1 Kabili Yesu ali kubomfye milumbe pa kulanda ku bantu ati, 2 "Ubufumu bwa mwiulu bwakuba nge mfumu imo iyapekanishishe umwana wakwe umwalalume umutebeto wa bwinga. 3 Yalitumine ababomfi pa kwebati bebeko abalalikwe ku mutebeto ati bese nomba nabo balikene ukwisa. 4 Ekyo yatumine ababomfi bambi ne ntumi, ‘Umutebeto ndipekenye, ing'ombe nasho shilipaiwe, iseni bonse ku bwinga pantu fyonse epo fili.’ 5 Nomba abalalikwe tababikileko mano, kila muntu asupike fye inkito yakwe, umbi aile kwi bala kyakwe no munakwe naye aile ku bukwebo bwakwe. 6 Bambi nabo balikete balya basha, ukubapumaula no kubepaya. 7 Imfumu ya lifulilwe sana epakutumako ifita ifyaishile kwipaya filya fipondo no kufyokela umusumba. 8 Elo imfumu yalyebele na basha ati, ‘Umutebeto wa bwinga ulipekanishiwe, nomba abalalikilwe tabalingile. 9 Kabuyeni fye nomba mu misebo no kuya kulalika bonse mukosangamo.’ 10 Na balya babomfi epakuya mu misebo, ukuya kusendamo abantu bonse baile kusangamo, ababubi na babune ne nga'anda ya bwinga epakwisula sululu.

11 "Ulo imfumu yaingilemo pa kubona abeni, ya bwenemo muntu umo uutafwele ilaya lya bwinga. 12 Epakumwipushati, ‘Kibusa, wasangwa shani muno ukwakubulwa ilaya lya bwinga?’ Nomba ulya muntu alifye kelele. 13 Elo imfumu yaebele abasha ati, ‘Mukakeni amaboko na molu no ku mupoosa panse mu mfinshi, kweko ko abantu bakule kulila no kusumanya meno.’"

14 "Pantu bengi bakuutwa, nomba abasalwa banini."

15 Elo Abafalise ba pandishenye amano pa fyo bangesha Yesu mufipusho pa ku mufwailisha. 16 Elo batumineko abasambi babo na bena Helodi kuli Yesu. Balimwipwishe ati, "We kafundisha, twalishibati ulanda ikishika. Usambilisha ikine pa ku fwaya kwakwa Lesa pa bantu, kabili tautiina muntu nangu umo, ubona bonse ukwakubula akapatulula. 17 Twebeko itontonkanyo lyobe. Bushe kyansambu ukulekulipila umusoko kuli Kaisale, kateeka wa ki Loma nangula tefyo?"

18 Yesu pa kwishiba amapinge yabo ayabubi alibasukile ati, "Mwe babumbimunda mwe! Nindo mukofwaila ukungesha? 19 Leteni indalama ya musonko." Nabo epa kumuletela. 20 Yesu epakubepushati, "Kinso ne kikope fyakwa nani filipo?"

21 Nabo balimwasukile ati, "Kaisale." Elo Yesu abebele ati, "Kanshi mulekupeela kaisale ifyakwa Kaisale, kabili mulekupeela Lesa ifyakwa Lesa."

22 Pa kumfwe fyo balipapile sana, epakumusha.

23 Pa bushiku bulya bwine Abasaduke abatasumine ati kukaba ukushikuka kwa bakufwa balishile ne kipusho kuli Yesu 24 ati, "We Kafundisha, Mose alitwebele ati, Umwalalume ngafwa ukwakubula ukufyalapo abana, wabo ali no kupyana ulya mwanakashi pa kuti amufyalileko abana. 25 Nomba palipo bawabo kine lubali. Umukulubantu alyupile mpaka afwa ukwakubula uku kwatapo abana, epakushiila wabo umukashi. 26 Uwa kibili, uwakitatu mpaka no wa kulenga kine lubali bonse balifwile. 27 Kulipelwepelwe umwanakashi naye afwa. 28 Nomba pa kushikuka kwa bakufwa akesa kubo mukashi wakwa nani apo bonse balimupilepo?"

29 Yesu alibasukile ati, "Muli bafilubo pantu tamwishibile amalembo nangula maka yakwa Lesa. 30 Pantu ulo abakufwa bakashikuka, takwakabepo kuupa nangu kuupwa, bakesa kuba kubati ni bamalaika ba mwiulu. 31 Kabili pa mulandu wa kushikuka kwa bakufwa bushe tamwabelengapo palya Lesa aebele ati, 32 ‘Ni nebo Lesa wakwa Ablahamu, Lesa wakwa Isaki, Lesa wakwa Yakobo.’ Ekyo ni Lesa wa bamweo te wa bakufwa."

33 Amabumba ya bantu pa kumfwe fyo abasambilishe, balipapile.

34 Ulo Abafalise baumfwile ati Yesu atalalika Abasaduke, balikolongene pamo. 35 Elo umunabo umo, kafundisha wa mafunde alimwipwishe ikipusho pa kumwesha ati, 36 "We kafundisha, kipope ndo ilyakukila pa mafunde yonse?"

37 Yesu alimwasukile ati, "Ulekutemwa Shikulu Lesa obe no mutima obe onse, no mweo obe onse, na mano yobe yonse. 38 Iki ekipope kyakubalilapo ikya kilapo pali fyonse. 39 Nelya kulenga bubili lya kwebati, ‘Ulekutemwa umunobe nga wemwine.’ 40 Amafunde yakwa Mose yonse pamo na masambilisho ya bakasesema ya limbikila pali aya yabili."

41 Ulo Abafalise bambi bakolongene, Yesu alibepwishe ati, 42 "Bushe mutontonkanyapo indo pali Messia? Bushe ni mwanna nani?" Nabo balimwasukile ati, "Ni mwana Davidi."

43 Yesu epakubepusha kabili ati, "Bushe nindo Davidi uwatungulwilwe na Mupashi amukuutile ati, ‘Shikulu.’ Apo Davidi wine alimukuutile ati,

44 "Shikulu aebele Imfumu yangi ati,

Wikale ku kwa mulyo kwangi

mpakapo nkabikila abalwani bobe panshi ya makasa yobe.

45 "Davidi nga mukuutile ‘Shikulu’, kuti kabili Messia aisakuba umwana wakwa Davidi?"

46 Tapalipo nelo umo uwa mwasukilepo, kabili ukufuma pali bulya bushiku, tapalipo nangu umo uwa mwipwishepo amepusho ayali yonse.
