Matthew 22
1 And Jesus answered, and spoke to them again by parables, and said,
Yesu katakuliti nawomberi kayi kwa mfanu.
2 The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son,
“Ufalumi wa kumpindi ulifana ntambu ayi. Kuweriti na mfalumi yakamtandiriti mwana gwakuwi mpalu msambu gwa ndowa.
3 And sent his servants to call them that were invited to the wedding: and they would not come.
Su, kawatumiti wantumintumi wakuwi wakawashemi walii yawashemiritwi wizi kumsambu, kumbiti walii yawashemiritwi walemiti kwiza.
4 Again, he sent other servants, saying, Tell them who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come to the marriage.
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 But they made light of [it], and went, one to his farm, another 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 remnant took his servants, and treated [them] spitefully, and slew [them].
na wamonga wawakamula wantumintumi walii, wawakomanga na kuwalaga.
7 But when the king heard [of it], he was wroth: and he sent his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Mfalumi ulii kakalariti nentu, su kawatuma wanjagila wakuwi wakawalagi woseri yawatenditi hangu na kapambira motu lushi zyawu.
8 Then he saith to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they who were invited were not worthy.
Shakapanu kawagambira wantumintumi wakuwi, ‘Msambu gwa ndowa gwa kala, kumbiti yawashemiritwi walema kwiza.
9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, invite to the marriage.
Vinu mgendi munjira pamwawona wantu woseri mwashemi wizi mumsambu gwa ndowa.’
10 So those servants went out into the highways, and collected all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
Su wantumintumi walii wawuka na wagenda munjira, wawashemera wantu woseri yawawoniti, wadoda na waheri, numba yoseri ya msambu ivuwiti wahenga.
11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not a wedding-garment:
“Mfalumi pakayingiriti kuwalola wahenga, kamwona muntu kavala ndiri nguwu ya ndowa.
12 And he saith to him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
Mfalumi kamkosiya, ‘Ganja, gwingira hashi panu pota kuvala nguwu ya ndowa?’ Kumbiti yomberi kawankula ndiri.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into utter darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Palaa palii mfalumi kawagambira wantumintumi, ‘Mumtawi magulu na mawoku, mwakamwasi kunja muntiti. Aku hakalili na kugayagaya menu gakuwi.’”
14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
Na Yesu kamalira kwa kutakula, “Yawashemiritwi wavuwa, kumbiti yawasyagulitwi ndo wadidini.”
15 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in [his] talk.
Shakapanu Mafalisayu wagenda zawu na wapangiti ntambu ya kumgomiziya Yesu kwa visoweru vyakuwi.
16 And they sent out to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any [man]: for thou regardest not the person 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 thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
Su, gutugambiri, gwenga gulihola shishi? Lagaliru ama lagaliru ndiri kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari?”
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites?
Kumbiti Yesu kavimana ukondola wawu yawalihola, su kawagambira, “Mwawafyangu mwenga! Iwera hashi mwankujera kungomiziya?
19 Show me the tribute-money. And they brought to him a penny.
Munanguziyi mpiya zya kulipira kodi!” Womberi wamlavilira ligwala lya mpiya,
20 And he saith to them, Whose [is] this image, and superscription?
na Yesu kawakosiya, “Sheni na malembu aga mumpiya ga gaa?”
21 They say to him, Cesar's. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Cesar, the things which are Cesar's; and to God, the things that are God's.
Womberi wamwankula, “Ga mfalumi gwa Rumi.” Su Yesu kawagambira, “Mumpanani Kaisari vyaviwera vya Kaisari na mumpanani Mlungu vyaviwera vya Mlungu.”
22 When they had heard [these words], they marveled, and left him, and departed.
Pawapikaniriti hangu, walikangasha na wamleka wagenditi zawu.
23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
Lishaka liraa lilii, Masadukayu wamu ndo yawatakulaga wantu yawahowiti hapeni wazyuki, wamgenderiti Yesu.
24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man shall die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and 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 Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased; and having no issue, 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 Likewise the second also, 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 died also.
Lupeleru na mdala uliya kahowiti viraa.
28 Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they 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 Jesus answered and said to them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, 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 neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Toziya yawahowiti pawazyuka, hawalifani gambira wantumintumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu na wantu hapeni wayugi ama kuyugwa.
31 But as concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye 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 the God of the dead, but of the 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 when the multitude heard [this], they were astonished at his doctrine.
Lipinga lya wantu palipikaniriti hangu walikangasha mafundu gakuwi.
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were assembled about him.
Mafalisayu pawapikaniriti handa Yesu kawawankula Masadukayu mpaka wasinditi kumkosiya kayi, su womberi waliwoniti pamuhera.
35 Then one of them [who was] a lawyer, asked [him a question], tempting him, and saying,
Yumu gwawu, mfunda gwa Malagaliru, kamkosiya Yesu kwa kufira kumgomiziya,
36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
“mfunda, lilagaliru lyoshi ndo likulu Mumalagaliru?”
37 Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Yesu kamwankula, “Gumfiri Mtuwa Mlungu gwaku kwa moyu gwaku gwoseri, kwa rohu yaku yoseri na kwa mahala gaku goseri.”
38 This is the first and great commandment.
Ali ndo lilagaliru likulu lya kwanja.
39 And the second [is] like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Na lya pili lilifana na ali, “Gumfiri gwapakwegera gwaku ntambu yagulifira gumweni.”
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Malagaliru goseri ga Musa na malembu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu gankulitumbira malagaliru mawili aga.
41 While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them,
Mafalisayu pawaweriti pamuhera, Yesu kawakosiiti,
42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, [The son] of David.
“Mwenga mulihola hashi kuusu Kristu Mlopoziya? Hashi, yomberi ndo gwa shiyiwuku shagaa?” Wamwankula, “Shiyiwuku sha Dawudi.”
43 He saith to them, How then doth David in 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 thou on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool?
‘Mtuwa kamgambiriti Mtuwa gwangu, Gulivagi uwega waneni wa kumliwu, Mpaka nuwatuli wangondu waku pasi pa magulu gaku.’
45 If David then calleth 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 man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any [man], from that day forth, ask him any more questions.
Kwahera muntu yoseri yakaweziti kumwankula Yesu na kwanjira lishaka lilii kwahera yakajeriti kayi kukosiya shoseri.
