1 Mhela wula walanguswa nawamlutila Yesu, nawamuuza, “Yalikohi yawele mkulu ng'hatu kuli undewa wa kilanga?” 2 Yesu nakamchema mwana yumwe, kamwimiza hagati hawo, 3 hamba nakalonga, “Ndanguwalonjelani ndikomya, wone hamgaluche na kuwa kota wana wadodo, hamkwinjila hebu kuli Undewa wa Nguluwi kilanga.” 4 Yoneche yochihanyisa kota mwana ayu, ayo ndo yawele mkulu kuli undewa wa kilanga. 5 Yoneche yombochela mwana yumwe kota ayu kwa itagwa lyangu, kangumbochela heni.
Chambuzo cha gehile
(Malichi 9:42-48; Lukasi 17:1-2)
6 “Yoneche yomwambuza kuwifya yumwe wa awa wana wadodo walingung'hunda, yowa inoga yafunjigwe iganga likulu lya lwala na kukabajizwa kuli lwene lwa bahali. 7 Yochona isi yeng'ha kwa mbuli ya majezo ga kudita gehile. Majezo ago igana galawile, ila kochona yula munhu yula yovyambuza.
8 “Wone moko ama mgulu wa hegwe ukwambuze kikwang'hwala, udumule na kuutaga kutali na hegwe. Chiba kwa hegwe kwinjila kuli ukomu kuno ulihela moko ama magulu kuwala kutagwa kuli chiluli cha mazuwa gose ne kuduma uwele na moko meli na magulu meli. 9 Na iziho lyako wone likwambuze kikwang'hwala, wuse na kulitaga kutali na hegwe. Inoga kwa hegwe kwinjila kuli ukomu kuno uwele na iziho limwe, uleka kutajigwa kuli chiluli cha Jehanamu uwele na meho ga hegwe geng'ha meli.

Ndanguwalonjelani, wahilisi wa kilanga wabaho mazuwa gose kumwando ha Mhaza wa heni yawele kilanga. 11 Mina mwana wa munhu nakoya kuwalohola wala wajilile. 12 Mwangona ndaze?

Wone yakuhuliche kowa umpatile mng'holozo. 16 Wone halingukuhulika, mhole munhu yumwe ama weli hamwe na hegwe, leka kwa udedezi wa walolezi weli ama wadatu, chila nongwa yoditikwa. 17 Wone hambe yawahuliche awo, chilonjele chilundo cha wanhu walingumkunda Kilistu. Na wone hambe yahuliche chilundo cha wanhu walingumkunda Kilistu, na yawe kwa hegwe kota wanhu wohawamzelele Nguluwi na wakongoza sendi.

18 “Ndanguwalonjelani ndikomya, chila chomuhinda muisi chohindigwa kilanga, na chila chomchumula muisi chochumuligwa kilanga. 19 Kahi ndanguwalonjelani ndikomya, weli wa hemwe wakundile kuwa hamwe hano muisi kwa mbuli yoneche ya kulanda, Mhaza wa heni wa kilanga kowaditila mbuli yiyo. 20 Kwa vila heng'ha hala walingiting'hana weli ama wadatu kwa itagwa lya heni, heni ndabaho hali hewo.”
Malanguso ga chitumagwa yalemwelile kumlechela miyage
21 Hamba Petili kamlutila Yesu, kamuuza, “Mkulu, ndaze, mng'holozangu wone yanditile vibi, ndimleche lwa kalinga? Mala saba?” 22 Yesu nakamwidichila, “Silingulonga mala saba hela,” Ila makumi saba mala saba. 23 Ndo mina undewa wa kilanga ufanda kota mndewa yumwe yaganile kukagula uwazo wa vitumagwa wa heye. 24 Kukagula lokwaluche, kegalilwa munhu yumwe yawele daigwa sendi elufu kumi. 25 Munhu ayo yalihela chinhu cha kuhilusa, ahyo mkulu wa heye nakagana yaguzigwe heye na mchewake na wanage na vinhu vyeng'ha vyoyalinavyo, kulipila lila deni. 26 Lelo ayo chitumagwa kafugama kumwando ha heye, nakalonga, “Umbeteze na heni ndolipa deni lyeng'ha.” 27 Yula mkulu na kamonela isungu, kamlechela lila deni, kamlechela yalute.
28 “Ila ayo chitumagwa nakoka, kamfika yumwe wa vitumagwa wayage yawele na deni lya heye sendi denali miya imwe. Kamibata, kamdinga lumelo yolonga, ‘Ulipe deni lyako!’ 29 Ayo chitumagwa miyage kamfugamila, kamlanda, ‘Umbeteze nani ndokulipa!’ 30 Ila heye haviganile, leka kamuwika mchinweng'ho mbaka hoyolipa deni.
31 “Lelo vitumagwa wayage vyowawene mbuli ayo wawa na masinzo ng'hatu, nawaluta kumlonjela mkulu wa hewo mbuli ilawile. 32 Aho yula mkulu kamchema ayo chitumagwa, nakumlonjela, ‘Hegwe kwa chitumagwa wihile ng'hatu! Nakundanda nani ndikulechela ideni lya hegwe lyeng'ha. 33 Ndaze, haikuganile nagwe kumonela isungu chitumagwa muyago kota heni vyondikonele isungu?’ 34 Lelo ayo mkulu nakazudila lukami, nakamlavya ayo chitumagwa yagazigwe mbaka baho hoyolipa deni lyeng'ha.”
35 Yesu nakasindila kwa kulonga, “Na Mhaza wa heni yawele kilanga kowaditilani hihyo wone chila yumwe wa hemwe yolema kumlechela mng'holoze kwa nhumbula ya heye yeng'ha.”
