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.”
