20 Mbwenye Mulungu ampanga tenepa: ‘Dzemwawe!’ Masiku ano iwe unafa. Mbani mphapo anafuna sala na pyonsene pidasasanyira iwe?”
21 Yezu amalisira na kulonga tenepa: “Penepi ndipyo pinacitika na ale anasasanya mpfuma yawo toera aphedzeke, mbwenye pa maso pa Mulungu mbacherengi.”
22 Penepo 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.
23 Pinafunika pikulu kakamwe ndi upulumuki kupiringana ca kudya, na manungo kupiringana nguwo.”

32 Yezu athimiza na kulonga kuti: “Lekani kugopa tayu imwe nkumbi ung'ono! Thangwi Baba wanu asakomerwa na kukupasani Umambo wace.
33 Gulisani 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.

38 Pontho mbatsandzaye anyabasa anagumanwa mbakhalang'anira, mbuya wawo angabwera pa chitichiti peno m'bambakuca!
39 Mbwenye kumbukani kuti mbidakhala mwanacinthu nyumba asaudziwa n'dzidzi unafuna kufika mbava, mbadasiya tayu kuti mbava aswe nyumba yace.
40 Na imwembo, khalani mudasasanyira, thangwi Ine Mwana wa Munthu ndinafika pa n'dzidzi unakhonda imwe kudikhira.
41 Na tenepo, Pedhru abvundza kuti: “Mbuya nsanje unowu musapanga ife basi, peno musapangambo anthu onsene?”
42 Mbuya atawira tenepa: “Mbani mphapo, nyabasa wakukhulupirika na wa ndzeru adaikhwa na mbuya wace, kuti aonerere anyabasa ace na kuapasa ca kudya n'dzidzi ungakwana?”
43 Mbatsandzaye nyabasa unowu anagumanwa mbaphata tenepa basa, pa kubwera kwa mbuya wace.
44 Ndinakupangani kuti mbuya wace anampasa cidzo ca kuonerera mpfuma yace yonsene.

47 Ule nyabasa anadziwa ndi ninji pinafuna mbuya wace, mbwenye mbakhonda kusasanyira kuti acite pinafuna iye, anati aoneswe nyatwa na michamu mizinji.
48 Mbwenye 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.
49 Yezu athimiza na kulonga kuti: “Ine ndabwera kudza kagasa moto pa dziko. Ndi pikhafuna ine kuti ugake!
