Luka 12:17-23

¹⁷Apfo kefikitsa mmoyo mwake, ‘Nahela hanu ha kwikila pfijo pfangu. Lelo nitendatse?’

¹⁸Kalonga, ‘Nitsotenda apfino; nitsotsimwagha kano tsangu na kutsenga tsingi ng'ulu ng'ani. Amo nitsakwika imitama yangu ne ipfinu pfangu pfingi.

¹⁹Kuya nitselongela mwenyegho; 'Ghwe ghumoyo ghwangu! Kwinapfo ipfinu pfingi kwa miyaka mingi. Bwihila ghwe; uje, unwe na udeng'elele!’

²⁰Lekeni Imulungu kamlongela imunu tajiri, ‘Kwambotsi ghweghwe! Chilo chichino ughima wako utsobamighwa! Pfinu pfawikile pfitsakuwa pfa nani?’ ”

²¹Yesu kalonga, “Apfi pfipfo pfapfitsakuwa kwe imunu wowose yeikile utajiri imwenyegho, lekeni ng'akwika bae utajiri kwe Imulungu.”

²²Kuya Yesu kawalongela iwanang'ina wake, “Mleke kughaya na ukwalangula kwe ichijo chambama ili mkale waghima, au ghamaghwanda ghambama kwa ng'uli tsenu.

²³Kwaapfila ughima unogha kubita ichijo na lukuli lunogha kubita maghwanda.
