Matayu 22
1 Yesu katakuliti nawomberi kayi kwa mfanu.
Jesus continuing to discourse to them in parables, said,
2 “Ufalumi wa kumpindi ulifana ntambu ayi. Kuweriti na mfalumi yakamtandiriti mwana gwakuwi mpalu msambu gwa ndowa.
The Administration of Heaven resembles the conduct of a king, who having made a marriage feast for his son,
3 Su, kawatumiti wantumintumi wakuwi wakawashemi walii yawashemiritwi wizi kumsambu, kumbiti walii yawashemiritwi walemiti kwiza.
sent his servants to call them, who had been invited; but 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!’
Then he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited I have prepared my feast; my bullocks and fatlings are slain, and all is 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 turned away with indifference, one to his farm, another to his merchandize.
6 na wamonga wawakamula wantumintumi walii, wawakomanga na kuwalaga.
And the rest seizing his servants, abused and killed them.
7 Mfalumi ulii kakalariti nentu, su kawatuma wanjagila wakuwi wakawalagi woseri yawatenditi hangu na kapambira motu lushi zyawu.
When the king heard this, being enraged, he sent his soldiers, destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.
8 Shakapanu kawagambira wantumintumi wakuwi, ‘Msambu gwa ndowa gwa kala, kumbiti yawashemiritwi walema kwiza.
Then he said to his servants, The entertainment is ready; but they who were invited were not worthy:
9 Vinu mgendi munjira pamwawona wantu woseri mwashemi wizi mumsambu gwa ndowa.’
go therefore, into the public roads, and all that you can find, invited to the marriage.
10 Su wantumintumi walii wawuka na wagenda munjira, wawashemera wantu woseri yawawoniti, wadoda na waheri, numba yoseri ya msambu ivuwiti wahenga.
Accordingly they went into the highways, and assembled all that they found, good and bad, so that the hall was furnished with guests.
11 “Mfalumi pakayingiriti kuwalola wahenga, kamwona muntu kavala ndiri nguwu ya ndowa.
When the king came in to see the guests, observing one who had not on a wedding garment,
12 Mfalumi kamkosiya, ‘Ganja, gwingira hashi panu pota kuvala nguwu ya ndowa?’ Kumbiti yomberi kawankula ndiri.
he said to him, Friend, how came you here without 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 the king said to the attendants, Bind him hand and foot, and thrust him out into darkness, where will be weeping and gnashing of teeth;
14 Na Yesu kamalira kwa kutakula, “Yawashemiritwi wavuwa, kumbiti yawasyagulitwi ndo wadidini.”
for there are many called, but few chosen.
15 Shakapanu Mafalisayu wagenda zawu na wapangiti ntambu ya kumgomiziya Yesu kwa visoweru vyakuwi.
Then the Pharisees retired, and having consulted how they might entrap him in his words,
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.
sent to him some of their disciples, and some Herodians, who being instructed by them, said, Rabbi, we know that you are sincere, and faithfully teach the way of God, without partiality, for you respect not the person of men.
17 Su, gutugambiri, gwenga gulihola shishi? Lagaliru ama lagaliru ndiri kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari?”
Tell us, therefore, your opinion: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cesar, or not?
18 Kumbiti Yesu kavimana ukondola wawu yawalihola, su kawagambira, “Mwawafyangu mwenga! Iwera hashi mwankujera kungomiziya?
Jesus, perceiving their malice, said, Dissemblers, why would you entangle me?
19 Munanguziyi mpiya zya kulipira kodi!” Womberi wamlavilira ligwala lya mpiya,
Show me the tribute money. And they reached him a denarius.
20 na Yesu kawakosiya, “Sheni na malembu aga mumpiya ga gaa?”
He asked them, Whose image and inscription is this?
21 Womberi wamwankula, “Ga mfalumi gwa Rumi.” Su Yesu kawagambira, “Mumpanani Kaisari vyaviwera vya Kaisari na mumpanani Mlungu vyaviwera vya Mlungu.”
They answered, Cesar's. He replied, Render, then, to Cesar that which is Cesar's, and to God that which is God's.
22 Pawapikaniriti hangu, walikangasha na wamleka wagenditi zawu.
And admiring his answer, they left him, and went away.
23 Lishaka liraa lilii, Masadukayu wamu ndo yawatakulaga wantu yawahowiti hapeni wazyuki, wamgenderiti Yesu.
The same day Sadducees, who say that there is no future life, came to him and addressed 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.
Rabbi, Moses has said, if one die, and have no children, his brother shall marry his widow, and raise issue to the deceased.
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 lived among us seven brothers; the eldest married and died without issue, leaving his wife to his brother.
26 Iwera ntambu ira kwa mlongu gwa pili na gwa tatu mpaka kwa woseri saba.
Thus also the second, and the third, and so to the seventh.
27 Lupeleru na mdala uliya kahowiti viraa.
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.”
Now, at the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seven; for they all married her?
29 Yesu kawankula, “Mwenga mwagamila nakaka! Mwagamila toziya mgamana ndiri Malembu Mananagala ama makakala ga Mlungu.
Jesus answering, said to them, You 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 that state, they neither marry, nor give in marriage: they resemble the angels of God.
31 Kumbiti kuusu kuzyuka kwa yawahowiti, hashi, hamwenibetuli galaa Mlungu gakawagambiriti? Mlungu kawagambiriti,
But as to the revival of the dead, have you not read what God declared to you, 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 a God of the dead, but of the living.
33 Lipinga lya wantu palipikaniriti hangu walikangasha mafundu gakuwi.
Now, the people who heard this, were struck with awe at his doctrine.
34 Mafalisayu pawapikaniriti handa Yesu kawawankula Masadukayu mpaka wasinditi kumkosiya kayi, su womberi waliwoniti pamuhera.
Meantime, the Pharisees hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, flocked about him.
35 Yumu gwawu, mfunda gwa Malagaliru, kamkosiya Yesu kwa kufira kumgomiziya,
Then, one of them, a lawyer, trying him, proposed this question,
36 “mfunda, lilagaliru lyoshi ndo likulu Mumalagaliru?”
Rabbi, which is the greatest 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 answered, "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 greatest commandment.
39 Na lya pili lilifana na ali, “Gumfiri gwapakwegera gwaku ntambu yagulifira gumweni.”
The second is like 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 the whole law and the prophets depend.
41 Mafalisayu pawaweriti pamuhera, Yesu kawakosiiti,
While the Pharisees were assembled, Jesus asked them,
42 “Mwenga mulihola hashi kuusu Kristu Mlopoziya? Hashi, yomberi ndo gwa shiyiwuku shagaa?” Wamwankula, “Shiyiwuku sha Dawudi.”
saying, What do you think of the Messiah? Who son should he be? They answered, David's.
43 Yesu kawagambira, “Su, iwezekana hashi kwa likakala lya Rohu Mnanagala Dawudi kamshemi yomberi ‘Mtuwa’? Dawudi katakuliti,
He replied, How then does David, speaking by inspiration, call him his Lord?
44 ‘Mtuwa kamgambiriti Mtuwa gwangu, Gulivagi uwega waneni wa kumliwu, Mpaka nuwatuli wangondu waku pasi pa magulu gaku.’
"The Lord," says he, "said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand until I make your foes your footstool."
45 Payiwera Dawudi kamshemiti yomberi ‘Mtuwa,’ su iwezakana hashi kuwera Kristu ndo gwa shiyiwuku sha Dawudi?”
If the Messiah were David's son, would David call him his Lord?
46 Kwahera muntu yoseri yakaweziti kumwankula Yesu na kwanjira lishaka lilii kwahera yakajeriti kayi kukosiya shoseri.
To this none of them could answer; and from that day no person presumed to interrogate him.
