Mateu 22
1 Jeeso cheza kuwamba nabo hape che nguli, chati',
Then Iesus answered, and spake vnto them againe in parables, saying,
2 “Muvuso we wulu uswana uvu zumwi simwine ya va lukisi mukiti we seso lya mwanakwe wa mwanaswisu,
The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine King which maried his sonne,
3 Chatuma va hikana vakwe ku ka sumpa avo va valayezwe, kono kena vaveza.
And sent foorth his seruants, to call them that were bidde to the wedding, but they woulde not come.
4 Hape simwine neza ku tuma vamwi vahikana, nati, 'Mukava wambile valayezwa, “Vone, china lukisa mulalilo wangu. Mapulu ne tunamani twangu tununine chi ze haiwa, mi zintu zonse zi shiyeme. Muize ku mukiti we seso.”
Againe hee sent foorth other seruants, saying. Tell them which are bidden, Beholde, I haue prepared my dinner: mine oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all thinges are readie: come vnto the mariage.
5 Kono avo kena va vatekerezi cho ku tokomera nanga kanini chivaliyendeza kwabo, zumwi kwiwa lyakwe, naye zumwi ku zimpangaliko zakwe.
But they made light of it, and went their wayes, one to his farme, and another about his marchandise.
6 Vungi bwavo chiva hindeka vahikana va simwine nikuva fwisa insoni, mi ni kuvehaya.
And the remnant tooke his seruants, and intreated them sharpely, and slewe them.
7 Mi simwine na venga. Choku tumina chisole chakwe, ku ihaya vehayi mi choku ka sumika munzi mukando wavo.
But when the King heard it, he was wroth, and sent foorth his warriers, and destroyed those murtherers, and burnt vp their citie.
8 Mi na wamba ku vahikana vakwe ku tewa, 'mukiti we iseso u lukite, kono va valalezwa kena va vaku swanere.
Then saide hee to his seruants, Truely the wedding is prepared: but they which were bidden, were not worthy.
9 Mi paho, muyende munzira ziwukite mwishira mi muka meme vantu cho vungi ku mukiti we iseso mumu wolyera.'
Go ye therefore out into the high wayes, and as many as ye finde, bid them to the mariage.
10 Mi vahikana niva yenda kuya vu kunganyana vantu vava vaka wani, vonse va sa shiyeme ni va shiyeme. Lyinu chivaka cho mukiti ni che zuzwa ne vayezi.
So those seruantes went out into the hie wayes, and gathered together all that euer they found, both good and bad: so the wedding was furnished with ghestes.
11 Kono simwine inge za kulola vaenzi, chavona mukwame yasena avazwete zi zwato za mukiti,
Then the King came in, to see the ghestes, and sawe there a man which had not on a wedding garment.
12 Simwine chati kwali, 'Mulikani, hape wenjira vule munu nosa zwete zizwato za mukiti we seso?' Mukwame chavula chiambo.
And he sayd vnto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, and hast not on a wedding garment? And he was speachlesse.
13 Lyinu simwine nawambira vahikana, 'Mu hambe uzu mukwame ku manza ni matende, mu musohele mukelima, uko kwina ku vokolola ne kulila inkunkuma.'
Then sayd the King to the seruants, Binde him hand and foote: take him away, and cast him into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 Kakuli vangi va sumpitwe kono va che va salyitwa.”
For many are called, but fewe chosen.
15 Lyinu va farasai chiveza kuzeza ni ku zuminzana muvawolela kumu teyera Jeeso kaswa mu ziambo zakwe.
Then went the Pharises and tooke counsell how they might tangle him in talke.
16 Ni chi va mutuminiza valutwana vavo, ku kopanya vulyo ne maheroda. Choku wamba ne Jesu, “Muruti twizi kuti wina initi, mi uluta inzira ye Ireeza cho vusakusima. Ko tekerezi ku minahano yo muntu, mane kotondezi isobozi mukati ka vantu.
And they sent vnto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we knowe that thou art true, and teachest the way of God truely, neither carest for any man: for thou considerest not the person of men.
17 Lyinu tulwile, u zeza vulye? Cho mulao ku woleka ku liha mutelo kwa Kaishara kamba vule?”
Tell vs therefore, how thinkest thou? Is it lawfull to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or not?
18 Kono Jeeso na lemuha ku fosahala kwavo mi choku wamba kuti, “Chinzi ha mu nilika unwe, unwe va itimukanyi?
But Iesus perceiued their wickednes, and sayd, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Mu ni tondeze vuwayawaya vo mutelo.” Mi avo choku leta vuwayawaya kwali.
Shewe me the tribute money. And they brought him a peny.
20 Jeeso na wamba kubalyi kuti, “Chiswaniso ne izina lyani izi?”
And he sayde vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 chi vati njiza Kaishara. “Jeeso cho ku wamba kuti, muhe Kaishara zintu za Kaishara, ne Ireeza zintu ze Ireeza.
They sayd vnto him, Cesars. Then sayd he vnto them, Giue therefore to Cesar, the things which are Cesars, and giue vnto God, those things which are Gods.
22 Chinga va zuwa mu wambilo wakwe choku komokwa. Mi choku mu siya ni vakaya.
And when they heard it, they marueiled, and left him, and went their way.
23 Cholo lu zuva vamwi va Vasadukayi, va valyi kucho kuti ka kwiina ku vuuka kwa vafu ni beza kwali.
The same day the Sadduces came to him (which say that there is no resurrection) and asked him,
24 Choku mu vuza kuti, “Muruti, Mushe ava wambi, 'Haiva mukwame wa fwa na sena vaana, mwanchakwe u lukele ku sesa mwi hyabwe choku zalila mukulwakwe vahwile.
Saying, Master, Moses sayd, If a man die, hauing no children, his brother shall marie his wife by the right of alliance, and raise vp seede vnto his brother.
25 Kuvena vanaswisu va va kumana iyanza ni tovele. We ntazi a va sesi cho ku fwa, Cho ku siya muihabwe ku mwanche.
Nowe there were with vs seuen brethren, and the first maried a wife, and deceased: and hauing none yssue, left his wife vnto his brother.
26 Mi mwanche yo mu ichilila cho ku panga chintu chi swana, ne wo vutatu mane ne ku twala ku woku mana iyanza ne tovele.
Likewise also the second, and the third, vnto the seuenth.
27 Chinga va mana ku fwa bonse, mukulwakazi naye choku fwaa.
And last of all the woman died also.
28 Lyinu ku inako yo ku vuka, kaave mukulwakazi wani kwava va vaanaswisu va mana iyanza ni tovele? Ka kuti vonse va va musesi?”
Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seuen? for all had her.
29 Mi Jeeso na ve taba nati, “Chingi mufosa, ka kuti ka mwizi mañolo kamba maata e Ireeza.
Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Ye are deceiued, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Ka kuti ku ku vuuka ka kwina ku sesa, kamba ku seswa. Mi vulyo ka va ku kola ili mañiloi miulu.
For in the resurrection they neither marie wiues, nor wiues are bestowed in mariage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen.
31 Kono kuya choku vuuka kwa vafwire, ka hena mu va vali ziva wambitwe kwenu ne Ireeza kuti
And concerning the resurrection of the dead, haue ye not read what is spoken vuto you of God, saying,
32 'Njeme Ireeza wa Abrahama, Ireeza wa Isaka, Ireeza wa Jakobo?' Ireeza ka hena wa vafwire kono ngua va hala.”
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the liuing.
33 Mi vantu vangi chinga va zuwa izo, choku komokwerwa ituto yakwe.
And when the multitude heard it, they were astonied at his doctrine.
34 Mi Vafarasayi chinga va zuwa kuti Jeeso cha tontoza Vasadukayi, cho kuli kopanya vonse.
But when the Pharises had heard, that he had put the Sadduces to silence, they assembled together.
35 Zumwi wabo, muruti wo mulao, cho ku vuza ipuzo ku mulika-
And one of them, which was an expounder of the Lawe, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 “Muluti, lyaho itaero inkando mu mulao nje ihi?”
Master, which is ye great commandement in the Lawe?
37 Jeeso cho ku mu sandula ku tewa, “Sune Ireeza wako che inkulo yako yonse, ne luhuho lwako lonse, ne muhupulo wako wonse.”
Iesus sayd to him, Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soule, and with all thy minde.
38 Iyi nje itaelo inkando mu mulao.
This is the first and the great commandement.
39 Mi yo vuveli itaelo yi swana-'U sune muzakinsani mo lisunine.'
And the second is like vnto this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
40 He zi itaelo zovele mpaha kolele mulao ne vapolofita.”
On these two commandements hangeth the whole Lawe, and the Prophets.
41 Choku hwela Vafarasayi ne vasi kungene, Jeeso choku va vuza ipuzo.
While the Pharises were gathered together, Iesus asked them,
42 Nati munahana ku tinzi cha Kirisiti? Mwanaswisu wani?” Avo chokumu cho kuti, “Mwanaswisu wa Daafita.”
Saying, What thinke ye of Christ? whose sonne is he? They sayd vnto him, Dauids.
43 Jeeso choku va cho kuti, “Kwiza vule kuti Daafita chowina Muluhuho amusumpe Simwine, nati kuti.
He sayd vnto them, How then doeth Dauid in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 Simwene na wamba kwa Simwine wangu, “Wi kalile kwiyanza lyangu lya malyo, mbwita china chita zira zako kapula ka matende ako?”
The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole?
45 Lyinu haiva Daafita u musumpa Kirisiti 'Simwine', ku zwaho u va vule mwanaswisu wa Daafita?”
If then Dauid call him Lord, howe is he his sonne?
46 Mi ni kwa vuleka mane nangati u mwina ya va muitavi che linzwi, ku zwaho mane ni kwa vuleka muntu nangati umwina ku muvuza ipuzo ku zwa mwelyo izuva.
And none could answere him a worde, neither durst any from that day foorth aske him any moe questions.
