Mpani ri Mulhupalhe
(Mako 9:33-37; Luk 9:46-48)
1 Yeyo ikatema iyo owiittucha nkayaawa wa Yesu, nkayankoha, “Phi mpani ri mulhupalhe chinene mu Imwene yo wiirimu?” 2 Yesu nkaamwiihana mwanhima, nkaamwemesha variyari aya, 3 nkeera, “Kinouhimeriani ikekhiaye, mwaahirukunuweke ni ukhalha thoko achihima, khannowa mwaakelha wi Imwene yo wiirimu mena. 4 Mulhupalhe nhina Imwene yo wiirimu, ri phi ntu neetimarikha thoko ulha mwanhima ulha. 5 Ntu riyoothe nompochera mwanhima thoko ulha wo nchina naka, nokipochera mii.”
Ulhikachiya
(Mako 9:42-48; Luk 17:1-2)
6 “Ntu riyoothe nohalha unttekiha mmoka aya alha ashinkani anokirumelhelha alha, irii mbaya yoyo ntu uyo attukelhelhiye nshilho nulhupalhe nshikoni ni utitimerihiya ubaharini wo wiisha chinene. 7 Ihothapana ilhapo wo nlhatu no ulhikachiya unaawulhusha attu mu uwonyani! Ulhikachiya thoko chiicho unoowa waakhumelhelha, nansho ahothapana attu anohalha upanga chiicho!
8 “Yakhalhaka moono inyu ama mweto inyu uhoottekihakani, ntupulheke ni urihelha uwo shoro! Iri mbaya inyuva ukelha mu ukumini wo uhikhalha ni moono ama mweto, kuliko urihiya umooroni uhintiphia mahuku o uhimalha nnari ni miono miilhi ni mieto chinyu miilhi. 9 Ni niitho ninyu noottekihakani, nkhulheke nrihelheke utayi. Iri nambaya wo inyuva ukelha mu ukumini nnari ni niitho nimoka, kuliko utikhelhiya vamooroni Ujehannamu nnari ni miitho melhi.”
Nlhikaaniho no ikhondoro ipotenre
(Luk 15:3-7)
10 “Mwiishungeke! Nhimpangelhe niphiondho mmoka aya ashinkani alha. Kinouhimeriani wiira minepa chaya cho wiirimu chiri muulhokelhani wo mahuku onkhaye wa Athumwanaka o wiirimu.”
11 “Ukhalhawaya Mwaana a Ntu wiilhe woopolha attu apotenre. 12 Nnoona chani, ntu akhalhaka ni ikhondoro imia imoka, yapoteraka imoka, nopangani? Noohiya chilhe makhumi tisa ni tisa umwaakoni, nkaarwa uuthothani ikhondoro imoka ipotenre. 13 Vanoona awe, we ikekhiaye vavawo phi nottapelhelha awe wo nlhatu no ikhondoro imoka iyo, ipwahaka chikhwawe makhumi tisa ni tisa chaahanlhe chiyo. 14 Phi chiichammo, Athumwanihu o wiirimu vahinotuna aya inakhalhaka mmoka aya alha ashinkani alha apotere.”
Waamukana
15 “Yakhalhaka munninyu hoottekelhani, nrweeke mwamwaamukeke. Nansho mwamwaamukeke nnari elhi vekha inyu. Owiiwaakani, nhompatta nhima inyu. 16 Nansho aahiwelhelheke, munkusheke ntu mmoka ama attu elhi mwaarwaneke, akhalhe phi attu o uhimiechesha nenno nlhove nno, thoko chinohimiya ni Malhove Matakatifu, attu elhi ama araru. 17 Aahiwelhelheke yayo attu ayo, nhimiacheke wa attu anrumelhenlhe Kuristo. Aahiwelhelheke nlhoko wa attu anrumelhenlhe Kuristo, ooniyeke etu thoko attu ahinchuwenlhe Nlhuku ama attu anolhiviha ikhodi.”
Uchiichiha ni uhiyerera
18 “Vavawo, kinouhimeriani wo ikekhiaye mwaatti wiira, chinohalha inyu uttuka velhaponi va, chinoottukiya chiicho wiirimu, ni chittu chinohalha inyu uttukulha velhaponi va, chinoottukulhiya chiicho wiirimu. 19 Tho kinouhimeriani wo ikekhiaye wiira, attu o irusho cho uchuwelha mu nlhokoni mwinyu yeewananaka velhaponi va nlhove niriyoothe no ulhepelha, Athumwanaka o wiirimu anoupangelhani nenno nlhove nno. 20 Ukhalhawaya variwoothe wanthukumana aya attu elhi ama araru wo nchina naka, mii kirii vavawo vamoka ni ayo.”
Nlhikaaniho no karumiya o uhilheva
21 Napeturo nkayanttwara Yesu, nkankoha, “Eti Thithi, nhimaaka akittekelhaka, kinlhevelheke vachani? Mikwaha saba?”
22 Yesu nkaakhulha, “Akineera vathanu ni velhi, nansho makhumi saba mikwaha saba. 23 Ukhalhawaya Umwene wo wiirimu unolhikaana ni mwene mmoka aalhakenlhe uwehaweha maalhakelho a anamitheko aari nhina mamulaka awe. 24 Vaachokhonlhe awe, nkaawiheriya ntu mmoka aari ni nlhatu wo nchurukhu ishilingi maelufu khumi. 25 Yoyo ntu uyo khaarina ittu iriyoothe yo ulhiva nlhatu awe, paahi eti anene ntheko ayo nkayaalhehera wiira athumihiye ipotta, ahanu awe, achishaana awe ni chittu chonkhaye chirinawe, alhive nlhatu. 26 Paahi yoyo karumiya uyo nkaakhoroma wa mwanene nhakhu uyo, nkeera, ‘Nkilhite, ni mii kinoulhivani nlhatu winyu!’ 27 Mwanene ntheko uyo nkayaamwonelha ikiriri namitheko uyo, nkanhiyerera nlhatu wonkhaye, nkanhiya arweeke.”
28 “Nansho namitheko uyo mwanene nkaathama, nkamphwanya mmoka a anamitheko akhunanawe aari ni nlhatu wo nchurukhu ishilingi imia imoka. Nkammara, nkaamwama ishiko eeraka, ‘Nkilhive nlhatu aka!’ 29 Karumiya nkhunanawe nkaakhoroma, nkammenda eeraka, ‘Nkilhite ni mii kinowulhivani.’ 30 Nansho uyo khaattunne, nkanttuka ujeerani mpaka vaalhinve awe nlhatu.”
31 “Paahi, anamitheko ashikhunanawe yooneke yayo yahochukulha chinene, nkayaarwaa uwaahimeriani amwene mwaha wonkhaye ukhumelhenlhe. 32 Vavawo anene ntheko nkayaamwiihana yoyo karumiya uyo, nkaamwirelha, ‘Uwe karumiya o uhilhoka chinene! Wahokilhepelha, ni mii nkakoohiyerera nlhatu wonkhaye. 33 Nhothananiya umonelha ikiriri karumiya nkhunaninyu thoko mii chowonenlhe akani ikiriri.’ ” 34 “Amwene nkayaarushiya chinene, nkantikhelha ujerani atwarushiye mpaka vanohalha awe ulhiva nlhatu wonkhaye.”
35 “Ni Athumwanaka arii wiirimu, anoupangelhani chiichammo yakhalhaka kila mmoka inyu khanohiyerera uwonya wa nhima awe wo nrima awe wonkhaye.”
