Mark 12
1 AND he began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and digged a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
Mgbe ahụ, ọ bidoro ịgwa ndị ahụ okwu nʼilu sị, “Otu nwoke kụrụ mkpụrụ vaịnị nʼubi ya, jiri mgbidi gbaa ubi ahụ gburugburu. O gwuru ebe ịnara mmanya si na mkpụrụ vaịnị, wuokwa ụlọ elu. Mgbe o mesịrị, o nyefere ubi vaịnị ahụ nʼaka ndị ọrụ ubi ilekọta ya ma gaa obodo ọzọ.
2 And in the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
Mgbe oge ịghọ mkpụrụ ruru, o zipụrụ otu onye ohu ya ka o jekwuru ndị na-elekọta ubi ahụ, nata ha ụfọdụ nʼime mkpụrụ vaịnị ahụ.
3 But they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
Ma ha jidere ya tie ya ihe, zilaga ya nʼaka efu.
4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and they cut the account short with him, by stoning him, and sent him away shamefully treated.
Emesịkwa, o zigakwara onye ohu ọzọ. Ma ha tiwara ya isi, mee ya ihe ihere.
5 And again he sent another; and him, they slew; and many others, some of whom they beat, and others they killed.
O zigakwara onye ọzọ, ma ha gburu ya. O zigakwara ọtụtụ ndị ozi, ma ha gburu ụfọdụ, tie ndị ọzọ ihe.
6 Now he had yet one son, his beloved, and he sent him unto them last, saying, They will reverence my son.
“O nwere naanị otu onye ọzọ fọdụrụ nke ọ ga-eziga, nke bụ ọkpara ya ọ hụrụ nʼanya. Nʼikpeazụ o zigara ya, buru nʼuche na ha ga-asọpụrụ ọkpara ya.
7 But these husbandmen said to each other, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own.
“Ma ndị na-elekọta ubi ahụ sịrịtara onwe ha, ‘Onye a bụ onye nketa ihe niile a. Bịanụ ka anyị gbuo ya, ka ihe nketa a bụrụzia nke anyị.’
8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
Ha jidere ya gbuo ya, tufee ozu ya nʼazụ mgbidi ubi vaịnị ahụ.
9 What then will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and give his vineyard to others.
“Gịnị ka unu chere onyenwe ubi vaịnị ahụ ga-eme? Ọ ga-abịa laa ndị ajọ mmadụ ahụ nʼiyi. Ọ ga-enyefekwa ubi vaịnị ahụ nʼaka ndị ọzọ.
10 Have ye never read this scripture? “The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner:
Ọ bụ na unu agụbeghị akwụkwọ nsọ a na-asị, “‘Nkume ndị na-ewu ụlọ jụrụ abụrụla nkume isi ntọala ụlọ.
11 this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes.”
Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị rụrụ nke a, ọ dịkwa ịtụnanya nʼanya anyị’?”
12 And they sought to seize him, and were afraid of the people: for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them: and leaving him, they departed.
Mgbe ahụ ndịisi nchụaja, ndị nkuzi iwu na ndị okenye chọrọ ụzọ ha ga-esi jide ya nʼihi na ha matara na ilu ahụ ọ tụrụ megidere ha. Ma ha tụrụ egwu igwe ndị mmadụ ahụ, ya mere ha hapụrụ ya pụọ.
13 And they sent unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might entrap him in discourse.
Emesịa, ha zigara ụfọdụ mmadụ site nʼotu ndị Farisii na ndị otu Herọd, ile ma ha ga-esite nʼokwu ọnụ ya jide ya.
14 And they come and say to him, Master, we know that thou art true, 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 pay tribute to Caesar, or not?
Ha bịakwutere ya, sị ya, “Onye ozizi, anyị maara na ị bụ onye eziokwu, ị dịghị asọkwa onye ọbụla anya, nʼihi na ị dịghị ele mmadụ anya nʼihu nʼagbanyeghị ndị ha bụ, kama ị na-ezi ụzọ Chineke nʼụzọ eziokwu. O ziri ezi nʼiwu ịtụ ụtụ nye Siza ka ọ bụ na o zighị ezi?
15 shall we pay, or shall we not pay it? but he, perceiving their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
Anyị kwesiri ịkwụ ya ka ọ bụ anyị ekwesighị?” Ma ebe ọ maara ihu abụọ ha, ya mere ọ sịrị ha, “Gịnị mere unu ji anwa m ọnwụnwa? Wetaranụ m otu mkpụrụ ego ka m lee ya anya.”
16 And they brought it. And he said unto them, Whose figure and inscription is this? they say unto him, Caesar’s.
Ha wepụtara otu mkpụrụ ego, Ọ sịrị, “Onye nwe onyinyo a? Aha onye ka e bikwasịrị nʼego a?” Ha zara sị, “Ọ bụ nke Siza.”
17 And Jesus addressing them, said, Render the things which are Caesar’s, to Caesar; and what belongs to God, to God. And they marvelled at him.
Mgbe ahụ Jisọs gwara ha sị, “Nyenụ Siza ihe bụ nke ya, nyekwanụ Chineke ihe bụ nke ya.” Ọsịsa ya jụkwara ha anya.
18 And the Sadducees come to him, who say that there is no resurrection; and they put a question to him, saying,
Ụfọdụ ndị Sadusii bụ ndị sịrị na mbilite nʼọnwụ adịghị bịakwutere ya jụọ ya sị,
19 Master, Moses left it in writing for us, that if a man’s brother die, and leave a wife, and leave no children; that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.
“Onye ozizi, Mosis nyere anyị iwu na ọ bụrụ na nwoke ọbụla anwụọ na-amụtaghị nwa, na nwanne ya nwoke ga-alụrụ nwunye nwoke ahụ, mụta ụmụ nʼaha nwanne ya nwoke ahụ nwụrụ anwụ.
20 Now there were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and dying left no issue:
Ugbu a, e nwere ụmụnne nwoke asaa, nke mbụ lụrụ nwunye ma ọ nwụrụ na-amụtaghị ụmụ ọbụla.
21 and the second took her, and died, and neither did he leave issue; and the third in like manner.
Nke abụọ lụrụ nwanyị ahụ di ya nwụrụ, ma ya onwe ya nwụkwara na-amụtaghị nwa.
22 And the seven had her, and left no issue. Last of all died also the wife.
Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nʼetiti ha asaa mụtara nwa ọbụla, nʼikpeazụ nwanyị ahụ nwụkwara.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife of them shall she be? for the seven had the very same wife.
Nʼoge mbilite nʼọnwụ, nwunye onye ka ọ ga-abụ, ebe ụmụnne asaa ndị a lụtụchara ya?”
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, from not knowing the scriptures, and the power of God?
Jisọs zara ha sị, “Ọ bụ na unu adịghị ejehie ụzọ nʼihi na unu aghọtaghị ihe e dere nʼakwụkwọ nsọ, maọbụ ike Chineke?
25 For when they rise from the dead, they will neither marry, nor be given in marriage; but they are as the angels which are in heaven.
Mgbe ha ga-esite nʼọnwụ bilie, ọlụlụ di na nwunye agaghị a dị; kama ha ga-adị ka ndị mmụọ ozi nʼeluigwe.
26 But concerning the dead, that they do rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how God spake to him at the bush, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
Ma nʼokwu banyere ndị nwụrụ anwụ isite nʼọnwụ bilie, ọ bụ na unu agụtabeghị nʼakwụkwọ Mosis ebe e dere maka ọhịa ahụ na-ere ọkụ, na otu Chineke si gwa ya, Abụ m Chineke Ebraham, Chineke nke Aịzik na Chineke nke Jekọb.
27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. Ye are therefore vastly erroneous.
Ọ bụghị Chineke nke ndị nwụrụ anwụ kama nke ndị dị ndụ. Nʼebe ahụ ka unu dahiere nke ukwuu.”
28 And one of the scribes coming, and hearing them questioning him, perceiving that he had answered them admirably, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
Otu nʼime ndị ozizi iwu bịara nʼoge ahụ ha na-arụrịta ụka. Mgbe ọ hụrụ na o nyere ha ezi ọsịsa, ọ jụrụ ya sị, “Nʼime iwu niile olee nke kachasị mkpa?”
29 Then Jesus replied to him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear O Israel; the Lord thy God is one Lord:
Jisọs zara ya sị, “Nke kachasị mkpa bụ nke a, ‘Nụrụ gị Izrel, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị, Onyenwe anyị bụ otu.
30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment.
Were obi gị niile na mkpụrụobi gị niile na uche gị niile na ike gị niile hụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị nʼanya.’
31 And the second, like it, is this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: there is no greater commandment than these.
Nke abụọ ya bụ nke a, ‘Hụ onye agbataobi gị nʼanya dị ka onwe gị.’Ọ dịghị iwu ọzọ dị nke karịrị ndị a.”
32 And the scribe said unto him, Admirably, Master! thou hast spoken the very truth: for there is one God; and there is no other besides him:
Onye ode akwụkwọ ahụ sịrị ya, “Onye ozizi, nʼezie, ị zara nke ọma na Chineke bụ otu, na enweghịkwa chi ọzọ dị karịa ya.
33 and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength; and to love his neighbour as himself, is better than all burnt offerings, and sacrifices.
Ịhụ ya nʼanya site nʼiji obi gị niile, na nghọta gị niile, nakwa iji ike gị niile, nʼịhụkwa onye agbataobi gị nʼanya dị ka onwe gị, kachasị onyinye aja nsure ọkụ na ịchụ aja niile.”
34 And Jesus perceiving that he had answered as a man of intelligence, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man thenceforth presumed to question him.
Mgbe Jisọs hụrụ na ọ zara nke ọma, ọ gwara ya sị, “Ị nọ alaeze Chineke nso.” Site na mgbe ahụ ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla nwere obi ike ịjụ ya ajụjụ ọzọ.
35 And Jesus addressing them said, as he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that the Messiah is the Son of David?
Mgbe Jisọs nọ na-ezi ihe nʼụlọnsọ, ọ kwuru sị, “Gịnị mere ndị ozizi iwu ji sị na Kraịst bụ nwa Devid?
36 for David himself saith by the Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy enemies the foot-stool for thy feet.
Devid nʼonwe ya sitere nʼike Mmụọ Nsọ kwuo sị, “‘Onyenwe anyị gwara Onyenwe m okwu sị, “Nọdụ ala nʼaka nri m ruo mgbe m ga-edebe ndị iro gị nʼokpuru ụkwụ gị abụọ.”’
37 David himself therefore calleth him Lord; and whence then is he his son? And a vast multitude heard him with delight.
Devid nʼonwe ya kpọrọ ya Onyenwe anyị. Oleekwanụ ụzọ o si bụrụ nwa ya?” Igwe mmadụ ahụ jiri obi ụtọ na-ege ya ntị.
38 And he spake to them in the course of his teaching, Beware of the scribes, who love to go about in trailing robes, and like salutations in the places of concourse,
Dịka ọ na-ezi ihe, ọ siri, “Lezienụ anya nʼebe ndị ozizi iwu nọ. Ndị iyi uwe mwụda na-ejegharị ebe niile na-amasị, na ịnara ekele pụrụ iche bụ nke a na-ekele ha nʼọma ahịa.
39 and the principal seats in the synagogues, and the first couch at suppers:
Ndị ọ na-amasịkwa ịnọkwasị nʼoche kachasị elu nʼụlọ ekpere nakwa nʼoche pụrụ iche na mmemme oriri ọbụla.
40 who devour widows’ houses, and in pretence make long prayers: such shall receive greater damnation.
Ha na-eripịa ihe niile dị nʼụlọ ndị inyom ndị di ha nwụrụ anwụ, nʼekpe ogologo ekpere ka a hụta ha. Ndị dị otu a ka a ga-ata ahụhụ dị ukwuu.”
41 And as Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, he saw a multitude casting money into the treasury: and many who were rich cast in many pieces.
Ọ nọdụrụ ala na ncherita ihu ebe igbe onyinye dị, sị ebe ahụ na-ahụ otu igwe mmadụ ahụ si etinye ego ha nʼime igbe onyinye. Ọtụtụ ndị ọgaranya tụnyere ego buru ibu.
42 And one poor widow coming, cast in two mites, which is a farthing.
Otu nwanyị bụ ogbenye, nke di ya nwụrụ anwụ, bịara tinye mkpụrụ ego ọla abụọ nke pụtara otu peni.
43 And having called his disciples, he said unto them, I tell you truly, that this poor widow hath cast in more than all who have cast into the treasury:
Ọ kpọrọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya sị ha, “Nʼezie agwa m unu, nwanyị a di ya nwụrụ anwụ, bụkwa ogbenye, etinyela ego nʼime igbe onyinye a karịa ndị ọzọ.
44 for all they have cast in of their superfluities; but she from her indigence hath cast in all that she had, even her whole substance.
Nʼihi na ndị ọzọ sitere nʼịba ụba nke ego ha nwere tinye, ma nwanyị a sitere nʼogbenye ya tinye ihe niile o nwere, ọ bụladị ihe niile o ji biri.”
