Mark 12
1 And he began to speake vnto them in parables, A certaine man planted a vineyard, and copassed it with an hedge, and digged a pit for the winepresse, and built a tower in it, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange countrey.
Kisha Yesu alianza kuwafundisha kwa mifano. Akasema, “Mtu alipanda shamba la mizabibu, akalizungushia uzio, na akachimba shimo la kusindika mvinyo. Akajenga mnara na kisha akalipangisha shamba la mizabibu kwa wakulima wa mizabibu. Kisha alisafiri safari ya mbali.
2 And at the time, he sent to the husbandmen a seruant, that he might receiue of the husbandmen of the fruite of the vineyard.
Wakati ulipofika, alimtuma mtumishi kwa wakulima wa mizabibu kupokea kutoka kwao baadhi ya matunda ya shamba la mizabibu.
3 But they tooke him, and beat him, and sent him away emptie.
Lakini walimkamata, wakampiga, na wakamfukuza bila chochote.
4 And againe he sent vnto them another seruant, and at him they cast stones, and brake his head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
Akamtuma kwao mtumishi mwingine, wakamjeruhi kichwani na kumtendea mambo ya aibu.
5 And againe he sent another, and him they slew, and many other, beating some, and killing some.
Bado alimtuma mwingine, na huyu mmoja walimwua. Waliwatendea wengine wengi mambo kama hayo hayo, wakiwapiga na wengine kuwaua.
6 Yet had he one sonne, his deare beloued: him also he sent the last vnto them, saying, They will reuerence my sonne.
Alikuwa bado na mtu mmoja zaidi wa kumtuma, mwana mpendwa. Naye alikuwa wa mwisho aliyetumwa kwao. Akisema, “Watamheshimu mwanangu”.
7 But ye husbandmen said among themselues, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and the inheritance shalbe ours.
Lakini wapangaji walisemezana wao kwa wao, “Huyu ndiye mrithi. Njoni, hebu na tumwue, na urithi utakuwa wetu.”
8 So they tooke him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
Walimvamia, wakamuua na kumtupa nje ya shamba la mizabibu.
9 What shall then the Lord of the vineyard doe? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and giue the vineyard to others.
Kwa hiyo, Je! Atafanya nini mmiliki wa shamba la mizabibu? Atakuja na kuwaangamiza wakulima wa mizabibu na atalikabidhi shamba la mizabibu kwa wengine.
10 Haue ye not read so much as this Scripture? The stone which the builders did refuse, is made the head of the corner.
Hamjapata kusoma andiko hili? “Jiwe ambalo wajenzi walilikataa, limekuwa jiwe la pembeni.
11 This was done of the Lord, and it is marueilous in our eyes.
Hili lilitoka kwa Bwana, na ni la ajabu machoni petu.”
12 Then they went about to take him, but they feared the people: for they perceiued that he spake that parable against them: therefore they left him, and went their way.
Walitafuta kumkamata Yesu, Lakini waliwaogopa makutano, kwani walijua kuwa alikuwa amenena mfano huo dhidi yao. Hivyo walimwacha na wakaenda zao.
13 And they sent vnto him certaine of the Pharises, and of ye Herodians that they might take him in his talke.
Kisha wakawatuma baadhi ya mafarisayo na maherodia kwake ili kumtega kwa maneno.
14 And when they came, they saide vnto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou considerest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God truely, Is it lawfull to giue tribute to Cesar, or not?
Walipofika, wakamwambia, “Mwalimu, tunajua kwamba hujali maoni ya yeyote na huonyeshi upendeleo kati ya watu. Unafundisha njia ya Mungu katika ukweli. Je! Ni haki kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari au la? Je! Twaweza kulipa au la?
15 Should we giue it, or should we not giue it? but he knew their hypocrisie, and said vnto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a peny, that I may see it.
Lakini Yesu alijua unafiki wao na kuwaambia, “Kwa nini mnanijaribu? Nipeni dinari niweze kuitazama.”
16 So they brought it, and he said vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription? and they said vnto him, Cesars.
Wakaleta moja kwa Yesu, Akawaambia, “Je! ni sura ya nani na maandishi yaliyopo hapa ni ya nani? Wakasema, “Ya Kaisari.”
17 Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Giue to Cesar the things that are Cesars, and to God, those that are Gods: and they marueiled at him.
Yesu akawaambia, “Mpeni Kaisari vitu vya Kaisari na Mungu vitu vya Mungu.” Wakamstaajabia.
18 Then came the Sadduces vnto him, (which say, there is no resurrection) and they asked him, saying,
Kisha Masadukayo, wasemao hakuna ufufuo, walimwendea. Wakamuwuliza, wakisema,
19 Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die, and leaue his wife, and leaue no children, that his brother should take his wife, and rayse vp seede vnto his brother.
“Mwalimu, Musa alituandikia kuwa, 'Ikiwa ndugu ya mtu akifa na kumwacha mke nyuma yake, lakini hakuacha mtoto, mtu atamchukua mke wa ndugu yake, na kujipatia watoto kwa ajili ya ndugu yake.'
20 There were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and when he died, left no issue.
Kulikuwa na ndugu saba, wa kwanza alitwaa mke na kisha akafa, hakuacha watoto.
21 Then the seconde tooke her, and he died, neither did he yet leaue issue, and the third likewise:
Kisha wa pili alimchukua naye akafa, hakuacha watoto. Na wa tatu hali kadhalika.
22 So those seuen had her, and left no yssue: last of all the wife died also.
Na wa saba alikufa bila kuacha watoto. Mwishowe na mwanamke pia akafa.
23 In the resurrection then, when they shall rise againe, whose wife shall she be of them? for seuen had her to wife.
Wakati wa ufufuo, watakapofufuka tena, Je! Atakuwa mke wa nani? Kwani wale ndugu wote saba walikuwa waume wake.”
24 Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Are ye not therefore deceiued, because ye knowe not the Scriptures, neither the power of God?
Yesu aliwaambia, “Je! Hii si sababu kuwa mmepotoshwa, kwa sababu hamjui maandiko wala nguvu za Mungu?”
25 For when they shall rise againe from the dead, neither men marry, nor wiues are married, but are as the Angels which are in heauen.
Wakati wa kufufuka toka kwa wafu, hawataoa wala kuingia katika ndoa, bali watakuwa kama malaika wa mbinguni.
26 And as touching the dead, that they shall rise againe, haue ye not read in the booke of Moses, howe in the bush God spake vnto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob?
Lakini, kuhusu wafu ambao wanafufuliwa, Je! Hamkusoma kutoka katika kitabu cha Musa, katika habari za kichaka, jinsi Mungu alivyosema na kumwambia, 'Mimi ni Mungu wa Abrahimu, na Mungu wa Isaka, na Mungu wa Yakobo?'
27 God is not ye God of the dead, but the God of the liuing. Ye are therefore greatly deceiued.
Yeye si Mungu wa wafu, bali wa walio hai. Ni dhahiri mmepotoka.”
28 Then came one of the Scribes that had heard them disputing together, and perceiuing that he had answered them well, he asked him, Which is the first commandement of all?
Mmoja wa waandishi alikuja na kuyasikia mazungumzo yao; aliona kwamba Yesu aliwajibu vema. Alimwuliza, “Je! ni amri ipi iliyo ya muhimu zaidi katika zote?”
29 Iesus answered him, The first of all the commandements is, Heare, Israel, The Lord our God is the onely Lord.
Yesu alimjibu, “Iliyo ya muhimu ni hii, “Sikia, Israeli, Bwana Mungu wetu, Bwana ni mmoja.
30 Thou shalt therefore loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy minde, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandement.
Lazima umpende Bwana Mungu wako, kwa moyo wako yote, kwa roho yako yote, kwa akili yako yote, na kwa nguvu zako zote.'
31 And the second is like, that is, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. There is none other commandement greater then these.
Amri ya pili ni hii, 'Lazima umpende jirani yako kama unavyojipenda mwenyewe.' Hakuna amri nyingine kuu zaidi ya hizi.”
32 Then that Scribe said vnto him, Well, Master, thou hast saide the trueth, that there is one God, and that there is none but he,
Mwandishi akasema, “Vema Mwalimu! Umesema kweli kwamba Mungu ni mmoja, na kwamba hakuna mwingine zaidi yake.
33 And to loue him with all the heart, and with all the vnderstanding, and with all the soule, and with all the strength, and to loue his neighbour as himselfe, is more then all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Kumpenda yeye kwa moyo wote, na kwa ufahamu wote na kwa nguvu zote, na kumpenda jirani kama mwenyewe, ni muhimu mno kuliko matoleo na dhabihu za kuteketeza.”
34 Then when Iesus saw that he answered discreetely, he saide vnto him, Thou art not farre from the kingdome of God. And no man after that durst aske him any question.
Wakati Yesu alipoona ametoa jibu la busara, alimwambia, “Wewe hauko mbali na ufalme wa Mungu.” Baada ya hapo hakuna hata mmoja aliye thubutu kumwuliza Yesu maswali yoyote.
35 And Iesus answered and said teaching in the Temple, Howe say the Scribes that Christ is the sonne of Dauid?
Na Yesu alijibu, wakati alipokuwa akifundisha katika hekalu, akasema, “Je! waandishi husemaje kuwa Kristo ni mwana wa Daudi?
36 For Dauid himselfe said by ye holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole.
Daudi mwenyewe katika Roho Mtakatifu, alisema, 'Bwana alisema kwa Bwana wangu, keti katika mkono wangu wa kuume, mpaka niwafanye maadui wako kuwa chini ya miguu yako.'
37 Then Dauid himselfe calleth him Lord: by what meanes is he then his sonne? and much people heard him gladly.
Daudi mwenyewe humwita Kristo, 'Bwana' Je! ni mwana wa Daudi kwa jinsi gani?” Na kusanyiko kuu lilimsikiliza kwa furaha.
38 Moreouer he saide vnto them in his doctrine, Beware of the Scribes which loue to goe in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets,
Katika mafundisho yake Yesu alisema, “Jihadharini na waandishi, wanaotamani kutembea na kanzu ndefu na kusalimiwa kwenye masoko
39 And the chiefe seates in the Synagogues, and the first roumes at feastes,
na kuketi kwenye viti vya wakuu katika masinagogi na katika sikukuu kwa maeneo ya wakuu.
40 Which deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers. These shall receiue the greater damnation.
Pia wanakula nyumba za wajane na wanaomba maombi marefu ili watu wawaone. Hawa watu watapokea hukumu iliyo kuu.”
41 And as Iesus sate ouer against the treasurie, he beheld how the people cast money into the treasurie, and many rich men cast in much.
Kisha Yesu aliketi chini karibu na sanduku la sadaka ndani ya eneo la hekalu; alikuwa akitazama watu waliokuwa wakitia pesa zao ndani ya sanduku. Watu wengi matajiri waliweka kiasi kikubwa cha pesa.
42 And there came a certaine poore widowe, and she threw in two mites, which make a quadrin.
Kisha mwanamke mjane maskini alikuja na kutia vipande viwili, thamani ya senti.
43 Then he called vnto him his disciples, and said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, that this poore widowe hath cast more in, then all they which haue cast into the treasurie.
Kisha akawaita wanafunzi wake na kuwaambia, “Amini nawaambia, mwanamke huyu mjane ametia kiasi kikubwa zaidi ya wote ambao wameshatoa katika sanduku la sadaka.
44 For they all did cast in of their superfluitie: but she of her pouertie did cast in all that she had, euen all her liuing.
Kwani wote wametoa kutokana na wingi wa mapato yao. Lakini mwanamke mjane huyu, kutoka katika umaskini wake, katia pesa yote ambayo alipaswa kuitumia kwa maisha yake.”
