Matayo 22
1 Yesu ajobhili nabhu kabhele mu mifuanu, akajobha,
AND Jesus continuing his discourse, spake again to them in parables, saying,
2 “Bhufalme bhwa kumbinguni bhwighwaningana ni mfalme jha ajhandele sherehe jha harusi jha mwanabhe.
The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage-feast for his son:
3 Akabhatuma bhatumishi bha muene kubhakaribisya bhabhaalikibhu kuhida kusherehe jha harusi, lakini bhafiki lepi.
and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the entertainment: and they would not come.
4 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.”
Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who have been invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and the fatlings are killed, and all things are ready; come unto the marriage-feast.
5 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.
But they gave themselves no concern about it, and went their several ways, one to his own farm, and another to his traffick:
6 Bhangi bhabhajhinukili bhatumishi bha mfalme ni kubhaaibisya ni kubhakhoma.
And the rest seizing his servants, insulted and slew them.
7 Lakini mfalme adadili. Atumili jeshi lya muene, akabhakoma bhala bhakomaji ni kubhukosya mji ghwa bhene ni muoto.
Then the king, when he heard it, was incensed: and sending out his armies, destroyed these murderers, and burnt down their city.
8 Kisha akabhajobhela bhatumishi bha muene, “Harusi iyele tayari, lakini bhabhaalikibhu bhalondekeghe lepi.
Then he said to his servants, The wedding entertainment indeed is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy:
9 Henu mulotayi ku makutano gha njhela mbaha, mubhaalikayi bhanu bhingi kadiri kya jhilondeka bhahidai ku sherehe jha harusi.”
go therefore into the thoroughfares of the roads, and as many as ye find, invite to the banquet.
10 Bhatumishi bhakalota njhela mbaha ni kubhakaribisya bhanu bhoha bhabhabhuene, bhema ni au bhanofu ni bhabhibhi. Henu bhukumbi bhwa harusi bhwa memili bhahesya.
So these servants going out into the roads, collected all, as many as they found, both bad and good; and the wedding feast was fully furnished with guests.
11 Lakini mfalme bho ajhingili kubhalanga bhahesya ambwene munu mmonga ambajhe afwali lepi ligwanda rasmi lya harusi!
Then the king coming in to look around on the guests, saw there a man who had not put on the wedding garment:
12 Mfalme akan'kota, 'Ndongo bhangu, ghwabhwesi bhuli kufika apa mugati bila ligwanda lya harusi?' Na munu ojhu an'jibili lepi khenu kyokyoha khela.
and he saith to him, Friend, how came thou in here, not having the garment provided for the marriage feast? And he was speechless.
13 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.
Then said the king to the servants, Bind his feet and hands, and take him away, and cast him into the darkness, which is without; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 Kwa kujha bhanu bhingi bhikutibhwa, lakini bhateule bhadebe.”
For many are called, but few elect.
15 Ndipo Mafarisayo bhakabhoka ni kupanga jinsi jha kun'kamula Yesu mu malobhi gha muene.
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel together how they might lay a snare to entrap him in his discourse.
16 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.
And they sent to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God with veracity; and carest for no man, for thou regardest not the person of men:
17 Henu tujobhilayi ghwifikilila kiki? Je, bhukweli kulepa kodi kwa Kaisari au lepi?”
tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to pay tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 Yesu akamanya bhuovu bhwa bhene na akajobha, “Kwandabha jhakiki mkanijaribu, muenga bhanafiki?
But Jesus knew their wicked design, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Mimilasiayi hela jhejhitumika kulep'hela kodi.” Ndipo bhakandetela dinari.
Shew me the money for the tribute; and they brought him a denarius.
20 Yesu akabhakhota, “Sura ni lihina ele lya niani?”
And he saith unto them, Whose figure is this and inscription?
21 Bhakan'jibu, “fya Kaisari.” Ndipo Yesu akabhajobhela, “Mumpelayi Kaisari fenu fyafijhele fya muene ni fya K'yara mumpelayi K'yara.”
They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he to them, Render therefore to Caesar, the things which are Caesar’s; and to God, the things which are God’s.
22 Bho bhap'heliki naha bhakashangala. Kisha bhakandeka ni kwilotela.
And when they heard him, they marvelled, and leaving him, went away.
23 Ligono elu baadhi jha Masadukayo bhakahida kwa Yesu, bhala bhabhijobha kujha bhujhelepi bhufufuo bhwa bhafu. Bhakan'kota,
On the same day the Sadducees came to him, who say, that there is no resurrection, and they put a question to him,
24 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.
saying, Master, Moses said, “If a man die having no children, his brother in right of affinity shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.”
25 Bhajhele bhalongo saba. ghwa kuanda agegili na kisha afuili bila kuhogola bhana. Akandekela n'dala ndongomunu.
Now there were with us seven brothers; and the first marrying, died, and had no offspring, and left his wife to his brother;
26 Kisha ndongomunu ghwa pili nu muene aketili mebhu, kisha yola ghwa tatu, ikajha mebhu hadi jhola ghwa saba.
likewise the second also; then the third; so on to the seven.
27 Baada jha kubhomba aghu bhoha, yola n'dala nu muene akafwa.
Last of all the woman died also.
28 Henu katika bhufufuo n'dala ojhu ibetakujha n'dala ghwa niani kati jha bhanu abhu saba? Kwa ndabha bhoha bhan'gegili.”
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Lakini Yesu abhajibili ni kubhajobhela, “Mwikosela, kwa ndabha mumanyilepi mayandiku ni nghofu sya K'yara.
Jesus then answering, said unto them, Ye are in an error, from not knowing the Scriptures, and the power of God.
30 Kwa kujha mu bhufufuo, bhanu bhigega lepi bhwala kugegikibhwa. Badala jhiaki bhanu bhijha kama malaika okhu kumbinguni.
For at the resurrection, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 Lakini kuhusu bhufufuo bhwa bhafu, mubhwayi lepi kusoma khela ambakyo K'yara akijobhili kwa muenga, ajobhili,
But with respect to the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read what was spoken to you of God, saying,
32 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.'”
“I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?” God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 Bhwakati likusanyiku bho bhapeliki ele, bhaghasyangele mafundiso agha muene.
And when the multitude heard it, they were amazingly struck with his doctrine.
34 Lakini Mafarisayo bho bhapheliki kujha Yesu abhagudamisi Masadukayo, bhakibhongeniye bhoha kwa pamonga.
But the Pharisees hearing that he had stopped the Sadducees’ mouths, they assembled together:
35 Mmonga ghwa bhene, ajhele mwana sheria, an'kotili liswali kwa kun'jaribu.
and one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, to make trial of him, and said,
36 “Mwalimu, amri jheleku ijhele mbaha kuliko syoha mu sheria?”
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Yesu akan'jibu, “Lazima un'ganayi Bwana kwa n'tema ghuoha ghwa bhebhe, kwa roho jhiakhu jhioha ni kwa luhala lwakhu luoha.
Then Jesus said to him, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.”
38 Ejhe ndo amri mbaha na jha kuanza.
This is the first and great commandment.
39 Na jha bhubhele jhiwaningana ni ejhu- Ni lazima kun'gana jirani ghwa jhobhi kama kyawikigana ghwa muene.
And the second is like to it, “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”
40 Sheria syoha ni manabii bhitegemela amri ese sibhele.”
On these two commandments, the whole law and the prophets depend.
41 Ni Mafarisayo bhajhele bhakona bhakusanyiki pamonga, Yesu akabhakota liswali.
The Pharisees being then assembled, Jesus put a question to them,
42 Akajobha, “Je, Mwifikirila kiki kwa ndabha jha Kristu? Muene muana ghwa niani?” Nibhene bhakan'jibu, “Ni muana ghwa Daudi.”
saying, What think ye of the Messiah, whose son is he? They say unto him, David’s.
43 Yesu akabhajibu, “Ni kwa namna gani Daudi mu Roho akan'kuta Bwana, akajobha,
He saith unto them, How then doth David by the Spirit call him Lord? saying,
44 'Bwana an'jobhili Bwana bhangu, “Tamayi kibhokho kya nene kyakulia, hadi panibetakubhabhomba maadui bhakhu bhabhekibhuayi pasi pa magolo gha jhobhi.”'?”
“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put thine enemies as a footstool for thy feet.”
45 Kama Daudi akan'kuta Kristu “Bwana,” jinsi jhelekhu ibetakujha mwanamunu?”
If then David calleth him Lord, how is he his son?
46 Ajhelepi jhaabhwesili kunjibu lilobhi kabhele, na ajhele lepi jhaathubutuwili kabhele kun'kota maswali zaidi tangia ligono elu ni kujhandelela.
And no man could answer him a word, neither durst any man, from that day, interrogate him any more.
