1 Kwakayetika kuti banhu bemanikidza kuti bawhe dama leNdzimu, waka alime pagan'wa gulugulu leGenesareti. 2 Wakabona zwikepe zwibili zwilimile pagan'wa, babhati bewhobe baka babhuda muzwili bengudza njanga* dzabo. 3 Wakangina mutjimwe kepe tjakatjili tjaSimoni, akawunkumbila kuti atjisundile mukati nyana muvula, akagala pasi akadiya banhu ali mukepe.

4 Wakati apedza lebeleka akati kuna Simoni, "Nginani pakadzika mujitise njanga dzenyu mubhate whobe."

5 Simoni wakahandula eti, "He, tahinga zwakabangalala busiku gose, atina kene tjatabhata, koga nentha yekuti ndimwi maleba totjowhojitisa njanga." 6 Bakati bata sayikoko bakabhata whobe njinji kwazo, njanga dzabo dzaka dzopaluka, 7 bakadana bamwe babo, baka bali kuzwimwe zwikepe, kuti babuye bawhobabhatsha, bakabuya bakababhatsha, bakahhadza zwikepe bubili gwazo zwikagulo nyula*. 8 Simoni Phethiro abona ikoku, wakapfigama mbeli kwaYesu eti, "Ibvani pandili He, nentha yekuti ndinhu uhhele tjinya!"

9 Iye nebamwe baaka enabo, bakatjenamisiwa nebunji gwewhobe dzabaka babhata. 10 Jakobe naJohane, bakololo baZebhedi, baka bali bakwinya baSimoni, bakatjenama bo. Yesu wakati kuna Simoni, "Usihle, kubvila ngwenuwali unowhoba ubhata banhu."

11 Bakati badusila zwikepe kumhili, bakasiya kose, bakawuntobela.

12 Kwakayetika kuti ali muwumwe nzi-nkulu, kwakabuya nlume waka ali hhele mapele, wakati abona Yesu akakotamisa n'holo akapfigama mbeli kukwe akawunkumbilisisa eti, "He, hapa muda zwenyu mungandiyeta ndikatjena."

13 Wakatambunudza luboko gugwe, akawumbhata eti, "Ee! ndoda, tjenesewa." Tjinyolotjo mapele akapela. 14 Wakawunlaya eti, "Usibudze kene nhu, yenda unozwilakidza kumphirisiti upe tjibhayilo tjetjenesewa kuko selaya kwaMozisi, kuyetila kuti gube busupi kubanhu."

15 Koga lebgwa nekwaYesu kwakahhala, kukakubungana banhu banjinji pawunli bewhowuwha kakale bewhopodzewa nghwele dzabo. 16 Koga wakazwidusa mubanhu, akayenda kutjilambanyika akanotembezela.

17 Limwe hhuba ediya, kwaka kuna BaFarisi nebadiyi benlayo beligele ipapo bebva mumizi yose yemuGalile, neJudiya, neJerusalema. Simba laHe laka linaye kuti apodze bagwele. 18 Kwakahha bamwe balume bakasenga ntengate nenhobo umwe nlume waka egwala, akalobgwa negulukadzi, bakabehaka ngina naye bawunladzike mbeli kukwe; 19 koga bakahaya zila yabangangina nayo nentha yebunji gwebanhu, bakatanha pehhugwi kwen'umba iyeyo bakawunginisa nemudenga ali panhobo, bakawunghadzika pakati kwebanhu, mbeli kwaYesu. 20 Wakati ebona galamoyo kwabo, akati, "Nlumetate, wayetigwa mazwibhatigwa matjinyo awo."

21 Bakwali nebaFarisi bakatangisa bhuzwa beti, "Ndiyani iwhoyu, unolebeleka etuka Ndzimu? Ndiyani ungayetila mazwibhatigwa matjinyo kuhhe kweNdzimu yega?"

22 Koga Yesu aziba mikumbulo yabo wakabahandula, eti, "Kungentha yeni muzwibhuzwanya mumimoyo yenyu? 23 Ndikupi kulelulelu, kuti, ‘Wayetigwa mazwibhatigwa matjinyo awo,’ kene kuti, ‘Milika uyende’? 24 Koga ke kudze muzibe kuti Nkololo wenhu una masimba muhango, eyetila mazwibhatigwa matjinyo" wakati kunlume wakalobgwa negulukadzi, "Ndoti kukuli, milika, tola nhobo iyo uyende kunzi uwo."

25 Tjinyolotjo wakamilika mbeli kwabo akatola nhobo yaaka alilele payili, akabva ipapo, akayenda kunzi uwe, elumbidza Ndzimu. 26 Bose bakatjenama, bakakudza Ndzimu bakahhala kuhla, beti, "Nasi tabona zwinhu zwisakawolobeleka."

27 Hule kwayikoku wakabhuda akayenda, akabona nketisi waka aligele pan'umba inoketisigwa, zina lile eyi Levi, akati kuwunli, "Unditobele." 28 Wakamilika, akasiya kose, akawuntobela.

29 Levi wakawuyetila nzano nkulu wezodliwa mun'umba iye; kukabuya bunga gulugulu lebaketisi nebamwe banhu, bakadla nabo. 30 Ngono nebaFarisi bakwali babo bakan'un'urika kubadiyiwa babe, beti, "Kati mokuyetilani dla nen'wa muli panhu pan'ompela nebaketisi nebatjinyi?"

31 Yesu wakabahandula ekati, "Basingagwale abatohaka nlapi, koga unohakiwa ngebanogwala. 32 Andizohhila kuti ndiwhodana bakalulama, koga batjinyi, kuti bahanduke."

33 Bakati kuwunli, "Kungentha yeni badiyiwa baJohane beyila zodliwa lubaka gunjinji kakale betembezela, nebadiyiwa bebaFarisi banota bejalo, koga babo banogala bedla ben'wa zwabo."

34 Yesu wakabahandula eti, "Mungata kuti bezi bebukwe bayile zodliwa iye nkwaha atjinabo mun'umba yebukwe? 35 Anowhoswika mahhuba, nkwaha paanowhodusiwa mubali, ndipo pabanowhoyila zodliwa mumahhuba ihawo."

36 Wakababudza tjifananidzo kakale, eti, "Akuna nhu unopalula tjigamba pajila dzwa akatjipfumila patjiyambalo tjikulukugwi; hapa angathama ejalo, unowhopalula jila dzwa, nejekana lapalugwa pajila dzwa alitowhoyendilana netjiyambalo tjikulukugwi. 37 Akuna nhu unosa wayini ndzwa mumapepe makulukugwi; ayengathama ejalo, wayini ndzwa inowhopalula mapepe ikatebuka, mapepe akapwapwatika. 38 Koga wayini ndzwa inosiwa mumapepe matshwa. 39 Kakale akuna nhu unoti an'wa wayini whulukugwi ekoyemula ndzwa; ngobe unoti, ‘Whulukugwi ihine.’ "
