Mareka 12
1 Lyinu Jesu na tanga kuva ruta che inguli. Nati, “Mukwaame a va vyalite iwa lye feiga, cholu zakiriza, mi chasa ne chikomba choku kamwina iveine. Ava zaki itawala mi chatambika iwa kuva vyala iveine. Lyahanu iye chayenda mumusipili.
And he began to discourse with them in similitudes. A certain man planted a vineyard, and inclosed it with a hedge, and dug in it a wine vat, and built a tower in it, and put it into the hands of husbandmen, and removed to a distance.
2 He nako iswanera, chaka tumina muhikana kuva vyali ve veine kwiza kuhinda kuvali zimwi zihantu zo mwiwa lye veine.
And at the proper time, he sent his servant to the husbandmen, to receive of the fruits of the vineyard.
3 vava muhindi, kumundama, ni kumuvonza nikusena chimwi cha hindite.
And they beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Hape chavatumina zumwi muhikana, mi chiva muhorofaza mumutwi ni kumu nyandisa ahulu.
And again he sent to them another servant; and him also they stoned, and wounded, and sent him away under indignities.
5 Chatumina hape zumwi, mi uzu vavamwi hayi. Vava pangi vangi vamwi mwinzira iswana, kundama vamwi nikwi haya vamwi.
And again he sent another; and him they killed. And he sent many other servants, some of whom they beat, and some they killed.
6 Avali kusina yenke zumwi mutu wo kutumina, mwana yo sakiwa. Avali njiwa mamani-mani wava tumini kuvali. Mi nati, “Muvaka kuteke mwanangu.”
At last, having an only and dear son, he sent him to them; for he said, Perhaps they will respect my son.
7 Kono vavyali vewa chivali wambira zumwi ku zumwi, “Uzu njeye swana, Mwize, tumwi haye, mi chifumu muchive chetu.”
But those husbandmen said among themselves: This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.
8 Vava muwondi, kumwihaya niku mu zindira hanze lyewa lyeveine.
And they took him, and slew him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9 Linu, chizi chete apange mwine wewa lye veine? Mwakeze nikwiza kushinya babyali veveine ni kwiza kuha iwa lyeveine kuvamwi.
What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy those husbandmen, and transfer the vineyard to others.
10 Kamwini kuvala ili iñolo? 'Ivwe ilyo vazaki livava kani, livapangwa musumo.
And have ye not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, hath become the head of the corner:
11 Ichi chivali kuzwa kwa Simwiine, mi chilotu mumenso entu.”'
From the Lord, was this; and it is wonderful in our eyes?
12 Niva zeza kusumina Jesu, mi vavatiyite chinzi, ka kuti vavezi kuti ava wambi iyi nguli kutondeka avo. Chiva musiya ni kuliyendeza.
And they sought to apprehend him, but were afraid of the people; for they knew that he spoke this similitude against them. And they left him, and went away.
13 Linu chivatumika vamwi vama Farisi niva Heroda kwali kuka mu cheesa cha manzwi.
And they sent to him some of the Scribes and of the household of Herod, to ensnare him in discourse.
14 Mi havakeza, chiva wamba kwali, “Muruti, twizi kuti ko wina indava ne kuti muntu zumwe u tiinzi, mane hape u hinda vantu choku lyikana. U ruta cho vuniti inzira ye Ireeza. Kana mulao kuliha mutero kwa Sisare kamba vule? Tulihe kamba sanzi tulihi?”
And these came, and asked him: Teacher; we know that thou art veracious, and hast no fear of man; for thou regardest not the face of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give capitation money to Caesar; or not? Shall we give, or not give?
15 Kono Jesu avali kwizi mwipo wavo ni kuwamba kuvali. “Chizi hamuni lika? Munitambike i koviri iri kuti ni lole haili.”
And he knew their wile, and said to them: Why tempt ye me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
16 Chiva leta yonke kwa Jesu. Cha wamba kuvali, “Chiswaniso chani ichi ni ziñoletwe?” Chivati, Sisare.”
And they brought one to him. And he said to them: Whose is this image and inscription? They said to him: Caesar's.
17 Jesu chati, “Muhe kwa Sisare zintu zili za Sisare, ni kwe Ireeza zintu zili ze Ireeza.” Chava komokisa.
Jesus said to them: What is Caesar's, give to Caesar; and what is God's, give to God. And they wondered at him.
18 Linu va Saduki, vata kuti kakwina kuvuka kuvafwire, chiveza kwali. Chiva muvuza, nivati,
Then came to him Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection; and they asked him, and said:
19 “Muruti, Mushe ava tuñoleri, 'Haiva mukulwomuntu wa fwa ni kusiya muihyabwe, niku sena mwana, mwanche uswanera kuti a sese muka mukulwe, ne kumu zaalira vana.'
Teacher; Moses wrote to us, that if a man's brother die, and leave a widow, but leave no children, his brother shall take his widow, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 Ku vena vakwame vakwana iyanza nivovere; we intanzi cha hinda mukulwakazi kusesa mi nikufwa, kusiya kakwina mwana.
There were seven brothers: and the first took a wife, and died, and left no seed.
21 Linu wovuveri cha hinda uzo mukulwakazi ni kufwa, kusiya kakwina mwana. Niwo vutatu naye ni kuswana.
And the second took her, and died, and he also left no seed: and the third in like manner.
22 Mane ne woku mana iyaanza ne toovere na vula ku siya vaana. Ku mamanimani a teni mukulwaakazi naye choku fwa.
And the seven took her, and left no seed. Last of all, the woman also died.
23 Muku vuka kwa vafu, chiva vuka, ka yive mukani? Ka kuti vonse va mana iyaanza ne toovere vava musesi.”
In the resurrection, therefore, of which of them will she be the wife? For all the seven took her.
24 Jesu chawamba, Ili kajilyona ivaka hamupanga mafosisa, ka kuti ka mwizi mañolo kamba ziho ze Ireeza?
Jesus said to them: Is it not on this account that ye err, because ye understand not the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 Kakuti hateniva vuke kuvafwiire, kate niva sese kamba kusesiwa, kono kavaswane uvu mañiroyi mwi wulu.
For when they rise from the dead, they do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels that are in heaven.
26 Kono kuyamana nivafwire avo vete niva vunswe, kena muvavali mwimbuka ya Mushe, mwi ndava iyama chihumbu, vule Ireeza mwava wambiri kwali ni kuti, 'Jeme Ireeza wa Amburahama ni Ireeza wa Isaka ni Ireeza wa Jakovo?
But concerning the dead, that they rise, have ye not read in a book of Moses, how God said to him from the bush: I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
27 Kena ji Ireeza wava fwire, kono wavahala. Mwina muma fosisa.”
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Ye, therefore, do err greatly.
28 Zumwi wava ñoli cheza nikwiza kuzuwa ingambolo yavo; ava voni kuti Jesu avave tavi hande. Chamuvuza, “Jouhi mulao wina vutokwa hayonse?”
And one of the Scribes came, and heard them as they discussed, and he saw that he gave them an excellent answer; and he asked him, Which is the first of all the commandments?
29 Jesu chetava, “Ovu tokwa kuhitiliza jowu, 'Zuwe, Isiraele, Simwine Ireeza wetu, Simwine yenke.
Jesus said to him: The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord:
30 U swanera kusaka Simwine Ireeza wako che nkulo yako yonse, chemunahano wako onse, che mizezo yako yonse ni cheziho zako zonse.'
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy might. This is the first commandment.
31 Ovuvere mulao jowu, 'Uswanera kusaka yo wikala hembali nawe uvu molisakira umwine'. Kakwina imwi milao mikando kuhita iyi.”
And the second, which is like it, is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
32 Mu ñoli chati, 'Yowina hande, Muruti! Wawamba vuniti kuti Ireeza yenke, ni kuti kakwina zumwi kwanda yakwe.
The Scribe said to him: Excellently! Rabbi; thou hast spoken the truth; for he is one God, and there is no other beside him.
33 Ku musaka ni nkulo yako yonse ni kutwisiso yako yonse ni cheziho zako zonse, ni kusaka yowikala hembali nawe sina molisakira iwe umwine, mane ihita nagati ineo zokusumika ni zitavero.”
And for a man to love him, with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the might; and to love his neighbor, as himself; is better than all holocausts and sacrifices.
34 Linu Jesu havona kuti waha ikalavo yo vutali, chati kwali, “Kowina kule ni muvuso we Ireeza.”Hakumana zina, kakwina zumwi yava zezi kuvuza Jesu ipuzo hape.
And Jesus perceived that he replied wisely; and he answered, and said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared again to question him.
35 Mi Jesu chetava, yaho nakwete kuruta mwi tempere; chati, “Kwina vule kuti vañoli vawambe Keresite mwana wa Davinda?
And as Jesus was teaching in the temple, he answered and said: How can the Scribes say, that Messiah is the son of David?
36 Davinda iye mwine, mu Luhuho lu Njolola, avacho, wikale kwi nyanza lyangu lyechiliso, kusikira hate nini pangire vakulwisa maltatiro a matende a ko.'
For David himself saith, by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord; Seat thyself on my right hand, until I place thy enemies as a footstool beneath thy feet.
37 Davinda iyemwine umu supa kuti 'Simwine; cwale kuwoleka vule kuti Keresite ave mwana wa Davida?” Chisi chikando chivali kusangitwe ahulu kutekereza kwali.
David therefore calleth him " My Lord;" and how is he his son? And all the multitude heard him with pleasure.
38 Mututo zakwe Jesu ava wambi, “Mutokomere vañoli, vasaka ahulu kuyenda muzizwato zilele mi vasaka itumeriso ziva wana muzivaka zomusika
And he said to them in his teaching: Beware of the Scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and love the salutation in the streets,
39 mi vasaka kuwana zipura zovulena muma sinangonge ni zivaka za malena ha mikiti.
and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the chief couches at feasts.
40 Miva vasinya mazuvo e mberwa, mi valapera itapero inde luli iri kuti vantu vavone. Ava vakwame kavatambule ikatulo ikando luli.”
They devour the houses of widows, under pretence that they prolong their prayers. These shall receive a greater condemnation.
41 Linu Jesu chekala hansi kumbali ni ka tanda ke neo muchivaka che tempere; avali kukwete kulwera vantu chiva vika mashereñi avo muchitanda. Vungi vwava fumite vavali kuvika mashereñi mangi.
And as Jesus sat over against the treasury-room, he saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. And many rich ones cast in much.
42 Chikwakeza mukulwakazi avali kufwirirwe we mberwa nikwiza kuvika makoviri overe, alikana i shiriñi.
And a poor widow came, and cast in two mites, which are a brass farthing.
43 Mi chasupa varutwana vakwe ni kuva wambira, “Chovuniti ni miwambira, uzu mukulwakazi yasali wanini wa vikamo kuhita vonse vavika muchitanda che neo.
And Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: Verily I say to you, That this poor widow hath cast into the treasury more than all they that cast in.
44 Kakuti vonse vaha kuzwisa hachifumu chavo, kono kuzwa havunjebwe bwakwe, wavikamo onse mashereñi aswanera kuli hazikiza ho.”
For they all cast in of that which abounded to them, but she, of her poverty, hath cast in all that she possessed, the whole of her property.
