Luka 20
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Siku moja, Yesu alipokuwa akiwafundisha watu Hekaluni na kuwahubiria juu ya Habari Njema, makuhani wakuu na walimu wa Sheria pamoja na wazee walifika,
1And it came to pass, that on one of the days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, with the ancients, met together,
2wakasema, “Tuambie! Unafanya mambo haya kwa mamlaka gani?”
2And spoke to him, saying: Tell us, by what authority dost thou these things? or, Who is he that hath given thee this authority?
3Yesu akawaambia, “Na mimi nitawaulizeni swali:
3And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one thing. Answer me:
4mamlaka ya Yohane ya kubatiza yalitoka kwa Mungu au kwa watu?”
4The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
5Lakini wao wakajadiliana hivi: “Tukisema yalitoka mbinguni, yeye atatuuliza: Mbona hamkumsadiki?
5But they thought within themselves, saying: If we shall say, From heaven: he will say: Why then did you not believe him?
6Na tukisema yalitoka kwa binadamu, watu wote hapa watatupiga mawe, maana wote wanaamini kwamba Yohane alikuwa nabii.”
6But if we say, Of men, the whole people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.
7Basi, wakamwambia, “Hatujui mamlaka hayo yalitoka wapi.”
7And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.
8Yesu akawaambia, “Hata mimi sitawaambia ninafanya mambo haya kwa mamlaka gani.”
8And Jesus said to them: Neither do I tell thee by what authority I do these things.
9Yesu akaendelea kuwaambia watu mfano huu: “Mtu mmoja alilima shamba la mizabibu, akalikodisha kwa wakulima; kisha akasafiri hadi nchi ya mbali, akakaa huko kwa muda mrefu.
9And he began to speak to the people this parable: A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen: and he was abroad for a long time.
10Wakati wa mavuno, mtu huyo alimtuma mtumishi wake kwa wale wakulima, akachukue sehemu ya matunda ya shamba la mizabibu. Lakini wale wakulima wakampiga mtumishi huyo wakamrudisha mikono mitupu.
10And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. Who, beating him, sent him away empty.
11Yule bwana akamtuma tena mtumishi mwingine; lakini wao wakampiga huyo vilevile na kumtendea vibaya, wakamrudisha mikono mitupu.
11And again he sent another servant. But they beat him also, and treating him reproachfully, sent him away empty.
12Akamtuma tena wa tatu; huyu naye, baada ya kumwumiza, wakamfukuza.
12And again he sent the third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13Yule mwenye shamba akafikiri: Nitafanya nini? Nitamtuma mwanangu mpenzi; labda watamjali yeye.
13Then the lord of the vineyard said: What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be, when they see him, they will reverence him.
14Wale wakulima walipomwona tu, wakasemezana: Huyu ndiye mrithi. Basi, tumwue ili urithi wake uwe wetu.
14Whom when the husbandmen saw, they thought within themselves, saying: This is the heir, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15Basi, wakamtoa nje ya lile shamba la mizabibu, wakamwua.” Yesu akauliza, “Yule mwenye shamba atawafanya nini hao wakulima?
15So casting him out of the vineyard, they killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
16Atakuja kuwaangamiza wakulima hao, na atawapa wakulima wengine hilo shamba la mizabibu.” Watu waliposikia maneno hayo, walisema: “Hasha! Yasitukie hata kidogo!”
16He will come, and will destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others. Which they hearing, said to him: God forbid.
17Lakini Yesu akawatazama, akawaambia, “Maandiko haya Matakatifu yana maana gani basi? Jiwe walilokataa waashi, sasa limekuwa jiwe kuu la msingi!
17But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
18Mtu yeyote akianguka juu ya jiwe hilo, atavunjika vipandevipande; na likimwangukia mtu yeyote, litamsaga kabisa.”
18Whosoever shall fall upon that stone, shall be bruised: and upon whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
19Walimu wa Sheria na makuhani wakuu walifahamu kwamba mfano huo ulikuwa unawahusu, na hivyo walitaka kumkamata palepale, ila tu waliogopa watu.
19And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him the same hour: but they feared the people, for they knew that he spoke this parable to them.
20Basi, wakawa wanatafuta wakati wa kufaa. Wakawahonga watu fulani wajisingizie kuwa wema, wakawatuma wamnase Yesu kwa maswali, na hivyo waweze kumtia nguvuni na kumpeleka kwa wakuu wa serikali.
20And being upon the watch, they sent spies, who should feign themselves just, that they might take hold of him in his words, that they might deliver him up to the authority and power of the governor.
21Hao wapelelezi wakamwambia, “Mwalimu, tunajua kwamba unasema na kufundisha mambo ya kweli; tunajua kwamba wewe huna ubaguzi; wewe wafundisha ukweli juu ya njia ya Mungu.
21And they asked him, saying: Master, we know that thou speakest and teachest rightly: and thou dost not respect any person, but teachest the way of God in truth.
22Basi, twambie kama ni halali, au la, kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari!”
22Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or no?
23Yesu alitambua mtego wao, akawaambia,
23But he considering their guile, said to them: Why tempt you me?
24“Nionyesheni sarafu. Je, sura na chapa ni vya nani?”
24Shew me a penny. Whose image and inscription hath it? They answering, said to him, Caesar’s.
25Nao wakamjibu, “Ni vya Kaisari.” Yesu akawaambia, “Basi, mpeni Kaisari vilivyo vyake Kaisari, na Mungu vilivyo vyake Mungu.”
25And he said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s: and to God the things that are God’s.
26Hawakufaulu kumnasa kwa neno lolote pale mbele ya watu na hivyo wakakaa kimya wakilistaajabia jibu lake.
26And they could not reprehend his word before the people: and wondering at his answer, they held their peace.
27Kisha Masadukayo, ambao husema kwamba wafu hawafufuki, wakamjia Yesu, wakasema:
27And there came to him some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is any resurrection, and they asked him,
28“Mwalimu, Mose alituandikia kwamba kama ndugu ya mtu fulani akifa na kumwacha mjane wake bila watoto, ni lazima ndugu yake amchukue huyo mama mjane, amzalie watoto ndugu yake marehemu.
28Saying: Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he leave no children, that his brother should take her to wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29Sasa, wakati mmoja kulikuwa na ndugu saba. Yule wa kwanza alioa na baadaye akafa bila kuacha mtoto.
29There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30Yule ndugu wa pili akamwoa yule mjane, naye pia, akafa;
30And the next took her to wife, and he also died childless.
31na ndugu wa tatu vilevile. Mambo yakawa yaleyale kwa wote saba—wote walikufa bila kuacha watoto.
31And the third took her. And in like manner all the seven, and they left no children, and died.
32Mwishowe akafa pia yule mwanamke.
32Last of all the woman died also.
33Je, siku wafu watakapofufuliwa, mwanamke huyo atakuwa mke wa nani? Alikuwa ameolewa na wote saba.”
33In the resurrection therefore, whose wife of them shall she be? For all the seven had her to wife.
34Yesu akawaambia, “Watu wa nyakati hizi huoa na kuolewa;
34And Jesus said to them: The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35lakini wale ambao Mungu atawawezesha kushiriki ule wakati wa ufufuo, hawataoa wala kuolewa.
35But they that shall be accounted worthy of that world, and of the resurrection from the dead, shall neither be married, nor take wives.
36Ama hakika, hawawezi kufa tena, kwa sababu watakuwa kama malaika, na ni watoto wa Mungu kwa vile wamefufuliwa katika wafu.
36Neither can they die any more: for they are equal to the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
37Lakini, kwamba kuna kufufuka kutoka wafu, hata Mose alithibitisha jambo hilo katika Maandiko Matakatifu. Katika sehemu ya Maandiko Matakatifu juu ya kile kichaka kilichokuwa kinawaka moto, anamtaja Bwana kama Mungu wa Abrahamu, Isaka na Yakobo.
37Now that the dead rise again, Moses also shewed, at the bush, when he called the Lord, The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
38Basi, yeye si Mungu wa wafu, bali ni Mungu wa wale walio hai; maana wale aliowaita kwake, wanaishi naye.”
38For he is not the God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him.
39Baadhi ya wale walimu wa Sheria wakasema, “Mwalimu, umejibu vema kabisa.”
39And some of the scribes answering, said to him: Master, thou hast said well.
40Walisema hivyo kwa sababu hawakuthubutu kumwuliza tena maswali mengine.
40And after that they durst not ask him any more questions.
41Yesu akawauliza, “Yasemekanaje kwamba Kristo ni mwana wa Daudi?
41But he said to them: How say they that Christ is the son of David?
42Maana Daudi mwenyewe anasema katika Zaburi: Bwana alimwambia Bwana wangu: Keti upande wangu wa kulia
42And David himself saith in the book of Psalms: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
43mpaka niwafanye adui zako kama kiti cha kuwekea miguu yako.
43Till I make thy enemies thy footstool.
44Ikiwa Daudi anamwita yeye, Bwana, basi atakuwaje mwanawe?”
44David then calleth him Lord: and how is he his son?
45Yesu aliwaambia wanafunzi wake mbele ya watu wote,
45And in the hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples:
46“Jihadharini na walimu wa Sheria ambao hupenda kupitapita wamevalia kanzu. Hupenda kusalimiwa na watu kwa heshima masokoni, huketi mahali pa heshima katika masunagogi na kuchukua nafasi za heshima katika karamu.
46Beware of the scribes, who desire to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplace, and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts:
47Huwadhulumu wajane huku wakisingizia kuwa wema kwa kusali sala ndefu. Hao watapata hukumu kali zaidi!”
47Who devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayer. These shall receive greater damnation.
