Mark 12 (SHR) · Opened

1Obwo arhondêra okubabwîra omu migani: «Muntu muguma anacihinga olukoma lw’emizâbîbu, aluyûbakira olugurhu, ahebamwo omukenzi, agwîkamwo omutungo; okubundi alusigira abahinzi, acîbalamira.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“Erhi amango gahika, arhuma omwambali mpu abahinzi bamuhè eyâge mizâbîbu”.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3“Bôhe banacimugwârha, bamushûrha, bamulîka maboko mûmu”.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4“Ashub’îbarhumira owundi mwambali; oyo bamubera oluguma banamujacira kubî”.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5“Ashub’irhuma owundi; yêhe bamuniga. N’abandi mwandu; baguma bashûrhwa, abandi banigwa”.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6“Obwo erhi acigwêrhe mugala wâge muguma murhonyi bwenêne. Buzinda naye abarhumiraye, aderha, erhi”: “Bakenga mugala wâni yêhe!”Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7“Ci abahinzi babwîrana, mpu”: “Oyu, yo nfula yâyîme: yishî rhuyinige, rhuyish’ibà rhwe rhucîyîmira muli byo!”But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8“Banacimurhuluba, bamuyîrha, bamukwêba emûhûlo gw’olukoma”.So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9“Kurhi nn’olukoma ayish’ijira obwo?” “Ayisha, ahôrha balya bahinzi, n’olukoma aluhè abandi”.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10“Ka murhasâg’isoma ntya omu Mandiko”: “Ibuye abûbasi bagayaguzagya, lyayish’ibà kaboko ka nyumpa”;Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11“Nyakasane yêne wakolaga ebyo, byanabà bisômerîne omu masù gîrhu”».This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Balonza oku bamugwârha, ci bayôboha olubaga; bulya bâli bayumvîrhe oku ogwo mugani bo guyêrekîre. Banacimuleka, bagenda.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.

13Banacimurhumira baguma omu Bafarizeyi n’omu Baherodi mpu bamurhege omu nderho.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Banaciyisha, bamubwîra, mpu: «Waliha Muyigîriza, rhuyishi oku oderha okuli n’oku orhajira kabôlo kuli ndi, bulya orhalola ola ye ndi omu bantu, ci enjira ya Nyamuzinda onayiyigîrize nk’oku enali. Ka kukwânîne rhukavurhira Sezari erhi nanga?»“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?”

15Naye bulya àli amanyire obulyâlya bwâbo, ababwîra, erhi: «Cirhumire mwantega? Nderheri olusaranga ndole».But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Balulêrha. Anacibadôsa, erhi: «Ya ndi eyi nshusho n’aga mandiko?» Bashuza, mpu: «Bya Sezari».So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17Yezu anacibabwîra, erhi: «Ahoo! ebya Sezari bigaluliragi Sezari, n’ebya Nyamuzinda mubihè Nyamuzinda». Banacisômerwa bwenêne.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Abasaduceyi, balya bakaderha mpu ntà bufûke bw’abafîre, banacimujaho, bamudôsa, mpu:Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19«Muyigîriza, Mûsa arhurhegesire mpu irhondo mwene wâbo omuntu akafà nka alesire omukazi orhagwêrhi bâna, mwene wâbo anayinjire mukâge, ahè mwene wâbo iburha.“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.

20Hàli ba-nda-nguma nda. Omurhanzi ayanka omukazi, afà arhanasiziri mwâna.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21Owa kabiri ayinjira mukâge; naye afà buzira mwâna. Owa kasharhu naye kwo n’okwo.Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22Ntâye muli bo oku bali nda wasizire mwâna. Enyuma ya boshi, lêro nyamukazi naye anacifà.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Ewe, aha kufûka kw’abafù, ayish’ibà mukà ndi muli bo? Bulya oku bali nda bâli bamuyansire».In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24Yezu erhi abashuza, ababwîra, erhi: «Ka murhahabusiri obwo, erhi kurhamanya Amandiko n’obuhashe bwa Nyamuzinda kurhuma?Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25“Bulya aha kufûka kw’abafù, ntâye wâshebe na ntâye washebwe, ci bacîbêra nka bamalahika omu mpingu”.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26“N’oku bufûke bw’abafù, ka murhasâg’isoma omu citabu ca Mûsa, halya baganîre olw’Ishaka lyagulumira, aka kanwa Nyamuzinda amubwîraga, erhi aderha, erhi: Nie Nyamuzinda wa Abrahamu, Nyamuzinda wa Izaki, Nyamuzinda wa Yakôbo?”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“Arhali Nyamuzinda wa mifù, ci wa bagumagumà. Mâshi mudwîrhe mwacîrheba bwenêne!”»He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Muguma omu bashamuka b’ihano àli ayumvîrhe oku badalika. Erhi abona oku abashuzize bwinjà, anacimudôsa, erhi: «Irhegeko lihi liri lirhanzi omu marhegeko goshi?»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?”

29Yezu amushuza, erhi: «Irhegeko lirhanzi lyo eli: “Yumva, Israheli. Nyakasane Nyamuzinda wîrhu yênene Nyamuzinda”;Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30“wakâzigira Nyakasane Nyamuzinda wâwe n’omurhima gwâwe goshi, n’omûka gwâwe gwoshi, n’obukengêre bwâwe boshi, n’emisî yâwe yoshi”.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“Elya kabiri lyo eli”: “Wakâzigira owinyu nk’oku ocîzigira wênene”. “Ntalindi irhegeko lilushire ago”».The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Olya mushamuka w’ihano amubwîra, erhi: «Nêci, Mwigîriza, odesire oku binali: “oku Nyamuzinda ali muguma yênene n’oku ntà wundi aha nyuma lyâge”.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33“Okumuzigira n’omurhima goshi, n’obukengêre boshi, n’emisî yoshi, n’okuzigira owinyu nk’oku ocîzigira wênene, kulushire enterekêro zoshi n’entûlo zoshi”».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.”

34Yezu erhi abona oku ashambîre kwinjà amubwîra, erhi: «Obwâmi bwa Nyamuzinda burhakuli kulî». Na ntâye wacikâg’ihalîza mpu amudôsa.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.

35Erhi abà adwîrhe ayigîriza omu ka-Nyamuzinda, Yezu anaciderha, erhi: «Kurhi abashamuka b’ihano baderha mpu Kristu ali mwene Daudi?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36N’obwo Daudi yênene adesire oku buhashe bwa Mûka Mutagatîfu, erhi: Nyakasane abwîzire Nnâhamwîrhu: Bwârhala ebwa kulyo kwâni, kuhika abanzi bâwe mbayandaze burhaba aha magulu gâwe.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.”’

37Daudi yêne akudesire mpu ye Nnawâbo; kurhi aligi mugala?» Olubaga lwakamuyumvîrhiza lunasîmire.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Ababwîra omu nyigîrizo zâge, erhi: «Mucîlange oku bashamuka b’ihano, abasîma okulambagira bayambîrhe ebishûli birîrî n’okulamusibwa oku irango,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“n’oku bwârhala oku ntebe ntanzi omu masinagogi, n’ebibwârhalo birhanzi oku cîbo c’idinye”;and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40“abakâja balya ebya abakana banaderha amasala malîmalî. Abo bayish’ibona olubanja ludârhi kurhaluka”».They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Yezu anacibwârhala aha bwa mucîmba gw’ecibîkiro, akalola oku abantu bahira ensaranga omu mucîmba gw’ecibîkiro. Bahirhi banji bahiramwo nyinji.As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Lêro hâyisha mukana muguma wa buligo, ahiramwo bujuma bubiri, bwo nk’ikuta.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Anacikema abaganda bâge, ababwîra, erhi: «Mmubwîre, okuli, oyu mukana mukenyi ahânyire kulusha boshi bahiraga omu cibîkiro.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.

44Bulya, boshi bahiziremwo oku bisigala oku bunguke bw’ebirugu byâbo; ci yêhe omu bukenyi bwâge ahiziremwo ehi anali agwêrhe hyoshi, ehyankamubîsire hyoshi».For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
