Luka 12:4-21

⁴“Nowalongela mweye mbwiga zangu, sekemuwadumbe wanhu waja woukoma lukuli, abaho hawadaha kutenda kinhu kiyagwe chochose kihile.

⁵Lakini nowalagusila wa kumdumba, mdumbeni Mulungu, heyo yahakoma, kana udahi wa kumwasa munhu muumoto wa jehanamu. Nowalongeleni, mdumbeni ayo!

⁶“Vino nhongwa watano hawachuuzigwa kwa sente ndodo mbili? Lakini kuduhu hata imoja yosemwigwa na Mulungu.

⁷Hata mvili zili mmapala genu zipetigwa zose. Avo sekemudumbe. Mweye munoga ng'hani kubanza nhongwa wengi!

⁸“Nowalongeleni ukweli, munhu yoyose yonitogola niye mgameso ga wanhu, Mwana wa Munhu nayo komtogola mgameso ga wasenga wa Mulungu.

⁹Lakini munhu yoyose yonibela niye mgameso ga wanhu, Mwana wa Munhu nayo kombela mgameso ga wasenga wa Mulungu.

¹⁰“Munhu yoyose yomulonga vihile Mwana wa Munhu, nzambi zake zogeligwa kumgongo, lakini munhu yoyose yomuliga Loho Yang'alile, nzambi zake honda zigeligwe kumgongo bule.

¹¹“Wahawagala haulongozi wa ng'anda za kumpula Mulungu, na mgameso ga wakulu wa isi na wandewa, sekemunyawenyawe vija vonda mwidike hebu kija chonda mulonge.

¹²Kwavija Loho Yang'alile kowafundiza saa iija kimulondeka kulonga.”

¹³Munhu imoja muulunhu kamulongela Yesu, “Mfundiza, mulongele ndugu yangu tuigolele uhazi wa tataetu.”

¹⁴Yesu kamwidika, “Mbwigangu, nani yanigwelele udahi wa kuwalamula hebu kuwagolela uhazi wenu?”

¹⁵Abaho kagendelela kuwalongela wose, “Muiteganye na ugila! Kwavija ugima wa munhu hautamanila wingi wa vinhu viyalinavo.”

¹⁶Abaho Yesu kawalongela lusimo luno, “Kukala na munhu imoja yakalile na mgunda uli na ndiya nyingi.

¹⁷Kasonga kugelegeza mwenyego, ‘Nabule hanhu hakwika ndiya yangu yose. Nhendeze?’

¹⁸Abaho kailongela, ‘Notenda vino, nogatula makanho gangu na kuzenga makulu ng'hani. Mumo nokwika ndiya yangu na vinhu vangu viyagwe.

¹⁹Abaho noilongela, gweye moyo wangu! Kuna vinhu vose vinogile kwa miyaka heleketwaa. Bwihila, diya, ing'wa, na kudeng'helela!’

²⁰Lakini Mulungu kamulongela, ‘Gweye kwa mbozi! Kilo cha lelo noulonda ugima wako, abaho vinhu vose vino viuikile vokuwa va nani?’ ”

²¹Abaho Yesu kamambukiza kulonga, “Vino vivo ili kwa waja woikila vinhu vao wenyego, lakini haweka vinhu vao kwa Mulungu.”
