Luka 20
1 Lishaka limu Yesu kaweriti kankuwafunda wantu Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na kuvibwera visoweru viwagira, watambika wakulu na wafunda wa Malagaliru, pamuhera na wazewi, wiziti
And it came to pass on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the good news, the chief priests and the scholars with the elders stood near.
2 na wamgambira, “Gutugambiri, gutenda vintu vyoseri avi kwa uwezu wa gaa? Ndo gaa yakakupiti uwezu wa kutenda aga?”
And they spoke, saying to him, Tell us, by what authority are thou doing these things? Or who is he who gave thee this authority?
3 Yesu kawankula, “Vinu naneni hanuwakosiyi. Mung'ambiri,
And having answered, he said to them, I also will ask you one word, and ye tell me.
4 uwezu wa kubatiza wa Yohani Mbatiza ulawiti kumpindi ama ulawiti kwa wantu?”
The immersion of John, was it from heaven or from men?
5 Womberi wanjiti kuligambirana weni, “Hatulongi hashi? Patulonga, ‘Ulawiti kumpindi,’ yomberi hakatakuli, ‘Iwera hashi munjimira ndiri?’
And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say, Why did ye not believe him?
6 Kumbiti patulonga, ‘Ulawa kwa wantu,’ lipinga lyoseri lya wantu panu hawatugumi mabuhi, toziya woseri wavimaniti kuwera Yohani kaweriti mbuyi gwa Mlungu.”
But if we say, From men, all the people will stone us, for they are convinced John is a prophet.
7 Su wamwankula, “Tuvimana ndiri uwezu wakuwi ulawiti koshi.”
And they replied not to know from where.
8 Yesu kawagambira, “Vira neni hapeni nuwagambirani ntenda vitwatira avi kwa uwezu wa gaa.”
And Jesus said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
9 Yesu kawagambiriti wantu mfanu agu, “Kweniti na muntu yakayaliti mizyabibu mulirambu, kawazimila wakulima na mweni kagenditi mwanja, kalikaliti kulii shipindi shivuwa.
And he began to speak this parable to the people. A man planted a vineyard, and leased it to farmers, and went abroad for a considerable time.
10 Shipindi sha kubenanga zyabibu shisokiti, kamtumiti mmanda kagendi kwa wakulima, kakatoli seemu ya mabenangu ga lirambu lya mizyabibu. Kumbiti wakulima wamkomanga ntumintumi ulii na wamuwuziya ukaya mawoku hera.
And at the season he sent a bondman to the farmers, so that they would give him from the fruit of the vineyard. But having beaten him, the farmers sent him away empty.
11 Su kamtumiti ntumintumi gwingi, kumbiti wakulima walii wamkoma kayi na kumtendera vidoda, na wamwuziya ukaya mawoku hera.
And he proceeded to send another bondman. And they, having beaten and shamefully treated, sent him also away empty.
12 Kamtumiti ntumintumi gwa tatu, wakulima wamkoma mpaka kawera na vironda, shakapanu wamuwingawinga.
And he proceeded to send a third. And they also having wounded this man, cast him out.
13 Mweni kana lirambu kalikosiya, ‘Hantendi hashi? Hanumtumi mwana gwangu yanumfira, neni wera na unakaka hawamupanani ligoya!’
And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will be made ashamed after seeing this man.
14 Kumbiti wakulima walii pawamwoniti, wanja kuligambira, ‘Ayu ndo mhala gwakuwi. Tumlagi, uhala wakuwi hawuweri wa twenga!’
But when the farmers saw him, they deliberated among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, so that the inheritance may become ours.
15 Su wamlaviya kunja kulirambu, wamlaga.” Yesu kawakosiya, “Yakana lirambu ulii hakawatendi hashi wakulima walii?
And having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16 Hakizi kuwalaga wakulima woseri, na hakawapanani wakulima wamonga lirambu lilii lya mizyabibu.” Wantu pawapikaniriti, watakula, “Iwezekana ndiri!”
He will come and destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others. And having heard it, they said, May it not happen!
17 Yesu kawaloliti na kukosiya, “Su Malembu aga Mananagala gana mana gaa? ‘Libuwi lyawalilemiti wanyawa wa numba, vinu ligalambuka na liwera libuwi lyaliwera na mana nentu kuliku goseri.’
But having looked upon them, he said, What then is this that is written, The stone that those who build rejected, this became the head of the corner?
18 Muntu yoseri pakaguwa pampindi pa libuwi hakamegeki vipandi vipandi, na libuwi palimtulukira muntu yoseri, halimtendi.”
Every man who falls on that stone will be broken, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust.
19 Wafunda wa Malagaliru na watambika wakulu wafiriti kumbata, toziya wavimaniti mfanu agu guweriti kankuwatakula womberi, kumbiti palii wawatiriti wantu.
And the chief priests and the scholars sought to throw hands on him in the same hour. And they were afraid, for they knew that he spoke this parable against them.
20 Su waweriti wankusakula shipindi shifaa. Wawapanani wantu wamu mpiya walitendi waheri, su wawatuma wagendi kumjera Yesu kwa kumkosiya, su wawezi kumbata na kumjega kwa wakulu wa serikali ya Rumi.
And having watched him, they sent forth insidious men pretending themselves to be righteous, so that they might take hold of his word, in order to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
21 Walolalo walii wamgambira Yesu, “mfunda, tuvimana ntambu yagutakula na kufunda vitwatira vya nakaka. Tuvimana gwenga gwahera ubagula kwa muntu yoseri ulii, kumbiti gwenga gufunda unakaka wa vintu vyakafira Mlungu.
And they questioned him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou speak and teach rightly, and thou do not accept a personage, but teach the way of God in truth,
22 Gutugambiri, handa vya halali ama vyahalali ndiri kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari!”
Is it permitted for us to give tribute to Caesar or not?
23 Kumbiti Yesu kavimaniti shawafira na kawagambira,
But having perceived their craftiness, he said to them, Why do ye try me?
24 “Mnanguziyi mpiya. Sheni sha mumpiya sha gaa na malembu yagalembwa mumpiya?” Wamwankula, “vya Kaisari.”
Display to me a denarius. Whose image and inscription has it? And having answered, they said, Caesar's.
25 Su Yesu kawagambira, “Su vya Kaisari mpanani Kaisari na vya Mlungu mpanani Mlungu.”
And he said to them, Then render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.
26 Waweza ndiri kumbata kwa shisoweru shoseri palii palongolu pa wantu, su wanyamaliti, pawalikangasha ntambu yakawankuliti.
And they were unable to lay hold of his word before the people. And having marveled at his answer, they were silent.
27 Shakapanu Masadukayu wamu, yawalongaga wantu yawahowa hapeni wazyuki, wamwiziriti Yesu na kulonga,
And some of the Sadducees having approached, those who say there is no resurrection, they questioned him,
28 “mfunda, Musa katulembiriti Lilagaliru ali, ‘Muntu pakahowa na kumleka mdala yakahera mwana, mpaka mlongu gwakuwi kamtoli mkenja ulii su kamleleri wana mlongu gwakuwi yakahowiti.’
saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, if any brother dies, having a wife, and this man dies childless, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
29 Vinu kuweriti na walongu saba. Mkulu yakalongoleriti kumyuga kahowa pakaleka ndiri mwana.
There were therefore seven brothers. And the first having taken a wife, died childless.
30 Mlongu gwa pili kamuyuga mdala mkenja ulii,
And the second took the woman, and this man died childless.
31 na mlongu gwa tatu ntambu ira, vitwatira viweriti vira virii kwa woseri saba, wahowiti pawaleka ndiri wana.
And the third likewise took her, and likewise also the seven; they left behind no children, and died.
32 Upeleru wakuwi na mdala mkenja ulii kahowiti vira.
And last of all the woman also died.
33 Vinu mulishaka lya wahowiti kuzyuka, mdala ulii hakaweri gwa gaa? Toziya woseri saba wamuyugiti.”
In the resurrection therefore whose wife of them does she become? For the seven had her as wife.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, The sons of this age marry, and are given in marriage, (aiōn g165)
35 kumbiti wapalu na wadala weni Mlungu hakawatangi kuwera mushipindi sha kuzyuka, hapeni wapalu wayugi wala wadala kuyugwa. (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 Hawaweri gambira wantumintumi wa kumpindi na hapeni wahowi. Womberi ndo wana wa Mlungu, toziya wazyuka kulawa kwa wahowiti.
For neither can they die any more, for they are like the agents, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 Kumbiti Musa kalanguziyiti weri kuwera yawahowiti hawazyuki. Mumalembu Mananagala galembitwi shakatakuliti Mtuwa ndo Mlungu gwa Aburahamu, na Mlungu gwa Isaka, na Mlungu gwa Yakobu.
But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the Bush when he calls the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38 Mlungu ndo gwa yawawera wakomu, na Mlungu ndiri gwa wahowiti, kwakuwi woseri walikala.”
Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.
39 Wafunda wamu wa Malagaliru watakula, “mfunda guwankula weri!”
And some of the scholars having answered, they said, Teacher, thou said well.
40 Watakuliti hangu toziya wasinditi kumkosiya kayi makosiwu gamonga.
For they no longer dared to question him anything.
41 Yesu kawakosiya, “Watakula hashi kulonga Kristu kawera mwana gwa Dawudi?
And he said to them, How do they say the Christ is David's son?
42 Mweni Dawudi kalemba kala mushintola sha Zaburi, ‘Mtuwa kamgambiriti Mtuwa gwangu, Gwikali kumliwu kwaneni
Even David himself says in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,
43 Mpaka nuwatuli wangondu waku kuwera shiti sha kutulila magulu gaku.’
until I will place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
44 Dawudi kamshemiti yomberi, ‘Mtuwa.’ Hayiweri hashi Mesiya kaweri mwana gwa Dawudi?”
David therefore calls him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 Yesu kawagambira wafundwa wakuwi kulongolu kwa wantu woseri,
And while all the people were listening, he said to his disciples,
46 “Muliloleri weri kuusu wafunda wa Malagaliru, weni wafira kugendagenda pawavalira lihabiti na wafira kulamsiwa kwa ligoya pahala pa masoku, weni wasyagula kulivaga pahala pa ligoya munumba zya Mlungu, na pahala paherepa mumsambu,
Beware of the scholars, who desire to walk around in long robes, and love greetings in the marketplaces, and chief seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at the feasts,
47 Wawagambira wakenja mpayu na kuwapoka numba zyawu na pawaluwa Mlungu luwi ntali! Azabu yawu hayiweri nkulu nentu!”
who devour widows' houses, and in pretence make long prayers. These will receive greater damnation.
