Luke 20 (ZAK) · Opened

1Orusiku rumwe Yeesu ahaabha mwiiseengerero rya Taatabhugya, areegya abhaatu na kubharwaazira Amangʼana Amazomu ga Taatabhugya. Niho abhakuru bha abhaseengeri, abheegya bhe emigiro na abhakaruka bha Abhayahudi bhakamuuzaku,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.

2bhakamubhuurya, “Garya okoriri, oragakora kwo obhuturoki? Ni weewi akuheeri obhuturo bhuyo?”“Tell us,” they said, “by what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?”

3Yeesu akabhakyoora, “Na neenye ndabhabhuurya eriingʼana rimwe. Mumbuurire,“I will also ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “Tell Me:

4obhuturo bhwa Yohana bhwo okubatiiza abhaatu bhukarwa ku Taatabhugya wuno ari mwiisaaro kasi kubhaatu?”John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or from men?”

5Hayo, bhaari bhariibhuurya abheene bharabhuga, “Turaabhuge, bhukarwa mwiisaaro, aratubhuurya, ‘Ambe! Ndora mutaamwiikiriirye?’They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why did you not believe him?’

6Na turaamukyoore kubha obhuturo bhwaaye bhurwiiri kubhaatu, ambe abhaatu bhoosi bharatutema amagina, kwo okubha bhariikirirya kubha Yohana yaari omurooti.”But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are convinced that John was a prophet.”

7Kweego, bhakamubhuurira, “Tutamenyiri obhuturo bhwaaye bhukarweera hayi.”So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

8Yeesu akabhabhuurira, “Na neenye nitakubhabhuurira ni kwo obhuturoki ndakora gano.”And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

9Niho, Yeesu akabhabhuurira abhaatu ekireengyo kino. Akabhuga, “Yaari ariho omuutu wumwe, akeemya emizabibu mumuguundu gwaaye, akabhasagarya abharimi bhaguriibhe. Ewe, akagya orugeendo, akamara eyo eziisiku nzaru.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.

10Eriibhaga ryo okugesa eziizabibu hano ryahikiri, akamutuma owumwe wa abhagya kubharimi bhaaye bharya, okubha bhamuhe esoondo yaaye ye eziizabibu okurwa mumuguundu gwaaye. Nawe, hano omugya yahikiri, abharimi bhayo bhakamutema, bhakamuheebha mabhoko bhusa.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.

11“Mweene muguundu, akamutuma omugya owuundi. Nawe woosi bhakamutema no okumukorera obhubhi bhukongʼu, kyaamwe bhakamuheebha mabhoko bhusa.So he sent another servant, but they beat him and treated him shamefully, sending him away empty-handed.

12Akamutuma omugya wa katatu. Wuyo woosi bhakamunyahaara, bhakamuheebha.Then he sent a third, but they wounded him and threw him out.

13“Mubhuteero, mweene muguundu akabhuga, ‘Bhoono, nikorebhwi? Orugeendo runo, ndamutuma omwaana waane omuseegwa! Hamwe bharamusuuka ewe.’‘What shall I do?’ asked the owner of the vineyard. ‘I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14“Nawe, hano abharimi bhaamuruuzi, bhakagaambana, ‘Wuno niwe omugabhi we ebhigiro bhya wiise. Tumwiite, engabho yaaye ebhe eyeetu.’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.’

15Kimwe, bhakamuruusya mumuguundu, bhakamwiita.” Niho Yeesu akabhabhuurya, “Bhoono, mweene muguundu wuyo arabhakorabhwi abharimi bhayo?So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

16Araaze no okubhiita, no omuguundu guyo, arabhasagarya abhaandi!” Hano abhaatu bhakiigwa amangʼana gayo, bhakabhuga, “Gayo gatatuuka kweeki!”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!”

17Yeesu akabhamogorera, akabhabhuurya, “Bhoono mbe! Amakaamo gano gano obhugazuroki? ‘Eriigina rino abhoomboki bhaaryaangiri, niryo ribheeri eriigina eriikuru ryo obhurusa.’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’?

18“Ambe, omuutu wowoosi wuno akubha agweereeri eriigina riyo, arabhunika. Kweeki, omuutu wuno eriigina riyo riraamugweere, riramubhoondora bhukongʼu.”Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”

19Abheegya bhe emigiro bhayo na abhakuru bha abhaseengeri, bhakamenya kubha ekireengyo kino ni kwiiguru waabhu. Kweego bhakeenda kumumamira hayohayo, nawe bhakoobhoha esaango ya abhaatu.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.

20Kweego abhakuru bha Abhayahudi, bhaari bharamwiisuunza Yeesu bhukongʼu, bhakatuma abhazuzuumi. Abhazuzuumi bhayo, bhakiikora kubha ni bhaatu bhe eheene. Nawe, bhaari ne ekeembo yo okumutega Yeesu kumangʼana gaaye, bhamugwaate no okumuhira kumwaanaangwa we Ekirooma, okubha azoongeerwe.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.

21Kweego, abhazuzuumi bhakamubhuurya, “Ee Omweegya, tumenyiri kubha engʼana yino okugaamba no okweegya ni nzomu. Awe otakwaahura naabhe obhukuru bhwo omuutu, nawe oreegya enzira ya Taatabhugya kwo obhuheene.“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.

22Awee! Emigiro gya Musa giriikirirya, tumurihe Kaisari eriigooti, kasi tutamuriha?”Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”

23Rugeendo rumwe Yeesu akamenya omukoonyo gwaabhu, akabhabhuurira,But Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

24“Munierekye orubhirya rwe edinaari. Epicha yino ne eriina rino, ni bhya weewi?” Bhakamubhuurira, “Ni bhya Kaisari.”“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

25Yeesu akabhabhuurira, “Ambe, bhya Kaisari, muhaane Kaisari. Na bhya Taatabhugya, muhaane Taatabhugya.”So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”

26Eriikyooro riyo rya Yeesu, rikabharuguurya bhukongʼu, bhakakira. Bhakatamwa okumutega kumangʼana gano akabhuga embere ya abhaatu.And they were unable to trap Him in His words before the people. And amazed at His answer, they fell silent.

27Kweego Abhasadukayo abhaandi bhakaaza ku Yeesu. Abhasadukayo bhaheegya kubha, abhaku bhatakuryooka kweeki. Bhakamubhuurya Yeesu,Then some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to question Him.

28“Omweegya, Musa akatukaamira kubha, ‘Eraabhe omuutu akuuri na atigiri omukaaye akyaari kwiibhura, wamwaabhu amugabhe omutuumba wuyo, okubha amwiibhurire wamwaabhu omwaana.’“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.

29Tubhuge, bhaari bhariho abhahiiri muhuungati. Wo okutaanga akakweera omukari, akakwa akyaari kutiga omwaana.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a wife but died childless.

30Omusuuhu waaye wuyo wa kabhiri, akamugabha omutuumba wuyo, woosi akakwa.Then the second

31Ekabha egoego ku wa katatu, woosi akamukweera, akakwa. Ekabha egoego kubhoosi muhuungati, bhakakweera omukari wuyowuyo, bhakakwa bhataatigiri mwaana.and the third married the widow, and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

32Mubhuteero, omutuumba wuyo woosi akakwa.And last of all, the woman died.

33Ambe otubhuurire, eraabhe obhuryoori bhurabhaho, omutuumba wuyo arabha omukari wawi? Bhoosi muhuungati bharya bhakamukweera no okumugabha.”So then, in the resurrection, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

34Yeesu akabhabhuurira, “Abhaatu bhe eriibhaga rino bhano bhakukweera no okukweerwa.Jesus answered, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.

35Nawe, bhano Taatabhugya abharuuzi bhareenderwa okuryoorwa mubhaku no okwiikara kukyaaro ekihya, bhayo bhatakukweera naabhe kukweerwa kweeki.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.

36Na bhatakukwa kweeki, kwo okubha bharabha kya bhamaraika. Bharabha abhaana bha Taatabhugya, kwo okubha bhararyoorwa mubhaku.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.

37“Naabhe Musa akazweenia abhaatu kubha abhaku bhararyoorwa. Mumakaamo gano akakaama iguru ye ekisaka kirya kino kyaari kwaaka omuriro, akabhuga Omukuru niwe ‘Taatabhugya wa Aburahamu, Isaaka na Yaakobo.’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.’

38Kweego, yiingabha abhatatu bhayo bhaari bhakuuri eziisiku nzaru, Taatabhugya akabhuga bhayo ni bhahoru kweewe! Kweego, abhaatu abhaku na abhahoru, bhoosi ni bhahoru mumeeso gaaye.”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to Him all are alive.”

39Niho, abheegya bhe emigiro abhaandi bhakabhuga, “Omweegya, ogaambiri bhuzomu!”Some of the scribes answered, “Teacher, You have spoken well!”

40Okutaanga eriibhaga riyo, bhaari bharoobhoha kumubhuurya Yeesu amabhuuryo agaandi.And they did not dare to question Him any further.

41Nawe, Yeesu akabhabhuurya abheegya bhayo, “Kwaki abhaatu bharabhuga kubha, Masiya ni mwaana wo omutemi Daudi?Then Jesus declared, “How can it be said that the Christ is the Son of David?

42Daudi omweene, mukitabhu kya Zaburi, akabhuga, ‘Omukuru, Taatabhugya akamubhuurira Omukuru waane, “Wiikare orubhaara rwaane rwo obhuryo,For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand

43tee hano nikutuura abhabhisa bhaazo iyaasi wa amaguru gaazo.” ’until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”’

44“Eraabhe Daudi aramubhirikira Masiya, ‘Omukuru,’ bhoono erabhabhwi Masiya abhe kweeki omwaana waaye?”Thus David calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”

45Hano abhaatu bhe esaango bhaari bharamwiitegeerera, Yeesu akabhabhuurira abhaanabheega bhaaye,In the hearing of all the people, Jesus said to His disciples,

46“Mwiiriihe na abheegya bhe emigiro gya Musa. Bhano bhakuseega kugeenda kunzira bhiibhohiri emyeenda gyaabhu emitaambi, no okukeeribhwa kwo obhusuuku mumiteera. Kweeki, muziinyuumba zye eziisaango, bharaseega kwiikara kubhituumbi bhye embere. Ne eraabhe bhabharaarikiri muziinyaangi, bharaseega kwiikara hano abhagini bho obhusuuku bhakwiikara.“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.

47Bharabhateesya abhatuumba eziinyuumba zyaabhu. Na bhariiyeerekya kubhaatu kwo okusabha amasabhi mataambi bhukongʼu embere wa abhaatu. Murusiku rwo okutina ekiina, abhaatu bhayo bharabhona obhutemwa bhukuru okurwa ku Taatabhugya.”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
