1 Yesu akawilaje kuvalonjela, "Ntsinguvalonjelani wukweli, kuna vanu vamwe yovali hano yo sivakufwa mbaka ho vakuwuwona Wuntsajila wa Mulungu hila ho wunkutsa kwa wuwetso."

2 Hotsavaga kulutila siku sita, Yesu akavategulaje Petulo, na Yakobo, na Yohana akakwinaje nawo kuchidunda chitali, na vakavaje valiyena. Kuko, Yesu akagalukaje kumiho kuno vangumulava, 3 na myenda joafwite jikamelemaje na kuva myelu tswee! Kuduhu munu yoyuve va muinyi yoafuluche kufuva jive kota fyojili. 4 Luvala lulo vala vadahitswa vadatu vakavawonaje Eliya na Musa valoli va Mulungu, vakantsaje kulongana na Yesu. 5 Petulo akamulonjelaje Yesu, "Mudahitsi, yikuva finofu hetwe twikale hono hano. Chiba tutsenje fyuwo fidatu, chuwo chimwe chive cha heve, na chimwe cha Musa, na chinji chive cha Eliya." 6 Petulo akahabukaje chinya ihyo kwasawuli siatselaga alonje chinu chachi, kwasawuli mwene na vayage vali na mutinuko ndalahela. 7 Simusika likahumilaje lifuluka likavagubikaje, na litsi lya Mulungu kuhuma mu lifuluka likalongaje, "Uyu yo Mwanangu yo ntsimuganile. Mumuhulikitsaje!" 8 Baho baho hovavaga kupugasa, sivamuwene munu yunji yoyuve, lechelelo Yesu ng'ani alihamwe nawo. 9 Hovavaga vankwika kuchidunda, Yesu akavafundaje kwa kuvalonjela kuta, valekaje kumulonjela munu yoyuve ndongwa tso vatsiwene, mbaka mwene Mwana va Munu hoakuva atsilipuche. 10 Ihyo vakatsivikaje ndongwa itso mu numbula tsawo, lechelelo vakavaje vanlongana vene kwa vene kuta, "Kutsilipuka cho chinu chachi?" 11 Vadahitswa vakamuputsaje Yesu, "Kwasawuli yachi vadahitsi va malajitso ga Musa valongaga, yin'ganika Eliya muloli va Mulungu amulongole Chilisito?" 12 Yesu akavalonjelaje, "Ena, yin'ganika Eliya alongole kutsa ili aviche finofu chila chinu. Lechelelo kwasawuli yachi yandikwe mu Mandiko mahagulwa kuta, mwene Mwana va Munu an'ganika kukodwa ndalahela na kubedalwa? 13 Lechelelo ntsinguvalonjelani henye, Eliya mwanga atsitse, nawo vamuditye fyo van'gana vene, na kota hila fyo yandikwe mu Mandiko."*

14 Yesu hamwe na vadahitswa vala vadatu hovavaga kuwuya kuhuma ku chidunda, vakavawonaje vanu wolofu vavapilime vala vadahitswa vanji, na vadahitsi vamwe va malajitso ga Musa valonganaga nawo. 15 Luvala lulo vala vanu wolofu vaveye kumuwona Yesu vakatinukaje ndalahela na vakamubilimilaje kumusamusa. 16 Yesu akavaputsaje vadahitswa, "Munsumwana chinu chachi na iva?" 17 Munu yumwe kuhuma ha vanu vala akamulonjelaje Yesu, "Mudahitsi, ntsikanguletye mwana vangu ana lisoka lyo lingumudita alemwe kulonga. 18 Chila chipindi ho lingumutachila limugwisaga hasi na kumuhumya mifulo kumulomo, na kugwegwetsula mino na kukala ngwaa! Ntsivalonje vadahitswa vako valihetse, valemulwe!" 19 Yesu akavalonjelaje, "Henye vanu va chilelo cho chigaya litumbilo! Ngikala na henye mbaka hanili? Nguvafumilila mbaka hanili? Mundetele heni mukwamitsi uyo!" 20 Nawo vakamuletelaje yula mukwamitsi, lechelelo lisoka lila lyavaga kumuwona Yesu, likamutovaje chinjilisa mukwamitsi yula na kumugwisa hasi, akagalawukaje hasi na kuhuma mifulo ku mulomo. 21 Yesu akamuputsaje dade va mukwamitsi yula, "Mbe, mwanago aveye hino kuhuma hanili?" Akamulonjelaje, "Kuhuma ha wana! 22 Mala ntsongofu limutotsaga mu moto awu mu malenga ili limukopole. Lechelelo manyi unvetsa kudita chinu chochive tunsuka utuwonele lusungu na kututanga." 23 Yesu akamulonjelaje, "Kwasawuli yachi unlonga kuta manyi unvetsa! Fyeka fivaga kwa munya litumbilo." 24 Luvala lulo dade va yula mukwamitsi akakolaje kwa kulonga, "Ntsinalyo litumbilo! Lechelelo unanje ntsive na litumbilo likomi!" 25 Yesu avaga kuwona vanu wolofu vankong'ana, akaling'anulilaje lisoka lila, "Heve lisoka yo ungumudita mukwamitsi yuno ave na wudibafu na wububwi, umuhume mukwamitsi yuno na uleche kumwinjila kaha!" 26 Lisoka lila likakolaje na kumutova chinjilisa, na likamuhumaje mukwamitsi yula. Mukwamitsi akavaje kota afweye, ihyo vanu wolofu vakalongaje kuta, "Afweye!" 27 Lechelelo Yesu akamubataje liwoko na kumwinula, nayo akimaje. 28 Yesu ho avaga kwinjila mu nyumba, vadahitswa vake hovavaga valiyena vakamuputsaje, "Kwasawuli yachi hetwe tulemulwe kulihetsa lisoka lila?" 29 Yesu akavalonjelaje, "Lisoka linya hila silifuluche lihume, lechelelo kwa kulongola kumusuka Mulungu tandi."

30 Yesu hamwe na vadahitswa vake vakawukaje hono iho, vakakolelaje ku Galilaya. Yesu siaganaga munu yoyuve atsele kovali, 31 kwasawuli avaga avadahitse vadahitswa vake. Avaga avalonje kuta, "Heni Mwana va Munu ngupitukwa na kibatika mu mawoko ga vanu nawo vakung'opola, lechelelo siku ya kadatu kuhuma ng'opolwe, ngutsilipuka." 32 Lechelelo vadahitswa vake sivalutselye lulongwa ulo loalontsile Yesu, na vakavaje na muloto kumuputsa.

33 Yesu na vadahitswa vake hovavaga kufika ku Kapelinaumu na kwinjila mu nyumba, Yesu akavaputsaje vadahitswa vake, "Chichi cho mwisumanije kung'asi kula?" 34 Lechelelo vene vakakatukaje, kwasawuli mung'asi vasumanaga kuta nani yo akuva muvina hagati hetu. 35 Yesu akikalisaje hasi, akavachemaje vadahitswa vake kumi na vavili na kuvalonjela, "Manyi munu yoyuve an'gana ave mulongola, an'ganika ave va mwiso na ave mutantsi va veka." 36 Ihyo Yesu akamutegulaje mwana mudodo na kumwimya hagati hawo, akamukumbanitsaje na kuvalonjela, 37 "Munu yoyuve yo akumulibulitsa mwana yumwe mudodo kota vana iva kwasawuli yangu, akuva andibulitse heni. Nayo yoyuve yo akundibulitsa heni, akuva amulibulitse Mulungu yo anumile."

38 Yohana akamulonjelaje Yesu, "Mudahitsi, tumuwene munu yumwe angujing'anulila misoka kwa Litawa lyako, hetwe tukamulemetsaje kwasawuli mwene siali likuga na hetwe." 39 Lechelelo Yesu akalongaje, "Mulekaje kumulemetsa munu yo an'dita kota ihyo. Kuduhu munu yoyuve yoafuluche adite ndongwa tsinya mitinuso kwa Litawa lyangu, kaha luvala lulo antse kundonga fibi. 40 Munu yoyuve yosinambe atelane na hetwe ali lubali lwetu. 41 Nachene ntsinguvalonjelani kuta, manyi munu yoyuve avapele chikombe cha malenga ga kung'wa kwasawuli henye mu vanu va Chilisito, nachene munu uyo akwanuchila ngweko kwa Mulungu."

42 Lechelelo manyi munu yoyuve yo akumwambutsa yumwe va vadodo iva adite ndongwa tsibi, yikuva chiba munu uyo vamuwopeletse lwala lukomi musingo yake na kutotswa mu bahali. 43 Manyi liwoko lyako likwambutse kudita ndongwa ntsibi, chiba ulidumule. Yikuva chiba heve winjile ku wumi wowugaya wudugo kuno ulihela liwoko limwe, kuliko kuva na mawoko gavili lechelelo ubite ku moto go sigutsimaga. 44 Kuko kojili mifuntsa josinambe jilalile na moto, na kaha ugo moto gwene sigutsimikaga. * 45 Manyi ligulu lyako likwambutse kudita ndongwa ntsibi, chiba ulidumule. Yikuva chiba heve winjile ku wumi wa Mulungu kuno ulihela ligulu limwe, kuliko kuva na magulu gavili lechelelo ubite ku moto go sigutsimikaga. 46 Kuko kuna mifuntsa josinambe jilalile na moto, na kaha ugo moto gwene sigutsimikaga. 47 Manyi liho lyako likwambutse kudita ndongwa ntsibi, chiba ulikolopole. Yikuva chiba heve winjile ku wumi wo wugaya wudugo kuno ulihela liho limwe, kuliko kuva na miho gavili, lechelelo ubite ku moto go sigutsimikaga. 48 Kuko kuna mifuntsa josinambe jilalile na moto, na kaha ugo moto gwene sigutsimikaga. 49 Mulungu akumulutitsa chila munu mu ng'odeko, kota hila vanu fyo vabakaga mwino mu nyama kabla ya kuyilalitsa. 50 Mwino guvaga munofu hala hogung'acha na lwiha, lechelelo manyi guyatse lwiha lwake gukubadilwa na chinu chachi? Nanye muvaje kota mwino gogunkola, mwelewane henye kwa henye.
