Matayu 22
1 Yesu katakuliti nawomberi kayi kwa mfanu.
Jesus answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,
2 “Ufalumi wa kumpindi ulifana ntambu ayi. Kuweriti na mfalumi yakamtandiriti mwana gwakuwi mpalu msambu gwa ndowa.
"The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,
3 Su, kawatumiti wantumintumi wakuwi wakawashemi walii yawashemiritwi wizi kumsambu, kumbiti walii yawashemiritwi walemiti kwiza.
and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, 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!’
Again he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "Look, I have made ready my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage feast."'
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 own farm, another to his merchandise,
6 na wamonga wawakamula wantumintumi walii, wawakomanga na kuwalaga.
and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.
7 Mfalumi ulii kakalariti nentu, su kawatuma wanjagila wakuwi wakawalagi woseri yawatenditi hangu na kapambira motu lushi zyawu.
The king was enraged, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Shakapanu kawagambira wantumintumi wakuwi, ‘Msambu gwa ndowa gwa kala, kumbiti yawashemiritwi walema kwiza.
"Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren't worthy.
9 Vinu mgendi munjira pamwawona wantu woseri mwashemi wizi mumsambu gwa ndowa.’
Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.'
10 Su wantumintumi walii wawuka na wagenda munjira, wawashemera wantu woseri yawawoniti, wadoda na waheri, numba yoseri ya msambu ivuwiti wahenga.
And those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all they found, both bad and good, and the wedding was filled with those reclining.
11 “Mfalumi pakayingiriti kuwalola wahenga, kamwona muntu kavala ndiri nguwu ya ndowa.
But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who did not have on wedding clothing,
12 Mfalumi kamkosiya, ‘Ganja, gwingira hashi panu pota kuvala nguwu ya ndowa?’ Kumbiti yomberi kawankula ndiri.
and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' 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 servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.'
14 Na Yesu kamalira kwa kutakula, “Yawashemiritwi wavuwa, kumbiti yawasyagulitwi ndo wadidini.”
For many are called, but few chosen."
15 Shakapanu Mafalisayu wagenda zawu na wapangiti ntambu ya kumgomiziya Yesu kwa visoweru vyakuwi.
Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap 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.
They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you are not partial to anyone.
17 Su, gutugambiri, gwenga gulihola shishi? Lagaliru ama lagaliru ndiri kulipa kodi kwa Kaisari?”
Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes 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 do you test me, you hypocrites?
19 Munanguziyi mpiya zya kulipira kodi!” Womberi wamlavilira ligwala lya mpiya,
Show me the tax money." They brought to him a denarius.
20 na Yesu kawakosiya, “Sheni na malembu aga mumpiya ga gaa?”
He asked them, "Whose is this image and inscription?"
21 Womberi wamwankula, “Ga mfalumi gwa Rumi.” Su Yesu kawagambira, “Mumpanani Kaisari vyaviwera vya Kaisari na mumpanani Mlungu vyaviwera vya Mlungu.”
They said to him, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
22 Pawapikaniriti hangu, walikangasha na wamleka wagenditi zawu.
When they heard it, they were astonished, and left him, and went away.
23 Lishaka liraa lilii, Masadukayu wamu ndo yawatakulaga wantu yawahowiti hapeni wazyuki, wamgenderiti Yesu.
On that day Sadducees came to him, the ones saying that there is no resurrection. And they 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, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother is to marry his wife, and raise up offspring for 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. The first married and died, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
26 Iwera ntambu ira kwa mlongu gwa pili na gwa tatu mpaka kwa woseri saba.
In like manner the second also, and the third, to the seventh.
27 Lupeleru na mdala uliya kahowiti viraa.
After them all, the woman died.
28 Vinu, mulishaka lya kuzyuka kwa yawahowiti, hashi, mdala ayu hakaweri mdala gwa gaa? Toziya mkenja ayu kaweriti mdala wa walongu woseri saba.”
In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will 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.
But Jesus answered them, "You are mistaken, 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 like the angels in heaven.
31 Kumbiti kuusu kuzyuka kwa yawahowiti, hashi, hamwenibetuli galaa Mlungu gakawagambiriti? Mlungu kawagambiriti,
But concerning 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.
When the crowds heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 Mafalisayu pawapikaniriti handa Yesu kawawankula Masadukayu mpaka wasinditi kumkosiya kayi, su womberi waliwoniti pamuhera.
But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.
35 Yumu gwawu, mfunda gwa Malagaliru, kamkosiya Yesu kwa kufira kumgomiziya,
One of them, a Law scholar, asked him a question, testing him.
36 “mfunda, lilagaliru lyoshi ndo likulu Mumalagaliru?”
"Teacher, 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.”
He said to him, "'You are to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'
38 Ali ndo lilagaliru likulu lya kwanja.
This is the great and first commandment.
39 Na lya pili lilifana na ali, “Gumfiri gwapakwegera gwaku ntambu yagulifira gumweni.”
A second likewise is this, 'You are to love your neighbor as yourself.'
40 Malagaliru goseri ga Musa na malembu ga wambuyi wa Mlungu gankulitumbira malagaliru mawili aga.
The whole Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments."
41 Mafalisayu pawaweriti pamuhera, Yesu kawakosiiti,
Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,
42 “Mwenga mulihola hashi kuusu Kristu Mlopoziya? Hashi, yomberi ndo gwa shiyiwuku shagaa?” Wamwankula, “Shiyiwuku sha Dawudi.”
saying, "What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "Of David."
43 Yesu kawagambira, “Su, iwezekana hashi kwa likakala lya Rohu Mnanagala Dawudi kamshemi yomberi ‘Mtuwa’? Dawudi katakuliti,
He said to them, "How then does David in the 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 on my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet'?
45 Payiwera Dawudi kamshemiti yomberi ‘Mtuwa,’ su iwezakana hashi kuwera Kristu ndo gwa shiyiwuku sha Dawudi?”
"If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?"
46 Kwahera muntu yoseri yakaweziti kumwankula Yesu na kwanjira lishaka lilii kwahera yakajeriti kayi kukosiya shoseri.
No one was able to answer him a word, neither did anyone dare ask him any more questions from that day forth.
