19 "Mleke kwika tsimali tsenu muisi, amwo ghamabumbuluwa na ing’utu pfotsihinya, na iwahitsi wobomola na kwiba. 20 Lekeni mwike tsimali tsenu kulanga, ako ghamabumbuluwa na ing’utu ng’awotsihinya baye, na iwahitsi ng’awodaha baye ukubomola wala ukwiba. 21 Kwaapfila ahala hana tsimali tsako, baho haghutsokala ghumoyo ghwako.
Ghumwanga ghwa ilukuli
(Luk 11:34-36)
22 "Inenge yiyo itala ya ilukuli. Lelo inenge yako ana yelile, ilukuli lwako lwose lutsakuwa na ghumwanga. 23 Lekeni inenge ako ana yihile, ilukuli lwako lwose lutsakuwa mchisi. Apfo ghumwanga ighuli mghati mwako ghung’awa chisi, acho ambe chisi totolo!
Kutumikila watwatsa weli
(Luk 16:13; Luk 12:22-31)
24 "Haduhu munu iyodaha kutumikila watwatsa weli, kwaapfila katsomwihila yumwe na kumkunda yungi; au katsomuwinza yumwe na kumbetsa yungi. Ng’amdaha baye kumtumikila Imlungu na tsimali.
25 "Apfo lelo nomlongelani, mleke kwalangulila ugima wenu, mja choni au mng’wa choni; wala tsing’uli tsenu, mpfala choni. Angu pfihi, ugima ng’auna samani kubita ipfijo baye? Na ilukuli ng’aluna samani kubita ghamagwanda baye? 26 Mlole wapfideghe wa kulanga, ng’awohanda baye, wala ng’awopfuna baye, wala kwika mkano; na Aba wenu iyali kulanga kowaghutitsa! Apfi mwemwe ng’amli wa samani ngulu kubita wapfideghe baye? 27 Yuhi mna mwemwe kwa ukwalangula kodaha ukwongetsa ichimo chake kwa moko ghumwe?
28 "Na kwa ajili ya tsinguo, hebari mkwalangula? Ghaloleni ghamaluwa ighali mmighunda, pfaghokula. Ng’aghotenda sang’ano baye, wala ng’aghofuma. 29 Na nene nomlongelani kuwa hata Selemani hamwe na utajiri wake wose wa tsimali, ng’apfalile pfinoghile baye ka luwa limwe mna ghamaluwa agho. 30 Lelo ka Imlungu koipfatsa apfo imitsani ya kubagho, ili baho leloli, na ilupfi yakwasighwa mna litanuli, angu ng’atsompfatsani mwemwe baye, mwemwe yamli na noghola ndodo?
31 "Apfo mleke kwalangula, kulonga, ‘Tuja choni?’ Au ‘Tukunwa choni,’ au ‘Tupfala choni?’ 32 Kwaapfila iwanu ing’awammanyile Imlungu woghasumbukila agho ghose; lekeni Aba wenu wa kulanga komanya ka mwoghabama agho ghose. 33 Lekeni mwemwe tanu ubameni ufalume wake na ihaki yake, na agho ghose mtsakwing’ighwa. 34 Apfo lelo mleke ukwalangula gha ilupfi, kwa apfila ilupfi itsakwalangula yenyegho. Chila tsuwa lina ighehile ghake, lekani kwongetsa ghangi.
