Mark 12
1 And He began to speak to them in allegories: “A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and dug a wine vat, and built a tower, and gave it out to farmers, and went abroad;
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 he sent to the farmers at the due time a servant, that from the farmers he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard,
Ekiseera ky’amakungula bwe kyatuuka, n’abatumira omuddu okufuna ebibala okuva mu nnimiro ey’emizabbibu.
3 and they, having taken him, severely 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 having cast stones at that one, they wounded [him] in the head, and sent [him] away—dishonored.
Nannyini nnimiro n’atuma omuddu we omulala, oyo ne bamukuba olubale, ne bamuswaza.
5 And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing.
Omubaka omulala gwe yatuma baamutta bussi, ate abalala be yazzaako okutuma, abamu baabakuba n’abalala ne babatta.
6 Having yet therefore one son—his beloved—he also sent him to them last, saying, They will respect 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 and those farmers said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and the inheritance will be ours;
“Naye abalimi abo ne bateesa bokka na bokka nti, Ono ye musika, mujje tumutte ebyobusika tubyesigalize!
8 and having taken him, they killed, and cast [him] forth outside 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 the farmers, 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 this Writing you did not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it became the head of a corner;
Temusomangako byawandiikibwa nti, “‘Ejjinja abazimbi lye baagaana, lye lifuuse ejjinja ekkulu ery’oku nsonda.
11 this was from the LORD, and it is wonderful in our eyes.”
Ekyo Mukama ye yakikola era kitwewuunyisa nnyo okukiraba.’”
12 And they were seeking to lay hold on Him, and they feared the multitude, for they knew that He spoke the allegory against them, and having left Him, they went away;
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 send to Him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may ensnare Him in discourse,
Ne bamuweereza abamu ku Bafalisaayo n’Abakerodiyaani boogere, bagezeeko okumutega mu bigambo.
14 and they having come, say to Him, “Teacher, we have known that You are true, and You are not caring for anyone, for You do not look to the face of men, but in truth teach the way of God; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? May we give, or may we not give?”
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 And He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you tempt Me? Bring Me a denarius, that I may see”;
Naye Yesu n’ategeera obunnanfuusi bwabwe n’abagamba nti, “Lwaki munkema. Mundeetere ensimbi ngirabe.”
16 and they brought, and He says to them, “Whose [is] this image, and the inscription?” And they said 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, “Give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God”; and they wondered at Him.
N’abagamba nti, “Kale ebintu bya Kayisaali mubiwenga Kayisaali n’ebya Katonda, mubiwenga Katonda!” Ne bamwewuunya nnyo.
18 And the Sadducees come to Him, who say there is not a resurrection, and they questioned Him, saying,
Awo Abasaddukaayo abagamba nti tewali kuzuukira, ne bamubuuza nti,
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if anyone’s brother may die, and may leave a wife, and may leave no children, that his brother may 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 There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed;
Waaliwo abooluganda musanvu, mukulu waabwe n’awasa, Oluvannyuma n’afa nga tazadde baana.
21 and the second took her, and died, not having left seed, 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 took her, and left no seed, last of all the woman also died;
Bonna omusanvu ne bafa ne baggwaawo. Oluvannyuma n’omukazi naye n’afa.
23 in the resurrection, then, whenever they may rise, of which of them will she be wife—for the seven had her as wife?”
Kale, mu kuzuukira kw’abafu omukazi oyo aliba muka ani, kubanga bonna yabafumbirwako?”
24 And Jesus answering said to them, “Do you not go astray because of this, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God?
Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Ekibaleetedde okukyama bwe butamanya byawandiikibwa, n’obutategeera maanyi ga Katonda.
25 For when they may rise out of the dead, they neither marry nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers who are in the heavens.
Kubanga bwe balizuukira mu bafu tebagenda kufumbiriganwa, kubanga bonna baliba nga bamalayika bwe bali mu ggulu.
26 And concerning the dead, that they rise: have you not read in the Scroll of Moses (at the bush), how 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 dead men, but a God of living men; you then go greatly astray.”
Katonda si Katonda w’abafu, wabula ow’abalamu. Mukyamye nnyo.”
28 And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them disputing, knowing that He answered them well, questioned Him, “Which is the first command 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 of all the commands—Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD is one;
Yesu n’amuddamu nti, “Ery’olubereberye lye lino nti, ‘Wulira, Isirayiri! Mukama Katonda waffe, Mukama ali omu yekka.
30 and you will love the LORD your God out of all your heart, and out of all your soul, and out of all your understanding, and out of all your strength—this [is] the first command;
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 [it], this, You will love your neighbor as yourself—there is no other command 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, Teacher, in truth You have spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He;
Omunnyonnyozi w’amateeka n’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza ekigambo ky’oyogedde kya mazima bw’ogambye nti waliwo Katonda omu yekka era teriiyo mulala.
33 and to love Him out of all the heart, and out of all the understanding, and out of all the soul, and out of all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as one’s self, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and the 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, having seen him that he answered with understanding, said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God”; and no one dared question Him anymore.
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 the Christ is 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 said in the Holy Spirit, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit on My right hand, Until I place Your enemies—Your 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 therefore David himself calls Him Lord, and from where is He his son?” And the great multitude were hearing Him gladly,
Dawudi yennyini amuyita Mukama we, ayinza atya ate okuba Omwana we?” Ekibiina kyalimu abantu bangi, ne bamuwuliriza n’essanyu.
38 and He was saying to them in His teaching, “Beware of the scribes who will to walk in long robes, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
Awo Yesu n’ayigiriza ng’agamba nti, “Mwekuume abannyonnyozi b’amateeka, kubanga baagala nnyo okwambala ne batambulatambula mu butale ng’abantu babalamusa.
39 and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches at the banquets,
Baagala nnyo okutuula mu bifo ebisinga obulungi mu makuŋŋaaniro, n’okutuula mu bifo eby’ekitiibwa ku mbaga.
40 who are devouring the widows’ houses, and for a pretense are making long prayers; these will receive more abundant judgment.”
Kyokka, banyagako bannamwandu ebintu byabwe, ne beeraga nga basaba esaala empanvu ennyo. Ekibonerezo kyabwe kyekiriva kibeera ekinene ddala.”
41 And Jesus having sat down opposite the treasury, was beholding how the multitude puts brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting 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 having come, a poor widow put in two mites, which are a penny.
Awo nnamwandu eyali omwavu n’ajja n’ateekamu ebitundu bibiri, ye kodulante.
43 And having called near His disciples, He says to them, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those putting 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, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, put in all that she had—all her living.”
Kubanga bonna bataddemu ku bibafikkiridde, naye ate nnamwandu ono mu kwetaaga kwe ataddemu kyonna ky’abadde nakyo, ekibadde kijja okumuyamba obulamu bwe bwonna.”
