Mark 12 (SBY) · Opened

1Kayi Yesu walatatika kwamba kulyendibo mu mikoshanyo, walambeti, “Palikuba muntu naumbi walalima libala lya minyansa. walebaka luba kushunguluka libala, walemba cisengu cakutyaninamo minyansa ne kwibaka lupingwe. Libala ili walalibwelekesha ku balimi, nendi walaya kucishi cimbi.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.

2Mpocalashika cindi ca kutebula, mwine libala walatuma musebenshi wakendi ku balimi mbwalabwelekesha, kwambeti bamupeko bisepo bya mulibala lisa.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Nomba nabo balamwikata, ne kumuma ne kumutandanya, walabwelelako wabula ciliconse mu makasa.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Mwine libala walatumako kayi musebenshi wakendi naumbi. Nomba uyu balamutoba luma mu mutwi ne kumucobola cipesha nsoni.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Kayi mwine libala walatumako naumbi, uyu balamushina. Kayi walatumako nabambi nabo balabauma, kayi nabambi balashina.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6Kwalashala muntu umo, mwanendi ngwalikusuna cikamba. Pakupwililisha mwine libala usa walatumako mwanendi,” Ne kwambeti, “Mwaname nibenga bamupe bulemu.”Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7Nomba nabo balimi balatatika kumufwiya ne kwambeti, “Uyu endiye eshakapyane buboni bwa baishi, neco katumushinani kwambeti bukabe bwetu,But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Balamutanya, ne kumushina, ne kumuwala kunsa kwa luba lwa libala.”So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9“Inga mwine libala nakenseconi? Lakenga kubashina balimi bonse ne kubwelekesha libala lyakendi kubalimi nabambi.”What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Sena nkamuna mubelengapo Mabala alambangeti, “Libwe lya candanshi ndyebalakana Beshikwibaka, Lyalaba libwe lyayandika Kupita onse.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11Mwami mwine elacinshi, Kayi cakondelesha pakucibona?”This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Balelekesha kucana nshila ya kumwikatilamo, nomba balatina kufula kwa bantu, pakwinga balenshibeti wambangendibo mumukoshanyo, nomba balamushiya Yesu ne kuya.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.

13Bafalisi nabambi ne ba mucipani ca Helodi balatumwa kuli Yesu kwambeti bamutape mukwamba kwakendi.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Mpobalashika kuli Yesu balambeti, “Bashikwiyisha tucinshi, kwambeti mukute kwamba cakubinga, kayi nkamukute kubona cilikunsa kwa muntu, nkamukute kusakamaneti uyu niyani, nsombi mukute kwiyisha nshila ya Lesa mwancine ncine, Sena kusonka musonko ku mwami wa ku Loma casuminishiwa nambi sobwe?”“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“Tusonkenga misonko nambi sobwe?” Yesu pakubenshiba bundenga mano bwabo, walabambileti, “Ingamulanjelekeshelenga cani? Kamundetelani lyali ndilibone.”But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Balamutambika lyali, Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga cintimbwi cilipa lyali, ne walembapo niyani?” Balamukumbuleti “Ni ca Mwami waku Loma.”So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Neco Yesu walabambileti, “Mupeni Mwami waku Loma bintu byakendi, nendi Lesa mupeni bintu byakendi.” Nomba balakankamana ne kwamba kulico.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Basaduki nabambi batashomo sha kupunduka kubafu balesa kuli Yesu ne kwambeti,Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19“Bashikwiyisha, Mose walatulembela afwe kwambeti na muntu ufwa ushiya mukashi enka wabula mwana, kanike wakendi shikufwa amwebe mukalubingi ne kusemenamo bana mu mulamu wakendi mucimo ca mukwabo“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.

20Lino palikuba batuloba basanu ne babili pabukwabo. Mukulene bantu waleba mukashi, nsombi walafwa kwa kubula kushiyapo bana,Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21mukwabo wamukonkapo walamweba mukalubingi, neye walafwa katana asemenamo mwana. Calenshika copeleco ku mukwabo wa butatu.Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22Walebwa kuli umo ne umo wa bonse basanu ne babili, nsombi bonse balafwa kwakubula kusemenamo bana, panyuma pakendi neye mukashi uyu walafwa.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Lino bantu bakapundukanga kubafu nakabe mukashi wa bani? Pakwinga bonse basanu ne babili balamwebapo?”In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Yesu walabakumbuleti, Sena ici nteco cilapeshengeti mulubile cakwinseti mubule kwinshiba Mabala ne ngofu sha Lesa?Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Pakwinga bantu beti bakapunduke kubafu nteti bakebenga nambi kwebwa, pakwinga nibakabengeti bangelo ba kwilu.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Na nimakani akwambeti sena bafwa nibakapunduke, sena muliya kubelengapo muli buku lya Mose mpalikwamba sha cifukusa calikubangila mulilo? Lesa mpwalambila Mose eti, “Ame njame Lesa wa Abulahamu, Lesa wa Isake, kayi Lesa 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’?

27Nte Lesa wa bantu bafwa, nsombi wa bayumi, mwalubila kwine!”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Umo wa beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose walabanyumfwa kabakangana umo ne munendi. Kayi pakuboneti Yesu labakumbulu cakubinga ba Saduki, walamwipusha Yesu eti, “Inga nimulawo upeyo utanshi kupita yonse?”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 walamukumbuleti, Mulawo utanshi ni wakwambeti, “Kamunyumfwani amwe Baislayeli, Mwami Lesa wetu, eMwami umo enka bulyo walibela.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Neco suna Mwami Lesa wakobe ne moyo wakobe wonse, ne mushimu wakobe onse, ne manjeyaulwa akobe onse, kayi ne ngofu shakobe shonse.”Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Mulawo watubili ni wakwambeti, “Suna munobe mbuli ncolisuni omwine, Paliya mulawo wapita pa milawo ibili iyi sobwe.”The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Shikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose walamwambila Yesu,eti “Ncomulamba Bashikwiyisha nicakubinga, Ee pali Lesa umo enka, paliya naumbi sobwe nsombi enka bulyo.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Nomba kusuna Lesa ne moyo wakobe wonse ne buyumi bwakobe bonse ne manjeyaulwa akobe onse, kayi ne ngofu shakobe shonse, ne kusuna bantu banobe mbuli ncolisuni, kulayandikinga kupita kutwala milumbo ya banyama ne milumbo naimbi kuli Lesa.”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 pakwinshibeti lakumbulu camano, walamwambileti, “Obe nkolipo kutali ne Bwami bwa Lesa sobwe.” Neco bonse balaba ne buyowa, neco bonse balatina bamwipusha Yesu mwipusho naumbi.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 mpwalikwiyisha Mung'anda ya Lesa, walepusheti, Inga beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose ngabambeconi eti Klistu nimwanendi Dafeti?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36Kakuli Dafeti mwine pakutanguninwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, walambeti, Mwami Lesa walamba kuli mwami wakame, eti kwesa wikale ku cikasa calulyo cabulemu, mpaka nkababike balwani bakobe panshi pa myendo yakobe.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.”’

37Dafeti mwine walamwambeti, “Mwami” Ngobaconi mwanendi Dafeti? Likoto lyabantu balikumunyumfwa Yesu mwakukondwa.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Yesu mpwalikwiyisha, walambeti, “Cetukani ne beshikwiyisha milawo ya Mose, basuna kwendana kabali muminganjo yalelemba nekuyanda kupewa mitende yabulemu mu misena ya makwebo,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,

39bakute kuyanda kwikala pa bipuna byakuntangu mung'anda ya kupaililamo, ne mumisena ya bulemu musena yamalyalya.and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Aba bantu ebakute kupwisha buboni bwa bamukalubingi, nekulibonesheti bantu balulama mumipailo yabo itali itali, aba bantu nibakatambule lombolosho lunene!”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Kayi Yesu mpwalekala pepi ne kabokoshi bantu nkobalikubikamo mali mung'anda kupaililamo, walikalangishisha bantu ncobalikubikamo mali. Abo balikuba ne buboni balikubikamo mali angi,As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Palashika mukalubingi mupenshi, nendi walabikamo tumali tubili twa mukuba.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Neco walakuwa beshikwiya bakendi nekubambileti, cakubinga ndamwambilinga, mukalubingi mupenshi uyu labikimo mali angi kupita ngobalabikimo bonse.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.

44Pakwinga bonse batapulanga pa mali apitilila pa mali ngobakute kusebensesha, nsombi nendi mubupenshi bwakendi labikimo mali ngwakutenga onka mung'anda, ebwanga buyumi bwakendi.For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
