Luke 20 (IYX) · Opened

1Iluumbu imosi nha kati a biluumbu bii, Yiisu akiyiisi baata mu nzo a Nziaambi na uyaabisa ndaa yimbwe. Banguu ba bangaanga ba Nziaambi na bayiisi ba mikele, na bakuutu ba baata bayiri,One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the temple courts and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and scribes, together with the elders, came up to Him.

2na ba leeli kwaa nde: «Leele bisi mu ki lituu we li musa mandaa ma! Na aha we lituu lii?»“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Nde avutili, kwaa bo: «Me ka nifuulu beni nduru, vutulani me:“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4Lituu la ubootuu baata, na ahi lo kwaa Yowani? Nziaambi oo baata?»John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Ka bo balelisini: «So divutili ti Nziaambi ahi nde lo, nde sa aleele: “mu ima beni diahele usa nde imiini?”They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6So divutili ti baata ba muhi nde lo, koongi yoosi sa yidusu bisi mu mamanya, mu ndaa ti boosi basi imiini ti Yowani ali mubili.»But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Ka bavutuli ti: «bisi a diayaaba pe na ahi nde lituu mu ubootuu.»So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Ka Yiisu wabaleeli: «me ka a nileele beni pe mu ki lituu me ndi mu usa mandaa ma.»And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Tumake, Yiisu ati tsaba yi kwaa koongi: «Muutu mosi akuni nguundu a viinyi, asiisi yo nha mioo mia basiali ba viinyi, na ayeni ku midieenge mu taanga dialaa.Then He proceeded to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to some tenants, and went away for a long time.

10Taanga dia tolili bu diatoori, ngaa nguundu wuu atsindii musiali mosi kwaa basiali ba viinyi, paa baha nde ikuku kia mbutu dia viinyi. Ka basiali ba viinyi bamuteti na bamuvutili mioo na mioo.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.

11Nde abwitsinduu musiali mukimi, bo bamuteti na bamutuyi, tumake bamuvutili mioo na mioo.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Nde abwitsinduu musiali wa mutata, bo bamunemisi na bamupalisi ku mbari a nguundu.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13Ngaa nguundu a viinyi aleeli: “me buni nisa? Me sa tsinduu mwaana a me wa litoono, hele a pe sa bamukiinzi.”‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14Ka basiali ba viinyi bu bamumoni, balelisini: “Wuunawu ni mutoli a mukobo; diamudusu paa ti mukobo aba ka wa bisi.”But when the tenants saw the son, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

15Na bo bamubingisi ku mbari a nguundu a viinyi, bamudusi. Buni ngaa nguundu a viinyi akaayiluu yiluu mu bo?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Nde sa ayiri nde makulu, sa adusu basiali ba viinyi, na sa aha nguundu a viinyi kwaa bakimi.» Bu bayuyi mandaa maa, bakimii, baloyi: «Ngori a uba buu pe.»He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”

17Ka Yiisu wabatali isooso, na aleeli: «Tsutulu a mandaa mabasonuu ma, ma? “Ni manya li bameengili, limaakituu manya la ibwa.”But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?

18Pasi nde wu ubwa nha yulu a manya li, nde sa akosuu; na pasi wu lo libwiilili, lo sa likosolo nde.»Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Bayiisi ba mikele na banguu ba bangaanga ba Nziaambi basiayi mu ukaanga Yiisu mu taanga dii, ka babayi boomo ba baata. Bo bayaabi ti, mu ndaa bo nde ati tsaba yii.When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.

20Bamuketi, batsindii baata bafuti uba balibweeye, mu usaa toono yi butuu ukaanga nde mu mimipala mu munywa a nde, paa bamuyeelele kwaa ipfumu kia tsi na kwaa mutini.So they watched Him closely and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. They were hoping to catch Him in His words in order to hand Him over to the rule and authority of the governor.

21Baata baa bamufuuli: «Muyiisi, diayaaba ti we ubaatsuu na ubaayiisi bubwe; we a li na ipengenge pe, ka we li mu uyiisi kuulu a Nziaambi mu ngwanya.“Teacher,” they inquired, “we know that You speak and teach correctly. You show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.

22Ka leele a ti bisi, bisi dili na muswa wa ufutu limaanda kwaa Kayisari oo ngori?»Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Ka Yiisu ayaabi ti mweete bamulebii, wabaleeli: «Dimweese me mukuti a mboongo mosi.But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24Kiinzi na kuumbu bili mu mukuti wu bia na bili?» Bo bavutuli: «Bia Kayisari.»“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Ka Yiisu aleeli kwaa bo: «Divutulu kwaa Kayisari bia Kayisari na kwaa Nziaambi bia Nziaambi.»So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Bo bakooni usololo toono mu ma akileele nha kulu a baata; Ka bo bakimii mu mvutu a nde, ba beeri na pii.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Kaba la basaduki bakihamisa ti a muli na tsimbilili mu babakwa pe, bayiri mu ufuulu Yiisu:Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28«Muyiisi, mono bu Mooso wadisonii: “So muutu li na mwaana a nguu, kwiiri na siisi mukari kwa hele a mwaana, mwaana a nguu a nde afwaana ukweele mukwiili mu uha baana kwaa wakwi.”“Teacher,” they said, “Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

29Kwali baana ba nguu tsaamba. Wa tsiomi akweeli mukaasa, akwi na a abuti mwaana pe.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30Wa boolo aholi mukwiili,Then the second

31na wa mutata ka aholi mukwiili. Boosi ba yili buu natee wa tsaamba, bo bakwi kwa hele a usiisi baana.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Nha tsieelele mukaasa ka akwi.And last of all, the woman died.

33Mu iluumbu kia tsimbilili a babakwa, mukaasa wuu mukari a na akaaba? Mu ndaa ti bo tsaamba bamukweeli!»So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Yiisu aleeli kwaa bo: «Nha tsini a toto nha, babaala na Bakaasa bali mu ukwelisine, na bali mu ukweelise.Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35Ka ba bakaamonuu ba balibweeye mu usiimbuu mu babakwa na ukoto mu tsi yii, a bukweele pe.But those who are considered worthy to share in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage.

36Bo a butuu ubwakwa pe; mu ndaa ti bo bafwaanina na batumu ba Nziaambi, na bali baana ba Nziaambi, bu busiimbuu mu babakwa.In fact, they can no longer die, because they are like the angels. And since they are sons of the resurrection, they are sons of God.

37Mooso ayaabisi ti babakwa sa basiimbuu, mii ni mia yaabisi Mooso mu ndaa a muti waluli mbaa, bu nde ati Pfumu “Nziaambi a Abraami, Nziaambi a Isaki, na Nziaambi a Yaakobi.”Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

38Ka nde a ali pe Nziaambi a babakwa, ka nde Nziaambi a ba bali moonyi; ka mu nde boosi bali moonyi.»He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Ba bamosi mu bayiisi ba mikele bavutuli: «Muyiisi, we tsuyi bubwe.»Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Na a babwituu ufuulu nde nduru so mosi pe.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Yiisu wabaleeli: «Buni butuu uleele ti Kristo ni mwaana a Daavidi?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Ka Daavidi nde makulu aleeli mu mukaanda wa Mikuunga: “Pfumu aleeli kwaa Pfumu a me: Diaala nha koo kia me kia babaala,For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43natee bu me nisuusu mitaata mia we ku tsini a miili mia we.”until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44Daavidi li mu uta nde Pfumu, ka buni nde utuu uba mwaana a nde?»Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Bu baata boosi bakiyuu nde, Yiisu aleeli kwaa miyii mia nde:In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46«Disa mayele mu bayiisi ba mikele. Bo batoono udieenge mu miloopo mimila, batoono babii bo mu makooyi, na usoolo mambata matsiomi mu manzo ma makutunu ma Bayuudayo, na mu mikuungi.“Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, and they love the greetings in the marketplaces, the chief seats in the synagogues, and the places of honor at banquets.

47Bo bali mu upatila biabaa bakwiili, na mu nzala a umonuu bo bubaasa makuundu mamala. Ka pfuundisi a bo sa yiba yavulu mifuri.»They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
