Matthew 22
1 And Jesus answering, again spoke to them in allegories, saying,
Yesu katakuliti nawomberi kayi kwa mfanu.
2 “The kingdom of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made wedding feasts for his son,
“Ufalumi wa kumpindi ulifana ntambu ayi. Kuweriti na mfalumi yakamtandiriti mwana gwakuwi mpalu msambu gwa ndowa.
3 and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the wedding feasts, and they were not willing to come.
Su, kawatumiti wantumintumi wakuwi wakawashemi walii yawashemiritwi wizi kumsambu, kumbiti walii yawashemiritwi walemiti kwiza.
4 Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those who have been called: Behold, I prepared my early meal, my oxen and the fatlings have been killed, and all things [are] ready, come to the wedding feasts;
Kawatuma kayi wantumintumi wamonga, pakatakula, ‘Muwagambiri yawawashemiriti kuwera msambu gwangu vinu gwa kala, wang'ombi wangu na wandama waherepa wawalikitula kala. Shila shintu shiwera kala, su mwizi mumsambu gwa ndowa!’
5 and they, having disregarded [it], went away, one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise;
Kumbiti wahenga yawashemiritwi walishera ndiri, su wendereyiti na vitwatira vyawu, yumu kagenditi kulirambu kwakuwi na yumonga kagenditi kutenda biyashala yakuwi,
6 and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, mistreated and slew [them].
na wamonga wawakamula wantumintumi walii, wawakomanga na kuwalaga.
7 And the king having heard, was angry, and having sent forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their city he set on fire;
Mfalumi ulii kakalariti nentu, su kawatuma wanjagila wakuwi wakawalagi woseri yawatenditi hangu na kapambira motu lushi zyawu.
8 then he says to his servants, The wedding feast indeed is ready, and those called were not worthy,
Shakapanu kawagambira wantumintumi wakuwi, ‘Msambu gwa ndowa gwa kala, kumbiti yawashemiritwi walema kwiza.
9 be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as you may find, call to the wedding feasts.
Vinu mgendi munjira pamwawona wantu woseri mwashemi wizi mumsambu gwa ndowa.’
10 And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, gathered all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the wedding was filled with those reclining.
Su wantumintumi walii wawuka na wagenda munjira, wawashemera wantu woseri yawawoniti, wadoda na waheri, numba yoseri ya msambu ivuwiti wahenga.
11 And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw there a man not clothed with wedding clothes,
“Mfalumi pakayingiriti kuwalola wahenga, kamwona muntu kavala ndiri nguwu ya ndowa.
12 and he says to him, Friend, how did you come in here, not having wedding clothes? And he was speechless.
Mfalumi kamkosiya, ‘Ganja, gwingira hashi panu pota kuvala nguwu ya ndowa?’ Kumbiti yomberi kawankula ndiri.
13 Then the king said to the servants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him up and cast forth into the outer darkness, there will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth;
Palaa palii mfalumi kawagambira wantumintumi, ‘Mumtawi magulu na mawoku, mwakamwasi kunja muntiti. Aku hakalili na kugayagaya menu gakuwi.’”
14 for many are called, and few chosen.”
Na Yesu kamalira kwa kutakula, “Yawashemiritwi wavuwa, kumbiti yawasyagulitwi ndo wadidini.”
15 Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare Him in words,
Shakapanu Mafalisayu wagenda zawu na wapangiti ntambu ya kumgomiziya Yesu kwa visoweru vyakuwi.
16 and they send to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we have known that You are true, and the way of God in truth You teach, and You are not caring for anyone, for You do not look to the face of men;
Su, womberi wawatuma wafundwa wawu pamuhera na wantumini wa shipinga sha Herodi kugenda kwa Yesu. Womberi walonga, “mfunda, tuvimana handa gwenga gutakula nakaka. Gwenga gufunda nakaka kuusu mafiliru ga Mlungu kwa wantu, gutira ndiri shawalihola wamonga, toziya gulishera ndiri ukulu wa muntu.
17 tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?”
Su, gutugambiri, gwenga gulihola shishi? Lagaliru ama lagaliru ndiri kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari?”
18 And Jesus having known their wickedness, said, “Why do you tempt Me, hypocrites?
Kumbiti Yesu kavimana ukondola wawu yawalihola, su kawagambira, “Mwawafyangu mwenga! Iwera hashi mwankujera kungomiziya?
19 Show Me the tribute-coin.” And they brought to Him a denarius;
Munanguziyi mpiya zya kulipira kodi!” Womberi wamlavilira ligwala lya mpiya,
20 and He says to them, “Whose [is] this image and the inscription?”
na Yesu kawakosiya, “Sheni na malembu aga mumpiya ga gaa?”
21 They say to Him, “Caesar’s”; then He says to them, “Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God”;
Womberi wamwankula, “Ga mfalumi gwa Rumi.” Su Yesu kawagambira, “Mumpanani Kaisari vyaviwera vya Kaisari na mumpanani Mlungu vyaviwera vya Mlungu.”
22 and having heard they wondered, and having left Him they went away.
Pawapikaniriti hangu, walikangasha na wamleka wagenditi zawu.
23 In that day there came near to Him Sadducees who are saying there is not a resurrection, and they questioned Him, saying,
Lishaka liraa lilii, Masadukayu wamu ndo yawatakulaga wantu yawahowiti hapeni wazyuki, wamgenderiti Yesu.
24 “Teacher, Moses said if anyone may die having no children, his brother will marry his wife, and will raise up seed to his brother.
Su wamgambira, “mfunda, Musa katakuriti kuwera muntu yakayugiti pakahowa pota kuleka mwana, ndo mlongu gwakuwi kamyugi mdala mkenja uliya, su kamleleri wana mlongu gwakuwi yakahowiti.
25 And there were with us seven brothers, and the first having married died, and having no seed, he left his wife to his brother;
Vinu petu panu, paweriti na walongu saba. Mlongu mkulu kayugiti mdala na kahowiti pota kupata mwana, su mlongu gwakuwi kamuhala mkenja ulii.
26 in like manner also the second, and the third, to the seventh,
Iwera ntambu ira kwa mlongu gwa pili na gwa tatu mpaka kwa woseri saba.
27 and last of all the woman also died;
Lupeleru na mdala uliya kahowiti viraa.
28 therefore in the resurrection, of which of the seven will she be wife—for all had her?”
Vinu, mulishaka lya kuzyuka kwa yawahowiti, hashi, mdala ayu hakaweri mdala gwa gaa? Toziya mkenja ayu kaweriti mdala wa walongu woseri saba.”
29 And Jesus answering said to them, “You go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God;
Yesu kawankula, “Mwenga mwagamila nakaka! Mwagamila toziya mgamana ndiri Malembu Mananagala ama makakala ga Mlungu.
30 for in the resurrection they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in Heaven.
Toziya yawahowiti pawazyuka, hawalifani gambira wantumintumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu na wantu hapeni wayugi ama kuyugwa.
31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, did you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
Kumbiti kuusu kuzyuka kwa yawahowiti, hashi, hamwenibetuli galaa Mlungu gakawagambiriti? Mlungu kawagambiriti,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.”
‘Neni ndo Mlungu gwa Aburahamu, ndo Mlungu gwa Isaka, ndo Mlungu gwa Yakobu!’ Yomberi Mlungu gwa wahowiti ndiri, ira Mlungu gwa wakomu.”
33 And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at His teaching;
Lipinga lya wantu palipikaniriti hangu walikangasha mafundu gakuwi.
34 and the Pharisees, having heard that He silenced the Sadducees, were gathered together to Him;
Mafalisayu pawapikaniriti handa Yesu kawawankula Masadukayu mpaka wasinditi kumkosiya kayi, su womberi waliwoniti pamuhera.
35 and one of them, a lawyer, questioned, tempting Him, and saying,
Yumu gwawu, mfunda gwa Malagaliru, kamkosiya Yesu kwa kufira kumgomiziya,
36 “Teacher, which [is] the great command in the Law?”
“mfunda, lilagaliru lyoshi ndo likulu Mumalagaliru?”
37 And Jesus said to him, “You will love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your understanding—
Yesu kamwankula, “Gumfiri Mtuwa Mlungu gwaku kwa moyu gwaku gwoseri, kwa rohu yaku yoseri na kwa mahala gaku goseri.”
38 this is a first and great command;
Ali ndo lilagaliru likulu lya kwanja.
39 and the second [is] like to it: You will love your neighbor as yourself;
Na lya pili lilifana na ali, “Gumfiri gwapakwegera gwaku ntambu yagulifira gumweni.”
40 on these—the two commands—all the Law and the Prophets hang.”
Malagaliru goseri ga Musa na malembu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu gankulitumbira malagaliru mawili aga.
41 And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus questioned them,
Mafalisayu pawaweriti pamuhera, Yesu kawakosiiti,
42 saying, “What do you think concerning the Christ? Of whom is He Son?” They say to Him, “Of David.”
“Mwenga mulihola hashi kuusu Kristu Mlopoziya? Hashi, yomberi ndo gwa shiyiwuku shagaa?” Wamwankula, “Shiyiwuku sha Dawudi.”
43 He says to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him Lord, saying,
Yesu kawagambira, “Su, iwezekana hashi kwa likakala lya Rohu Mnanagala Dawudi kamshemi yomberi ‘Mtuwa’? Dawudi katakuliti,
44 The LORD said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?
‘Mtuwa kamgambiriti Mtuwa gwangu, Gulivagi uwega waneni wa kumliwu, Mpaka nuwatuli wangondu waku pasi pa magulu gaku.’
45 If then David calls Him Lord, how is He his son?”
Payiwera Dawudi kamshemiti yomberi ‘Mtuwa,’ su iwezakana hashi kuwera Kristu ndo gwa shiyiwuku sha Dawudi?”
46 And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did any dare question Him from that day [on].
Kwahera muntu yoseri yakaweziti kumwankula Yesu na kwanjira lishaka lilii kwahera yakajeriti kayi kukosiya shoseri.
