1Abaho Yesu kawafundiza wanahina zake kwa lusimo kamba siku zose wolondeka kumpula Mulungu na sekewadonhe.
2Kalonga, “Kudibuga dimoja kukala na msemi yakalile hamdumba Mulungu hebu kuwatonga wanhu.
3Vivija kudibuga dijo, kukala na mgane imoja yakalile komgendela msemi ayo baho kwa baho, kampula, ‘Ngwelele haki yangu kulawa kwa munhu yanitendele gehile.’
4Siku nyingi msemi ayo hamtegeleze mgane ayo, lakini kumwande kailongela, ‘Hata kamba simdumba Mulungu hebu kuwatonga wanhu,
5lakini kwavija mgane ino konigaza, nomgwaa haki yake, kwavija nahaleka, kogendelela kwiza hano na kunigaza!’ ”
6Abaho Mndewa kagendelela kulonga, “Tegelezeni kiyalongile msemi ija yehile.
7Vino, Mulungu honda yawagwee haki wanhu zake yawasagule, womulilila imisi na ikilo? Vino kokawa kuwategeleza?
8Nowalongela, kowagwaa haki yao himahima. Lakini Mwana wa Munhu vondayeze, vino kodivika tamanilo mwiisi?”
9Abaho Yesu kawalongela lusimo luno wanhu waja wakalile woitapa wanoga na kuwabeza wayagwe.
10“Kukala na wanhu wabili wacholile kumpula Mulungu kuna Ing'anda ya Mulungu. Imoja kakala Mfalisayo na iyagwe kakala mbokela kodi.
11“Mfalisayo ayo kainega kumgwazo na kumpula Mulungu, ‘Go Mulungu, nokugwaa nhogolwa kwavija niye sili kamba wanhu wayagwe, wabokaji, wotenda gehile, hebu wagoni. Wala sili kamba ino mbokela kodi.
12Niye nofunga kuja miyanza mibili mzisiku saba, na nolava fungu da longo da vinhu vangu vose vinipata!’
13“Lakini ija mbokela kodi kema kutali, hadahile hata kwinula meso gake kuulanga, lakini kaitowa mhambaga yake kwa usungu, kalonga, ‘Go Mulungu, nyonele bazi, niye notenda nzambi!’
14Nowalongela, mbokela kodi ija kachola ukayake kuno katendigwa kanoga mgameso Mulungu kubanza ija Mfalisayo. Kwavija wose woitenda wanhu wakulu wohumulusigwa, na waja woihumulusa wotendigwa wanhu wakulu.”
15Wanhu wayagwe wamgalila Yesu wana wadodo yawekile makono. Wanahina viwone avo, wawakomhokela.
16Lakini Yesu kawakema iwana, kalonga, “Walekeni wana wadodo weze kumwangu, sekemuwagomese, kwavija Undewa wa Mulungu wa wanhu kamba wano.
17Nowalongeleni ukweli! Munhu yoyose yolema kuubokela Undewa wa Mulungu kamba mwana mdodo, honda yengile ng'o!”
18Mkulu imoja kamuuza Yesu, “Mfundiza Unogile, nhende choni niupate ugima wa mazuwa gose?”
19Yesu kamuuza, “Habali kong'hema, ‘unogile’? Kuduhu yanogile, ila Mulungu yaiyeka.
20Kugajuwa Malagizo, ‘Sekeutende ugoni, sekeukome, sekewibe, sekeulonge uvizi, wategeleze tatako na mamako.’ ”
21Munhu ija kedika, “Gago gose nigagoga toka haudodo.”
22Yesu viyahulike avo, kamulongela, “Kuhungukiligwa na kinhu kimoja. Chuuza vose viulinavo, uwagwee sente wanhu wakiwa, na gweye kokuwa na ngama yako kuulanga. Abaho wize unikweleleze.”
23Lakini munhu ayo viyahulike avo, kanyunyuwala kwavija kakala tajili ng'hani.
24Yesu viyamone kanyunyuwala, kalonga, “Vino avo vonda iwe vidala kwa wanhu matajili kwingila Muundewa wa Mulungu!
25Kwavija vibuha kwa ngamiya kubita mna ikizonzo cha sanzia, kubanza tajili kwingila muundewa wa Mulungu.”
26Wanhu wamuhulike, wamuuza, “Avo lelo nani yonda yadahe kukomboligwa?”
27Yesu kawedika, “Vinhu havidahika kwa wanhu, kwa Mulungu vodahika.”
28Abaho Petulo kalonga, “Lola! Tweye tuvileka vinhu vetu vose, tukukweleleza gweye.”
29Yesu kawalongela, “Nowalongela kweli, munhu yoyose yoleka kae yake hebu mwehe wake hebu ndugu zake hebu tatake na mamake hebu wanage mbuli ya Undewa wa Mulungu,
30kobokela vinhu vingi ng'hani mna ikipindi kino na kobokela ugima wa mazuwa gose mna ikipindi chonda kize.”
31Yesu kawagala hamgwazo wanahina zake longo na wabili, kawalongela, “Tegelezeni! Tochola Yelusalemu. Kuko kila kinhu chandikigwe na watula ndagu wa Mulungu mbuli ya Mwana wa Munhu cholawilila.
32Kwavija kogeligwa mmakono ga wanhu haweli Wayahudi, nao womzeha, womuliga, na womtemela mate.
33Womtowa mbalati na kumkoma, lakini siku da kadatu kozilibuka.”
34Lakini wanahina hawazijuwile bule mbuli azo, kwavija wakala wafisigwe na hawakijuwile kija kiyakalile yokilonga Yesu.
35Yesu viyakalile behi na kuvika Yeliko, munhu imoja yakalile msuwameso kakala hamgwazo mnzila, kopula.
36Munhu ayo viyahulike lunhu lwa wanhu lobita, kauza, “Kuna choni?”
37Wanhu wamulongela, “Yesu wa Nazaleti kobita.”
38Nayo kakemelela, “Yesu! Mwana wa Daudi! Nyonele bazi!”
39Wanhu walongole wamkomhokela, wamulongela yanyamale. Lakini heyo kagendelela kukemelela ng'hani, “Mwana wa Daudi! Nyonele bazi!”
40Avo Yesu kema, kalagiza munhu ija yagaligwe kumwake. Viyavikile behi, Yesu kamuuza,
41“Kolonda nikutendele choni?” Nayo kamwidika, “Go mkulu, nolonda kulola.”
42Yesu kamulongela, “Lola! Kutamanila kwako kukuhonya.”
43Bahaja munhu ija kadaha kulola, kamkweleleza Yesu kuno komgwaa nhogolwa Mulungu. Wanhu wose viwone avo, wamgwaa nhogolwa Mulungu.
