Matthew 22
1 And, answering, Jesus, again, spake in parables unto them, saying: —
Yesu ajovili nawu kavili kwa miluhumu, akajova.
2 The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man, a king, —who made a marriage-feast for his son;
“Unkosi wa kunani kwa Chapanga uwanangini na nkosi mweamtendelekili mwana waki mselebuko wa ndowa.
3 And sent his servants, to call the invited into the marriage-feast, —and they would not come.
Avatumili vatumisi kuvakemela veavagongolili kundowa, nambu vene vabeli kubwela.
4 Again, sent he other servants, saying—Say to the invited, Lo! my dinner, have I prepared, mine oxen and my fatlings, are slain, —and, all things, are, ready: Come ye into the marriage-feast.
Kangi avatumili vatumisi vangi, akajova muvajovela venivagongolili vala, Mselebuko wula nimali kutendelekela, nimali kuhinja ng'ombi yigosi na mpapakasi yeyikulupili, nitendelekili kila chindu, mbwela kundowa!
5 And, they, slighting it, went off, one, indeed, into his own field, and, another, unto his merchandise, —
Nambu vevagongoliwi valitopisi lepi lijambu lila, vakahambanila, mmonga kumgunda waki na yungi kumahengu gaki,
6 And, the rest, securing his servants, ill-treated and slew them.
na vangi vavakamwili vatumisi vala vakavaliga na kuvakoma.
7 And, the king, was provoked to anger, —and, sending his armies, destroyed those murderers, and, their city, set on fire.
Nkosi yula akayoma, ndi akavatuma manjolinjoli vaki vahamba kuvakomekesa vakomaji venavo na kuyocha muji wavi
8 Then, saith he unto his servants—The marriage, indeed, is ready, —but, the invited, were not, worthy;
Kangi akavajovela vatumisi vaki, ‘Mselebuko wa ndowa ndi umali kutendekelewa, nambu venivagongolili vala nakuganikiwa kubwela.
9 Be going, therefore, into the crossways of the roads, and, as many as ye shall find, call ye into the marriage-feast.
Hinu, mhamba hati munjila, voha vemkuvakolela mvakemela vabwela kundowa.’
10 And those servants, going forth, into the roads, gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good, —and filled was the bride-chamber with guests.
Vatumisi vala vakawuka na kuhamba munjila, vavakemela vandu voha vevavakolili, vandu vabwina na vahakau, nyumba ya ndowa yikamema vayehe.”
11 But the king, entering to view the guests, saw there a man, who had not put on a wedding-garment, —
“Nkosi avawene paayingili kuvalola vayehe, amuwene mundu mmonga mwaangawala nyula za ndowa.
12 And saith unto him—Friend! how camest thou in here, not having a wedding-garment? And, he, was put to silence.
Nkosi akamkota, ‘Nkozi uyingi wuli penapa changawala nyula za pandowa?’ Nambu mwene agunili.
13 Then, the king said unto the ministers, Binding him feet and hands, cast him forth into the darkness, outside: There, shall be wafting and gnashing of teeth.
Kangi nkosi akavajovela vahengaji, ‘Mumkunga magendelu na mawoko mumtaga kuvala kuchitita, kwenuko yati ivemba na kuyaga minu.’”
14 For, many, are called, but, few, chosen.
Yesu akamalakisila kujova, “Vamahele vagongoliwi, nambu vevahaguliwi vadebe.”
15 Then, went the Pharisees and took, counsel, that they might ensnare him, in discourse.
Kangi Vafalisayu vakawuka, vakajovesana ndava ya kumuyonja Yesu kwa malovi gaki.
16 And they sent forth to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher! we know that, true, thou art, and, the way of God, in truth, dost teach, and it concerneth thee not about anyone, —for thou lookest not unto the face of men:
Ndi vavatumili vamulanda vavi pamonga na vamulanda va chikundi cha Helodi. Vamkota, “Muwula,” “Timanyili kuvya veve ndi mundu wa chakaka, wiwula njila ya Chapanga muuchakaka, changayogopa vandu vijova kyani muni ulongosi wa mundu chindu lepi kwa veve.
17 Tell us then, how, to thee, it seemeth? Is it allowable to give tax unto Caesar, or not?
Hinu tijovela, uholalela wuli? Wu, chabwina amala lepi, tete kulipa kodi kwa nkosi wa ku Loma ndi mewa ikemelewa Kaisali?”
18 But Jesus, taking note of their wickedness, said—Why are ye tempting me, hypocrites?
Nambu, Yesu amanyili uhakau wavi, akavajovela, “Nyenye vahomela ndava kyani mukunilinga?
19 Shew me the coin appointed for the tax. And, they, brought unto him a denary.
Mnilangisa lishonga la kulipila kodi!” Vene vakamlangisa lishonga.
20 And he saith unto them—Whose, is this image and the inscription?
Ndi, Yesu akavakota, “Pamihu apa na liina lenili vyeviyandikwi penapa ndi vya yani?”
21 They say—Caesar’s. Then, saith he unto them—Render, therefore, the things of Caesar, unto Caesar, —and, the things of God, unto God.
Vakamyangula “Ya nkosi wa ku Loma.” Penapo Yesu akavajovela, “Hinu mumpela nkosi wa ku Loma vyaki nkosi wa ku Loma na mumpela Chapanga vyaki Chapanga.”
22 And, hearing, they marvelled, —and, leaving him, departed.
Pevayuwini genago vakakangasa, vakamleka vakawuka.
23 On that day, there came unto him Sadducees, who say, there is, no resurrection—and they questioned him,
Ligono lenilo pagati ya Vasadukayu vangi vevijova vandu vevafwili viyuka lepi, vamhambalili Yesu na kumkota,
24 saying—Teacher! Moses, said, If any man die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
vakamjovela “Muwula, Musa atijovili mundu mweagegili afwili changaleka vana, yikumgana mlongo waki amhala lipwela mwenuyo, muni ambabakisila vana mlongo waki
25 Now there were, with us, seven brethren; and, the first, marrying, died, and not having seed, left his wife unto his brother.
Hinu pitu apa pavili na valongo saba. Mwaatumbwili kugega afwili changaleka vana, na mlongo waki amgegili lipwela mwenuyo.
26 Likewise, the second also, and the third, —unto the seven.
Hinu yavi mewawa kwa valongo vangi wa pili na wa datu, mbaka voha saba.
27 And, last of all, died, the wife.
Pavamali kufwa valongo venavo voha, ndi na mdala yula afwili.
28 In the resurrection, therefore, —Of which of the seven, shall she be wife? For, all, had her.
Wu, pa ligono la kuyuka yati ivya mdala wa yani pagati ya valongo vala? Muni voha saba vagegini nayu.”
29 And Jesus answering, said—Ye are deceiving yourselves, knowing neither the Scriptures, nor yet the power of God.
Yesu akavayangula “Nyenye mubudili ndava muni nakumanya Mayandiku Gamsopi wala makakala ga Chapanga.
30 For, in the resurrection, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but, as messengers in the heaven, are they.
Muni vevafwili paviyuka yati vigega lepi wala kugegewa, ndi vivya ngati vamitumu va kunani kwa Chapanga.
31 But, as touching the resurrection of the dead—Have ye not read what was spoken unto you by God, saying—
Nambu ndava ya kuyuka kwa vevafwili, wu, mwangasoma geavajovili Chapanga? Avajovili,
32 I, am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?—He is not God, of the dead, but, of the living.
‘Nene ndi Chapanga wa Ibulahimu, Chapanga wa Izaki na Chapanga wa Yakobo.’ Hinu mwene ndi lepi Chapanga wa vevafwili, nambu ndi Chapanga wa vakona wumi.”
33 And, the multitudes, hearing, were being struck with astonishment at his teaching.
Msambi wa vandu wula pevayuwini malovi ago, ukakangasa ndava ya mawuliwu gaki.
34 Now, the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, were brought together with one accord;
Vafalisayu pevayuwini kuvya Yesu avagunisi Vasadukayu, vakakonganeka pamonga.
35 and one from among them, a lawyer, proposed a question, putting him to the test:
Mmonga pagati yavi, mweavimmanya malagizu bwina, amkotili Yesu cha kumlinga,
36 Teacher! which commandment, is greatest in the law?
“Muwula ndi muhilu woki ukulu mu malagizu?”
37 And, he, said unto him—Thou shalt love the Lord thy God—with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind:
Yesu akayangula, “‘Mgana Bambu Chapanga waku, mumtima waku woha, mumpungu waku woha na muluhala lwaku lwoha.’
38 This, is the great and first commandment.
Yeniyi ndi muhilu ukulu ndi wa kutumbukana.
39 The second, like it, is, this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Na ya pili yeyiwanangana na yeniyi, ‘Ndi mgana muyaku ngati chaukujigana wamwene.’
40 In these two commandments, all the law, is contained, and the prophets.
Malagizu goha ga Musa na mawuliwu ga vamlota va Chapanga gihuvalila mihilu yeniyo yivili.”
41 Now, the Pharisees having come together, Jesus questioned them, saying—
Vafalisayu pavakonganiki pamonga, Yesu avakotili,
42 How, to you, doth it seem, concerning the Christ? Whose son, is he? They say unto him—David’s.
“Nyenye mwihololela wuli ndava ya Kilisitu? Mwana wa yani?” Vakamyangula “Mwene ndi mwana wa Daudi.”
43 He saith unto them—How then doth, David, in spirit, call him, Lord, saying—
Yesu, akavajovela, “Ndava kyani,” Kwa makakala ga Mpungu Msopi? Daudi akumkemela mwene Bambu? Muni ajovili,
44 The Lord, hath said unto, my Lord, —Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool?
Bambu amjovili Bambu wangu, tama muchiwoko changu cha kulyelela, mbaka nivavika vamakoko vaku kuvya pahi ya magendelu gaku.
45 If then, David, calleth him, Lord, How, is he, his son?
Hinu, ngati Daudi akumkemela, Kilisitu Bambu, yihotoleka wuli kuvya mwana waki?
46 And, no one, was able to answer him a word, neither durst anyone, from that day, question him, any more.
Avi lepi mundu mweahotwili kumyangula lilovi. Kutumbula ligono lenilo kawaka mundu mwalingili kumkota kangi.
