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 began to speak unto them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a pit for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, 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 at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard.
3 Ŵakulima ŵala ŵankamwile kapolo jo, ŵamputile ni kumminga makono pe.
And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
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 unto them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shamefully.
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 him they killed: and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6 Che Yesu ŵajendelechele kuŵecheta, “Mundu jula ŵasigalilwe ni mundu jumo, mwanagwe jwakunonyelwa. Mbesi jakwe ŵantumile jwelejo achitiji, ‘Champikanile pakuŵa ali mwanangu.’
He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7 “Nambo ŵakulima ŵala paŵammweni ŵaŵechetesyene achitiji, ‘Aju ni juchapochele iŵagosele, twende tummulaje kuti indu iŵagosele tujigale uwe!’
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
8 Nipele ŵankamwile ni kummulaga ni kumponyela paasa pa ngunda wa misabibu wo.”
And they took him, and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.
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 therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
10 Ana nganinsyome Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu? ‘Liganga liŵalikanile ŵakutaŵa sambano, lilyolyo litendekwe liganga lyekulungwa lya nsingi.
Have ye not read even this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner:
11 Ambuje ni ŵachitesile chindu chi, nombecho chikutusimosya!’”
This was from the Lord, And it is marvelous 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 sought to lay hold on him; and they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spake the parable against them: and they left him, and went away.
13 Kanyuma, Mafalisayo ŵampepe ni ŵandu ŵa mpingo u che Helode, ŵatumikwe kuti akaatanjisye Che Yesu kwa maloŵe gao.
And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in talk.
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 were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one: for thou regardest not the person of men, but of a truth teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
15 Nambo Che Yesu ŵaumayilile ulamba wao, ŵausisye, “Kwachichi nkuuninga? Muunyichisye mbiya najilole.”
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, 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 brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto 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 unto them, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s. And they marveled greatly at him.
18 Nipele Masadukayo ŵakuti ngapagwa kusyuka ŵanjaulile Che Yesu ni kummusya,
And there come unto him Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection; and they asked 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, Moses wrote unto us, If a man’s brother die, and leave a wife behind him, and leave no child, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20 Tujileje, ŵapali achachanda nsano ni ŵaŵili, jwa kwitiwo ŵalombele nambo ŵawile pangaleka mwanache.
There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed;
21 Ni jwaaŵili ŵajinjile majuumba, nombejo ŵawile pangaleka mwanache. Yakopochele iyoyo ni kwa mpwakwe jwaatatu.
and the second took her, and died, leaving no seed behind him; and the third likewise:
22 Wose nsano ni ŵaŵili wo, ŵawile pangaleka ŵanache. Mbesi jakwe jwankongwe jo ŵawile nombejo.
and the seven left no seed. Last of all the woman also died.
23 Nipele, pa lyuŵa lya kusyuka kwa ŵandu, jwankongwe jo chachiŵa jwa ŵaani? Pakuŵa achalongo wose nsano ni ŵaŵili ŵala ŵannombele jwelejo.”
In the resurrection whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
24 Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe nsochele, ligongo ngankugamanyilila Malembelo ga Akunnungu namose machili ga Akunnungu.
Jesus said unto them, Is it not for this cause that ye err, that ye know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 Ŵandu ŵawile pachachisyuka, ngasalombela atamuno kulombwa, chachiŵa mpela achikatumetume ŵa kwinani.
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as 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 touching the dead, that they are raised; have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the place concerning] the Bush, how God spake unto him, saying, 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: ye do greatly err.
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 heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment 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 answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one:
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 thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy 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, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment 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 unto him, Of a truth, Master, thou hast well said that he is one; and there is none 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 love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
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 answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
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 answered and said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes 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 unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy 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 calleth him Lord; and whence is he his son? And the common people heard 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, Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and [to have] salutations in the marketplaces,
39 Sooni akunonyelwa kutama mu itengu ya mmbujo, mmajumba ga kupopelela Ŵayahudi ni kutama mmauto ga kuchimbichikwa, pa chindimba cha chakulya.
and chief seats in the synagogues, and chief 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.”
they which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers; these shall receive greater condemnation.
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 sat down over against the treasury, and beheld how the multitude cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 Nipele ŵaiche jwankongwe jwakulaga jwawililwe ni ŵankwawo, jwelejo ŵatasile mbiya syasinandi siŵili.
And there came a poor widow, and she cast in two mites, 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 called unto him his disciples, and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow cast in more than all they which are casting into the treasury:
44 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵane wose atasile sadaka syao kutyochela mu yakupunda ya mu ipanje yao. Nambo jwankongwe ju nkulaga kwakwe, atasile yose yakwete.”
for they all did cast in of their superfluity; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.
