1 Ndiipo Afalisayo akumojhi ni oyaluza athauko kuchokela ku Yelusalemu, adamchata Yesu ni kumfunjha, 2 "Ndande yanji oyaluzidwa wako saachata mayaluzo yayo taulandila kuchokela kwa azee wathu? Pakuti saasamba bwino manja yao mbaka mvigwinghwi ngati umo ifunikila akali osadye!"

3 Yesu wadaayangha, "Ndande yanji namwenjho simuchata thauko la Mnungu nambho mchata mayaluzo yanu? 4 Mnungu wakamba, ‘Waalemekeze atate wako ni maye wako’ ni ‘Waliyonjhe uyo waatukwana atate wake kapina maye wake, waphedwe.’ 5 Nambho anyiimwe muyaluza kuti ngati mundhu wali ni chindhu chalichonjhe icho wakhoza kwathangatila atate wake kapina amaye, nambho wakamba, ‘Chindhu ichi namchochela Mnungu,’ 6 anyiimwe muyaluza mundhu mmeneyo siwafunika kwaalemekeza atate wake ni amake. Chimwecho nde umo mulidelela mawu la Mnungu kwa kuchata mayaluzo yanu mwachinawene wake. 7 Agunghuli anyiimwe! Mlosi Isaya wadalosela bwino nghani zanu, yapo wadakamba kuusu anyiimwe,

8 ‘Mnungu wakamba kuti wandhu anyiyawa anilemekeza kwa maupe,

nambho mmitima mwao alipatali ni ine.

9 Kunilambila kwao kulibe mate,

pakuti ayaluza mayaluzo ya wandhu ngati mayaluzo yanga!’"

10 Ndiipo Yesu wadalitana gulu la wandu lijha, wadalikambila, "Mnivechele ni mvanenavo! 11 Osati chijha chimlowa mkamwa nde icho chimchita mundhu siwadavomelezeka kwa kumlambila Mnungu, nambho chijha chimchoka mundhu nde icho chimchita siwadavomelezeka pakumlambila Mnungu."

12 Ndiipo oyaluzidwa adamjhela ni kumfunjha, "Bwanji, ujhiwa Afalisayo pajha avela nghani ijha adakwiya?"

13 Yesu wadaayangha, "Mmela uliwonjhe uwo siadauvyale Atate wanga akumwamba siuzulidwe. 14 Msadavechela, achameneo ni achogoleli wa osapenya, ni osapenya wakamchogoza osapenya mnjake, wonjhe awili saabile mjhenje."

15 Petulo wadamkambila, "Tikambileni mate ya chifani chimenecho."

16 Yesu wadaafunjha, "Bwanji, anyiimwe namwenjho simjhiwa nghani imeneyi? 17 Bwanji, simujhiwa kuti chilichonjhe icho chilowa mkamwa chipitilila mmimba ni mathelo yake chipita kudambo? 18 Nambho chindhu icho chituluka mkamwa chichoka mumtima, chimenecho nde icho chimchita mundhu siwadavomelezeka pakumlambila Mnungu. 19 Pakuti mumtima yachoka maganizo ya kupha, chigololo, uhule, unami, kuba, umboni wanthila ni matukwano. 20 Yaya nde yayo yamchita mundhu siwadavomelezeka pa kumlambila Mnungu. Nambho kudya chakudya kwa manja yayo siyadasambidwe bwino mbaka mvigwinghwi siyamchita mundhu siwadavomelezeka pa kumlambila Mnungu."

21 Yesu wadachoka malo yameneyo ni kupita kumijhi ya Tilo ni Sidoni. 22 Wamkazi mmojhi uyo wamakhala mmalo yameneyo, uyo siwadali Myahudi, wadamchata Yesu uku niwalila, niwakamba, "Nilengele lisungu iwe Mwana wa Daudi, mwali wanga wazamwa ni viwanda, wavutika kupunda."

23 Nambho Yesu siwadamuyanghe mau lililonjhe. Chimwecho oyaluzidwa wake adamchata ni kumpembha kupunda, "Mkambile wachoke ndandeyake watichata uku niwatibulila phokoso."

24 Yesu wadaayangha, "Ine natumidwa kwa wandhu ajhiko la Izilaeli yawo ali ngati mbelelepe izo zataika."

25 Wamkazi yujha wadajha ni kumgwadila Yesu, niwapembha, "Pepani Ambuye mnithangatile."

26 Yesu wadayangha, "Osati bwino kutenga chakudya cha wana ni kwaaponyela agalu."

27 Wamkazi yujha wadayangha, "Yetu Ambuye, nambho ata agalu akudya vakudya ivo vikugwa panjhi mbuye wake yapo wakudya."

28 Ndiipo Yesu wadamuyangha, "Wamkazi iwe, chikhulupi chako chachikulu, siuchitilidwe icho udachipembha." Pampajha mwali wake wadalama.

29 Yesu wadachokapo pa malo yajha ni kupita mbhepete mwa nyanja ya Galilaya. Wadakwela kuphili ni kukhala panjhi. 30 Gulu lalikulu la wandhu lidamchata, ni adampeleka wandhu osayende, osapenya, wosakhoze kukamba ni wina ambili adamuikila pachogolo pake, ni wonjhe wadaalamicha. 31 Gulu la wandhu wajha lidadabwa yapo adaona wandhu osakhoze kukamba niakamba, osayenda niayenda, wovuwala nialama, nawo adamtamanda Mnungu wa Izilaeli.

32 Ndiipo Yesu wadaatana oyaluzidwa wake ni kwaakambila, "Nililengela lisungu gulu ili la wandhu, ndande yake akhala ni ine kwa masiku yatatu, ni chipano alibe chakudya icho chakhalila. Ine sinifuna kwaalaila akali ni njala, akhoza kukomoka mnjila."

33 Oyaluzidwa wake adaafunjha, "Pano tili ni paphululu, bwanji, sitipate kuti chakudya chokhoza kwaakwanila wandhu wonjhewa?"

34 Yesu wadaafunjha, "Muli ni mabumunda yangati?"

Anyiiwo adayangha, "Mabunda saba ni njhomba zazing'onozing'ono zochepa."

35 Yesu wadalikambila gulu la wandhu lijha likhale panjhi. 36 Ndiipo wadatenga mabumunda yajha saba ni njhomba zijha, wadamuyamika Mnungu, wadabandula ni kwaapacha oyaluzidwa wake, nawo wadaagawila wajha wandhu. 37 Wandhu wonjhe adadya ni kukhuta. Ndiipo oyaluzidwa wake adakusa vijha vidakhalila nikujhaza miseche saba. 38 Waachimuna yawo adadya adali ngati elufu zinayi, waachikazi ni wana siadawelengedwe.

39 Ndiipo Yesu wadaalaila wandhu, iye wadakwela bwato waukulu ni kupita kumujhi wa Magadani.
