Matthew 22
1 Jesus answered and spoke to them again in parables, saying,
Yesu katakuliti nawomberi kayi kwa mfanu.
2 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a wedding feast for his son,
“Ufalumi wa kumpindi ulifana ntambu ayi. Kuweriti na mfalumi yakamtandiriti mwana gwakuwi mpalu msambu gwa ndowa.
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.
Su, kawatumiti wantumintumi wakuwi wakawashemi walii yawashemiritwi wizi kumsambu, kumbiti walii yawashemiritwi walemiti kwiza.
4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding feast!”’
Kawatuma kayi wantumintumi wamonga, pakatakula, ‘Muwagambiri yawawashemiriti kuwera msambu gwangu vinu gwa kala, wang'ombi wangu na wandama waherepa wawalikitula kala. Shila shintu shiwera kala, su mwizi mumsambu gwa ndowa!’
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise;
Kumbiti wahenga yawashemiritwi walishera ndiri, su wendereyiti na vitwatira vyawu, yumu kagenditi kulirambu kwakuwi na yumonga kagenditi kutenda biyashala yakuwi,
6 and the rest grabbed his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them.
na wamonga wawakamula wantumintumi walii, wawakomanga na kuwalaga.
7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
Mfalumi ulii kakalariti nentu, su kawatuma wanjagila wakuwi wakawalagi woseri yawatenditi hangu na kapambira motu lushi zyawu.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
Shakapanu kawagambira wantumintumi wakuwi, ‘Msambu gwa ndowa gwa kala, kumbiti yawashemiritwi walema kwiza.
9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the wedding feast.’
Vinu mgendi munjira pamwawona wantu woseri mwashemi wizi mumsambu gwa ndowa.’
10 Those servants went out into the highways and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.
Su wantumintumi walii wawuka na wagenda munjira, wawashemera wantu woseri yawawoniti, wadoda na waheri, numba yoseri ya msambu ivuwiti wahenga.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on wedding clothing,
“Mfalumi pakayingiriti kuwalola wahenga, kamwona muntu kavala ndiri nguwu ya ndowa.
12 and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?’ He was speechless.
Mfalumi kamkosiya, ‘Ganja, gwingira hashi panu pota kuvala nguwu ya ndowa?’ Kumbiti yomberi kawankula ndiri.
13 Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness. That is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.’
Palaa palii mfalumi kawagambira wantumintumi, ‘Mumtawi magulu na mawoku, mwakamwasi kunja muntiti. Aku hakalili na kugayagaya menu gakuwi.’”
14 For many are called, but few chosen.”
Na Yesu kamalira kwa kutakula, “Yawashemiritwi wavuwa, kumbiti yawasyagulitwi ndo wadidini.”
15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
Shakapanu Mafalisayu wagenda zawu na wapangiti ntambu ya kumgomiziya Yesu kwa visoweru vyakuwi.
16 They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach; for you are not partial to anyone.
Su, womberi wawatuma wafundwa wawu pamuhera na wantumini wa shipinga sha Herodi kugenda kwa Yesu. Womberi walonga, “mfunda, tuvimana handa gwenga gutakula nakaka. Gwenga gufunda nakaka kuusu mafiliru ga Mlungu kwa wantu, gutira ndiri shawalihola wamonga, toziya gulishera ndiri ukulu wa muntu.
17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?”
Su, gutugambiri, gwenga gulihola shishi? Lagaliru ama lagaliru ndiri kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari?”
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
Kumbiti Yesu kavimana ukondola wawu yawalihola, su kawagambira, “Mwawafyangu mwenga! Iwera hashi mwankujera kungomiziya?
19 Show me the tax money.” They brought to him a denarius.
Munanguziyi mpiya zya kulipira kodi!” Womberi wamlavilira ligwala lya mpiya,
20 He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?”
na Yesu kawakosiya, “Sheni na malembu aga mumpiya ga gaa?”
21 They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Womberi wamwankula, “Ga mfalumi gwa Rumi.” Su Yesu kawagambira, “Mumpanani Kaisari vyaviwera vya Kaisari na mumpanani Mlungu vyaviwera vya Mlungu.”
22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him and went away.
Pawapikaniriti hangu, walikangasha na wamleka wagenditi zawu.
23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,
Lishaka liraa lilii, Masadukayu wamu ndo yawatakulaga wantu yawahowiti hapeni wazyuki, wamgenderiti Yesu.
24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
Su wamgambira, “mfunda, Musa katakuriti kuwera muntu yakayugiti pakahowa pota kuleka mwana, ndo mlongu gwakuwi kamyugi mdala mkenja uliya, su kamleleri wana mlongu gwakuwi yakahowiti.
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother.
Vinu petu panu, paweriti na walongu saba. Mlongu mkulu kayugiti mdala na kahowiti pota kupata mwana, su mlongu gwakuwi kamuhala mkenja ulii.
26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
Iwera ntambu ira kwa mlongu gwa pili na gwa tatu mpaka kwa woseri saba.
27 After them all, the woman died.
Lupeleru na mdala uliya kahowiti viraa.
28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her.”
Vinu, mulishaka lya kuzyuka kwa yawahowiti, hashi, mdala ayu hakaweri mdala gwa gaa? Toziya mkenja ayu kaweriti mdala wa walongu woseri saba.”
29 But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Yesu kawankula, “Mwenga mwagamila nakaka! Mwagamila toziya mgamana ndiri Malembu Mananagala ama makakala ga Mlungu.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like God’s angels in heaven.
Toziya yawahowiti pawazyuka, hawalifani gambira wantumintumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu na wantu hapeni wayugi ama kuyugwa.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have not you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
Kumbiti kuusu kuzyuka kwa yawahowiti, hashi, hamwenibetuli galaa Mlungu gakawagambiriti? Mlungu kawagambiriti,
32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
‘Neni ndo Mlungu gwa Aburahamu, ndo Mlungu gwa Isaka, ndo Mlungu gwa Yakobu!’ Yomberi Mlungu gwa wahowiti ndiri, ira Mlungu gwa wakomu.”
33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
Lipinga lya wantu palipikaniriti hangu walikangasha mafundu gakuwi.
34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
Mafalisayu pawapikaniriti handa Yesu kawawankula Masadukayu mpaka wasinditi kumkosiya kayi, su womberi waliwoniti pamuhera.
35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.
Yumu gwawu, mfunda gwa Malagaliru, kamkosiya Yesu kwa kufira kumgomiziya,
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
“mfunda, lilagaliru lyoshi ndo likulu Mumalagaliru?”
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
Yesu kamwankula, “Gumfiri Mtuwa Mlungu gwaku kwa moyu gwaku gwoseri, kwa rohu yaku yoseri na kwa mahala gaku goseri.”
38 This is the first and great commandment.
Ali ndo lilagaliru likulu lya kwanja.
39 A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
Na lya pili lilifana na ali, “Gumfiri gwapakwegera gwaku ntambu yagulifira gumweni.”
40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
Malagaliru goseri ga Musa na malembu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu gankulitumbira malagaliru mawili aga.
41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
Mafalisayu pawaweriti pamuhera, Yesu kawakosiiti,
42 saying, “What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David.”
“Mwenga mulihola hashi kuusu Kristu Mlopoziya? Hashi, yomberi ndo gwa shiyiwuku shagaa?” Wamwankula, “Shiyiwuku sha Dawudi.”
43 He said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,
Yesu kawagambira, “Su, iwezekana hashi kwa likakala lya Rohu Mnanagala Dawudi kamshemi yomberi ‘Mtuwa’? Dawudi katakuliti,
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
‘Mtuwa kamgambiriti Mtuwa gwangu, Gulivagi uwega waneni wa kumliwu, Mpaka nuwatuli wangondu waku pasi pa magulu gaku.’
45 “If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?”
Payiwera Dawudi kamshemiti yomberi ‘Mtuwa,’ su iwezakana hashi kuwera Kristu ndo gwa shiyiwuku sha Dawudi?”
46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forward.
Kwahera muntu yoseri yakaweziti kumwankula Yesu na kwanjira lishaka lilii kwahera yakajeriti kayi kukosiya shoseri.
