< Mark 12 >

1 He began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it, dug a pit for the wine press, built a tower, rented it out to a farmer, and went into another country.
Che Yesu ŵatandite kuŵecheta nawo kwa itagu achitiji, “Mundu jumo ŵalimile ngunda wa misabibu. Ŵausunguchisye lutenje ni ŵasolite pakuminyila sabibu, ni ŵataŵile chilindo cha penani. Nipele ŵaajasimisye ŵandu ngunda wo, nombejo ŵajawile kuchilambo chine.
2 When it was time, he sent a servant to the farmer to get from the farmer his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
Katema ka magungulo, ŵantumile kapolo jwao ku ngunda wa misabibu kwa ŵakulima ŵala kukujigala chigaŵanyo cha magowolo gao.
3 They took him, beat him, and sent him away empty.
Ŵakulima ŵala ŵankamwile kapolo jo, ŵamputile ni kumminga makono pe.
4 Again, he sent another servant to them; and they threw stones at him, wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully treated.
Nipele nsyene ngunda jula, ŵantumile sooni kapolo jwine. Ŵakulima ŵala ŵammulesye mu ntwe kapolo jo ni kumpanganyichisya indu ya soni.
5 Again he sent another, and they killed him, and many others, beating some, and killing some.
Iyoyo peyo, nsyene ngunda jo ŵantumile sooni kapolo jwine, jwelejo ŵagambile kumbulaga. Ni ŵane ŵajinji uŵatumikwe, ŵane ŵaputikwe ni ŵane ŵaulajikwe.”
6 Therefore still having one, his beloved son, he sent him last to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
Che Yesu ŵajendelechele kuŵecheta, “Mundu jula ŵasigalilwe ni mundu jumo, mwanagwe jwakunonyelwa. Mbesi jakwe ŵantumile jwelejo achitiji, ‘Champikanile pakuŵa ali mwanangu.’
7 But those farmers said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
“Nambo ŵakulima ŵala paŵammweni ŵaŵechetesyene achitiji, ‘Aju ni juchapochele iŵagosele, twende tummulaje kuti indu iŵagosele tujigale uwe!’
8 They took him, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
Nipele ŵankamwile ni kummulaga ni kumponyela paasa pa ngunda wa misabibu wo.”
9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.
Che Yesu ŵausisye, “Nipele, ana nsyene ngunda wo chaachitenda chichi? Chaiche ni kwaulaga ŵakulima wo ni kwapa ŵakulima ŵane ngunda wa misabibu wo.
10 Haven’t you even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner.
Ana nganinsyome Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu? ‘Liganga liŵalikanile ŵakutaŵa sambano, lilyolyo litendekwe liganga lyekulungwa lya nsingi.
11 This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes’?”
Ambuje ni ŵachitesile chindu chi, nombecho chikutusimosya!’”
12 They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him and went away.
Achakulu ŵambopesi ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ni achachekulu, ŵaimanyi kuti chitagu cho chaliji nkwagamba ŵanyawo. Ŵasachile ŵakamule Che Yesu, nambo ŵajogwepe ŵandu, ŵannesile, ni ŵanyawo ŵatyosile.
13 They sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him, that they might trap him with words.
Kanyuma, Mafalisayo ŵampepe ni ŵandu ŵa mpingo u che Helode, ŵatumikwe kuti akaatanjisye Che Yesu kwa maloŵe gao.
14 When they had come, they asked him, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and don’t defer to anyone; for you aren’t partial to anyone, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
Ŵaajaulile ni kwasalila, “Jwakwiganya, tukumanyilila kuti alakwe ni mundu junkuŵecheta yaili isyene, pakuŵa ngankogopa ukulu wa mundu namose nganinkola lusagu, nambo nkwiganya usyene wa litala lya Akunnungu. Ntusalile, ana ili yambone pane ngaŵa yambone kwausya nsongo kwa Mwenye jwa ku Loma? Tujaule tukalipe pane tunajaule?”
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give?” But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, “Why do you test me? Bring me a denarius, that I may see it.”
Nambo Che Yesu ŵaumayilile ulamba wao, ŵausisye, “Kwachichi nkuuninga? Muunyichisye mbiya najilole.”
16 They brought it. He said to them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.”
Ŵampelechele mbiya jo. Nombejo ŵausisye, “Ana ku meeso ku ni liina li, ya acheni?” Ni ŵanyawo ŵanjanjile, “Ya Mwenye jwa ku Loma.”
17 Jesus answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.
Nipele Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Yaili ya Mwenye jwa ku Loma mwapeje Mwenye jwa ku Loma ni yaili ya Akunnungu mwapeje Akunnungu.” Ŵandu ŵala ŵansimosile nnope Che Yesu.
18 Some Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection, came to him. They asked him, saying,
Nipele Masadukayo ŵakuti ngapagwa kusyuka ŵanjaulile Che Yesu ni kummusya,
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote to us, ‘If a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife behind him, and leaves no children, that his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.’
“Jwakwiganya, che Musa ŵatulembele kuti, ‘Mundu awililwagwa ni mpwakwe ni mundu jwawile jo annekaga ŵankwakwe pangali ŵanache, mpwakwe mundu jo akusachilwa annombele jwakuwililwa jo kuti ammelechele mpwakwe ŵanache.’
20 There were seven brothers. The first took a wife, and dying left no offspring.
Tujileje, ŵapali achachanda nsano ni ŵaŵili, jwa kwitiwo ŵalombele nambo ŵawile pangaleka mwanache.
21 The second took her, and died, leaving no children behind him. The third likewise;
Ni jwaaŵili ŵajinjile majuumba, nombejo ŵawile pangaleka mwanache. Yakopochele iyoyo ni kwa mpwakwe jwaatatu.
22 and the seven took her and left no children. Last of all the woman also died.
Wose nsano ni ŵaŵili wo, ŵawile pangaleka ŵanache. Mbesi jakwe jwankongwe jo ŵawile nombejo.
23 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them? For the seven had her as a wife.”
Nipele, pa lyuŵa lya kusyuka kwa ŵandu, jwankongwe jo chachiŵa jwa ŵaani? Pakuŵa achalongo wose nsano ni ŵaŵili ŵala ŵannombele jwelejo.”
24 Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God?
Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe nsochele, ligongo ngankugamanyilila Malembelo ga Akunnungu namose machili ga Akunnungu.
25 For when they will rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
Ŵandu ŵawile pachachisyuka, ngasalombela atamuno kulombwa, chachiŵa mpela achikatumetume ŵa kwinani.
26 But about the dead, that they are raised, haven’t you read in the book of Moses about the Bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
Nambo ngani jankati kusyuka kwa ŵandu ŵawile, ana nganinsyome mmalembo ga che Musa, ngani ja chisukutu chichakolelaga mooto? Akunnungu ŵansalile che Musa, ‘Une ndili Akunnungu ŵa che Iblahimu ni Akunnungu ŵa che Isaka ni Akunnungu ŵa che Yakobo.’
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are therefore badly mistaken.”
Nipele, ŵelewo nganaŵa Akunnungu ŵa ŵandu ŵawile, nambo ali Akunnungu ŵa ŵandu ŵajumi. Ŵanyamwe nsochele nnope.”
28 One of the scribes came and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the greatest of all?”
Jumo jwa ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵaiche pelepo ni ŵagapilikene makani gao. Paŵaiweni kuti Che Yesu ŵaajanjile uchenene Masadukayo ŵala, ŵansejelele Che Yesu ni kumbusya, “Ana Lilajisyo chi lyalili lyekulu kupunda gose?”
29 Jesus answered, “The greatest is: ‘Hear, Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Che Yesu ŵajanjile, “Lilajisyo lyalili lyekulu ni ali: ‘Mpilikane, ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli! Ambuje Akunnungu ŵetu, jika pe ali Ambuje.
30 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment.
Mwanonyele Ambuje Akunnungu ŵenu kwa ntima wenu wose ni kwa umi wenu wose ni kwa lunda lwenu wose ni kwa machili genu gose.’
31 The second is like this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Lilajisyo lyaaŵili lyalili lyekulu lili ali: ‘Munnonyele njenu mpela inkuti pakulinonyela mwasyene.’ Ngapagwa Lilajisyo liine lyalili lyekulu kupunda Malajisyo gaŵili ga.”
32 The scribe said to him, “Truly, teacher, you have said well that he is one, and there is none other but he;
Nipele, jwakwiganya Malajisyo jula ŵansalile Che Yesu, “Jwakwiganya, njanjile yambone! Isyene Akunnungu ali ŵamo pe, ni ngapagwa jwine nambo ŵelewo jika pe.
33 and to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
Ni mundu akusachilwa annonyele Akunnungu ni ntima wose ni lunda lwao lose ni machili gao gose ni kunnonyela njakwe mpela yakuti pakulinonyela nsyene. Kutenda yeleyo ili yambone kupunda kwatyochesya Akunnungu mbopesi sya kocha ni sadaka sine syasikutyosyekwa kwa Akunnungu.”
34 When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” No one dared ask him any question after that.
Che Yesu paŵaiweni kuti mundu jo ajanjile kwa lunda ŵansalile, “Mmwejo nganimme kwakutalichila kwalechelela Akunnungu antawale.” Kutandilila katema ko ngapagwa mundu juŵalinjile sooni kumbusya Che Yesu chachili chose.
35 Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
Che Yesu paŵaliji nkwajiganya ŵandu pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵausisye ŵandu, “Kwachichi ŵakwiganya Malajisyo akusala kuti Kilisito, ali jumo pe mu uŵelesi u che Daudi?
36 For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.”’
Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵanlongwesye che Daudi, nombejo ŵatite, ‘Ambuje ŵansalile Ambuje ŵangu, Ntame kundyo kwangu, mpaka pachinaatamiche ŵammagongo ŵenu paasi pa sajo syenu.’
37 Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.
“Che Daudi nsyene akummilanga Kilisito, ‘Ambuje,’ iŵele uli sooni Kilisito aŵe jumo pe mu uŵelesi u che Daudi?” Mpingo wa ŵandu ŵampilikanile kwa lukondwa.
38 In his teaching he said to them, “Beware of the scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and to get greetings in the marketplaces,
Che Yesu paŵajiganyaga ŵatite, “Nlilolechesye ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ŵakusaka kwendajenda ali awete minjilo jajileu, ŵakunonyelwa akomasikwe kwa kuchimbichikwa peuto pakusumichisya malonda.
39 and to get the best seats in the synagogues and the best places at feasts,
Sooni akunonyelwa kutama mu itengu ya mmbujo, mmajumba ga kupopelela Ŵayahudi ni kutama mmauto ga kuchimbichikwa, pa chindimba cha chakulya.
40 those who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
Kwa kwalambusya, akwasumula ipanje achakongwe ŵawililwe ni achiŵankwawo, ni kwa kulilosya kuti ali ŵandu ŵambone, akupopela mapopelo gamaleu. Kwalyele ligongo lyo, chalamulikwe kwa chikali nnope kupunda ŵandu ŵane.”
41 Jesus sat down opposite the treasury and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much.
Che Yesu ŵatemi chiŵandi ni lisanduku lya kugosela sadaka pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵaliji nkulolechesya ŵandu paŵalinji nkutaga mbiya. Ŵaipanje ŵajinji ŵatasile mbiya syasijinji.
42 A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.
Nipele ŵaiche jwankongwe jwakulaga jwawililwe ni ŵankwawo, jwelejo ŵatasile mbiya syasinandi siŵili.
43 He called his disciples to himself and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury,
Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaaŵilasile ŵakulijiganya ŵao, ŵaasalile, “Isyene ngunsalila, jwankongwe jwakulaga jwawililwe ni ŵankwakwe ju, atasile yejinji mu lisanduku lya kugosela sadaka, kwapunda ŵandu ŵane wose.
44 for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”
Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵane wose atasile sadaka syao kutyochela mu yakupunda ya mu ipanje yao. Nambo jwankongwe ju nkulaga kwakwe, atasile yose yakwete.”
