1 Wakatangisa diya pawhunde yegungwa. Akakubunganigwa nebanhu banjinji, ndizo wakangina mukepe, akagala mugungwa, koga gubungano lose lebanhu laka lili pamhili yegungwa, pamavu. 2 Wakabadiya zwinhu zwinjinji ngezwifananidzo, akati mukudiya kukwe. 3 "Whililani; lingani! kuna umwe ndzwali wakayenda kunodzwala. 4 Wakati ewaya, imwe mbewu ikawila muzila, nyunyi dzikabuya dzikayidla. 5 Imwe mbewu yakawila pana mahalabgwana, paka pasina mavu manjinji; ikalibilidza mela nekuti kwaka kusina mavu manjinji. 6 Koga kwakati hhuba litanha ikatshwa; saku yaka isina midzi yakabva yaswaba. 7 Imwe mbewu yakawila mumimhiwa, mimhiwa ikakula ikayizwiya, ikasazwala. 8 Imwe mbewu yakawila mumavu akanaka ikazwala, ikakula ikawanda, ikazwala, imwe kwakapamhiwa kagulu, imwe kuli makumi matanhatu, imwe kuli makumi matatu."

9 Wakati kubali, "Unazebe dzewha, ngaawhe."

10 Wakakoti atjibe yega, banhu baka bakawunkombeledza nebadiyiwa baligumi nebabili bakawumbhuzwa nekwezwifananidzo. 11 Yesu wakati kubali, "Imwi makapiwa kuti muzibe zwakasumbikika zwebumambo gweNdzimu, koga kubamwe ibabo bakuhhe, kose kolebgwa ngezwifananidzo; 12 ✝kuyetila kuti,

" ‘Babone

koga basibonesese,

kakale bawhe

koga basitongowhisisa;

ngobe bangahanduka kakale,

bakayetigwa mazwibhatigwa.’ "

13 Yesu akati kubali, "Amutotjiwhisisa tjifananidzo itjetji? Ngono mowhoziba tjini tjinolebgwa nezwifananidzo zwimwe zose? 14 Ndzwali unodzwala dama. 15 Dama palinodzwagwa; banoti beliwha, tjinyolotjo Satane ebuya etola dama ladzwagwa, ibabo ndiyo mbewu imuzila. 16 Sayikoko bo, mbewu imumahalabgwana, ndi ibabo banoti bewha dama tjinyolotjo bakaliwamutjila nekuhanha; 17 abana midzi, koga banobhatilila kwelubakanyana; panoswika bulemo kene dziyidzika ngentha yedama, banobva banyala moyo tjinyolotjo. 18 Bamwe imbewu yakadzwagwa pakati kwemimhiwa; ndi ibabo banowha dama, 19 koga da zwinhu zwehango, nehanhila fumwa, neyemula zwimwe zwinhu, kunginila kutshambidzila dama, likosaba nemitjelo. 20 Koga mbewu yakadzwagwa mumavu akanaka ndi ibabo banowha dama, bakaliwamutjila, bakakozwala mitjelo, yakapamhiwa kagulu, imwe kuli makumi matanhatu, imwe kuli makumi matatu."

21 Yesu wakati kubali, "Kuna tjivoneko tjinotongosiwa kusi kwetundu kene kusi kwembheta? Koga haate tjisiwa pehhugwi kwetjigadziko tjetjivoneko? 22 Nekuti akuna tjakasumbikika tjisingowhodusigwa patjena; kakale akuna tjinowhogala tjakasumbikika, koga tjowhobhuda patjena. 23 Hapa kene upi nhu enazebe dzowha, ngaawhe."

24 Wakati kakale kubali, "Yelani njele kuti tjamunowha ini, kakale tjilizanyo tjamunopa nditjo tjamunowhowamutjila bo, kene kwakajalo kumuli kowhopamhidzigwa. 25 Ngobe unako unowhopiwa kunjinji; koga usina, nayikoko kwaanako unowhokutolegwa."

26 Wakati, "Bumambo gweNdzimu gonga nhu wakadzwala mbewu mumavu; 27 Akakonda enolala emuka siku nesikati, mela ukapombonoka ukakula koga asingazibe kuti wakula tjini. 28 Mavu ngekwawo anozwikudzila, kotanga kwabhuda mela, kukotjifunda, kukotobela n'holo watjiyibva. 29 Koga hapa kwatjiyibva, unobva alonga sikela, ngobe lubaka gwevuna gobe gwaswika."

30 Yesu wakati, "Bumambo gweNdzimu tingagufananisa neni? Kene iko kuti tingagufananisa natjipi tjifananidzo? 31 Gonga mhudzi yemasitadi, inoti payinodzwagwa mumavu inobe ili nhukununu pamhudzi dzosedzose dziyapo muhango. 32 Koga hapa yadzwagwa inokula ikabe whuluwhulu kupinda zwilimwa zose, inopalula nhabi whuluwhulu kwekuti nyunyi dzemumhepo dzobaka zwihaka dzikawana ntuzi."

33 Wakalebeleka nabo dama ehingisa zwifananidzo kuyendilana nekuti baka bewhisisa kungapani. 34 Haazotongolebeleka nabo neyimwe zila isi zwifananidzo, koga baka beti batjibe boga nebadiyiwa babe ekotjibatjenesela zwinhu zose.

35 Hhuba ilo zwalo ilelo, kwakati kwatjibe madekwana akati kubali, "Ayitjulukileni seli." 36 Besiya mbunga, bakangina bo mukepe, iye waka atjingina kale, bakayenda, kwakakuna zwimwe zwikepe ipapo. 37 Kukakomilika dutu gulugulu, vula dzalo dzikangina mukepe tjikabe tjohhala vula. 38 Yesu waka ali kuhule mukepe alilelezwe panhobo akasazamila nsazamilo; bakawumusa beti, "Ndhiyi, amuna hanya kuti tepalala?"

39 Akabe emilika etjemela mhepo, eti kugungwa, "Dzikama! Nyalala uti whu!" Mhepo ikanyalala kukabe nekunyalala kukulukulu. 40 Akabe oti kubali, "Mohlilani zwingapa? Amuna bugalimoyo?"

41 Bakahla kwazo bakati umwe kuwumwe, "Ndiyani iwhoyu unowhiligwa nemhepo nange gungwa lose?"
