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.
Kayi Yesu walatatika kwamba kulyendibo mu mikoshanyo, walambeti, “Palikuba muntu naumbi walalima libala lya minyansa. walebaka luba kushunguluka libala, walemba cisengu cakutyaninamo minyansa ne kwibaka lupingwe. Libala ili walalibwelekesha ku balimi, nendi walaya kucishi cimbi.
2 At vintage-time he sent one of his servants to receive from the vine-dressers a share of the grapes.
Mpocalashika cindi ca kutebula, mwine libala walatuma musebenshi wakendi ku balimi mbwalabwelekesha, kwambeti bamupeko bisepo bya mulibala lisa.
3 But they seized him, beat him cruelly and sent him away empty-handed.
Nomba nabo balamwikata, ne kumuma ne kumutandanya, walabwelelako wabula ciliconse mu makasa.
4 Again he sent to them another servant: and as for him, they wounded him in the head and treated him shamefully.
Mwine libala walatumako kayi musebenshi wakendi naumbi. Nomba uyu balamutoba luma mu mutwi ne kumucobola cipesha nsoni.
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.
Kayi mwine libala walatumako naumbi, uyu balamushina. Kayi walatumako nabambi nabo balabauma, kayi nabambi balashina.
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.'
Kwalashala muntu umo, mwanendi ngwalikusuna cikamba. Pakupwililisha mwine libala usa walatumako mwanendi,” Ne kwambeti, “Mwaname nibenga bamupe bulemu.”
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.'
Nomba nabo balimi balatatika kumufwiya ne kwambeti, “Uyu endiye eshakapyane buboni bwa baishi, neco katumushinani kwambeti bukabe bwetu,
8 "So they took him and killed him, and flung his body outside the vineyard.
Balamutanya, ne kumushina, ne kumuwala kunsa kwa luba lwa libala.”
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."
“Inga mwine libala nakenseconi? Lakenga kubashina balimi bonse ne kubwelekesha libala lyakendi kubalimi nabambi.”
10 "Have you not read even this passage," He added, "'The stone which the builders rejected has become the Cornerstone:
Sena nkamuna mubelengapo Mabala alambangeti, “Libwe lya candanshi ndyebalakana Beshikwibaka, Lyalaba libwe lyayandika Kupita onse.
11 this Cornerstone came from the Lord, and is wonderful in our esteem?'"
Mwami mwine elacinshi, Kayi cakondelesha pakucibona?”
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.
Balelekesha kucana nshila ya kumwikatilamo, nomba balatina kufula kwa bantu, pakwinga balenshibeti wambangendibo mumukoshanyo, nomba balamushiya Yesu ne kuya.
13 Their next step was to send to Him some of the Pharisees and of Herod's partisans to entrap Him in conversation.
Bafalisi nabambi ne ba mucipani ca Helodi balatumwa kuli Yesu kwambeti bamutape mukwamba kwakendi.
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?
Mpobalashika kuli Yesu balambeti, “Bashikwiyisha tucinshi, kwambeti mukute kwamba cakubinga, kayi nkamukute kubona cilikunsa kwa muntu, nkamukute kusakamaneti uyu niyani, nsombi mukute kwiyisha nshila ya Lesa mwancine ncine, Sena kusonka musonko ku mwami wa ku Loma casuminishiwa nambi sobwe?”
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."
“Tusonkenga misonko nambi sobwe?” Yesu pakubenshiba bundenga mano bwabo, walabambileti, “Ingamulanjelekeshelenga cani? Kamundetelani lyali ndilibone.”
16 They brought one; and He asked them, "Whose is this likeness and this inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied.
Balamutambika lyali, Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga cintimbwi cilipa lyali, ne walembapo niyani?” Balamukumbuleti “Ni ca Mwami waku Loma.”
17 "What is Caesar's," replied Jesus, "pay to Caesar--and what is God's, pay to God." And they wondered exceedingly at Him.
Neco Yesu walabambileti, “Mupeni Mwami waku Loma bintu byakendi, nendi Lesa mupeni bintu byakendi.” Nomba balakankamana ne kwamba kulico.
18 Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.
Basaduki nabambi batashomo sha kupunduka kubafu balesa kuli Yesu ne kwambeti,
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.'
“Bashikwiyisha, Mose walatulembela afwe kwambeti na muntu ufwa ushiya mukashi enka wabula mwana, kanike wakendi shikufwa amwebe mukalubingi ne kusemenamo bana mu mulamu wakendi mucimo ca mukwabo
20 There were once seven brothers, the eldest of whom married a wife, but at his death left no family.
Lino palikuba batuloba basanu ne babili pabukwabo. Mukulene bantu waleba mukashi, nsombi walafwa kwa kubula kushiyapo bana,
21 The second married her, and died, leaving no family; and the third did the same.
mukwabo wamukonkapo walamweba mukalubingi, neye walafwa katana asemenamo mwana. Calenshika copeleco ku mukwabo wa butatu.
22 And so did the rest of the seven, all dying childless. Finally the woman also died.
Walebwa kuli umo ne umo wa bonse basanu ne babili, nsombi bonse balafwa kwakubula kusemenamo bana, panyuma pakendi neye mukashi uyu walafwa.
23 At the Resurrection whose wife will she be? For they all seven married her."
Lino bantu bakapundukanga kubafu nakabe mukashi wa bani? Pakwinga bonse basanu ne babili balamwebapo?”
24 "Is not this the cause of your error," replied Jesus--"your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
Yesu walabakumbuleti, Sena ici nteco cilapeshengeti mulubile cakwinseti mubule kwinshiba Mabala ne ngofu sha Lesa?
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.
Pakwinga bantu beti bakapunduke kubafu nteti bakebenga nambi kwebwa, pakwinga nibakabengeti bangelo ba kwilu.
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?'
Na nimakani akwambeti sena bafwa nibakapunduke, sena muliya kubelengapo muli buku lya Mose mpalikwamba sha cifukusa calikubangila mulilo? Lesa mpwalambila Mose eti, “Ame njame Lesa wa Abulahamu, Lesa wa Isake, kayi Lesa wa Yakobo.
27 He is not the God of dead, but of living men. You are in grave error."
Nte Lesa wa bantu bafwa, nsombi wa bayumi, mwalubila kwine!”
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?"
Umo wa beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose walabanyumfwa kabakangana umo ne munendi. Kayi pakuboneti Yesu labakumbulu cakubinga ba Saduki, walamwipusha Yesu eti, “Inga nimulawo upeyo utanshi kupita yonse?”
29 "The chief Commandment," replied Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;
Yesu walamukumbuleti, Mulawo utanshi ni wakwambeti, “Kamunyumfwani amwe Baislayeli, Mwami Lesa wetu, eMwami umo enka bulyo walibela.
30 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind, and thy whole strength.'
Neco suna Mwami Lesa wakobe ne moyo wakobe wonse, ne mushimu wakobe onse, ne manjeyaulwa akobe onse, kayi ne ngofu shakobe shonse.”
31 "The second is this: 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as thou lovest thyself.' "Other Commandment greater than these there is none."
Mulawo watubili ni wakwambeti, “Suna munobe mbuli ncolisuni omwine, Paliya mulawo wapita pa milawo ibili iyi sobwe.”
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;
Shikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose walamwambila Yesu, eti “Ncomulamba Bashikwiyisha nicakubinga, Ee pali Lesa umo enka, paliya naumbi sobwe nsombi enka bulyo.
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."
Nomba kusuna Lesa ne moyo wakobe wonse ne buyumi bwakobe bonse ne manjeyaulwa akobe onse, kayi ne ngofu shakobe shonse, ne kusuna bantu banobe mbuli ncolisuni, kulayandikinga kupita kutwala milumbo ya banyama ne milumbo naimbi kuli Lesa.”
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 pakwinshibeti lakumbulu camano, walamwambileti, “Obe nkolipo kutali ne Bwami bwa Lesa sobwe.” Neco bonse balaba ne buyowa, neco bonse balatina bamwipusha Yesu mwipusho naumbi.
35 But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?
Yesu mpwalikwiyisha Mung'anda ya Lesa, walepusheti, Inga beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose ngabambeconi eti Klistu nimwanendi Dafeti?
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.'
Kakuli Dafeti mwine pakutanguninwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, walambeti, Mwami Lesa walamba kuli mwami wakame, eti kwesa wikale ku cikasa calulyo cabulemu, mpaka nkababike balwani bakobe panshi pa myendo yakobe.
37 "David himself calls Him 'Lord:' how then can He be his son?" And the mass of people found pleasure in listening to Jesus.
Dafeti mwine walamwambeti, “Mwami” Ngobaconi mwanendi Dafeti? Likoto lyabantu balikumunyumfwa Yesu mwakukondwa.
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 mpwalikwiyisha, walambeti, “Cetukani ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose, basuna kwendana kabali muminganjo yalelemba nekuyanda kupewa mitende yabulemu mu misena ya makwebo,
39 and to occupy the best seats in the synagogues and at dinner parties,
bakute kuyanda kwikala pa bipuna byakuntangu mung'anda ya kupaililamo, ne mumisena ya bulemu musena yamalyalya.
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."
Aba bantu ebakute kupwisha buboni bwa bamukalubingi, nekulibonesheti bantu balulama mumipailo yabo itali itali, aba bantu nibakatambule lombolosho lunene!”
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.
Kayi Yesu mpwalekala pepi ne kabokoshi bantu nkobalikubikamo mali mung'anda kupaililamo, walikalangishisha bantu ncobalikubikamo mali. Abo balikuba ne buboni balikubikamo mali angi,
42 But there came one poor widow and dropped in two farthings, equal in value to a halfpenny.
Palashika mukalubingi mupenshi, nendi walabikamo tumali tubili twa mukuba.
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;
Neco walakuwa beshikwiya bakendi nekubambileti, cakubinga ndamwambilinga, mukalubingi mupenshi uyu labikimo mali angi kupita ngobalabikimo bonse.
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."
Pakwinga bonse batapulanga pa mali apitilila pa mali ngobakute kusebensesha, nsombi nendi mubupenshi bwakendi labikimo mali ngwakutenga onka mung'anda, ebwanga buyumi bwakendi.
