Matayu 22
1 Yesu katakuliti nawomberi kayi kwa mfanu.
And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables, and said,
2 “Ufalumi wa kumpindi ulifana ntambu ayi. Kuweriti na mfalumi yakamtandiriti mwana gwakuwi mpalu msambu gwa ndowa.
The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
3 Su, kawatumiti wantumintumi wakuwi wakawashemi walii yawashemiritwi wizi kumsambu, kumbiti walii yawashemiritwi walemiti kwiza.
And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
4 Kawatuma kayi wantumintumi wamonga, pakatakula, ‘Muwagambiri yawawashemiriti kuwera msambu gwangu vinu gwa kala, wang'ombi wangu na wandama waherepa wawalikitula kala. Shila shintu shiwera kala, su mwizi mumsambu gwa ndowa!’
Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatted calves are killed, and all things are ready: come to the marriage.
5 Kumbiti wahenga yawashemiritwi walishera ndiri, su wendereyiti na vitwatira vyawu, yumu kagenditi kulirambu kwakuwi na yumonga kagenditi kutenda biyashala yakuwi,
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
6 na wamonga wawakamula wantumintumi walii, wawakomanga na kuwalaga.
And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7 Mfalumi ulii kakalariti nentu, su kawatuma wanjagila wakuwi wakawalagi woseri yawatenditi hangu na kapambira motu lushi zyawu.
But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
8 Shakapanu kawagambira wantumintumi wakuwi, ‘Msambu gwa ndowa gwa kala, kumbiti yawashemiritwi walema kwiza.
Then says he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
9 Vinu mgendi munjira pamwawona wantu woseri mwashemi wizi mumsambu gwa ndowa.’
Go you therefore into the highways, and as many as you shall find, bid to the marriage.
10 Su wantumintumi walii wawuka na wagenda munjira, wawashemera wantu woseri yawawoniti, wadoda na waheri, numba yoseri ya msambu ivuwiti wahenga.
So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
11 “Mfalumi pakayingiriti kuwalola wahenga, kamwona muntu kavala ndiri nguwu ya ndowa.
And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12 Mfalumi kamkosiya, ‘Ganja, gwingira hashi panu pota kuvala nguwu ya ndowa?’ Kumbiti yomberi kawankula ndiri.
And he says to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 Palaa palii mfalumi kawagambira wantumintumi, ‘Mumtawi magulu na mawoku, mwakamwasi kunja muntiti. Aku hakalili na kugayagaya menu gakuwi.’”
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 Na Yesu kamalira kwa kutakula, “Yawashemiritwi wavuwa, kumbiti yawasyagulitwi ndo wadidini.”
For many are called, but few are chosen.
15 Shakapanu Mafalisayu wagenda zawu na wapangiti ntambu ya kumgomiziya Yesu kwa visoweru vyakuwi.
Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
16 Su, womberi wawatuma wafundwa wawu pamuhera na wantumini wa shipinga sha Herodi kugenda kwa Yesu. Womberi walonga, “mfunda, tuvimana handa gwenga gutakula nakaka. Gwenga gufunda nakaka kuusu mafiliru ga Mlungu kwa wantu, gutira ndiri shawalihola wamonga, toziya gulishera ndiri ukulu wa muntu.
And they sent out to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that you are true, and teach the way of God in truth, neither care you for any man: for you regard not the person of men.
17 Su, gutugambiri, gwenga gulihola shishi? Lagaliru ama lagaliru ndiri kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari?”
Tell us therefore, What think you? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
18 Kumbiti Yesu kavimana ukondola wawu yawalihola, su kawagambira, “Mwawafyangu mwenga! Iwera hashi mwankujera kungomiziya?
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt you me, you hypocrites?
19 Munanguziyi mpiya zya kulipira kodi!” Womberi wamlavilira ligwala lya mpiya,
Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a penny.
20 na Yesu kawakosiya, “Sheni na malembu aga mumpiya ga gaa?”
And he says to them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 Womberi wamwankula, “Ga mfalumi gwa Rumi.” Su Yesu kawagambira, “Mumpanani Kaisari vyaviwera vya Kaisari na mumpanani Mlungu vyaviwera vya Mlungu.”
They say to him, Caesar’s. Then says he to them, Render therefore to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.
22 Pawapikaniriti hangu, walikangasha na wamleka wagenditi zawu.
When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left him, and went their way.
23 Lishaka liraa lilii, Masadukayu wamu ndo yawatakulaga wantu yawahowiti hapeni wazyuki, wamgenderiti Yesu.
The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24 Su wamgambira, “mfunda, Musa katakuriti kuwera muntu yakayugiti pakahowa pota kuleka mwana, ndo mlongu gwakuwi kamyugi mdala mkenja uliya, su kamleleri wana mlongu gwakuwi yakahowiti.
Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
25 Vinu petu panu, paweriti na walongu saba. Mlongu mkulu kayugiti mdala na kahowiti pota kupata mwana, su mlongu gwakuwi kamuhala mkenja ulii.
Now there were with us seven brothers: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife to his brother:
26 Iwera ntambu ira kwa mlongu gwa pili na gwa tatu mpaka kwa woseri saba.
Likewise the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 Lupeleru na mdala uliya kahowiti viraa.
And last of all the woman died also.
28 Vinu, mulishaka lya kuzyuka kwa yawahowiti, hashi, mdala ayu hakaweri mdala gwa gaa? Toziya mkenja ayu kaweriti mdala wa walongu woseri saba.”
Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29 Yesu kawankula, “Mwenga mwagamila nakaka! Mwagamila toziya mgamana ndiri Malembu Mananagala ama makakala ga Mlungu.
Jesus answered and said to them, You do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Toziya yawahowiti pawazyuka, hawalifani gambira wantumintumi wa kumpindi kwa Mlungu na wantu hapeni wayugi ama kuyugwa.
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31 Kumbiti kuusu kuzyuka kwa yawahowiti, hashi, hamwenibetuli galaa Mlungu gakawagambiriti? Mlungu kawagambiriti,
But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 ‘Neni ndo Mlungu gwa Aburahamu, ndo Mlungu gwa Isaka, ndo Mlungu gwa Yakobu!’ Yomberi Mlungu gwa wahowiti ndiri, ira Mlungu gwa wakomu.”
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 Lipinga lya wantu palipikaniriti hangu walikangasha mafundu gakuwi.
And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 Mafalisayu pawapikaniriti handa Yesu kawawankula Masadukayu mpaka wasinditi kumkosiya kayi, su womberi waliwoniti pamuhera.
But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35 Yumu gwawu, mfunda gwa Malagaliru, kamkosiya Yesu kwa kufira kumgomiziya,
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 “mfunda, lilagaliru lyoshi ndo likulu Mumalagaliru?”
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Yesu kamwankula, “Gumfiri Mtuwa Mlungu gwaku kwa moyu gwaku gwoseri, kwa rohu yaku yoseri na kwa mahala gaku goseri.”
Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
38 Ali ndo lilagaliru likulu lya kwanja.
This is the first and great commandment.
39 Na lya pili lilifana na ali, “Gumfiri gwapakwegera gwaku ntambu yagulifira gumweni.”
And the second is like to it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40 Malagaliru goseri ga Musa na malembu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu gankulitumbira malagaliru mawili aga.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 Mafalisayu pawaweriti pamuhera, Yesu kawakosiiti,
While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
42 “Mwenga mulihola hashi kuusu Kristu Mlopoziya? Hashi, yomberi ndo gwa shiyiwuku shagaa?” Wamwankula, “Shiyiwuku sha Dawudi.”
Saying, What think you of Christ? whose son is he? They say to him, The son of David.
43 Yesu kawagambira, “Su, iwezekana hashi kwa likakala lya Rohu Mnanagala Dawudi kamshemi yomberi ‘Mtuwa’? Dawudi katakuliti,
He says to them, How then does David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 ‘Mtuwa kamgambiriti Mtuwa gwangu, Gulivagi uwega waneni wa kumliwu, Mpaka nuwatuli wangondu waku pasi pa magulu gaku.’
The LORD said to my Lord, Sit you on my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool?
45 Payiwera Dawudi kamshemiti yomberi ‘Mtuwa,’ su iwezakana hashi kuwera Kristu ndo gwa shiyiwuku sha Dawudi?”
If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
46 Kwahera muntu yoseri yakaweziti kumwankula Yesu na kwanjira lishaka lilii kwahera yakajeriti kayi kukosiya shoseri.
And no man was able to answer him a word, neither dared any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
