1Pa n'dzidzi unowu ung'ono, pikwi na pikwi pya anthu pyagumanyikana, mpaka kufikira pondana okha-okha. Na tenepo, Yezu, pa kutoma apanga anyakupfundza ace kuti: “Cenjerani na ntombwe wa kutupisa mikate wa afarisi. Penepi ndi kubveka kuti: Na uthambi wawo.
2Nkhabe cinthu cidabisala cinakhonda kudza kadziwika, peno cidagudumirwa mbacikhonda kudza kaoneka.
3Thangwi pyonsene pinalonga imwe n'cibiso-biso pinadza kabveka pakweca. Na pyonsene pinalonga imwe ciwere-were n'nyumba, pinadza kalongwa pa ntsoyi.”
4Yezu athimiza na kulonga kuti: “Axamwali anga, Ine ndisakupangani kuti: Lekani kugopa ale anapha manungo, angamala mbacimwana kucita pinango.
5Mbwenye ine ndisakupangani ndi ani anafuna imwe kugopa. Gopani Mulungu, anacita kuti angamala kupha manungo, ana mphambvu za kuaponya mu infernu. Ande, ndinathimiza na kukupangani kuti: Gopani Mulungu!”
6Kodi nkhabe guliswa mbalame zixanu na pikobiri piwiri? Mbwenye Mulungu nkhabe ibodzi inaduwala Iye.
7Na tsisi yanu ene ya munsolo, yonsene yamala kulengeswa. Lekani kugopa. Thangwi imwe muli kufunika pikulu kakamwe kupiringana mbalame zizinji.
8Yezu alonga pontho kuti: Ule anandicitira umboni pa maso pa anthu, Inembo Mwana wa Munthu, ndinancitirambo umboni pa maso pa, anju za Mulungu.
9Mbwenye ule anandikhonda pa maso pa anthu, iye anadza kakhondiwambo na Mwana wa Munthu pa maso pa anju za Mulungu.
10Onsene ale anandilonga kuipa ine Mwana wa Munthu, anadza kalekererwa. Mbwenye ale anaxola Nzimu wa Mulungu, nkhabe kudza kalekererwa.
11Mungakwatiwa kwenda n'nyumba za kuphembera peno pa maso pa anyakutonga na pa akulu-akulu a utongi, lekani kunentseka kuti munaatawira tani, peno munalonga tani.
12Thangwi pa n'dzidzi unowu, Nzimu wa Mulungu unakupfundzisani pinafuna imwe kulonga.
13Mamuna m'bodzi akhakhala pakati pa mbumba alonga kuna Yezu kuti: “Mpfundzisi, pangani m'bale wanga kuti ndigawane naye unthaka udatisiyira baba wathu.”
14Mbwenye Yezu antawira tenepa: “Mamunawe, mbani adandisankhula kuti ndikhale ntongi wa nseru wanu, peno nyakugawa unthaka wanu?”
15Na tenepo, Yezu aapanga onsene kuti: “Bveserani. Citani mphole na kuumirwa! Thangwi upulumuki wa munthu, huli na kuinjipa kwa pinthu pyace tayu.”
16Na tenepo, Yezu aapanga nsanje uyu: “Munda wa mamuna m'bodzi m'mpfumi wabuluka phoso izinji.
17Iye atoma kunyerezera mbalonga ekha ene kuti: ‘Ndinacita tani? Ine nkhabe mbuto yakukwanisa kukoya phoso yanga yonsene.’
18Na tenepo, iye alonga kuti: ‘Ha! Ndapidziwa pinafuna cita ine. Ndinafudza pyete pyanga pyonsene, mbandimanga pinango pikulu. Mwenemu ndinadza kakoya phoso yanga na pyonsene pina ine.’
19Ndingamala ndinalonga ndekhene kuti: ‘Iwe una pyakudya pya kuinjipa m'pyete mwako, pinakwana kuti umale napyo pyaka pizinji. Cincino puma pyako. Dya, mwa pyako, mbutsandzaya!’
20Mbwenye Mulungu ampanga tenepa: ‘Dzemwawe!’ Masiku ano iwe unafa. Mbani mphapo anafuna sala na pyonsene pidasasanyira iwe?”
21Yezu amalisira na kulonga tenepa: “Penepi ndipyo pinacitika na ale anasasanya mpfuma yawo toera aphedzeke, mbwenye pa maso pa Mulungu mbacherengi.”
22Penepo Yezu apanga anyakupfundza ace kuti: “Na tenepo, ine ndisakupangani kuti lekani kunentseka na makhaliro anu pa thangwi ya cinafuna imwe kudya, peno na manungo anu pa thangwi ya cinafuna imwe kubvala.
23Pinafunika pikulu kakamwe ndi upulumuki kupiringana ca kudya, na manungo kupiringana nguwo.”
24Lang'anani makhungubwe. Iwo nkhabe kubzala, nkhabe kubvuna, nkhabe pyete, nkhabe pikwa. Mbwenye Mulungu asaapasa ca kudya. Imwe musafunika pikulu kakamwe kupiringana mbalame!
25Mbani pakati panu ananentseka na kufuna kwace mbakwanisa kuthimizira pang'ono pyaka pyace?
26Mphapo ngakhala imwe nkhabe kukwanisa kucita cing'ono ici basi, thangwi yanji musanentseka na pinango?
27Lang'anani kukula kunacita maluwa: Iwo nkhabe phata basa, peno kusasanya nguwo zawo. Mbwenye ine ndisakupangani kuti Salomau, munthu wakupfuma kakamwe, hakhadabvala nguwo zakubalika ninga za luwa ibodzi iyi tayu.
28Imwe anthu akukhulupira pang'ono, ngakhala Mulungu asabvazika tenepa maluwa a munda anacita kuti lero alipo, mangwana aponyiwa pa moto, ndiye tani kuna imwe, nkhabe kudza kakubvazikani?
29Lekani kunentseka na kusaka kuti munadyanji, peno munamwanji.
30Thangwi anasaka penepi ndi ale anthu a pa dziko ino. Mbwenye imwe, Baba Wanu asadziwa pyonsene pire pinafuna imwe.
31Cakutoma sakani Umambo wa Mulungu, pyonsene ipi munadza kathimizirwa.
32Yezu athimiza na kulonga kuti: “Lekani kugopa tayu imwe nkumbi ung'ono! Thangwi Baba wanu asakomerwa na kukupasani Umambo wace.
33Gulisani pyonsene pina imwe mukwate kobiri eneyi muipase anyakucherenga. Citani pikhwama pya kuti nkhabe kusakala, mbamukoya mpfuma yanu kudzulu. Kweneku iyo nkhabe kudza kamala. Thangwi kweneku mambava nkhabe kwanisa kuiba, pontho ucenje nkhabe kwanisa kuidya.
34Thangwi pana mpfuma yanu, penepo ndipo pana ntima wanu.”
35Yezu athimiza pontho na kulonga kuti: “Khalani mbamudasasanyira na nyale zanu zakugaka.
36Khalani ninga anyabasa anadikhira mbuya wawo, adaenda ku phwandu ya banja, kuti angabwera mbamenya nsuwo, iwo anfungulire na mwansanga.
37Mbatsandzaye ale anyabasa anagumanwa mbalan'ganira na mbuya wawo pakubwera kwace. Ndinakupangani kuti, iye ene mbuya wawo, anasasanyikambo kuti aaphatire basa. Anaapanga kuti akhale pa thando, iye mbabweresa pyakudya mbaapasira.”
38Pontho mbatsandzaye anyabasa anagumanwa mbakhalang'anira, mbuya wawo angabwera pa chitichiti peno m'bambakuca!
39Mbwenye kumbukani kuti mbidakhala mwanacinthu nyumba asaudziwa n'dzidzi unafuna kufika mbava, mbadasiya tayu kuti mbava aswe nyumba yace.
40Na imwembo, khalani mudasasanyira, thangwi Ine Mwana wa Munthu ndinafika pa n'dzidzi unakhonda imwe kudikhira.
41Na tenepo, Pedhru abvundza kuti: “Mbuya nsanje unowu musapanga ife basi, peno musapangambo anthu onsene?”
42Mbuya atawira tenepa: “Mbani mphapo, nyabasa wakukhulupirika na wa ndzeru adaikhwa na mbuya wace, kuti aonerere anyabasa ace na kuapasa ca kudya n'dzidzi ungakwana?”
43Mbatsandzaye nyabasa unowu anagumanwa mbaphata tenepa basa, pa kubwera kwa mbuya wace.
44Ndinakupangani kuti mbuya wace anampasa cidzo ca kuonerera mpfuma yace yonsene.
45Ndiye tani mphapo nyabasa uyu mbadanyerezera tenepa: “Mbuya wanga asadembuka na kubwera.” Na tenepo, mbatomba kucita kuipa anyabasa andzace amuna na akazi, mbadya mbamwa, mbaledzera pyace.
46Penepo, mbuya wace anadza kabwera ntsiku ikhakhonda iye kudikhira, pa n'dzidzi unakhonda iye kudziwa. Iye anamuonesa nyatwa ikulu mbamuikha mbuto ibodzi ene na anyakukhonda kutawira.
47Ule nyabasa anadziwa ndi ninji pinafuna mbuya wace, mbwenye mbakhonda kusasanyira kuti acite pinafuna iye, anati aoneswe nyatwa na michamu mizinji.
48Mbwenye ule anadodomeka na thangwi ya kukhonda kudziwa pinafuna mbuya wace, unowu anaoneswa nyatwa na michamu pan'gono basi. Anapasiwa pizinji anaphembwa pizinji. Ananyindirwa pikulu, anamphembwambo pikulu.
49Yezu athimiza na kulonga kuti: “Ine ndabwera kudza kagasa moto pa dziko. Ndi pikhafuna ine kuti ugake!
50Mbwenye ndisatongwa nditambire batixmu ya nyatwa. Na tenepo, ntima wanga nkhabe kukhurudzika, penepi mbapidzati kucitika!
51Imwe musanyerezera kuti ndabweresa ntendere pa dziko? Nkhabe, sidabweresa ntendere tayu, mbwenye ndabweresa phambulo.
52Thangwi kutomera lero kwenda kutsogolo, mudzi una anthu axanu, anagawana. Atatu anazondana na awiri, awiri anazondana na atatu.
53Baba anadza kazondana na mwana wace wa mamuna, mwana wa mamuna anadza kazondana na baba wace. Mai anadza kazondana na mwana wace wa nkazi, na mwanambo wa nkazi anadza kazondana na mai wace. Mebzala anadza kazondana na nkwenya wace, nkwenyambo anadza kazondana na mebzala wace.”
54Yezu alongambo pontho kuna mbumba kuti: Imwe mungaona khole mbaikwira kumadokero a dzuwa, musalonga tenepa: “Lero mulungu anabvumba.” Iye asabvumbadi.
55Mungabva mphepo ya bangwe mbimenya, musalonga tenepa: “Lero kuna pisa.” Kunja mbakupisadi.
56Imwe anyauthambi! Musakwanisa kuchulula pidzindikiro pya kudzulu na pya pantsi. Mphapo ndi thangwi yanji musacimwana kuchulula pidzindikiro pya n'dzidzi uno?
57Yezu athimiza na kulonga tenepa: “Thangwi yanji imwe munakhonda dziwa mwekhene pinthu pyakulungama?
58Ngakhala iwe uli kwenda katongesana na nyamalwa wako ku luwani, saka kusekesana naye n'jira, toera ndzako akhonde kukukwata kwenda nawe kuna ntongi, iyembo ntongi akupereke kuna nsupai, nsupaimbo mbakufungira n'kaidi.
59Ndisakupanga kuti iwe nkhabe buluka mwenemu mbudzati kumalisa kulipa mangawa ako onsene.”
