Maliko 12
1 Che Yesu ŵatandite kuŵecheta nawo kwa itagu achitiji, “Mundu jumo ŵalimile ngunda wa misabibu. Ŵausunguchisye lutenje ni ŵasolite pakuminyila sabibu, ni ŵataŵile chilindo cha penani. Nipele ŵaajasimisye ŵandu ngunda wo, nombejo ŵajawile kuchilambo chine.
And he gave them teaching in the form of stories. A man had a vine-garden planted, and put a wall about it, and made a place for crushing out the wine, and put up a tower, and let it out to field-workers, and went into another country.
2 Katema ka magungulo, ŵantumile kapolo jwao ku ngunda wa misabibu kwa ŵakulima ŵala kukujigala chigaŵanyo cha magowolo gao.
And when the time came, he sent a servant to get from the workmen some of the fruit of the garden.
3 Ŵakulima ŵala ŵankamwile kapolo jo, ŵamputile ni kumminga makono pe.
And they took him, and gave him blows, and sent him away with nothing.
4 Nipele nsyene ngunda jula, ŵantumile sooni kapolo jwine. Ŵakulima ŵala ŵammulesye mu ntwe kapolo jo ni kumpanganyichisya indu ya soni.
And again he sent to them another servant; and they gave him wounds on the head, and were very cruel to him.
5 Iyoyo peyo, nsyene ngunda jo ŵantumile sooni kapolo jwine, jwelejo ŵagambile kumbulaga. Ni ŵane ŵajinji uŵatumikwe, ŵane ŵaputikwe ni ŵane ŵaulajikwe.”
And he sent another; and they put him to death: and a number of others, whipping some, and putting some to death.
6 Che Yesu ŵajendelechele kuŵecheta, “Mundu jula ŵasigalilwe ni mundu jumo, mwanagwe jwakunonyelwa. Mbesi jakwe ŵantumile jwelejo achitiji, ‘Champikanile pakuŵa ali mwanangu.’
He still had one, a dearly loved son: he sent him last to them, saying, They will have respect for my son.
7 “Nambo ŵakulima ŵala paŵammweni ŵaŵechetesyene achitiji, ‘Aju ni juchapochele iŵagosele, twende tummulaje kuti indu iŵagosele tujigale uwe!’
But those workmen said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death, and the heritage will be ours.
8 Nipele ŵankamwile ni kummulaga ni kumponyela paasa pa ngunda wa misabibu wo.”
And they took him and put him to death, pushing his body out of the garden.
9 Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Nipele, ana nsyene ngunda wo chaachitenda chichi? Chaiche ni kwaulaga ŵakulima wo ni kwapa ŵakulima ŵane ngunda wa misabibu wo.
What then will the master of the garden do? He will come and put the workmen to death, and will give the garden into the hands of others.
10 Ana nganinsyome Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu? ‘Liganga liŵalikanile ŵakutaŵa sambano, lilyolyo litendekwe liganga lyekulungwa lya nsingi.
Have you not seen this which is in the Writings: The stone which the builders put on one side, the same was made the chief stone of the building:
11 Ambuje ni ŵachitesile chindu chi, nombecho chikutusimosya!’”
This was the Lord's doing, and it is a wonder in our eyes?
12 Achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni achachekulu, ŵaimanyi kuti chitagu cho chaliji nkwagamba ŵanyawo. Ŵasachile ŵakamule Che Yesu, nambo ŵajogwepe ŵandu, ŵannesile, ni ŵanyawo ŵatyosile.
And they made attempts to take him; but they were in fear of the people, because they saw that the story was against them; and they went away from him.
13 Kanyuma, Mafalisayo ŵampepe ni ŵandu ŵa mpingo u che Helode, ŵatumikwe kuti akaatanjisye Che Yesu kwa maloŵe gao.
Then they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and the Herodians, so that they might make use of his words to take him by a trick.
14 Ŵaajaulile ni kwasalila, “Jwakwiganya, tukumanyilila kuti alakwe ni mundu junkuŵecheta yaili isyene, pakuŵa ngankogopa ukulu wa mundu namose nganinkola lusagu, nambo nkwiganya usyene wa litala lya Akunnungu. Ntusalile, ana ili yambone pane ngaŵa yambone kwausya nsongo kwa Mwenye jwa ku Loma? Tujaule tukalipe pane tunajaule?”
And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not?
15 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaumayilile ulamba wao, ŵausisye, “Kwachichi nkuuninga? Muunyichisye mbiya najilole.”
Are we to give or not to give? But he, conscious of their false hearts, said to them, Why do you put me to the test? give me a penny, so that I may see it.
16 Ŵampelechele mbiya jo. Nombejo ŵausisye, “Ana ku meeso ku ni liina li, ya acheni?” Ni ŵanyawo ŵanjanjile, “Ya Mwenye jwa ku Loma.”
And they gave him one. And he said to them, Whose is this image and name on it? And they said to him, Caesar's.
17 Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Yaili ya Mwenye jwa ku Loma mwapeje Mwenye jwa ku Loma ni yaili ya Akunnungu mwapeje Akunnungu.” Ŵandu ŵala ŵansimosile nnope Che Yesu.
And Jesus said to them, Give to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and to God the things which are God's. And they were full of wonder at him.
18 Nipele Masadukayo ŵakuti ngapagwa kusyuka ŵanjaulile Che Yesu ni kummusya,
And there came to him Sadducees, who say there is no coming back from the dead; and they put a question to him, saying,
19 “Jwakwiganya, che Musa ŵatulembele kuti, ‘Mundu awililwagwa ni mpwakwe ni mundu jwawile jo annekaga ŵankwakwe pangali ŵanache, mpwakwe mundu jo akusachilwa annombele jwakuwililwa jo kuti ammelechele mpwakwe ŵanache.’
Master, in the law Moses says, If a man's brother comes to his end, and has a wife still living and no child, it is right for his brother to take his wife, and get a family for his brother.
20 Tujileje, ŵapali achachanda nsano ni ŵaŵili, jwa kwitiwo ŵalombele nambo ŵawile pangaleka mwanache.
There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and at his death there were no offspring;
21 Ni jwaaŵili ŵajinjile majuumba, nombejo ŵawile pangaleka mwanache. Yakopochele iyoyo ni kwa mpwakwe jwaatatu.
And the second took her, and at his death there were no offspring; and the third the same:
22 Wose nsano ni ŵaŵili wo, ŵawile pangaleka ŵanache. Mbesi jakwe jwankongwe jo ŵawile nombejo.
And all the seven had no seed. Last of all the woman herself came to her death.
23 Nipele, pa lyuŵa lya kusyuka kwa ŵandu, jwankongwe jo chachiŵa jwa ŵaani? Pakuŵa achalongo wose nsano ni ŵaŵili ŵala ŵannombele jwelejo.”
In the future life, when they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for the seven had her for a wife.
24 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe nsochele, ligongo ngankugamanyilila Malembelo ga Akunnungu namose machili ga Akunnungu.
Jesus said to them, Is not this the reason for your error, that you have no knowledge of the holy Writings or of the power of God?
25 Ŵandu ŵawile pachachisyuka, ngasalombela atamuno kulombwa, chachiŵa mpela achikatumetume ŵa kwinani.
When they come back from the dead, they do not get married, but are like the angels in heaven.
26 Nambo ngani jankati kusyuka kwa ŵandu ŵawile, ana nganinsyome mmalembo ga che Musa, ngani ja chisukutu chichakolelaga mooto? Akunnungu ŵansalile che Musa, ‘Une ndili Akunnungu ŵa che Iblahimu ni Akunnungu ŵa che Isaka ni Akunnungu ŵa che Yakobo.’
But as to the dead coming back to life; have you not seen in the book of Moses, about the burning thorn-tree, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 Nipele, ŵelewo nganaŵa Akunnungu ŵa ŵandu ŵawile, nambo ali Akunnungu ŵa ŵandu ŵajumi. Ŵanyamwe nsochele nnope.”
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living: you are greatly in error.
28 Jumo jwa ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵaiche pelepo ni ŵagapilikene makani gao. Paŵaiweni kuti Che Yesu ŵaajanjile uchenene Masadukayo ŵala, ŵansejelele Che Yesu ni kumbusya, “Ana Lilajisyo chi lyalili lyekulu kupunda gose?”
And one of the scribes came, and hearing their argument together, and seeing that he had given them a good answer, put the question to him, Which law is the first of all?
29 Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Lilajisyo lyalili lyekulu ni ali: ‘Mpilikane, ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli! Ambuje Akunnungu ŵetu, jika pe ali Ambuje.
Jesus said in answer, The first is, Give ear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord;
30 Mwanonyele Ambuje Akunnungu ŵenu kwa ntima wenu wose ni kwa umi wenu wose ni kwa lunda lwenu wose ni kwa machili genu gose.’
And you are to have love for the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.
31 Lilajisyo lyaaŵili lyalili lyekulu lili ali: ‘Munnonyele njenu mpela inkuti pakulinonyela mwasyene.’ Ngapagwa Lilajisyo liine lyalili lyekulu kupunda Malajisyo gaŵili ga.”
The second is this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself. There is no other law greater than these.
32 Nipele, jwakwiganya Malajisyo jula ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Jwakwiganya, njanjile yambone! Isyene Akunnungu ali ŵamo pe, ni ngapagwa jwine nambo ŵelewo jika pe.
And the scribe said to him, Truly, Master, you have well said that he is one, and there is no other but he:
33 Ni mundu akusachilwa annonyele Akunnungu ni ntima wose ni lunda lwao lose ni machili gao gose ni kunnonyela njakwe mpela yakuti pakulinonyela nsyene. Kutenda yeleyo ili yambone kupunda kwatyochesya Akunnungu mbopesi sya kocha ni sadaka sine syasikutyosyekwa kwa Akunnungu.”
And to have love for him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to have the same love for his neighbour as for himself, is much more than all forms of offerings.
34 Che Yesu paŵaiweni kuti mundu jo ajanjile kwa lunda ŵansalile, “Mmwejo nganimme kwakutalichila kwalechelela Akunnungu antawale.” Kutandilila katema ko ngapagwa mundu juŵalinjile sooni kumbusya Che Yesu chachili chose.
And when Jesus saw that he gave a wise answer, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And every man after that was in fear of questioning him any more.
35 Che Yesu paŵaliji nkwajiganya ŵandu pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵausisye ŵandu, “Kwachichi ŵakwiganya Malajisyo akusala kuti Kilisito, ali jumo pe mu uŵelesi u che Daudi?
And Jesus, when he was teaching in the Temple, said, How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
36 Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵanlongwesye che Daudi, nombejo ŵatite, ‘Ambuje ŵansalile Ambuje ŵangu, Ntame kundyo kwangu, mpaka pachinaatamiche ŵammagongo ŵenu paasi pa sajo syenu.’
David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put those who are against you under your feet.
37 “Che Daudi nsyene akummilanga Kilisito, ‘Ambuje,’ iŵele uli sooni Kilisito aŵe jumo pe mu uŵelesi u che Daudi?” Mpingo wa ŵandu ŵampilikanile kwa lukondwa.
David himself gives him the name of Lord; and how then is he his son? And the common people gave ear to him gladly.
38 Che Yesu paŵajiganyaga ŵatite, “Nlilolechesye ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵakusaka kwendajenda ali awete minjilo jajileu, ŵakunonyelwa akomasikwe kwa kuchimbichikwa peuto pakusumichisya malonda.
And in his teaching he said, Be on your watch against the scribes, whose pleasure it is to go about in long robes and be respected in the market-places,
39 Sooni akunonyelwa kutama mu itengu ya mmbujo, mmajumba ga kupopelela Ŵayahudi ni kutama mmauto ga kuchimbichikwa, pa chindimba cha chakulya.
And to have the chief seats in the Synagogues and the first places at feasts;
40 Kwa kwalambusya, akwasumula ipanje achakongwe ŵawililwe ni achiŵankwawo, ni kwa kulilosya kuti ali ŵandu ŵambone, akupopela mapopelo gamaleu. Kwalyele ligongo lyo, chalamulikwe kwa chikali nnope kupunda ŵandu ŵane.”
Who take away the property of widows, and before the eyes of men make long prayers; these will be judged more hardly.
41 Che Yesu ŵatemi chiŵandi ni lisanduku lya kugosela sadaka pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵaliji nkulolechesya ŵandu paŵalinji nkutaga mbiya. Ŵaipanje ŵajinji ŵatasile mbiya syasijinji.
And he took a seat by the place where the money was kept, and saw how the people put money into the boxes: and a number who had wealth put in much.
42 Nipele ŵaiche jwankongwe jwakulaga jwawililwe ni ŵankwawo, jwelejo ŵatasile mbiya syasinandi siŵili.
And there came a poor widow, and she put in two little bits of money, which make a farthing.
43 Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, ŵaasalile, “Isyene ngunsalila, jwankongwe jwakulaga jwawililwe ni ŵankwakwe ju, atasile yejinji mu lisanduku lya kugosela sadaka, kwapunda ŵandu ŵane wose.
And he made his disciples come to him, and said to them, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has put in more than all those who are putting money into the box:
44 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵane wose atasile sadaka syao kutyochela mu yakupunda ya mu ipanje yao. Nambo jwankongwe ju nkulaga kwakwe, atasile yose yakwete.”
Because they all put in something out of what they had no need for; but she out of her need put in all she had, even all her living.
