Mark 12
1 And he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a vineyard and made a hedge about it, and dug a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it to husbandmen; and went into a far country.
Awo Yesu n’atandika okwogera nabo mu ngero, ng’agamba nti, “Waaliwo omusajja eyalima ennimiro y’emizabbibu, n’ateeka olukomera okugyetooloola, n’ateekamu essogolero, n’azimbamu n’omunaala, n’agifuniramu abalimi abaagipangisa, n’agenda olugendo.
2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive of the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
Ekiseera ky’amakungula bwe kyatuuka, n’abatumira omuddu okufuna ebibala okuva mu nnimiro ey’emizabbibu.
3 Who having laid hands on him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
Naye bwe yatuuka ku nnimiro abalimi ne bamukuba ne bamusindika n’addayo ngalo nsa.
4 And again he sent to them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and used him reproachfully.
Nannyini nnimiro n’atuma omuddu we omulala, oyo ne bamukuba olubale, ne bamuswaza.
5 And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, of whom some they beat, and others they killed.
Omubaka omulala gwe yatuma baamutta bussi, ate abalala be yazzaako okutuma, abamu baabakuba n’abalala ne babatta.
6 Therefore having yet one son, most dear to him; he also sent him unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son.
“Yali asigazzaawo omu yekka ow’okutuma, ye mutabani we omwagalwa. Bw’atyo n’amutuma gye bali ng’agamba nti, ‘Bajja kussaamu mutabani wange ekitiibwa.’
7 But the husbandmen said one to another: This is the heir; come let us kill him; and the inheritance shall be ours.
“Naye abalimi abo ne bateesa bokka na bokka nti, Ono ye musika, mujje tumutte ebyobusika tubyesigalize!
8 And laying hold on him, they killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
Awo ne bamukwata ne bamutta omulambo gwe ne bagusuula ebweru w’ennimiro y’emizabbibu.
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen; and will give the vineyard to others.
“Mulowooza nannyini nnimiro alikola atya? Agenda kujja, abalimi abo bonna abazikirize, ennimiro ye agipangiseemu abalimi abalala.
10 And have you not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner:
Temusomangako byawandiikibwa nti, “‘Ejjinja abazimbi lye baagaana, lye lifuuse ejjinja ekkulu ery’oku nsonda.
11 By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes.
Ekyo Mukama ye yakikola era kitwewuunyisa nnyo okukiraba.’”
12 And they sought to lay hands on him, but they feared the people. For they knew that he spoke this parable to them. And leaving him, they went their way.
Abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya ne bamanya ng’olugero lwali lukwata ku bo, olwo ne banoonya engeri gye bayinza okumukwata, naye ne batya ekibiina. Ne bamuviira ne bagenda.
13 And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians; that they should catch him in his words.
Ne bamuweereza abamu ku Bafalisaayo n’Abakerodiyaani boogere, bagezeeko okumutega mu bigambo.
14 Who coming, say to him: Master, we know that thou art a true speaker, and carest not for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar; or shall we not give it?
Awo ne bajja gy’ali ne bamugamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, tumanyi ng’oyogera mazima era tolina gw’otya. Toffaayo ku nfaanana y’abantu, wabula amazima ameereere, era oyigiriza ekkubo lya Katonda. Kituufu okuwa Kayisaali omusolo oba tetugumuwa?”
15 Who knowing their wiliness, saith to them: Why tempt you me? bring me a penny that I may see it.
Naye Yesu n’ategeera obunnanfuusi bwabwe n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki munkema. Mundeetere ensimbi ngirabe.”
16 And they brought it him. And he saith to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They say to him, Caesar’s.
Ne bagimuleetera, n’ababuuza nti, “Ekifaananyi kino n’ebiwandiiko ebiri ku nsimbi kuno by’ani?” Ne bamuddamu nti, “Bya Kayisaali.”
17 And Jesus answering, said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him.
N’abagamba nti, “Kale ebintu bya Kayisaali mubiwenga Kayisaali n’ebya Katonda, mubiwenga Katonda!” Ne bamwewuunya nnyo.
18 And there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying:
Awo Abasaddukaayo abagamba nti tewali kuzuukira, ne bamubuuza nti,
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, that if any man’s brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
“Omuyigiriza, Musa yatuwa etteeka erigamba nti omusajja omufumbo bw’afanga nga tazadde baana, muganda w’omufu awasenga nnamwandu wa muganda we oyo alyoke amuzaalire abaana.
20 Now there were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and died leaving no issue.
Waaliwo abooluganda musanvu, mukulu waabwe n’awasa, Oluvannyuma n’afa nga tazadde baana.
21 And the second took her, and died: and neither did he leave any issue. And the third in like manner.
Muto w’omufu kwe kuwasa nnamwandu wa mukulu we, waayitawo akabanga katono naye n’afa, nga naye tazadde mwana. Muganda w’omufu amuddako n’awasa nnamwandu oyo, naye n’atazaala.
22 And the seven all took her in like manner; and did not leave issue. Last of all the woman also died.
Bonna omusanvu ne bafa ne baggwaawo. Oluvannyuma n’omukazi naye n’afa.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
Kale, mu kuzuukira kw’abafu omukazi oyo aliba muka ani, kubanga bonna yabafumbirwako?”
24 And Jesus answering, saith to them: Do ye not therefore err, because you know not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ekibaleetedde okukyama bwe butamanya byawandiikibwa, n’obutategeera maanyi ga Katonda.
25 For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven.
Kubanga bwe balizuukira mu bafu tebagenda kufumbiriganwa, kubanga bonna baliba nga bamalayika bwe bali mu ggulu.
26 And as concerning the dead that they rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
Ate ebifa ku kuzuukira kw’abafu, temusomanga mu kitabo Musa bwe yali ku kisaka Katonda n’amugamba nti, ‘Nze Katonda wa Ibulayimu era Katonda wa Isaaka era Katonda wa Yakobo?’
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore do greatly err.
Katonda si Katonda w’abafu, wabula ow’abalamu. Mukyamye nnyo.”
28 And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was the first commandment of all.
Awo omu ku bannyonnyozi b’amateeka eyali ayimiridde awo ng’awuliriza bye baali beebuuza, n’ategeera nga Yesu azzeemu bulungi. Naye n’amubuuzaayo nti, “Mu mateeka gonna, erisingamu obukulu lye liruwa?”
29 And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O Israel: the Lord thy God is one God.
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ery’olubereberye lye lino nti, ‘Wulira, Isirayiri! Mukama Katonda waffe, Mukama ali omu yekka.
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind, and with thy whole strength. This is the first commandment.
Era yagala Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna n’omwoyo gwo gwonna, n’amagezi go gonna, n’amaanyi go gonna.’
31 And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
N’eryokubiri lye lino nti, ‘Oyagalanga muliraanwa wo nga bwe weeyagala wekka.’ Tewaliiwo mateeka malala gasinga ago bukulu.”
32 And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth, that there is one God, and there is no other besides him.
Omunnyonnyozi w’amateeka n’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza ekigambo ky’oyogedde kya mazima bw’ogambye nti waliwo Katonda omu yekka era teriiyo mulala.
33 And that he should be loved with the whole heart, and with the whole understanding, and with the whole soul, and with the whole strength; and to love one’s neighbour as one’s self, is a greater thing than all holocausts and sacrifices.
Era mmanyi nga kikulu nnyo okumwagala n’omutima gwaffe gwonna, n’okutegeera kwaffe n’amaanyi gaffe, n’okwagala muliraanwa wo nga bwe weeyagala wekka, era ng’ekyo kikulu okusinga ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ne ssaddaaka.”
34 And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
Yesu bwe yalaba ng’omusajja azzeemu n’amagezi n’amugamba nti, “Toli wala n’obwakabaka bwa Katonda.” Okuva ku ekyo ne watabaawo muntu n’omu eyayaŋŋanga okwongera okumubuuza ebibuuzo ebirala.
35 And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the scribes say, that Christ is the son of David?
Bwe waayitawo akabanga, Yesu yali ayigiriza mu Yeekaalu, n’ababuuza nti, “Lwaki abannyonnyozi b’amateeka bagamba nti Kristo Mwana wa Dawudi?
36 For David himself saith by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
Kubanga Mwoyo Mutukuvu bwe yali ali ku Dawudi, Dawudi yennyini yagamba ku bwa Mwoyo Mutukuvu nti, “‘Mukama yagamba Mukama wange nti, “Tuulira wano ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, okutuusa lwe nditeeka abalabe bo wansi w’ebigere byo.”’
37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord, and whence is he then his son? And a great multitude heard him gladly.
Dawudi yennyini amuyita Mukama we, ayinza atya ate okuba Omwana we?” Ekibiina kyalimu abantu bangi, ne bamuwuliriza n’essanyu.
38 And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who love to walk in long robes, and to be saluted in the marketplace,
Awo Yesu n’ayigiriza ng’agamba nti, “Mwekuume abannyonnyozi b’amateeka, kubanga baagala nnyo okwambala ne batambulatambula mu butale ng’abantu babalamusa.
39 And to sit in the first chairs, in the synagogues, and to have the highest places at suppers:
Baagala nnyo okutuula mu bifo ebisinga obulungi mu makuŋŋaaniro, n’okutuula mu bifo eby’ekitiibwa ku mbaga.
40 Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long prayer: these shall receive greater judgment.
Kyokka, banyagako bannamwandu ebintu byabwe, ne beeraga nga basaba esaala empanvu ennyo. Ekibonerezo kyabwe kyekiriva kibeera ekinene ddala.”
41 And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the people cast money into the treasury, and many that were rich cast in much.
Awo Yesu bwe yatuula okwolekera eggwanika ly’ensimbi, n’alaba engeri ekibiina ky’abantu gye bateekamu ensimbi mu ggwanika. Abagagga bangi baali bateekamu ensimbi nnyingi.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she cast in two mites, which make a farthing.
Awo nnamwandu eyali omwavu n’ajja n’ateekamu ebitundu bibiri, ye kodulante.
43 And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast into the treasury.
Yesu n’ayita abayigirizwa be, n’abagamba nti, “Ddala ddala mbagamba nti nnamwandu oyo omwavu awaddeyo nnyo okusinga bonna bali abatadde mu ggwanika.
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want cast in all she had, even her whole living.
Kubanga bonna bataddemu ku bibafikkiridde, naye ate nnamwandu ono mu kwetaaga kwe ataddemu kyonna ky’abadde nakyo, ekibadde kijja okumuyamba obulamu bwe bwonna.”
