Mataayi 22
1 U Yesu akavavuula kange avavaha va vatekesi na vagoyo va Vayahudi ifihwanikisio, ifingi akati,
And having responded, Jesus again spoke to them in parables, saying,
2 “Uvutwa vwa kukyanya vuhwaniine nu ntwa jumonga juno alyaling'hanisie uvutolani vwa mwanaake.
The kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a king who made a wedding for his son.
3 Untwa jula akavasung'ha avavombi vaake kukuvakemeela vano alyakutile kuuti viise kuvutolani, neke aveene vakakaana kuluta.
And he sent forth his bondmen to call those who were invited to the wedding festivities, and they did not want to come.
4 Untwa juula pe akasung'ha kange avavombi avange akavavuula akati,”Lutagha ku vano nikakutile uvutolani muvavuule kuuti, Lolagha, Niling'hanisie ifiinu fyoni ifya vutolani. Nibudile ing'hambako ni ndama sango sino sineniipe fiijo. Mwise kuvutolani.”
Again he sent forth other bondmen, saying, Speak to those who were invited, Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and my fatlings have been killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding festivities.
5 Neke aveene navakavikila mwojo. vakaluta ku mbombo saave, jumonga akaluta kumughunga ghwake, ujunge akaluta kughusia ifiinu fyake.
But having disregarded, they departed, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,
6 Avange vano valyakemelilue vakavakola avavombi vala vakavatova kyongo na kukuvabuda.
and the others having seized his bondmen, abused and killed them.
7 Untwa jula ye apulike sino sivombike ku vavombi vaake akakalala, Akasung'ha avasikali vaake kuluta kukuvabuda avabudi vala na kunyaanya lwoni ilikaaja lyave.
But having heard that, the king was angry, and having sent forth his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 Pe akavavuula avavombi vaake akati,”Uluo lwa vutolani luling'hanisivue, neke vano nikakutile uvutolani navanoghiile kange kukwisa ku vutolani.
Then he says to his bondmen, The wedding is indeed ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.
9 Lino lutagha mu mapuulo, muvavuule avaanhu vooni vano mutang'hana navo kuuti viise ku vutolani.”
Go ye therefore to the crossings of the ways, and as many as ye may find, call to the wedding festivities.
10 Avavombi vala vakaluta mu masevo na mu mapuulo vakavakemeela na kukuvaleeta avaanhu vooni vano vakava vitan'ghana, navo avanofu na vahosi, Avaanhu vinga vakiisa vakamema mu nyumba ija vutolani.
And those bondmen having departed into the roads, they gathered together all, as many as they found, both bad and good. And the wedding was filled with those who were dining.
11 Neke untwa jula ye ikwingila mu nyumba jila kuuti, alole avahesia, vaake akamwagha umuunhu jumonga naafwalile umwenda ghuno ghunoghile mu vutolani!
But when the king came in to see those who were dining, he saw there a man who was not clothed with a wedding garment.
12 Akamposia akati,'Nyalukolo, lwandani ghwingile muno kisila kuuva nu mwenda ghuno ghunoghiile mu vutolani? Umuunhu jula akakunua ikya kujova.
And he says to him, Friend, how did thou come in here not having a wedding garment? But he was speechless.
13 Pepeno untwa jula akavavuula avavombi vaake akati,”Nkunge umuunhu uju amaghulu na mavoko muntaaghe kunji ku ng'hiisi, ukuo ililagha na kugwegwenula amiino vwimila uvuvafi uvukome vuno alinavwo.
Then the king said to the helpers, After binding him hands and feet, take him away and cast him out into the outer darkness. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
14 U Yesu pe akavuula akati, Vano vakemelilue, nu Nguluve kukwingila mu vutwa vwake vinga neke avasalulua vadebe.”
For many are called, but few chosen.
15 Pambele a Vafalisayi vakavuuka pala vakaluta kupuling'hana vwimila ikiteghe ikya kunkola u Yesu mu masio ghaake.
Then the Pharisees having departed, they took counsel how they might trap him in his talk.
16 Pe akasung'ha kwa Yesu avavulanisivua vaave palikimobna vavingiliili va ntwa u Herode. Avavulanisivua vala vakamposia vakati,”Ghwe Mb'ulanisi, tukagwile kuuti uve ulimuunhu ghwa kyang'haani ghuvulanisia mu vwakyang'haani sino ilonda u Nguluve. Kange naghukwoghopa nambe muunhu vwimila uvuvaha vwaake.
And they send out their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou are true, and teach the way of God in truth, and it is not a concern to thee about a man, for thou look not to the personage of men.
17 Lino tuvuule, ghuvona ndaani indaghilo sa Moose sikwitikisia kusonga isongo kwa Kaisali?”
Tell us therefore, what does it seem to thee? Is it permitted to give tribute to Caesar or not?
18 Neke u Yesu akakagula amasaghe ghaave amaviivi akavamula akati,”Mwe vakedusi umue kiki mukungela?
But Jesus having known their wickedness, said, Why do ye tempt me, ye hypocrites?
19 Muhufie ihela jino mwa musonga isongo.”Vakamuletela idinali jimo.
Exhibit to me the tribute money. And they brought to him a denarius.
20 Akavaposia akati,”Ikihwani nu vulembe fino fili mu hela iji fyani?”
And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription?
21 Vakamwamula vakati,”Fya Kaisali.”Pepano u Yesu akavavuula akati,”Ifya Kaisali mumpelaghe uKaisali ifya Nguluve mumpelaghe u Nguluve.”
They say to him, Caesar's. Then he says to them, Therefore, render the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.
22 Ye vapulike ulwamulo lwa Yesu vakadegha kyongo. Vakamuleka pala vakavuuka viluta.
And when they heard it, they marveled. And having left him, they departed.
23 Ikighono kilakila aVasadukayi vamonga vakaluta kwa Yesu, A Vasadukayi kye kipugha mu lwitiko lwa Kiyahudi vano viiti nakwelule ulusyukolwa vafue. Vakamposia vakati,
On that day Sadducees came to him, those who claim to be no resurrection. And they questioned him, saying,
24 Ghwe M'bulanisi, u Moose alyalembile ululaghilo kuuti nave umuunhu afwile kisila mwana, unnine anoghile kuhaala umfwile jula kuuti ampapile avaana anyakusila.
Teacher, Moses said, If some man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother.
25 Lino kwevalyale avanamuunhu lekelalubale. Ughwa kwanda akatoola un'dala akafua kisila kuleka mwana. Ughwa vuvili akamhaala umfwile jula.
Now there were with us seven brothers. And the first having married perished. And having no seed left his wife to his brother.
26 Ghwope akafua kisila kuleka mwana Ghwoope ughwa vutatu lukavombeka vulevule kuhanga kufika ughwa lekela lubale.
Likewise also the second, and the third, until the seventh.
27 Pambele, ghwoope un'dala umfwile jula akafua.
And last of all, the woman also died.
28 Lino ikighono ikya kusyuka avaanhu vooni umfwile jula iliiva n'dala ghwani mu vala lekelalubale? Ulwakuuva vooni valyantolile.”
In the resurrection therefore, which of the seven will she be wife? For they all had her.
29 U Yesu akamula akati,”Musova, ulwakuva namukagwile aMalembe aMimike nambe ingufu sa Nguluve.
But having answered, Jesus said to them, Ye are led astray, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 Ulwakuuva avafue valaava visyuka, nakwekulaava kutoola nambe kutolua. viliiva ndavule avanyamola ava kukyanya.
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as agents of God in heaven.
31 Neke vwimila kusyuka avafue namwimbile mu Malembe aMimike sino u Nguluve alyavavulile avakuulu viinu kuuti,
But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,
32 Une neene Nguluve ghwa Abulahamu, Nguluve ghwa Isaka, Nguluve ghwa Yakovo? u Yesu akavavuula kange kuuti u Nguluve na Nguluve ghwa vafue looli Nguluve ghwa vuumi.”
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not God of the dead, but of the living.
33 Avaanhu mu mapugha ghala ye apulike imbulanisio saake vakadegha kyongo.
And when the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his doctrine.
34 A Vafalisayi ye vapulike kuuti u Yesu avamwile a Vasadukayi, kuhanga vakunilue ikya kujova vakakong'haana palikimo vakaluta kwa Yesu.
But the Pharisees, having heard that he silenced the Sadducees, they came together in the same place.
35 Um'bulanisi jumonga ughwa ndaghilo sa Moose mu Vafalisayi vala akamughela u Yesu akamposia akati.
And one of them, a lawyer, questioned, trying him, and saying,
36 “Ghwe M'bulanisi ululaghilo luliku luno luvaha kukila indaghilo sooni?”
Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 U Yesu akamwamula akati,”Umughanaghe u Mutwa u Nguluve ghwako nu mwojo ghwako, ghwoni ni ngufu saako sooni nu luhala lwako lwoni.
And Jesus said to him, Thou shall love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind.
38 Ulu lwe lulaghilo uluvaha kange lwe lwa kwanda.
This is the first and great commandment.
39 Ululaghilo ulwa vuvili luno luling'hiine nu lwa kwanda lwe ulu, Umughanaghe unnino ndavule ghukughana juuve.
And the second is like it, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 Indaghilo sooni isa Moose ni mbulanisio isa vavili sihuma mu ndaghilo isi ivili.”
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 A Vafalisayi ye vajiighe vakong'hanile palikimo u Yesu akavaposia akati.
Now the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus interrogated them, saying,
42 Asi, mwiti kiki vwimila u Kilisite? Mwiti mwana ghwani? Vakamwamula vakati,”Mwana ghwa David.”
What does it seem to you about the Christ? Whose son is he? They say to him, Of David.
43 U Yesu akavaposia akati,”Nave fye lulivuo lwandani u Davidi ye alongosivue nu Mhepo ghwaNguluve ikuntambula u Kilisite Mutwa Pano iiti,
He says to them, How then does David in Spirit call him Lord, saying,
44 'U Mutwa u Nguluve alyam'bulile u Mutwa ghwango,”Uuve nubvutavulilua palikimo nune kuhanga nikutange avaleme avalugu vaako uvateme.”'?”
The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet?
45 Lino nave u Davidi ikuntambula u Kilisite iiti, “Mutwa,”lwandani uKilisite iiva mwanaake?”
If David therefore calls him Lord, how is he his son?
46 Nakwealyale umuunhu juno akaghela kukwamula ilisio, kuhuma unsiki ughuo nalyangiile kukumposia kange.
And no man was able to answer him a word, nor did any man from that day dare to question him any more.
