Matthew 22
1 Then Iesus answered, and spake vnto them againe in parables, saying,
Yesu walamba kayi mumikoshanyo ingi. Walambeti,
2 The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine King which maried his sonne,
“Bwami bwakwilu bwakoshaneti, Mwami walabambila mwanendi malyalya a bwinga.”
3 And sent foorth his seruants, to call them that were bidde to the wedding, but they woulde not come.
Walatuma basebenshi bakendi kuya kutamba bantu ku malyalya abwinga kwambeti bese, nsombi nabo balakana.
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.
Walatuma kayi nabambi, ne kubambileti, “Yani mwambile bonse basa balatambwa, kwambeti cakulya cilabambwa, ndashini ng'ombe, ne bombe bansuka, byonse bilabambwa, kamwisani ku malyalya abwinga.”
5 But they made light of it, and went their wayes, one to his farme, and another about his marchandise.
Nomba abo balatambwa baliya kuyako sobwe, bonse balaya kuncito shabo. Naumbi walaya kumabala kwakendi, naumbi walaya kumakwebo akendi.
6 And the remnant tooke his seruants, and intreated them sharpely, and slewe them.
Nabambi balekata basebenshi basa, balabapensha ne kubashina.
7 But when the King heard it, he was wroth, and sent foorth his warriers, and destroyed those murtherers, and burnt vp their citie.
Mwami walakalala kwine, walatuma bashilikali bakendi kuya kubashina basa bantu balikushina banabo, ne kubatentela munshi wabo.
8 Then saide hee to his seruants, Truely the wedding is prepared: but they which were bidden, were not worthy.
Panyuma pakendi walakuwa basebenshi bakendi ne kubambileti, malyalya abwinga alabambwa, nomba balatambwa basa nkabanga belela.
9 Go ye therefore out into the high wayes, and as many as ye finde, bid them to the mariage.
“Anu lino kamuyani mu mampambanya a nshila, mwenga mutambe balibonse mbweshi mucane, bese kumalyalya abwinga kuno.”
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.
Cakubinga basebenshi basa balaya munshila kuya kutamba balibonse mbobalikucana, baipa ne baina, ng'anda yalesula ne bantu.
11 Then the King came in, to see the ghestes, and sawe there a man which had not on a wedding garment.
Mwami mpwalengila mung'andomo kuya kubona bantu balatambwa, walabonamo muntu naumbi wabula kufwala cakufwala capabwinga.
12 And he sayd vnto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, and hast not on a wedding garment? And he was speachlesse.
Walamwipusheti, “Obe ndo, ulengili aconi muno wabula cakufwala capabwinga?” Nendi walabula cakukumbula.
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.
Mwami walambila basebenshi bakendi, “Musungeni kumyendo ne kumakasa, mu muwale kunsa mu mushinshe. Kopeloko nkweshi akalilenga ne kukokota meno.”
14 For many are called, but fewe chosen.
Pakupwililisha Yesu walambeti, “Ee, batambwa nibangi, nsombi, balasalwa nibang'ana.”
15 Then went the Pharises and tooke counsell how they might tangle him in talke.
Pacindi nacimbi, Bafalisi balapangana sha kumutapa mukanwa Yesu pakumwipusha mipusho.
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.
Balatuma beshikwiya babo nabambi, ne bamucipani candale ca Helode kuya kuli Yesu, balambeti, “Bashikwiyisha, tucishi kwambeti mukute kwamba cakubinga, mukute kwiyisha nshila ya Lesa mwakubinga, kayi nkamukute kutinapo muntu sobwe, nkamukute kuboneti uyu niyani.”
17 Tell vs therefore, how thinkest thou? Is it lawfull to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or not?
Neco tulesa kwambeti mutwambileko ncomulayeyenga. “Sena Milawo ya Lesa yasuminisha kusonka musonko kuli Mwami waku Loma, nambi sobwe?”
18 But Iesus perceiued their wickednes, and sayd, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
Nomba Yesu pakwishiba miyeyo yabo yaipa, nendi walabepusheti, “Inga mulanjelekeshelenga cani, amwe bantu bandemi shibili?
19 Shewe me the tribute money. And they brought him a peny.
Kamumboneshako lyali lyamusonko, nabo balamutambika lyali.”
20 And he sayde vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
Popelapo walabepusheti, “Inga cinso ne lina ili lyalembwapa nilyabani?”
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.
Balo balamukumbuleti, “byonse bilipo nibya Mwami waku Loma.” Neco nendi Yesu walabambileti, “Anu mupeni Mwami waku Loma bintu byakendi, Mupeni Lesa bintu byakendi.”
22 And when they heard it, they marueiled, and left him, and went their way.
Bantu abo mpolabanyumfweco balapwilwa mano, balafumapo ne kumushiya.
23 The same day the Sadduces came to him (which say that there is no resurrection) and asked him,
Pa busuba bopelobo nabambi Basaduki abo bakute kushometi bafwa nteti bakapunduke, balesa kuli Yesu, ne kumwipusheti,
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.
“Bashikwiyisha, Mose walambeti, ‘Na mutuloba ufwa kwakubula kusemapo bana, mukwabo welela kumupyana mukalubingi ne kusemenamo bana beti bakabengeti banabendi usa mukwabo walafwa.’
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.
Lino kucomwetu kwalikuba bantu basanu ne babili pabukwabo. Wakutanguna waleba mukashi, walafwa wabulapo mwana, mukashi usa walapyanwa ne mukwabo.
26 Likewise also the second, and the third, vnto the seuenth.
Calenshika cimo cimo kuli wacibili walamupyana, kayi wacitatu walamupyana, mpaka kuli wacisanu ne cibili.
27 And last of all the woman died also.
Pamapwililisho pakendi nendi mutukashi usa walafwa.
28 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seuen? for all had her.
Neco twambile inga lino pabusuba bwakupunduka bantu kubafu, mutukashi uyu, nakabe mukashi wabani, kakuli batuloba bonse basanu ne babili pabukwabo balamwebapo?”
29 Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Ye are deceiued, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Yesu walabakumbuleti, “Mwalubila, pakwinga nkamwayishi Mabala nambi ngofu sha Lesa.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marie wiues, nor wiues are bestowed in mariage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen.
Pakwinga bantu beti bakapunduke kubafu, nteti bakebenga nambi kwebwa sobwe, bonse nibakabengeti bangelo bakwilu.
31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, haue ye not read what is spoken vuto you of God, saying,
Nomba cakwambeti bantu nibakapunduke kubafu, sena muliya kubelengapo Lesa ncalamwambila amwe, mpwalambeti,
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.
‘Ame njame Lesa wa Abulahamu, Lesa wa Isake, Lesa wa Yakobo.’ Anu uko ekwambeti, ni Lesa wa bantu bayumi, nteshi wa bantu bafwa sobwe.”
33 And when the multitude heard it, they were astonied at his doctrine.
Bantu bangi balikubapo mpobalanyumfweco balakankamana ne kwiyisha kwakendi.
34 But when the Pharises had heard, that he had put the Sadduces to silence, they assembled together.
Bafalisi, mpobalanyumfweti Yesu, labatoteke Basaduki, balabungana pamo.
35 And one of them, which was an expounder of the Lawe, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
Umo nkalakata shikwiyisha milawo ya Mose, walelekesha kayi kumutapa Yesu mukanwa pakumwipusheti,
36 Master, which is ye great commandement in the Lawe?
“Bashikwiyisha, pa Milawo yonse ya Lesa, unenepo nupeyo?”
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.
Nendi Yesu walamukumbuleti, “Suna Mwami Lesa wakobe ne moyo wakobe wonse, ne buyumi bwakobe bonse, ne mano akobe onse.”
38 This is the first and the great commandement.
Uwu emulawo unene kayi emulawo wakutanguna.
39 And the second is like vnto this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
Mulawo watubili niwa kwambeti, “Kosuna munobe mbuli ncolisuni omwine.
40 On these two commandements hangeth the whole Lawe, and the Prophets.
Milawo yonse ya Mose, ne biyisho byonse mbyobalikwiyisha bashinshimi byona pa Milawo ibili iyi.”
41 While the Pharises were gathered together, Iesus asked them,
Mpobalabungana pamo Bafalisi, Yesu walabepusha mwipusho.
42 Saying, What thinke ye of Christ? whose sonne is he? They sayd vnto him, Dauids.
Walambeti, “mulayeyenga cani sha Mupulushi Walaiwa? Mulayeyengeti ni Mwana wabani?” Balo balambeti, “Ni mwanendi Dafeti,”
43 He sayd vnto them, How then doeth Dauid in spirit call him Lord, saying,
Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga ni pacebo cini Dafeti mwine pakutanguninwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, walamukuwa Mupulushi Walaiwa useti, Mwami wakendi? Walambeti,
44 The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole?
“Mwami Lesa, walambila Mwami wakameti, Ikala kucikasa cakame cakululyo, mpaka nkabike balwani bakobe, kuba cakulyatapo myendo yakobe.
45 If then Dauid call him Lord, howe is he his sonne?
“Na Dafeti mwine walamukuwa Mupulushi Walaiwa eti, ‘Lesa wakame,’ Inga ngobeconi mwanendi?”
46 And none could answere him a worde, neither durst any from that day foorth aske him any moe questions.
Paliya nabaumo walelekesha kukumbulapo maswi. Kufuma busuba ubo, paliya muntu walaliyuminishako moyo kwambeti, amwipusheko naba mwipusho umo.
