Mariku 12
1 Yesu kanjiti kutakula nawu kwa mifanu, “Muntu yumu kalimiti lirambu lya mizabibu. Katindiliziya shibambaza na pakati pa lirambu kabawa lirindi lya kuyonera zabibu, kanyawa lilingu lya kulolelera. Kawazimila lirambu ali kwa walimaji, mweni kagenda mpaka lushi lwa kutali.
Then addressing them in parables, he said, A man planted a vineyard, and hedged it about, and dug a place for a wine vat, and built a tower, and having farmed it out, went abroad.
2 Shipindi sha kubenanga, kamtumiti ntumintumi gwakuwi kwa walimaji walii, kamjegeri seemu ya viboga vya lirambu lyakuwi.
The season being come, he sent a servant to the husbandmen, to receive his portion of the fruits of the vineyard.
3 Walimaji walii wambata, wamkoma, wamwuziya mawoku hera.
But they seized him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
4 Kamtuma kayi ntumintumi yumonga, ayu viraa walimaji wamkomanga mumtuwi na kumtendera vidoda.
Again, he sent to them another servant, whom they wounded in the head with stones, and sent back with disgrace.
5 Mweni kana lirambu ulii kamtuma kayi ndundami yumonga, walimaji awa wamlagiti. Watenditi hangu kwa wamonga wavuwa yakawatumiti, wamonga wawakomiti, na wamonga wawalaga.
He sent another, whom they killed; and of many more that he sent, some they beat, and some they killed.
6 Kasigaliwiti na muntu yumu, yani mwana gwakuwi yakamfira. Upeleru kamtuma ayu pakalihola, ‘Hawamupanani ligoya mwana gwangu.’
At last, having an only son, whom he loved, he sent him also to them; for he said, They will reverence my son.
7 Kumbiti walimaji awa waligambirana, ‘Ayu ndo Mweni mhala, tumlagi su uhala wakuwi uweri wa twenga!’
But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own.
8 Su, wambata, wamlaga na kumyasa kunja kulirambu lilii.
Then they laid hold on him, and having thrust him out of the vineyard, they killed him.
9 “Hashi, mweni kana lirambu hakatendi shishi? Hakizi kuwalaga walimaji woseri na kuliyazimilira lirambu lya mizabibu kwa wantu wamonga.
What, therefore, will the proprietor of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and give the vineyard to others.
10 Hashi, hamwenibetuli Malembu Mananagala, ‘Libuwi lyawaliremiti wanyawa numba Vinu liwera libuwi lyaliwera na mana nentu kuliku mabuwi goseri.
Have you not read this passage of scripture, "A stone which the builders rejected, is made the head of the corner:
11 Mtuwa ndo mweni yakatenditi shintu ashi, Nasheni ndo shakulikangasha kwa twenga’?”
this the Lord has performed, and we behold it with admiration?"
12 Watambika wa numba ya Mlungu na wafunda wa malagaliru na wazewi wavimaniti handa mfanu agu guweriti kawalonga womberi. Hangu wajeriti kumbata, kumbiti watiriti lipinga lya wantu. Su wamleka kagendi zakuwi.
And they desired to have seized him, but were afraid of the multitude; for they knew that he spoke the parable against them.
13 Su Mafalisayu wamu na wantu wa shipinga sha mfalumi Herodi wawatumiti su wamgomiziyi Yesu kwa visoweru vyakuwi.
Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders, leaving Jesus, went away, and sent to him certain Pharisees and Herodians, to catch him in his words.
14 Wamgendera, wamgambira, “mfunda tuvimana handa gwenga ndo muntu yagwaminika, gutakula nakaka hera, wala gumshera ndiri muntu yoseri shakaliholiti. Gulishera ndiri ukulu wa muntu, toziya gufunda unakaka hera wa Mlungu kwa wantu. Su, gutugambiri vya halali kumupa Kaisari kodi ama ndala?”
These coming up, said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are upright, and stand in awe of none; for you respect not the person of men, but teach the way of God faithfully. Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
15 Kumbiti Yesu kavimaniti Ufyangu wawu, kawagambira, “Mbona mnjera? Mnanguziyi mpiya ligwala.”
Shall we give, or shall we not give? He, perceiving their artifice, answered, Why would you entangle me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.
16 Wamlanguziya. Yomberi kawakosiya, “Sheni na shilanguliru ashi sha gaa?” Wamwankula, “Shilanguliru ashi sha Kaisari.”
When they had brought, he asked them, Whose is the image and inscription? They answered, Cesar's.
17 Su Yesu kawagambira, “Vya Kaisari mmupanani Kaisari na vya Mlungu mmupanani Mlungu.” Walikangashira nentu.
Jesus replied, Render to Cesar that which is Cesar's, and to God that which is God's. And they wondered at him.
18 Wantu wawalawiti mushipinga sha Masadukayu, walii watakulaga kwahera muntu yakaweza kuzyuka, su wamgenderiti Yesu wamkosiya,
Then Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no future life, and proposed this questions:
19 “Mfunda Musa katulagaliriti hangu, ‘Muntu pakahowa na kumleka mdala pota mwana, mlongu gwakuwi mpaka kamtoli mkenja ulii na kamyiwuliri wana mlongu gwakuwi yakahowiti.’
Rabbi, Moses has enacted, that if a man's brother die, survived by a wife without children, he shall marry the widow, and raise issue to his brother.
20 Su kuweriti na walongu saba. Gwa kwanja kamyugiti, kahowa pota kumleka mwana.
Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying, left no issue.
21 Mlongu gwa pili kamyuga mkenja ayu na yomberi kahowa pota kuleka mwana. Ilawiriti ntambu iraayi kwa mlongu gwa tatu.
The second married her, and died; neither did he leave any issue; so did also the third.
22 Woseri saba wahowa pota kuleka wana. Pawupeleru mdala ulii kahowa.
Thus all seven married her, and left no issue. Last of all, the woman also died.
23 Vinu wantu pawazyuka mulishaka lya kuzyuka, mawu ayu hakaweri mdala gwa gaa? Toziya woseri saba wamyugiti.”
At the resurrection, therefore, when they are risen, to which of the seven will she belong; for she has been the wife of them all?
24 Yesu kawankula, “Mwenga mwagamira toziya mgamana ndiri Malembu Mananagala ama likakala lya Mlungu.
Jesus answering, said to them, Is not this the source of your error, your not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God?
25 Toziya wawahowiti pawazyuka, hapeni wayugi wala kuyugwa, hawaweri handa wantumintumi wa kumpindi.
For there will be neither marrying, nor giving in marriage, among them who rise from the dead. They will then resemble the angels.
26 Kumbiti kwa shisoweru sha kuzyukisiwa kwa wantu wawahowiti, hashi, mwenesomi mushindola sha Musa shisoweru shilii sha shitogolu shashiyakiti motu, Mlungu ntambu yakamgambiriti Musa, ‘Neni na Mlungu gwa Aburahamu na Mlungu gwa Isaka na Mlungu gwa Yakobu.’
But as to the dead, that they are raised, have you not read in the book of Moses, how God spoke to him in the bush, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."
27 Yomberi Mlungu ndiri gwa wawahowiti, ira Mlungu gwa wakomu. Su, mwenga mwagamira nentu!”
God is not a God of the dead, but of the living. Therefore you greatly err.
28 Yumu gwa wafunda wa malagaliru kasokiti, kawapikanira Masadukayu wankulitakuziyana na Yesu. Pawawoniti Yesu kawankuliti weri, kamkosiya, “Mumalagaliru goseri, lilagaliru lyoshi likulu kuliku goseri?”
A scribe, who had heard them dispute, perceiving the justness of his reply, came to him, and proposed this question: Which is the chief commandment of all?
29 Yesu kamwankula, “Lilagaliru likulu ndo ali, ‘Gupikiniri Israeli! Mlungu Mtuwa gwetu, ndo mweni Mtuwa gweka yakuwi.
Jesus answered, The chief of all the commandments is, "Hearken, Israel, the Lord is our God. The Lord is one:"
30 Gumfiri Mlungu Mtuwa gwaku kwa moyu gwaku goseri na kwa rohu yaku yoseri na kwa mahala gaku goseri na kwa makakala gaku goseri.’
and, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength." This is the first commandment.
31 Na lilagaliru lya pili kwa ukulu ndo ali, ‘Guwafiri wamonga ntambu yagulifira gumweni.’ Kwahera lilagaliru limonga likulu nentu kuliku ali.”
The second resembles it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." There is no commandment greater than these.
32 Su ulii mfunda gwa malagaliru kamgambira, “Iherepa Mfunda! Gutakula nakaka kulonga Mlungu yumu hera na kwahera yumonga ira yomberi.
The scribe replied, Truly, Rabbi, you have answered well. There is one, and only one;
33 Na gumfiri Mlungu Mtuwa gwaku kwa moyu gwaku goseri na kwa mahala gaku goseri na kwa makakala gaku goseri na guwafiri wamonga ntambu yagulifira gamweni. Shitwatira ashi shana mana nentu kuliku matambiku goseri gakulunguziya torosu kwa Mlungu.”
and to love him with all the heart, and with all the spirit, and with all the soul, and with all the strength; and to love one's self, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 Yesu pakawoniti handa muntu ayu kamwankula kwa luhala, kamgambira, “Gwenga gwakutali ndiri na Ufalumi wa Mlungu.” Palongolu pa aga, kwahera muntu yakajeriti kayi kumkosiya shintu.
Jesus observing how pertinently he had answered, said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. After that, no person ventured to put questions to him.
35 Shipindi Yesu pakaweriti kankufunda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kakosiiti, “Mbona wafunda wa malagaliru watakula handa Kristu mwana gwa Dawudi?
As Jesus was teaching in the temple, he asked them, Why do you scribes assert, that the Messiah must be a son of David?
36 Dawudi pakalongoziwitwi na Rohu Mnanagala katakuliti, ‘Mtuwa kamgambiriti Mtuwa gwangu, Gukali uwega wa neni wa kumliwu, Mpaka panuwatula wankondu waku pasi pa magulu gaku.’”
Yet David, himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, says, "The Lord, said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I make your foes your footstool."
37 “Dawudi mweni kamshema Kristu Mtuwa. Su Kristu hakaweri hashi mwana gwakuwi?” Lipinga lya wantu waweriti wankumpikinira, Lipinga lya wantu liweriti lyakumpikanira Yesu kwa kunemelera.
David himself, therefore, calls him his Lord; how then can he be his son? And the common people heard him with delight.
38 Yesu pakaweriti kankufunda, katakuliti, “Mkali weri na wafunda wa malagaliru weni wafiraga kulipitiziya pitiziya walikwindira lihabiti ritali na wafira wantu wawalamsiyi kwa ligoya kusoku.
Further, in teaching, he said to them, Beware of the scribes, who affect to walk in robes; who love salutations in public places,
39 Wafiraga kulivaga muviti vya kulongolu munumba ya Mlungu, na kutola mpenyu ziherepa pamsambu
and the principal seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost places at entertainments;
40 Wawayonga wakenja aku wankulipayira kumluwa Mlungu kwa shipindi shitali! Lishaka lya kutoza hawatabiki nentu!”
who devour the families of widows, and use long prayers for a disguise. They shall undergo the severest punishment.
41 Yesu kaweriti kalivaga pakwegera na lisanduku lya luhanja. Kaweriti kankulola wantu wavuwa ntambu yawaweriti wankulavia mpiya na kuzitula muluhanja lwa Numba ngulu ya Mlungu. Walunda wavuwa walaviyiti mpiya zivuwa.
And Jesus sitting opposite the treasury, observed the people throwing money into the treasury; and many rich persons put in much.
42 Kiza mkenja mhushu kalaviya senti ndidika mbili zya mpiya.
Then the poor widow came, who threw in two mites, (which make a farthing.)
43 Panu Yesu kawashema wafundwa wakuwi, kawagambira, “Nukugambirani nakaka, mkenja muhushu ayu kalaviya zivuwa kuliku wamonga woseri yawatuliti mpiya mulisanduku lya luhanja.
Jesus having called his disciples, said to them, Indeed, I say to you, that this poor widow has given more than any of those who have thrown into the treasury;
44 Mana woseri walaviya kulawilirana na shuma shashiyogizikiti, kumbiti mawu ayu, tembera mhushu, kalaviya vyoseri vyakaweriti navi, kalaviya kila shintu shakafiriti kwa kulikala.”
for they all have contributed out of their superfluous stores; whereas she has given all the little she had--her whole living.
