1Kuya Yesu kawapetela iwanang'ina wake imbuli kuwalangulitsa ka wobamighwa kulomba matsuwa ghose, waleke kwipfa.
2Kalonga, “Mne ghumji ghumwe tsakukala na mlamutsi, ayo ng'ampfukile bae Imulungu wala ng'awanoghele iwanu bae.
3Pfipfila tsakukala ne chitsuka yumwe mne ghumji agho iyang'ali yomghendelagha kumlomba bila kwipfa mlamutsi ayo, ‘Utulamle nene na mwihile wangu.’
4Kwa matsuwa mengi mlamutsi ayo kalema kumwapfila chitsuka ayo. Lekeni hambele kalonga, ‘Hata ka nene simpfuka bae Imulungu wala siwanoghela iwanu bae,
5lekeni kwaapfila chitsuka ayu konitsupfa, nitsomlamulila, hela koghendelela kunitsila na kunenda nyipfe!’ ”
6Kuya Imtwatsa kaghendelela kulonga, “Muhulikitse pfalongile mlamutsi ayu yehile.
7Pfii lelo Imulungu ng'atsowalamulila bae iwanu wala iyawasaghule, iwomlilila chilo na misi? Apfi katsokawa kuwapfila?
8Nowalongela katsowapfila hima! Hata apfo Imwana we Imunu hatsakutsa, apfi katsopfika iwanu wotoghola mne iisi?”
9Kuya Yesu kawalongela imbuli ino iwanu wala iweghoda na kuwabetsa wangi.
10“Iwanu weli waghenda kune ing'anda ye Imulungu kulomba. Yumwe Mfarisayo na yungi imunu iyosola kodi.
11Ayo Mfarisayo kema, kalomba mne ghumoyo ghwake, ‘Mighede, Ghwe Imulungu, kwaapfila nene si ka iwanu wangi bae, iwoboka, iwotenda ghehile, watsinzi, wala si ka ayu msola kodi.
12Nene noleka ukuja ghamatsuwa meli mne ghamatsuwa saba, nolapfa tsaka ye ipfinu pfose pfanipata!’
13“Lekeni ayula msola kodi kema kutali, wala ng'alolile bae kulanga. Lekeni ketowa mmambagha mwake kwa usungu, kalonga, ‘Ghwe Imulungu, umbonele libatsi, nene mtenda ghehile.’ ”
14Nowalongela, “Ayu msola kodi koka ukaye yake akuno katogholighwa ne Imulungu kubita ayula yungi. Kwaapfila imunu wowose yetenda imwenyegho mkulu katsotendighwa mdodo, na imunu wowose yetenda imwenyegho mdodo katsotendighwa mkulu.”
15Iwanu tsawamghalila Yesu iwana wadodo awekile ghamoko. Iwanang'ina wake hawonile apfi, wawakembela.
16Lekeni Yesu kawakema iwana wamghendele, kalonga, “Muwaleke iwana wadodo wanitsile, mleke kuwaghoma. Kwaapfila undewa we Imulungu wa iwanu ka wano.
17Nowalongela ghendo, imunu wowose yang'aubokela undewa we Imulungu ka imwana mdodo, ng'atsakwingila bae mne undewa awo.”
18Na mkulu yumwe wa Chiyahudi kamghutsa Yesu, “Mlangulitsi yunoghile, nitende choni ili nidahe kupata ughima wa matsuwa ghose?”
19Yesu kamghutsa, “Mbona kwonikema ninogha? Kuduhu yanoghile lekeni Imulungu aliyeka.
20Kwoghamanya ghamalaghitso. ‘Uleke utsinzi, uleke kukoma, uleke kulonga ughutsu, wategheletse aba wako na mai wako.’ ”
21Kamwidika, “Agho ghose nighakinda kulawa udodo wangu.”
22Yesu haulike apfo kamlongela, “Kuhungukighwa na ichinu chimwe. Utsa pfose pfawinapfo na sendi uwagholele wahingwa, naghwe kutsakuwa na utajiri kulanga. Kuya utse uniwinze.”
23Lekeni imunu ayo haulike apfi, kwona usungu ng'ani kwaapfila tsakakala tajiri ng'ani.
24Yesu hamwonile kakona usungu, kalonga, “Pfikomu ng'ani kwa matajiri kwingila mne undewa we Imulungu!
25Kwaapfila pfibewe kwa ngamiya kwingila mne litobo lye isindano kubita tajiri kwingila mne undewa we Imulungu!”
26Awala iwahulike apfo waghutsa, “Lelo yuhi yodaha kukombolighwa?”
27Yesu kedika, “Ichinu ing'achidahika kwe iwanu, kwe Imulungu chodahika.”
28Kuya Petiri kalonga, “Lola! Twetwe tupfileka ipfinu pfetu pfose twokuwinza ghweghwe.”
29Yesu kawalongela, “Nowalongela ghendo, imunu wowose iyalekile ing'anda yake au mwehe wake au iwandughu tsake au iwamweleke au iwanaghe kwaajili ya undewa we Imulungu,
30katsobokela pfingi mna matsuwa agha, na ughima wa matsuwa ghose mne chipindi ichikutsa.”
31Yesu tsakawasola awala kumi na weli kawalongela, “Mlole! Twoghenda Yerusalemu, na chila chinu chandikighwe na manabii che Imwana we Imunu chitsolawila.
32Kwaapfila katsakwikighwa mne ghamoko ghe iwanu iwali si Wayahudi bae. Nawo watsombetsa, watsomligha, watsombwalulila ghamate,
33watsomfapula pfiboko, kuya watsomkoma. Mne litsuwa lya kadatu katsotsilihuka.”
34Lekeni iwanang'ina ng'awamanyile bae ichinu acho. Tsawapfisighwa mana ye imbuli ayo, na ng'awatangile ighalongighwe.
35Yesu hapfikile habehi na Yeriko, imunu yumwe ichifita tsakakala mmbalimbali mwe inzila kolomba.
36Haulike iwanu wobita, kaghutsa, “kuna choni?”
37Wamlongela, “Yesu wa Natsareti kobita.”
38Naye kakemelela, “Yesu, Mtsukulu wa Daudi, mbonele libatsi!”
39Wanu wala iwalongole wamkembela wamlongela anyamale, lekeni yeye kaghendelela kukemelela, “Mtsukulu wa Daudi, mbonele libatsi!”
40Yesu kema kalaghitsa wamghale imunu ayo hana yeye. Hapfikile habehi, Yesu kamghutsa,
41“Kwobama nikutendele choni?” Kedika, “Imtwatsa, nobama mbone.”
42Yesu kamlongela, “Wone! Kutoghola kwako kukuhonetsa!”
43Bahala ichifita ayo kadaha kona, kamuwinza Yesu, aku komtunya Imulungu. Iwanu wose hawonile apfo, nawo pfipfila wamtunya Imulungu.
