Mark 12 (LYN) · Opened

1Cwale Jesu sebeli otateka okwamba kwa onyene mu tinguli nji, “Kame kuna kwikalanga omulume munjili woyo ona kukuna elitema lyaye, mi sebeli obeeka olukwakwa okutingulusa elitema lyonje, ni kutombola owina nji abeeke mo ewaine mane ni kuyakabo etawala mi sebeli olisiyela alimi nji alimangemo ni kuta omwendo waya mu naha indina.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.

2Cwale enako aba ina kukwana no kukutula, sebeli otumako omubeleki waye kwa limi nji akashimbe ku timbuya na mu litema.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Mi sebeli amu shimba ni kumufula ni kumucita mane ni kumuusa youlwile esi ana kushimba.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Kame sebeli otumako omubeleki mundina mi ni yonyene sebeli aka mulemeka mu mutwi, ni kumwenisa onene.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Cwsale sebeli otumako omunjiili kame, cwale woyo sebeli akamwibaa. Kame sebeli otumako ano kupula anjili sebeli akafuliwako anjili okwibaiwa.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6Ku mamaneneno sebeli omutumako mwanaye ana kusinga onene ni kwamba nji, ‘Uyu mbaka mukuteke kakuli ni mwanange.’Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7Kono alimi sebeli akwaambela mukaci koo nji, ‘Uyu yoshwana okeile muya yo mwanaye omunya litema, twendenyi tu mwibae cwale nji oufumu waye utende wetu!’But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Cwale sebeli amulema ni kumwibaa ni kuyumbela esitupu saye kundee no litema no beine.So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9Cwale Jesu sebeli waibanguta nji, “Iikene satende omunya litema? Mba iyi mukwiibaa alimi awo ni kubeeka elitema mu maata no anjili.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Kana kamwa sibala Elin̄olo eli? “Eliwee ana kukana ayaki nali futuka okutenda eli no tuso onene ku mawee onje?Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11Uyu neli Mbumu woyo ona kutenda ngeeso, mi kome ikomokisa mu miyo etu!’”This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Cwale sebeli aeteka nji amununge, kono sebeli acila aanu, kakuli nakulimuka nji kame amba eyi nguli okwa lwisa, cwale sebeli amusiya nukutela.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.

13Cwale sebeli atuma kwa yonyene Afalisi anjili ni kalulo injili no anu a Heloda nji aka muswase mu etipuzo.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Mi sebeli aiya ni kwamba kwa yonyene nji, “Mwiyeti, tulimukile nji kame wambanga eniti, mi kaukwite etaba neyo aamba aanu, mi kukwite taba nomo aikalele omunu, kono kame osimweta etato ya Nyambe kwaanu. Kana naku pumenenwe okuteneka omutelo kwa Sizale nji kakwa sipumenenwa?“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?”

15Twaa teneke nji tulese kuteneka?” Kono Jesu mulibaka no kukuba koo, sebeli waatambula nji, “Iikene aba muneteka? Komu nilitele amali no muwayawaya nji nimonebo.”But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Sebeli amulitela imweya, mi sebeli waibanguta nji, “Esifateho ni litina ilibo aba niyaa nyine?” Sebeli amutambula nji, “Ya Sizale.”So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Cwale Jesu sebeli wamba kwa onyene nji, “Mube Sizale ya Sizale, ni kwa Nyambe ya Nyambe” Cwale sebeli akomoka onene okutambula kwaye.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Cwale Asaduki sebeli aiya kwa yonyene amba nji omunu abaafa kakwisa okwinguka, mi sebeli aiya kwa yonyene ni kumwibanguta nji,Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19“Omwiyeti, Mushe nakutu n̄olela okwamba nji, Mukulowe abaafa mi kame asiya mukataye yokakwite omwana, minaye simba mukulwaye no mulume akwate woyo mukataye nji aleyeleko mukulwaye simba minaye aana.’“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.

20Nakukwikalanga andumbana no kukwana mutanu na yiili, omweeli sebeli okwata mukataye, mi cwale abana kufa kasikusiya omwana,Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21cwale ondundamweli sebeli okwata woyo mukati mi niyonyene sebeli ofa oku nambulwa omwana, mi sebeli kutendahala ngeeso nikwa woyo no waatu.Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22Mi onje mutanu na yiili naku mukwata kono sebeli afa oku nambulwa aana, mane kumamaneneno ni mukati sebeli ofa.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Cwale abo abasa inguke onje, anyine so tenda omunya mukati? Kakuli onje mutanu na yiili naku mukwatanga.”In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Jesu sebeli waibanguta nji, “Kamu limukile nji namufoso? Kakuli kamuyii aman̄olo ni maata a Nyambe.Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Abo cwale ano kufa abasa inguke kakutamba kwikala okukwata simba okukwalwa kono mbafeke kanyi amangeloi mu liwilu.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Cwale kweyi no kwingulwa kwafu, kamwa sibala mu buka ya Mushe, mu mubamba ou wamba eyino siputa, omo ana kwambelela Nyambe kwa yonyene nji, “Time Nyambe wa Abulahama Nyambe wa Isaka mane ni Nyambe wa Jakobo.’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’?

27Kasa Nyambe wawo no kufa kono Nyambe wawo asikuyoya. Na mufoso!”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Cwale omunjili no aiyeti no mulawo na kwikalako abaana kukananisanga. Mi nakumona nji Jesu naatambula wino, ababo sebeli oiya kwa yonyene ni kumwibanguta nji, “Ibine etaelo inene ku titaelo tonje?”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?”

29Jesu sebeli otambula nji, Etaelo inene ino, “Oyupe, weene Isilaele! Ombumu Nyambe wetu ni mumweya.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Osinge Ombumu Nyambe ni mucima wowe wonje, ni mooyo wowe wonje, ni tingana towe mane ni maata owe onje.’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Eyi no wiili ino, ‘Osingi woyo oyakile naye kanyi omo okusingela weenyene.’ Kakwisa etaelo inene okubita eti.”The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Cwale omwiyeti no mulawo sebeli wambela Jesu nji, “Kame wamba eniti, Mwiyeti! nwamba eniti aba wamba nji ni mumweya mi niyonyene feela kakwisa mundina.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Mi muku musinga onene ni mucima wowe wonje, mane muku yupisisa kowe konje ni maata onje, ni kusinga omukowe kanyi omo okusingela weenyene, ni yautokwa onene okubita etinubu no kucin̄a ni itabelo.”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.”

34Cwale Jesu abaana mona nji natambula mukushanganma, sebeli wamba kwa yonyene nji, “Kauli oku no kuleba ni mubuso wa Nyambe.” Mi munyima no eyo, kakwisa woyo no kuba okumwibanguta epuzo yonje.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.

35Cwale abo Jesu abana iyetanga mu Ndoo ya Nyambe, sebeli wibanguta nji, “Cwale ngasibine aiyeti no mulawo aba amba nji Kilesite ni mwanaa Dabida?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Dabida yonyene yokame ona kwamba ni Mebo No Kukena nji, ‘Ombumu naamba kwa mbumu wange nji, Oikale ku lyoko lyange no silyo, konji aba sani beeke esiila senu ku nji no makondo enu.’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.”’

37Dabida yonyene luli kame amwisananga nji Mbumu, cwale Kilesite ngasibine satende mwanaye Dabida?” Mi aanu no kupula kame ana kumuyupa wino.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Cwale mukusimweta kwaye sebeli wamba nji, “Mumamele eyi no aiyeti no mulawo, ao asinga okuta mu tindila ni tinyambi no kuleba, mane ni kubiwa elikute mu ibaka no misika,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,

39ni kwikala ba ipula no kuwaba mu tindoo no milapelo mane ni ibaka no kuwaba ba nako no mikiti,and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40aa kame alyela etimbakati einu yoo mulibaka no kwatendela etitapelo no kuleba. Mba tambula ekoto yoo inene.They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Cwale sebeli okaikalela abeebi ni sibaka no tinubu okumona omo ana kubeekelanga amali aanu mu siwana no tinubu. Afumi no kupula alemine okuyumbelanga amali no kupula mu iwana.As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Mi cwale ombakati no kusheba ni yonyene sebeli oiya, ni kuyumbela mo otupene twiili no muwayawaya.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Cwale Jesu sebeli oisana aiyetwa aye ni kwamba kwa onyene nji, “Niti luli kame nimyambela nji, uyu mbakati no kusheba na beeke okubita onje alemine okubeeka amali mu siwana no tinubu.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.

44Kakuli anjili kame atundisa abo bali esinjili, kono woyo yonyene kame ana tundisa abo kuulwile, kame nabi abo ayoyela omooyo waye wonje.”For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
