Mateus 18

Malanguso ga chitumagwa yalemwelile kumlechela myage

21 Hamba Petili kamlutila Yesu, kamuuza, "Mkulu, ndaze, mng’holozangu wone yanditile vibi, ndimleche lwa kalinga? Mala saba?" 22 Yesu nakamwidichila, "Silingulonga mala saba hela," Ila makumi saba mala saba. 23 Kwa vila undewa wa kilanga wangiwhana na mndewa yumwe yaganile kulola hisabu ya vitumagwa wa heye. 24 Kukagula lokwaluche, kegalilwa munhu yumwe yawele daigwa sendi elufu kumi. 25 Munhu ayo yalihela chinhu cha kuhilusa, ahyo mkulu wa heye nakagana yaguzigwe heye na mchewake na wanage na vinhu vyeng’ha vyoyalinavyo, kulipila lila deni. 26 Lelo ayo chitumagwa kafugama kumwando ha heye, nakalonga, "Umbeteze na heni ndolipa deni lyeng’ha." 27 Yula mkulu na kamonela isungu, kamlechela lila deni, kamlechela yalute.

28 "Ila ayo chitumagwa nakoka, kamfika yumwe wa vitumagwa wayage yawele na deni lya heye sendi denali miya imwe. Kamibata, kamdinga lumelo yolonga, ‘Ulipe choulingudaigwa!’ 29 Ayo chitumagwa myage kamfugamila, kamlanda, ‘Umbeteze nani ndokulipa!’ 30 Ila heye haviganile, leka kamuwika mchinweng’ho mbaka hoyolipa deni.

31 "Lelo vitumagwa wayage vyowawene mbuli ayo wawa na masinzo ng’hatu, nawaluta kumlonjela mkulu wa hewo mbuli ilawile. 32 Aho yula mkulu kamchema ayo chitumagwa, nakumlonjela, ‘Hegwe kwa chitumagwa wihile ng’hatu! Nakundanda nani ndikulechela ideni lya hegwe lyeng’ha. 33 Ndaze, haikuganile nagwe kumonela isungu chitumagwa muyago kota heni vyondikonele isungu?’ 34 Lelo ayo mkulu nakazudila lukami, nakamlavya ayo chitumagwa yagazigwe mbaka baho hoyolipa deni lyeng’ha."

35 Yesu nakasinda kulonga, "Mhaza wa heni yawele kilanga kowaditilani hihyo wone chila yumwe wa hemwe yolema kumlechela mng’holoze kwa nhumbula ya heye yeng’ha."
