Mark 12 (MGH2016)

1Paahi etu Yesu nkoolhumana wo malhikaaniho, “Ahaawo ntu aalhimme imata yo zabibu, nkaarukureriha ukucho, nkaathipa nlhikiti no waamelha izabibu ni ishanja yo ulhitelhelha imata. Nkaashimiha imata awe iyo anamalhima, nkaarwa nkwaha wo utayi.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.

2Nlhaalha wo utokotta izabibu waayilhe aya, nkanruma karumiya arwee apochere mahalha.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Anamalhima alhe nkayammara karumiya uyo, nkayaamwata, nkayanhokolhosha mathatharu.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Nkanruma tho karumiya nkina, anamalhima nkayaamwata mmuruni ni umpangelhacha chittu cho wulhiha muru.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Anene imata nkayanruma karumiya nkina, nkeeviya, ni akina enchi yaarumiye aapangelhiya thoko chiicho, akina waatiya ni wiivakachiya akina.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6Ntu mmoka aari hinarumiya aari mwaamwanaya onnyara anttuna aya chinene. Nkanruma ni uyo eecherelhaka wiira, ‘Kinoona wiira anokonlhoha mwaamwanaka kinonttuna aka ulha.’Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7Nansho yamwooneke, anamalhima nkayaahimerianacha ashineneru, ‘Ulha vano phi mwaamwanaya anene imata. Nngwe nimwive, ni nhakhu ulha ukhalheke wawihu!’But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Paahi etu nkayammara ni umwiiva ni unrihelha uchereshere ukucho wo imata yo zabibu.”So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9Yesu nkaakoha, “Vano mwanene imata yo zabibu ulhe nohalha wiira chani? Nowa weeva anamalhima onkhaye ni waashimiha imata awe iyo attu akina.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Nhoshoma Malhove Matakatifu wiira, ‘Nlhuku nikhotiye ni atheki wiira khaninlhoka, nihothathuwa ukhalha vano no nsingi no vakhoonani.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11Athithi anene phi pannge, chi chinooshangihani chi!’ ”This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Aholhelhi a Ayahudi nkayaalhikacha ummara Yesu, ukhalhawaya yaari achuwelhaka wiira nenno nlhikaaniho nno naari naachaka. Nansho nkayoova attu. Nkayanhiya arwee.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.

13Amafarisayo akina ni attu o nlhoko wa Naherode nkayaarumiya urwaa unriaa Yesu wo unkoha chookohiya.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Nkayaawa ni unkoha, “Owiittuchiha, nihochuwelha wiira inyu nri mu uhimiani ikeekhene, wo uhimwoova ntu. Khannonlhoha ntu chinre awe, nansho chineetuchiha inyu chiri cho ikekhia ya Nlhuku. Nnihimerieke etu, chani vahorera waalhiva Nakaisari ikhodi? Naalhiveke ama nihaalhive?”“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?”

15Nansho Yesu ahochuwelha yoyo unafiki uyo nkaakhulha eeraka, “Veeshiyani ukiriaa? Kivahekeni etu nikobilhi nno koone.”But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Nkayammaha nikhobilhi nimoka, ni uyo nkaakoha, “Ilha ikhove ilha, ni nna nchina nna niri na apani?” Nkayaakhulhacha wiira, “Chi Nakaisari.”So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Yesu nkaahimia tho wiira, “Mwaalhiveke Nakaisari iri ya Nakaisari ni ummaha Nlhuku iri ya Nlhuku.” Nkayaanshanga Yesu.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Attu akina munkutirani mwa Amasadukayo, aavanyiha wiira khuuwo uhihimmwa, nkayaawacha wa Yesu unkohani, nkayeera,Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19“Owiittuchiha, ashinna Musa aholhepa anihimeriaka wiira, ‘Ntu arimeelhaka aahiyaka amwarawe ahinayara, ahima awe anowooria ukelha manupa ni waayarelha ashaana arimeelhe ayo.’“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.

20Yakhalhaka yaari ashilhoko saba, olhupalhe ayo ahothelha nkaakhwa wo uhaahiya ashaana.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21O nayelhi ayo ni ayo chiicho, nkaakhwa wo uhaahiya ashaana. Ni o neraru chiicho,Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22ni akina aahalhenlhe ayo, onkhaye saba akelhaka manupa ni ukhwa wo uhahiya ashaana. Wo umalhihera, athiyana ayo nkayaakhwa.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Vano etu, nihuku no uhihimushiya attu akhwilhe nno, mpani nohalha ukhalha phi owannyaya athiyana alhe? Ukhalhawaya onkhaye saba ahaathelha.”In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Yesu nkaakhulha eeraka wiira, “Nhowonya mwaattiva ayi! Nchuwelhaka wo nlhatu wani? Ukhalhawaya khanchuwenlhe Malhove Matakatifu ama machiri a Nlhuku.Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Ukhalhawaya attu akhwilhe vanohalha aya uhihimushiya khanowa aathelha ama uthelhiya, onohalha ukhalha thoko minepa o wiirimu.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Vano vavawo, wo uhihimmwa attu mwaattiva khannaye ushoma Malhove Matakatifu a ashinna Musa nlhako unhimiacha mwaha wo ithuphi yaapharelha mooro? Iholhepiya vavawo, Nlhuku aheerelha ashinna Musa wiira, ‘Mii phi Nlhuku a Aburahimu ni Naisaka ni Nayakhobo.’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’?

27Paahi ri Nlhuku a attu akumi, kahiwe akhwilhe. Mwaattiva onkhaye nhopotera chinene!”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Owiittuchiha Malhehero amoka aari vavawo eewelhelhaka. Nkoona wiira Yesu ahaakhulha Asadukayo ayo nlhove noolhoka, ni uyo nkaawa ankohaka Yesu eeraka, “Nlheheriyo naani niri nulhupalhe upwaha nikina?”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 nkaakhulha, “Nooholhelha phi nna, ‘Nkeewani inyu Naisraeli! Apwiiya Nlhuku phi Nlhuku Athithi ari vekha!Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Mwaattune Athithi Nlhuku inyu wo nrima inyu wonkhaye ni wo nnepa winyu wonkhaye ni wo irusho chinyu chonkhaye ni wo machiri inyu onkhaye.’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31No nayelhi phi nna, ‘Mwaattuneke amwaatamana inyu thoko chineettuna inyu mwaanene.’ Khaawo malheheriyo makina ari molhupalhe tho upwaha alha melhi alha.”The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Owiittuchiha Malhehero ulhe, nkeera, “Nhomanya, Owiittuchiha! Nhohimia ikeekhene wiira Apwiiya Nlhuku phi yayo ari vekha, khaawo nkina olhupalhe ahikhalhe yayo.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Ni kila ntu hothananiya waattuna wo nrima wawe wonkhaye ni wo irusho chawe chonkhaye ni wo machiri awe onkhaye, ni waattuna amwaatamana aya thoko chineettuna aya ashinene, ilhokaka upwaha wo ukumiha isadaka cha ashinama ni isadaka chikina wa Nlhuku.”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 nkoona wiira yayo owiittuchiha ayo ahaakhulha rata, nkaahimeria wiira, “Khanrii utayi ni Imwene ya Nlhuku.” Wo umalhihera vavawo, khaawo tho ntu ankohakonhe Yesu chookohiya chikina.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.

35Yesu vaari awe eetuchihaka Inupa ya Nlhuku, nkaakoha, “Woonaka owiittuchiha Malhehero anohimiechesha wiira Kuristo Moopolhi nohalha ukhalha mwaana a Adaudi?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Adaudi anene wo uholhelhiya ni Iphumu ya Nlhuku aheera, ‘Athithi ahaahimeria Athithi, Nkakhalhani wiimonono waka Mpaka nihuku vanohalha aka waathalha amalhaponi inyu wuuthi inyaa chinyu wiira mwaanyikalhelhe.’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.”’

37“Adaudi anene anehana yayo ‘Athithi.’ Chommo nlhatu wani Kuristo Moopolhi ukhalha mwaana a Adaudi?” Attu enchi aari amwiwelhelhaka Yesu ateelhiyaka nrima.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Yesu veettuchiha awe nkeera, nkaahimia tho eeraka, “Mwiichinanelheke ni Owiittuchiha Malhehero anoviravira anawerenlhe miinjiro cho utalhiva achivelhiyaka ukohachiya wo nthimicho vakittu vanopangachiya maronda,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,

39ateelhiyaka ukhalha mapuro o miholho, mmanupani mwo unlhapelha Nlhuku ni vakittu vanokumaana aya attu.and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Anowaathurulhacha anankhwelhi chittu mmanupani mwaya, eepangaka attu o ulhapelha wo uhoochaa. Nihuku ni uhukumulhiya anowa utwarushiya wo uweria chinene!”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Yesu aari nakhanlhe vachereshere iphache yo uhelhiya isadaka wi Inupa ya Nlhuku, nkoona attu cheera aya wo ukumiha isadaka chaya. Attu o nhakhu enchi aakumiha nchurukhu mwinchi.As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Paahi vavawo nkaawa anankhwelhi amoka ahirina ittu, nkaakumiha isenti pilhi.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Yesu nkeehanacha owiittucha awe ni uwerelha, “Kinouhimeriani wo ikekhiaye wiira, alha anankhwelhi ashikini alha ahohelha mphacheni isadaka yinchi waapwaha attu onkhaye akumihilhe mu.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.

44Ukhalhawaya attu akhwawe ayo akuminhe chithempe munhakhuni mwaya, nansho alha apwiyawe ashikini alha, akuminhe chonkhaye chaakhulhuvelha aya ulhama.”For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
