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.
And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,
2 Vakajova, “Utijovelayi! Wikita mambu aga kwa uhotola gani?” Ndi yani mweakupelili uhotola wenuwo?
And spoke to him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
3 Yesu akavajovela, “Na nene yati nikuvakota likotesi,
And he answered and said to them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer 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?’
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
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.”
And they answered, that they could not tell where it was from.
8 Yesu akavajovela, “Na nene nikuvajovela lepi nikita mambu genago kwa uhotola wa yani.”
And Jesus said to them, Neither do 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.
Then he began to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to vinedressers, and went into a far 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.
And at the season he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the vinedressers beat him, and sent him away empty.
11 Mkolo mgunda amtumili kavili mvanda yungi, nambu vene mewawa vakamtova na kumliga na kumvinga mawoko gawaka.
And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
12 Kangi akamutuma mvanda wa datu, mwenuyo ndi vakamulemasa na kumtaga kuvala.
And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13 Mkolo mgunda yula akahololela, ‘Yati nikita kyani? Yati nikumtuma mwana vangu ngayuyoyo wa chiganu, manya mwenuyo yati vakumtopesa.
Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be when they see him they will reverence him.
14 Nambu valimaji vala, pevamuweni, vakajovesana, mwenuyu ndi mhali waki. Hinu timkomayi muni uhali waki uvya witu!’
But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, 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?”
So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall 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 shall come and destroy these vinedressers, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, may that never be.
17 Nambu Yesu akavalolokesa na kuvakota. Mayandiku Gamsopi aga mana yaki kyani? Liganga levabeli vajengaji, hinu ndi liganga likulu la kutumbula pakujenga.
And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
18 Mundu yoyoha akagwilila panani ya liganga lenilo yati idenyekana hipandi hipandi, na liganga lenilo lakamgwilila mundu yoyoha ndi likumuyaga nyiminyimi.
Whoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19 Vawula va Malagizu na vakulu va kuteta vamanyili kuvya luhumu lwenuwo ukuvavala vene, ndi vaganayi kumkamula bahapo, nambu vayogwipi vandu.
And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
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.
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who pretended to be righteous men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him to the power and 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.
And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
22 Ndi utijovela, wu! Chabwina amala, lepi tete kulipa kodi kwa nkosi wa ku Loma?”
Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
23 Nambu Yesu amanyili likoka lavi, akavajovela,
But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, Why tempt ye me?
24 “Munilangisa salafu ya lishonga. Wu, pamihu na liina ndi vya yani?” Vakamyangula, “Vya nkosi wa ku Loma.”
Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar’s.
25 Yesu akavajovela, “Hinu mumpela nkosi wa ku Loma vyaki nkosi wa ku Loma na mumpela Chapanga vyaki Chapanga.”
And he said to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and to God the things which are God’s.
26 Vahotwili lepi kumyonjola hati kwa lilovi limonga palongolo ya vandu, vakakangasa kwa mayangula gaki vakaguna.
And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
27 Kangi Vasadukayu, vevijova kuvya vevafwili viyuka lepi, vakambwelela Yesu, vakajova,
Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
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.
Saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, If any man’s brother should die, having a wife, and he should die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 Hinu, kwavili na valongo saba va lukolo lumonga. Mhaja wavi agegili mdala, afwili changaleka mwana.
There were therefore seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 Mbena waki yula akamhala lipwela, mwene mewa afwili changali mwana,
And the second took her for a wife, and he died childless.
31 hati mbena waki wa datu akamhala, mambu gakavya galagala voha saba vafwili, changali kuvelekisa vana.
And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32 Pamwishu, mdala yula afwili.
Last of all the woman died also.
33 Wu, palukumbi lwa vevafwili kuyukiswa, mdala yula alavya mdala wa yani? Muni agegiwi na voha saba.”
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her for a wife.
And Jesus answering said to them, The children 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 they who shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are 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 any more: for they are equal to the angels; and are the children of God, being the children 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.
Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush, when he calleth 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.”
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
39 Vawula va malagizu vangi va Musa vakajova, “Muwula, uvayangwili hotohoto!”
Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
40 Vandu vala vayogwipi kumkota kavili makotesi gangi.
And after that they dared not ask him any question at all.
41 Yesu akavakota, vandu vijova wuli, Kilisitu Msangula ndi mwana wa chiveleku cha Daudi?
And he said to them, How say they that Christ is David’s son?
42 Muni Daudi mwene ajovili muchitabu cha Zabuli, Bambu, amjovili Bambu wangu, Tama muchiwoko changu cha kulyela
And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
43 hati nivavika makoko vaku pahi pa magendelu gaku.
Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
44 Ngati Daudi akumkemela mwene, Bambu, hinu yihotoleka wuli, kuvya mwana waki?
David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
45 Yesu avajovili vawuliwa vaki palongolo ya vandu voha,
Then 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 greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the best 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!”
Who devour widows’ houses, and for a show make long prayers: the same shall receive greater condemnation.
