1Patsogolo pace Jezu adawatsikira mathere. Adati, “Mwamuna m'bodzi adalima dimba la uva acimanga litsito kuzungulira dimbalo. Adacera dindi lakupsinyira uva, acimanga gota lakukhalilira dimbalo. Patsogolo pace adapasa alimi anango acipangana nawo kuti akabvuna ambam'pase bzisapo bzace. Ndipo iye adacoka mudzikomo.
2Nthawe yakubvuna yatakwana, mwenekaciro adatuma wabasa wace kwa alimi wale kuti akatambire bzisapo bzace.
3Tsono iwo adaphata wabasa ule acim'menya ndipo acimubweza alibe cinthu.
4Mwenekaciro ule adatuma wabasa winango tsono alimi wale adam'tema mmsolo acimunyazisa.
5Ndipo mwenekaciro ule adatuma wabasa winango iwo adamupha. Adacita bzibodzi-bodzi na wabasa azinji, winango adawamenya aciwapweteka, wina adawapha.
6“Mwenekaciro ule adasala na mwana wace m'bodzi wapamtima. Ndipo patsogolo pace adadzam'tuma kuna iwo. Adakumbuka kuti, ‘Mwana wangu, an'kamulemekeza.’
7Ndipo alimi wale adayamba kuwuzana kuti, ‘Omweyu ndiye nyanthaka wace. Mbatimuphe kuti idzakhale yathu.’
8Cadidi adamuphata, acimupha acimuthusa kunja kwa dimbalo.
9“Kodi mwenekaciro wa dimba an'dzacita ciyani? An'dzabwera aciwapha alimiwo, dimba lire acipasa anango.
10Kodi mulibe kulewenga bzomwe bzakunemba bzimbalewa? Bzimbati, ‘Mwala omwe amisiri wakumanga nyumba adaulamba, ndiwo wadzakhala mwala wakufunika.
11Mbuya Mulungu ndiye adacita, ndipo n'cidabwiso kwa ife.’”
12Ndipo akulu wa Mayuda adadziwa kuti mathereyo akhayezerera iwo. Ndipopo adafuna kum'manga Jezu, tsono akhagopa mthithi wa wanthu. Ndipo iwo adandocoka acimuleka.
13Wanthu wa bungwe la Afaliseyu, na winango wa phati ra Herodi adatumidwa kuti akatape mkanwa Jezu.
14Iwo adafika aciti, “Mpfundzisi, tin'dziwa kuti imwe ndimwe wakulungama, ndipo mulibe lubvera. Mumbanyang'ana lini kuti uyu mbani, ndipo mumbapfundzisa njira ya uMulungu cadidi. Kodi kumbvumizidwa kuti timbapime msonkho kwa mambo wa kuRoma, ayai ne?
15Timbapimedi ayai tileke?” Tsono Jezu pakudziwa ndzeru zawo zaciphamaso, adati:“Thangwe ranyi mundiyeza utowa? Ndipaseni kobiri ibodzi kuti ndiione.”
16Iwo adam'pasa kobiri ire. Ndipo iye adawabvundza kuti, “Kodi nkhopeyi njayani, ndipo dzinali ndayani?” Iwo adatawira,“ Nbza Seza.’
17Pamwepo Jezu adawauza kuti, “Ehedi! Perekani bza Seza kwa Seza, bza Mulungu kwa Mulungu.” Pakubva bzimwebzi adadabwa naye.
18Pamwepo maSaduseu anango omwe ambati palibe an'dzamuka kwa wakufa, adafendera kwa Jezu. acimbvundza kuti:
19“Mpfundzisi, Mozeji adatinembera kuti, ‘Penu munthu akafa, acisiya m'kazi, alibe naye mwana, m'bale wa wakufayo apite nthaka kuti abalire m'bale wace ule omwe adafa.’
20Akhalipo wanthu anomwe paubale bwawo. Wakuyamba adalowola, adafa alibe kusiya mwana.
21Waciwiri adapita nthaka, na iyembo adafa ne kusiya mwana. Bzibodzi-bodzi, bzidacitika kuna wacitatu.
22Mpaka anomwe wentse adafa alibe kusiya wana. Pakumalizira mkaziyo adadzafambo.
23Kodi pantsiku yakudzamuka kwa wakufa, mwenekaciro mkaziyo an'dzakhala uponi? Thangwe la kuti abale anomwe wale wentse akhadamulowola.”
24Jezu adawatawira kuti, “Ndipopa mumbaphonya thangwe ra kusaya kudziwa bzakunemba ndipo na mphambvu za Mulungu.
25Na tenepo pakumuka kwa wakufa, palibe kulowolana. Wentse an'dzakhala ninga anjo za Kudzaulu.
26Tsono bzakuti wanthu an'dzamuka kwa wakufa, kodi mulibe kulewenga mulivu la Mozeji, pomwe pali kulewa bza citsamba cakugaka? Mulungu adamuwuza Mozeji kuti, ‘Ine ndine Mulungu wa Abramu, Izaki, na Jakobi.’
27Ibzi bziri kulatiza kuti Mulungu ni mulungu lini wa wakufa, ni mulungu wa wamoyo. Imwepo muli kuphonyeka.”
28Mdziwi m'bodzi wa mtemo, adabva kutsutsana kwawo. Pomwe adawona kuti Jezu adawatawira bwino Asaduseyu wale, adafendera adabvundza aciti, “Kodi mwa mitemo yentse, ukulu ni uponi?”
29Jezu adamutawira kuti, “Mtemo ukulu nguyu, ‘Bvani, Aizirayeri! Mbuya, Mulungu wathu, ndiye Mulungu m'bodzi yekha.
30Funa Mbuya, Mulungu wako, na mtima wako wentse, na moyo wako wentse, na ndzeru zako zentse, na mphambvu zako zentse.’
31Mtemo waciwiri nguyu, ‘Funa andzako ninga momwe umbabzifunira iwe wekha.’ Palibe mtemo winango ukulu wakuposa mitemo imwei.”
32Mdziwi ule wa mtemo* adati, “Mwatawira bwino, mpfundzisi. Ninga mwalewa, ncadidi kuti Mulungu ni m'bodzi yekha ndipo palibe winango.
33Ndipombo umufune na mtima wentse, na ndzeru zentse, na mphambvu zentse, ndipombo funa mwandzako ninga umbabzifunira iwe wekha, bzimwebzi mpsabwino kuposa kupereka ntsembe zakutentha na ntsembe zinango zentse.”
34Jezu adawona kuti munthuyo adatawira na udziwi. Ndipo adamuwuza kuti, “Iwe uli lini kutali na Umambo bwa Mulungu.” Kuyambira pamwepo pakhalibe winango wakulimba mtima kuti amubvundze.
35Pomwe Jezu akhapfundzisa muNyumba ya Mulungu, adabvundza, “Kodi adziwi wa mtemo ambalewa kuti Krixtu ni mwana wa David?
36Mwa mzimu wakucena David, adati: ‘Mbuya adawuza Mbuya wangu kuti ‘khala kuboko langu ladidi, mpaka ndiikhe awengi wako pansi pa minyendo yako.”
37David caiye, ambacemera krixtu kuti, Mbuya. Angakhale tani mwana wace?” Wanthu azinji akhatetekera na kukomedwa kwene-kwene pakubva mafala yace.
41Ntsiku inango, Jezu akhadakhala pafupi na ntsengwa yakuikhira kobiri za ntsembe muNyumba ya Mulungu. Akhanyang'anisisa momwe wanthu akhaperekera kobiri zawo. Wanthu azinji wakudala akhathusa kobiri zizinji.
42Tsono padafika mansiwa m'bodzi, adathusa tukobiri tuwiri twakukwanira quadrante .
43Ndipo Jezu adacemera wakupfundzira wace aciwauza kuti, “Ncadidi ndiri kulewa kuti mansiwa wakusaukayu wathusa kuposa wanthu wentsewa omwe ali kuthusa kobiri muntsengwa.
44Thangwe winangowa andothusa bzomwe atapa pa bzizinji anabzo. Tsono mkaziyu, mwa kusauka kwace, wathusa bzentse bzomwe akhali nabzo, napo bzomwe bzingadamuthandiza pamoyo wace.”
