Matthew 22
1 Yeshua answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,
Che Yesu ŵaŵechetenawo sooni kwa itagu achitiji,
2 "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
“Umwenye wa kwinani ulandene ni mwenye jumpepe juŵantendele mwanagwe chindimba cha chakulya cha ulombela.
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.
Nipele ŵatumile achikapolo ŵao kukwaŵilanga ŵaalaliche kwika ku ulombela, nambo ŵakanile kwika.
4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "Look, I have made ready my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage feast."'
Ŵaatumile sooni achikapolo ŵane, achitiji, ‘Mwasalile ŵalalichikwe ŵala kuti, jwammale kolosya yakulya yangu, sikite ng'ombe jangu ja nkambaku ni ng'ombe sine syakunakana, inayose ili chile, njise ku ulombela.’
5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,
Nambo ŵandu ŵala ŵakanile kwika, ŵajawile, jumo ku ngunda wakwe, ni jwine ku masengo gakwe,
6 and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
ni ŵane ŵaakamwile achikapolo ŵala ŵaputile ni ŵane kwaulaga.
7 The king was enraged, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
Mwenye jula ŵatumbile, ŵaatumile ŵandu ŵangondo ŵao kuti akaaulaje ŵakuulaga ŵala ni kuchoma mooto musi wao.
8 "Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren't worthy.
Nipele ŵaasalile achikapolo ŵao, ‘Ulombela uli chile, nambo unalaliche ŵala nganaŵajilwa.
9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.'
Nipele njaule mmalekano ni ŵanawose uchinkaasimane, nkaaŵilanje aichanje ku chindimba cha chakulya cha ulombela.’
10 And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all they found, both bad and good, and the wedding was filled with those reclining.
Achikapolo ŵao ŵala ŵatyosile, ŵajawile mmatala, ŵaichenawo wose uŵasimene nawo, ŵangalumbana ni ŵambone. Nyuumba ja ulombela jagumbele achalendo.
11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on wedding clothing,
“Nambo paŵajinjile mwenye ku kwalola achalendo, ŵammweni mundu jumo jwanganatakula nguo sya ulombela.
12 and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.
Mwenye ŵammusisye, ‘Ambusanga, njinjile chinauli, nomwe nganinkola nguo sya ulombela?’ Nambo ŵelewo ŵamyalele.
13 Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.'
Nipele, mwenye ŵaasalile achikatumetume ŵao, ‘Muntaŵe makongolo ni makono, mkamponye paasa ku chipi, kweleko chakalile ni kuchilimya meeno.’”
14 For many are called, but few chosen."
Che Yesu ŵamalichisye achitiji, “Ŵajinji ŵakuŵilanjikwa, nambo ŵasagulikwe nganatupa.”
15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.
Nipele, Mafalisayo ŵajawile, ŵajilene itajile pa kwatanjisya Che Yesu kwa maloŵe gao.
16 They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you are not partial to anyone.
Nipele, ŵaatumile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵa mumpingo u che Helode ku Che Yesu. Ŵausisye achitiji, “Jwakwiganya, tukumanyilila kuti mmwe ndi mundu jwakulupilichika, nkwiganya litala lya Akunnungu kwa usyene, pangaganisya ŵandu akusala chichi, pakuŵa ngankulola ukulu wa mundu.
17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
Sambano, ntusalile, nkuganisya ichichi? Uli ili yambone kulipa nsongo kwa mwenye jwankulu jwa ku Loma pane akuŵilanjikwa che Kaisali, pane tunalipe?”
18 But Yeshua perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you test me, you hypocrites?
Nambo Che Yesu ŵaumanyilile nningwa wao wangalumbana, ŵaasalile, “Kwachichi nkuuninga, ŵanyamwe ŵaulamba?
19 Show me the tax money." They brought to him a denura.
Munosye mbiya ja kulipila nsongo.” Nombewo ŵaiche nawo likobili.
20 He asked them, "Whose is this image and inscription?"
Nipele, Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Aku ku meeso ku ni liina li ya ŵaani?”
21 They said to him, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
Ŵajanjile, “Che Kaisali.” Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵanyawo kuti, “Nipele, i che Kaisali mwapeje che Kaisali, ni ya Akunnungu mwapeje Akunnungu.”
22 When they heard it, they were astonished, and left him, and went away.
Paŵagapilikene gele ŵasimosile, ŵalesile, ŵajawile.
23 On that day Sadducees came to him, the ones saying that there is no resurrection. And they asked him,
Lye lyuŵa lyo, Masadukayo ŵane ŵakuti ngapagwa kusyuka ŵaichilile Che Yesu,
24 saying, "Teacher, Mushe said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother is to marry his wife, and raise up offspring for his brother.'
nipele, ŵausisye, “Jwakwiganya, che Musa ŵatite mundu jwalombele awaga pangaleka ŵanache, ikusachilwa mpwakwe annombele jwankongwe jwawililwe ni ŵankwakwe, kuti ammelechele ŵanache nkulugwe.
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
Nipele, pa musi petu pano ŵapali ŵandu saba ŵaŵapagwile lutumbo lumo. Jwaandanda jo ŵalombele ni ŵawile pangali ŵanache, ni mpwakwe ŵannombile jwankongwe jula.
26 In like manner the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
Iyoyo yaliji kwa jwaaŵili jula ni jwaatatu ni mpaka ŵanawose saba.
27 After them all, the woman died.
Paŵamasile kuwa ŵanawose saba, jwankongwe jula ŵawile.
28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her."
Nambi, pa lyuŵa lya kusyuka jwele jwankongwe chaŵe jwa ŵaani mwa ŵele saba wo? Pakuŵa wose saba ŵannombile.”
29 But Yeshua answered them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile ŵanyawo, “Ŵanyamwe nkosele pakuŵa ngankugamanyilila Malembelo ga Akunnungu atamuno ukombole wa Akunnungu.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven.
Pakuŵa pachachisyuka ŵawe ngalombela atamuno kulombwa, chaaŵe mpela achikatumetume ŵa kwinani.
31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
Nambo yankati kusyuka kwa ŵawe, uli, nganinsyoma aila iŵansalile Akunnungu? Ŵansalile,
32 'I am the God of Avraham, and the God of Iskhaq, and the God of Yaquv?' God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
‘Une ndili Akunnungu ŵa che Iblahimu ni Akunnungu ŵa che Isaka ni Akunnungu ŵa che Yakobo.’ Nipele ŵele nganaŵa Akunnungu ŵa ŵawe, nambo ŵa ŵajumi.”
33 When the crowds heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
Mpingo wa ŵandu ula paŵapilikene yeleyo, ŵagasimosile majiganyo gao.
34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
Mafalisayo paŵapilikene kuti Che Yesu ŵamyalesye Masadukayo, ŵasongangene pamo.
35 One of them, a Law scholar, asked him a question, testing him.
Jumo jwao, ŵakwiganya malajisyo, ŵausisye Che Yesu achalingaga kuti,
36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?"
“Jwakwiganya, likanyo chi lyalili lyekulungwa mu Malajisyo?”
37 He said to him, "'You are to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
Che Yesu ŵanjanjile, “‘Mwanonyele Ambuje Akunnungu ŵenu ni ntima wenu wose ni mbumu jenu jose ni lunda lwenu lose.’
38 This is the great and first commandment.
Alili ni likanyo lyekulungwa ni lyaandanda.
39 A second likewise is this, 'You are to love your neighbor as yourself.'
Ni lyaaŵili lyalikulandana ni lyele, lili, ‘Munnonyele njenu mpela yankuti pakulinonyela mwasyene.’
40 The whole Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments."
Malajisyo gose ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ni majiganyo ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu gakukulupilila ge makanyo gaŵili ga.”
41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Yeshua asked them a question,
Paŵasongangene pamo Mafalisayo, Che Yesu ŵausisye,
42 saying, "What do you think of the Meshikha? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "Of Dawid."
“Ŵanyamwe nkuganisya uli yankati Kilisito? Uli ali mwanagwao ŵaani?” Ŵajanjile, “Ŵa che Daudi.”
43 He said to them, "How then does Dawid in the Rukha call him Lord, saying,
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Nipele, kwachichi che Daudi kwa ukombole wa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akwaŵilanga Ambuje? Pakuŵa ŵatite,
44 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet'?
‘Ambuje ŵaasalile Ambuje ŵangu, ntame kundyo, mpaka pachinaaŵiche ŵammagongo ŵenu paasi pa makongolo genu.’
45 "If then Dawid calls him Lord, how is he his son?"
Nipele, iŵaga che Daudi akwaŵilanga Kilisito ‘Ambuje’ ikukomboleka chinauli kuti ali mwanagwao?”
46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did anyone dare ask him any more questions from that day forth.
Ngapagwa mundu jwalijose juŵakombwele kwanga. Chitandile lyuŵa lyo ngapagwa juŵalinjile sooni kummusya.
