Luke 20 (XNJ) · Opened

1Ligono 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.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, “Utijovelayi! Wikita mambu aga kwa uhotola gani?” Ndi yani mweakupelili uhotola wenuwo?“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Yesu akavajovela, “Na nene yati nikuvakota likotesi,“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4wu, uhotola wa Yohani wa kubatiza, wahumili kwa Chapanga amala kwa vandu?”John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Vakakotana vene kwa vene, “Tikajova wahumili kwa Chapanga, yati akutikota, ‘Ndava kyani mwamsadiki lepi?’They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Nambu 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 convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Vakamyangula, “Timmanyi lepi kwegahumili.”So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Yesu akavajovela, “Na nene nikuvajovela lepi nikita mambu genago kwa uhotola wa yani.”And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Yesu 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 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.

10Lukumbi 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 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.

11Mkolo mgunda amtumili kavili mvanda yungi, nambu vene mewawa vakamtova na kumliga na kumvinga mawoko gawaka.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Kangi akamutuma mvanda wa datu, mwenuyo ndi vakamulemasa na kumtaga kuvala.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13Mkolo mgunda yula akahololela, ‘Yati nikita kyani? Yati nikumtuma mwana vangu ngayuyoyo wa chiganu, manya mwenuyo yati vakumtopesa.‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14Nambu valimaji vala, pevamuweni, vakajovesana, mwenuyu ndi mhali waki. Hinu timkomayi muni uhali waki uvya witu!’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.’

15Ndi, vakamuwusa kuvala ya mgunda wula wa mizabibu, vakamukoma.” Yesu akavakota, “Mkolo mgunda yula yati akuvakita kyani valimaji vala?”So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner 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 kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.” And when the people heard this, they said, “May such a thing never happen!”

17Nambu Yesu akavalolokesa na kuvakota. Mayandiku Gamsopi aga mana yaki kyani? Liganga levabeli vajengaji, hinu ndi liganga likulu la kutumbula pakujenga.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’?

18Mundu yoyoha akagwilila panani ya liganga lenilo yati idenyekana hipandi hipandi, na liganga lenilo lakamgwilila mundu yoyoha ndi likumuyaga nyiminyimi.Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Vawula va Malagizu na vakulu va kuteta vamanyili kuvya luhumu lwenuwo ukuvavala vene, ndi vaganayi kumkamula bahapo, nambu vayogwipi vandu.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.

20Vamlandili 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.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.

21Vamang'omesi vala vakamjovela, “Muwula timanyili kuvya wijova na wiwula mambu gachakaka, wala nakumlola mundu pamihu ndi wiwula uchakaka munjila ya Chapanga.“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.

22Ndi 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?”

23Nambu Yesu amanyili likoka lavi, akavajovela,But Jesus saw through their duplicity 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 inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Yesu akavajovela, “Hinu mumpela nkosi wa ku Loma vyaki nkosi wa ku Loma na mumpela Chapanga vyaki Chapanga.”So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Vahotwili lepi kumyonjola hati kwa lilovi limonga palongolo ya vandu, vakakangasa kwa mayangula gaki vakaguna.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Kangi Vasadukayu, vevijova kuvya vevafwili viyuka lepi, vakambwelela Yesu, vakajova,Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question 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.“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.

29Hinu, kwavili na valongo saba va lukolo lumonga. Mhaja wavi agegili mdala, afwili changaleka mwana.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30Mbena waki yula akamhala lipwela, mwene mewa afwili changali mwana,Then the second

31hati mbena waki wa datu akamhala, mambu gakavya galagala voha saba vafwili, changali kuvelekisa vana.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Pamwishu, mdala yula afwili.And last of all, the woman died.

33Wu, palukumbi lwa vevafwili kuyukiswa, mdala yula alavya mdala wa yani? Muni agegiwi na voha saba.”So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Yesu akayangula, “Vandu va lusenje lwa hinu vigega na kugegewa,Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35Nambu vala vevahaguliwi na veviganikiwa kupewa wumi wa mulima wula, na kuyukiswa kula kuhuma kwa vevafwili, vigega lepi amala kugegewa.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.

36Chakaka vifwa lepi kavili ndava viwanangana na vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga, ndi vana vaki Chapanga, ndava ya kuyukiswa kwavi.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.

37Hati, 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.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.’

38Mwene, lepi Chapanga wa vevafwili nambu kwa vamumi, ndava muni kwa mwene voha vilama.”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Vawula va malagizu vangi va Musa vakajova, “Muwula, uvayangwili hotohoto!”Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Vandu vala vayogwipi kumkota kavili makotesi gangi.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Yesu akavakota, vandu vijova wuli, Kilisitu Msangula ndi mwana wa chiveleku cha Daudi?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Muni Daudi mwene ajovili muchitabu cha Zabuli, Bambu, amjovili Bambu wangu, Tama muchiwoko changu cha kulyelaFor David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43hati nivavika makoko vaku pahi pa magendelu gaku.until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44Ngati Daudi akumkemela mwene, Bambu, hinu yihotoleka wuli, kuvya mwana waki?Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Yesu avajovili vawuliwa vaki palongolo ya vandu voha,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus 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. 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.

47Vinyaga nyumba za vapwela kwa kuchenjela, na viyupa kwa Chapanga lukumbi lutali, muni valolekanayi na vandu kuvya vabwina. Yati vihamuliwa neju kuliku vangi!”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
