Olugero lw’Abalimi Ababi

12 (A)Awo Yesu n’atandika okwogera nabo mu ngero, ng’agamba nti, “Waaliwo omusajja eyalima ennimiro y’emizabbibu, n’ateeka olukomera okugyetooloola, n’ateekamu essogolero, n’azimbamu n’omunaala, n’agifuniramu abalimi abaagipangisa, n’agenda olugendo. Ekiseera ky’amakungula bwe kyatuuka, n’abatumira omuddu okufuna ebibala okuva mu nnimiro ey’emizabbibu. Naye bwe yatuuka ku nnimiro abalimi ne bamukuba ne bamusindika n’addayo ngalo nsa. Nannyini nnimiro n’atuma omuddu we omulala, oyo ne bamukuba olubale, ne bamuswaza. Omubaka omulala gwe yatuma baamutta bussi, ate abalala be yazzaako okutuma, abamu baabakuba n’abalala ne babatta.

(B)“Yali asigazzaawo omu yekka ow’okutuma, ye mutabani we omwagalwa. Bw’atyo n’amutuma gye bali ng’agamba nti, ‘Bajja kussaamu mutabani wange ekitiibwa.’

“Naye abalimi abo ne bateesa bokka na bokka nti, Ono ye musika, mujje tumutte ebyobusika tubyesigalize! Awo ne bamukwata ne bamutta omulambo gwe ne bagusuula ebweru w’ennimiro y’emizabbibu.

“Mulowooza nannyini nnimiro alikola atya? Agenda kujja, abalimi abo bonna abazikirize, ennimiro ye agipangiseemu abalimi abalala. 10 (C)Temusomangako byawandiikibwa nti,

“ ‘Ejjinja abazimbi lye baagaana,
    lye lifuuse ejjinja ekkulu ery’oku nsonda.
11 (D)Ekyo Mukama ye yakikola
    era kitwewuunyisa nnyo okukiraba.’ ”

12 (E)Abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne bamanya ng’olugero lwali lukwata ku bo, olwo ne banoonya engeri gye bayinza okumukwata, naye ne batya ekibiina. Ne bamuviira ne bagenda.

Okuwa Kayisaali Omusolo

13 (F)Ne bamuweereza abamu ku Bafalisaayo n’Abakerodiyaani boogere, bagezeeko okumutega mu bigambo. 14 Awo ne bajja gy’ali ne bamugamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, tumanyi ng’oyogera mazima era tolina gw’otya. Toffaayo ku nfaanana y’abantu, wabula amazima ameereere, era oyigiriza ekkubo lya Katonda. Kituufu okuwa Kayisaali omusolo oba tetugumuwa?”[a]

15 Naye Yesu n’ategeera obunnanfuusi bwabwe n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki munkema. Mundeetere ensimbi ngirabe.” 16 Ne bagimuleetera, n’ababuuza nti, “Ekifaananyi kino n’ebiwandiiko ebiri ku nsimbi kuno by’ani?”

Ne bamuddamu nti, “Bya Kayisaali.”

17 (G)N’abagamba nti, “Kale ebintu bya Kayisaali mubiwenga Kayisaali n’ebya Katonda, mubiwenga Katonda!”

Ne bamwewuunya nnyo.

Yesu Abuuzibwa ku by’Okuzuukira

18 (H)Awo Abasaddukaayo abagamba nti tewali kuzuukira, ne bamubuuza nti, 19 (I)“Omuyigiriza, Musa yatuwa etteeka erigamba nti omusajja omufumbo bw’afanga nga tazadde baana, muganda w’omufu awasenga nnamwandu wa muganda we oyo alyoke amuzaalire abaana. 20 Waaliwo abooluganda musanvu, mukulu waabwe n’awasa, Oluvannyuma n’afa nga tazadde baana. 21 Muto w’omufu kwe kuwasa nnamwandu wa mukulu we, waayitawo akabanga katono naye n’afa, nga naye tazadde mwana. Muganda w’omufu amuddako n’awasa nnamwandu oyo, naye n’atazaala. 22 Bonna omusanvu ne bafa ne baggwaawo. Oluvannyuma n’omukazi naye n’afa. 23 Kale, mu kuzuukira kw’abafu omukazi oyo aliba muka ani, kubanga bonna yabafumbirwako?”

24 (J)Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ekibaleetedde okukyama bwe butamanya byawandiikibwa, n’obutategeera maanyi ga Katonda. 25 (K)Kubanga bwe balizuukira mu bafu tebagenda kufumbiriganwa, kubanga bonna baliba nga bamalayika bwe bali mu ggulu. 26 (L)Ate ebifa ku kuzuukira kw’abafu, temusomanga mu kitabo Musa bwe yali ku kisaka Katonda n’amugamba nti, ‘Nze Katonda wa Ibulayimu era Katonda wa Isaaka era Katonda wa Yakobo?’ 27 Katonda si Katonda w’abafu, wabula ow’abalamu. Mukyamye nnyo.”

Etteeka Ekkulu

28 (M)Awo omu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka eyali ayimiridde awo ng’awuliriza bye baali beebuuza, n’ategeera nga Yesu azzeemu bulungi. Naye n’amubuuzaayo nti, “Mu mateeka gonna, erisingamu obukulu lye liruwa?”

29 Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ery’olubereberye lye lino nti, ‘Wulira, Isirayiri! Mukama Katonda waffe, Mukama ali omu yekka. 30 (N)Era yagala Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna n’omwoyo gwo gwonna, n’amagezi go gonna, n’amaanyi go gonna.’ 31 (O)N’eryokubiri lye lino nti, ‘Oyagalanga muliraanwa wo nga bwe weeyagala wekka.’ Tewaliiwo mateeka malala gasinga ago bukulu.”

32 (P)Omunnyonnyozi w’amateeka n’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza ekigambo ky’oyogedde kya mazima bw’ogambye nti waliwo Katonda omu yekka era teriiyo mulala. 33 (Q)Era mmanyi nga kikulu nnyo okumwagala n’omutima gwaffe gwonna, n’okutegeera kwaffe n’amaanyi gaffe, n’okwagala muliraanwa wo nga bwe weeyagala wekka, era ng’ekyo kikulu okusinga ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ne ssaddaaka.”

34 (R)Yesu bwe yalaba ng’omusajja azzeemu n’amagezi n’amugamba nti, “Toli wala n’obwakabaka bwa Katonda.” Okuva ku ekyo ne watabaawo muntu n’omu eyayaŋŋanga okwongera okumubuuza ebibuuzo ebirala.

Kristo Mwana wa Ani

35 (S)Bwe waayitawo akabanga, Yesu yali ayigiriza mu Yeekaalu, n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bagamba nti Kristo Mwana wa Dawudi? 36 (T)Kubanga Mwoyo Mutukuvu bwe yali ali ku Dawudi, Dawudi yennyini yagamba ku bwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu nti,

“ ‘Mukama yagamba Mukama wange nti,
    “Tuulira wano ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo,
okutuusa lwe nditeeka abalabe bo
    wansi w’ebigere byo.” ’

37 (U)Dawudi yennyini amuyita Mukama we, ayinza atya ate okuba Omwana we?”

Ekibiina kyalimu abantu bangi, ne bamuwuliriza n’essanyu.

38 Awo Yesu n’ayigiriza ng’agamba nti, “Mwekuume abannyonnyozi b’amateeka, kubanga baagala nnyo okwambala ne batambulatambula mu butale ng’abantu babalamusa. 39 (V)Baagala nnyo okutuula mu bifo ebisinga obulungi mu makuŋŋaaniro, n’okutuula mu bifo eby’ekitiibwa ku mbaga. 40 Kyokka, banyagako bannamwandu ebintu byabwe, ne beeraga nga basaba esaala empanvu ennyo. Ekibonerezo kyabwe kyekiriva kibeera ekinene ddala.”

Ekirabo kya Nnamwandu

41 (W)Awo Yesu bwe yatuula okwolekera eggwanika ly’ensimbi, n’alaba engeri ekibiina ky’abantu gye bateekamu ensimbi mu ggwanika. Abagagga bangi baali bateekamu ensimbi nnyingi.[b] 42 Awo nnamwandu eyali omwavu n’ajja n’ateekamu ebitundu bibiri, ye kodulante.[c]

43 Yesu n’ayita abayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti nnamwandu oyo omwavu awaddeyo nnyo okusinga bonna bali abatadde mu ggwanika. 44 (X)Kubanga bonna bataddemu ku bibafikkiridde, naye ate nnamwandu ono mu kwetaaga kwe ataddemu kyonna ky’abadde nakyo, ekibadde kijja okumuyamba obulamu bwe bwonna.”

The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers(A)

12 Then (B)He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to [a]vinedressers and went into a far country. Now at vintage-time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that he might receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the vinedressers. And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. Again he sent them another servant, [b]and at him they threw stones, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated. And again he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, (C)beating some and killing some. Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But those [c]vinedressers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ So they took him and (D)killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.

“Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others. 10 Have you not even read this Scripture:

(E)‘The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
11 This was the Lord’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12 (F)And they sought to lay hands on Him, but feared the multitude, for they knew He had spoken the parable against them. So they left Him and went away.

The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?(G)

13 (H)Then they sent to Him some of the Pharisees and the Herodians, to catch Him in His words. 14 When they had come, they said to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and [d]care about no one; for You do not [e]regard the person of men, but teach the (I)way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? 15 Shall we pay, or shall we not pay?”

But He, knowing their (J)hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test Me? Bring Me a denarius that I may see it. 16 So they brought it.

And He said to them, “Whose image and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar’s.”

17 And Jesus answered and said to them, [f]“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to (K)God the things that are God’s.”

And they marveled at Him.

The Sadducees: What About the Resurrection?(L)

18 (M)Then some Sadducees, (N)who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying: 19 “Teacher, (O)Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies, and leaves his wife behind, and leaves no children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 20 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife; and dying, he left no offspring. 21 And the second took her, and he died; nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise. 22 So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also. 23 Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife.”

24 Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore [g]mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but (P)are like angels in heaven. 26 But concerning the dead, that they (Q)rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, (R)‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. You are therefore greatly [h]mistaken.”

The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All?(S)

28 (T)Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, [i]perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the [j]first commandment of all?”

29 Jesus answered him, “The [k]first of all the commandments is: (U)‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall (V)love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ [l]This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: (W)‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than (X)these.”

32 So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, (Y)and there is no other but He. 33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, [m]with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, (Z)is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”

(AA)But after that no one dared question Him.

Jesus: How Can David Call His Descendant Lord?(AB)

35 (AC)Then Jesus answered and said, while He taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David? 36 For David himself said (AD)by the Holy Spirit:

(AE)‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’

37 Therefore David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; how is He then his (AF)Son?”

And the common people heard Him gladly.

Beware of the Scribes(AG)

38 Then (AH)He said to them in His teaching, (AI)“Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, (AJ)love greetings in the marketplaces, 39 the (AK)best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, 40 (AL)who devour widows’ houses, and [n]for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

The Widow’s Two Mites(AM)

41 (AN)Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money (AO)into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much. 42 Then one poor widow came and threw in two [o]mites, which make a [p]quadrans. 43 So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that (AP)this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury; 44 for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, (AQ)her whole livelihood.”
