18 Toera kupangiza kuti iwo asafunika kucita phembero ndzidzi onsene nee kuneta, Yezu aapanga nsangani ubodzi,+
2 mbalonga: “Mu nzinda unango mukhali nyakutonga miseru mʼbodzi wakuti nee akhagopa Mulungu, pontho nee akhalemedza anthu.
3 Mu nzinda unoyu mukhalimbo nzice mʼbodzi wakuti akhaenda kazinji kene kuna iye, mbalonga: ‘Tongani mwakulungama nseru uli na ine na munthu adasumirana na ine.’
4 Pakutoma nyakutonga nee akhafuna, mbwenye mukupita kwa ndzidzi iye alonga ekhene: ‘Maseze nee ndisagopa Mulungu, pontho nee ndisalemedza munthu,
5 mbwenye nakuti nzice uyu asapitiriza kundinentsa, ndinacita pyonsene toera iye acitirwe ulungami, natenepa nee anabwera pontho kudzandinyangula na phembo yace.’”+
6 Penepo Mbuya alonga: “Mwabva pidalonga nyakutonga miseru unoyu ngakhale kuti iye nee ndi wakulungama?
7 Maseze Mulungu asapangiza kupirira kwace kuna anthu ace adasankhulwa akuti asalira kuna iye masiku na masikati,+ kodi iye nee anacita pyonsene toera iwo acitirwe ulungami?+
8 Ine ndinakupangani kuti iye anaacitira ulungami mwakucimbiza kakamwe. Mphapo Mwana wa munthu angafika, anadzagumanadi anthu akuti ali na cikhulupiro* pa dziko yapantsi?”
9 Iye alongambo nsangani uyu kuna anango akhanyerezera kuti iwo ndi akulungama mbaona andzawo ninga anthu akusowa basa:
10 “Amuna awiri aenda kacita phembero mu templo, mʼbodzi akhali Nfarisi, unango akhali nyakulipisa misonkho.
11 Nfarisi alimira mbatoma kuphembera mbalonga ekhene muntima mwace: ‘Mulungu wanga, ndisapereka takhuta kuna imwe thangwi ndasiyana na anthu anango onsene akuti ndi mambava, akukhonda kulungama, aupombo peno ninga nyakulipisa misonkho uyu.
12 Ndisacita jejuu kawiri pa sumana; ndisapereka cacikhumi ca pinthu pyonsene pinawina ine.’+
13 Mbwenye nyakulipisa misonkho alimira kutali, iye akhacimwana kuyangʼana kudzulu, mbwenye akhamenya paditi* pace, mbalonga: ‘Mulungu wanga, ndibverenimbo ntsisi* ine nyakudawa.’+
14 Ine ndinakupangani kuti pikhabuluka mamuna unoyu mu templo, akhali wakulungama kakamwe pamaso pa Mulungu kupiringana Nfarisi.+ Thangwi ule anadzikuza anadzacepeswa, mbwenye ule anacepeseka anadzakuzwa.”+
15 Penepo anthu akhabweresambo anawo angʼono kuna Yezu toera iye aapase nkhombo.* Anyakupfundzace pidaona iwo pyenepi atoma kusandika anthu anewa.+
16 Mbwenye Yezu acemera anangʼono, mbalonga: “Siyani anangʼono abwere kuna ine; lekani kuakhondesa, thangwi Umambo wa Mulungu ndi wa anthu ninga iwo.+
17 Mwandimomwene, ine ndinakupangani kuti ule anakhonda kutawira Umambo wa Mulungu ninga mwanangʼono, cipo anadzapitamo.”+
18 Ntongi mʼbodzi ambvundza: “Mpfundzisi Wadidi, ndisafunika kucitanji toera ndigumane umaso wakukhonda mala?”+
19 Yezu antawira: “Thangwi yanji usandicemera wadidi? Nkhabepo unango wadidi kusiyapo Mulungu.+
20 Iwe usadziwa matongero awa: ‘Leka kucita upombo,+ leka kupha munthu,+ leka kuba,+ leka kupereka umboni wauthambi,+ lemedza pai wako na mai wako.’”+
21 Penepo iye atawira: “Ine ndisabvera matongero anewa onsene kutomera mu uwana wanga.”
22 Pidabva iye pyenepi, Yezu ampanga: “Casala cinthu cibodzi toera ucicite: Gulisa pinthu pyako pyonsene mbupereka kobiri ineyi kuna anyakutcerenga, natenepa unadzakhala na mpfuma kudzulu, buluka penepo bwera ukhale nyakupfundza wanga.”+
23 Pidabva iye pyenepi, atsukwala kakamwe, thangwi iye akhali wakupfuma kakamwe.+
24 Yezu amuyangʼana mbalonga: “Pinadzakhala pyakunentsa kakamwe kuti anthu akupfuma* apite mu Umambo wa Mulungu!+
25 Mphyakukhonda nentsa kakamwe kamelo kupita na pa benga ya ntsingano, kupiringana munthu wakupfuma kupita mu Umambo wa Mulungu.”+
26 Ale adabva pyenepi alonga: “Khala ndi tenepo, mbani anafuna kupulumuswa?”+
27 Yezu alonga: “Pinthu pinacimwanika kuna anthu, kuna Mulungu pisakwanisika.”+
28 Mbwenye Pedhru alonga: “Onani, ife tasiya pinthu pyathu pyonsene mbatikutowerani.”+
29 Yezu aatawira: “Mwandimomwene ine ndinakupangani kuti munthu adasiya nyumba yace, nkazace, abale ace, anyakubalace peno anace thangwi ya Umambo wa Mulungu,+
30 anadzatambira pinthu pizinji kakamwe mu ndzidzi uno, pontho ntsogolo anadzagumana umaso wakukhonda mala.”+
31 Buluka penepo Yezu aenda pakhundu na apostolo ace 12 mbaapanga: “Bveserani, ife tiri kuenda ku Yerusalemu, pinthu pyonsene pidalembwa na aprofeta thangwi ya Mwana wa munthu pinadzakwanirisika.*+
32 Iye anadzaperekwa kuna anthu a madzindza anango,+ iwo anadzansingirira,+ anadzantikana mbamʼphulira mata.+
33 Angamala kunkwapula, iwo anamupha,+ mbwenye pa ntsiku yacitatu, iye anadzalamuswa muli akufa.”+
34 Mbwenye apostolo nee abvesesa pinthu pidalonga iye, thangwi mabvekero a mafala anewa akhali akubisika kwa iwo.
35 Pikhafika iye cifupi na Yeriko, boliboli mʼbodzi akhali nawa nʼkhundu mwa nseu mbakaphemba-phemba.+
36 Mbwenye pidabva iye mwinji wa anthu ukhapita na njira, asaka kudziwa kuti ninji pikhacitika.
37 Anthu ampanga: “Yezu wa ku Nazareti ali kupita!”
38 Penepo iye akhuwa: “Yezu, Mwana wa Dhavidhi, ndibverenimbo ntsisi!”
39 Anthu akhali patsogolo pa mwinji atoma kunsandika mbampanga toera amatame, mbwenye iye apitiriza kukhuwa kakamwe: “Mwana wa Dhavidhi, ndibverenimbo ntsisi!”
40 Yezu alimira mbaphemba toera abwereswe. Pidafika iye cifupi, Yezu ambvundza:
41 “Usafuna ndicitenji kuna iwe?” Iye atawira: “Mbuya, ndiphedzeni toera ndikwanise pontho kuona.”
42 Natenepa Yezu ampanga: “Toma pontho kuona. Cikhulupiro cako cakuwangisa.”+
43 Penepo pene iye atoma pontho kuona, natenepa atoma kutowera Yezu+ mbakasimba Mulungu. Pontho anthu onsene pidaona iwo pyenepi, asimba Mulungu.+
