Luke 20 (YOM) · Opened

1Lumbu kimosi Yesu bu kaba longa batu mu nzo Nzambi, wuba kuba samunina Nsamu Wumbote ; zimbukila bapfumu banganga Nzambi, minlongi mi mina ayi bakulutu ba batu bayiza,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.

2banyuvula : —Wutukamba mu lulendo mbi wulembu vangila mambu momo ? Voti nani wuvana lulendo beni e ?“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Yesu mamvandi wuba kamba : —Minu mamvama kiuvu kimosi kidi yama mu kuluyuvula.“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4Bika lukhamba : mbotokolo yi Yowani, ku diyilu yiba voti kuidi batu e ?John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Buna beka lembu kayindulanga mu bawu veka. Buna baniunguta : enati tutubidi ti : “Ku diyilu” buna maka tuyuvula “vayi bila mbi lusia kunwilukila ko e ?”They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Vayi enati tutubidi ti “kuidi batu” buna batu boso maba tuvondila mu matadi bila batu boso bazebi ti Yowani wuba mbikudi.But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Buna bavutula ti basi zaba ko kuevi kaba.So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Buna Yesu wuba vutudila : —Minu mamvama, ndilendi kulukamba ko kani mu lulendo lu nani ndilembu vangila mambu mama.And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Bosi wukamba batu nongi yayi : —Mutu wumosi wukuna ndima yi vinu ; wuyekudila yawu minkuni muingi mimvananga ndambu yi mimbutu mu kadika mvu ayi wuyenda mu nzietolo mu mimvu miwombo.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.

10Mu thangu yimvelungu makundi ma vinu, wutuma kisadi kiandikimosi kuidi minkuni bi ndima muingi mimvana ndambu yi mimbutu mi vinu vayi minkuni mi ndima mintuta khuba ayi mimvutula mioko yi mioko.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.

11Wubuela fidisa diaka kisadi kinkaka. Mamvandi wututu khuba, wufingu ayi mimvutula mioko yi mioko.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Pfumu yi ndima wubuela fidisa diaka kisadi kintatu vayi minkuni mi ndima minlueka ayi minloza ku nganda yi ndima.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13Buna pfumu yi ndima wutuba : A mbi ndieka vanga e ? Ndieka fidisamuanꞌama wu luzolo ; mananga bela kummona lukinzu bu bela kummona.‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14Vayi minkuni mi ndima bu mimmona, mitubana bawu na bawu : “Tala mutu wela vinginina ndima, bika tumvonda muingi ndima beniyikituka yeto veka !”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.’

15Buna minkoka ku nganda yi ndima ayi mimvonda ! Buna pfumu yi ndima mbi kela vangila minkuni mi ndima e ?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Buna wela kuiz, wela vondisa minkuni mi ndima ayi wela yekudila ndima beni kuidi minkuni minkaka. Batu bobo bawa, bamvutudila : —Bulendi baka bu bela ko.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!”

17Vayi niandi wuba tala ayi wuba kamba : —Buna masonuku mama mbi mansundula : Ditadi diloza mintungi dikituka ditadi di mfunu diodi didi va fuma ki nzoBut 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’?

18woso wela bua va yilu ditadi beni wela keluka tsingu ayi woso mutu ditadi beni diela builu wela kosakana.Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi ayi minlongi mi mina batomba mu thangu yina kaka, mu kunkanga vayi bamona batu tsisi bila basudika kuawu ti bawukavekula bu katuba nongo yoyi.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.

20Buna batona kumfiela ; diawu bamfidisila batu mu diambu bamfiela. Batu beni baba kukimonikisanga batu basonga mu diambu bambuidila mu moso kuandi mambu kakuiza tubi muingi banyekula mu mioko mi zuzi ayi mu luyalu lu nyadi.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.

21Buna batubeni banyuvula : —A Nlongi, tuzebi ti ngeyo weta tubila mu busonga ayi weta longila mu busonga. Ngeyo wutalanga bizizi bi batu ko vayi weta longila mu bukiedika nzila yi Nzambi.“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.

22A buevi, minsua midi yetu mu futa phaku kuidi Sezali voti tuisi ko minsua e ?Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Bu kabakula mayuya mawu, buna wuba kamba :But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24—Mbonisanu sengo kimosi ki denali ! Mfikula yayi yi nani ayi bisono biabi binani e ? Bamvutudila ti bi Sezali.“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Buna wuba kamba ti : —Bika luvana bi Sezali kuidi Sezali bosi bi Nzambi kuidi Nzambi.So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Basia nunga ko kumbuidila mu mambu makatuba va meso ma batu. Basimina bu bawa mvutu andi ayi basia baka diaka diambu di tuba ko.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Ndambu Basaduki, batu bobo kaba kikininanga ko ti batu beti fuluka, bafikama ayi banyuvula kiuvu :Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28—A nlongi, Moyize wutusonikina ti : enati mutu fuidi vayi kasia bika muana ko, buna khombꞌandi yi bakala kafueti vinginina nketo wowo kabikidi muingi kabutila khombꞌandi bana.“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.

29Vayi vaba tsambudidi bakhomba zi babakala. Wutheti wukuela, wufuamu kambu bika muana,Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30wummuadi, ayi wowo wuntatu bankuela. Buawu bobo buvangimina mu bawu boso,Then the second

31bawu tsambudi bafua mu kambu bika bana.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Ku nzimunina bawu boso nketo beni mamvandi wufua.And last of all, the woman died.

33Mu thangu yi mfulukulu, wela ba nketo wu nani bila wuba nketo wu tsambudi di bakhomba ziozo e ?So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Yesu wuba vutudila : —Bana ba ntoto wawu balembo kuedi ayi balembo kuedisaJesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35vayi bobo bela monika ti bafueni mu tula mu thangu yinkuiza ayi mu fuluka mu bafua balendi buela kuela ko ayi balendi buela kuedusu ko.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.

36Bila balendi buela fua ko bila beka banga zimbasi ayi beka banaba Nzambi, bana ba mfulukulu.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.

37Moyize wutelama kimbangi ti bafua bela fuluka mu nzila yi finti fiba lema. Bila kuna katedila Pfumu ti : Nzambi yi Abalahami, Nzambi yi Izaki, Nzambi yi Yakobi.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.’

38Vayi niandi kasi Nzambi yi bafua ko vayi Nzambi yi batu banzinga. Bila kuidi niandi, bawu boso balembu zingi.He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Buna ndambu minlongi mi mina mitaba : —A nlongi, vutudi bumbote.Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Basia buela kunyuvula kadi diambu dimosi ko.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Buna Yesu wuba yuvula : —A buevi beta tubila ti Klisto widi muana wu Davidi e ?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Bila niandi veka Davidi wutuba mu minkunga : Pfumu wukamba kuidi Pfumu ama : Vuanda va koko kuama ku lubakalaFor David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43nate ndimanisa tula bambeni ziaku banga tetuku kiaku ki malu maku.until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44Davidi wunkuntedila Pfumu, buna buevi kalenda buela bela muanꞌandi e ?Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Sumbu batu boso bawa, buna wukamba minlonguki miandi :In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46—Lulubukila minlongi mi mina mimmonanga khini mu diatilanga mu mazuela ma mula ayi minzolanga baba vaninanga zimbote mu mazandu, minzolanga vuandanga mu bibuangu binzitusu mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu ayi mu minyengo.“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.

47Minlongi beni mi mina minyibanga mu zinzo zi mafuola ayi mieta vunikisa sambila zitsambulu zi mula. Bawu bela baka thumbudulu yi lutidi ngolo.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
