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.
And he began to speak to them in similes: 'A man planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around, and digged an under-wine-vat, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad;
2 Shipindi sha kubenanga, kamtumiti ntumintumi gwakuwi kwa walimaji walii, kamjegeri seemu ya viboga vya lirambu lyakuwi.
and he sent unto the husbandmen at the due time a servant, that from the husbandmen he may receive from the fruit of the vineyard,
3 Walimaji walii wambata, wamkoma, wamwuziya mawoku hera.
and they, having taken him, did severely beat [him], and did send him away empty.
4 Kamtuma kayi ntumintumi yumonga, ayu viraa walimaji wamkomanga mumtuwi na kumtendera vidoda.
'And again he sent unto them another servant, and at that one having cast stones, they wounded [him] in the head, and sent away — dishonoured.
5 Mweni kana lirambu ulii kamtuma kayi ndundami yumonga, walimaji awa wamlagiti. Watenditi hangu kwa wamonga wavuwa yakawatumiti, wamonga wawakomiti, na wamonga wawalaga.
'And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and many others, some beating, and some killing.
6 Kasigaliwiti na muntu yumu, yani mwana gwakuwi yakamfira. Upeleru kamtuma ayu pakalihola, ‘Hawamupanani ligoya mwana gwangu.’
'Having yet therefore one son — his beloved — he sent also him unto them last, saying — They will reverence my son;
7 Kumbiti walimaji awa waligambirana, ‘Ayu ndo Mweni mhala, tumlagi su uhala wakuwi uweri wa twenga!’
and those husbandmen said among themselves — This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and ours shall be the inheritance;
8 Su, wambata, wamlaga na kumyasa kunja kulirambu lilii.
and having taken him, they did kill, and cast [him] forth without the vineyard.
9 “Hashi, mweni kana lirambu hakatendi shishi? Hakizi kuwalaga walimaji woseri na kuliyazimilira lirambu lya mizabibu kwa wantu wamonga.
'What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to others.
10 Hashi, hamwenibetuli Malembu Mananagala, ‘Libuwi lyawaliremiti wanyawa numba Vinu liwera libuwi lyaliwera na mana nentu kuliku mabuwi goseri.
And this Writing did ye not read: A stone that the builders rejected, it did become the head of a corner:
11 Mtuwa ndo mweni yakatenditi shintu ashi, Nasheni ndo shakulikangasha kwa twenga’?”
from the Lord was this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.'
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 were seeking to lay hold on him, and they feared the multitude, for they knew that against them he spake the simile, and having left him, they went away;
13 Su Mafalisayu wamu na wantu wa shipinga sha mfalumi Herodi wawatumiti su wamgomiziyi Yesu kwa visoweru vyakuwi.
and they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they may ensnare him in discourse,
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?”
and they having come, say to him, 'Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men, but in truth the way of God dost teach; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? may we give, or may we not give?'
15 Kumbiti Yesu kavimaniti Ufyangu wawu, kawagambira, “Mbona mnjera? Mnanguziyi mpiya ligwala.”
And he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, 'Why me do ye tempt? bring me a denary, that I may see;'
16 Wamlanguziya. Yomberi kawakosiya, “Sheni na shilanguliru ashi sha gaa?” Wamwankula, “Shilanguliru ashi sha Kaisari.”
and they brought, and he saith to them, 'Whose [is] this image, and the inscription?' and they said to him, 'Caesar's;'
17 Su Yesu kawagambira, “Vya Kaisari mmupanani Kaisari na vya Mlungu mmupanani Mlungu.” Walikangashira nentu.
and Jesus answering said to them, 'Give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;' and they did wonder at him.
18 Wantu wawalawiti mushipinga sha Masadukayu, walii watakulaga kwahera muntu yakaweza kuzyuka, su wamgenderiti Yesu wamkosiya,
And the Sadducees come unto him, who say there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,
19 “Mfunda Musa katulagaliriti hangu, ‘Muntu pakahowa na kumleka mdala pota mwana, mlongu gwakuwi mpaka kamtoli mkenja ulii na kamyiwuliri wana mlongu gwakuwi yakahowiti.’
'Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if any one's brother may die, and may leave a wife, and may leave no children, that his brother may take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
20 Su kuweriti na walongu saba. Gwa kwanja kamyugiti, kahowa pota kumleka mwana.
'There were then seven brothers, and the first took a wife, and dying, he left no seed;
21 Mlongu gwa pili kamyuga mkenja ayu na yomberi kahowa pota kuleka mwana. Ilawiriti ntambu iraayi kwa mlongu gwa tatu.
and the second took her, and died, neither left he seed, and the third in like manner,
22 Woseri saba wahowa pota kuleka wana. Pawupeleru mdala ulii kahowa.
and the seven took her, and left no seed, last of all died also the woman;
23 Vinu wantu pawazyuka mulishaka lya kuzyuka, mawu ayu hakaweri mdala gwa gaa? Toziya woseri saba wamyugiti.”
in the rising again, then, whenever they may rise, of which of them shall she be wife — for the seven had her as wife?'
24 Yesu kawankula, “Mwenga mwagamira toziya mgamana ndiri Malembu Mananagala ama likakala lya Mlungu.
And Jesus answering said to them, 'Do ye not because of this go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of God?
25 Toziya wawahowiti pawazyuka, hapeni wayugi wala kuyugwa, hawaweri handa wantumintumi wa kumpindi.
for when they may rise out of the dead, they neither marry nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers who are in the heavens.
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.’
'And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the Book of Moses (at The Bush), how God spake to him, 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!”
he is not the God of dead men, but a God of living men; ye then go greatly astray.'
28 Yumu gwa wafunda wa malagaliru kasokiti, kawapikanira Masadukayu wankulitakuziyana na Yesu. Pawawoniti Yesu kawankuliti weri, kamkosiya, “Mumalagaliru goseri, lilagaliru lyoshi likulu kuliku goseri?”
And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them disputing, knowing that he answered them well, questioned him, 'Which is the first command of all?'
29 Yesu kamwankula, “Lilagaliru likulu ndo ali, ‘Gupikiniri Israeli! Mlungu Mtuwa gwetu, ndo mweni Mtuwa gweka yakuwi.
and Jesus answered him — 'The first of all the commands [is], Hear, O 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 thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of thy soul, and out of all thine understanding, and out of all thy strength — this [is] the first command;
31 Na lilagaliru lya pili kwa ukulu ndo ali, ‘Guwafiri wamonga ntambu yagulifira gumweni.’ Kwahera lilagaliru limonga likulu nentu kuliku ali.”
and the second [is] like [it], this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; — greater than these there is no other command.'
32 Su ulii mfunda gwa malagaliru kamgambira, “Iherepa Mfunda! Gutakula nakaka kulonga Mlungu yumu hera na kwahera yumonga ira yomberi.
And the scribe said to him, 'Well, Teacher, in truth thou hast spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but He;
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 out of all the heart, and out of all the understanding, and out of all the soul, and out of all the strength, and to love one's neighbour as one's self, is more than all the whole burnt-offerings and the 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.
And Jesus, having seen him that he answered with understanding, said to him, 'Thou art not far from the reign of God;' and no one any more durst question him.
35 Shipindi Yesu pakaweriti kankufunda Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kakosiiti, “Mbona wafunda wa malagaliru watakula handa Kristu mwana gwa Dawudi?
And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, 'How say the scribes that the Christ is 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.’”
for David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on My right hand, till I place thine enemies — thy 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.
therefore David himself saith of him Lord, and whence is he his son?' And the great multitude were hearing him gladly,
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.
and he was saying to them in his teaching, 'Beware of the scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places,
39 Wafiraga kulivaga muviti vya kulongolu munumba ya Mlungu, na kutola mpenyu ziherepa pamsambu
and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in suppers,
40 Wawayonga wakenja aku wankulipayira kumluwa Mlungu kwa shipindi shitali! Lishaka lya kutoza hawatabiki nentu!”
who are devouring the widows' houses, and for a pretence are making long prayers; these shall receive more abundant judgment.'
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 having sat down over-against the treasury, was beholding how the multitude do put brass into the treasury, and many rich were putting in much,
42 Kiza mkenja mhushu kalaviya senti ndidika mbili zya mpiya.
and having come, a poor widow did put in two mites, which are a farthing.
43 Panu Yesu kawashema wafundwa wakuwi, kawagambira, “Nukugambirani nakaka, mkenja muhushu ayu kalaviya zivuwa kuliku wamonga woseri yawatuliti mpiya mulisanduku lya luhanja.
And having called near his disciples, he saith to them, 'Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath put in more than all those putting 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 all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, all that she had put in — all her living.'
