31Hashi, pa wawili awa gaa yakatenditi gakafiriti tati gwakuwi?” Womberi wamwankula, “Uliya mwana gwa kwanja.” Su, Yesu kawagambira, “Nuwagambirani nakaka, watola kodi na wandiyandiya hawawalonguleri kugenda kwingira Muufalumi wa Mlungu.
32Toziya Yohani Mbatiza kiziti kwa mwenga kawalanguziya njira ya kulikala ya kumfiriziya Mlungu na mwenga mumjimira ndiri, kumbiti watola kodi na wandiyandiya wamjimiriti. Ata pamwoniti goseri aga, mwenga mlekiti ndiri vidoda vyamtenda na kumjimira yomberi.”
33Yesu kalonga, “Mpikaniri mfanu gumonga. Kuweriti na muntu yakaweriti na lirambu, ndo mweni yakalimiti mizyabibu, katindiziya lipamanda na kabawa linegu lya kukamira zyabibu na kanyawiti liringu lya kulolelera. Shakapanu lirambu lya mizyabibu lilii kaliyazimira kwa walimaji, mweni kagenda mwanja gwa kutali.
34Shipindi sha kubenanga pashisokiti, kawatumiti wantumintumi wakuwi kwa walimaji walii, su watoli semu yakuwi yawabeniti.
35Walimaji walii wawakamula wantumintumi wakuwi, yumu wamkomanga, yumonga wamlaga na yumonga wamlaga kwa kumgumanga mabuwi.
36Muntu ulii kawatuma kayi wantumintumi wamonga wavuwa, kuliku wa kwanja, walimaji walii watenda ntambu ira ilii.
37Upeleru kamtuma mwana gwakuwi kugenda kwa womberi pakalihola, ‘Nakaka hawampikiniri mwana gwangu.’
38Kumbiti walimaji walii pawamwoniti mwana gwakuwi, walitakuziyana weni kwa weni, ‘Ayu ndo muhala gwakuwi. Mwizi tumlagi na uhala wakuwi hauweri watwenga!’
39Su, wambata na wamlaviya kunja kulirambu lilii lya mizyabibu na wamlaga.”
40Yesu kawakosiya, “Vinu, mweni kana lirambu lya mizyabibu pakiza, hakawatendi hashi walimaji walii?”
41Womberi wamwakula, “Hakawalagi woseri yawatenditi vidoda na lirambu lilii hakawapanani walimaji wamonga, ndo weni hawamupanani semu yakuwi yawavibena kwa shipindi sha kubenanga.”
42Yesu kawagambira, “Hashi, hamwebetuli shawalembiti Mumalembu Managala? ‘Libuwi lyawalilemiti wanyawa numba, vinu liwera libuwi lyaliwera na mana nentu kuliku mabuwi goseri. Mtuwa ndo yakatenditi shitwatira ashi, shitwatira sha kulikangasha nentu kwa twenga!’ ”
43Yesu kongera kutakula, “Su nuwagambirani, Ufalumi wa Mlungu hawawawusiyi kwa mwenga na kuwapanani wantu yawalera mabwajubwaju gaherepa.
44Yoseri yakaguwa pa libuwi ali hakamegeki vipandi vipandi na libuwi palimguwira muntu yoseri, halimupekesi.”
45Watambika wakulu na Mafalisayu pawapikaniriti mifanu ya Yesu na wavimaniti kuwera yomberi kaweriti kankuwalonga weni.
