1Yesu kandusa kulonga nawo kwa imbuli, “Imunu yumwe tsakahanda mitsabibu mne mghunda. Kuya kaghutsengela luwa, kahimba hanu ha ukukamila na kutsenga chilingilo. Keka wemilitsi, kuya koka isi ya kutali.
2Ghumsimu ghwa kupfuna tsabibu haghupfikile, kamtuma imtumwa wake akasole tsabibu.
3Lekeni wemilitsi wamghogha, wamtowa, wamuwinga bila kumwing'a chinu.
4Kuya imunu ayo kamtuma imtumwa yungi. Ayo wamtowa mwitwi na kumtendela pfihile.
5Kamtuma yungi, ayo naye wamkoma. Kawatuma iwatumwa wangi wengi, wangi wawatowa na wangi wawakoma.
6Yakalile imunu yumwe yaliheka wa kumtuma, naye iye imwanaghe iyamnoghele ng'ani. Kalonga, ‘Ayu wa ukumambulitsa nakwona watsomhulikitsa, kwaapfila ka mwanangu.’
7Lekeni wemilitsi wala welongela, ‘Ayu ambe mhala mghunda ghuno. Leka tumkome ili mghunda ghuno ghuwe ghwetu!’
8Wamghogha, wamkoma, wamwasa kunze kwe mghunda.”
9Yesu kaghutsa, “Imunu yane mghunda yatsotendatse? Katsakutsa kuwakoma wemilitsi wose na kuweng'a iwanu wangi mghunda aghwo.
10Ng'amsomile bae liandiko ililonga. ‘Libwe lyawalilemile iwotsenga, Alyo liwa libwe kulu lya haghati.
11Imbuli ino ilawa kwe Imtwatsa, nayo yotukangawatsa!’ ”
12Tsawabama kumghogha kwaapfila tsawamanya ka imbuli yailongile kawalonga wawo, ila wawapfuka iwanu. Apfo wamleka yaliyeka, woka.
13Hambele, wawatuma Mafarisayo wangi ne iwanu wa kingili lya Herodi kuna Yesu ili wamteghe ghayolonga.
14Wamghendela, walonga, “Imlangulitsi, twokumanya ghweghwe kwa imunu yulongesa ghendo, na ng'aupfuka bae ukulu we imunu, wala ng'aulola ipfihanga pfe iwanu. Lekeni kwoilangulitsa ghendo inzila ye Imulungu. Utulongele, apfi pfinogha au ng'apfinoghile bae kuliha kodi kwa Kaisari? Tumlihe au tuleke kumliha?”
15Lekeni Yesu kamanya ung'enye wawo. Kawaghutsa, “Ule mwobama kunitegha? Ngalileni sendi ayo niyone.”
16Wamghalila sendi ayo. Naye kawaghutsa, “Angu ichihanga chino na taghwa lino lya nani?” Wamwidika, “Pfa Kaisari.”
17Kuya Yesu kawalongela, “Mmwing'e Kaisari pfa Kaisari na mmwing'e Imulungu pfe Imulungu.”
18Kuya Masadukayo, iwanu iwolonga kuduhu ukutsilihuka kulawa mne lifwa wamghendela Yesu wamghutsa,
19“Mlangulitsi, Musa tsakatwandikila pfino, ka imunu indughu yake kafa, naye kamleka mwehe iyalihela iwana, ndughu we imunu ayo kobamighwa amkwele chitsuka ayo ili amwelekele ndughu yake iwana.
20Tsakukala ne iwandughu saba. Imkulu wawo kakwela, naye kafa bila kuleka imwana wowose.
21Ndughu wa keli kamkwela chitsuka ayo, naye kafa bila kweleka imwana. Ilawila pfipfo kwa ndughu wa kadatu.
22Iwandughu wose saba wafa na ng'awalekile imwana bae. Kuya mwehe yula naye kafa.
23Lelo iwanu hawatsotsilihuka kulawa mne lifwa, angu mwehe ayo yakuwa wa nani kwaapfila wose saba tsawamkwela?”
24Yesu kawedika, “Mwemwe mwakwagha kwaapfila ng'ammanya bae Ghamaandiko Mahenzeluka wala ngupfu ye Imulungu.
25Iwanu iwafile hawatsotsilihuka, ng'awatsokwela wala kukwelighwa bae, watsakuwa ka wamalaika wa kulanga.
26Kwe imbuli ya ukutsilihuka kwe iwanu iwafile, apfi ng'amsomile bae imbuli ya libagho ilikwaka mne ichitabu cha Musa, Imulungu pfayalongile na Abrahamu, ‘Nene na Imulungu wa Abrahamu, na Imulungu we Isaka na Imulungu wa Yakobu.’
27Yeye si Imulungu we iwanu iwafile bae, ila we iwanu waghima. Apfo mwagha ghendo!”
28Imlangulitsi yumwe wa ghamalaghitso katsa kawahulika wodawala. Hayonile Yesu kawedika ghoya kamghutsa, “Mne ghamalaghitso ghose, lihi laghitso kulu kubita ghose?”
29Yesu kedika, “Laghitso kulu alino. ‘Mtegheletse mwemwe Waisiraeli! Imtwatsa Imulungu wetu ka Imtwatsa yumwe yaliyeka.
30Mnoghele Imulungu wako kwa ghumoyo ghwako ghwose na kwa muhe wako wose na kwa tsimbutsi tsako tsose na kwa ngupfu tsako tsose.’
31Na laghitso lya keli, ‘Mnoghele imunu wa habehi yako, ka pfawinoghela imwenyegho.’ Kuduhu laghitso kulu kubita agha meli.”
32Imlangulitsi ayo wa ghamalaghitso kamlongela Yesu, “Mlangulitsi, kwidika ghoya. Kulongesa ghendo, Imulungu ka yumwe na kuduhu imulungu yungi ila yeye.
33Na kumnoghela Imulungu kwa ghumoyo ghwako ghwose na kwa tsimbutsi tsako tsose na kwa ngupfu tsako tsose, na kumnoghela imunu wa habehi yako ka pfawinoghela ghwe imwenyegho pfinogha ghendo kubita kumlapfila Imulungu inambiko.”
34Yesu hayonile kedika kwa ihekima, kamlongela, “Ng'uli kutali bae na Undewa we Imulungu.” Kulawa baho, kuduhu imunu iyaghetsile kumghutsa Yesu imbuli yoyose.
35Yesu hayang'ali yolangulitsa mne ing'anda ye Imulungu, kawaghutsa, “Ebali iwolangulitsa Ghamalaghitso wolonga Kiristu kaimwana wa Daudi?
36Ghumuhe Mwenzeluka tsakamlongotsa Daudi, naye kalonga, ‘Imtwatsa kamlongela Imtwatsa wangu, Ukale ghumoko ghwangu ghwa kujilo mbaka niweke iwehile wako hasi ha ghamaghulu ghako.’
37“Daudi imwenyegho tsakamkema ‘Imtwatsa.’ Apfi Kiristu yodahatse kuwa imwanaghe?” Iwanu wengi wamhulikitsa kwa kudeng'elela.
38Yesu hayang'ali yolangulitsa kalonga, “Mwalangitse na iwolangulitsa Ghamalaghitso. Wonoghela kupfala ghamaghwanda matali na kulamsighwa mmasoko.
39Na wosaghula ipfighoda ipfili hambele mne tsing'anda tsa ukulombela na kukala hanu hanoghile mne ipfihungo.
40Wakuja mne tsing'anda tse pfitsuka, kwa kwilangusa wanogha, wolomba bila kwipfa. Awo watsohighighwa ng'ani.”
41Yesu tsakakala habehi na chinu cha kwikila sadaka, kalola iwanu pfawoghela tsisendi. Matajiri wengi walapfa sendi nyingi.
42Kuya katsa chitsuka yumwe mhingwa kaghela sendi mbili.
43Yesu kawakema iwanang'ina wake kalonga, “Nowalongela ghendo, chitsuka yuno keka nyingi kubita wose.
44Wose walapfa tsimali tsawo itsiswelele, lekeni chitsuka yuno kalapfa pfose pfalinapfo.”
