[1] Umusi umwe, yigishiriza abantu mu rusengero, avuga ubutumwa bwiza, abaherezi bakuru, abahinga b'ivyanditswe n'abashingantahe baza aho ari.
[2] Baramubaza bati: “Tubwire ububasha bugutera gukora ivyo. Canke ubwo, ni nde yabuguhaye?”
[3] Arabishura ati: “Nanje hinge ndababaze ijambo, mumbwire:
[4] none ukubatiza kwa Yohana kwaturutse mw'ijuru, canke mu bantu?
[5] Baravugana bati: “Ni twavuga ko ari mw'ijuru; ahava atubaza icatubujije kumwemera?
[6] Ariko ni twavuga ko ari mu bantu, abantu bose baradutera amabuye, kuko bemeye badakekeranya yuko Yohana yavugishwa n'Imana.”
[7] Bamwishura yuko batazi aho kwavuye.
[8] Yesu arababwira ati: “Nuko rero nanje sindababwira ububasha bunkoresha ivyo.”
[9] Atangura gucira abantu uwu mugani ati: “Habaye umuntu yateye umurima w'inzabibu, arusigarana abarimyi, aja mu mahanga, amarayo igihe kirekire.
[10] Igihe c'iyera kigeze, atuma umukozi kuri ba barimyi, ngo bamwamurire ivyamwa vy'umurima w'inzabibu. Abo barimyi baramushishagura, bamurungika imbokoboko.
[11] Yongera gutuma uwundi mukozi; uwo na we baramushishagura, baramutetereza, bamurungika gusa.
[12] Atuma n'uwa gatatu; uwo na we baramukomeretsa, baramuhinda.”
[13] Nyene umurima w'inzabibu aribaza ati: “Ndabigire gute? Ndatuma umwana wanje nkunda, kumbure bazomusonera.”
[14] Ariko abo barimyi bamubonye baja inama bati: “Urya ni we samuragwa; ingo tumwice, kugira ngo umwandu uzobe uwacu.”
[15] Bamuhindira inyuma y'umurima w'imizabibu, baramwica. None nyene umurima w'inzabibu azobagira ate?
[16] Azoza yice rubi abo barimyi, umurima w'inzabibu arusigarane abandi. Bavyumvise baravuga bati: “Biragahera.”
[17] Arabitegereza, arababaza ati: “None rero aya majambo yanditswe ni amaki, ngo ibuye abubatsi bagaye, Ni ryo ryahindutse irigumya imfuruka?”
[18] Uwuzogwa kuri iryo buye wese azovunagurika, ariko uwo rizogwako wese rizomuvungura.
[19] Abahinga b'ivyanditswe bo n'abaherezi bakuru ako kanya barondera ingene bomushorerako ako kanya amaboko, ariko batinya abantu; kuko bamenye yuko ari bo yaciyeko uwo mugani.
[20] Baramugenza, batuma abo kumudaha amajambo bigira intungane, ngo bakure urwitwazo mu vyo avuga, bamushire segaba nyene ububasha, ari we cegera ca Kayisari.
[21] Baramubaza bati: “Mwigisha, turazi yuko uvuga kandi wigisha neza, kandi k'uwudatinya ijunja ry' abantu, ariko ko wigisha inzira y'Imana vy'ukuri;
[22] mbega biremerwa ko dutanga ikori rya Kayisari, canke ntivyemerwa?”
[23] Maze amenya uguhendana kwabo, arababwira
[24] ati: “Ni munyereke ihera; igishushanyo n'ivyanditswe kuri ryo ni ivya nde?” Bati: “Ni ivya Kayisari.”
[25] Arababarira ati: “Nuko rero ivya Kayisari ni mubihe Kayisari, ivyo Imana mubihe Imana.”
[26] Ntibashobora gukura urwitwazo muri ayo majambo imbere y'abantu, batangazwa n'ivyo abishuye, barahora.
[27] Abasadukayo bamwe baza kuri we, ni bo bahakana yuko ata kuzuka kuriho, baramubaza
[28] bati: “Mwigisha, Mose yatwandikiye yuko mwene nyina w'umuntu ni yapfa adasize agahungu, agasiga umugore, mwene nyina akwiye gucura uwo mugore, ngo avyure umuryango wa mwene nyina.”
[29] Nuko rero habaye abavukana indwi; uwa mbere arongora umugore, apfa adasize agahungu;
[30] uwa kabiri aramucura,
[31] n'uwa gatatu nyene, ni uko bose uko ari indwi baramucura, bapfa badasize impfuvyi.
[32] Hanyuma na wa mugore arapfa.
[33] None mw'izuka azoba muka nde muri bo? Ko bari bamufise bose uko ari indwi!
[34] Yesu arabishura ati: “Abo iyi si bararongora, kandi barashingirwa,
[35] ariko abemerewe gushika muri ya yindi no kuzuka mu bapfuye ntibarongora kandi ntibashingirwa;
[36] kandi ntibaba bagishobora gupfa, kuko baringaniye n'abamarayika, kandi ari abana b'Imana, kuko ari abana b'ukuzuka.”
[37] Ariko ivyo abapfuye ko bazuka, na Mose yabimenyekanishije hamwe havuga ivyo Igisaka c'amahwa, aho yita Uhoraho Imana ya Aburahamu, Imana ya Isaka n'Imana ya Yakobo.
[38] Erega Imana si iyo abapfuye, ariko ni iyo abariho; kuko kuri yo bose bariho.
[39] Bamwe mu banyabwenge b'ivyanditswe baramwishura bati: “Mwigisha, uvuze neza.”
[40] Ntibaba bacubahuka kumubaza irindi jambo.
[41] Arababaza ati: “Bavuga bate yuko Kristo ari umwana wa Dawidi?
[42] Ko Dawidi ubwiwe avuga mu gitabo ca Zaburi ati: 'Uhoraho yabariye Umwami wanje Ati: 'Icara i buryo bwanje,'
[43] Ushitse aho nzohindurira abansi bawe indava yo musi y'ibirenge vyawe.'
[44] Dawidi ko yamwise Umwami, none ashobora ate kuba umwana wiwe?”
[45] Maze abarira abigishwa biwe, abantu bose bumva
[46] ati: “Mwirinde abahinga b'ivyanditswe, bakunda kugenda bambaye imvune, bagakunda kugirwako bwakeye mu tuguriro, no kwicara ku ntebe z'icubahiro mu nsengero z'Abayuda, n'ivyicaro vyo haruguru aho batumiwe.”
[47] Barya ingo z'abapfakazi, kandi basengesha menshi bahumba; abo bazocirwa urubanza ruruta izindi.
