1 Yesu ahopacera woolumacera ni malikanihero: Ahaawo ntthu aanle imatta yo vinyu, ahopophela nkuco, ahothipa nlitti no waameliya ivinyu ni ahoteka ipwaro. Wahoolo ahaahiyera ananteko arwaka ikwaha awe yoottayi. 2 Ukati woohephiya, ahonruma nrumeyi awe wiira aakhele nuusu no cowiima co mmattani. 3 Ale nanso, yahommara, yahomwaatta nuunturusela uttuli wohiitthu. 4 Ni ahonruma nrumeyi nkina. Ni uyo tho yahompwesa muru ni yahontarawa venci. 5 Ahonruma nkina, ni ule yahomwiiva. Ahaaruma akina enci, na ale yahaatta ni akina weeva. 6 Nahalenle nlelo mwanawe oofentiya, umwisoni ahonruma ule, eeraka: Anaahala unlemeliha mwanaka. 7 Nanso, ananteko yaheerelana ayayoru: Ule phinkokhalana imatta ila! Nrwee, nimwiive, ni imatta inakhala yawihu. 8 Yahommara ni yahomwiiva, nuunrihela nceresere imatta. 9 Mwaneene imatta ile nohala upankani? Nahala uturuwa ni weeva ananteko ayo, ni wahoolo, naahala waavaha imatta ananteko akina. 10 Khansomile cowantikhiya cittakattifu?

13 Wahoolo yahonrumihela mafarisi ni maherotiyano akina wiira ammare mmoolumoni. 14 Amwaattameryaka yahomwiirela: Mwalimu, nihocuwela wiira uri nlopwana eekhweeli, khaawo nonramelaa, nlattu khumweha makhalelo a ntthu, nanso unawiitthuciha iphiro ya Nluku, toko cinkhalaya yeekhweeli. Unihimerye, iri itthu yooloka atthuna yoohiloka unvaha nsoko Sesari? Ninvahe atthuna nihinvahe? 15 Yesu acuwelaka wototha waya, ahaakhula: Nnokittehacerani? Nkiwiihere nikopiri, koone. 16 Yahomwiihera ni ahaakoha: Yawani ila yocaphariya, ni yowantikhiya ila? Yahaakhula: Ya Sesari. 17 Yesu aheerela: Mumvahe Sesari itthu ya Sesari, ni Nluku itthu ya Nluku. Ni yahotikhinaca venci.

18 Wahoolo yahowa masatuseu, ale aneera khuwo wunwelela wa atthu ookhwa, yahomwaattamerya, ni yahonkoha Yesu: 19 Mwalimu, Musa honantikhela wiira ntthu ankhwelaka munnawe, pwahiyaka amwaarawe woohikhalana asaana, nhimaawe nolamuliya unthela nthiyana oohinnya wiira ahiye ipyo ya munnawe.*Dt 25.5 20 Vano yahaawo asunna saapa, ni oopacera uyo ahonthela ni ahokhwa woohahiya asaana. 21 Oonayeeli ahonthela nthiyana ahinye, ni uyo ahokhwa woohahiya asaana, ni ooneeraru uyo waheerannyaa ciicammo, 22 ni othene saapa yahokhwa woohahiya asaana. Wiimaleloni waya nthiyana uyo ahokhwa. 23 Vanhala wunweleliya, nthiyana nohala ukhala amwaara awani, nlattu asilopwana saapa ale yahonthela nthiyana ule? 24 Yesu ahaakhula: Nyu nnawithepyaca nlattu woohicuwela cowantikhiya cittakattifu hata ikuru ca Nluku. 25 Phimaana wanhalaya wunwelela mwaatthu ookhwa, khuwo utheliya, mena khuwo uthelana, nanso ammokhala toko ancelo o wirimu. 26 Nanso itthu inaciya mowunwelelani mwaatthu ookhwa, khansomile ikitapu ya Musa, itthu yeeranele ni nikukhu napharela woohivya, toko Nluku caamuulumacenryawe eeraka:

28 Ahomwaattamerya mayowantikha eewile avanyihanaka, ni oonaka wiira Yesu aakhunle ratta, ahonkoha: Phinni nlamulo noopacera o malamuloni othene? 29 Yesu ahaakhula: Noopacera phi nna:

35 Eetthucihaka Mpani mwa Nluku, Yesu ahokoha: Mayowantikha ahimyaka cani wiira Mesiya phiri mwanawe Taviti? 36 Taviti mwaneene, athoonyeriyaka ni Nnepa Nttakattifu, heera:

38 Wowiitthuciha, Yesu anawiira: Nkhale miitho, mwisunke ni mayowantikha unacivela uthoonyera coowara coorekama nuukohiya isalama mmapuwani; 39 wonkoma mapuro uhoolo nnsinakokani ni mapuro anliya isukuhuulu. 40 Anawalyacera anankwele yoothereryaka ni iswali coottaliva. Ala anowowaakhela ihukhumu yootepa.

41 Nonkomile nipuro naheliya coovelela yawehaka atthu yahela nsurukhu nkasani mwe. Mathaciri menci yanahela nsurukhu mwinci. 42 Ahowa nthiyana nankwele oothwenya, ahelaka makopiri meli ooyevaca, manaaya nikupatta nonecese. 43 Eehanaka owiitthuca awe, Yesu ahaahimerya: Khweeli kinawuhimeryani wiira nthiyana ula nankhwele oothwenya hohela woopwaha atthu othene ahenle nkasani yo nhakhu. 44 Nlattu, othene yahenle yohalahala muthacirini mwaya, nanso nthiyana oothwenya ahenle yothene yarinawe, ni khahalanne itthu hata yankani.
