Mark 12 (MPA) · Opened

1Yesu akatumbwi kulonge nabhu kwa malenganesu akapwaghaje, “Mundu jumu akalemiki ngonda wa mizabibu, akauyongalwi lumatu, na pachilanda jaki akalenganaki libhomba la kuminyi divai, na kuchenga mnala. Akabhajahiki bhalemi ngonda ghola, na akatumbwi mwanja wa kujenda ku inchi ja kutali.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.

2Chikahi cha kuhuna mapambiku pachahikiki, akuntumiki ntumika waki kwa bhalemi bhala nahuli akundetila pandu pa mapambiku gha ngonda waki wa mizabibu.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Bhalemi bhala bhakunkamwi ntumika jola, bhakundapwili, na kunkelebhu mabhoku matopu.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Akuntumiki kabheti ntumika jongi. Jonihoju kabheti bhakundapwi kumutu na kumpoa lihamo.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Mweni ngonda jola akuntumiki kabheti ntumika jongi. Na bhombi bhalemi bhala bhakunkomiki. Bhakalapuliki kabheti bhangi bhamahele bhabhakatumakiki na bhangi kubhakoma.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6Bhela akahighali na mundu jumu, yani mwana waki mpalu. Pakujomukela akuntumiki jonihoju akapwaghaje, ‘Anabhuntopilaje mwana wango.’Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7Nambu bhalemi bhala bhakapwaghanile, ‘Jonjo nde mpwelelu, bhela tunkomaje, nahuli upwelelu waki ubya wito!’But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Bhela bhakunkamwili na kunkoma, na kujenda kujileke hyegha jaki kunja ja ngonda wa mizabibu ghola.”So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9Yesu akabhalalukile, “Bho, mweni ngonda wa mizabibu anahenga kike?” “Anahikaje kubhakoma bhalemi habha, na kubhajahika ngonda hoghu bhandu bhangi.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Bho, ngachensomiki Malembu aghagha? ‘Liganga lebhalikaniki bhachenga, sajenu libhi liganga likolongwa la punkeghi.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11Bambo nde joatehi lijambu lenihele, nalombi nde la kukangacha kwitu!’ ”This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Bhapenganyambiku bhakolongwa, bhabhola bha Shelia na akahokolu bhakamanyiki kubha ulenganesu hoghu ubhapwagha bhombe. Bhela bhakalengiki kunkamu Yesu, nambu bhakajowipi lipogha la bhandu. Panihapa bhakundehili na bhakabhokike.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.

13Bhela Mafalisayo bhangi na bhahemba bha lipogha laka Helode, bhakatumakiki kwaka Yesu nahuli bhajenda bhakundalukyaje kwa kundenga.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Bhakunjendili na kumpwaghila, “Mbola, tumanyi kubha wehapa ulonge chakaka, panga kujoghopa maholalelu gha bhandu. Wala ngacheulingali sula jaka mundu, nambu ubhola chakaka kubhokana na indela jaka Chapanga. Tupwaghilaje, bho, wichu le kwitu tepani kulepa kodi kwaka Kaisali?“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?”

15Bho, tulepaji au ngatwilepa?” Nambu Yesu akamanyiki icholi yabhu, akabahpwaghile, “Bho, mbona ntenda kunenga? Nnetila mbija heje.”But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Bhakundeti mbija, najombi akabhalalukile, “Bho, sula na lihina lendenu yaka nane?” Bhakamuyangiki, “Yaka Kaisali.”So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Yesu akabhapwaghile, “Mumpekya Kaisali yeibhi yaki Kaisali, na yeibhi yaka Chapanga mumpekya Chapanga.” Panihapa bhakunkangichi namaa Yesu.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Bhela, Masadukayo bhabhapwagha kubha ngachekubhi kuhyoka bhakunjendi Yesu, na kundalukila,Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19“Mbola, Musa akatulaghalakili, ‘Ngati mwanalomi anapotili na kundeka nhwanu waki panga mwana, ndongu waki apalika antola mbomba joaweliwi na ndomi jola nahuli ambelakya bhana ndongu waki joapoti jola.’“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.

20Kwa ulenganesu, kukabhi na bhalongu saba, wa kutumbula akatowili na kupotela panga kupata bhana.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21Ndongu wa kabheli akuntowili joaweliwi na ndomi jola, najombi akapotili panga kupata bhana, na ndongu wa katatu najombi bhelabhela,Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22na bhalongu bhokapi saba bhabhuntowili mbomba jola bhakapotili panga kubhaleka bhana. Machobha paghapetiki, najombi mbomba jola akapotile.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Bhela, lichobha la kuhyoka bhandu, bho, mabhu hoju ayibya nhwanu waka nane? Maghambu akanalomi bhokapi saba bhakuntowile.”In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Yesu akabhayangike, “Bho, mwanganya ngachemuhokiye, maghambu ngachemughamanyi Malembu Mahuhu na uweza waka Chapanga?Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Kwa ndandi bhabhawili pabhiyokaje ngabhitoghuleki, bhibya ngati bhatumika bha kunani kwaka Chapanga.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Bhela, kuhyoka kwa bhabhawili, bho, ngachensomiki mu Chitabu chaka Musa pandu papalongale chitutu chechibhelala moto? Chapanga akumpwaghi Musa, ‘Nepani Chapanga waka Ibulahimu, Chapanga waka Isaka na Chapanga waka 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’?

27Bhela jombi nde Chapanga wa bhandu bhabhabhi bhomi, nambu nga wa bhandu bhabhawile. Mwanganya muhobhiki namaa!”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Mbola jumu wa Shelia akahikiki na kujowane kulochana kwabho. Paakaweni kubha Yesu akabhayangiki Masadukayo wichu, akunjendi Yesu na kundalukila, “Bho, mu amuli yokapi, nde jaleko jejibhi ngolongwa kupeta yokape?”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 akamuyangike, “Amuli nkolongwa nde jenjenu, ‘Njowanyaje, mabhandu bha Izilaeli! Bambo Chapanga witu nde Bambo jumu.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Umpalaje Bambo Chapanga waku kwa mtima waku wokapi, kwa roho jaku jokapi, kwa malangu ghaku ghokapi na kwa makili ghaku ghokapi.’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Amuli ngolongwa ja kabheli nde jenjenu, ‘Umpalaje njaku ngati moulipali wamwete.’ Nga amuli jengi ngolongwa ja kuipeta ibheli heye.”The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Mbola wa Shelia jola akumpwaghi Yesu, “Mbola ulongi wichu! Ulongi chakaka kubha, Chapanga nde jumu pela, wala njeta jongi nambu jombi.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Impalika mundu kumpala Chapanga kwa mtima wokapi, kwa malangu ghokapi, kwa makili ghokapi na kumpala njaki ngati moalipali mwene, kupalika nakanopi kuliku kubhoha hinyama ya kujochakeka na nyambiku yokapi.”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 paakaweni kubha mundu hoju akayangiki kwa malangu, akumpwaghile, “Wehapa ngacheubhi kutali na Ukolongwa waka Chapanga.” Kutumbu panihapa nga mundu joakajendali kabheti kundaluki Yesu lilalukilo.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.

35Chikahi Yesu paakabhi abhola mu Nyumba jaka Chapanga, akalalukile, “Bho, mbona bhabhola bha Shelia bhapwagha kubha Kristo nde mwana Daude?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Roho Mhuhu akundongwi Daude kupwagha, ‘Bambo akumpwaghi Bambo wango, Utamaje upambala wangu wa kumalelelu, mbaka panabhabhekaje maadui bhaku pahi ja magholu ghaku.’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.”’

37Daude mweni andoha Kristo ‘Bambo,’ henu Kristo ayibya bho mwana waka Daude?” Lipogha la bhandu lakabhi lunjowane Yesu kwa chiheku.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Mu mabholu ghaki, Yesu akapwaghike, “Mulilingalyaje na bhabhola bha Shelia, bhabhapala kupetapeta bhawati ingobhu ilachu na bhandu kubhalamuki kwa kutopela paligulio.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,

39Kabheti bhahaghu itehu ya kulongolu munyumba ja kuhimangani Bhayahude na pandu pa kutopela pa uwangalalu wa chilebhe.and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Kwa kubhakolowa bhabhatole bhabhaweliwi na bhalomi bhabhu nyumba yabhu na hindu yabhu koni bhakoponganela kulobha malobhu malachu! Bhanihabha utemuliku wabhu anaukubhaje ukolongwa namaa!”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Yesu akabhi atami pambipi na lisanduku la chikoku cha mbija, akabhalingali bhandu bhamaheli mobhajeghale mbija yabho. Bhanahindu bhamaheli bhabhohiki mbija yamahele,As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42panihapa akahikiki mabhu jumu kahochu, akajeghi sendi ibheli ya mbija.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Yesu akabhalohiki bhabhulwa bhaki papamu na kubhapwaghila, “Chakaka numpwaghila, mabhu ajoju kahochu ajeghi mu lisanduku la chikoku mbija yamaheli kupeta chebhajeghi bhandu bhangi bhokape.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.

44Ndandi bhangi bhokape bhakabhohiki kubhokana na kujoloka kwa hindu yabhu, nambu mabhu ajoju, koni abhi kahochu, abhohiki yokapi yeakabhi naku, abhohiki hindu yokapi yeyunjangatyaje kwa matamu ghaki.”For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
