Luke 20 (WBI) · Opened

1kiliva kighono kimo, UYesu ye alyale ivulanisia avaanhu ku nyumba inyimike ja kufunyila na kudalikila ilivangili, avatekesi avavaa na vavulanisi va ndaghilo vakamulutila palikimo na vaghogholo.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.

2vakajova, vakam'bula, 'tuvule kwe kuvutavulua vuliku ghuvumba agha? nambe ghwe veeni ujuo juno akupelile uvutavulua uvu?”“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3ghwope akamula akati, 'najune kange nikuvaposia. munivule“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4ulwofugho lwa Yonani pe lukahumile ku kyanya au kuvaaahu?'John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5neke vakajofesania vavuo ku vavuo, vakatisagha, 'tungati, 'lukahumile kukyanya akutuposia, 'ongo pe namukamwitikile?They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6kange tungati; lukahumile ku vaahu; avaanhu vooni apa kya vikutotava na mavue, lwakuva vooni vikwitika kuuti uYoani alyale m'bili.But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7pe vakamwamula lwa kuva navakakagwile kuno lulyahumile.So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8uYesu akavavula, “najune nanikuvavula umue kwe kuvutavulua vuki nivomba agha.”And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9alyavavulile avaanhu ikihwani iki, “umuunhu jumonga alyavyalile umughunda ghwa misabibu, akaluta iisi ijinge ku nsiki ntali.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.

10ku nsiki ghuno ghunoghile, akansung'ile um'bombi kuvalimi va misabibu, neke avalimi va misabibu vakantova, vakan'gomosia mavoko ghene.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.

11pe akansung'a kange um'bombi ujunge ghwope vakantova, na kum'bombela inyivi, na kukun'gomosia mavoko ghene.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12akansung'a kange ughwa vutatu ghwope vakamulemasia na kukuntagha kunji.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13lino untwa ghwa mughunda akati, 'kya nivomba kiki? nikunsung'a umwanango umughanike. pamo valamwitika.‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14'neke avalimi va sabibu vati vamwaghile, vakajofesania vavuo ku vavuo vakatisagha, 'uju ghwe nya kyuma. tum'bude neke ikyuma kyake kive kitu.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.’

15vakamwumia kunji ku mughunda ghwa misabibu na kukum'buda. pe unyamughunda kwale ikuvavomba kiki?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16ikwisa kukuvabuda avalimi va misabibu, na kukuvapela avange umughunda ughuo”. vope ye vapulike aghuo, vakati, 'uNguluve akanile'.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!”

17neke uYesu akavalola akavaposia, akati, “pe amalembe agha ghali nuvufumbue vuki? ilivue lino avajengi valyalikanile, lino lye livue lya npanguto?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’?

18umuunhu ghweni juno ighua pa kyanya pa livue ilio, idenyeng'ana kyongo. neke jula juno lingamughwile, liku'ndijania kyongo”Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19lino avalembi na vavaha va vatekesi valyalondole isila ja kukun'kola mu nsiki ghughughuo, valyakagwile kuuti alyajovile ikihwani iki kuveene. neke vakavoghwipe avaanhu.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.

20vakamulola vunono, vakasung'a vano viposelesia vano vikuvona kuva vaanhu va kyang'haani, neke vavwaghe uvuhosi ku malembe ghake, neke kun'twala ku vatemi na vanya vutavulua.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.

21vope vakamposia, vakati, “m'bulanisi tukagula kuuti ghujova na kuvulanisia isa lweli kisila kusyangua nu muunhu ghwoghwoni, neke uve ghuvulanisia ilweli kujova isa Nguluve.“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.

22pe lunoghile kulyusue kuhomba isongo kwa Kaisali au nambe?”Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23neke UYesu alyakagwile ulutegho lwavo, akavavula,But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24munisone ihela idinali. ikihwani ni litavua lyani fili kyanya jaake?” vakati, “lya Kaisali”.“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25ughwope uYesu akavavula akati, 'pe mumpele uKaisali ifya kaisali, nu Nguluve ghano gha Nguluve;So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26avalembi na vavaha va vatekesi vakakunilue kukagula kila kino alyajovagha pavulongolo pa vaanhu. vakadegha ulwamulo lwake navakajova kyokyoni.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27avasadukayi vamonga vakamulutila, vala vano vijova kuuti avafue navalasyuka,Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28vakamposia vakati, “m'bulanisi uMoose alyatulembile kuuti nave umuunhu angafwilue nu nyalukolo unya n'dala juno nsila mwana pe anoghile kukuntola un'dala ghwa nyalukolo ghwake na kuhola naghwo vwimila ulumbulie.“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.

29kulyale na vanyalukolo lekela lubale, ughwa kwasia akatola akafua kisila kuleka umwana,Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30nughwa vuvili ghwope.Then the second

31ughwa vutatu akantola vulevule, enendikio ughwa lekela lubale naakalekile avaanha akafua.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32pambele un'dala jula ghwope akafua.And last of all, the woman died.

33lino nave kwelule ulusyuko iiva nd'ala ghwani? ulwakuva vooni lekela lubale valyantolile'.So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34uYesu akavavula, “vaanha va iisi iji vitola na kutolua.Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35neke vala vano vanoghile kukwupila uvusyuko vwa vafue na kukwingila mu vwumi vwa kusila na kusila navitola nambe kutolua.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.

36nambe navala fua kange, ulwakuva viiva palikimo na vanyaMhola ve vaanha va Nguluve, vaanha va vusyuko.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.

37naju Moose alyajovile kuuti avavue vilisyuka. alyajovile uluo mu malembe mu lwa kihinja kino kilyale kivvika, alyatiile u Mutwa ndavule uNguluve, ghwe Nguluve ghwa Abulahamu, ghwe Nguluve ghwa Isaka, kange ghwe Nguluve ghwa Yakovo”.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.’

38lino umwene naghwe Nguluve ghwa vafue, looli avwumi ulwakuva vooni vikukala kwa mwene”.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39pe avavulanisi vamonga ava ndaghilo vakamwamula, vakati m'bulanisi ghwamwile vunono.Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40kutengulila apuo vakava vikwoghopa kukumposia.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41uYesu akavaposia akati, “asi lwa ndani avaanhu viitiuKilisite mwana ghwa Ntwa Davidi?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42ulwakuva uDavidi jujuo alyalembile mu kitabu kya sabuli alyatile, uMutwa alyam'bulile umutwa ghwango ghukale uluvoko lwa kundio,For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43kuhanga nikutange uvaleme avalugu vaako paasi pa maghulu ghako,until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44uDavidi ikunkemela Kilisite 'Mutwa' pe iiva ndani mwana ghwa Davidi”?Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45avaanhu vooni ye valyale vikumpulikisia akavavula avavulanisivua vaake akati,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46mujilolelelaghe na valembi, vano vilonda kughenda kuno vafwalile amenda amatali, na kunoghua kuuti avaanhu vavahungilaghe nu vwoghofi mumapuulo. pano vali mu nyumba isa kufunyila vilonda kukukala ku fitengo ifya kuvulongolo na mu fikulukulu vikukala mu fitengo fya voghopua.“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.

47avaanhu ava vikuunya ifinu ifya vafwile! neke muvukedusi vwake vikufunya inyifuunyo inhaali, kuuti avaaanhu vatisaghe vagholofu. mu uluo uNguluve ikuvapeela ulupumuko ulukome kukila.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
