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.
Yesu kanjiti kutakula nawu kwa mifanu, “Muntu yumu kalimiti lirambu lya mizabibu. Katindiliziya shibambaza na pakati pa lirambu kabawa lirindi lya kuyonera zabibu, kanyawa lilingu lya kulolelera. Kawazimila lirambu ali kwa walimaji, mweni kagenda mpaka lushi lwa kutali.
2 At vintage-time he sent one of his servants to receive from the vine-dressers a share of the grapes.
Shipindi sha kubenanga, kamtumiti ntumintumi gwakuwi kwa walimaji walii, kamjegeri seemu ya viboga vya lirambu lyakuwi.
3 But they seized him, beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
Walimaji walii wambata, wamkoma, wamwuziya mawoku hera.
4 Again he sent to them another servant: and as for him, they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.
Kamtuma kayi ntumintumi yumonga, ayu viraa walimaji wamkomanga mumtuwi na kumtendera vidoda.
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.
Mweni kana lirambu ulii kamtuma kayi ndundami yumonga, walimaji awa wamlagiti. Watenditi hangu kwa wamonga wavuwa yakawatumiti, wamonga wawakomiti, na wamonga wawalaga.
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.'
Kasigaliwiti na muntu yumu, yani mwana gwakuwi yakamfira. Upeleru kamtuma ayu pakalihola, ‘Hawamupanani ligoya mwana gwangu.’
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.'
Kumbiti walimaji awa waligambirana, ‘Ayu ndo Mweni mhala, tumlagi su uhala wakuwi uweri wa twenga!’
8 "So they took him and killed him, and flung his body outside the vineyard.
Su, wambata, wamlaga na kumyasa kunja kulirambu lilii.
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."
“Hashi, mweni kana lirambu hakatendi shishi? Hakizi kuwalaga walimaji woseri na kuliyazimilira lirambu lya mizabibu kwa wantu wamonga.
10 "Have you not read even this passage," He added, "'The stone which the builders rejected has become the Cornerstone:
Hashi, hamwenibetuli Malembu Mananagala, ‘Libuwi lyawaliremiti wanyawa numba Vinu liwera libuwi lyaliwera na mana nentu kuliku mabuwi goseri.
11 this Cornerstone came from the Lord, and is wonderful in our esteem?'"
Mtuwa ndo mweni yakatenditi shintu ashi, Nasheni ndo shakulikangasha kwa twenga’?”
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.
Watambika wa numba ya Mlungu na wafunda wa malagaliru na wazewi wavimaniti handa mfanu agu guweriti kawalonga womberi. Hangu wajeriti kumbata, kumbiti watiriti lipinga lya wantu. Su wamleka kagendi zakuwi.
13 Their next step was to send to Him some of the Pharisees and of Herod's partisans to entrap Him in conversation.
Su Mafalisayu wamu na wantu wa shipinga sha mfalumi Herodi wawatumiti su wamgomiziyi Yesu kwa visoweru vyakuwi.
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?
Wamgendera, wamgambira, “mfunda tuvimana handa gwenga ndo muntu yagwaminika, gutakula nakaka hera, wala gumshera ndiri muntu yoseri shakaliholiti. Gulishera ndiri ukulu wa muntu, toziya gufunda unakaka hera wa Mlungu kwa wantu. Su, gutugambiri vya halali kumupa Kaisari kodi ama ndala?”
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."
Kumbiti Yesu kavimaniti Ufyangu wawu, kawagambira, “Mbona mnjera? Mnanguziyi mpiya ligwala.”
16 They brought one; and He asked them, "Whose is this likeness and this inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied.
Wamlanguziya. Yomberi kawakosiya, “Sheni na shilanguliru ashi sha gaa?” Wamwankula, “Shilanguliru ashi sha 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.
Su Yesu kawagambira, “Vya Kaisari mmupanani Kaisari na vya Mlungu mmupanani Mlungu.” Walikangashira nentu.
18 Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.
Wantu wawalawiti mushipinga sha Masadukayu, walii watakulaga kwahera muntu yakaweza kuzyuka, su wamgenderiti Yesu wamkosiya,
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.'
“Mfunda Musa katulagaliriti hangu, ‘Muntu pakahowa na kumleka mdala pota mwana, mlongu gwakuwi mpaka kamtoli mkenja ulii na kamyiwuliri wana mlongu gwakuwi yakahowiti.’
20 There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, but at his death left no family.
Su kuweriti na walongu saba. Gwa kwanja kamyugiti, kahowa pota kumleka mwana.
21 The second married her, and died, leaving no family; and the third did the same.
Mlongu gwa pili kamyuga mkenja ayu na yomberi kahowa pota kuleka mwana. Ilawiriti ntambu iraayi kwa mlongu gwa tatu.
22 And so did the rest of the seven, all dying childless. Finally the woman also died.
Woseri saba wahowa pota kuleka wana. Pawupeleru mdala ulii kahowa.
23 At the Resurrection whose wife will she be? For they all seven married her."
Vinu wantu pawazyuka mulishaka lya kuzyuka, mawu ayu hakaweri mdala gwa gaa? Toziya woseri saba wamyugiti.”
24 "Is not this the cause of your error," replied Jesus--"your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
Yesu kawankula, “Mwenga mwagamira toziya mgamana ndiri Malembu Mananagala ama likakala lya Mlungu.
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.
Toziya wawahowiti pawazyuka, hapeni wayugi wala kuyugwa, hawaweri handa wantumintumi wa kumpindi.
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?'
Kumbiti kwa shisoweru sha kuzyukisiwa kwa wantu wawahowiti, hashi, mwenesomi mushindola sha Musa shisoweru shilii sha shitogolu shashiyakiti motu, Mlungu ntambu yakamgambiriti Musa, ‘Neni na Mlungu gwa Aburahamu na Mlungu gwa Isaka na Mlungu gwa Yakobu.’
27 He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error."
Yomberi Mlungu ndiri gwa wawahowiti, ira Mlungu gwa wakomu. Su, mwenga mwagamira nentu!”
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?"
Yumu gwa wafunda wa malagaliru kasokiti, kawapikanira Masadukayu wankulitakuziyana na Yesu. Pawawoniti Yesu kawankuliti weri, kamkosiya, “Mumalagaliru goseri, lilagaliru lyoshi likulu kuliku goseri?”
29 "The chief Commandment," replied Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;
Yesu kamwankula, “Lilagaliru likulu ndo ali, ‘Gupikiniri Israeli! Mlungu Mtuwa gwetu, ndo mweni Mtuwa gweka yakuwi.
30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind, and thy whole strength.'
Gumfiri Mlungu Mtuwa gwaku kwa moyu gwaku goseri na kwa rohu yaku yoseri na kwa mahala gaku goseri na kwa makakala gaku goseri.’
31 "The second is this: 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as thou lovest thyself.' "Other Commandment greater than these there is none."
Na lilagaliru lya pili kwa ukulu ndo ali, ‘Guwafiri wamonga ntambu yagulifira gumweni.’ Kwahera lilagaliru limonga likulu nentu kuliku ali.”
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;
Su ulii mfunda gwa malagaliru kamgambira, “Iherepa Mfunda! Gutakula nakaka kulonga Mlungu yumu hera na kwahera yumonga ira yomberi.
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."
Na gumfiri Mlungu Mtuwa gwaku kwa moyu gwaku goseri na kwa mahala gaku goseri na kwa makakala gaku goseri na guwafiri wamonga ntambu yagulifira gamweni. Shitwatira ashi shana mana nentu kuliku matambiku goseri gakulunguziya torosu kwa Mlungu.”
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.
Yesu pakawoniti handa muntu ayu kamwankula kwa luhala, kamgambira, “Gwenga gwakutali ndiri na Ufalumi wa Mlungu.” Palongolu pa aga, kwahera muntu yakajeriti kayi kumkosiya shintu.
35 But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?
Shipindi Yesu pakaweriti kankufunda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kakosiiti, “Mbona wafunda wa malagaliru watakula handa Kristu mwana gwa Dawudi?
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.'
Dawudi pakalongoziwitwi na Rohu Mnanagala katakuliti, ‘Mtuwa kamgambiriti Mtuwa gwangu, Gukali uwega wa neni wa kumliwu, Mpaka panuwatula wankondu waku pasi pa magulu gaku.’”
37 "David himself calls Him 'Lord:' how then can He be his son?" And the mass of people found pleasure in listening to Jesus.
“Dawudi mweni kamshema Kristu Mtuwa. Su Kristu hakaweri hashi mwana gwakuwi?” Lipinga lya wantu waweriti wankumpikinira, Lipinga lya wantu liweriti lyakumpikanira Yesu kwa kunemelera.
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,
Yesu pakaweriti kankufunda, katakuliti, “Mkali weri na wafunda wa malagaliru weni wafiraga kulipitiziya pitiziya walikwindira lihabiti ritali na wafira wantu wawalamsiyi kwa ligoya kusoku.
39 and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues and at dinner parties,
Wafiraga kulivaga muviti vya kulongolu munumba ya Mlungu, na kutola mpenyu ziherepa pamsambu
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."
Wawayonga wakenja aku wankulipayira kumluwa Mlungu kwa shipindi shitali! Lishaka lya kutoza hawatabiki nentu!”
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.
Yesu kaweriti kalivaga pakwegera na lisanduku lya luhanja. Kaweriti kankulola wantu wavuwa ntambu yawaweriti wankulavia mpiya na kuzitula muluhanja lwa Numba ngulu ya Mlungu. Walunda wavuwa walaviyiti mpiya zivuwa.
42 But there came one poor widow and dropped in two farthings, equal in value to a halfpenny.
Kiza mkenja mhushu kalaviya senti ndidika mbili zya mpiya.
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;
Panu Yesu kawashema wafundwa wakuwi, kawagambira, “Nukugambirani nakaka, mkenja muhushu ayu kalaviya zivuwa kuliku wamonga woseri yawatuliti mpiya mulisanduku lya luhanja.
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."
Mana woseri walaviya kulawilirana na shuma shashiyogizikiti, kumbiti mawu ayu, tembera mhushu, kalaviya vyoseri vyakaweriti navi, kalaviya kila shintu shakafiriti kwa kulikala.”
