13 "Maawe kulindinywe, baKkorazini! Maawe kulindinwe, Bbetisayida! Nkaambo nikuunga milimu mipati yakachitwa kulinduwe yakali yachitilwa kuTaya aku Sidoni, bakali kunosanduka chiindi chakale, balakkala muzisamo zyamasaka amudyota! 14 Pesi chiyooba chuuba kapati kuTaya aSidoni mubuzuba bwalubeta kwiinda ndinywe. 15 ✝Alimwi anduwe, Kkapenawumi, iwe tukwe kuyoosumpulwa pe kujulu? Pesi uyoowalilwa muchikkalilo chabafu."

16 "Ooyo umvwa ndinywe umvwa ndime, alimwi ooyo umutama utama ndime, alimwi ooyo utama ndime unoli utama ooyo wakandituma."

17 Balimakumi alimusanu abili ababili bakaboola mulukondo, kabati, "Mwami, nibaba basikazwa bakazwa muzina lyako!"

18 Mpawo wakabaambila wati, "Ndabona Satani kali kuwa mbuli kalabi kuzwa kujulu. 19 Amulange, ndamupa nguzu zyakulyata atala abazoka atubanze, alimwi atala anguzu zyoonse zyasinkondoma; alimwi takukwe kumuchisa pe. 20 Nikuba oobo mutabotelwi muli zeezi, kuti mwatanda myuuya mibi; pesi amubotelwe kuti mazina aanu alembwa kujulu."

21 Muchiindi eecho Jesu wakakondwa muMuuya Usalala mpawo wati, "Ndalumba, Taata, Mwami wakujulu anyika, nkaambo wakasisa zintu eezi kubasongo abayiide, pesi mwakaziyubununa kubana baniini nikuba boobo chakabota kubusyu bwanu Taata. 22 ✝ Zyoonse zintu zyakapegwa kulindime kuzwa kuli Taata; alimwi takukwe muntu uuzi Mwana kuunze kwaTaata, nikuba kuti Wisi kuti ngwani kuunze kwaMwana alimwi kufumbwa kuliyooyo Mwana ngwasala kuti amuyubunune Taata."

23 Alimwi wakacheba kuli basikwiiya bakwe mpawo wakabaambila mukavwindi wati, "Alaachoolwe meso abona eezyo nzimubwene! 24 Nkaambo ndamwaambila kuti, basinsimi abami bayiingi bakali achiyandisyo chakubona eezi zimubwene, alimwi tebachibona pe, akuti bamvwe eechi nchimumvwide, pesi tebakazimvwa pe."

25 Alimwi laanga, umwi muyiisi wamulawu wakabuka, wakali kuyanda kusunka Jesu, wakati, "Mwami, ndichite biyeni kuti ndikajane buumi butamani?"

26 Jesu wakamuvwiila wati, "Niinzi chilembedwe mumulawu? Ubala biyeni iwe?"

27 Alimwi wakamuvwiila wati, "Yanda Mwami Leza wako amoyo wako woonse, amuuya wako woonse, anguzu zyako zyoonse, amuyeeyo wako woonse; mpawo uyande baabo mbumuyakilene aabo mbuli lyaako."

28 Mpawo Jesu wakati, "Waamba kasimpe; zichite ezi kuti, alimwi uyoopona."

29 Pesi wakayanda, kulisalazya wati kuli Jesu, "Ani ngwani ngundiyakilene awe?"

30 Jesu wakamuvwiila wati, "Kwakali mwaalumi wakakunuka kazwa muJerusalemu kaya kuJerikko, wakaswanana ababbi, aabo bakamuuma bamuzuununa zisamo, bakamusiya kalisuntukide. 31 Mpawo kwakaza muPayizi munzila njiyeeyo; naakamulanga mwaalumi ooyu wakabembeleka. 32 Alimwi kwakaza muLevi, naakasika afwiifwi wakamulanga mwaalumi ooyu alakwe mpawo wakabembeleka. 33 Pesi muSamariya, naakali kuyoobuya mulweendo lwakwe, wakasika mpakalilede mwaalumi naakamubona mpawo wakamufwida luzyalo, 34 alimwi wakasika mpakalilede, mpawo wamutila mafuta mpawo awayini; wakamulambila midabba azilonda zyakwe, wamubweza ambongolo yakwe wamweeta kuŋanda yabeenzu ooko nkwaka kumoonga. 35 Alimwi mubuzuba butobela, awo naakali kubambila kunjila nzila mulweendo lwakwe wakabweza makkobili abili, wakapa ooyu siŋanda yabanakweenda, wakamwaambila wati, ‘Ndikumbila umoonge mwaalumi ooyu; kufumbwa nchutabelesye kwiinda mali njindasiya, nzokupa ndaboola.’ "

36 "Lino ngwani alibaba bantu batatu, nguyeeya kuti, wakatondezya kuba muyakizyani wayooyu mwaalumi wakawumwa abasikubba?"

37 Mpawo wakati, "Ngooyu wakamufwida luse mwaalumi ooyo."

Alimwi Jesu wakamwaambila wati, "Kuya ukachite mbuboobo anduwe."

38 Lino nibakali kuyabweenda abasikwiiya bakwe, Jesu wakanjila mugunzi; eelyo kwakali umwi mwanakazi wakali kutegwa zina lyakwe nguMaata wakamutambula muŋanda yakwe. 39 Alimwi wakala mwanike wakwe wakalikutegwa Meri, ooyo wakakkala afwiifwi aMwami, kalokuswilizya injiisyo yakwe. 40 Pesi Maata wakali kubakutawukila; mpawo wakaya kulinguwe wati, "Mwami, tulipenzyi na kuti mwanike wangu wandilekelezya kandilokukutawuka andilikke? Mwaambile kuti aze azondigwasye."

41 Pesi Mwami wakamuvwiila wati, "Maata, Maata, nkaamboonzi nulikatazya atala azintu zyiingi; 42 chintu chimwi chibotu chiyandikana. Alimwi Meri wasala chibela chibotu, nchatakwe kuyoonyanzigwa pe."
