23 “Ndarira hino inaeleza afuasi angu alondwavyo kuswameheana. Mfalume mmwenga wakata shauri kumanya isabu ya pesaze arizoapha atumishie. 24 Ariphoandza kuhenda isabu, wareherwa mutu yekala na deni ra maelufu ga pesa. 25 Kpwa vira kala kaweza kuripha rira deni, tajiriwe walagiza aguzwe ye mwenye, mchewe, anae na vitu vyosi arivyokala navyo ili ariphe rira deni. 26 Phahi yuya mtumishi wamgbwerera maguluni tajiriwe na achimuamba, ‘Bwana, nivumirira nami nindakuripha deniro rosi.’ 27 Ndipho yuya tajiri achimuonera mbazi yuya mtumishiwe achimswamehe rira deni, chisha achimricha achiphiya vyakpwe.
28 “Ela yuyatu mtumishi ariyeswamehewa deni, ariphouka, wakutana na mtumishi myawe ambaye kala anamdai pesa chache. Phahi wamgbwira umiro na achimuamba, ‘Niripha deni rangu!’ 29 Hiye mtumishi myawe wagbwa chimabumabu, achimuamba, ‘Nivumirira nami nindakuripha!’ 30 Ela ye warema, achendamtiya jela myawe hadi ndiphoripha rira denire.
31 “Phahi hinyo atumishi anjina ariphoona mambo higo, asononeka sana, na achendasema na tajiri wao. 32 Yuya tajiri wamuiha yuya mtumishi na achimuamba, ‘Uwe u mtumishi mui sana! Wanivoya nikuswamehe, nami nchikuswamehe deniro rosi. 33 Dze, che si sawa kumuonera mbazi mtumishi myao dza nrivyokuonera mbazi?’ 34 Phahi yuya mfalume watsukirwa sana, achimlavya kpwa asikari a jela akatiwe adabu hadi ndiphoripha denire rosi.” 35 Chimarigizo Jesu waamba, “Naye Baba ariye mlunguni andakuhenderani vivyo chila mmwenga ambaye kandamswamehe mfuasi myawe moyo kutsuka.”
