Mark 12 (ZGAM) · Opened

1Pu u Yesu akhatengula ukhuva manyisya khufihwani. Akhata, “Umunu avyalile ugunda gwa misabibu, nu khunchungusya uluvigo, nu khuyava eilifuli lya khivekhila ei togwa (umfinyo) akhanchenga unala akhali hemin'chanche nu gunda gwa misabibu khuva limi va misabibu. Pu akhasafili eisafyali ya pauutali.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.

2Usikhie vugufikhe akhasuha umbombi vavalimi va misabibu ukyopila ukhuhuma khumwene isekhe n'cha gunda gwa misabibu.At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit of the vineyard.

3Vakhibata, vakhatola, va khambun'cha bila kheinu.But they seized the servant, beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.

4Akhasuha umbombi uyunge vupe vakha vomba vule vule vakhabuda, vakhavavombela vingi imbombo ndin'cho vakha va buda.Then he sent them another servant, and they struck him over the head and treated him shamefully.

5Badu akhasuha uyunge yope vakha buda vakhataga.He sent still another, and this one they killed. He sent many others; some they beat and others they killed.

6Ale nu munu uyunge uvakhusuha, umwana va mwene. Ugane uyu ale va muisyo ukhusuha khuvene. Akhata, “Vinchii khuudwada umwana vango.”Finally, having one beloved son, he sent him to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.

7Pu avapangaji vakha nchova na vavo khwa vavo, “Vakhata tumuibate. Tubude, uvuhale wiwa weito.”But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’

8Vakha muuibata, vakhabuda vakhataga khunji khukhialo kya misabibu.So they seized the son, killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.

9Pu apo, womba! Kheikhii unyakyalo kya misabibu? Ikhuiincha nukhuvabuda voni avalemi va misabibu nukhuvapa avange avalimi va gunda gwa misabibu.What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard to others.

10Samuumbile uvuvigi wa imenyu lilei? Eiluwe lilyo vabelile avanchengi livile liwe livaha lya khulukanji.Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

11Eeli lya humile khwa akada na lya khusuiga pamiho ga vanu.”This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

12Valikhulonda ukhumuubata u Yesu, pa khuva valikhudwada ululundamano, lwee vanu valumanyile ukhuta anchovile ei vene. Pvakhandekha vakhanda ukhuluta.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.

13Puvakhavasuha vaninie avafalisayo namaherodia vategele khumamenyu.Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Jesus in His words.

14Vuvafikhe, vakhambula, “Imanyisi, tulumanyile ukhuta savujali eikheinu kyoni. Oasavuvonesya uvupendelelo khu vanu ila vumanyeisya einjila ya Nguluve khuvu yii luleli. Niwa yiluleli ukhuhomba eisongo khwa Kaisalia yee? Tuwesya ukhuhomba ewo ate?“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?”

15U Yesu avumanyile uvudesi wa vene, '“Nukhovavula kheikhii mukhungela? Mume ei ulutalama neilole.”But Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to inspect.”

16Vakhagega yimo khwa Yesu, akhavavula, “Eisula! Ei Yee yani nuvusimbe uvuwani va khata, “Fya Kesali.”So they brought it, and He asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?” “Caesar’s,” they answered.

17UYesu akhata, “Mumpe u Kesali ikya Kesalia na mumpe Unguluve.” Vakhawiga.Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

18Pu amasadukayo, avavita vasikhuli uvunchukha vakha nchutila nu khumbuncha vakhata,Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him:

19“Imanyisi, u Mose atusimbile ukhuta ulukololwe va munu angave ifya ikhundekha udala kheisita vana udala uyu iwesya ukhuhalwa nuyonge nukhu ngolela avana khunjila ya lukololwe.'“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.

20Khuuale nava lukolo saba, uvakhwanja (uvalutanchi) akhafya kha mwana.Now there were seven brothers. The first one married and died, leaving no children.

21Nayuvavile vupe akhafywa sakhandekha umwana na yuvadatu vule vule.Then the second one married the widow, but he also died and left no children. And the third did likewise.

22Nuva saba akhafya bila khundekha umwana. Khuvumalilo nayunchala akhafya.In this way, none of the seven left any children. And last of all, the woman died.

23Usikhegwa vanchukha udala uyu iva vani vuvanchukhilevoni? Khuvalukolo vala saba avavale vagosinva mwene.”In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be? For all seven were married to her.”

24U Yesu akhavavula, “Ei! ye njila ya khuvanchana pakhuva samulumanyile, eili vangeli lya Nguluve?”Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

25Usikhei gwa vunchkha wa wafulile, savale tola nu khuingila khavile mumbutegulane viva ndava sahwa khwa khukianya.When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

26Pu lino, ukhuhumana nuvunchukha, wa! Vanu avinchusiwa samuimbile mukhitabu kya Mose, ululagilo lwa khei nchakha, 'Unguluve vuanchovile une neneNguluve va Abrahamu, mu Isaka, nu 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’?

27Umwene sio Nguluve vave fuile Nguluve vumi. Luleli muyagilwe.”He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!”

28Yumo mugati muvandisyii akhincha mukhu pulehencha einchovele ya vene; akhavona u Yesu avajibile luleli. Akhambuncha lulagilo lulikhu ulunogiwa khulikho nchoni?”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?”

29U Yesu akhajibu, “Akhata uye yinogwa y eiyei, “Puleheencha uve Islaeli, Unguluve vito, ali yumo.Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

30Pu yinogwa ukhukonga Unguluve vakho nee numbula yakho yoni namasage gakho goni, nuluhala lwakho lwoni namakha gakho goni.'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

31Ululagilo ulwa khauile, 'Luuulu unganage ujirani nduvu vukhei gana uve.' Lusikhuli ululagilo ulunge uluvaha pa nchii.”The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.”

32Usimbi akhata, “Lunonu mumanyisi! Unchovile luleli ukhuta Unguluve ali yumo, nu khuta asikhuli uyunge khumwene.“Right, Teacher,” the scribe replied. “You have stated correctly that God is One and there is no other but Him,

33Ukhugana umwene ne numbula yoni, nuluhala luunono, namakha goni, nukhugana ujirani nchuu wiganile lunonu vincho khulikho isadakha ncha khunyanya.”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.”

34Vu u Yesu ahuminche alijibu lya luhala, akhavavula, “Uve sulie khutali nuludeva lwa Nguluve.” Ukhwanjila apo asipali uviambunchinche u Yesu ama swali.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.

35Nu Yesu avajibile, vuimani sya mutembile, akhata, “Ava! Simbi vila u Yesu mwana va Davudi?While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

36UDavudi yoywa khu mepo umbalanche, akhata, 'Udaada achovile khwadaada vango utame eikhivokho kyango eikyandwo, ei mpakhaneva vekhe avavini vakho pasi pamalunde gakho.'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.”’

37Udavudi yuywa ikhumwela nga Ukristi, 'Daada' Pu! Mwana va Davudi khunjila?” Yelekhu nululundamano uluvaha lukha pulehencha nuluhekhelo.David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight.

38Mulumanyisyo lwa Yesu akhata, “Muakyoli na vasimbi, avavinongwa ukhuluala emienda emitali nu khuponiwa mu sokhoni.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,

39Nu khutama mufigoda fya vavaha muma sinagogi mu sikukuu (muselehe) Khumamenyu ga vavaha.and to have the chief seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.

40Vilya munyumba ncha va fyela nu khwieisaya intesaya inali vavavone avanu. Avanu ava vipokhela uvuhegi uvuvaha.”They defraud widows of their houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will receive greater condemnation.”

41Pu u Yesu akhatama pasi pipi neli sadukha lya sadakhamugati mu tembile; alikhulola avanu vuvigenda nu khulaha ihela muli sandukha lya sadakha. Vingi avanu avatajili vakhalaha ihela nchuu nyingi.As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

42Pu udala yumo ufwele uganchu akhincha khuilaha ifipande vivile fya sendi.Then one poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounted to a small fraction of a denarius.

43Pu akha vilanga avakongi ya mwene nukhuvavula, “Luleli nukhuvavula, udala uyu ufwile alahile nchu nyingi khulikho voni auatalile ukhulaha mulisandukha lya hela.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.

44Pakhuva vingi vahuminche ukhu humana nu wingiwa vibanafya vene. Udala ufyile uyu, ukhuhuma khuganchu wa mulene ahuminche ihela nchooni inchinchi khale ncha khuntanga mbwumi wa mwene.”For they all contributed out of their surplus, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.”
