Matthew 22
1 Again Jesus spoke to them in figurative language.
Yesu ajobhili nabhu kabhele mu mifuanu, akajobha,
2 "The Kingdom of the Heavens," He said, "may be compared to a king who celebrated the marriage of his son,
“Bhufalme bhwa kumbinguni bhwighwaningana ni mfalme jha ajhandele sherehe jha harusi jha mwanabhe.
3 and sent his servants to call the invited guests to the wedding, but they were unwilling to come.
Akabhatuma bhatumishi bha muene kubhakaribisya bhabhaalikibhu kuhida kusherehe jha harusi, lakini bhafiki lepi.
4 "Again he sent other servants with a message to those who were invited. "'My breakfast is now ready," he said, 'my bullocks and fat cattle are killed, and every preparation is made: come to the wedding.'
Mfalme abhatumili kabhele bhatumishi bhangi, akajobha. “Mubhajobhilayi bhoha bhabhaalikibhu, Mulangayi, niandele kyakulya. Fahali ni litoli lyanene lya linenipi bhachinjili ni mambo ghoha ghayele tayari, Muhidayi ku sherehe jha harusi.”
5 "They however gave no heed, but went, one to his home in the country, another to his business;
Lakini bhanu abhu bhazingatili lepi kwa dhati mualiko bhwa muene. Baadhi jha bhene bhakherebhuiki mu mig'onda ghya bhene, ni bhangi bhakherebhuiki mu sehemu sya biashara sya bhene.
6 and the rest seized the king's servants, maltreated them, and murdered them.
Bhangi bhabhajhinukili bhatumishi bha mfalme ni kubhaaibisya ni kubhakhoma.
7 So the king's anger was stirred, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burnt their city.
Lakini mfalme adadili. Atumili jeshi lya muene, akabhakoma bhala bhakomaji ni kubhukosya mji ghwa bhene ni muoto.
8 Then he said to his servants, "'The wedding banquet is ready, but those who were invited were unworthy of it.
Kisha akabhajobhela bhatumishi bha muene, “Harusi iyele tayari, lakini bhabhaalikibhu bhalondekeghe lepi.
9 Go out therefore to the crossroads, and everybody you meet invite to the wedding.'
Henu mulotayi ku makutano gha njhela mbaha, mubhaalikayi bhanu bhingi kadiri kya jhilondeka bhahidai ku sherehe jha harusi.”
10 "So they went out into the roads and gathered together all they could find, both bad and good, and the banqueting hall was filled with guests.
Bhatumishi bhakalota njhela mbaha ni kubhakaribisya bhanu bhoha bhabhabhuene, bhema ni au bhanofu ni bhabhibhi. Henu bhukumbi bhwa harusi bhwa memili bhahesya.
11 "Now the king came in to see the guests; and among them he discovered one who was not wearing a wedding-robe.
Lakini mfalme bho ajhingili kubhalanga bhahesya ambwene munu mmonga ambajhe afwali lepi ligwanda rasmi lya harusi!
12 "'My friend,' he said, 'how is it that you came in here without a wedding robe?'
Mfalme akan'kota, 'Ndongo bhangu, ghwabhwesi bhuli kufika apa mugati bila ligwanda lya harusi?' Na munu ojhu an'jibili lepi khenu kyokyoha khela.
13 "The man stood speechless. Then the king said to the servants, "'Bind him hand and foot and fling him into the darkness outside: there will be the weeping aloud and the gnashing of teeth.'
Ndipo mfalme akabhajobhela bhatumishi bha muene, “Mun'kongoyi munu ojho mabhoko ni magolo mun'taghai kwibhala mu kitila, ekhu ambako kubeta kujha ni kilelu ni kusiagha minu.
14 "For there are many called, but few chosen."
Kwa kujha bhanu bhingi bhikutibhwa, lakini bhateule bhadebe.”
15 Then the Pharisees went and consulted together how they might entrap Him in His conversation.
Ndipo Mafarisayo bhakabhoka ni kupanga jinsi jha kun'kamula Yesu mu malobhi gha muene.
16 So they sent to Him their disciples together with the Herodians; who said, "Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you faithfully teach God's truth; and that no fear of man misleads you, for you are not biased by men's wealth or rank.
Ndipo bhakabhatuma bhanafunzi bha bhene ni Maherode. Na bhakan'jobhela Yesu, “Mwalimu, tumanyili kujobha bhebhe ndo munu ghwa bhukweli, na ghwimanyisya matakwa gha Mungu mu bhukweli. Ghwijali lepi maoni gha munu jhongi na ghwilasya lepi bhupendelelu kwa bhanu.
17 Give us your judgement therefore: is it allowable for us to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?"
Henu tujobhilayi ghwifikilila kiki? Je, bhukweli kulepa kodi kwa Kaisari au lepi?”
18 Perceiving their wickedness, Jesus replied, "Why are you hypocrites trying to ensnare me?
Yesu akamanya bhuovu bhwa bhene na akajobha, “Kwandabha jhakiki mkanijaribu, muenga bhanafiki?
19 Show me the tribute coin." And they brought Him a shilling.
Mimilasiayi hela jhejhitumika kulep'hela kodi.” Ndipo bhakandetela dinari.
20 "Whose likeness and inscription," He asked, "is this?"
Yesu akabhakhota, “Sura ni lihina ele lya niani?”
21 "Caesar's," they replied. "Pay therefore," He rejoined, "what is Caesar's to Caesar; and what is God's to God."
Bhakan'jibu, “fya Kaisari.” Ndipo Yesu akabhajobhela, “Mumpelayi Kaisari fenu fyafijhele fya muene ni fya K'yara mumpelayi K'yara.”
22 They heard this, and were astonished; then left Him, and went their way.
Bho bhap'heliki naha bhakashangala. Kisha bhakandeka ni kwilotela.
23 On the same day a party of Sadducees came to Him, contending that there is no resurrection. And they put this case to Him.
Ligono elu baadhi jha Masadukayo bhakahida kwa Yesu, bhala bhabhijobha kujha bhujhelepi bhufufuo bhwa bhafu. Bhakan'kota,
24 "Teacher," they said, "Moses enjoined, 'If a man die childless, his brother shall marry his widow, and raise up a family for him.'
bhakajhabhijobha, “Mwalimu, Musa ajobhili, Ikajhiyi munu afuili bila kuhogola bhana, ndongo munu na andisiayi n'dala ojhu na ampelayi muana kwa ndabha jha ndongo munu.
25 Now we had among us seven brothers. The eldest of them married, but died childless, leaving his wife to his brother.
Bhajhele bhalongo saba. ghwa kuanda agegili na kisha afuili bila kuhogola bhana. Akandekela n'dala ndongomunu.
26 So also did the second and the third, down to the seventh,
Kisha ndongomunu ghwa pili nu muene aketili mebhu, kisha yola ghwa tatu, ikajha mebhu hadi jhola ghwa saba.
27 till the woman also died, after surviving them all.
Baada jha kubhomba aghu bhoha, yola n'dala nu muene akafwa.
28 At the Resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be? for they all married her."
Henu katika bhufufuo n'dala ojhu ibetakujha n'dala ghwa niani kati jha bhanu abhu saba? Kwa ndabha bhoha bhan'gegili.”
29 The reply of Jesus was, "You are in error, through ignorance of the Scriptures and of the power of God.
Lakini Yesu abhajibili ni kubhajobhela, “Mwikosela, kwa ndabha mumanyilepi mayandiku ni nghofu sya K'yara.
30 For in the Resurrection, men neither marry nor are women given in marriage, but they are like angels in Heaven.
Kwa kujha mu bhufufuo, bhanu bhigega lepi bhwala kugegikibhwa. Badala jhiaki bhanu bhijha kama malaika okhu kumbinguni.
31 But as to the Resurrection of the dead, have you never read what God says to you,
Lakini kuhusu bhufufuo bhwa bhafu, mubhwayi lepi kusoma khela ambakyo K'yara akijobhili kwa muenga, ajobhili,
32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of dead, but of living men."
Nene ndo K'yara ghwa Ibrahimu, K'yara ghwa Isaka, na K'yara ghwa Yakobo? K'yara si K'yara ghwa bhafu, bali ni K'yara ghwa bhajhe bhasima.'”
33 All the crowd heard this, and were filled with amazement at His teaching.
Bhwakati likusanyiku bho bhapeliki ele, bhaghasyangele mafundiso agha muene.
34 Now the Pharisees came up when they heard that He had silenced the Sadducees,
Lakini Mafarisayo bho bhapheliki kujha Yesu abhagudamisi Masadukayo, bhakibhongeniye bhoha kwa pamonga.
35 and one of them, an expounder of the Law, asked Him as a test question,
Mmonga ghwa bhene, ajhele mwana sheria, an'kotili liswali kwa kun'jaribu.
36 "Teacher, which is the greatest Commandment in the Law?"
“Mwalimu, amri jheleku ijhele mbaha kuliko syoha mu sheria?”
37 "'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God,'" He answered, "'with thy whole heart, thy whole soul, thy whole mind.'
Yesu akan'jibu, “Lazima un'ganayi Bwana kwa n'tema ghuoha ghwa bhebhe, kwa roho jhiakhu jhioha ni kwa luhala lwakhu luoha.
38 This is the greatest and foremost Commandment.
Ejhe ndo amri mbaha na jha kuanza.
39 And the second is similar to it: 'Thou shalt love thy fellow man as much as thyself.'
Na jha bhubhele jhiwaningana ni ejhu- Ni lazima kun'gana jirani ghwa jhobhi kama kyawikigana ghwa muene.
40 The whole of the Law and the Prophets is summed up in these two Commandments."
Sheria syoha ni manabii bhitegemela amri ese sibhele.”
41 While the Pharisees were still assembled there, Jesus put a question to them.
Ni Mafarisayo bhajhele bhakona bhakusanyiki pamonga, Yesu akabhakota liswali.
42 "What think you about the Christ," He said, "whose son is He?" "David's," they replied.
Akajobha, “Je, Mwifikirila kiki kwa ndabha jha Kristu? Muene muana ghwa niani?” Nibhene bhakan'jibu, “Ni muana ghwa Daudi.”
43 "How then," He asked, "does David, taught by the Spirit, call Him Lord, when he says,
Yesu akabhajibu, “Ni kwa namna gani Daudi mu Roho akan'kuta Bwana, akajobha,
44 "'The Lord said to my Lord, sit at My right hand until I have put thy foes beneath thy feet'?
'Bwana an'jobhili Bwana bhangu, “Tamayi kibhokho kya nene kyakulia, hadi panibetakubhabhomba maadui bhakhu bhabhekibhuayi pasi pa magolo gha jhobhi.”'?”
45 "If therefore David calls Him Lord, how can He be his son?"
Kama Daudi akan'kuta Kristu “Bwana,” jinsi jhelekhu ibetakujha mwanamunu?”
46 No one could say a word in reply, nor from that day did any one venture again to put a question to Him.
Ajhelepi jhaabhwesili kunjibu lilobhi kabhele, na ajhele lepi jhaathubutuwili kabhele kun'kota maswali zaidi tangia ligono elu ni kujhandelela.
