Mark 12
1 Then He began to speak to them in figurative language. "There was once a man," He said, "who planted a vineyard, fenced it round, dug a pit for the wine-tank, and built a strong lodge. Then he let the place to vine-dressers and went abroad.
Mpawo wakasanguna kubaambila maambila mbali wakati, “Mwaalumi umwi wakabyala misamu yamisansa. Wakayakila lubaya aalinjiyo, wakasya dindi lyakudinina nsansa, akuyaka ingaze yasikulinda. Alimwi wakajana kupa bamwi balimi mpawo wakaya kuchisi chimbi.
2 At vintage-time he sent one of his servants to receive from the vine-dressers a share of the grapes.
Muchiindi chakutebula wakatuma umwi wababelesi bakwe kuyoobweza michelo yamansansa.
3 But they seized him, beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
Pesi balimi abo bakakumujata, akumuma, akumwaanda nkakutakwe nchakabweda aacho pe.
4 Again he sent to them another servant: and as for him, they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.
Wakatuma uumbi mubelesi; oyo mwaalumi bakamutulula mumutwe akumusampawula. Wakatuma uumbi, alubo oyo bakakumujaya.
5 Yet a third he sent, and him they killed. And he sent many besides, and them also they ill-treated, beating some and killing others.
Wakatuma bambi bingi; bamwi bakawumwa, bamwi bakajayigwa.
6 He had still one left whom he could send, a dearly-loved son: him last of all he sent, saying, "'They will treat my son with respect.'
Kwakasyaala omwe biyo wakutuma, nkali mwana ngwaakali kuyandisya kapati. Wakamutuma nkali wakumaninsizya, wakati, “Bayomulemeka mwanaangu.”
7 "But those men--the vine-dressers--said to one another, "'Here is the heir: come, let us kill him, and then the property will one day be ours.'
Pesi balimi bakaambilana kuti, “Ooyu ngusimulya lukono. muze tumujaye, mpawo lukono luyoba lwesu.”
8 "So they took him and killed him, and flung his body outside the vineyard.
Nkabela bakamujata akumujaya, akumuwaalila anze aamuunda waminsansa.
9 What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do?" "He will come and put the vine-dressers to death," they said; "and will give the vineyard to others."
Aboobo ulachita buti mwani muunda? Ulasika akujaya balimi akape bambi muunda wamisaansa.
10 "Have you not read even this passage," He added, "'The stone which the builders rejected has become the Cornerstone:
Tamuna kwaabala na malembe: ‘Ibbwe lyakasowedwe abasikuyaka ndilyakazooba ibbwe lyachooko.
11 this Cornerstone came from the Lord, and is wonderful in our esteem?'"
Mwaami ngwaakachichita eechi, mpawo chilabotezya kumenso eesu?’”
12 And they kept looking out for an opportunity to seize Him, but were afraid of the people; for they saw that in this parable He had referred to them. So they left Him and went away.
Eelyo bakayanduula nzila yakumwaanga aayo nkaambo bakaziba kuti wakali kwaamba mbabo kumaambila mbali aaya. Pesi bakayoowa inkamu yabantu yakaliwo, nkaako bakamusiya mpawo bakeenda.
13 Their next step was to send to Him some of the Pharisees and of Herod's partisans to entrap Him in conversation.
Muchiindi chitobela bakatuma bamwi baba Falisi aba Heloda kuli Jesu kuti bakamujate mumakani aakwe.
14 So they came to Him. "Rabbi," they said, "we know that you are a truthful man and you do not fear any one; for you do not recognize human distinctions, but teach God's way truly. Is it allowable to pay poll-tax to Caesar, or not?
Bakasika kulinguwe bakati, “Muyisi, tulizi kuti ulimwaalumi ulaabulemu usyomekede. Topenzegwi abantu, nkaambo toswiilizyi makani aamuntu na kulanga chiwa chamuntu; pesi uyiisya nzila ya Leza mbuli mbiibede amubwini. Chileede na kutela kuli Kkayisala na pe? Tweelede kuti tubbadale na, naa kuti pe?”
15 Shall we pay, or shall we refuse to pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, replied, "Why try to ensnare me? Bring me a shilling for me to look at."
Pesi Jesu wakalizi kuupawupa kwabo. Jesu wakababuzya kuti, “Kaambonzi nimulikweezya kunditeya?” Wakati, “Amundeetele nsiliva yanu alimwi ndiibone mbiibede.”
16 They brought one; and He asked them, "Whose is this likeness and this inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied.
Elyo bakiiyeta nsiliva, alimwi wakababuzya kuti, “Mbubwani busyu obu? Alimwi ndizina lyani lilembedwe mpawo?” Bakasandula kuti, “Nzizya Kkayisala.”
17 "What is Caesar's," replied Jesus, "pay to Caesar--and what is God's, pay to God." And they wondered exceedingly at Him.
Mpawo Jesu wakati kulimbabo, “Amupe Kkayisala zyaKkayisala, alimwi mupe Leza izya Leza.” Bakaba aakugamba aatala anguwe.
18 Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.
Mpawo ba Saduki, baamba kuti takwe bubuke, bakaza kulinguwe amubuzyo. Bakati,
19 "Rabbi," they said, "Moses made it a law for us: 'If a man's brother should die and leave a wife, but no child, the man shall marry the widow and raise up a family for his brother.'
“Muyisi, Mozesi wakatulembela kuti, 'Na mukulana wamulumi mpawo wasiya mwanakazi kabatakwe bana, mwaalumi weelede kukwata mukamufu mpawo babe abana bamukulana.'
20 There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, but at his death left no family.
Kwakali bana bachaalumi bali musanu ababili. Mutaanzi wakakwata mpawo wakafwa katasiide mwana naba womwe.
21 The second married her, and died, leaving no family; and the third did the same.
Wachibili wakakwata mukamufu, pesi alakwe wakafwa katasiide mwana. Chakaba mbubo akuli watatu.
22 And so did the rest of the seven, all dying childless. Finally the woman also died.
Tawope akati kababa bali musanu ababili wakasiya mwana. Kumamanino, alakwe mwanakazi wakafwa.
23 At the Resurrection whose wife will she be? For they all seven married her."
Kububuke bwabafu, oyu mwanakazi uyooba wani? Mbunga boonse kabali musanu abatatu bakalimukwete.”
24 "Is not this the cause of your error," replied Jesus--"your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
Jesu wakasandula kuti, “Tamuli mubulubizi na kambo malembe tamwaazi naa kuti manguzu aa Leza?
25 For when they have risen from among the dead, men do not marry and women are not given in marriage, but they are as angels are in Heaven.
Bafu nibayoobuka, tabakoyookwata nikuba kukwatanisigwa; bayooba mbuli bangelo kujulu.
26 But as to the dead, that they rise to life, have you never read in the Book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?'
Lino mukwaamba atala abafu nibayoobuka temwakabala na muBbuku lyaMozesi, kuleezyo zyakachitika kuchiteyo, Leza mbakaambula kulinguwe, ‘Ndime Leza wa Abbulamu, Leza wa Ayizeki, alubo Leza wa Jakobo?'
27 He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error."
Tali Leza wabafwide, pesi ngwababapona. Mulilubizizye kapati!”
28 Then one of the Scribes, who had heard them disputing and well knew that Jesus had given them an answer to the point, and a forcible one, came forward and asked Him, "Which is the chief of all the Commandments?"
Umwi wabayisyi bamulawo naakasika wakamvwa kabakazyania. Nkabwene kuti Jesu wakali wabapa nsandulo mbotu, wakabuzya Jesu kuti, “Nguuli mulawo mupati kwiinda imwi akati kamilawo yoonse?” Jesu wakamusandula kuti,
29 "The chief Commandment," replied Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;
“Ngooyu: ‘Amuswiilile, noma Izilayeli, Mwaami Leza wesu, Mwaami ngumwi.
30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind, and thy whole strength.'
Yanda Mwami Leza wako amoyo wako woonse, amizeezo yako yoonse, mpawo amanguzu aako woonse.’ Wabili ngooyu:
31 "The second is this: 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as thou lovest thyself.' "Other Commandment greater than these there is none."
‘Yanda mweenzinyokwe mbuli mboliyanda.’ Tuwope mulawo mupati wiinda eeyi.”
32 So the Scribe said to Him, "Rightly, in very truth, Rabbi, have you said that He stands alone, and there is none but He;
Oyu mwaalumi wakasandula kuti, “Waamba kabotu omuyisyi, waamba kabotu kuti Leza ngumwi alubo takukwe umbi kunze kwakwe alike.
33 and To love Him with all one's heart, with all one's understanding, and with all one's strength, and to love one's fellow man no less than oneself, is far better than all our whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices."
Kumuyanda amoyo wako woonse, akumvwisisisya kwako alubo amanguzu aako woonse, mpawo akuyanda simabambanwa wako mbuli mboliyanda nkubotu loko kwiinda zipayizyo.”
34 Perceiving that the Scribe had answered wisely Jesus said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one from that time forward ventured to put any question to Him.
Lino Jesu naakabona kuti wasandula chabuchenjezu, wakati kuli nguwe, “Tolikulepe a Bwami bwa Leza.” Elyo kuzwa awo tawope naba omwe wakeezya kumubuzya iimbi mibuzyo.
35 But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?
Nkali kuyiisya Jesu mulubuwa lwatempele, wakabuzya mubuzyo wakati, “Nkamboonzi bayiisi bamulawo nibati Kilisitu mwana waDavida? We lwakwe
36 David himself said, taught by the Holy Spirit, "'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand, until I have made thy foes a footstool under thy feet.'
Devidi, kaambuzigwa a Muuya Uusalala, wakachaamba antanganana wakati: ‘Mwami wakati kuMwami wangu, kkala kukuboko kwachilisyo kwangu kusikila basinkondonyokwe ndibabike kunsi amawulu aako.’
37 "David himself calls Him 'Lord:' how then can He be his son?" And the mass of people found pleasure in listening to Jesus.
We lwakwe Devidi umwiita kuti ‘Mwami.’ Ani inga ulaba mwana wakwe biyeni?” Inkamu yabantu yaka muswiilizya chalumwemwe.
38 Moreover in the course of His teaching He said, "Be on your guard against the Scribes who like to walk about in long robes and to be bowed to in places of public resort,
Naakalikuyiisya Jesu wakati, “Amubachenjelele bayiisi bamulawo balayandisya kweendeenda kabatungana mulongo kabajuzigwa kumasambalilo,
39 and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues and at dinner parties,
alubo akupegwa zyuuno zibotu mumambungano akulemekwa kapati aabungene bantu.
40 and who swallow up the property of widows and then mask their wickedness by making long prayers: these men will receive far heavier punishment."
Balanyonyoona maanda abamukabafu kabakomba ankombyo ndamfu chakweebwa. Aaba bantu bayoopegwa chisubulo chipati.”
41 Having taken a seat opposite the Treasury, He observed how the people were dropping money into the Treasury, and that many of the wealthy threw in large sums.
Jesu wakakkala kumbali lyachiykoobwedo chazituzyo mung'anda ya Leza; bantu nibakalikuwaala mali muchiyobweedo. Bavubi biingi bakalikuwala imali nyingi.
42 But there came one poor widow and dropped in two farthings, equal in value to a halfpenny.
Pesi mukamufu muchete wakabika biyo tupeni tobile, tweelene aaseleni lyomwe.
43 So He called His disciples to Him and said, "In solemn truth I tell you that this widow, poor as she is, has thrown in more than all the other contributors to the Treasury;
Lino wakayita basikwiiya bakwe, wakati, Ndiikumwaambila kasimpe kuti, ooyu mukamufu wabika kwiinda boonse muchiyobwedo.
44 for they have all contributed out of what they could well spare, but she out of her need has thrown in all she possessed--all she had to live on."
Boonse bapa mukweendelana abuvubi bwabo; pesi we, mubuchete bwakwe, wabika zyoonse nzyaalangilide mubuumi bwakwe kuti apone anzizyo.”
