1Yesu kawalongela mmahala mwanza uyagwe, yolonga,
2“Undewa wa Kuulanga ulinga na mndewa yatandile lusona lwa zengele lwa mwanage.
3Kawatuma nyakadala zake wakawakeme waja wagonekigwe mulusona lwa zengele, ila walema kwiza.
4Abaho, kawatuma nyakadala wayagwe, kawalongela, ‘Walongeleni wanhu wose wagonekigwe kamba nitanda mandia gangu. Ng'ombe zangu iwakulu na iwadodo wanonile wesha kuchinjigwa, na kila kinhu kisasaligwa. Izoni hana ulusona lwa zengele!’
5Ila hawasinhuke. Wachola na zao, imwe kachola kumgunda, na iyagwe kachola kuuchuluzi wake.
6Wayagwe wawagoga nyakadala zake, wawaliga na kuwakoma.
7Ija imndewa kona lusango, avo kawatuma asikali zake wawabanange waja wakomaji na kudisoma wambo jao.
8Abaho, kawalongela nyakadala zake, ‘Lusona lwa zengele lusasaligwa, ila wanhu wagonekigwe hawalumbile kuvika.
9Avo gendeni mzinzilamhanda za mkiwambo mkawagoneke wanhu wondamuwawene weze kulusona lwa zengele.’
10Avo waja iwanyakadala wachola muna zinzila za mkiwambo na kuwalundiza wanhu wose wawavikile, wanogile na wehile, na dibugano da lusona lwa zengele dimema wahenza.
11“Ila ija imndewa viyengile kuwalola iwahenza, kamona munhu haja yalekile kuvala vivalo va lusona lwa zengele.
12Kamuuza, ‘Mbwiga, kwingilaze hano bila vivalo va lusona lwa zengele?’ Ija imunhu kanyamala.
13Abaho, imndewa kawalongela watumigwa, ‘Mfungeni makono na magulu, abaho, mmwase kunze mdiziza. Ako kowa na kililo na kugegedula meno.’
14“Kwavija wanhu bwando wagonekigwe, ila wasaguligwe wadodo.”
15Mafalisayo waiting'hana hamoja na kumwikila zundo Yesu giladi wamnamate mzimbuli zake.
16Avo, wawatuma wanahina zao hamoja na wanhu wa Helode, wolonga, “Mkulufunzi! Tuvitanga kamba gweye kwa munhu ulibule uzenzeleganye na kowafundiza wanhu ikweli ya gaja goyolonda Mulungu, bila kudumba gowogelegeza wanhu wayagwe, kwavija hulola ukulu wa munhu yoyose.
17Tulongele, gweye kogesaze? Malagizo ga Musa gotogoza kuliha kodi ha Kaisali ama gogomesa?”
18Ila Yesu kazitanga ngelegeza zao zihile, kalonga, “Videlenya mweye! Habali mgeza kunikila vitega?
19Nilagusileni ihela ya kuliha kodi!” Na hewo wamgalila ihela,
20abaho, kawauza, “Kihanga kino na twaga dino va munhu yalihi?”
21Wamwidika, “Va Kaisali.” Avo Yesu kawalongela, “Mulonga goya, avo ga Kaisali mgweleleni Kaisali, na ga Mulungu mgweleleni Mulungu.”
22Viwahulike vino, wakanganya, avo wamuleka, wachola na zao.
23Zua didija Masadukayo, awo wolonga kamba haduhu mzuso, wamcholela Yesu, wamuuza,
24“Mkulufunzi! Musa katulongela kamba, kamba munhu yahadanganhika bila kuleka mwana, ndugu yake kolondigwa yamsole ija ikizuka giladi yamulelele mwana ndugu yake yadanganhike.
25Avo kukala na ndugu saba mmwanza wetu, waichanduso kasola mtwanzi, abaho, kadanganhika bila kulela nayo mwana, abaho, ikizuka kamulekela ndugu yake.
26Na ija waikabili gamulawilila gagaja, na waikadatu, na waja wose saba.
27Hakimambukizo, na ija imtwanzi kadanganhika.
28Avo mdizua da mzuso, imtwanzi ija kowa mtwanzi wa munhu yalihi? Kwavija wanhu wose saba wakala wamsolile.”
29Yesu kawedika kawalongela, “Mweye muhonyela! Kwavija hamzitangile Zinyandiko Zing'alile ama mhiko za Mulungu.
30Kwavija mdizua da mzuso, wanhu hawasola ama kusoligwa, ila wolinga kamba wasenga wa Mulungu wa kuulanga.
31Mmbuli ya mzuso wa wanhu wadanganhike, hamsomile Mzinyandiko Zing'alile kija kimulongeligwe na Mulungu?
32‘Nie iyo Mulungu wa Ablahamu, na Isaka, na Yakobo.’ Heyo iyo Mulungu wa wanhu wagima na siyo Mulungu wa wanhu wadanganhike.”
33Didale da wanhu vidihulike gano, wakanganya mafundo gake.
34Ila Mafalisayo viwahulike kamba Yesu kawavudaliza Masadukayo, waiting'hana hamoja.
35Na munhu imwe mmwanza wao, yakalile mfundiza Malagizo ga Musa, kamgeza mkumuuza,
36“Mkulufunzi, ndagizi ilihi ili ng'hulu Mmalagizo ga Musa?”
37Yesu kamwidika kamulongela, “ ‘Mnogele Mndewa Mulungu wako na moyo wako wose, na loho yako yose, na nzonzi zako zose.’
38Ino iyo ndagizi ili ng'hulu na iyo ya ichanduso.
39Na ino iyo ndagizi ya ikabili, ‘Mnogele munhu wa habehi nagwe kamba vuukiinogela mwenyego.’
40Malagizo gose ga Musa na mafundo ga wahokozi gotamanila ndagizi zino mbili.”
41Mafalisayo viwaiting'hane hamoja, Yesu kawauza,
42“Mweye moigelegezaze mbuli ya Kilisto? Iyo mwana wa munhu yalihi?” Wamwidika wamulongela, “Iyo Mwana wa Daudi.”
43Yesu kawauza, “Avo, vilihi Daudi kubitila mhiko za Loho wa Mulungu komkema Kilisto, ‘Mndewa’?
44Kwavija kalonga, ‘Mndewa kamulongela Mndewa wangu, “Kala kumkono wangu wa ukulume mbaka vondaniweke wadumuka zako hasi ya magulu gako.” ’
45Ihawa Daudi komkema Kilisto, ‘Mndewa,’ yodahikaze kuwa mwanage?”
46Haduhu munhu yadahile kumwidika mbuli yoyose, na kulawa zua dija haduhu munhu yagezile kumuuza mbuli yoyose.
