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.
He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
2 He nako iswanera, chaka tumina muhikana kuva vyali ve veine kwiza kuhinda kuvali zimwi zihantu zo mwiwa lye veine.
When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 vava muhindi, kumundama, ni kumuvonza nikusena chimwi cha hindite.
They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Hape chavatumina zumwi muhikana, mi chiva muhorofaza mumutwi ni kumu nyandisa ahulu.
Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
5 Chatumina hape zumwi, mi uzu vavamwi hayi. Vava pangi vangi vamwi mwinzira iswana, kundama vamwi nikwi haya vamwi.
Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
6 Avali kusina yenke zumwi mutu wo kutumina, mwana yo sakiwa. Avali njiwa mamani-mani wava tumini kuvali. Mi nati, “Muvaka kuteke mwanangu.”
Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘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 farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8 Vava muwondi, kumwihaya niku mu zindira hanze lyewa lyeveine.
They took him, killed 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 the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Kamwini kuvala ili iñolo? 'Ivwe ilyo vazaki livava kani, livapangwa musumo.
Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner.
11 Ichi chivali kuzwa kwa Simwiine, mi chilotu mumenso entu.”'
This was from the Lord. It is marvelous 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.
They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him and went away.
13 Linu chivatumika vamwi vama Farisi niva Heroda kwali kuka mu cheesa cha manzwi.
They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
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?”
When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
15 Kono Jesu avali kwizi mwipo wavo ni kuwamba kuvali. “Chizi hamuni lika? Munitambike i koviri iri kuti ni lole haili.”
Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test 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.”
They brought it. 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 answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.
18 Linu va Saduki, vata kuti kakwina kuvuka kuvafwire, chiveza kwali. Chiva muvuza, nivati,
Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
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, ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
20 Ku vena vakwame vakwana iyanza nivovere; we intanzi cha hinda mukulwakazi kusesa mi nikufwa, kusiya kakwina mwana.
There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
21 Linu wovuveri cha hinda uzo mukulwakazi ni kufwa, kusiya kakwina mwana. Niwo vutatu naye ni kuswana.
The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
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 children. 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, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”
24 Jesu chawamba, Ili kajilyona ivaka hamupanga mafosisa, ka kuti ka mwizi mañolo kamba ziho ze Ireeza?
Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing 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 will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels 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 about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, 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. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
28 Zumwi wava ñoli cheza nikwiza kuzuwa ingambolo yavo; ava voni kuti Jesu avave tavi hande. Chamuvuza, “Jouhi mulao wina vutokwa hayonse?”
One of the scribes came and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”
29 Jesu chetava, “Ovu tokwa kuhitiliza jowu, 'Zuwe, Isiraele, Simwine Ireeza wetu, Simwine yenke.
Jesus answered, “The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
30 U swanera kusaka Simwine Ireeza wako che nkulo yako yonse, chemunahano wako onse, che mizezo yako yonse ni cheziho zako zonse.'
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
31 Ovuvere mulao jowu, 'Uswanera kusaka yo wikala hembali nawe uvu molisakira umwine'. Kakwina imwi milao mikando kuhita iyi.”
The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 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, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he;
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 to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings 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.
When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” No one dared ask him any question after that.
35 Mi Jesu chetava, yaho nakwete kuruta mwi tempere; chati, “Kwina vule kuti vañoli vawambe Keresite mwana wa Davinda?
Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ 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 said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
37 Davinda iyemwine umu supa kuti 'Simwine; cwale kuwoleka vule kuti Keresite ave mwana wa Davida?” Chisi chikando chivali kusangitwe ahulu kutekereza kwali.
Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.
38 Mututo zakwe Jesu ava wambi, “Mutokomere vañoli, vasaka ahulu kuyenda muzizwato zilele mi vasaka itumeriso ziva wana muzivaka zomusika
In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,
39 mi vasaka kuwana zipura zovulena muma sinangonge ni zivaka za malena ha mikiti.
and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts,
40 Miva vasinya mazuvo e mberwa, mi valapera itapero inde luli iri kuti vantu vavone. Ava vakwame kavatambule ikatulo ikando luli.”
those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive 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.
Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
42 Chikwakeza mukulwakazi avali kufwirirwe we mberwa nikwiza kuvika makoviri overe, alikana i shiriñi.
A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.
43 Mi chasupa varutwana vakwe ni kuva wambira, “Chovuniti ni miwambira, uzu mukulwakazi yasali wanini wa vikamo kuhita vonse vavika muchitanda che neo.
He called his disciples to himself and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,
44 Kakuti vonse vaha kuzwisa hachifumu chavo, kono kuzwa havunjebwe bwakwe, wavikamo onse mashereñi aswanera kuli hazikiza ho.”
for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”
