Lukasi 18:3-21

³Kumbwani kukula, kwavelili na mawu yumu ngalimlyangu mweni amuyendilili muhigha yula myanja yitangalili akamluveyi amtangi, pawomba, ‘Undangi mbati haki yangu kufuma kwa mdwama wangu.’

⁴Kwa chipindi chitali ayu muhigha akadayileyi ng'odu kumtanga ayu ngalimlyangu, lakini kumbeli kayiwombela, ‘Hata kucha nenga nimumanya ng'odu Chapanga na kuvabedala vandu,

⁵lakini kwanongwa ngalimlyangu ayu ya nyasha dandimtangi, leki payendilela kunyasha, pambeli dandofyi nesu kunyisila majuva vosi!’ ”

⁶Topi Bambu kayendelela kudeta, “Mpikanishi ndambu yadetili yula muhigha mwafu.

⁷Wuli ponopa Chapanga davatangi ng'odu vala yavashawulili, yivamlilila pamusi na pamihi, dalopukeshi ng'odu kuhigha highilu ya nakaka?

⁸Nguvawombela dalopukeshi kuhigha highilu ya nakaka. Hata naha, Mwana wa Mundu pawuya mumlima awu nakaka dawuwoni ujumilwa”

⁹Yesu kavawombela kwa chilangushilu ngimu vandu vala yivavelili vakwiwona veni goleki na kuvabedala vayawu vosi.

¹⁰“Kadeta, vandu vavili vayendili munyumba ya Chapanga kudadava, Mfwalisayu yumu na monga msumula mbiya.

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.”
