndi vana vaki Chapanga, ndava ya kuyukiswa kwavi.
Neither can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 Hati, Musa atilangisi njwe, kuvya vevafwili yati viyukiswa, mu Mayandiku Gamsopi. Pamihu ga padahi pepiyaka motu, akumuluwula Bambu Chapanga ngati Chapanga wa Ibulahimu na Chapanga wa Izaki na Chapanga wa Yakobo.
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the place concerning the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
38 Mwene, lepi Chapanga wa vevafwili nambu kwa vamumi, ndava muni kwa mwene voha vilama.”
Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living, because all live to him.”
39 Vawula va malagizu vangi va Musa vakajova, “Muwula, uvayangwili hotohoto!”
Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, you have answered well.”
40 Vandu vala vayogwipi kumkota kavili makotesi gangi.
For they did not dare ask him any more questions.
41 Yesu akavakota, vandu vijova wuli, Kilisitu Msangula ndi mwana wa chiveleku cha Daudi?
Jesus said to them, “How do they say that the Christ is David's son?
42 Muni Daudi mwene ajovili muchitabu cha Zabuli, Bambu, amjovili Bambu wangu, Tama muchiwoko changu cha kulyela
For David himself says in the Book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand,
43 hati nivavika makoko vaku pahi pa magendelu gaku.
until I make your enemies your footstool.'
44 Ngati Daudi akumkemela mwene, Bambu, hinu yihotoleka wuli, kuvya mwana waki?
David therefore calls the Christ 'Lord', so how is he David's son?”
45 Yesu avajovili vawuliwa vaki palongolo ya vandu voha,
In the hearing of all the people he said to his disciples,
46 “Mujiyangalila na vawula va Malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa, vevigana kugendagenda kuni vawalili magwanda gatali. Vigana kujambuswa chakufugwamila pandu pakugulisila vindu, kutama muvigoda vya kulongolo mu nyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi, kutama muvigoda vya kulongolo ku mselebuko.
“Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love special greetings in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief places at feasts.
47 Vinyaga nyumba za vapwela kwa kuchenjela, na viyupa kwa Chapanga lukumbi lutali, muni valolekanayi na vandu kuvya vabwina. Yati vihamuliwa neju kuliku vangi!”
They also devour widows' houses, and for a show they make long prayers. Men like this will receive greater condemnation.”
