MKW
Na manima, Yesu bandaka na kuzonzila bawu na bingana: «Bakala mosi kunaka bilanga ya bayinti ya vinu, mpe zungaka yawu na kikaku. Yandi timunaka dibulu samu na kukamuna bambuma ya vinu, mpe tungaka yinzo ya yinda ya kibandu samu na mikengi. Na manima, yandi bikaka yawu na maboko ya bisadi-bilanga ya vinu, mpe kwendaka na nzyetolo.
BSB
BSB:
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.
2
MKW
Na ntangu ya kubuka bambuma ya vinu, yandi fidisaka kisadi mosi na sika ya bisadi-bilanga ya vinu samu na kuzwa kikunku ya yandi ya bambuma ya vinu.
BSB
BSB:
At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.
3
MKW
Kasi bisadi-bilanga ya vinu bwilaka kisadi yina. Bawu bulaka yandi, mpe vutulaka yandi maboko mpamba.
BSB
BSB:
But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4
MKW
Mfumu ya bilanga fidisaka dyaka kisadi ya nkaka. Bawu bulaka kisadi yango na yintu, mpe fingaka yandi.
BSB
BSB:
Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.
5
MKW
Yandi fidisaka dyaka kisadi ya nkaka, mpe bawu kufwaka kisadi yango. Bawu salaka mpe mutindu mosi na bisadi nyonso ya nkaka yina mfumu ya bilanga fidisaka. Bawu bulaka ba ya nkaka, mpe kufwaka ba ya nkaka.
BSB
BSB:
He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.
6
MKW
Mfumu ya bilanga bikanaka kaka na mwana mosi ya yandi yina yandi vwandaka zola mingi. Yandi fidisaka yandi na nsukunu, samu ti yandi vwandaka banza ti bawu ke zitisa mwana ya yandi.»
BSB
BSB:
Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
7
MKW
Kasi bisadi-bilanga ya vinu tubaka bawu na bawu: «“Ni yandi ke kuzwa difwa ya bilanga yayi ya vinu. Beto kufwa yandi samu ti bilanga yayi vwanda ya beto.”»
BSB
BSB:
But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
8
MKW
Na yina, bawu bwilaka yandi. Bawu kufwaka yandi mpe losaka nzutu ya yandi ntama na bilanga ya vinu.
BSB
BSB:
So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
9
MKW
Yinki mfumu ya bilanga ke sala? Yandi ke kwiza, ke kufwa bawu, mpe ke pesa bilanga ya vinu na bisadi-bilanga ya nkaka.
BSB
BSB:
What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.
10
MKW
Beno me tangaka ntete ve mambu yina ke tubaka Dibuku ya Nzambi: «“Ditadi yina bitungi-bayinzo losaka me kuma ditadi ya kulutila mfunu yina ke na kusimba yinzo nyonso.
BSB
BSB:
Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
11
MKW
Ni Mfumu salaka ti yawu vwanda mutindu yina, mpe ya kele mambu ya ngitukulu samu na beto!”»
BSB
BSB:
This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
12
MKW
Bamfumu ya ba-Zwife sosaka mayela ya kukanga Yesu, samu ti bawu zabaka ti ni na bawu Yesu tubaka kingana yina. Kasi bawu vwandaka na boma ya nkonga yina vwandaka kuna. Na yina, bawu bikaka yandi mpe kwendaka.
BSB
BSB:
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.
13
MKW
Bamfumu ya ba-Zwife fidisaka mwa ba-Falisye mpe mwa bantu ya kimvuka ya Elode na sika ya Yesu samu na kubwisa Yesu na mutambu na kupesa yandi kyuvu.
BSB
BSB:
Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.
14
MKW
Bawu kwizaka zabisa Yesu: «Mulongisi, beto zaba ti nge ke tubaka butsyelika, mpe nge kele ve na boma ya muntu samu ti nge ke swasikisaka bantu ve. Nge ke longisaka na butsyelika nyonso mambu yina Nzambi ke zolaka ti beto sala. Na yina, beto kele na muswa ya kufuta mpaku na ntinu Sezale to ya kufuta yawu ve? Beto fwana kufuta yawu to ve?»
BSB
BSB:
“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?”
15
MKW
Kasi Yesu zabaka ti bawu vwandaka bantu ya bantima zole. Na yina, yandi zabisaka bawu: «Samu na yinki beno ke na kumeka munu? Beno natina munu Denalya mosi samu ti mu tala yawu.»
BSB
BSB:
But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said,
“Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”
16
MKW
Bawu natinaka yandi yawu, mpe yandi yufulaka bawu: «Kizizi mpe nkumbu yina kele ya kusonama awa kele ya nani?» Bawu vutulaka: «Yawu kele ya ntinu Sezale.»
BSB
BSB:
So they brought it, and He asked them,
“Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
“Caesar’s,” they answered.
17
MKW
Na yina Yesu zabisaka bawu: «Beno pesa na ntinu Sezale bima yina kele ya Sezale, mpe na Nzambi bima yina kele ya Nzambi.» Bawu yituka mingi na mvutu yina Yesu vutulaka bawu.
BSB
BSB:
Then Jesus told them,
“Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
And they marveled at Him.
18
MKW
Ba-Saduse kwizaka na sika ya Yesu. (Ba-Saduse kele bantu yina ke tubaka ti bantu ya kufwa ke vumbuka ve.) Bawu yufulaka Yesu mutindu yayi:
BSB
BSB:
Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:
19
MKW
«Mulongisi! Moyize pesaka beto Musiku yayi: “Kana bakala ya kukwela kufwa ata kubuta bana na kento ya yandi, leki to yaya ya yandi fwana kukwela mufwidi yina samu na kubutila yandi bana.”
BSB
BSB:
“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.
20
MKW
Kasi ya vwandaka na bampangi nsambwadi. Mpangi ya ntete kwelaka kento, mpe kufwaka ata kubuta bana na kento yina.
BSB
BSB:
Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.
21
MKW
Mpangi ya zole kwelaka mufwidi, mpe kufwaka ata kubuta mwana na yandi, mutindu mosi mpe mpangi ya tatu.
BSB
BSB:
Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.
22
MKW
Bampangi nyonso nsambwadi yina kwelaka kento yango, mpe kufwaka ata kubuta mwana na yandi. Na manima ya bawu nyonso, kento mpe kufwaka.
BSB
BSB:
In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.
23
MKW
Na yina, ntangu bantu ya kufwa ke vumbuka na lufwa, yandi ke vwanda kento ya nani na bawu nyonso nsambwadi, samu ti bawu nyonso kwelaka yandi?»
BSB
BSB:
In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”
24
MKW
Yesu vutulaka: «Beno ke na kuvunama samu ti beno zaba ve Dibuku ya Nzambi to lulendo ya Nzambi.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus said to them,
“Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
25
MKW
Ya tsyelika, ntangu bantu ya kufwa ke vumbuka, bakento na babakala ke kwelana ve. Kasi bawu ke vwanda mutindu bambazi na mazulu.
BSB
BSB:
When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.
26
MKW
Na yina me tadila dyambu ya mvumbukulu ya bantu ya kufwa, beno me tangaka ntete ve na dibuku ya Moyize, kibuku ya mambu ya Nzambi yina ke zonzilaka divunda ya tiya? Beto ke tangaka ti Nzambi tubaka na Moyize: “Mu kele Nzambi ya Abalayami, ya Isaaki, mpe ya Yakobi.” »
BSB
BSB:
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’?
27
MKW
Yesu tubaka dyaka: «Nzambi kele ve Nzambi ya bantu ya kufwa, kasi ya bantu ya moyo. Na yina, beno ke na kuvunama mingi.»
BSB
BSB:
He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”
28
MKW
Mulongisi mosi ya Misiku kuwaka bawu ntangu bawu vwandaka solola. Yandi talaka ti Yesu zonzaka mbote. Na yina, yandi kwendaka pene-pene ya Yesu, mpe yufulaka Yesu: «Wapi Musiku me lutila mfunu na misiku nyonso?»
BSB
BSB:
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?”
29
MKW
Yesu vutulaka: «Musiku yina me lutila mfunu ke tubaka mutindu yayi: «“Kuwa Isayeli! Mfumu Nzambi ya beto kele kaka yandi mosi Mfumu.
BSB
BSB:
Jesus replied,
“This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.
30
MKW
Nge fwana kuzola Mfumu Nzambi ya nge na ntima ya nge nyonso, na mwela ya nge nyonso, na mayela ya nge nyonso, mpe na ngolo nyonso ya nge.”»
BSB
BSB:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
31
MKW
Musiku ya zole ke tubaka mutindu yayi: «“Nge fwana kuzola mpangi ya nge mutindu nge mosi.” Ya kele dyaka ve na Musiku ya nkaka yina me lutila misiku zole yayi mfunu.»
BSB
BSB:
The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”
32
MKW
Na yina, mulongisi ya Misiku tubaka: «Ya tsyelika, Mulongisi! Mambu yina nge me zonza kele ya tsyelika: Kaka ni yandi mosi kele Nzambi, mpe Nzambi ya nkaka kele ve.
BSB
BSB:
“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,
33
MKW
Konso muntu fwana kuzola yandi na ntima nyonso, na mayela nyonso, mpe na ngolo nyonso ya yandi. Yandi fwana kuzola mpe mpangi ya yandi mutindu yandi mosi. Misiku yayi me lutila mbote na makabu nyonso mpe minkayulu yina ba ke yokaka samu na Nzambi.»
BSB
BSB:
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.”
34
MKW
Yesu talaka ti mulongisi yayi ya Misiku zonzaka na ndwenga nyonso. Na yina, Yesu tubaka: «Nge kele ve ntama na kukota na Kimfumu ya Nzambi.» Na manima, ata muntu kuzwaka dyaka ngolo ya kuyufula yandi kyuvu.
BSB
BSB:
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.
35
MKW
Yesu vwandaka longisa na kati ya Yinzo ya Nzambi, mpe yufulaka: «Wapi mutindu milongisi ya Misiku lenda kutuba ti Masiya kele Mwana ya Davidi?
BSB
BSB:
While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked,
“How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
36
MKW
Ya tsyelika, yandi mosi Davidi yina vwandaka ya kufuluka na Mpeve ya Longo tubaka: «“Mfumu Nzambi me tuba na Mfumu ya munu: Vwanda na lubakala ya munu tii ntangu mu ke tula bambeni ya nge na yisi ya makulu ya nge.”»
BSB
BSB:
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
MKW
«Kana yandi mosi Davidi ke na kubokila yandi “Mfumu”, wapi mutindu Masiya lenda kuvwanda dyaka mwana ya Davidi?» Nkonga ya nene vwandaka kuwa Yesu na kilengi nyonso.
BSB
BSB:
David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?”
And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.
38
MKW
Na ndongosolo ya yandi, yandi vwandaka tuba: «Beno sala keba na milongisi ya Misiku. Bawu ke zolaka na kutambula na binkuti ya yinda, mpe ti bantu pesa bawu bambote ya buzitu na bisika ya mfunu ya mbanza.
BSB
BSB:
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,
39
MKW
Bawu ke zolaka na kuvwanda na bakiti ya ntete na bayinzo ya lusambulu ya ba-Zwife, mpe na bakiti ya buzitu na mikembo ya nene.
BSB
BSB:
and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
40
MKW
Bawu ke bakaka bimvwama nyonso ya mifwidi ya bakento, mpe ke salaka lusambulu ya yinda samu ti bantu tala bawu. Nzambi ke pesa bawu kitumbu ya ngolo!»
BSB
BSB:
They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”
41
MKW
Na manima, Yesu kwendaka vwanda pene-pene ya sanduku ya minkayulu ya Yinzo ya Nzambi, mpe talaka wapi mutindu bantu vwandaka tula mbongo na kati. Bamvwama mingi vwandaka tula mbongo mingi.
BSB
BSB:
As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.
42
MKW
Mufwidi ya mputu ya kento kwizaka mpe tulaka bapata zole ya mfunu mingi ve.
BSB
BSB:
Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.
43
MKW
Na yina, Yesu bokilaka bilandi ya yandi, mpe zabisaka bawu: «Ya tsyelika, mu ke na kutubila beno, mufwidi ya mputu yayi me lutila kupesa munkayulu kulutila bantu nyonso yina me tula minkayulu na kati ya sanduku yayi.
BSB
BSB:
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.
44
MKW
Ya tsyelika, bantu nyonso yayi me tula mbongo yina vwandaka na bawu nsatu ve. Kasi yandi na buwelo ya yandi, yandi me tula nyonso yina vwandaka na yandi nsatu samu na kuzinga.»
BSB
BSB:
For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
