1 Yesu nakenjila mitumbwi nakahiluka kuluga kwa heye koyalingikala, kwa kuloka ilamba. 2 Aho wanhu na wamigalila munhu yaziliche lukuli yawasile mchinhanda. Yesu vyoyawene makundo ga hewo, nakamlonjela yula munhu yaziliche, “Mwanangu, wikangaze, kusilwa gehile gouditile.” 3 Wamwe wa walangusa wa malajizo ga Musa nawaluka kijesa, “Munhu ayu kangumkovula Nguluwi!”

4 Yesu nakavizela choni chowochijesa, kawalonjela, “Lekachoni mli na majesa gehile kuli mnhumbula za hemwe? 5 Lilikohi liwele ubewe ng'hatu. Kulonga, ‘Kusilwa gehile ga hegwe,’ Ama kulonga, ‘Wime ujende?’ 6 Lelo ndangugana mvizele kota Mwana wa Munhu kanao ludali muisi lwa kuwosela wanhu gehile ga hewo.” Aho nakamlonjela yula munhu yaziliche, “Winuche, uhole chinhanda cha hegwe, ulute kaye.” 7 Ayula munhu nayaziliche nakenuka, kaluta kaye. 8 Wanhu weng'ha wamemile hala lowagawene ago, nawabubuwala na kudumba, na wamtogola Nguluwi kwa ludali alo loyawapele wanhu.

9 Yesu nakoka ahala honhu, navyoyali yoluta kamona munhu yumwe itagwa lyake Matei, yekalise mchituka cha kodi. Yesu nakamlonjela, “Umbinze.” Na heye Matei kenuka, nakumuwinza.

10 Yesu loyali mng'handa yolya chilyo, wakongoza kodi na wawele na gehile nawoya kikala hamwe na walanguswa wa heye. 11 Mafalisayo wamwe na lowagawene ago, wawalonjela walanguswa wa heye, “Lekachoni mlangusa wa hemwe kangulya hamwe na wakongoza kodi na wadita gehile?”

12 Yesu nakawahulika, nakalonga, “Wanhu wawele wakomu hawalingugana mlaguzi hebu, ila awala wawele watamwa. 13 Lelo mkelanguse ulonzi awu, ‘Ndangugana isungu, haiwele nhambiko.’ Heni suyile kuwachema wanhu wala watanganiche, leka wawele na gehile.”

14 Hamba walanguswa wa Yohani Mbatiza wamuuza, “Hetwe twangwesela kulya na Mafalisayo wangwesela kulya mala nyinji, iwa ndaze walanguswa wa hegwe hambe wesele kulya?” 15 Yesu nakawedichila, “Ndaze, walalikwe kuli mnvina ya kuhesa wanguganigwa kulila kwa kulombocheza mkasano yawele baho hamwe na hewo? Hebu, Ena! Ila mhela wofika aho mkasano kokusigwa hali hewo, aho ndo wokwesela kulya.

16 “Haduhu munhu yahonelezaga nguwo nyale kuli nguwo ya katali. Mina chila chilaka chodeganga aila nguwo ya katali, na ahala hahonelezwe howa hagazi. 17 Na kuduhu munhu yowika divai ya lehano, kuli chizombe cha igozi cha katali. Howodita hino, achila chizombe cha igozi na divai yobohoka. Na achila chizombe chowa cha kutaga. Lelo iwaga hino, divai ya lehano, iwikagwa mli chizombe chinyale, na vyeng'ha vili, chizombe na divai vyowichigwa goya.”

18 Yesu loyali yolonga ago, chilongozi yumwe Myahudi nakoya, kenamiza nakulonga, “Mhinza wa heni kabagama sambi. Ila, ndangukulanda tuche ukamuwichile moko wa hegwe na heye kowa mkomu.” 19 Baho Yesu nakoka hamwe na walanguswa wa heye kamuwinza.

20 Mdala yumwe, nayali yotamika kulawa danda katali ng'hatu, mihela kumi na mili, nakamuwinza Yesu kumbele, nakadoliza lupembo lwa nguwo ya Yesu. 21 Nakadita ahyo kwa vila nakejesa mnhumbula. “Londidoliza hela nguwo ya heye, ndowa mkomu.” 22 Yesu kahinduka nakamona, nakamlonjela, “Mhinza wikangaze! Makundo ga hegwe gakulohola.” Mamo ayo kaloholigwa bahala.

23 Hamba Yesu na kenjila mng'handa ya yula chilongozi, loyawawene wapemba mluli mchililo na chilundo cha wanhu wolila na kulombocheza, 24 Kawalonjela, “Weng'ha mlawe kunze, mhinza ayu hafile, kawasa hela.” Na hewo nawamseka. 25 Baho, chilundo cha wanhu lochilawile kunze, Yesu kenjila mng'handa, kamibata ayo mhinza moko, na heye kema. 26 Mbuli ayo na yenela kweng'ha mu isi ila yeng'ha.
