Matthew 22
1 Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables:
Yesu ajobhili nabhu kabhele mu mifuanu, akajobha,
2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.
“Bhufalme bhwa kumbinguni bhwighwaningana ni mfalme jha ajhandele sherehe jha harusi jha mwanabhe.
3 He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.
Akabhatuma bhatumishi bha muene kubhakaribisya bhabhaalikibhu kuhida kusherehe jha harusi, lakini bhafiki lepi.
4 Again, he sent other servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
Mfalme abhatumili kabhele bhatumishi bhangi, akajobha. “Mubhajobhilayi bhoha bhabhaalikibhu, Mulangayi, niandele kyakulya. Fahali ni litoli lyanene lya linenipi bhachinjili ni mambo ghoha ghayele tayari, Muhidayi ku sherehe jha harusi.”
5 But they paid no attention and went away, one to his field, another to his business.
Lakini bhanu abhu bhazingatili lepi kwa dhati mualiko bhwa muene. Baadhi jha bhene bhakherebhuiki mu mig'onda ghya bhene, ni bhangi bhakherebhuiki mu sehemu sya biashara sya bhene.
6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
Bhangi bhabhajhinukili bhatumishi bha mfalme ni kubhaaibisya ni kubhakhoma.
7 The king was enraged, and he sent his troops to destroy those murderers and burn their city.
Lakini mfalme adadili. Atumili jeshi lya muene, akabhakoma bhala bhakomaji ni kubhukosya mji ghwa bhene ni muoto.
8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited were not worthy.
Kisha akabhajobhela bhatumishi bha muene, “Harusi iyele tayari, lakini bhabhaalikibhu bhalondekeghe lepi.
9 Go therefore to the crossroads and invite to the banquet as many as you can find.’
Henu mulotayi ku makutano gha njhela mbaha, mubhaalikayi bhanu bhingi kadiri kya jhilondeka bhahidai ku sherehe jha harusi.”
10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered everyone they could find, both evil and good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
Bhatumishi bhakalota njhela mbaha ni kubhakaribisya bhanu bhoha bhabhabhuene, bhema ni au bhanofu ni bhabhibhi. Henu bhukumbi bhwa harusi bhwa memili bhahesya.
11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he spotted a man who was not dressed in wedding clothes.
Lakini mfalme bho ajhingili kubhalanga bhahesya ambwene munu mmonga ambajhe afwali lepi ligwanda rasmi lya harusi!
12 ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But the man was speechless.
Mfalme akan'kota, 'Ndongo bhangu, ghwabhwesi bhuli kufika apa mugati bila ligwanda lya harusi?' Na munu ojhu an'jibili lepi khenu kyokyoha khela.
13 Then the king told the servants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Ndipo mfalme akabhajobhela bhatumishi bha muene, “Mun'kongoyi munu ojho mabhoko ni magolo mun'taghai kwibhala mu kitila, ekhu ambako kubeta kujha ni kilelu ni kusiagha minu.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Kwa kujha bhanu bhingi bhikutibhwa, lakini bhateule bhadebe.”
15 Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words.
Ndipo Mafarisayo bhakabhoka ni kupanga jinsi jha kun'kamula Yesu mu malobhi gha muene.
16 They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. “Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance.
Ndipo bhakabhatuma bhanafunzi bha bhene ni Maherode. Na bhakan'jobhela Yesu, “Mwalimu, tumanyili kujobha bhebhe ndo munu ghwa bhukweli, na ghwimanyisya matakwa gha Mungu mu bhukweli. Ghwijali lepi maoni gha munu jhongi na ghwilasya lepi bhupendelelu kwa bhanu.
17 So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”
Henu tujobhilayi ghwifikilila kiki? Je, bhukweli kulepa kodi kwa Kaisari au lepi?”
18 But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, “You hypocrites, why are you testing Me?
Yesu akamanya bhuovu bhwa bhene na akajobha, “Kwandabha jhakiki mkanijaribu, muenga bhanafiki?
19 Show Me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought Him a denarius.
Mimilasiayi hela jhejhitumika kulep'hela kodi.” Ndipo bhakandetela dinari.
20 “Whose image is this,” He asked, “and whose inscription?”
Yesu akabhakhota, “Sura ni lihina ele lya niani?”
21 “Caesar’s,” they answered. So Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
Bhakan'jibu, “fya Kaisari.” Ndipo Yesu akabhajobhela, “Mumpelayi Kaisari fenu fyafijhele fya muene ni fya K'yara mumpelayi K'yara.”
22 And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
Bho bhap'heliki naha bhakashangala. Kisha bhakandeka ni kwilotela.
23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him.
Ligono elu baadhi jha Masadukayo bhakahida kwa Yesu, bhala bhabhijobha kujha bhujhelepi bhufufuo bhwa bhafu. Bhakan'kota,
24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him.
bhakajhabhijobha, “Mwalimu, Musa ajobhili, Ikajhiyi munu afuili bila kuhogola bhana, ndongo munu na andisiayi n'dala ojhu na ampelayi muana kwa ndabha jha ndongo munu.
25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother.
Bhajhele bhalongo saba. ghwa kuanda agegili na kisha afuili bila kuhogola bhana. Akandekela n'dala ndongomunu.
26 The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh.
Kisha ndongomunu ghwa pili nu muene aketili mebhu, kisha yola ghwa tatu, ikajha mebhu hadi jhola ghwa saba.
27 And last of all, the woman died.
Baada jha kubhomba aghu bhoha, yola n'dala nu muene akafwa.
28 In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
Henu katika bhufufuo n'dala ojhu ibetakujha n'dala ghwa niani kati jha bhanu abhu saba? Kwa ndabha bhoha bhan'gegili.”
29 Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
Lakini Yesu abhajibili ni kubhajobhela, “Mwikosela, kwa ndabha mumanyilepi mayandiku ni nghofu sya K'yara.
30 In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
Kwa kujha mu bhufufuo, bhanu bhigega lepi bhwala kugegikibhwa. Badala jhiaki bhanu bhijha kama malaika okhu kumbinguni.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what God said to you:
Lakini kuhusu bhufufuo bhwa bhafu, mubhwayi lepi kusoma khela ambakyo K'yara akijobhili kwa muenga, ajobhili,
32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
Nene ndo K'yara ghwa Ibrahimu, K'yara ghwa Isaka, na K'yara ghwa Yakobo? K'yara si K'yara ghwa bhafu, bali ni K'yara ghwa bhajhe bhasima.'”
33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
Bhwakati likusanyiku bho bhapeliki ele, bhaghasyangele mafundiso agha muene.
34 And when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they themselves gathered together.
Lakini Mafarisayo bho bhapheliki kujha Yesu abhagudamisi Masadukayo, bhakibhongeniye bhoha kwa pamonga.
35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with a question:
Mmonga ghwa bhene, ajhele mwana sheria, an'kotili liswali kwa kun'jaribu.
36 “Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
“Mwalimu, amri jheleku ijhele mbaha kuliko syoha mu sheria?”
37 Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
Yesu akan'jibu, “Lazima un'ganayi Bwana kwa n'tema ghuoha ghwa bhebhe, kwa roho jhiakhu jhioha ni kwa luhala lwakhu luoha.
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
Ejhe ndo amri mbaha na jha kuanza.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
Na jha bhubhele jhiwaningana ni ejhu- Ni lazima kun'gana jirani ghwa jhobhi kama kyawikigana ghwa muene.
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Sheria syoha ni manabii bhitegemela amri ese sibhele.”
41 While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them:
Ni Mafarisayo bhajhele bhakona bhakusanyiki pamonga, Yesu akabhakota liswali.
42 “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He?” “David’s,” they answered.
Akajobha, “Je, Mwifikirila kiki kwa ndabha jha Kristu? Muene muana ghwa niani?” Nibhene bhakan'jibu, “Ni muana ghwa Daudi.”
43 Jesus said to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord’? For he says:
Yesu akabhajibu, “Ni kwa namna gani Daudi mu Roho akan'kuta Bwana, akajobha,
44 ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’
'Bwana an'jobhili Bwana bhangu, “Tamayi kibhokho kya nene kyakulia, hadi panibetakubhabhomba maadui bhakhu bhabhekibhuayi pasi pa magolo gha jhobhi.”'?”
45 So if David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how can He be David’s son?”
Kama Daudi akan'kuta Kristu “Bwana,” jinsi jhelekhu ibetakujha mwanamunu?”
46 No one was able to answer a word, and from that day on no one dared to question Him any further.
Ajhelepi jhaabhwesili kunjibu lilobhi kabhele, na ajhele lepi jhaathubutuwili kabhele kun'kota maswali zaidi tangia ligono elu ni kujhandelela.
