1 Patapita masiku pangʼono, Yesu atalowanso mu Kaperenawo, zinamveka kuti wabwera ali mʼnyumba. 2 Choncho anthu ambiri anasonkhana kotero kuti panalibenso malo, ngakhale ndi pa khomo pomwe, ndipo Iye anawalalikira mawu. 3 Amuna anayi anabwera, atanyamula munthu wofa ziwalo. 4 Popeza sakanatha kufika naye kwa Yesu chifukwa cha gulu la anthu, anasasula denga chapamwamba pamene panali Yesu, ndipo atabowoleza, anatsitsa mphasa yomwe munthu wofa ziwaloyo anagonapo. 5 Yesu ataona chikhulupiriro chawo, anati kwa wofa ziwaloyo, “Mwana, machimo ako akhululukidwa.”

6 Ndipo ena mwa aphunzitsi amalamulo anakhala pansi pomwepo, namaganiza mʼmitima mwawo kuti, 7 “Nʼchifukwa chiyani munthuyu ayankhula chotere? Iye akuchitira mwano Mulungu! Ndani angakhululukire munthu machimo kupatula Mulungu yekha?”

8 Nthawi yomweyo Yesu anadziwa mu mzimu wake kuti izi ndi zimene ankaganiza mʼmitima yawo, ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani mukuganiza zinthu izi? 9 Chapafupi nʼchiyani; kunena kwa wofa ziwaloyu kuti, ‘Machimo ako akhululukidwa,’ kapena kuti, ‘Imirira, tenga mphasa yako ndipo yenda?’ 10 Koma kuti mudziwe kuti Mwana wa Munthu ali ndi ulamuliro pa dziko lapansi wokhululukira machimo.” Anati kwa wofa ziwaloyo, 11 “Ndikuwuza iwe, imirira, tenga mphasa yako ndipo pita kwanu.” 12 Anayimirira, nanyamula mphasa yake natuluka onse akumuona. Izi zinadabwitsa aliyense ndipo anayamika Mulungu nati, “Sitinaonepo zinthu ngati izi!”

13 Yesu anatulukanso napita kumbali ya nyanja. Gulu lalikulu la anthu linabwera kwa Iye, ndipo anayamba kuliphunzitsa. 14 Pamene ankayendabe, anaona Levi mwana wa Alufeyo atakhala mʼnyumba ya msonkho. Yesu anamuwuza kuti, “Tsate Ine.” Ndipo Levi anayimirira namutsata Iye.

15 Yesu atakalandira chakudya ku nyumba kwa Levi, amisonkho ambiri ndi “ochimwa” ankadya naye pamodzi ndi ophunzira ake, pakuti anali ambiri amene anamutsatira. 16 Pamene aphunzitsi amalamulo a Afarisi anamuona akudya ndi “ochimwa” ndi amisonkho, anafunsa ophunzira ake kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani amadya ndi olandira msonkho ndi ochimwa?”

17 Yesu atamva zimenezi, anawawuza kuti, “Anthu amene ali bwino safuna singʼanga koma odwala. Ine sindinabwere kudzayitana olungama, koma ochimwa.”

18 Ndipo ophunzira a Yohane ndi a Afarisi amasala kudya. Anthu ena anabwera kwa Yesu namufunsa kuti, “Zitheka bwanji kuti ophunzira a Yohane ndi ophunzira a Afarisi amasala kudya, koma anu satero?”

19 Yesu anayankha nati, “Kodi alendo a mkwati angasale kudya bwanji pamene iye ali nawo pamodzi? Iwo sangatero, pamene iye ali nawo pamodzi. 20 Koma nthawi idzafika pamene mkwati adzachotsedwa pakati pawo, ndipo pa tsiku limenelo adzasala kudya.

21 “Palibe amene amasokerera chigamba chatsopano pa chovala chakale. Ngati atatero, chigamba chatsopanocho chidzazomola chovala chakalecho, kukulitsa chibowocho. 22 Ndipo palibe amene amathira vinyo watsopano mʼmatumba akale a vinyo. Ngati atatero, vinyo watsopanoyo adzaphulitsa matumba a vinyo ndipo vinyoyo pamodzi ndi matumbawo zidzawonongeka. Ayi, satero, amathira vinyo watsopano mʼmatumba atsopanonso.”

23 Tsiku lina la Sabata, Yesu amadutsa pakati pa minda ya tirigu, ndipo ophunzira ake amayenda naye limodzi, nayamba kubudula ngala za tiriguyo. 24 Afarisi anati kwa Iye, “Taonani, chifukwa chiyani akuchita chosaloledwa ndi lamulo pa Sabata?”

25 Iye anayankha kuti, “Kodi simunawerenge zimene Davide anachita pamene iye ndi anzake anali osowa ndi anamva njala? 26 Pa nthawi ya Abiatara mkulu wa ansembe, iye analowa mʼnyumba ya Mulungu ndi kudya buledi wopatulika amene amaloledwa kuti adye ndi ansembe okha. Ndipo anapereka wina kwa anzake.”

27 Pamenepo anawawuza kuti, “Sabata linapangidwira munthu, osati munthu kupangidwira Sabata. 28 Choncho Mwana wa Munthu ali Ambuye ngakhale wa Sabata.”
