Matei 22

Imbuli ye ukukwela ne ukutsilihuka

23 Litsuwa lilyo, Masadukayo wamwenga, iwanu iwolonga kuduhu kutsilihuka, wamghendela Yesu. 24 Wamghutsa walonga, "Mlangulitsi, Musa katulongela immale ang’afa bila kweleka iwana, ndughu yake kobamighwa amkwele chitsuka ayo, ili amwelekele indughu yake iwana. 25 Lelo, hakaye hetu hano tsahana iwandughu saba. Wamwanduso kakwela, kuya kafa, na kwaapfila tsakahela iwana, mwehe wake kamlekela ndughu yake. 26 Chinu chichila chimlawila ndughu yake wa keli, wa kadatu, mbaka ndughu yake wa saba. 27 Kuya mwehe ayo naye kafa. 28 Lelo iwanu hawotsotsilihuka mne litsuwa lya kutsilihuka, mwehe ayo katsokuwa wa yuhi mna iwandughu wano saba? Kwaapfila wose tsawamkwela."

29 Yesu kawedika, "Mwakwagha, kwaapfila ng’amanyile bae Ghamaandiko Mahenzeluka au ngupfu ye Imulungu. 30 Kwaapfila iwanu hawatsotsilihuka, kuduhu ukukwela wala ukukwelighwa, watsokuwa ka malaika iwali kulanga. 31 Lekeni, imbuli yo ukutsilihuka kwe iwanu, ng’amsomile bae achila chayamlongeleni Imulungu? Kawalongela, 32 ‘Nene na Imulungu wa Abrahamu, na Imulungu wa Isaka, na Imulungu wa Yakobu.’ Yeye si Imulungu wa iwanu iwafile bae, ila Imulungu we iwanu waghima."

33 Iwanu hawahulike apfi, wakangawala kwa ghamalangulitso ghake.
