1 Ayesu bhakakweela mu mtumbwi, na bhakajomboka litanda na kuhika mu chilambo chabhenji. 2 Ngapena bhandu bhajingi ngabhanneta mundu jwaapolite mmele goa, bhabhagonikwe nnani ja njeega. Ayesu pabhakabhona kuhobhalela kwabhenji, nga akaalobholela jonijola mundu jwaapolite, “Mwanangu nchipee ntima! Mabohu ginu gatekulekelelwa.”
3 Bhandu bhangi bha bhenibhala bhabhamanyanga malagilo ga Amusa bhakajemekanga konyananga akaachinabhene, “Hojo mundu atekwaaponja Annoongo!”
4 Ayesu akagamanya chibhatenda kuganikia, akaakonyanga, “Kwaniki ntendanga kuganikia mabohu mu mitima jinunji? 5 Bholi, nga niki chichibhile changalimba, kulobhola, ‘Ntekulekelelwa mabohu ginu’ au kulobhola, ‘Nnyeme nnyaule?’ ” 6 Nambo, mbala muimanyange yakubhehe amwana bha amundu bhakombola kwaalekelela bhandu mabhou gabhe pamba pachilambo. Penapo akaalobholela jonojwe mundu jwapolite mmele, “Nnyimuke ntole njeega chinu, nnyaule kwaachinu.”
7 Jonojwe mundu jwaapolite mmele bhakajimuka, na bhakajaula kwaachabhe. 8 Bhandu bhoa mu lilubhalo lyela pabhakagalola genago bhakajogopanga, bhakaalumbalila Annoongo bhabhaapekie bhandu machili ga henela.
9 Ayesu bhakabhoka penapo, na pabhakajaula, bhakaabhona amundu bhamo bhakemitwa Amatayo, bhatamite panyuumba ja kutochela kodi, Ayesu bhakaalobholela, “Ngagule nenga.”
10 Ayesu pabhakibha kwaachabhe Amatayo kulyee chakulya, bhakutochanga kodi bhajingi na akaabohu bhakahikanga bhakatama na kulyee nabho na bhabhachijigana bhabhe. 11 Mafalisayo pabhakabhona genago, bhakaakonyanga bhabhachijigana bhabhe, “Kwaniki bhannyigana bhinu bhalyee pamo na bhandu bhabhabhilinge na mabohu?”
12 Ayesu pabhakajoha genago, bhakaalobholelanga, “Bhandu bhanga itamwa bhaapalanga hopo ang'anga, nambo bhenibhala akaatamwa nga bhaapala ang'anga. 13 Bahi, nnyaulange nkachijigane maana ga malobhe aga, ‘Mbala kia, ngabha mbeeko,’ kwa maana nangahika kwaakemanga bhandu bhabhilinge bhammbone, nambo bhabhilinge na mabhou.”
14 Penapo bhabhajichigana bha Ayohana ambatichaji bhakaajabhulila Ayesu, bhakaakonya, “Tweenga na Mafalisayo tutenda kutabha mala jijingi, kwa niki bhabhachijigana bhinu ngatabha?”
15 Ayesu bhakaajangulanga, “Bholi, akaageni bhabhalaalikwe ku ulombela bhapakuhumalanga na kutabha pabhabhee pamo na hangwana bha ulombela? Nga henela! Nambo muda gupakuhika hangwana bha ulombela chibhapakubhokekwa nkati jabhenji, gono muda nga pabhapakutabhanga.”
16 “Bhandu ngatotela chibhamba cha ngobho jiyono mu ngobho ja lolo. Handa bhatenditinge henela, jenejo ngobho ja lolo jipakujonjokeka lipobhole, na jenejo ngobho jipakuhalibika muno. 17 Wala bhandu ngalekelanga divai jiyono mu mihuko jijilalite jijitotitwe na mambendela ga ngondolo. Handa bhatenditinge henela, divai hejo hipakuipapulana yeneyo mihuko jenejo, na divai jipakujitika na mihuko jipakupapuka. Divai jiyono jilekelwa mu mihuko miyono na henela divai na mihuko kubhee maha!”
18 Ayesu pabhatendita kulobhola genago, akolo bhamo Annyahudi bhakahika, bhakaatindibhalila majugwa na kulobhola, “Amwali bhangu bhatekujomoka nangocheni. Nambo nhike nkaabhekele lubhoko lwinu na bhenabho bhapakulama.”
19 Ayesu bhakajimuka na kujaula pamo na bhabhachijigana bhabhe bhakaakagula.
20 Na pabhatendita kujaula haikege bhamo, atamwa ncholocholo kwa yaaka komi na jibhele, bhakaakagula Ayesu kuyeto, bhakamula mbendo ja ngobho jabhe. 21 Kwakubhee bhakachilobholela muntima gwabhe, “Handa ngamwile tu ngobho jabhe, mbakulama.”
22 Ngapena Ayesu bhakatendebhuka bhakaabhona haikege, bhakaalobholela, “Amwali, nchipekee ntima! Kuhobhalela kwinu kutekunlamia.” Haikege bhenabho bhakalama popopo.
23 Ngapena Ayesu pabhakahika kwaachakwe bhenibhala akolo. Na bhakaabhona bhandu bhagomba hipenga ya nguto na kuguta muno, 24 bhakaalobholela, “Mmokange pamba! Amwali abha bhangawee, bhatekugoloka tu.” Nambo bhandu bhakaaheka. 25 Bahi, lilubhalo lya bhandu pabhakaabhoanga panja, Ayesu bhakajingila nkati, bhakaakamula lubhoko bhena amwali, na bhenabho bhakajema. 26 Bhandu bhoa bha chilambo echo bhakajoanga ngani hejo.
28 Ayesu pabhakajingila mu nyuumba, bhangalola bhabhele bhakaajendelela Ayesu na bhakaakonya, “Bholi, nhobhalelanga kubhehe nenga ndenda kombola kunnamianga?”
29 Penapo Ayesu bhakakwahanga miho gabhenji, bhakalobhola, “Na hibhee kwaachinunji handa chinhobhalilinge.” 30 Miho gabhenji ngagakajogoka kulola. Na bhenabho Ayesu bhakaakanikia muno, “Nkotokwaalobholelanga amundu bhoabhala chilebhe chenjeni.” 31 Nambo bhenaangota bhakabhokanga, bhakajaula kutandahaa ngani ya Ayesu mu chilambo chela choa.
34 Nambo Mafalisayo bhakalobhola, “Amundu abha bhatenda kugabhoa mahoka kwa machili ga akolongwa bha mahoka.”
