Mark 12 (BOU) · Opened

1Naho Yesu akavoka kugombeka nao kwa misimo, “Mntu yumwe kaima mnda wa mizabibu akazenga ukanto, na gatigati akagosoa hantu ha kukamuiia divai, akazenga mnaa aho. Naho akauazima uda mnda kwa waimi akatamba kuita si ya hae.”Then Jesus began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a wine vat, and built a watchtower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.

2Kisingi cha ubosi chekubuaho, akamwagiiya mndima wakwe kwa wada waimi, amwetee fungu dakwe da ubosi da yuda mwenye mnda.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Wada waimi wakamgwiiya, yuda mndima wakamtoa na kumvuza bue.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Mwenye mnda akamwagiiya mndima mtuhu, uyu nae wakamtoa mwe mtwi na kumtenda vyesavyo kutama.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Yuda mwenye mnda akamwagiiya mndima mtuhu, awo waimi wakamkoma na mwenye mnda akawaagiiya watuhu wangi, wakatoigwa na wangi wakakomwa.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6Mwenye mnda akasigaa na mntu yumwe ni mwanawe amkundisae. Nae akamwagiiya uyo akagombeka, “Wenda wamtunye mwanangu!”Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7Akini wada waimi wakaambizana, “Uyo ne mpazi haya timkome, upazi utende wetu.”But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Kwaiyo wakamgwiiya, wakamkoma na kumtambika chongoi ya uda mnda wa mizabibu.So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9Aho Yesu akawauza, “Mwenye mnda endaatende viivihi? Endaeze awadagamize awo waimi na kuazimisha mnda uwo wa mizabibu kwa waimi watuhu.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Khamzati kusoma Maandiko aya? ‘Iwe dekuemewado na wazengi isasa diwa iwe kuu da khandani.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11Zumbe ne mwekugosoa mbui inu, nado ni utangio kwetu!’”This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Waviki wakuu, Wahinyi wa Miko na wadaa wamanya yakuwa msimo uwo wawausu, wakageeza kumgwiya akini wakaogoha zumwezumwe da wantu aho wakambada wakaita.At this, the leaders sought to arrest Jesus, for they knew that He had spoken this parable against them. But fearing the crowd, they left Him and went away.

13Naho, wamwe wa Mafalisayo na kizumwezumwe cha Helode, wakaagiiwa kwa Yesu wamtege kwa mbui zakwe.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Wakambasa Yesu wakamwamba, “Mhinyi tamanya wee ni mntu mzumizi, ugombekaye ukwei. Naho khukauwa ukuu wa mntu yoyose, akini wahinya kwei sia ya Muungu. Ni vyedi kuiha kodi kwa Seuta mkuu wa Lumi? Tiihe hambu tesekuiha?”“Teacher,” they said, “we know that You are honest and seek favor from no one. Indeed, You are impartial and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them or not?”

15Akini Yesu ne amanya uhokho wao. Akawatambaisa, “Kwa mbwai mwanigeeza? Nekhani sensi niikauwe.”But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Wakamwegaiya sensi mwenga ne awauza, “Cheni na idi zina ni da ndai?” Ne wamtambaisa, “Ni vya Seuta mkuu wa Lumi.”So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Aho Yesu akawamba, “Ni vyedi mwekheni Seuta mkuu wa Lumi ayo yakwe na Muungu mwekheni yakwe.” Wakahondomazwa muno nae.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Naho, wamwe wa Masadukayo wamba khakuna kuyuyuka, wakambasa Yesu na kumuuza,Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19“Mhinyi, Musa katiagiiya ivi, ‘Mntu akauya na nyuma na kumbada mkaziwe kwesiho kuvyaa. Nduguye akundigwa amdoe yuda mvyee mwekufiwa ni mgosi, adahe kumvyaia wana.’“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man is to marry his brother’s widow and raise up offspring for him.

20Naho nekuwa na ndugu mfungate, yuda wa bosi kategua, akauya na nyuma kwesiho kubada mwana.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21Ndugu wakaidi naye akampaa yuda mvyee mwekufiwa ni mgosi, akini yee naye akauya na nyuma kwesiho kubada mwana. Viyaviya ndugu wa ntatu akauya na nyuma.Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22Wose mfungate wakauya na nyuma kwesiho kubada mwana. Ne yuda mvyee naye mwekufiwa ni mgosi akauya na nyuma.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Aho, msi wantu wendaho wayuyuke, mvyee uyo endaawe mkaza ndai? Kwaviya wose mfungate ne wamtegua.”In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Yesu akawatambaisa, “Nyie mwaga kwaviya khammanya Maandiko ya Muungu wala udaho wa Muungu.Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Kwaviya wantu wendaho wayuyuke, khawana wategue wala kutegulwa, iya wendawawe inga wandima wa uwanga wa Muungu.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Akini mbui ya kuyuyuka kwa wekufao, khamzati kusoma mwe kitabu cha Musa hantu ambaho kada katundugua kekuwacho chaka moto? Muungu akamwamba Musa, ‘Mie ni Muungu wa Ibulahimu na Muungu wa Isaka na Muungu wa Yakobo.’But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?

27Yee ni Muungu wa wantu wagima, na khio Muungu wa wada wekuuyao na nyuma. Ivyo mbanikiwa muno!”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Mhinyi yumwe wa miko akabua hada, akategeeza wahiganavyo. Ekuonaho Yesu kawatambaisa vitana yuda Sadukayo, ne ambasa Yesu na kumuuza, “Mwe amli zose ni ihi ya bosi?”Now one of the scribes had come up and heard their debate. Noticing how well Jesus had answered them, he asked Him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?”

29Yesu akamtambaisa, “Mwiko mkuu ni unu, ‘Tegeezani nywie wantu wa Isilaeli! Zumbe Muungu yetu ni yumwe Zumbe ikedu.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Mkunde Zumbe Muungu yako kwa moyo wako wose, kwa muye wako wose, na kwa akii zako zose na kwa mdundugo wako wose.’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Ya kaidi ni inu, ‘Mkunde mwenzio inga wekundisavyo mwenye.’ Khahana mwiko mkuu mtuhu kusima inu miidi.”The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Aho yuda Mhinyi wa Miko akamwamba Yesu, “Kugombeka vyedi Mhinyi! Muungu ni yumwe du na khahana Muungu mtuhu inga yee.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Naho yakundigwa mntu amkundise Muungu kwa moyo wose na kwa muye wose na kwa akii zose na kwa udaho wose, na kumkundisa mwenzio inga wekundisavyo mwenye. Mbui inu ni ntana kusima malavyo na ntambiko.”and to love Him with all your heart and with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

34Yesu ekuonaho yuda mntu kamtambaisa kwa kutintimaa akamwamba, “Wee khuho hae na Uzumbe wa Muungu.” Bada ya mbui ida khahana mntu yoyose mwekudaha kumuuza vituhu mbui yoyose.When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.

35Naho kisingi Yesu ekuwaho akahinya kwe Nyumba ya Muungu, akawauza, Wahinyi wa Miko wamba Klistu ni mwana Daudi?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36“Daudi mwenye akaongoewa na Muye wa Muungu akagombeka. ‘Zumbe akamwamba Zumbe yangu, ekaa mkono wangu wa kudiiya, hadi nendaho niwaike wamasa wako asi he miundi yako.’Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

37Daudi mwenye amwetanga Klistu Zumbe, aho Klistu endaawe viivihi mwanawe?” Zumwezumwe da wantu ne wakamtegeeza Yesu kwa kinyemi.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Yesu ekuwaho awahinya ne awamba, “Ekaani hae na Wahinyi wa Miko, wakundao kwemboka emboka wevaia khanzu zilehazo na kuuguswa ni wantu kwa tunyo mwe gwiiyo, wakunda kwekaa hantu ha tunyo he Nyumba ya kukintania Wayahudi,In His teaching Jesus also said, “Watch out for the scribes. They like to walk around in long robes, to receive greetings in the marketplaces,

39Wakunda kwekaa viti vya hemeso mwe Nyumba ya kuvikia Wayahudi na kwekhigwa phasi ha ntunyo mwe ntafuno.and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Wawakonya wavyee wekufiwao ni wagosi naho wegosoa kuvika kisingi kilehacho! Msi wa kuamuiwa wendawekhigwe sugusa khai!”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Yesu ekuwaho kekaa hehi na ntezu ya kuikia malavyo. Akawakauwa wantu wangi waavyavyo hea na kuika mwe ntezu ya Nyumba ya Muungu. Wantu wenye mai nyingi walavya hea nyingi.As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Aho ne eza mmaa yumwe mkiwa mwekufiwa ni mgosi, akalavya sensi mbii za shaba.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Aho Yesu akawetanga wahina wakwe akawamba, “Nawamba kwei mmaa uyu mkiwa mwekufiwa ni mgosi kagea hea nyingi mwe ntezu ya malavyo kusima wose wekulavyao.Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more than all the others into the treasury.

44Kwaviya Watuhu wose walavya mai zekuwamemeazo, akini uyu mmaa mwe ukiwa wakwe kalavya vyose ekuwavyonavyo hata kia chakumwambiza mwe ugima wakwe.”For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
