Mark 12
1 Jesus began to speak to them in parables, “A man once planted a vineyard, put a fence around it, dug a wine-press, built a tower, and then let it out to tenants and went abroad.
Bhai, a Yeshu gubhatandwibhe bheleketa nabhonji kwa ndango. “Bhandu bhamo bhashinkulima nngunda gwa mishabhibhu. Gubhashenjele ubhigo, gubhaolile liimbo lya minyila shabhibhu, nishenga na nnala. Gubhaapelenje ngunda gula bhaalimanga, nkupinga bhalipilanje, gubhapite mmwanja.
2 At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants, to receive from them a share of the produce of the grape harvest;
Miongwe ja maneng'eno jikaishileje, gubhantumile ntumwa jwabho kubhaalima, akatole shabhibhu ya mauno gabho.
3 but they seized him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
Bhai bhaalimanga bhala gubhankamwilenje ntumwa jula, gubhankomilenje, nigubhamminjilenje gwangali shindu.
4 A second time the owner sent a servant to them; this man, too, the tenants struck on the head, and insulted.
Bhayene nngunda gubhantumile kabhili ntumwa juna, nkali jwenejo gubhanng'uleyenje muntwe, gubhampentekuyenje.
5 He sent another, but him they killed; and so with many others – some they beat and some they killed.
Gubhantumile juna, naka jwenejo gubhammulegenje. Bhayene nngunda gubhaatumilenje bhananji bhabhagwinji, bhana bhashinkwaakomanga na bhananji gubhaabhulegenje.
6 He had still one son, who was very dear to him; and him he sent to them last of all. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
Bhai gwalepeshe jumope, mwanagwabho jwa jika jubhammpingaga. Kungai gubhantumile jwenejo bhalinkuti, ‘Shibhannjogopanje mwanangu.’
7 But those tenants said to one another ‘Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and his inheritance will be ours.’
Ikabheje bhaalimanga bhala, gubhabhalanjilenenje kuti, ‘Jweneju apinga tola ulishi, bhai tummulaje nkupinga ulishigo, ubhe gwetu!’
8 So they seized him, and killed him, and threw his body outside the vineyard.
Bhai gubhankamwilenje, nikummulaga, gubhannjailenje kunyenje nngunda gwa mishabhibhu gula.”
9 What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and put the tenants to death, and he will let the vineyard to others.
“Bhai bhayene ngunda shibhatende nndi? Shibhaishe nikwabhulaganga bhaalimanga bhala, na nngunda gula nikwapanganga bhandu bhana.
10 “Have you never read this passage of scripture? – ‘The stone which the builders despised has now itself become the cornerstone;
Bhuli nkanabheshomanga yenei Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo? Kuti, ‘Liganga libhalikanilenje bhaashenganga, Nnaino lishibha liganga likulu lya pa ndumba.
11 this cornerstone has come from the Lord, and is marvelous in our eyes.’”
Lyeneli bhatendile Bhakulungwa, Na kunngwetu uwe lya lapa.’”
12 After this his enemies were eager to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd; for they saw that it was at them that he had aimed the parable. So they left him alone, and went away.
Bhai bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila, gubhapinjilenje kwaakamula, pabha bhamumanyinji kuti lwene lutangolo, lwaalugulangaga bhalabhonji. Ikabheje gubhajogopenje lugwinjili lwa bhandu. Bhai gubhaaleshilenje, gubhajabhulengene.
13 Afterward they sent to Jesus some of the Pharisees and Herodians, to set a trap for him in the course of conversation.
Bhai, Mapalishayo bhananji na bhandunji bha a Elode, gubhatumilwenje bhakaateganje a Yeshu, kwa malobhe gabho.
14 These men came to him and said, “Teacher, we know that you are an honest man, and are not afraid of anyone, for you pay no regard to a person’s position, but teach the way of God honestly; are we right in paying taxes to the Emperor, or not?
Bhakaikangananjeje gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmajiganya, tumumanyi kuti mmwe mmanguja, na gunkubheleketa ga kweli, na mmangali luagu, ikabhe nnajiganya ya kweli, ya mpanda gwa a Nnungu. Bhuli, ilipinjikwa kulipa koli kwa a Kaishali eu nng'oo? Twaape koli eu tunape.”
15 Should we pay, or should we not pay?” Knowing their hypocrisy, Jesus said to them, “Why are you testing me? Bring me a coin to look at.”
Ikabheje a Yeshu bhagumanyi ugulumba gwabhonji, gubhaalugulilenje “Pakuti nnaninganga? Mmbanganjeti dinalijo nijilole.”
16 And, when they had brought it, he asked, “Whose head and title are these?” “The Emperor’s,” they said;
Gubhaapelenje. Bhai gubhaabhushiyenje, “Jene pishaji na majandikoga, gakeni?” Gubhajangwilenje, “Ga a Kaishali.”
17 and Jesus replied, “Pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.” And they were amazed at him.
Bhai a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Ya a Kaishali, mwaapanganje a Kaishali, na ya a Nnungu, mwaapanganje a Nnungu.” Bhai, gubhakanganigwenje kwa kaje kwa shene shijangulosho.
18 Next came some Sadducees – the men who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this –
Bhai Mashadukayo bhalugulanga kuti kwakwapi kuyuka kwa bhandunji, gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu, nikwabhuya bhalinkutinji,
19 “Teacher, in our scriptures Moses decreed that, should a man’s brother die, leaving a widow but no child, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.
“Mmajiganya, Mmalajilo ga a Musha, bhashikutujandishila nnei, ‘Mundu awaga nikunneka nkagwe gwangali kolela mwana, mpwakwe antole jwene nshitengajo, ankolele mwana nkulugwe.’
20 There were once seven brothers. The eldest married, but died and left no family;
Bhai bhashinkupagwanga bhanabhalume shabha, bha likaja limo. Jwankulu gwalombile, gwawile gwangali kukolela mwana.
21 and the second married his widow, and died without family; and so did the third.
Jwabhili gwantolile na jwalakwe gwawile gwangali kukolela mwana, nneyo peyo nkali jwa tatu.
22 All the seven died and left no family. The woman herself died last of all.
Bhai bhanaabhowe shabha, gubhawilenje gwangali kuleka mwana. Bhai kungai bhakongwe nabhalabho gubhawile.
23 At the resurrection whose wife will she be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?”
Bhai lyubha lya yuka, bhakongwe bhala shibhabhe bhakeni? Pabha bhowe shabha bhaalombilenje.”
24 “Is not the reason of your mistake,” answered Jesus, “your ignorance of the scriptures and of the power of God?
A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhuli mmanganyanji nnaobhanga, kwa ligongo lya nngagamanya majandiko ga Ukonjelo, na wala mashili ga a Nnungu.
25 When people rise from the dead, there is no marrying or being married; but they are as angels in heaven.
Pabha pushibhayukanje bhandu bhowe, kukapagwa kulomba wala kulombwa, ikabhe shibhabhanganje malinga ashimalaika bha kunnungu.
26 “As to the dead, and the fact that they rise, have you never read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God spoke to him saying – ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
Na ga yuka bhawilenje, mwangashomanga nshitabhu sha a Musha, majandiko gataya ga shitekete shakolelaga moto shila? A Nnungu pubhaabhalanjile a Musha kuti, ‘Nne a Nnungu bha a Bhulaimu na a Ishaka na a Yakobho.’
27 He is not God of dead people, but of living. You are greatly mistaken.”
Kwa nneyo bhenebho nngabha a Nnungu bha bhawilenje, ikabhe a Nnungu bha bhakotonji. Bhai mmanganya nnaobhanga kwa kaje.”
28 Then came up one of the teachers of the Law who had heard their discussions. Knowing that Jesus had answered them wisely, he asked him this question, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”
Bhai bhaajiganya bhamo bha shalia, bhaapali pubhataukanganaga a Yeshu na ashimashadukayo, gubhamanyi kuti a Yeshu bhashijangula ukoto, kwanneyo gubhaabhushiye a Yeshu, “Jei amuli jili jikulungwa kupunda yowe?”
29 “The most important,” answered Jesus, “is – ‘Hear, Israel; the Lord our God is the one Lord;
A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “Jikulungwa ni ajino, ‘Upilikane ugwe Ishilaeli! Bhakulungwa a Nnungu bhetu, ni Bhakulungwa bhamope.
30 and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
Kwa nneyo Mwaapinje Bhakulungwa a Nnungu bhenu, kwa ntima gwenu gowe, na kwa mbumu yenu yowe, na kwa lunda lwenu lowe, na kwa mashili genu gowe.’
31 The second is this – ‘You must love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Na jabhili jakwe, ni ajino, ‘Mumpinje ntami nnjenu malinga shinkwiipinga mmayene.’ Jakwa amuli jina jikulungwa kupunda yenei.”
32 “Wisely answered, teacher!” exclaimed the teacher of the Law. “It is true, as you say, that there is one God, and that there is no other besides him;
Bhai bhaajiganya bha Shalia ya a Musha bhala gubhashite, “Mmaajiganya, penepo mmelekete ukoto, kuti a Nnungu bhamope, bhakwa bhana ikabhe bhenebho pebho.
33 and to love him with all one’s heart, and with all one’s understanding, and with all one’s strength, and to love one’s neighbor as one loves oneself is far beyond all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
Kwa nneyo, inapinjikwa kwaapinga bhenebho, kwa ntima gowe, na kwa lunda lowe, na kwa mashili gowe, na kumpinga ntami nnjenu, malinga shinkwipinga mmayene. Pabha lyeneli ni lya mmbone kupunda kwaapa a Nnungu indu ya mbepei ya tiniya na indu yowe ya bhishila.”
34 Seeing that he had answered with discernment, Jesus said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that no one ventured to question him further.
A Yeshu bhakabhoneje kuti bhene bhandubho bhashijangula kwa lunda, gubhaalugulile, “Mmwe, mwangataliya na Upalume gwa a Nnungu.” Bhai tandubhila penepo, jwakwa mundu alinjile kabhili, kwaabhuya shindu.
35 While Jesus was teaching in the Temple Courts, he asked, “How is it that the teachers of the Law say that the Christ is to be David’s son?
Bhai a Yeshu bhali nkujiganya ku Likanisha, gubhabhushiye, “Pakuti bhaajiganya bha Shalia bhakutinji, a Kilishitu Bhana bhabho a Daudi?
36 David said himself, speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit – ‘The Lord said to my lord: Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies beneath your feet.’
Na a Daudi bhayene, bhakagumbayweje na mbumu jwa ukonjelo gubhashite, ‘Bhakulungwa, bhashinkwalugulila Bhakulungwa bhangu. Ntame nkono gwangu gwa kunnilo, Mpaka pushinaabhikanje ashaamagongo ajenu, pa libhatila makongono genu.’
37 David himself calls him ‘lord,’ how comes it, then, that he is to be his son?” The mass of the people listened to Jesus with delight.
“A Daudi bhayene bhanakwashema a Kilishitu Bhakulungwa. Bhai ikomboleka bhuli, a Kilishitu kubha bhana bhabho?” Na bhandu bhabhagwinji, bhatendaga kwaapilikanishiyanga kwa nonyelwa.
38 In the course of his teaching, Jesus said, “See that you are on your guard against the teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and to be greeted in the streets with respect,
A Yeshu mmajiganyo gabho gubhashite, “Mwiteiganje na bhaajiganya bha shalia, bhapita timbililanga mmashoko, bhali bhawetenje kanshu yabhonji yaileu, nkupinga bhakomaywanje kwa ishima na bhandunji,
39 and to have the best seats in the synagogues, and places of honor at dinner.
bhatamangana mwitengu ya mmujo, ya nshinagogi na nkalamu.
40 They are the men who rob widows of their homes, and make a pretense of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier.”
Bhanapokonyolanga indu ya bhanabhakongwe bhashitenga, akuno bhalikwitembanga kujuga kwa malobhe gamagwinji! Bhenebho shibhajiye ukumulwanga kwa mboteko ya kaje.”
41 Then Jesus sat down opposite the chests for the Temple offerings, and watched how the people put money into them. Many rich people were putting in large sums;
Bhai a Yeshu bhashinkutama tome na shibhiko sha ekalu. Bhatenda kwaalolesheyanga bhandunji, pubhatagangaga mmbiya nshibhiko. Matajili bhabhagwinji gubhatajilenje mmbiya yaigwinji.
42 but one poor widow came and put in two small coins, worth very little.
Bhai gubhaishe bhakongwe bhamo bhashitenga bhalaga, gubhatajile shilingi ibhili.
43 Then, calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than all the others who were putting money into the chests;
Penepo a Yeshu gubhaashemilenje bhaajiganywa bhabho, gubhaalugulilenje, “Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga, bhakongwe bhashitenga bhaalagabha, bhashitaga kupunda bhananji bhowe nshibhiko sha Likanisha.
44 for everyone else put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, put in all she had – everything that she had to live on.”
Pabha bhananji bhowe ibhatajilenje ipundile ya indu yabhonji, ikabheje bhakongwebha, nkali nkulaga kwabhomo, bhashitaga yowe ibhakwete, bhashitaga nkali ibhakulupalilaga.”
