Mwene munda yujha wadachokanjho saa sita ni saa tisa, wadachita chinchijha ngati umo wadachitila poyamba. 6 Yapo idakwana saa khumi namojha ujhulo, wadachokanjho ni kukomana ni wandhu wina aima pamalo yogulichila malonda. Basi, wadaafunjha, ‘Ndandeyanji mwaima pano usana wonjhewu popande njhito?’ 7 Anyiiwo adamuyangha, ‘Palibe uyo watupacha njhito,’ Nayo wadaakambila, ‘Anyiimwe namwenjho pitani mkachite njhito ku munda wanga wa zabibu.’

8 "Ujhulo yapo udafika, mwene munda yujha wadamkambila woimilila wake, ‘Atane ochita njhito waalipe ndalama zao, uyambe ni othela ndiipo achate wajha adachogolela kuchita njhito.’ 9 Wandhu adachita njhito kuyambila saa khumi na mojha, kila mmojhi wadalipidwa mkokolo wake wa siku limojhi. 10 Anyiwajha adachogolela kuchita njhito yapo adajha, amaganiza kuti saapachidwe papakulu, nambho naonjho adalandila kila mmojhi mkokolo umweujha wa siku limojhi. 11 Yapo adalandila mkokolo wao, adayamba kumdandaulila yujha mwene munda. 12 Adakamba, ‘Anyiyawa achita njhito mmathelo, achita njhito kwa saa imojhipe, ndandeyanji alandila mkokolo wolingana ni ife, tachita njhito siku lambhumbhu pajhuwa?’ 13 Pamenepo yujha mwene munda wadamuyangha mmojhi wao, ‘Bwenji langa, sinidakuchefye. Bwanji, sitidavomelezane kukupachani mkokolo wa siku limojhi? 14 Tenga chili chako ujhipita.

16 Yesu wadamalizila pokamba, "Chimwecho wothela siwakhale oyamba ni woyamba siwakhale wothela."

17 Yesu yapo wamapita kumujhi wa Yelusalemu, wadaatenga oyaluzidwa wake khumi ni awili kumalo kopande wandhu, wadakambila, 18 "Velani! Tupita ku yelusalemu, kumeneko Mwana wa Mundhu siwapelekedwe kwa wakulu ajhukulu ni oyaluza thauko, anyiiwo siamlamule kuphedwa. 19 Ndiipo saampeleke kwa wandhu yawo osati Ayahudi siamchite chipongwe ni kumkwapula mikwapulo ni siamphe kwa kumpachika pamtanda, ni siku lakatatu siwahyuke."

20 Ndiipo, maye wa wana a Zebedayo pamojhi ni wana wake adajha kwa Yesu, wadagwada pachogolo pake ni kumpembha wamchitile icho wachifuna.

21 Yesu wadamfunjha, "Ufuna chiyani?"

Wamkazi yujha wadakamba, "Chonde nikambile uzene, wana wanga awiliwa akhale mmojhi ku jhanja la manjele ni mwina ku jhanja la kwene ku Ufumu wako."

22 Yesu wadaakambila, "Simujhiwa icho mupembha, bwanji, mukhoza kumwela chikho cha mavuto ngati icho sinimwele ine?"

Anyiiwo adamuyangha, "Tikhoza,"

23 Yesu wadaakambila, "Zene simchimwele chikho cha mavuto ngati umo sinichimwele ine, nambho nilibe lamulo yosangha yani wakhale ku manjele kwanga kapina kwene kwanga. Malo yameneyo yaikidwa ndande ya anyiwajha asanghidwa ni Atate wanga."

24 Oyaluzidwa wina khumi awili yapo adavela chimwecho wadaakwiyila kupunda Yakobo ni Yohana. 25 Nambho Yesu wadaatana wonjhe pamojhi, wadakambila, "Mujhiwa kuti alamuli awandhu yawo osati Ayahudi, alamula wandhu wao kwa mbhavu ni wandhu wao ali ni ulamulilo kwao. 26 Anyiimwe musadachita chimwecho, mmalo mwake, waliyonjhe uyo wafuna kukhala wamkulu pakati panu, wafunika wakhale mbowa wa wonjhe. 27 Waliyonjhe uyo wafuna kukhala woyamba pakati panu wakhale mbowa wa wonjhe. 28 Ngati umo ili kwa Mwana wa Mundhu siwadajhe kutumikilidwa, nambho kutumikila ni kuuchocha umoyo wake kwa kwaombola wandhu ambili."

29 Yesu ni oyaluzidwa wake yapo amachoka kumujhi wa Yeliko, gulu lalikulu la wandhu lidamchata. 30 Osapenya awili adakhala mmbhepete mwa njila. Yapo adavela kuti Yesu wapita pamenepo, adabula phokoso niakamba, "Ambuye, Mwana wa Daudi, tilengele lisungu!"

31 Gulu lijha lidaanyindila ni kwaakambila akhale chete. Nambho anyiiwo adayendekela kutanilila niakamba, "Ambuye, Mwana wa Daudi, tilengele lisungu!"

32 Yesu wadaima ni kwaatana, wadaafunjha, "Mfuna nikuchitileni chiyani?"

33 Adamuyangha, "Ambuye, tifuna kupenya!"

34 Yesu wadaalengela lisungu ni wadaagafya maso yao. Pampajha adakhoza kupenya, nawo adamchata.
