Matthew 22
1 Then Iesus answered, and spake vnto them againe in parables, saying,
Yesu n’addamu n’ayogera nabo mu ngero ng’agamba nti,
2 The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine King which maried his sonne,
“Obwakabaka obw’omu ggulu bufaanana nga, kabaka eyategekera omwana we embaga ey’obugole.
3 And sent foorth his seruants, to call them that were bidde to the wedding, but they woulde not come.
N’atuma abaddu be okuyita abaayitibwa ku mbaga, ne batayagala kujja.
4 Againe hee sent foorth other seruants, saying. Tell them which are bidden, Beholde, I haue prepared my dinner: mine oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all thinges are readie: come vnto the mariage.
“Kabaka n’abatumira abaddu abalala babategeeze nti, ‘Mutegeeze abayite nti nteeseteese, ekijjulo, zisseddume zange n’ente ensavuwazze zittiddwa, era buli kimu kitegekeddwa. Mujje ku mbaga.’
5 But they made light of it, and went their wayes, one to his farme, and another about his marchandise.
“Naye ne batassaayo mwoyo, omu n’alaga mu nnimiro ye, omulala n’alaga mu bya busuubuzi bye.
6 And the remnant tooke his seruants, and intreated them sharpely, and slewe them.
Abalala ne babakwata ne bababonyaabonya ne babatta.
7 But when the King heard it, he was wroth, and sent foorth his warriers, and destroyed those murtherers, and burnt vp their citie.
Awo Kabaka n’asunguwala, n’ayungula ekibinja ky’abaserikale n’azikiriza abatemu abo, n’ayokya ekibuga kyabwe.
8 Then saide hee to his seruants, Truely the wedding is prepared: but they which were bidden, were not worthy.
“Awo kabaka n’agamba abaddu be nti, ‘Ekijjulo ky’embaga kiteekeddwateekeddwa, naye abaayitibwa ne batasaanira.
9 Go ye therefore out into the high wayes, and as many as ye finde, bid them to the mariage.
Noolwekyo mugende mu nguudo z’omu kibuga muyite abantu bonna be munaasangayo bajje ku mbaga.’
10 So those seruantes went out into the hie wayes, and gathered together all that euer they found, both good and bad: so the wedding was furnished with ghestes.
Abaddu bwe baagenda mu nguudo, ne bakuŋŋaanya buli gwe baasanga, ababi n’abalungi, ekisenge ky’embaga ne kijjula abagenyi.
11 Then the King came in, to see the ghestes, and sawe there a man which had not on a wedding garment.
“Kabaka bwe yayingira okulaba abaali batudde ku mmeeza, n’alaba omusajja eyali tayambadde kyambalo kya mbaga.
12 And he sayd vnto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, and hast not on a wedding garment? And he was speachlesse.
Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, ‘Munnange, oyingidde otya wano nga toyambadde kyambalo kya mbaga?’ Omusajja nga talina ky’addamu.
13 Then sayd the King to the seruants, Binde him hand and foote: take him away, and cast him into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnashing of teeth.
“Awo kabaka n’alagira basajja be nti, ‘Mumusibe emikono n’amagulu mumukasuke ebweru mu kizikiza ekikutte be zigizigi, eri okukaaba n’okuluma obujiji.’
14 For many are called, but fewe chosen.
“Abayitibwa bangi, naye abalondemu batono.”
15 Then went the Pharises and tooke counsell how they might tangle him in talke.
Awo Abafalisaayo ne bagenda ne bateesa engeri gye banaategamu Yesu bamukwase mu bigambo.
16 And they sent vnto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we knowe that thou art true, and teachest the way of God truely, neither carest for any man: for thou considerest not the person of men.
Ne bamutumira abayigirizwa baabwe awamu n’Abakerodiyaani nga bagamba nti, “Omuyigiriza, tumanyi ng’oli mulungi, era oyigiriza mazima awatali kutya muntu yenna, kubanga tososola mu bantu.
17 Tell vs therefore, how thinkest thou? Is it lawfull to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or not?
Kale tutegeeze, olowooza ekituufu kye kiri wa? Kituufu okuwa Kayisaali omusolo oba si kituufu?”
18 But Iesus perceiued their wickednes, and sayd, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
Naye Yesu bwe yamanya obutali butuukirivu bwabwe, n’abagamba nti, “Bannanfuusi mmwe, Lwaki mungezesa?
19 Shewe me the tribute money. And they brought him a peny.
Kale, mundeetere wano ku nsimbi ze muweesa omusolo ndabe.” Ne bamuleetera eddinaali.
20 And he sayde vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
N’ababuuza nti, “Kino ekifaananyi n’obuwandiike ebiriko by’ani?”
21 They sayd vnto him, Cesars. Then sayd he vnto them, Giue therefore to Cesar, the things which are Cesars, and giue vnto God, those things which are Gods.
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Bya Kayisaali.” N’abagamba nti, “Kale ebya Kayisaali mubiwenga Kayisaali, n’ebya Katonda mubiwenga Katonda.”
22 And when they heard it, they marueiled, and left him, and went their way.
Bwe baawulira ebigambo ebyo ne beewuunya ne bamuleka ne bagenda.
23 The same day the Sadduces came to him (which say that there is no resurrection) and asked him,
Ku lunaku olwo lwe lumu, Abasaddukaayo, abagamba nti, “Tewali kuzuukira,” ne bajja eri Yesu, ne bamubuuza nti,
24 Saying, Master, Moses sayd, If a man die, hauing no children, his brother shall marie his wife by the right of alliance, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.
“Omuyigiriza Musa yagamba nti, ‘Singa omusajja afa nga tazadde mwana, muganda w’omufu awase nnamwandu oyo azaalire muganda we abaana.’
25 Nowe there were with vs seuen brethren, and the first maried a wife, and deceased: and hauing none yssue, left his wife vnto his brother.
Twalina abooluganda musanvu. Owooluganda ow’olubereberye n’awasa, kyokka n’afa nga tazadde mwana, bw’atyo mukazi we n’afumbirwa muganda we.
26 Likewise also the second, and the third, vnto the seuenth.
Ekintu kye kimu ne kituuka ku wookubiri ne ku wookusatu, okutuusa ku w’omusanvu.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
Oluvannyuma n’omukazi oyo naye n’afa.
28 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seuen? for all had her.
Kale okuzuukira nga kutuuse omukazi oyo aliba muka ani ku abo omusanvu? Kubanga bonna abooluganda omusanvu yabafumbirwako.”
29 Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Ye are deceiued, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Naye Yesu n’abagamba nti, “Olw’obutamanya byawandiikibwa n’obutategeera maanyi ga Katonda kyemuvudde mukyama.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marie wiues, nor wiues are bestowed in mariage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen.
Kubanga mu kuzuukira teriiyo kuwasa wadde okufumbirwa, naye abantu bonna baba nga bamalayika mu ggulu.
31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, haue ye not read what is spoken vuto you of God, saying,
Naye ebikwata ku kuzuukira kw’abafu, temusomanga ku kigambo ekyayogerwa Katonda ng’agamba nti,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the liuing.
‘Nze, ndi Katonda wa Ibulayimu era ndi Katonda wa Isaaka era ndi Katonda wa Yakobo?’ Noolwekyo Katonda si Katonda wa bafu wabula Katonda wa balamu.”
33 And when the multitude heard it, they were astonied at his doctrine.
Ebibiina ne biwuniikirira bwe baawulira okuyigiriza kwe.
34 But when the Pharises had heard, that he had put the Sadduces to silence, they assembled together.
Abafalisaayo bwe baawulira nga Yesu Abasaddukaayo abamazeeko eby’okwogera, ne bakuŋŋaana.
35 And one of them, which was an expounder of the Lawe, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
Omu ku bo eyali munnamateeka n’amubuuza ekibuuzo ng’amugezesa nti,
36 Master, which is ye great commandement in the Lawe?
“Omuyigiriza, tteeka ki erisinga obukulu mu mateeka.”
37 Iesus sayd to him, Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soule, and with all thy minde.
Yesu n’addamu nti, “‘Yagalanga Mukama Katonda wo n’omutima gwo gwonna, n’obulamu bwo bwonna, n’amagezi go gonna.’
38 This is the first and the great commandement.
Eryo ly’etteeka ery’olubereberye era lye Iisingira ddala obukulu.
39 And the second is like vnto this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
N’eryokubiri eririfaananako lye lino nti, ‘Yagalanga muliraanwa wo nga gwe bwe weeyagala wekka.’
40 On these two commandements hangeth the whole Lawe, and the Prophets.
Amateeka amalala gonna gasinziira mu mateeka ago gombi ne bya bannabbi.”
41 While the Pharises were gathered together, Iesus asked them,
Awo mu kiseera ekyo Abafalisaayo nga bakuŋŋaanye, Yesu n’ababuuza nti,
42 Saying, What thinke ye of Christ? whose sonne is he? They sayd vnto him, Dauids.
“Kristo mumulowoozako mutya? Mwana waani?” Ne baddamu nti, “Mwana wa Dawudi.”
43 He sayd vnto them, How then doeth Dauid in spirit call him Lord, saying,
Yesu kyeyava ababuuza nti, “Dawudi ng’ajjudde Omwoyo bw’ayogera ku Kristo, lwaki ate amuyita ‘Mukama we’, ng’agamba nti,
44 The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole?
“‘Mukama yagamba Mukama wange nti: “Tuulira wano ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, okutuusa lwe ndifufuggaza abalabe bo ne mbassa wansi w’ebigere byo?”’
45 If then Dauid call him Lord, howe is he his sonne?
Noolwekyo obanga Dawudi amuyita ‘Mukama we,’ kale, ate abeera atya omwana we?”
46 And none could answere him a worde, neither durst any from that day foorth aske him any moe questions.
Ne wataba n’omu amuddamu, era okuva olwo ne watabaawo ayaŋŋanga kwongera kumubuuza bibuuzo birala.
