Lukasi 18:11-24

¹¹“Ayu Mfwalisayu awolukili weka yaki padadava kunda yaki, ‘Ngudeta chikomu yuwi Chapanga, nenga ndiva kucha vandu vamonga ha, vapoki awu vadesi awu vawoni. Nenga ndiyifwana ng'odu na ayu msumula mbiya.

¹²Nguyikaja kulya myanja mivili kwa juma, saka ngutawula lilongu limu lya chimbata nenga.’

¹³“Lakini yula msumula mbiya kunu kawoloka kutali kalemwa hata kuyinula mesu vaki kumbindi, ila akakamulili chifuva chaki kulangusha kushisha moyu, akadeteyi, ‘Yuwi Chapanga, ung'oneli lusungu nenga yimeli na sambi!’

¹⁴Nguvawombela, ayu msumula mbiya awuyili kaya Chapanga kamupomela sambi shaki lakini yula muyaki apomeliwili ha. Nongwa yayikwesha dasunushwi na yayidedeka dakweshiwi.”

¹⁵Vandu vamuyeghela Yesu vana vadokwa ili avavikili mawoku vaki. Vanachuli pavavawonili, vakavakanisheyi kwa filongu fikalipili.

¹⁶Lakini Yesu avakemili padeta, “Muvaleki vana ava vayisi kwa nenga, kandi mukotoo kuvakanisha, kwanongwa Wutwa wa kumbindi kwa Chapanga wuva kwa vandu kucha ava.

¹⁷Nguvawombela nakaka, mundu yoyosi yaupokela ng'odu wutwa wa kumbindi kwa Chapanga kucha mwana mdokwa, dayingili ng'odu Muwutwa awu.”

¹⁸Mkomi yumu Myawudi kamudasha Yesu, “muwula msangi, goli liki mbati unofu wa jola?”

¹⁹Yesu kamuwombela “Mbona ukungema msangi? Kwahela mundu yaveli msangi ila Chapanga weka yaki.

²⁰Uvamanyi Malawu, ‘Kotoo kugola uwoni, kotoo kuwulagha, kotoo kuhija, kotoo kudeta udesi na uvatundamili tati waku na mawu waku.’ ”

²¹Mweni adetili, “Afi fyosi nifimanya kufumila wana wangu.”

²²Yesu papikanishili fila, kamuwombela, “Kuna chindu chimu ukalihela kugola. Uhemeshi findu fyaku fyosi fiwuvelili nafyu, pambeli wuvagayili vagaju mbiya shaki, dawuvi na lusanja lwaku kumbindi. Pambeli wisi ungovikeli.”

²³Lakini mundu yula papikanishili fila, kang'ong'oteka nesu kwanongwa aveli mlundamali mkomi.

²⁴Yesu pamuwonili akung'ong'uteka nawula, adetili, “Yidindala munu kwa mlundamali kuyingila muwutwa wa kumbindi kwa Chapanga!
