1 “Undewa we Imulungu weghala ne imunu yane mghunda, iyalawile lupfilipfili kaghenda kubama iwanu wakasang'ane mne mghunda ghwake. 2 Katoghola kuwaliha sendi tsa litsuwa limwe, kuya kawaghala mne mghunda ghwake. 3 Masaa madatu hambele koka keli, kawona iwanu wangi wema mne ghulilo wahela sang'ano. 4 Kawalongela, ‘Mwemwe mwose mghende mne mghunda ghwangu mkasang'ane, nitsowaliha pfinoghile.’ 5 Nawo waghenda. Kuya kaghenda keli saa sita na saa tisa, katenda pfipfila. 6 Haipfikile saa kumi na imwe koka keli, kawona iwanu wangi wema hane ghulilo, kawaghutsa, ‘Ebali mwimile hano misi yose bila sang'ano?’ 7 Iwanu awo wamwidika, ‘Kwaapfila haduhu imunu iyatwing'ile sang'ano.’ Kawalongela, ‘Namwe pfipfila mghende mkasang'ane mne mghunda ghwangu.’

8 “Nemihe haipfikile, imunu yane mghunda kamlongela mwimilitsi wake, ‘Uwakeme iwanu iwasang'ane, uwalihe sendi tsawo, wanduse na wautsighilo kuya awala iwalongole.’ 9 Iwanu iwasang'ane kwandusila saa kumi na imwe hawatsile, chila munu kabokela malilho gha litsuwa limwe. 10 Apfo awala iwalongole kusang'ana hawatsile, tsawalolela kubokela sendi nyingi, lekeni chila munu kabokela dinali imwe. 11 Hawabokele maliho ghawo, wandusa kumsing'inikila ayula yane mghunda. 12 Walonga, ‘Iwanu wano iwatsile kusang'ana nemihe, wasang'ana kwa saa limwe liliheka, lekeni kuwaliha ka pfautulihe twetwe itusang'ane misi yose mlutsua.’

13 “Naye kamwidika yumwe wawo, ‘Sale yangu, sikubunzile bae. Apfi ghweghwe ng'utoghole kusang'ana kwa malilho gha litsuwa limwe? 14 Lelo usole ichili chako uke. Nene nobama kumwing'a ayula wa utsighilo ka pfanikwing'ile ghweghwe. 15 Angu ng'apfinoghile bae nene kutenda achila chanibama kwa sendi tsangu mwenyegho? Au kwakona chepfu kwaapfila nene namluso?’ ”

16 Kuya Yesu kamalitsa kwa ukulonga, “Apfo, wa utsighilo katsakuwa wa mwanduso, na ayula wamwanduso katsakuwa wautsighilo.”

Ipinga ayo kamwidika, “Chondechonde, ulaghitse wanangu wano weli wakale ubali wako wa kujilo na wa kumoso mne undewa wako.”

22 Yesu kawalongela, “Ng'ammanyile bae achila chamlomba. Angu mwodaha kunwela ichikombe chanitsonwela nene?”

Wamwidika, “Twodaha.”

23 Yesu kawalongela, “Mtsonwela ghendo ichikombe changu, lekeni kukala kumoso au kukala kujilo, si sang'ano yangu bae. Lekeni chinu acho watsakwing'ighwa awala iwasaghulighwe na Aba wangu.”
