Matei 22
1 A Yeshu gubhabhelekete nabhonji kabhili kwa lutango bhalinkuti,
And Jesus answered again by similitudes, and said:
2 “Upalume gwa kunnungu ushilandana naka mpalume jumo antendele mwanagwe kalamu ja ndowa.
The kingdom of heaven is like to a royal person, who made a feast for his son.
3 Bhai, gubhatumile bhatumishi bhabho bhajendangane kukwaatolanga bhashemilwenje ku ndowa, ikabheje bhashemilwenje bhala bhashinkukananga.
And he sent his servants to call those that had been invited, to the feast: and they would not come.
4 Gubhatumile kabhili bhatumishi bhana, bhalinkuti, ‘Mwaalugulilanje bhashemilwenje bhala, kalamu jangu nnaino tayali, malume gangu ga ng'ombe ya jimbala na matumbwe iinjilwe na kila shindu tayali, nnjiyangane ku ndowa.’
And again he sent other servants, and said: Tell those invited, Behold, my entertainment is prepared, my oxen and my fatlings are slain, and every thing is prepared; come ye to the feast.
5 Ikabheje bhangaimukanga, gubhaijabhulilenje, juna ku nngunda gwakwe na juna ku indu yakwe nnyene,
But they showed contempt, and went away, one to his farm, and another to his merchandise;
6 bhananji gubhaakamwilenje bhatumishi bhala nikwatukananga, gubhaabhulegenje.
and the rest seized his servants, and abused them, and slew them.
7 A mpalume bhala gubhatumbele, gubhatumile manjola kukwaabhulaganga bhaabhulegenje bhatumishi bhabho, na joka moto shilambo shabhonji.
And when the king heard of it, he was angry; and he sent his military forces, and destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Kungai gubhaalugulilenje bhatumishi bhabho, ‘Kweli, kalamu ja ndowa pujili tayali, ikabheje bhashemilwenje bhala bhangapinjikwanga.
Then said he to his servants, The feast is prepared, but they who were invited were unworthy.
9 Bhai, nnjendangane mmalekano na bhobhowe bhushimwaimananje mwaashemanje bhaikangane ku ndowa.’
Go ye therefore to the terminations of the streets; and as many as ye find, bid to the feast.
10 Bhatumishi bhala gubhashoshilenje, gubhapitengene mmipanda, gubhaishe nabhonji bhandu bhowe, bha mmbonenji na bhangalinginji bha mmbonenji. Nyumba jila gujigumbele bhajeninji.
And those servants went out into the streets, and collected all they found, both bad and good; and the place of feasting was filled with guests.
11 “Ikabheje a mpalume bhakajinjileje kukwaalolanga bhajeninji, gubhammweni mundu jumo jwangawala nngubho ja ndowa.
And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who was not clad in the festal garments.
12 Bhakulungwa gubhammushiye, ‘Ambwiga, nnjinjile bhuli gwangali wala nngubho ja ndowa?’ Ikabheje jwangajangula, gwaitamile ilili.
And he said to him: My friend, how camest thou here without the festal robes? But he was silent.
13 Penepo a mpalume bhala gubhaalugulilenje bhatumishi, ‘Muntabhanje makono na makongono nkanjaanje palanga ku lubhindu, kweneko shikubhe shililo na yaga meno.’”
Then said the king to the servitors: Bind his hands and his feet, and cast him into the outer darkness: there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 A Yeshu gubhamalishiye bhalinkuti, “Bhashemilwenje bhabhagwinji, ikabheje bhaagwilwenje bhashokope.”
For the called are many, and the chosen are few.
15 Kungai, Mapalishayo gubhajabhulengene, nigubhapengenenje shanabhuli pushibhaatanjiyanje a Yeshu kwa malobhe gabho.
Then went the Pharisees and took counsel, how they might ensnare him in discourse.
16 Bhai, gubhaatumilenje bhaajiganywa bhabhonji na bhandunji bha a Elode, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Mmaajiganya, tumumanyi kuti mmwe mmandu bha kulupalika, na nnaajiganya mpanda gwa a Nnungu kwa kulupalika na nkakunnjogopa mundu jojowe, pabha mmwe mwangali luagu.
And they sent to him their disciples, with domestics of Herod, and said to him: Teacher, we know that thou art veracious, and teachest the way of God with truth, regardless of man, for thou hast no respect of persons.
17 Bhai, ntulugulile nkubhona bhuli? Alali eu nngabha alali kulipa koli kwa a Kaishali?”
Tell us, therefore, how doth it appear to thee: is it lawful to pay capitation money to Caesar, or not?
18 Ikabheje a Yeshu gubhaumanyi ungamanyika gwabhonji, gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmanganya mmagulumba, kwa nndi nnaninganga?
But Jesus knew their wickedness, and said: Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Nnanguyanje mmbiya ja lipila koli.” Gubhaalangwiyenje.
Show me a denarius of the capitation money. And they brought to him a denarius.
20 Bhai, a Yeshu gubhaabhushiyenje, “Pishaji na majandikoga gakeni?”
And Jesus said to them: Whose is this image and inscription?
21 Gubhaajangwilenje, “Ya a Kaishali.” Penepo a Yeshu gubhaalugulilenje, “Bhai, ya a Kaishali mwaapanganje a Kaishali, na ya a Nnungu mwaapanganje a Nnungu.”
They say, Caesar's. He saith to them: Give then Caesar's things to Caesar, and God's things to God.
22 Bhakapilikananjeje nneyo gubhalapilenje, gubhajabhulengenenje nikwaaleka.
And when they heard it they were surprised: and they left him, and went away.
23 Lyene lyubhalyo, Mashadukayo bhananji bhaabheleketanga kuti, bhawilenje bhakayukanga, gubhaajendelenje a Yeshu.
The same day came Sadducees, and said to him: There is no life of the dead. And they questioned him,
24 Bhai, gubhaabhushiyenje bhalinkutinji, “Mmajiganya, a Musha bhalugwile, mundu alombile awaga gwangali leka bhana, inapinjikwa jwannung'una abhatole bhakongwebho, nkupinga abhakolele bhana akulugwe.
and said to him: Teacher; Moses commanded us, that if a man should die childless, his brother must take his wife and raise up seed to his brother.
25 Bhai, panngwetu pano bhashinkupagwanga bhandu shabha. Jwankulu ashinkulomba gwawile gwangali kolela bhana, gwanneshele mpwakwe bhashitenga bhala.
Now there were with us seven brothers. The first took a wife, and deceased; and, as he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.
26 Nibha nneyo peyo kuka mpwakwe jwa bhili, naka jwa tatu, mpaka bhowe shabha.
In like manner also the second, and the third, and up to the whole seven.
27 Bhakawanganjeje bhowebho, bhakongwe bhala nabhalabho gubhawile.
And after them all, the woman also herself died.
28 Bhuli, lyubha lishibhayukanje, shibhabhe bhakongwe bhakeni? Pabha bhashinkulombwa na bhowe shabha.”
In the resurrection, therefore, to which of those seven will she be the wife? For they all had taken her?
29 A Yeshu gubhaajangwilenje, “Mmanganya nnapuganikanga kwa ligongo lya nngagamanya Majandiko ga Ukonjelo wala mashili ga a Nnungu.
Jesus answered, and said to them: Ye do err, from not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Pabha bhawilenje pushibhayukanje bhakalombanga wala lombwa, shibhabhanganje mbuti ashimalaika kunnungu.
For in the resurrection of the dead, they do not take wives, nor are wives given to husbands; but they are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 Ikabheje ga yuka bhawilenje, bhuli, nkanabhe shomanga gubhannugulilenje a Nnungu gala? Bhalinkuti,
But as to the resurrection of the dead: have ye not read what was spoken to you by God, who said:
32 ‘Nne a Nnungu bha a Bhulaimu na bha a Ishaka na bha a Yakobho!’ Bhai, bhenebho nngabha a Nnungu bha bhandu bhawilenje, ikabheje bha bhandu bhakotonji.”
I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob? Now he is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 Bhandu bhagumbelenje bhala bhakapilikananjeje nneyo, gubhalapilenje kwa majiganyo gabho.
And when the multitude heard it they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 Mapalishayo bhakapilikananjeje kuti a Yeshu bhashikwaapeyanga Mashadukayo, gubhaimenenje pamo.
And when the Pharisees heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they assembled together;
35 Jumo munkumbi gwabhonji, akujimanya Shalia, akwaabhuyaga a Yeshu nkwaalinga,
and one of them, who was expert in the law, to tempt him, inquired:
36 “Mmaajiganya, amuli jashi jili jikulungwa Nshalia ja a Musha?”
Teacher, which is the great command in the law?
37 A Yeshu gubhaajangwile, “‘Mwaapinje Bhakulungwa a Nnungu bhenu kwa ntima gwenu gowe na mbumu yenu yowe na kwa lunda lwenu lowe’.
Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy mind.
38 Jeneji ni amuli jikulungwa na ja ntai.
This is the great and first command.
39 Jabhili jilandana na jenejo, ‘Mwaapinje atami ajenu malinga shinkwipinga mmayene’.
And the second, which is like it, is, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 Shalia yowe ya a Musha na majiganyo ga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu inashimilika kwa yene amulii.”
On these two commands hang the law and the prophets.
41 Mapalishayo bhakaimananjeje pamo, a Yeshu gubhaabhushiyenje,
And while the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus questioned them,
42 “Mmanganya nkubhonaga bhuli ga a Kilishitu? Bhuli, mwana juka gani?” Gubhaajangwilenje, “Bhaulongo gwa a Daudi.”
and said: What say ye respecting, the Messiah? Whose son is he? They say to him; The son of David.
43 A Yeshu gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Bhai, ikomboleka bhuli kwa a Daudi kwa longoywa naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo bhanakwaashema a Kilishitu Bhakulungwa? Pabha bhashinkubheleketa,
He saith to them: How then doth David, by the Spirit, call him Lord? for he said:
44 ‘Bhakulungwa bhashinkwaalugulila Bhakulungwa bhangu. “Ntame nkono nnilo gwangu, Mpaka pushinaabhikanje ashaamagongo ajenu pa makongono genu.”’
The Lord said to my Lord, Seat thyself at my right hand, until I place thy enemies under thy feet.
45 Bhai, ibhaga a Daudi bhanakwaashema a Kilishitu ‘Bhakulungwa’ nibha bhuli bha ulongo bhabho?”
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 Wala jwakwa mundu abhajangwile. Tandubhila penepo jwakwa mundu alinjile kwaabhuya kabhili.
And no one was able to give him an answer? And from that day, no one dared to question him.
