1 Wakati kwabali, "Chokomende ndinoti kwamuli, pana bamwe benu yopano, abatolushangana lufu, besanhu babona bushe bwaMwali buzha nesimba."

2 Mushule mwamazhuba mashanu ana limwempela, Jesu wakatola Pita naJemusi naJoni, akatanha nabo pezhulu pedunhu ilefu, pabakabeli boga; ndipo paakashandulwa chimo mbeli kwabo, 3 zwimbalo zwizwe zwakangaima zwikaba zwichena kasa zwokuti akuna penyika angapopa zwimbalo zwikachena alo. 4 Kwakaboneka Elija naMozesi belebeleka naJesu. 5 Pita wakalebeleka akati kuna Jesu, "She, zwibuya zwatili yopano, ngatibakeni zwitumba zwitatu, chimwe chibe chenu, chimwe chaMozesi, nechimwe chaElija." 6 Ajakaziba zwakabeleba nokuti, bakabhatwa nolutyo.

7 Kwakaba negole likabafukatila, iwhi likawhika liva mugole liti "Yoyu Mwananhulumyana wangu unodikana, unwhilileni!" 8 Pakalepo pabakalinga yoku noku, apana unhu ubakabona kuzhe kwaJesu chete wakabeli nabo.

14 Pabakati baswika pakabeli nabamwe balayijwa, bakabona idupwa igulwana lili pakalepo akale bamwe bakwali bakabe kakabajana nabo. 15 Pakalepo idupwa palyakabona Jesu, lyakashama kasa likezha kwaali ikomusa. 16 Wakababhuza eti, "Mumukakabajana nabo neni?"

17 Umwe mukati mwebunga wakashandula eti, "Ndayiji, ndabuza mwananhulumyana wangu kwamuli unampepo wokusotubula kulebeleka. 18 Kana ekabhatwa nompepo yoyu, unombwejela pasi; epupuma ifulu, eluma meno akale umbili unokakanyala; ndakakumbila balayijwa babo kuti bebhise umpepo yoyu pazhe, asi bakakonwa."

19 Iye wakabashandula eti, "Imwi chizekululu chisinodimbwa! Biya ndigale namwi kuswikila lini? Umbuzeni kwandili." 20 Bakombuza umbisana kwaali.

Umpepo puwakombona, wakonsuntula umbisana akawila pasi akapupa ekungulika, epupuma ifulu. 21 Jesu wakabhuza tate bombisana akati. "Waaba nonshaji undefu chini eli ali? Bakati, kuva echintukutuku." 22 "Kanjinji unosomposela mumoto nomuvula, ukweja kumbulaya; asi kana mutubula tiwhileni ishe tibhancheni!"

23 Jesu wakati kuna iye, "Ndingata zwaandinotubula! Zwose zwinotubulika kuna iye unodimbwa."

24 Pakalepo tate bomwana bakashomeja belila, bakati, "Ndinodimbwa, ndibhancheni pakusodimbwa kwangu!"

25 Jesu paakabona banhu bezha belabuka bebungana, wakakalalila umpepo umbi eti kwauli, "Iwi mpepo wobumumu nobuchinzebe, ndinokulaya, bhuda mwaali, usibuye kabili!"

26 Pawakashobelela nokumfundilija kasa, wakabhuda mwaali, umbisana wakaba sonhu wafa; banji bakatanga kulebeleka beti, "Wafa." 27 Koga Jesu wakombhata noluboko lulwe akonyamula, naiye akamilika.

28 Wakati angwina mungumba, balayijwa babe bakombhuza pabakaba boga beti, "Isu takonwa chini kumbhisa?"

29 Wakati kwabali, "Unshobo yoyu aungabhude asi nokunamata."

30 Bakabhuda yopo bakenda bakapinda nomuGalili. Aajakada kuti zwizibwe nonhu; 31 nokuti wakabelayija balayijwa babe eti kwabali, "Mwananhulumyana woNhu unoopilwa mumaboko abanhu, ibo bachoombulaya; kana abulayiwa, mushule mwamazhuba matatu unoomuka."

32 Koga abajakawhisisisa kuti indayijo yiye ikumulebani, akale bakatya kuumbhuza. 33 Bakaswika kuKapenaumi, pabakangwina mungumba wakababhuza eti, "Ani mwaba muzuwani mulimunzila?"

34 Koga bakawhilijila, nokuti munzila beli boga bakaba benyenyejana kuti ndiyani unkulwana kasa kasa. 35 Wakagala pasi, akashoba baligumi namabili, akati kwabali, "Kana unhu eda kuti ebe wokutanga, ngaabe wokujibija kwabali, ebe unshingi wabo bose." 36 Wakatola mwana, akomisa mbeli kwabo, akomfufuzhila, akati kwabali; 37 "Aani nani unotambula umwe wabana batukutuku bakadai muzina lyangu, unonditambulabo; akale wose unonditambula, aatobetambula imi, koga unotambula iye wakandituma."

38 Joni wakati kwaali, "Ndayiji, tabona unhulume ebhisa madimoni muzina lyenu, asi toonjibisa, nokuti atoba umwe wedu."

39 Koga Jesu wakati, "Musuundambije, nokuti akuna unhu angata zwishamiso muzina lyangu, pakalepo etanga kulebeleka bubi nami. 40 Nokuti yoyo usinolwisana nasu ngowedu. 41 Chokomende ndinoti kwamuli, unhu unomupa unkombe wevula yokunwa muzina lyangu, nokuti mulibaKristo, chokomende aangalashikilwe nombhayilo uwe."

42 "Yoyo unotisa umwempela waaba batukutuku banodimbwa kunami kuti bechinye, zwingaba zwibuya kuti yoyo unhu esungililwe igwiyo igulwana munchibha uwe kova iye eposelwa mugungwa. 43 Akale kana luboko lulwo lutisa kuti uchinye, ludumule! zwibuya kuti iwi ungwine mubupenyu uligosha, kuna kuti ube namaboko mabili kova unda kuGehena, kumoto usinojima" 45 Kana igumbo lilyo likungwinisa muluchinyo, lidumule; zwibuya kuti ungwine mubupenyu uligosha, kuna kuti ube namakumbo mabili kova uposelwa muGehena. 47 "Kana izhisho lilyo litisa kuti uchinye, libhise! zwibuya kuti ungwine mubushe bwaMwali uli nezhisho limwempela, kuna kuti namesho mabili uposelwe muGehena." 48 "Imo munegonye lisinofa, akale nomoto usinojima."

49 Umwe noumwe unoolungwa nomoto.

50 Munyu umbuyanana; koga kana munyu usichinolwela, biya mungomusilija chini?

"Ibani nomunyu mukati mwenu, mugale nolunyalalo umwe nomwe."
