Mark 12
1 And he began to say to them in parables, A man planted a vineyard, and made a fence round [it] and dug a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.
Kenaka Iye anayamba kuyankhula nawo mʼmafanizo: “Munthu wina analima munda wamphesa. Anamanga mpanda mozungulira, nakumba dzenje lofinyiramo mphesa ndipo anamanga nsanja. Anawubwereketsa munda wamphesawo kwa alimi ena napita ku dziko lina.
2 And he sent a bondman to the husbandmen at the season, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
Pa nthawi yokolola anatumiza wantchito kwa alimiwo kuti akatenge kuchokera kwa iwo zina mwa zipatso za munda wamphesa.
3 But they took him, and beat [him], and sent [him] away empty.
Koma iwo anamugwira, namumenya ndi kumupirikitsa wopanda kanthu.
4 And again he sent to them another bondman; and [at] him they [threw stones, and] struck [him] on the head, and sent [him] away with insult.
Kenaka anatumizanso wantchito wina kwa iwo. Iwo anamumenya munthuyo pamutu ndipo anamuzunza mochititsa manyazi.
5 And [again] he sent another, and him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing some.
Anatumizanso wina, ndipo iwo anamupha. Anatumizanso ena ambiri; ena a iwo anawamenya, ena anawapha.
6 Having yet therefore one beloved son, he sent also him to them the last, saying, They will have respect for my son.
“Munthu uja anatsala ndi mwana mmodzi, wamwamuna amene amamukonda. Pomaliza anamutumiza mwanayo nati, ‘Adzamuchitira ulemu mwana wanga.’
7 But those husbandmen said to one another, This is the heir: come, let us kill him and the inheritance will be ours.
“Koma alimi aja anati kwa wina ndi mnzake, ‘Uyu ndi mlowamʼmalo. Tiyeni timuphe, ndipo cholowacho chidzakhala chathu.’
8 And they took him and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.
Ndipo anamutenga ndi kumupha, ndipo anamuponya kunja kwa munda wamphesa.
9 What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
“Kodi nanga mwini munda wamphesa adzachita chiyani? Iye adzabwera ndi kupha alimiwo nadzapereka munda wamphesawo kwa ena.
10 Have ye not even read this scripture, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone:
Kodi simunawerenge lemba lakuti: “‘Mwala umene amisiri omanga nyumba anawukana wakhala mwala wa pa ngodya.
11 this is of [the] Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
Ambuye achita zimenezi, ndipo ndi zodabwitsa mʼmaso mwathu?’”
12 And they sought to lay hold of him, and they feared the crowd; for they knew that he had spoken the parable of them. And they left him and went away.
Ndipo akulu a ansembe, aphunzitsi a malamulo ndi akuluakulu anafunafuna njira yoti amugwirire Iye chifukwa amadziwa kuti anayankhula fanizoli mowatsutsa iwo. Koma amaopa gulu la anthu; ndipo anamusiya napita.
13 And they send to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in speaking.
Pambuyo pake anatuma ena a Afarisi ndi Aherode kwa Yesu kuti adzamukole mawu ake.
14 And they come and say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and carest not for any one; for thou regardest not men's person, but teachest the way of God with truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?
Iwo anabwera kwa Iye nati, “Aphunzitsi, ife tikudziwa kuti Inu ndi munthu amene mumanena zoona. Inu simutengeka ndi anthu, chifukwa simusamala kuti ndi ndani; koma mumaphunzitsa njira ya Mulungu molingana ndi choonadi. Kodi ndi koyenera kupereka msonkho kwa Kaisara kapena ayi?
15 Should we give, or should we not give? But he knowing their hypocrisy said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius that I may see [it].
Kodi ife tipereke msonkho kapena ayi?” Koma Yesu anadziwa chinyengo chawo. Iye anafunsa kuti, “Bwanji mukufuna kundipeza chifukwa? Bweretsani ndalama kuti ndiyione.”
16 And they brought [it]. And he says to them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said to him, Caesar's.
Iwo anamubweretsera ndalama, ndipo anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi nkhope iyi ndi ya ndani? Nanga malembawa ndi a ndani?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Za Kaisara.”
17 And Jesus answering said to them, Pay what is Caesar's to Caesar, and what is God's to God. And they wondered at him.
Ndipo Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Perekani kwa Kaisara zake za Kaisara ndi kwa Mulungu zake za Mulungu.” Ndipo anazizwa naye.
18 And Sadducees come to him, that say there is no resurrection; and they demanded of him saying,
Kenaka Asaduki, amene amati kulibe kuuka kwa akufa, anabwera kwa Iye ndi funso.
19 Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if any one's brother die, and leave a wife behind, and leave no children, that his brother shall take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
Iwo anati, “Aphunzitsi, Mose anatilembera kuti munthu akamwalira ndi kusiya mkazi wopanda ana, mʼbale wa munthu womwalirayo akuyenera kukwatira mkaziyo kuti amuberekere ana mʼbale wakeyo.
20 There were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying did not leave seed;
Tsopano panali abale asanu ndi awiri. Woyamba anakwatira namwalira wosabereka ana.
21 and the second took her and died, and neither did he leave seed; and the third likewise.
Wachiwiri anakwatira mkazi wamasiyeyo, koma iye anamwalira wosabereka mwana. Zinali chimodzimodzi ndi wachitatu.
22 And the seven [took her and] did not leave seed. Last of all the woman also died.
Kunena zoona, palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe wa asanu ndi awiriwo anasiya ana. Pomaliza, mkaziyo anamwaliranso.
23 In the resurrection, when they shall rise again, of which of them shall she be wife, for the seven had her as wife?
Pa kuuka kwa akufa, adzakhala mkazi wa yani pakuti anakwatiwa ndi onse asanu ndi awiri?”
24 And Jesus answering said to them, Do not ye therefore err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God?
Yesu anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi si pamenepa nanga pomwe mumalakwira chifukwa simukudziwa malemba kapena mphamvu za Mulungu?
25 For when they rise from among [the] dead they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels [who are] in the heavens.
Pamene akufa auka, sadzakwatira kapena kukwatiwa; adzakhala ngati angelo kumwamba.
26 But concerning the dead that they rise, have ye not read in the book of Moses, in [the section of] the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
Tsopano kunena zakuti akufa amauka, kodi simunawerenge mʼbuku la Mose, pa nkhani yachitsamba choyaka moto, mmene Mulungu anati kwa iye, ‘Ine ndine Mulungu wa Abrahamu, Mulungu wa Isake, ndi Mulungu wa Yakobo?’
27 He is not the God of [the] dead, but of [the] living. Ye therefore greatly err.
Iye si Mulungu wa anthu akufa, koma wa amoyo. Inu mwalakwitsa kwambiri!”
28 And one of the scribes who had come up, and had heard them reasoning together, perceiving that he had answered them well, demanded of him, Which is [the] first commandment of all?
Mmodzi wa aphunzitsi amalamulo anabwera namva iwo akukambirana motsutsana. Poona kuti Yesu anawapatsa yankho labwino, anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Mwa malamulo onse, kodi lopambana koposa ndi liti?”
29 And Jesus answered him, [The] first commandment of all [is], Hear, Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord;
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Lamulo loposa onse ndi ili: ‘Tamvani inu Aisraeli! Yehova Mulungu wathu, Yehova ndi mmodzi!
30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding, and with all thy strength. This is [the] first commandment.
Uzikonda Yehova Mulungu wako ndi mtima wako wonse, ndi moyo wako wonse, ndi nzeru zako zonse ndi mphamvu zako zonse.’
31 And a second like it [is] this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is not another commandment greater than these.
Lachiwiri ndi ili: ‘Konda mnansi wako monga iwe mwini.’ Palibe lamulo lina loposa amenewa.”
32 And the scribe said to him, Right, teacher; thou hast spoken according to [the] truth. For he is one, and there is none other besides him;
Munthuyo anayankha kuti, “Mwanena bwino Aphunzitsi. Mwalondola ponena kuti Mulungu ndi mmodzi ndipo palibe wina wofanana naye koma Iye yekha.
33 and to love him with all the heart, and with all the intelligence, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is more than all the burnt-offerings and sacrifices.
Kumukonda Iye; ndi mtima wako wonse, ndi nzeru zako zonse, ndi mphamvu zako zonse, ndi kukonda mnansi wako monga iwe mwini, ndi zopambana kuposa zopereka ndi nsembe zopsereza.”
34 And Jesus, seeing that he had answered intelligently, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared question him any more.
Yesu ataona kuti wayankha mwanzeru, anati kwa iye, “Iwe suli kutali ndi ufumu wa Mulungu.” Ndipo kuyambira pamenepo panalibe ndi mmodzi yemwe anayesa kumufunsanso.
35 And Jesus answering said [as he was] teaching in the temple, How do the scribes say that the Christ is son of David?
Yesu akuphunzitsa mʼmabwalo a Nyumba ya Mulungu, anafunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani aphunzitsi amalamulo amanena kuti, ‘Khristu ndi Mwana wa Davide?’
36 [for] David himself said [speaking] in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet.
Pajatu Davide mwini wake, poyankhula mwa Mzimu Woyera, ananena kuti, “Ambuye anati kwa Ambuye anga: ‘Khalani pa dzanja langa lamanja kufikira nditayika adani anu pansi pa mapazi anu.’
37 David himself [therefore] calls him Lord, and whence is he his son? And the mass of the people heard him gladly.
Davide mwini wake amutchula Iye, ‘Ambuye.’ Nanga angakhale bwanji mwana wake?” Gulu lalikulu la anthu linamvetsera ndi chisangalalo.
38 And he said to them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who like to walk about in long robes, and salutations in the marketplaces,
Pamene ankaphunzitsa, Yesu anati, “Samalani ndi aphunzitsi a malamulo. Amakonda kuyendayenda atavala mikanjo ikuluikulu ndi kumalonjeredwa mʼmisika.
39 and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at suppers;
Ndipo amakhala pa mipando yofunika kwambiri mʼmasunagoge ndi malo aulemu pa maphwando.
40 who devour the houses of widows, and as a pretext make long prayers. These shall receive a severer judgment.
Amawononga chuma cha akazi amasiye ndiponso amapemphera mapemphero aatali odzionetsera. Anthu oterewa adzalangidwa kwambiri.”
41 And Jesus, having sat down opposite the treasury, saw how the crowd was casting money into the treasury; and many rich cast in much.
Yesu anakhala pansi moyangʼanana ndi pamene amaperekera zopereka ndipo amaona anthu akupereka ndalama zawo mʼthumba la Nyumba ya Mulungu. Anthu ambiri olemera anaponya ndalama zambiri.
42 And a poor widow came and cast in two mites, which is a farthing.
Koma mkazi wamasiye, wosauka anabwera ndi kuyikamo tindalama tiwiri ta kopala, tongokwanira theka la ndalama.
43 And having called his disciples to [him] he said to them, Verily I say unto you, This poor widow has cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury:
Yesu anayitana ophunzira ake nati, “Zoonadi, ndikuwuzani kuti mayi wosauka wamasiyeyu waponya zambiri mʼthumbali kuposa ena onsewa.
44 for all have cast in of that which they had in abundance, but she of her destitution has cast in all that she had, the whole of her living.
Iwo apereka molingana ndi chuma chawo; koma iye, mwaumphawi wake, wapereka zonse anali nazo ngakhale zoti akanagulira chakudya.”
