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.
Kisha Yesu akayanda kubhafundisya kwa mifano. Akajobha, “Munu apandili n'gonda ghwa mizabibu, akalisyongosela bhuzio, na akagima lilenda lya kusindika mvinyo. Akajenga mnara ni kisha akalipangisya n'gonda ghwa mizabibu kwa bhakulima bha mizabibu. Kisha asafiri safari jha patali.
2 At vintage-time he sent one of his servants to receive from the vine-dressers a share of the grapes.
Wakati bho bhufikili, an'tumili n'tumishi kwa bhakulima bha mizabibu kutola kuh'omela kwa bhene baadhi jha matunda gha n'gonda ghwa mizabibu.
3 But they seized him, beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
Lakini bhan'kamuili, bhan'tobhili, ni kumb'enga bila kyokyoha.
4 Again he sent to them another servant: and as for him, they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.
Akan'tuma kwa bhene kabhele n'tumishi jhongi, bhakan'jeruhi kumutu ni kun'ketela mambo gha soni.
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.
Bado an'tumili jhongi, ni ojho mmonga bha n'kamili. Bhabhaketili bhangi bhingi mambo kama bhaghabhuene, bhakabhatobha ni bhangi kubhakhoma.
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.'
Ajhe bado ni munu mmonga zaidi ghwa kun'tuma, mwana mpendwa. Ni muene ajhele ghwa mwishu jha atumibhu kwa bhene. Akajobha, “Bhibeta kun'heshimu mwanabhangu”.
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.'
Lakini bhapangaji bhajobhisene bhene kwa bhene, “Ojho ndo mrithi. Mhidayi, hebu na tun'komayi, ni bhurithi bhwibeta kujha bhwa tete.”
8 "So they took him and killed him, and flung his body outside the vineyard.
Bhakamvamila, bhakan'koma ni kum'tagha kwibhala mu n'gonda ghwa mizabibu.
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."
Henu, Je! ibeta kuketa kiki mmiliki ghwa n'gonda ghwa mizabibu? ibeta kuhida ni kubhajhangamisya bhakulima bha mizabibu kulikabidhi n'gonda ghwa mizabibu kwa bhangi.
10 "Have you not read even this passage," He added, "'The stone which the builders rejected has become the Cornerstone:
Mbwajhilepi kusoma liandiku ele? “Liganga ambalyo bhajenzi bha libelili, limalikujha liganga lya palubhafu.
11 this Cornerstone came from the Lord, and is wonderful in our esteem?'"
Ela lyahomili kwa Bwana na lya ajabu pamihu pa tete.”
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.
Bhakalonda kunikamula Yesu, Lakini bhabhatilili makutano kwani bhamanyili kujha ajobhili mfuano bhola kwandabha jha bhene. Hivyo bhakandeka ni kubhoka.
13 Their next step was to send to Him some of the Pharisees and of Herod's partisans to entrap Him in conversation.
Kisha bhakabhatuma Mafarisayo ni Maherodia ili kuntegha kwa malobhi.
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?
Bho bhafikili, bhakan'jobhela, Mwalimu, tumanyili kujha ghwijali lepi maoni gha jhejhioha jhola na ghwilasya lepi bhupendulu kati jha bhanu. Ghwimanyisya njela jha K'yara mu bhukweli. Je! ndo haki kulepa kodi kwa Kaisari au la? Je! Twibhwesya kulepa au la?
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."
Lakini Yesu amanyili bhunafiki bhwa bhene ni kubhajobhela, “Kwa ndajhakiki mkanijaribu? Munipelayi dinari nibhwesiajhi kujhilanga.”
16 They brought one; and He asked them, "Whose is this likeness and this inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied.
Bhakaleta jhimonga kwa Yesu, Akabhajobhela, “Je! ijhe sura jha niani ni maandishi ghaghajhele apa gha niani? Bhakajobha, “Kaisari.”
17 "What is Caesar's," replied Jesus, "pay to Caesar--and what is God's, pay to God." And they wondered exceedingly at Him.
Yesu akabhajobhela, “Mumpelayi Kaisari fenu fya Kaisari ni K'yara fenu fya K'yara.” Bhakan'staajabu.
18 Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.
Kisha Masadukayo, bhabhijobha bhujhelepi bhufufuo, bhakandotela. Bhakan'kota, bhakajobha,
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.'
“Mwalimu, Musa atujhandikili kujha, 'Ndongo ghwa munu afuili ni kundeka n'dala munu kumbele kwa muene, lakini aleki lepi muana, munu ibetakun'tola n'dala ghwa ndongo munu, ni kwikabhela bhana kwandabha jha ndongo munu.'
20 There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, but at his death left no family.
Kwajhele ni bhanandugu saba ghwa kwanza atolili n'dala ni kisha akafwa, alekili lepi bhana.
21 The second married her, and died, leaving no family; and the third did the same.
Kisha ghwa pili an'tolili ni muene akafwa alekilepi bhana. Ni ghwa tatu jhajhe mebhu.
22 And so did the rest of the seven, all dying childless. Finally the woman also died.
Ni ghwa saba afuili bila kuleka bhana. Mwishowe ni n'dala ni muene akafwa.
23 At the Resurrection whose wife will she be? For they all seven married her."
Wakati ghwa bhufufuo, pabhibeta kufufuka kabhele He! ibeta kujha n'dala, ghwa niani? Kwani bhala bhanandugu bhoha saba bhajhele bhagosi munu.”
24 "Is not this the cause of your error," replied Jesus--"your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
Yesu akabhajobhela, “Je! Ejhe sababu lepi kujha mu potosibhu, kwa ndabha mumanyilepi mayandiku wala ngofu sya K'yara?”
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.
Wakati bhwa kufufuka kuh'omela kwa bhafu, bhibeta lepi kugega, wala kujhingila mu ndobho, bali bhibeta kujha kama malaika bha kumbinguni.
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?'
Lakini, kuhusu bhafu bha bhifufulibhwa, Je! Mwasomilepi kuhomela kitabu kya Musa, Mu bahari sya kichaka, jinsi K'yara kyaajobhili ni kun'jobhela, 'Nene ndo K'yara ghwa Ibrahimu ni K'yara ghwa Isaka, ni K'yara ghwa Yakobo?'
27 He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error."
Muene K'yara ghwa bhafulepi, bali bhabhajhe hai. Ndo bhukweli mupotuiki.”
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?"
Mmonga ghwa bhaandishi akahida ni kup'elekesya mazungumzo gha bhene; abhwene kujha Yesu abhajitili kinofu. “Je! amri jheleku jha muhimu zaidi kuliko senge?”
29 "The chief Commandment," replied Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;
Yesu akan'jibu, “Jhaijhele jha muhimu ejhe, “Pelekayi, Israeli, Bwana K'yara ghwitu, Bwana ndo mmonga.
30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind, and thy whole strength.'
Lazima un'ganayi Bwana K'yara ghwa jhobhi muoyo ghwa jhobhi bhuoha, kwa roho jha jhobhi, kwa luhala kwa jhobhi lwoha, ni kwa ngofu sya jhobhi syoha.'
31 "The second is this: 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as thou lovest thyself.' "Other Commandment greater than these there is none."
Amri jha pili ejhe, 'Lazima un'ganayi jirani ghwa jhobhi kama kyaukigana ghwa jobhi.' Ijhelepi amri jhenge mbaha zaidi jha e'se.”
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;
Mwandishi akajobha, “Knofu Mwalimu! Ujobhili bhukweli kujha K'yara ni mmonga, ni kujha ajhelepi jhongi zaidi jha muene.
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."
Kun'gana muene kwa muoyo bhuoha, ni kwa bhufahamu bhuoha, ni kwa nghofu syoha nikun'gana jirani kama muene ni muhimu kuliko matoleo gha dhabihu sya kuteketesibhwa.”
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.
Wakati Yesu abhuene ahomisi lijibu lya busara akan'jobhela, “Bhebhe ujhelepi patali ni bhufalme bhwa K'yara.” Baada jha hapo ajhelepi hata mmonga jhe athubutiuli kun'kota Yesu maswali ghoghoha.
35 But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?
Ni Yesu akajibu bho ifundisya mu hekalu, akajobha, “Je! bhaandishi bhijobha bhuli kujha Kristu ndo mwana ghwa Daudi?
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.'
Daudi muene mu Roho mtakatifu, ajobhili, 'Bwana ajobhili kwa Bwana ghwa nene tamayi mu kibhoko kya nene kya kuume, mpaka nibhabhombajhi maaduibha bhebhe kujha pasi pa magolo gha bhebhe.'
37 "David himself calls Him 'Lord:' how then can He be his son?" And the mass of people found pleasure in listening to Jesus.
Daudi muene akan'kuta Kristu, 'Bwana' Je! ni mwana ghoa Daudi kwa jinsi gani?” Ni likusanyiku libhala lyamp'elekisi kwa furaha.
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,
Mu mafundisho gha muene na Yesu ajobhili, “Mukitahadhariajhi ni bhaandishi, bhabhinoghela kugenda ni likanzu litali ni kusalimibhwa mu masoko.
39 and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues and at dinner parties,
ni kutama mu fiti fya bha bhaha mu masinagogi ni mu sikukuu mu maeneo gha bhabhaha.
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."
Pia bhilya nyumba sya bhajana bhis'oma maombi matali ili bhanu bha bhabhonayi. Bhanu abha bhibeta kupokela hukumu mbaha.”
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.
Kisha Yesu atumili pasi karibu ni lisanduku lya sadaka mugati mu lihekalu; ajhele ilola bhanu bha bhajhele bhisopa hela sya bhene mu kisanduku. Bhanu bhingi matajiri bhabhekili kiasi kibhaha kya pesa.
42 But there came one poor widow and dropped in two farthings, equal in value to a halfpenny.
Kisha n'dala mjane maskini akahida ni kus'opa fipandi fibhele, thamani jha senti.
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;
Kisha akabhakuta bhanafunzi bha muene ni kubhajobhela, “Muaminiajhi nikabhajobhela, N'dala ojho mjane asopili kiasi kibhaha zaidi jha bhuoha ambabho bhamalikusopa lya sadaka.
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."
Kwani bhoha bhasopili kutokana ni bhwingi bhwa mapato gha bhene. Lakini n'dala mjane ojho, kutokana ni umasikini bhwa muene, asopili hela jhioha ambajho alondekeghe kuitumila kwa maisha gha muene.”
