Injili irivyoandikpwa ni

LUKA

Tanga mbere

Muandishi wa chitabu hichi ni dakitari Luka yekala msaidizi wa mtume Paulo (soma Baruwa yoandikirwa Akolosai 4:14; Baruwa ya Phiri yoandikirwa Timothi 4:11 na Baruwa yoandikirwa Filemoni 24). Piya ndiye yeandika chitabu cha Mahendo ga Mitume.

Injili irivyoandikpwa ni Luka inaonyesa kukala Mlungu anamendza chila mutu, na kukala Jesu wakpwedza duniani ili aokole chila mutu. Sura ya 19:10 Jesu mwenye anaamba, “Mimi, Mutu Yela Mlunguni, nákpwedza ili niendze na kutivya atu arioangamika.” Hasa Luka anasemurira vira Jesu arivyoterya hara ambao kala anaharirwa kukala ni enye dambi, kama atoza kodi (3:12–13; 5:27–32 na 18:9–14), na hara ambao kala anaharirwa kukala taana mana, kama ajeni (7:1–10; 9:51–55 na 17:11–19) na achetu (1:5–7, 1:26–56; 2:36–38; 7:11–17; 8:1–3; 13:10–13; 23:27–29 na 24:1–10).

Ndarira zinazohumirwa kuonyesa mendzwa ya Mlungu kpwa atu ni kama vira: Msamariya mnono (10:25–37), ngʼondzi roangamika (15:1–7) na mwana yetubu bada ya kumkosera ise (15:11–32). Mambo Luka anagosisitiza kula mwandzo hadi mwisho wa chitabu hichi ni mavoyo, kazi ya Roho Mtakatifu, kazi ya achetu kumuhumikira Jesu, habari nono kpwa achiya na msamaha wa dambi.

Kuvyalwa kpwa Johana Mʼbatizadzi kunasemwa

51:5 1 Nyakati 24:10Wakati Herode kala ni mfalume wa tsi ya Judea, kpwakala kuna mlavyadzi-sadaka mmwenga yeihwa Zakariya. Mutu hiye wahenda kazi na chikundi cha Abija. Mchewe kala ni Elizabethi, naye piya kala ni wa chivyazi cha Aruni. 6Osi airi kala ni atu a kumuogopha Mlungu, alunga shariya za Mlungu na malagizoge gosi bila lawama tse. 7Ela kala taana mwana, mana Elizabethi kala ni tasa, tsona osi airi kala ni atumia sana.

8Siku mwenga, kala ni zuma ra chikundi cha Zakariya kulavya sadaka. 9Mila yao kala ni kupiga kura kutsambula mmwenga kuinjira Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu kufukiza ubani, na siku iyo kura yamgbwerera Zakariya. 10Wakati Zakariya kala anafukiza ubani himo ndani, kundi rosi ra atu kala rinavoya hiko kondze.

11Phahi Malaika wa Mlungu wamtsembukira mo ndani, achiima mkpwono wa kulume wa phatu pha kufukizira uvumba. 12Zakariya ariphomuona yuya malaika wakala na wasiwasi na achiogopha. 13Ela malaika achimuamba, “Usiogophe Zakariya! Mlungu wasikira mavoyogo na mcheo Elizabethi andavyala mwana mlume. Nawe undamuiha Johana. 14Ni raha ya viphi yo ndiyokala nayo, na atu anji andahererwadze ndiphovyalwa ye mwana! 151:15 Isabu 6:3Mlungu andamuona mutu muhimu. Ni lazima asinwe uchi wala asihumire ulevi wa aina yoyosi, na andatawalwa ni Roho Mtakatifu hangu ndanini mwa nine. 16Na andaaelekeza Aiziraeli anji kumuogopha Mlungu wao tsona. 171:17 Malaki 4:5–6Andamtanguliya Mlungu na nguvu na uwezo dza viratu nabii Elija. Andaapatanisha ano baba na ana ao; andaagaluza atu asiomuogopha Mlungu kukala na maazo ga kumuogopha Mlungu na andamtayarishira Mlungu atue.” 18Zakariya achimuuza yuya malaika, “Nindamanyadze kala mambo higa gandahendeka kpweli? Mimi ni mtumia sana na mkpwazangu naye piya ni mtumia.” 191:19 Danieli 8:16; 9:21Malaika achimuamba, “Mimi ni Gaburaeli, niimaye mbere za Mlungu kumuhumikira, na nkahumwa nedze nikuambire higa mambo manono. 20Sikiza, undakala bwibwi kpwa sababu kukaamini maneno gangu, ambago gandakala wakatiwe uchifika. Kundagomba hadi higo chigokuambira gahendeke.”

21Wakati hinyo, hara atu kura kondze kala anamgodzera Zakariya kuno akatezeka kpwadze anakaa mo ndani ya Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu. 22Ariphotuluka kondze, achikala kaweza kubisha nao. Ndipho hara atu achimanya kala Zakariya akaphaha ruwiya mo ndani ya Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu. Kayaweza kugomba ela kala anabisha nao na mikono.

23Zakariya ariphomala zumare, waphiya kaya. 24Badaye mchewe Elizabethi wagbwira mimba. Wadzifwitsa nyumbani miezi mitsano. 25Waamba, “Sambi Mlungu akaniterya, akaniusira waibu nriokala nao mbere za atu.”

Malaika anatangaza kuvyalwa kpwa Jesu

26Mwezi wa sita wa mimba ya Elizabethi, yuya malaika Gaburaeli wahumwa ni Mlungu aphiye mudzi wa Nazareti ko jimbo ra Galilaya, 271:27 Mathayo 1:18kpwa msichana mmwenga mwanamwali aihwaye Maryamu. Hiye Maryamu kala ni mchumba wa mutu yeihwa Yusufu ambaye kala ni chivyazi cha Mfalume Daudi. 28Malaika ariphofika kpwa Maryamu achimuamba, “Togola we umendzwaye sana! Mlungu wakujaliya.”

29Maryamu wayugika sana na maneno higa, na achidziuza mana ya mwadzo hinyo. 30Malaika achimuamba, “Usiogophe Maryamu, mana Mlungu wakujaliya. 311:31 Mathayo 1:21Sikiza, undagbwira mimba na undavyala mwana mlume na undamuiha Jesu. 321:32 2 Samueli 7:12–13,16; Isaya 9:7Naye andakala mkpwulu na andaihwa mwana wa Mwenyezi Mlungu. Bwana Mlunguo andamuhenda mfalume dza mkarewe Daudi. 33Naye andakala mfalume wa atu a chivyazi cha Jakobo hata kare na kare, na utawalawe taundakala na mwisho.”

34Maryamu achimuuza yuya malaika, “Gandakaladze gano, na bado mino nchere mwanamwali?” 35Achiambwa, “Undakpwedzerwa ni Roho Mtakatifu na nguvu za Mwenyezi Mlungu zindakufwinika. Kpwa hivyo ndiyevyalwa andaihwa Mtakatifu, Mwana wa Mlungu. 36Piya umanye kala mʼbario Elizabethi ana mimba ya mwana mlume, hata dzagbwe atu kala achiamba ni tasa; phamwenga na utumiawe, huno ni mweziwe wa sita. 371:37 Mwandzo 18:14Mana kpwa Mlungu takuna rorosi risirowezekana.” 38Maryamu achiamba, “Mimi ni muja wa Mlungu, naikale kama uchivyoamba.” Alafu yuya malaika achiuka.

Maryamu ayamlamusa Elizabethi

39Phahi, bada ya muda, Maryamu waphiya mara mwenga kpwa Elizabethi, mudzi mmwenga urio myango ya Juda. 40Wamenya nyumbani mwa Zakariya na achendalamusa Elizabethi. 41Elizabethi ariphosikira mwadzo wa Maryamu, yuya mwana mura ndanini wasumba. Chisha Elizabethi walongozwa ni Roho Mtakatifu, 42achikota kululu achiamba, “Wajaliwa kuriko achetu osi na hiye ndiyemvyala piya wajaliwa! 43Ni ajabu ya viphi yo, nine wa Bwana wangu kpwedza kpwangu kunijambosa! 44Lola! Nchiphosikira mwadzoo tu, mwanangu himu ndanini akasumba-sumba kpwa raha. 45Wajaliwa uwe yeamini kala gandahendeka gara ambago Mlungu wakuambira!”

Shairi ra Maryamu

46Naye Maryamu achiamba:

“Roho yangu inamtogola Mlungu,

47na inahererwa kpwa sababu ya Mlungu Muokoli wangu.

481:48 1 Samueli 1:11Kpwa mana Mlungu wanionera mbazi mimi mtumishiwe mnyonje.

Hangu sambi vivyazi vyosi vindaniiha yejaliwa.

49Kpwa sababu Mlungu wa Uwezo Wosi wanihendera mambo makulu,

naye dzinare ni takatifu.

50Andaaonera mbazi atu amuogophao, vivyazi na vivyazi.

51Wahenda mambo makulu na uwezowe;

waatsamula atu a mioyo ya kudzikarya.

521:52 Ayubu 5:11; 12:19Waausira ufalume wao afalume akulu-akulu,

na achiahenda muhimu anyonje.

53Waamvunisa andzala na mambo manono-manono,

ela achiausa matajiri mikono mihuphu.

54Waaterya Aiziraeli atumishie,

na achiaonera mbazi,

551:55 Mwandzo 17:7 1:55 1 Samueli 2:1–10Burahimu na uvyaziwe hata kare na kare,

kama vyoalaga akare ehu.”

56Maryamu wasagala kama miezi mihahu na Elizabethi, ndipho achiuya kaya.

Johana Mʼbatizadzi anavyalwa

57Wakati wa kuvyala uriphofika, Elizabethi wavyala mwana mlume. 58Ndugu na majirani ga Elizabethi ariphosikira kala Mlungu akamjaliya mwana, ahererwa piya.

591:59 Alawi 12:3Mwana ariphokala akamala sabaa mwenga, akpwedza atu achimdeka, na atu kala analonda amuihe dzina ra Zakariya, dzina ra ise. 60Ela nine achiamba, “Hata! Kandaihwa hivyo, ela ni aihwe Johana.” 61Hara atu achimuamba, “Ni mʼbario ani aihwaye Johana?” 62Phahi, abisha na mikono na ise wa yuya mwana ili amanye analonda kumuiha ani. 63Hipho, Zakariya wavoya chibao cha kuandikira, achiandika hivi: “Dzinare ni Johana.” Na atu osi achiona ajabu! 64Phapho hipho Zakariya achivugulwa kauli, achimtogola Mlungu. 65Majirani osi aangalala na achiogopha. Mambo higo gaenea seemu za gambani za tsi yosi ya Judea. 66Osi ariosikira mambo higo aririkana mwao mioyoni na achiamba, “Mwana yuno andakala mutu wa viphi?” Mana kala ni wazi kala uwezo wa Mlungu kala u phamwenga naye.

Shairi ra Zakariya

67Alafu Zakariya ise wa Johana, walongozwa ni Roho Mtakatifu na achiaambira atu maneno ga Mlungu:

68“Naatogolwe Bwana Mlungu wa Iziraeli,

mana wakpwedza kuterya na kukombola atue.

69Wahurehera muokoli wa uwezo mkpwulu,

kula kpwa chivyazi cha mtumishiwe Daudi,

70kama arivyolaga hipho kare, ariphohumira manabiige matakatifu,

71kukala andahuokola kula kpwa maadui gehu

na atu osi ariohuzira.

72Mlungu waamba andaonera mbazi akare ehu,

na andatimiza ahadiye takatifu.

73Ahadiye yomlaga mkare wehu Burahimu:

74Kukala andahutivya kula kpwa maadui gehu

na andahujaliya ili humhumikire bila wuoga,

75piya hudzitenge kumuhumikira Mlungu,

na hulunge haki siku zosi za maisha gehu.

761:76 Malaki 3:1Nawe mwanangu, undaihwa nabii wa Mwenyezi Mlungu,

mana undatanguliya Mlungu kumtayarishira njiraze,

77kuatangazira atue kukala andaaokola,

kpwa kuswamehewa dambi zao.

78Mlungu wehu ni mpole na wa mbazi;

andahurehera mwanga wa dzuwa wa wokofu kula mlunguni.

791:79 Isaya 9:2Undaangʼarira atu ario jizani,

ambaro ni dalili ya chifo,

na undahuelekeza maisha ga salama.”

80Phahi, yuya mwana wakula, na achiphera chiroho. Naye wasagala vidze-vidze hadi siku ariyotsembukira Aiziraeli chingʼangʼa.

Kuvyalwa kpwa Jesu

(Mathayo 1:18–25)

1Siku hizo Kaisari Agusto, Mtawala wa Chirumi, walagiza atu osi akalao tsi zitawalwazo ni Arumi atalwe. 2Hino yakala isabu ya atu ya kpwandza wakati Kirenio kala ndiye mkpwulu wa tsi ya Siria. 3Phahi, chila mmwenga waphiya mudzi wa kpwao kpwendadziandikisha kutalwa. 4Yusufu piya wauka kula mudzi wa Nazareti tsi ya Galilaya kuphiya Bethilehemu tsi ya Judea, kovyalwa Mfalume Daudi. Waphiya hiko kpwa sababu kala ni chivyazi cha Daudi. 5Wakpwendadziandikisha phamwenga na mchumbawe Maryamu ambaye kala ana mimba. 6Ariphokala hiko Bethilehemu, wakatiwe wa kudzivugula uchifika, 7naye Maryamu wadzivugula mwanawe wa kpwandza, mwana mlume. Phahi wamuhala ye mwana achimfunga-funga nguwo na achimlaza chidau cha kutiira mifugo chakurya. Vivi vyahendeka kpwa sababu zo nyumba za ajeni kala zikaodzala atu.

Arisa anaambirwa habari ni malaika

8Uphande uho kala kuna arisa ambao kala anarinda mbuzi na mangʼondzi gao usiku ko weruni. 9Malaika wa Mlungu waatsembukira na mwanga wa Mlungu uchiangʼarira pande zosi, nao achitishirwa sana. 10Ela malaika achiaambira, “Msiogophe! Nkakureherani habari nono za raha sana kpwa atu osi. 11Mana rero, hiko mudzi wa Daudi, Muokoli wenu akavyalwa, naye ndiye Bwana Muokoli. 12Na hivi hino ndiyo ndokala dalili ya kukumanyisani: Mundakuta mwana mtsanga akafungbwa-fungbwa nguwo, na akalazwa ndani ya chidau cha kutiira mifugo chakurya.”

13Gafula kundi kulu ra malaika a mlunguni akala phamwenga na yuya malaika wanjina na achimtogola Mlungu, achiamba:

14“Naatogolwe Mlungu dzulu mlunguni,

na atu ambao anamuhamira Mlungu naakale salama duniani!”

15Hara malaika ariphouka kuuya mlunguni, hara arisa abisha achiambirana, “Huphiyeni Bethilehemu hukarioneni rira chirohendeka na chiroambirwa ni Mlungu.” 16Phahi, auka upesi na achendamuona Maryamu na Yusufu na yuya mwana mtsanga akalazwa ndani ya chidau cha kutiira mifugo chakurya. 17Ariphomuona yuya mwana, asemurira gara ambago aambirwa ni malaika kuhusu ye mwana. 18Osi ariosikira habari hizo za arisa aangalala. 19Ela Maryamu wagaika rohoni mambo gosi higa, na achikala anagaririkana sana. 20Hara arisa auya kpwao, kuno anamtogola Mlungu na kumshukuru kpwa gara gogasikira na kugaona, ambago gakala viratu vyoambirwa ni malaika.

Jesu anaphirikpwa kpwenye Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu

212:21 Alawi 12:3; Luka 1:31Bada ya sabaa mwenga, kala ni wakati wa kutiya tsatsani yuya mwana na kumupha dzina; amuiha Jesu, dzina ambaro ralaviwa ni malaika hata kabila nine kadzangbwegbwira mimba.

22Maryamu ariphomala mirongo mine kala ni wakati wa iye na Yusufu kutakaswa, kama vyolagiza Shariya za Musa. Phahi amphirika mwana wao Jerusalemu kumuonyesa Mlungu, 232:23 Kutsama 13:2–12kama Shariya ya Mlungu vyoandikpwa: “Chila mwana mlume yevyalwa kpwandza ni atengbwe kpwa kazi ya Mlungu.” 242:24 Alawi 12:6–8Piya alavya sadaka kulengana na Shariya ya Mlungu, ambayo inaamba, “Sadaka ya njiya airi au ana njiya manga airi.”

25Wakati hinyo hiko Jerusalemu, kala kuna mutu mmwenga aihwaye Simioni, mutu wa haki ariyekala anamuogopha Mlungu. Naye kala anagodza wokofu wa Aiziraeli, na Roho Mtakatifu kala a phamwenga naye. 26Roho Mtakatifu kala akamhakikishira kukala kandafwa hadi amuone yuya Masihi.2:26 Masihi manage ni mutu yetsambulwa ni Mlungu kuokola atu.27Simioni walongozwa ni Roho Mtakatifu na achiinjira Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu. Avyazi a Jesu ariphomreha mwana wao himo ndani ili amuhendere vira Shariya ilondavyo, 28Simioni wamphokera achikala naye mikononi na achimtogola Mlungu achiamba:

29“Sambi, Mlungu Mtawala wangu, ukanitimizira ahadiyo,

niricha mtumishio nifwe pore.

30Mana nkamuona Muokoli kula kpwako

31ambaye wamtayarisha kpwa atu osi.

322:32 Isaya 42:6; 49:6; 52:10Ni mwanga ndiongʼarira atu ambao sio Aiziraeli

kuaonyesa mendzwayo,

na ni mwanga wa kureha nguma kpwa atuo Aiziraeli.”

33Avyazi a Jesu aangalazwa ni maneno ga Simioni kuhusu mwana wao. 34Alafu Simioni waajaliya, na achimuamba nine wa Jesu, “Mwana hiyu andakala sababu ya Aiziraeli anji kuangamika na anji kuokoka, na andakala dalili ndiyopingbwa ni atu. 35Hivyo maazo ga atu anji gandakala chingʼangʼa. Piya utsungu undakulumiza roho dza upanga udungavyo mwiri.”

36Mumo Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu kala muna nabii wa chichetu mzehe sana, dzinare kala ndiye Ana, mwana wa Fanueli, kabila ra Asheri. Bada ya kulólwa waishi na mlume miaka sabaa, 37alafu wakala gungu hadi wakati huno, ambapho kala ana miaka mirongo minane na mine. Wakati wosi nabii Ana kala katuluka Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu, kpwa kumuabudu usiku na mutsi, kufunga na kuvoya. 38Wakati uratu ura, Ana wadzituluza mbere zao, achimshukuru Mlungu na achigomba na atu osi okala anagodza wakati Mlungu ndiphoikombola Jerusalemu. Phahi wagomba nao kuhusu yuya mwana.

Yusufu na Maryamu anauya Nazareti

392:39 Mathayo 2:23Yusufu na Maryamu ariphomala mambo gosi ambago kala ni agahende kulengana na Shariya za Mlungu, auya kaya, mudzi wa Nazareti, jimbo ra Galilaya. 40Yuya mwana wakula, achikala na nguvu na achili, na Mlungu achimjaliya.

Jesu ndani ya Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu

412:41 Kutsama 12:1–27; Kumbukumbu 16:1–8Chila mwaka avyazi a Jesu kala achiphiya Jerusalemu wakati wa Sikukuu ya Pasaka. 42Jesu ariphokala na miaka kumi na miiri, waphiya sikukuuni na avyazie, kama vyokala desturi. 43Sikukuu iriphosira, avyazie aandza charo cha kuuya, ela Jesu wasala Jerusalemu bila ya avyazie kumanya. 44Aona mwana wao a mo kundini, nao achisafiri mwendo wa kutwa ndzima, ndipho achiandza kuuza-uza kpwa ndugu na asena. 45Ariphokala taamuona, auya Jerusalemu kpwendamuendza. 46Siku ya hahu amkuta ndani ya Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu, asegere na alimu, anaaphundza na kuauza maswali. 47Chila mmwenga yemsikira watezeka kpwa achiliye na majibuge. 48Avyazie ariphomuona, aangalala. Alafu nine achimuamba, “Mwanangu, mbona ukahuhenda hivi? Mimi na sowe hukaangaika sana kukuendza.” 49Naye achiamba, “Kala munaniendzerani? Tamyamanya kukala ni nikale nyumbani mwa Baba?” 50Ela aho taayamuelewa vira arivyoaambira.

51Hipho, Jesu wauya kaya Nazareti na avyazie, na achikala anaaogopha. Ela nine wagaika rohoni mambo gosi higa. 522:52 1 Samueli 2:26; Misemo 3:4Phahi, Jesu waenderera kukula chimo na achili, achizidi kumuhamira Mlungu na atu.

Johana Mʼbatizadzi anahubiri

(Mathayo 3:1–12; Mariko 1:1–8; Johana 1:19–28)

1Mwaka wa kumi na tsano wa utawala wa Kaisari Tiberiyo, mfalume mkpwulu wa tsi zosi zotawalwa ni Arumi, Pontio Pilato kala anatawala jimbo ra Judea. Herode kala anatawala jimbo ra Galilaya, na nduguye Filipu kala anatawala majimbo ga Iturea na Tirakoniti, naye Lusania kala anatawala Abilene. 2Anasi na Kayafa kala ni akulu a alavyadzi-sadaka. Wakati hinyo Johana mwana wa Zakariya kala a weruni na Mlungu achimlagiza aandze kazi ya kuhubiri. 3Phahi, Johana waphiya seemu zosi zophakana na muho Joridani kuno anahubiri, kuamba, “Tubuni dambi mʼbatizwe ili Mlungu akuswameheni.” 43:4 Isaya 40:3–5Kala anahubiri kama vyoandikpwa ni nabii Isaya kuamba:

“Kuna mutu anakota kululu hiko weruni kuaambira atu:

‘Mtsengerani Mwenyezi Mlungu njira na muigolose.

5Chila dete narisirirwe,

chila mwango na chidzango navihendwe herera,

phariphobeta naphagoloswe,

na njira mbii nazitengezwe zikale nono.

6Anadamu osi andaona wokofu wa Mlungu.’ ”

73:7 Mathayo 12:34; 23:33Hipho, atu anji akpwedza ili abatizwe ni Johana, naye achiaamba, “Ehe, nyoka mwi! Mnalonda kuchimbira adabu ya Mlungu yedzayo bila ya kutubu kpweli! Iyo siyo sababu nono ya kukala mnalonda mʼbatizwe! 83:8 Johana 8:33Haya onyesani na mahendo genu kala kpweli mkatubu. Na msidzichenge mukaamba, ‘Swino huna haki kpwa kukala hu ana a Burahimu.’ Nakuambirani kpweli kala Mlungu anaweza kugaluza hata mawe higa gakakala ana a Burahimu. 93:9 Mathayo 7:19Hata vivi sambi uamuli wa Mlungu u tayari, dza mbadzo iriyo tayari kubwaga muhi. Chila muhi usiovyala matunda manono undakatwa utsuphiwe mohoni.”

10Alafu hara atu amuuza Johana, “Sambi swino huendedze?” 11Naye achiaambira, “Ariye na nguwo mbiri, naamuphe mwenga myawe asiye na nguwo, na ariye na chakurya naamganyire myawe ambaye kana.” 123:12 Luka 7:29Atoza kodi piya nao akpwedza ili abatizwe, achimuuza, “Mwalimu, dze naswi huhendedze?” 13Naye achiaambira, “Msitoze kodi zaidi ya chipimo choikpwa.” 14Na asikari nao achimuuza, “Dze, swino huhendedze?” Achiaambira, “Msihale pesa za atu kpwa nguvu wala msizige mutu. Toshekani na mishahara yenu.”

15Atu okala hipho kala ana dzuphi, na osi achidziuza rohoni kuhusu Johana, achiamba, “Mendzerepho hiyu ndiye Yetsambulwa ni Mlungu Kuokola Atu.”3:15 Yani Masihi.16Ndipho Johana ariphogomba na atu osi, achiamba, “Mimi nakubatizani na madzi; ela aredza mutu ambaye ana uwezo zaidi yangu, ambaye mimi sifwaha hata kuvula virahuvye. Naye andakubatizani na Roho Mtakatifu na moho. 17Iye ana lungore mkpwononi, na a tayari kupheha nganu na aitiye chitsagani. Ela maphephe andagatsupha mohoni, moho usiofwa.” 18Hipho, Johana watangaza habari nono kula kpwa Mlungu; waaonya na achiakalata ahende mambo manono, naye wahumira mifwano minji tafwauti-tafwauti.

193:19 Mathayo 14:3–4; Mariko 6:17–18Johana piya wamkanya mtawala Herode, mana kala akalóla Herodiya mkpwaza nduguye, na mambo ganjina mai manji ambago kala akahenda. 20Chisha Herode wazidisha ubayawe kpwa kumtiya jela Johana.

Jesu anabatizwa

(Mathayo 3:13–17; Mariko 1:9–11)

21Atu osi ariphokala anabatizwa, Jesu naye wabatizwa. Na phokala anavoya Mlungu, mlunguni kpwafwenuka, 223:22 Mwandzo 22:2; Zaburi 2:7; Isaya 42:1; Mathayo 3:17; Mariko 1:11; Luka 9:35na Roho Mtakatifu achitserera dza mfwano wa njiya na achigbwerera Jesu mwirini. Chisha kpwatuluka sauti kula mlunguni ichiamba, “Uwe ndiwe mwanangu nikumendzaye, nawe unanihamira sana.”

Jesu anajezwa ni Shetani

(Mathayo 4:1–17; Mariko 1:12–15)

1Jesu wauya na uwezo mkpwulu wa Roho Mtakatifu kula muho Joridani, na achilongozwa ni Roho hadi weruni, 2hiko Jesu wakala siku mirongo mine kuno anajezwa ni Shetani. Siku zosi hizo kayarya chitu, badaye wasikira ndzala. 3Shetani achimuamba, “Ichikala kpweli u Mwana wa Mlungu, riambire hiri dziwe rigaluke mkpwahe.” 44:4 Kumbukumbu 8:3Jesu achimjibu achiamba, “Yaandikpwa kukala, ‘Mwanadamu kandaishi kpwa chakurya bahi.’ ”

5Chisha Shetani achiphiya naye hadi phatu phokala dzulu, mara mwenga achimuonyesa falume zosi za dunia. 6-7Alafu achimuamba, “Uchiniabudu, nindakupha uwezo wa kutawala falume zosi hizi na manono gosi garigo himo, kpwa mana náhewa na naweza kumupha yeyesi nilondaye. Kpwa iyo uchinivoya, vivi vyosi vindakala vyako.” 84:8 Kumbukumbu 6:13Jesu achimuamba, “Yaandikpwa, ‘Mvoye Mwenyezi Mlungu, Mlunguo na umuhumikire iye macheye.’ ”

9Chisha Shetani achimuhala hadi mudzi wa Jerusalemu achendamuimisa chirere cha Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu. Achimuamba, “Ichikala u Mwana wa Mlungu, tina ugbwe, 104:10 Zaburi 91:11–12mana yaandikpwa, ‘Mlungu andalagiza malaikawe akurinde sawa-sawa, 11naye andakuunula, ili usedze ukakpwala dziwe.’ ” 124:12 Kumbukumbu 6:16Ela Jesu achimjibu achiamba, “Neno ra Mlungu rinaamba, ‘Usimjeze Bwana Mlunguo.’ ” 13Phahi, Shetani wamala kumjeza Jesu, achiuka achimricha hadi muda wanjina.

14Jesu wauya Galilaya kuno analongozwa ni uwezo wa Roho Mtakatifu. Habarize zichienea seemu zosi za jirani. 15Phahi wafundza mo masinagogini mwao, na chila mmwenga achimtogola.

Atu a Nazareti anamkahala Jesu

(Mathayo 13:53–58; Mariko 6:1–6)

16Jesu waphiya Nazareti, ambako ndiko korerwa, na Siku ya Kuoya wainjira sinagogini kama vyokala kawaidaye. Achiima ili asome maandiko. 17Wahewa Chitabu cha nabii Isaya, achichivugula na achisoma phatu phoandikpwa kuhusu Masihi phoamba hivi:

184:18 Isaya 61:1–2“Roho Mtakatifu a phamwenga nami,

mana wanitsambula niarehere achiya habari nono.

Akanihuma niatangazire afungbwa kuvugulwa kpwao

na niatangazire vipofu kala andaona,

kuaika huru aonerwao, 19na kutangaza

mwaka ambao Mwenyezi Mlungu andaonyesa mbazize.”

20Ariphomala kuasomera, wafunga chitabu, achimuuyizira mtumishi na achisagala. Chila mmwenga mo sinagogini wamtongʼorera matso. 21Alafu Jesu achiamba, “Rero maneno higa gakatimiya, kula wakati mchiphosikira nagasoma.”

22Atu osi amtogola, na achiangalazwa ni manenoge mazuri achigogomba. Chisha achiuzana, “Yuno siye yuya mwana wa Yusufu?” 23Naye achiaambira, “Namanya mundaniamba msemo huno: ‘Ichikala u mganga dzilagule mwenye!’ Piya mundaniamba, ‘Mbona phano phenu laloni kuhenda mambo dza higo hurigosikira hiko Kaperinaumu?’ 244:24 Johana 4:44Ela nakuambirani kpweli kala nabii kamendzwa phao laloni. 254:25 1 Afalume 17:1Nakuhakikishirani kala, zamani za nabii Elija, Iziraeli kala kuna magungu anji, kuriphokosekana mvula miaka mihahu na nusu na kuchikala na ndzala kali tsi ndzima. 264:26 1 Afalume 17:8–16Ela nabii Elija kayahumwa kpwa yeyesi hiko, ela kpwa gungu yesagala Sareputa, tsi ya Sidoni. 274:27 2 Afalume 5:1–14Tsona wakati wa nabii Elisha, Iziraeli kala kuna akongo anji a mahana, ela takuna hata mmwenga yephozwa isiphokala Naamani kula tsi ya Siria.”

28Jesu phogomba hivyo, atu osi ariokala mo sinagogini areya sana. 29Phahi aunuka achimtuluza kondze ya mudzi, aphiya naye hadi mchechemo wa mwango phodzengbwa mudzi wao, ili amsukume ko tsini mavoromokoni. 30Ela achitsapa na pho kahi-kahi za atu achiphiya vyakpwe.

Jesu anaphoza mutu wa pepho

(Mariko 1:21–28)

31Alafu Jesu waphiya Kaperinaumu, mudzi wa Galilaya, na Siku ya Kuoya, wainjira sinagogini achiandza kufundza. 324:32 Mathayo 7:28–29Atu aangalazwa ni mafundzoge, kpwa kukala kala anafundza na uwezo.

33Mo sinagogini kala muna mutu yekala na pepho, na achikala anakota kululu, 34anaamba, “Unamini wee, Jesu wa Nazareti? Ukedzahumarigiza? Nakumanya! Uwe u Mutu wa Haki yela kpwa Mlungu.” 35Ela Jesu wamdemurira yuya pepho, achimuamba, “Nyamala na utuluke!” Alafu yuya pepho wamʼbwaga yuya mutu pho mbere za atu, chisha achituluka bila ya kumlumiza. 36Atu osi aangalala na achibisha enye kpwa enye, achiamba, “Ni mafundzo ga viphi gano? Kpwa mana anademurira pepho kpwa uwezo na nguvu nao anatuluka!” 37Habarize zaenea chila phatu seemu hiyo.

Jesu anaphoza atu anji

(Mathayo 8:14–17; Mariko 1:29–34)

38Jesu wauka sinagogini na achiphiya kaya kpwa Simoni. Mtsedza mchetu wa Simoni kala ana homa kali, atu achimuamba Jesu amphoze. 39Phahi, waima phephi naye na achiridemurira rira homa riuke, na richiuka achiphola. Yuya mchetu waunuka na phapho hipho achiandza kuahumikira.

40Dzuwa phokala rinatswa, osi ariokala na akongo a chila aina, amrehera Jesu, naye achiabandikira mikono osi achiaphoza. 41Piya pepho atuluka atu anji, kuno anapiga kululu, anaamba, “Uwe ndiwe Mwana wa Mlungu!” Ela Jesu kala achiademurira, na kala kaaricha akagomba, mana kala anamanya kukala iye ndiye Masihi.

Jesu anatangaza neno ra Mlungu

(Mariko 1:35–39)

42Ligundzure, Jesu wauka achiphiya phatu kanda achendakala macheye. Atu achikala anamuendza na ariphomuona ajeza kumzuwiya asiariche machiyao. 43Ela achiaambira, “Ni lazima piya nikatangaze midzi yanjina habari nono kuhusu ufalume wa Mlungu, mana iyo ndiyo sababu yohenda nihumwe.”

44Phahi, waenderera kutangaza ujumbe mo masinagogini ko Judea ndzima.

Jesu anatsambula anafundzie a kpwandza

(Mathayo 4:18–22; Mariko 1:16–20)

15:1 Mathayo 13:1–2; Mariko 3:9–10; 4:1Siku mwenga, Jesu kala aimire kanda-kanda ya ziya ra Genesareti na phachikala pha tele atu anji anasukumana hata Jesu mwenye achikala anafyehwa. Nao kala akedzaphundza mafundzo ga Jesu kula kpwa Mlungu. 2Waona madau mairi pho kanda-kanda ya ziya, enye kala akatuluka anatsukutsa nyavu zao. 3Dau mwenga rakala ni ra Simoni; Jesu wapanda dau hiro ra Simoni na achimuamba arisengeze madzi manji chidide. Wasagala himo dauni na achifundza nyo atu.

4Ariphomala kufundza, wamuamba Simoni, “Phirika dau chinani, mkabwage nyavu zenu mvuwe ngʼonda.” 55:5 Johana 21:3Simoni achimuamba, “Bwana, usiku kucha hukahenda chadi cha kuvuwa, wala tahukaphaha chitu. Kpwa kukala ukaamba, hundabwaga nyavu huvuwe.” 65:6 Johana 21:6Phahi ariphoandza kuvuwa, agbwira ngʼonda anji hata nyavu zao zichiandza kudoka. 7Ariphoona hivyo, aatsuphira mikono ayawao okala dau ranjina ili edze aaterye. Nao ariphokpwedza aodzaza ngʼonda madau gosi mairi, hata phadide gahohe. 8Simoni Petero ariphoona hivyo, wamgbwerera Jesu maguluni, na achimuamba, “Bwana, tafadhali uka hipha, mana mino ni mutu wa dambi, sifwaha kukala na uwe!” 9Simoni na ayae aangalazwa ni vira arivyogbwira ngʼonda anji, 10nao Jakobo na Johana, ana a Zebedayo, ambao kala ni avuvi ayae piya aangalala. Alafu Jesu wamuamba Simoni, “Usiogophe! Hangu sambi na kpwenderera undavuwa atu.” 11Phahi, ariphotuluza madau gao kondze, aricha chila chitu na achimlunga Jesu.

Jesu anaphoza mutu wa mahana

(Mathayo 8:1–4; Mariko 1:40–45)

12Siku mwenga Jesu ariphokala mudzi fulani, kpwakpwedza mutu ana mahana mwiri mzima. Ariphomuona Jesu, wadzibwaga photsi chimabumabu mbereze na achimuamba, “Bwana, uchimendza unaweza kunitakasa.”5:12 Mutu wa mahana, kala ni najisi, kpwa hivyo kala karuhusiwa kuinjira Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu, kuguta ama kugutwa ni myawe. Na achiphozwa kala ni akadzionyese kpwa mlavyadzi-sadaka, ndipho aweze kutsanganyikana na atu.13Jesu wagolosa mkpwonowe achimguta yuya mutu wa mahana, achimuamba, “Ehe! Nalonda, takasika.” Phapho hipho mahana gachiyaya. 145:14 Alawi 14:1–32Chisha achimkahaza achimuamba, “Usimuambire mutu yeyesi! Ela phiya ukadzionyese kpwa mlavyadzi-sadaka na ulavye sadaka ya kutakaswa dza vyolagiza Musa, ili ukale ushaidi kpwa atu kala ukaphola kpweli.”

15Ela habari za Jesu zazidi kugota, hata atu anji achedzamphundza na kuphozwa makongo gao. 16Mara kpwa kano Jesu kala nkuphiya phatu kanda macheye achavoya Mlungu.

Jesu anaphoza mkpwongo wa kuphola vilungo

(Mathayo 9:1–8; Mariko 2:1–12)

17Siku mwenga, wakati Jesu kala anafundza, kpwakpwedza Mafarisayo na alimu a Shariya kula chila lalo ra Galilaya, na kula Judea na Jerusalemu. Jesu kala ana uwezo wa Mlungu wa kuphoza akongo, 18phahi phakpwedza atu akatsukula mutu wa kuphola vilungo mzega-mzega chitandani. Ajeza kumuinjiza ndani amphirikire Jesu, 19ela kpwa sababu ya hura umati wa atu uriokala hipho akosa phatu pha kuinjirira mo ndani. Phahi, apanda naye dzulu ya nyumba, achiusa vigae vichache na achimtsereza na chitandache hadi mbere za Jesu. 20Jesu ariphoona hara atu vira amkuluphiravyo, wamuamba yuya mkpwongo, “Msena wangu, dambizo zikaswamehewa.”

21Hara Mafarisayo na alimu a Shariya achiandza kudziuza chimoyo-moyo, achiamba, “Ni ani yuno ambaye anagomba kufuru? Takuna mutu awezaye kuswamehe dambi siphokala Mlungu macheye!” 22Jesu ariphomanya aazago, achiauza, “Kpwa utu wani munaaza hivyo mwenu mioyoni? 23Ni riphi ra rahisi, ni kumuamba mutu, ‘Dambizo zikaswamehewa,’ hebu ni kuamba, ‘Unuka uphiye vyako?’ 24Ela ili kukuhakikishirani kala mimi Mutu Yela Mlunguni nina uwezo wa kuswamehe dambi duniani, ninamuamba hiyu mkpwongo, ‘Unuka, hala chitandacho uphiye kpwako kaya.’ ”

25Mara mwenga yuya mkpwongo achiunuka, achiima pho mbere za atu, achihala tandikore achiphiya kaya kuno anamtogola Mlungu. 26Chila mmwenga waangalala sana na achimtogola Mlungu. Atishirwa sana na achiamba, “Rero hukaangirwa.”

Jesu anamtsambula Lawi

(Mathayo 9:9–13; Mariko 2:13–17)

27Badaye, Jesu watuluka kondze ya mudzi, achimuona muandishi mmwenga wa kodi aihwaye Lawi, asegere phakpwe ofisini. Achimuamba, “Nilunga.” 28Naye Lawi waunuka, achiricha chila chitu, achimlunga.

29Alafu Lawi wamuhendera Jesu karamu kulu phakpwe kaya, na kundi kulu ra atoza kodi na atu anjina ariokala achiharirwa kala ni achina-dambi akpwedzarya phamwenga nao. 305:30 Luka 15:1–2Phahi, Mafarisayo anjina na alimu aho a Shariya ariphoona gago, anungʼunika kuauza anafundzi a Jesu, “Mbona munarya na kunwa na atoza kodi na achina-dambi?” 31Jesu achiaambira, “Azima taana haja ya mganga, ela hara akongo ndio ario na haja ya mganga. 32Siyakpwedzaiha atu adzionao ana haki, ela nákpwedzaambira enye dambi atubu dambi zao.”

Jesu anauzwa kuhusu kufunga

(Mathayo 9:14–17; Mariko 2:18–22)

33Alafu atu anjina amuuza Jesu, “Anafundzi a Johana kano kpwa kano kala achifunga na kuvoya Mlungu, na hata anafundzi a Mafarisayo piya. Ela mbona anafundzio kazi yao ni kurya na kunwa bahi?” 34Jesu waambira, “Mchiaalika ajeni harusini, kpwa kpweli tamuweza kuahenda afunge na kuno bwana arusi a phamwenga nao. 35Ela kundakpwedza wakati ambapho ye bwana arusi andauswa asikale phamwenga nao. Hinyo ndio wakati ndiphofunga.”

Mafundzo ga kare na maphya tagagbwirana

36Chisha achiaambira mfwano hinyu: “Takuna mutu akataye chipande cha nguwo nyiphya akachitiya chiraka nguwo ya kare. Kpwa mana uchihenda hivyo undabananga hira nguwo nyiphya, na hicho chiraka tachindagbwa sawa na iyo nguwo ya kare. 37Wala takuna atiyaye uchi muphya viriba vya kare; mana achihenda hivyo vira viriba vindafutuka na viahuke, chisha uchi undamwagika na vyo viriba vindakala tavina mana. 38Ela uchi muphya ni lazima utiywe viriba viphya! 39Tsona phahi, takuna mutu anwaye uchi wa kare akaaza muphya, mana andaamba, ‘Hura wa kare ndio mnono.’ ”

Jesu anauzwa kuhusu Siku ya Kuoya

(Mathayo 12:1–8; Mariko 2:23–28)

16:1 Kumbukumbu 23:25Siku mwenga, kala ni Siku ya Kuoya, Jesu na anafundzie atsapira minda ya nganu. Anafundzie achikata masuche ga nganu, achigaphulula na kurya. 2Mafarisayo anjina achiauza, “Mbona munahenda dzambo ambaro si shariya kpwehu swiswi Ayahudi kuhendwa Siku ya Kuoya?”6:2 Shariya za Musa kala zinaruhusu atu kuphulula nganu wakati anatsupa na minda ya atu anjina (soma chitabu cha Kumbukumbu za Shariya 23:25.) Mafarisayo atsukirwa kpwa sababu anafundzi a Jesu kala anaona kukala anahenda kazi ya “kuvuna”, ambayo ni mwengayapho ya malagizo mirongo mine na tisiya ambago kala taaruhusiwa kugahenda siku ya kuoya (soma chitabu cha Kutsama 20:8–11 na 34:21, na chitabu cha Kumbukumbu za Shariya 5:12–15.)3Jesu achiaambira, “Kale tamdzangbwesoma arivyohenda Mfalume Daudi na ayae ariphosikira ndzala? 46:4 Alawi 24:9 6:4 1 Samueli 21:1–6Daudi wamenya hema ra kumuabudu Mlungu, achihala mabofulo gotengbwa kpwa kazi ya Mlungu na achiirya. Chishariya, alavyadzi-sadaka bahi ndiokala anaruhusiwa kugarya. Piya waapha ayae achirya.” 5Chimarigizo achiaambira, “Mutu Yela Mlunguni, ndiye mwenye uwezo wa mambo gosi ga Siku ya Kuoya.”6:5 Chiyunani chinaamba, ni Bwana hata wa siku ya kuoya.

Jesu anaphoza mutu Siku ya Kuoya

(Mathayo 12:9–14; Mariko 3:1–6)

6Siku yanjina ya Kuoya, Jesu wainjira sinagogini kufundza, na kala muna mutu ambaye mkpwonowe wa kulume wafuwa. 7Alimu a Shariya na Mafarisayo kala anaendza chizigbwa cha kumshitakira Jesu, hipho, amrorera ichikala andamphoza hiye mutu Siku ya Kuoya. 8Ela Jesu wamanya maazo gao, na achimuamba yuya mutu wa kufuwa mkpwono, “Ngʼoka wedze uime hipha.” Yuya mutu wangʼoka na achendaima hipho. 9Alafu Jesu achiaambira, “Nakuuzani, ni riphi ra shariya kuhenda Siku ya Kuoya? Ni mutu kuhenda manono hebu kuhenda mai? Ni kutivya mutu hebu kuolaga?” 10Waatongʼorera matso atu osi, chisha achimuamba yuya mkpwongo, “Golosa mkpwonoo.” Yuya mkpwongo achiugolosa, na uchikala mzima. 11Ela aho areya sana achibisha nyo enye kpwa enye achiamba, “Humuhendedze yuno Jesu?”

Jesu anatsambula anafundzie kumi na airi

(Mathayo 10:1–4; Mariko 3:13–19)

12Siku mwenga Jesu waphiya gambani kpwendavoya Mlungu. Wakala kuko usiku kucha kuvoya. 13Ligundzure kuriphocha, waiha afuasie, na kahi yao achitsambula kumi na airi ambao waaiha “mitume.” 14Nao kala ni: Simoni (ambaye piya kala achimuiha Petero) na nduguye Anderea, Jakobo, Johana, Filipu, Batholomayo, 15Mathayo, Tomasi, Jakobo mwana wa Alifayo, Simoni (ambaye piya kala achiihwa Mpiganiadzi Uhuru.) 16Juda mwana wa Jakobo na Juda Isikarioti, ambaye mwisho wamsalata Jesu.

Jesu anafundza atu na kuphoza akongo

(Mathayo 4:23–25)

17Jesu wala gambani na hara mitume, achedzaima hererani. Kala phana kundi kulu ra afuasie na kundi kulu ra atu anjina. Hinyo kala ala Jerusalemu na seemu zanjina zosi za Judea, na kula seemu za pwani ya midzi ya Tiro na Sidoni. 18Nao kala akedzaphundza mafundzo na kuphozwa makongo gao. Piya Jesu waphoza atu ariokala anayugbwa ni pepho. 19Atu osi kala achiaza kumguta, mana nguvu kala zichimtuluka zikaaphoza osi.

Raha na mashaka

(Mathayo 5:1–12)

20Jesu walola afuasie, na achiamba:

“Baha mwi agayi, mana nyo ufalume wa Mlungu ni wenu.

21Baha mwimwi mhirikao na ndzala sambi, mana mundamvuniswa!

Baha mwimwi mrirao sambi, mana mundatseka!

226:22 1 Petero 4:14Baha mwimwi, atu achikuzirani, achikuhendani nyunga na kukulaphizani,

na achikuocherani ngulu kpwa sababu ya mimi Mutu Yela Mlunguni.

236:23 2 Nyakati 36:16; Mahendo 7:52“Phahi, siku mambo higo gachikuphahani, hererwani na mtinetine na raha, mana Mlungu wakuikirani zawadi kulu hiko mlunguni. Mana ndivyo akare aho arivyoahendera manabii pho kare.

24Ela shaka rani hiro mwi matajiri,

25Shaka rani hiro mwi mmvunao sambi, mana badaye mundahirika!

Shaka rani hiro mwi mtsekao sambi, mana badaye mundarira!

26Shaka rani hiro atu achikutogolani,

mana piya akare aho atogola manabii a handzo.”

Mendzani maadui enu

(Mathayo 5:38–48; 7:12a)

27Chisha Jesu achiamba, “Ela mino nakuambirani mwimwi mphundzao kukala, amendzeni maadui genu. Ahendereni manono anaokuzirani. 28Ajaliyeni anaokuvoyera mai, avoyereni Mlungu anaokuhenderani vibaya. 29Mutu achikupiga ndzeya hino, mgaluzire yanjina nayo apige. Mutu achikufuta kandzuyo, mrichire na shatiro piya. 30Akuvoyaye chitu muphe, na ndiyekufuta chitucho mrichire wala usimuise. 316:31 Mathayo 7:12Viratu ambavyo mnalonda atu akuhendereni, mwi namwi ahendereni dza vivyo. 32Kpwani ichikala munamendza anaokumendzani bahi, mundaphaha zawadi yani? Mana hata atu a dambi nao anamendza asena ao! 33Na ichikala munahenderato hara anaokuhenderani manono bahi, mundaphaha zawadi yani? Mana vivyo ndivyo atu a dambi ahendavyo. 34Na mundaphahani mchiaaphasa pesa atu ambao munaona anaweza kukuriphani? Mana hata atu a dambi nao nkuaaphasa ayawao na nkulonda ariphiwe pesa zosi. 35Ela amendzeni maadui genu na ahendereni manono. Aaphaseni wala msikale na tamaa ya kuriphiwa. Namwi mundatuzwa vinono na mundakala ana a Mlungu wa Uwezo wosi. Mana Mlungu nkuaonera mbazi atu asioshukuru na ayi. 36Phahi, kalani na mbazi dza Sowe yenu ariye mlunguni arivyo.”

Msilavye makosa ayawenu

(Mathayo 7:1–5)

37Tsona Jesu waamba, “Msiamule ayawenu, namwi tamundaamulwa ni Mlungu. Msilaumu ayawenu, namwi tamundalaumiwa. Swameheni ayawenu, namwi mundaswamehewa. 38Apheni ayawenu, naye Mlungu andakuphani. Mundahewa tele ya kusindirirwa na kusukpwa-sukpwa hata kufwasa. Mana chipimo mpimiracho ayawenu, ndicho ndichopimirwa mwimwi.”

396:39 Mathayo 15:14Alafu Jesu waapha mfwano, waamba, “Dze chipofu anaweza kumlongoza njira chipofu myawe? Hata! Kaweza, mana osi airi andagbwa dibwani. 406:40 Mathayo 10:24–25; Johana 13:16; 15:20Mwanafundzi kamshinda mwalimuwe, ela mwanafundzi achimala masomoge vinono, andakala dza mwalimuwe.

41“Kpwa utu wani unalola chifusi dzitsoni mwa myao, ela kuona boriti ndzima iriyo mwako dzitsoni? 42Unawezadze kumuamba myao, ‘Hebu mwenehu, nikuuse chifusi mwako dzitsoni,’ kuno we mwenye kuona boriti ndzima mwako dzitsoni? Munafiki we! Andza kutuluza boriti iriyo mwako dzitsoni, ndipho undaona vinono hata utuluze chifusi chiricho dzitsoni mwa myao.”

Muhi nkumanyikana kpwa matundage

(Mathayo 7:16–20; 12:33–35)

43Jesu achienderera kugomba achiamba, “Muhi mnono tauvyala matunda mai, wala muhi mui tauvyala matunda manono. 446:44 Mathayo 12:33Mana chila muhi nkumanyikana kpwa gara matunda uvyalago. Kuweza kuphaha zabibu kula muhi wa miya, wala mngololi tauvyala tende. 456:45 Mathayo 12:34Mutu mnono nkutuluza manono kula kpwa akibaye nono iriyo mwakpwe moyoni. Naye mutu mui nkutuluza mai kula kpwa akibaye mbii. Kpwa mana mutu nkugomba gachigoodzala mwakpwe moyoni.”

Mfuasi wa kpweli

(Mathayo 7:24–27)

46Jesu waenderera kugomba achiamba, “Phahi, mbona munaniiha ‘Bwana, Bwana,’ ela tamuhenda go nigombago? 47Nami nindakuambirani mutu asikiraye maneno gangu na kugalunga arivyo: 48Hiye ni dza mutu yedzenga nyumba, achitsimba msingi wa ndani na achidzenga dzulu ya mwamba. Mafuriko gariphokpwedza, gapiga nyumba ela taiyagbwa, mana kala ikadzengbwa vinono. 49Ela yuya asikiraye maneno gangu na akagapuza, ni dza mutu yedzenga nyumba dzulu ya mtsanga bila ya kutsimba msingi. Mafuriko gariphokpwedza gapiga hira nyumba, na kano nyumba ichigbwa na kubomokakpwe kpwakala kukulu sana.”

6Phahi, Jesu waphiya nao. Ela ariphofika phephi na hipho, yuya mkpwulu wa jeshi ra Chirumi wahuma asenae akamuambe, “Bwana, usidziyuge kpwedza hadi kpwangu, mana sifwaha kukukaribisha mwangu nyumbani. 7Ndiyo mana sedzere kpwako mimi mwenye. Nakuvoya ugombe neno tu, na mtumishi wangu andaphola. 8Mana hata mimi ni tsini ya akulu angu, nami nina asikari ambao a tsini yangu. Nchimuamba mmwenga ‘Phiya phatu fulani!’ Anaphiya; na wanjina nchimuamba, ‘Ndzo!’ Aredza. Piya nchimuamba mtumishi wangu, ‘Henda utu fulani!’ Naye anahenda.”

Atu anji kula mudzi hinyo kala a phamwenga na yuya gungu. 13Jesu ariphomuona yuya nine wa mufwa, wamuonera mbazi, na achimuamba, “Usirire mayo.” 14Warisengerera rira jeneza achiriguta na hara okala anaritsukula achiima.

Jesu anagomba kuhusu Johana Mʼbatizadzi

(Mathayo 11:2–29)

18Johana Mʼbatizadzi ariphoambirwa ni anafundzie habari za mambo gosi higo, waiha anafundzie airi, 19achiahuma kpwa Jesu akamuuze, “Dze, we ndiwe iye huriye kala hunamgodzera, hebu hugodze mutu wanjina?”

20Phahi, hara ahumwa ariphofika kpwa Jesu, amuamba, “Johana Mʼbatizadzi akauhuma wedze hukuuze, ‘Dze, we ndiwe hiye Muokoli ugodzerwaye, hebu hugodze mutu wanjina?’ ”

21Wakati hinyo-hinyo Jesu kala anaphoza atu anji makongo na ayugbwao ni pepho, piya waphoza vipofu anji. 227:22 Isaya 35:5–6; 61:1Phahi, waajibu hara ahumwa achiamba, “Phiyani mkamsemurire Johana gara mchigogaona na kugasikira: Vipofu anaona, viswere ananyendeka, akongo a mahana anaphozwa, masito anasikira, atu a kufwa anafufulwa na achiya anasemurirwa habari nono kula kpwa Mlungu. 23Tsona muambireni kukala mutu yeyesi asiye na wasiwasi nami waajaliwa.”

24Ahumwa a Johana ariphokala anauka, Jesu wagomba na rira kundi ra atu kuhusu Johana, achiamba, “Mriphophiya weruni kpwendamphundza Johana, kala munaona muyaonani? Dze, mwakpwendalola nyasi zizugbwazo ni phuto? 25Ichikala sio hivyo, sambi kala mchalolani? Hebu kala mchalola mutu wa kuvwala nguwo nono? Hata! Atu avwalao nguwo maridadi na kuishi maisha mazuri akala madzumba ga chifalume. 26Haya niambirani, kala mchalolani? Kala mchalola nabii? Ehe! Ni kpweli kabisa, tsona nakuambirani iye ni zaidi ya nabii. 277:27 Malaki 3:1Iye ndiye ambaye Maandiko gaandikpwa kumuhusu, gaambago,

‘Nindatanguliza muhumwa wangu mberezo,

ambaye andakutengezera njirayo.’

28“Nakuambirani, kahi ya anadamu osi takuna mutu muhimu kuriko Johana, ela mutu yeyesi ariye mdide kpwenye ufalume wa Mlungu, iye ni mkpwulu kuriko Johana.”

297:29 Mathayo 21:32; Luka 3:12Na atu osi phamwenga na atoza kodi amphundza Johana, achimtogola Mlungu, nao achibatizwa ni Johana. 30Ela Mafarisayo na alimu a Shariya arema kubatizwa ni Johana, hipho achikala akarema mpango wa Mlungu.

31Jesu waenderera kugomba achiamba, “Sambi atu a siku hizi ndaafwananisha na chitu chani. 32Aho ni dza anache avumbao cheteni, kundi mwenga rinaambira ranjina:

‘Hukakupigirani ngoma ya arusi,

ela tamkafwiha!

Hukakupigirani ngoma ya chifudu,

ela tamkarira!’

33“Kpwa mana Johana Mʼbatizadzi kala achifunga na kanwere uchi, ela mwi mchiamba, ‘Ana Pepho.’ 34Nriphokpwedza mimi Mutu Yela Mlunguni, narya na kunwa uchi, vino munaamba, ‘Mloleni hiye mroho na mlevi, tsona ni msena wa atoza kodi na achina-dambi!’ 35Ela phahi, ikima ya Mlungu nkuhakikishwa kala ni kpweli ni atu osi aikubalio na kuilunga.”

Jesu anaphiya kaya kpwa Mfarisayo mmwenga

36Mfarisayo mmwenga wamualika Jesu akarye naye kpwakpwe kaya. Alafu Jesu waphiya achendasagala chakuryani. 377:37 Mathayo 26:7; Mariko 14:3; Johana 12:3Phahi, mudzi hinyo kala kuna mchetu mmwenga malaya. Hiye mchetu ariphosikira Jesu anarya nyumbani mwa Mfarisayo, wahala tupa ya marashi ga samani na achedza nago mura nyumbani. 38Waima phephi na Jesu, achiandza kurira na matsozige gachitwena maguluni pha Jesu. Chisha achigaphangusa na nyereze, achimdonera magulu alafu achigapaka higo marashi.

39Yuya Mfarisayo yemualika Jesu ariphoona vira, wagomba na rohore, achiamba, “Kala mutu hiyu ni nabii, angemanya ni ani na ni mchetu wa aina yani amgutaye, mana ni mchina-dambi!” 40Ndipho Jesu achimuamba yuya Mfarisayo, “Simoni, nina maneno nalonda nikuambire.” Simoni achiamba, “Haya mwalimu, niambira.”

41Phahi, Jesu waamba, “Kpwahenda mutu mmwenga achiaphasa pesa atu airi: Mmwenga wamuaphasa shilingi elufu mirongo mitsano na wanjina achimuaphasa shilingi elufu tsano. 42Osi airi ashindwa kuripha, hipho yuya mutu yeaphasa pesa achiaswamehe. Sambi, unafikiri ni yuphi ndiyeshukuru zaidi?” 43Simoni achimuamba, “Naona ni yuya yeswamehewa deni kulu.” Jesu achimuamba, “Ni sawa, ukagomba kpweli.”

44Alafu wagaluka achilola yuya mchetu na achimuamba Simoni, “Unamuona yuno mchetu? Nchiphoinjira himu mwako nyumbani, kukanipha madzi ga kusinga magulu, ela yuno mchetu akanisinga magulu na matsozige na akaniphangusa na nyereze. 45Kukanipha mwadzo wa kunidonera, ela hiyu mchetu akanidonera magulu hangu nchiphokpwedza. 46Tsona kukanipaka mafuha chitswani kama desturi, ela iye akanipaka marashi ga magulu. 47Phahi, nakuamba, mendzwa nyinji achigonihendera hiyu mayo ganaonyesa akaswamehewa dambize nyinji. Ela mutu aswamehewaye chidide andamendza chidide.”

48Ela Jesu achimuamba yuya mchetu, “Mayo, ukaswamehewa dambizo.” 49Ndipho hara atu anjina okala anarya naye achiuzana, “Ni ani yuno, ambaye anaswamehe hata dambi?” 50Ela Jesu achimuamba yuya mchetu, “Kuluphiroro rikakuokola, phiya salama.”

Jesu anaeleza mana ya ndarira ya mkurima

(Mathayo 13:10–23; Mariko 4:10–20)

9Anafundzie amuuza, “Ndarira iyo manaye nini?” 108:10 Isaya 6:9Jesu achiamba, “Mwimwi mwaajaliwa kumanya siri za ufalume wa Mlungu, ela kpwa atu anjina nagomba nao na ndarira tu, ili ‘alole na matso gao ela asione, na asikize na masikiro gao ela asielewe.’

11“Mana ya ndarira hino ni hivi: Zira mbeyu ni neno ra Mlungu. 12Mbeyu zogbwa njirani na zichiriwa ni nyama a mapha, ni dza atu asikirao neno, alafu Shetani akariusa mwao mioyoni, ili asedze akaamini na kuokoka. 13Mbeyu zogbwa seemu za mawe zichimera upesi ela kpwa vira mizi kala i dzulu-dzulu zafwa. Hizi ni dza atu asikirao neno akariphokera na raha, ela tarimenya mwao ndani.

Hizi ni dza atu asikirao neno, ela anavyoenderera kuishi, badaye nkulingbwa-lingbwa ni mambo ga dunia, tamaa za mali na raha za maisha, hipho, imani zao taziphera. 15Ela mbeyu zogbwa mtsanga wa nguvu, ni dza aratu atu asikirao neno ra Mlungu, akarigbwira moyo kutsuka, nao kpwa kuvumirira nkpwenderera kuhenda mambo manono.”

Jesu anafundza na mfwano wa taa

(Mariko 4:21–25)

168:16 Mathayo 5:15; Luka 11:33Alafu Jesu waamba, “Takuna mutu aasaye taa akaifwinika daba ama akayiika mvunguririni. Ela mutu achiasa taa, nkuyiika dzulu, ili chila ainjiraye aone nyo mwanga. 178:17 Mathayo 10:26; Luka 12:2Mambo gosi gofwitsika gandaonekana wazi na maneno gosi ga siri gandamanyikana wazi. 188:18 Mathayo 25:29; Luka 19:26Phahi phundzanito neno ra Mlungu, kpwa mana ariye na chitu na kuchihumira andaenjerezwa. Ela asiyehumira chitu chidide aricho nacho, hata chicho chindahalwa.”

Alafu kpwapiga phuto kali ziyani, na dau richikala rinainjira madzi, phadide ahohe. 24Hara anafundzie akpwendamlamusa, achimuamba, “Bwana, Bwana, hunahoha!” Jesu walamuka na achiridemurira rira phuto na maimbi, rira phuto rahurira, na kuchikala kuhurire. 25Alafu achiaambira anafundzie, “Kuluphiro renu ri kuphi?” Ela aho aangalala na achiona wuoga, na achiuzana, “Yuno ni mutu wa viphi ambaye anaweza kudemurira hata phuto na maimbi, ganamphundza?”

Jesu anaphoza mutu wa pepho

(Mathayo 8:28–34; Mariko 5:1–20)

26Badaye Jesu na anafundzie aenderera na charo chao na achifika tsi ya Agerasi,8:26 Maandiko ganjina nkuiha tsi hino Gadara au Gerigesa. ambayo ni kuvuka ngʼambo ya ziya kula Galilaya. 27Jesu ariphotuluka dauni, wakutana na mutu kula mudzi uho yepagaliwa ni pepho. Siku nyinji mutu hiye kala kavwala nguwo wala kala kaishi kaya, ela kala achisagala vikurani. 28Ariphomuona Jesu, wapiga kululu na achidzibwaga maguluni, achigomba na hoyo, achiamba, “Jesu, Mwana wa Mlungu Ariye Dzulu Zaidi, unamini? Nakuvoya usinitese!” 29Mana Jesu kala akaademurira hara pepho atuluke mura mwa yuya mutu. (Mara nyinji pepho kala achidedemuka hiye mutu; kala nkufungbwa silisili za mikono na magulu na akarindwa, ela kala achizidusula na akaphirikpwa weruni ni pepho.) 30Jesu achimuuza, “Uihwadze?” Naye achiamba, “Ndimi Jeshi.” Wagomba hivyo mana kala ana pepho anji. 31Hara pepho amʼbembeleza sana Jesu asiatsuphe kuzimu.

32Sambi kala kuna chaa cha nguluwe anji chinarisa kanda-kanda ya gamba. Pepho amvoya ruhusa Jesu akainjire hara nguluwe, naye achikubali. 33Hipho, hara pepho atuluka yuya mutu na achendainjira rira kundi ra nguluwe, nacho chira chaa chosi chatserera mairo mteremukoni, chichiinjira ziyani, na nguluwe osi achihoha.

Naye wamala aganga8:43 Naye wamala aganga. Vitabu vyanjina vya kare tavina maneno higa. na malize zosi wala takuna yemphoza. 44Phahi, hiye mchetu waphiya ko nyuma ya Jesu, achiguta mutse wa nguwoye, mara mwenga hura mruwo uchituma. 45Ndipho Jesu wauza, “Ni ani chiyeniguta?” Phahi, chila mmwenga ariphorema kala akamguta, Petero wamuamba, “Bwana, umati wosi huno uchiokuzunguluka na vyo atu afyehanavyo, unauza chiyekuguta!” 46Ela Jesu achiamba, “Mmwenga akaniguta, mana nkasikira nguvu zangu za kuphoza zikanituluka.”

(Mathayo 11:25–27; 13:16–17)

21Wakati hinyo-hinyo, Roho Mtakatifu wamuhenda Jesu akale na raha sana, naye achiamba, “Baba Mlungu, Bwana wa dzulu mlunguni na duniani, nakushukuru kpwa sababu waafwitsa atu a ilimu na marifwa mambo higa na uchiangʼazira atu akuluphirao dza anache. Ehe, ni sawa Baba, mana hivyo ndivyo vyokuhamira. 2210:22 Johana 3:35; 10:15Baba wanipha uwezo wa mambo gosi.

30Phahi, Jesu wamtsuphira ndarira, achimuamba, “Myahudi mmwenga kala ala Jerusalemu anaphiya Jeriko. Mo njirani achivwamukirwa ni akora. Achimvula nguwo, achimpiga, na achimfuta malize zosi, chisha achimʼbwaga pho njirani kadzimanya. 31Kpwa bahati, mlavyadzi-sadaka mmwenga wa dini ya Chiyahudi wagbwira njira hiyo. Ariphomuona yuya mutu achiyevwamukirwa ni akora, watsega-tsega na kanda, achimricha phapho. 32Alafu Mlawi naye ariphomuona yuya mutu achiyevwamukirwa ni akora, watsega-tsega na kanda. 3310:33 2 Nyakati 28:15Ela Msamariya mmwenga yekala ana vyarovye, watsapa na phapho. Na ariphomuona yuya mutu achiyevwamukirwa ni akora, wamuonera mbazi. 34Achimsengerera, achendamfuta-futa virondavye na uchi kama dawa na mafuha chisha achimfunga bendeji. Yuya Msamariya kala ana pundawe, wamuhala yuya mutu achimpandiza dzulu ya punda, achimtsukula hadi hotelini, ambako wakpwendamtundza. 35Siku ya phiriye, yuya Msamariya walavya pesa achimupha mwenye hoteli, achimuamba, ‘Mrorome hiyu mkpwongo wangu, na chochosi ndichozidi ndakpwedza nikuriphe, siku nchiuya.’ ”

36Chimarigizo Jesu wamuamba yuya mwalimu wa Shariya, “Sambi unaonadze, hara atu ahahu, ni yuphi ambaye waonyesa kukala ni myawe wa kpweli wa yuya mutu yevwamukirwa ni akora?” 37Yuya mwalimu wa Shariya achiamba, “Ni yuya yemuonera mbazi.” Jesu achimuamba, “Phahi, nawe kahende dza vyo arivyohenda Msamariya.”

Jesu anafundza anafundzie kuvoya Mlungu

(Mathayo 6:9–13; 7:7–11)

1Siku mwenga, Jesu kala a phatu anavoya Mlungu. Ariphomala, mwanafundziwe mmwenga wamuamba, “Bwana, hufundze kuvoya Mlungu, dza Johana vyofundza anafundzie.” 2Phahi, Jesu waambira, “Ichikala munavoya Mlungu, ambani:

‘Baba Mlungu, dzinaro nariogophewe.

3Chila siku huphe chakurya chehu cha kuhutosha.

4Na huswamehe dambi zehu,

dza viratu hunavyoswamehe osi ahukoserao.

Usihuriche hukatiywa dambini ni Shetani.’ ”

5Chisha Jesu achiaambira, “Mendzerepho mutu una msenao, siku mwenga uphiye kpwakpwe usiku wa manane, ukamuambe, ‘Msena wangu, nikopesha mabofulo mahahu, 6mana nkatsolokerwa ni mjeni, nami sina chitu cha kumupha.’ 7Alafu hiye msenao himo nyumbani akuambe, ‘Usiniyuge, mino nkafunga kare mryango; mimi na anangu hurere.

9“Phahi, nakuambirani, Voyani namwi mundahewa, endzani namwi mundaphaha, pigani hodi namwi mundavugurirwa. 10Mana chila avoyaye nkuhewa, aendzaye nkuphaha, na apigaye hodi nkuvugurirwa. 11Ni yuphi kahi yenu ambaye mwanawe achimvoya ngʼonda andamupha nyoka? 12Ama mwanawe achimvoya yayi andamupha chisuse? 13Ichikala mwi atu ayi tu, mnamanya kuapha ana enu vitu vinono, dze si zaidi ye Sowe yenu ariye mlunguni? Iye nkuapha Roho Mtakatifu atu osi amvoyao.”

Jesu ana nguvu kumshinda Shetani

(Mathayo 12:22–30; Mariko 3:20–27)

14Badaye, Jesu kala anatuluza pepho bwibwi. Yuya pepho ariphotuluka, yuya bwibwi waandza kugomba na atu osi achiangalala. 1511:15 Mathayo 9:34; 10:25Ela atu anjina kala anaamba, “Anatuluza pepho kpwa uwezo wa Belizebuli,11:15 Belizebuli ni dzina ra Chiyunani renye mana ya shetani. mkpwulu wa pepho.” 1611:16 Mathayo 12:38; 16:1; Mariko 8:11Anjina achimhega achili kpwa kumuamba ahende ishara ya chilinje kuonyesa kala uwezowe ula mlunguni. 17Jesu wamanya maazo gao ndipho achiaambira, “Tsi yoyosi ambayo vilongozie anapingana, tsi iyo taindadumu, na nyumba iganyanayo makundi kupingana, nkutsamuka. 18Sambi, ichikala Shetani akadziganya, nyo ufalumewe undadumu? Nkaamba hivyo kpwa sababu, mwimwi munaamba kala natuluza pepho na uwezo wa Belizebuli. 19Pho mino ichikala natuluza pepho na uwezo wa Belizebuli, dze, afuasi enu nkutuluza pepho na uwezo wa ani? Afuasi enu ndio ndiokuamulani. 20Ela kpwa kukala ninatuluza pepho kpwa uwezo wa Mlungu, phahi manyani kukala ufalume wa Mlungu ukedza kpwenu.

21“Mutu wa mkpwotse ariye na silaha, arindapho nyumbaye, malize zindakala salama. 22Ela achedza mutu wa mkpwotse zaidi kumvwamukira na kumshinda nguvu, andamfuta silahaze achizozikuluphira na kuapha ayae mali achizozihala zewe.

2311:23 Mariko 9:40“Yeyesi ambaye ka uphande wangu, manyani ananipinga; na iye ambaye tahukusanya phamwenga, manyani anatsamula.”

Mutu auyirwaye ni pepho

(Mathayo 12:43–45)

24“Pepho achimtuluka mutu, nkuphiya weruni achaendza phatu pha kuoya, ela asiphophaha, nkudziamba, ‘Nindauya kpwangu nyumbani kpwa kare nrikola.’ 25Phahi achedzakuta phara phatu ni phahuphu, phaphyerwa na chila chitu chaikpwato, 26nkuphiya achahala pepho ayae sabaa ayi zaidi kuriko iye, na achamuinjira yuya mutu na akaishi himo. Hipho, hali ya yuya mutu nkukala mbii zaidi kuriko hira ya mwandzo.”

27Jesu phokala anagomba higo, mchetu mmwenga mo kundini wapiga kululu, achiamba, “Baha hiye mchetu yekuvyala na achikuamwisa!” 28Ela Jesu achimuamba, “Ni kpweli, ela ario na raha zaidi ni hinyo asikirao ujumbe wa Mlungu na akaukubali!”

Chivyazi chii chinalonda dalili za vilinje

(Mathayo 12:38–42)

2911:29 Mathayo 16:4; Mariko 8:12Atu ariphokala anazidi kpwedza, Jesu waamba, “Atu a chivyazi hichi ni ayi. Analonda ishara ya chilinje, ela taandaonyeswa chochosi isiphokala chiratu chohenderwa Jona. 3011:30 Jona 3:4Viratu Jona arivyokala ishara kpwa atu a Ninawi, vivyo hivyo nami Mutu Yela Mlunguni ndakala ishara kpwa atu a chivyazi hichi. 3111:31 1 Afalume 10:1–10; 2 Nyakati 9:1–12Vivyo hivyo siku hiyo, malikia wa kula tsi ya Mwakani andaima phamwenga na atu a chivyazi hichi, naye andachishitaki kpwa makosa gao. Mana wala pembe ya dunia kpwedzaphundza maneno ga marifwa ga Selemani, ela sambi, mimi nriye hipha ni mkpwulu kuriko Selemani. 3211:32 Jona 3:5Siku ya hukumu atu a Ninawi andaima phamwenga na atu a chivyazi hichi, nao andachishitaki kpwa makosa gao. Mana atu a Ninawi atubu dambi zao kpwa sababu ya mahubiri ga Jona, ela sambi, mimi nriye hipha ni mkpwulu kuriko Jona.”

Mafundzo ga Jesu ganangʼaza atu matso

(Mathayo 5:15; 6:22–23)

3311:33 Mathayo 5:15; Mariko 4:21; Luka 8:16Chisha Jesu achiaambira atu, “Takuna mutu aasaye taa na kuitiya mvunguririni, ela nkuyiika dzulu ili ainjirao aone nyo mwanga. 34Matsogo ndigo taa ya mwiri, nago gachikala ni mazima, mwiri wosi undakala na mwanga. Ela gachikala ni makongo, phahi mwiri wosi undaodzala jiza. 35Phahi, hakikishani munagbwira mafundzo gangu, ili maisha genu gasikale na jiza. 36Chumbacho chosi chichikala na mwanga, maishago gandakala na mwanga munji, dza taa iakavyo chumbani.”

Jesu anaonya Mafarisayo na alimu a Shariya

(Mathayo 23:1–36; Mariko 12:38–40)

37Jesu ariphomala kugomba higo, Mfarisayo mmwenga wamualika kpwakpwe kaya akarye naye. Jesu wakubali, achiinjira nyumbani, achisagala achirya naye. 38Mfarisayo hiye watezeka ariphomuona Jesu anarya bila ya kulunga mila ya dini yao, yani bila ya kutsukutsa mikono kabila ya kurya. 39Jesu wamuamba, “Mwimwi Mafarisayo muna chadi cha kudzionyesa mu atu anono. Hivyo ni sawa na kutsukutsa chikombe na sahani kondze macheye. Ela mwenu marohoni mukaodzala unyangʼanyi na uyi. 40Mu azuzu! Kpwani tammanya kala yetengeza kondze ndiye ariyetengeza ndani piya? 41Ela phahi, lavyani zaka vyo murivyo navyo mo vikombeni muaphe agayi, alafu tamundakala na chochosi chiricho najisi.

4211:42 Alawi 27:30“Ela shaka hiro mwi Mafarisayo! Kpwa mana munalunga Shariya ya kumupha Mlungu fungu ra kumi ra mavuno makulu na hata mavuno madide, ela tamjali haki wala tammendze Mlungu. Higa ndigo mlondwago kuhenda, bila ya kubera higo ganjina.

43“Shaka hiro mwi Mafarisayo! Kpwa mana munamendza kusagala vihi vya mbere-mbere masinagogini na kulamuswa na ishima mbere za atu. 44Shaka hiro, mana mu dza mbira zisizo na alama, ambazo atu nkunyendeka dzuluze bila ya kumanya uyi na lovu ririro himo.”

45Alafu mwalimu mmwenga wa Shariya wamuamba Jesu, “Mwalimu, uchiamba hivyo, unahuinjirira hata swiswi alimu a Shariya piya.” 46Achiambwa, “Shaka hiro hata mwimwi alimu a Shariya. Mnamendza kutsukuza ayawenu mizigo miziho, yani Shariya ngumu, ela mwi enye tamuterya atu kuzilunga hata chidide.

47“Shaka hiro! Mana munadzengera mbira manabii ambao aolagbwa ni akare enu. 48Hivyo munadzishuhudiya kukala munakubaliana na mambo gohendwa ni akare enu, mana aho aolaga manabii, namwi munaadzengera vikuta. 49Kpwa sababu ya higo, Mlungu wa marifwa waamba, ‘Nindakureherani manabii na mitume, ela mundaolaga anjina na anjina mundaagayisa.’ 50Phahi, atu a chivyazi hichi andatiywa adabu kpwa sababu ya vifo vya manabii osi oolagbwa hangu kuumbwa kpwa dunia, 5111:51 Mwandzo 4:8; 2 Nyakati 24:20–21tsona hangu chifo cha Abeli hadi chifo cha Zakariya.11:51 Zakariya: Siye yuya ise wa Johana, ela ni mutu wanjina yeishi miaka minji yotsupa. Soma chitabu cha phiri cha Mambo ga Nyakati 24:20–21. Hiye Zakariya waolagbwa mbere za Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu, kahi-kahi ya iyo nyumba na phatu pha kulavira sadaka. Kpweli nakuambirani, atu a chivyazi hichi andatiywa adabu kpwa sababu ya hinyo manabii.

52“Shaka hiro mwi alimu a Shariya! Kpwa mana munaafwitsa ayawenu mafundzo ga kpweli ga Mlungu. Mwi enye mwagarema na munazuwiya atu ambao analonda kugamanya!”

53Jesu ariphouka phara, Mafarisayo na alimu a Shariya atsukirwa sana na achikala anampinga na kumhega achili na maswali manji, 54ili kulola ichikala andagomba maneno ambago sigo, kpwa amgbwire.

41Alafu Petero wamuuza Jesu, “Bwana, huno mfwano uchiohuambira, unauhusu swiswi bahi hebu ni unahusu atu osi?”

42Jesu achimuamba, “Kalani dza mtumishi muaminifu na wa marifwa, ambaye tajiriwe nkumupha kazi ya kuimirira nyumbaye na kuapha atumishi ayae chakurya wakati unaofwaha. 43Ni baha hiye mtumishi ambaye siku tajiriwe achedza, andakutwa anahenda hivyo. 44Nami nakuambirani kpweli, tajiriwe andamuhenda muimirizi wa malize zosi. 45Ela yuya mtumishi achiamba, ‘Tajiri wangu kedza sambi,’ naye aandze kupiga atumishi ayae, alume kpwa achetu, na kurya, kunwa na kulewa. 46Phahi yuya tajiriwe ndiphouya siku asiyomtarajiya na saa asiyoimanya, andamtiya adabu vibaya sana, na andamuika kundi ra atu asiomkuluphira Mlungu.

47“Mtumishi ambaye anamanya tajiriwe alondavyo, ela kadzitayarisha wala kahenda alondavyo tajiriwe, andapigbwa vibaya sana. 48Ela mtumishi ambaye kamanya tajiriwe alondavyo, achihenda mambo ambago ni atiywe adabu, phahi, andapigbwa chidide. Chila ariyehewa chinji, andaiswa chinji, chiasi ndichohewa mutu ndicho ndichoiswa.”

Mayovyala andakala na maoni tafwauti na mkpwaza-mwanawe, naye mkpwaza-mwana andakala na maoni tafwauti na nine-vyala.”

Kumanya minga

(Mathayo 16:2–3)

54Jesu waambira atu, “Mchiona ingu rikakunga mtswerero wa dzuwa, mara mwenga mkuamba, ‘Kundanya mvula,’ na kpweli mvula nkunya. 55Na mchiona phuto rinapiga kula mwakani, mkuamba, ‘Kundahenda dzoho,’ na kpweli nkuhenda dzoho. 56Anafiki mwi!

6Chisha Jesu waatsuphira atu ndarira hino: “Mutu mmwenga kala akaphanda muhi uihwao mtini mwakpwe mundani. Sikuye, wakpwendaendza matunda, ela kayaphaha rorosi. 7Phahi, yuya mchina-munda wamuamba mkurimawe, ‘Lola, na miaka mihahu sambi kpwedza nchilola huno muhi ichikala wavyala, ili nami nifwaidi matundage, ela sidzangbwephaha rorosi. Ukate, mana naona unabananga munda bure!’ 8Yuya mkurima achimuamba, ‘Bwana, uriche uhu mwaka mmwenga, niurimire na niutiire mboleya. 9Uchivyala mwaka wedzao, ni vinono, ela usiphovyala, phahi ndipho undaukata.’ ”

Jesu anaphoza mchetu chiswere Siku ya Kuoya

10Siku mwenga ya Kuoya, Jesu kala anafundza ndani ya sinagogi fulani. 11Mo sinagogini kala muna mchetu ambaye pepho kala akamuhenda mkpwongo miaka kumi na minane. Kala akamuhenda chinundu hata kaweza kugoloka kabisa. 12Jesu ariphomuona yuya mchetu, wamuiha phara mbere, na achimuamba, “Mayo, ukarichirwa, ukongoo ukaphozwa.” 13Achimʼbandikira mkpwono, na phapho hipho yuya mchetu achigoloka, na achimtogola Mlungu.

20Achiaambira tsona, “Nindakuambirani ufalume wa Mlungu urivyo. 21Hinyo ni dza hamira chache ambayo mchetu waitiya ungani, na unga wosi pishi tahu uchiumuka.”

Kuokoka ni kama kuinjira na mryango mwembamba

(Mathayo 7:13–14,21–23)

22Jesu ariphokala anaphiya Jerusalemu, watsapa na midzini na laloni kuno anafundza. 23Mutu mmwenga achimuuza, “Bwana, dze, Mlungu andaokola atu achache tu?” 24Naye Jesu achimuamba, “Hendani chadi muinjire na mryango mwembamba, kpwa kukala, nakuambirani kukala atu anji andalonda kuinjira, ela taandaweza. 25Siku mchina-nyumba achedzafunga mryango, mundakala kondze mpige hodi na muambe, ‘Bwana, huvugurire mryango!’ Ela andakuambirani ‘Sikumanyani tse wala simanya mlako!’ 26Ndipho namwi mundamuamba, ‘Hwarya na huchinwa phamwenga na uwe, tsona wafundza kpwehu malaloni.’ 2713:27 Zaburi 6:8Ela naye andaamba, ‘Sikumanyani tse. Niukirani hipha mwi atu ayi!’ 2813:28 Mathayo 22:13; 25:30 13:28 Mathayo 8:11–12Ndipho mundarira na kusaga meno mana mundaona akare ehu Burahimu, Isaka na Jakobo na manabii osi a kahi za nyo ufalume wa Mlungu, ela mwi enye mukatsuphiwa kondze. 29Atu kula mlairo wa dzuwa, na mtswerero wa dzuwa, kula vurini na kula mwakani, andakpwedza karamuni kpwenye ufalume wa Mlungu. 3013:30 Mathayo 19:30; 20:16; Mariko 10:31Hakika, kuna atu ambao ni a mwisho ambao andakala a mwandzo, na ambao ni a mwandzo vi sambi andakala a mwisho.”

Jesu ariphoona vira ahendavyo, achiakanya achiaambira, 814:8 Misemo 25:6–7“Mutu achikualika harusini, usisagale nafwasi ya mbere, sedze kala kuna mutu aishimiwaye zaidi ya uwe yealikpwa, 9na mwenyezi wenu yekualikani akakuamba, ‘Tafadhali mphise hiyu bwana iyo nafwasiyo.’ Hipho undaona waibu mbere za atu kuphiya nafwasi ya nyuma. 10Ela uchialikpwa, sagala nafwasi ya nyuma, ili yuya mwenyezio achedzakuona, akuambe, ‘Msena wangu, ndzo usagale hiku mbere zaidi.’ Hino indakuikira ishimayo mbere za ajeni anjina osi. 1114:11 Mathayo 23:12; Luka 18:14Mana mutu yeyesi ndiyedzihenda muhimu, andatserezwa, na ndiyedzitsereza, andahendwa muhimu.”

Ajeni anaalikpwa karamu

12Alafu Jesu wagomba na yuya chiyemualika karamu, achimuamba, “Uchihenda karamu, usialike asenao, enenu, mbarizo wala majiranigo matajiri. Mana uchihenda hivyo, nao anaweza kukualika, nao akakala akariphiza. 13Ela uchihenda karamu, alika agayi, viswere, atu a virema na vipofu, 14nawe undajaliwa, hata dzagbwe taana cha kukuripha. Mlungu andakuripha wakati atu a haki achifufuka.”

15Phahi, mutu mmwenga ambaye kala anarya na Jesu phosikira hivyo, wamuamba, “Baha aho ndiorya karamu kpwenye ufalume wa Mlungu.” 16Jesu achimuamba, “Mutu mmwenga wahenda karamu kulu, achialika atu anji. 17Karamu iriphokala tayari, wamhuma mtumishiwe akaambire hara arioalikpwa, ‘Ndzoni, mana sambi chila chitu chi tayari.’ 18Ela chila mmwenga walavya sababuye ya kusaphiya karamuni. Wa mwandzo waamba, ‘Nágula munda, na ni lazima nkaulole. Tafadhali niswamehe.’ 19Wanjina naye achiamba, ‘Nágula ngʼombe kumi za kurima, na vivi naphiya nkazijeze. Tafadhali niswamehe.’ 20Na wanjina naye achiamba, ‘Mino nálóla dzuzi-dzuzi, kpwa hivyo sindaweza kpwedza.’

21“Phahi, yuya mtumishi wauya kaya kpwa tajiriwe achendasema. Tajiriwe watsukirwa, ndipho achimuamba hiye mtumishiwe, ‘Upesi phiya ukazunguluke mudzi mzima, barabarani na malaloni ukaarehe agayi, viswere, atu a virema na vipofu.’

22“Badaye yuya mtumishi wakpwedzamuamba tajiriwe, ‘Bwana, higo uchigonilagiza nikagahenda, ela bado kuchere na nafwasi.’ 23Yuya tajiri achimuamba, ‘Sambi phiya chila barabara na chila njira, ukaashurutishe atu edze, ili nyumba yangu iodzale. 24Mana kpwa kugomba kpweli, hinyo arioalikpwa taphana yeyesi ndiyetata karamu yangu.’ ”

Garama ya kukala mfuasi wa Jesu

28“Ela kabila ya kukala mfuasi wangu, ni lazima mwandzo umanye ichikala undaweza kuvumirira hadi mwisho. Kpwa mfwano, uchilonda kudzenga nyumba,14:28 Nyumba: Neno hiri Chiyunani rina mana ya nyumba nyire za gorofa. kpwandza ni lazima uhende isabu ya pesa urizo nazo ichikala zindatosha. 29Mana uchidzenga msingi macheye alafu uchishindwa ni kuimarigiza, atu andakutseka, 30andaamba, ‘Lolani, mutu hiyu waandza kudzenga nyumba, vino inamshinda kumarigiza!’

31“Ama, mfalume yeyesi achitaka kuphiya vihani, kupigana na mfalume wanjina, kpwandza ni lazima apime ichikala asikarie elufu kumi andaweza kupiga asikari elufu mirongo miiri. 32Na achiona kaweza kupigana nao, analavya muhumwa wakati hara asikari anjina achere kure ili atake mapatano. 33Phahi, mutu yeyesi achitaka kukala mfuasi wangu, ni lazima akale tayari kuricha chila chitu aricho nacho.”

Munyu wa kubanangika

(Mathayo 5:13; Mariko 9:50)

Andaricha gara mirongo tisiya na tisiya ko marisani na akaendze rira richiroangamika hadi arione. 5Achiriphaha andaribandika mafuzini kuphiya naro kaya na kuhererwa. 6Na achifika kaya, andaiha asenae na majirani aambire, ‘Ayangu, nauherwereni mana ngʼondzi rangu che rikaangamika na vino nkariphaha.’ 7Phahi, nakuambirani kpweli, vivyo hivyo kundakala na kuhererwa zaidi mlunguni mchina-dambi mmwenga achitubu dambize, kuriko atu mirongo tisiya na tisiya ambao anadziona ana haki na wala taana haja ya kutubu.”

Ndarira ya pesa yoangamika

8Alafu Jesu waatsuphira ndarira yanjina, achiamba, “Mendzerepho mchetu ana shilingize kumi,15:8 Shilingi: Neno ra Chiyunani dragma, pesa ya Chiyunani. Dragma mwenga kala ni sawa na mshahara wa siku mwenga wa chibaruwa. mwenga ichiangamika, andahendadze? Andaasa taa, aphyere nyumbani mosi kuno anaendza pore-pore hadi aione. 9Na achiiona, andaiha asenae na majirani aambire, ‘Ayangu nauherwereni, mana shilingi yangu che nkayaangamiza, na vino nkaiphaha.’ 10Phahi, nakuambirani, malaika a Mlungu nkuhamirwa kpwa sababu ya mchina-dambi mmwenga achiyetubu dambize.”

20“Phahi, waandza charo cha kuuya kaya kpwa ise. Ela ariphokala achere chikure-kure, ise wamuona na achimuonera mbazi. Achimzorera achendamkumbatira na achimdonera. 21Phahi yuya mwana wamuamba ise, ‘Baba, námkosera Mlungu na nchikukosera uwe piya.

25“Wakati hinyo, mwana mvyere wa yuya mzehe kala a mundani.

1Jesu waatsuphira anafundzie ndarira, achiamba, “Kpwahenda tajiri mmwenga ambaye muandishiwe muimirizi kala analaumiwa kpwa kuhumira mali za tajiriwe komakoma. 2Phahi, hiye tajiri wamuiha muandishiwe achimuuza, ‘Ni maneno gani gano nisikirago? Nalonda ulavye isabu kamili ya mali na fwaida, mana kuweza kpwenderera kukala muandishi wangu.’

3“Yuya muandishi achidziuza, ‘Nihendedze mino? Tajiri wangu analonda kunifuta kazi. Nami siweza kurima, na kuvoya-voya naona haya! 4Sambi, namanya ndivyohenda ili siku nchifutwa kazi, atu anikaribishe kpwao madzumbani.’ 5Hipho, waiha adeni a tajiriwe osi, mmwenga-mmwenga. Achimuuza yuya wa kpwandza, ‘Unaiswani ni tajiri wangu?’ 6Yuya mdeni achiamba, ‘Naiswa madaba gana mwenga ga mafuha.’ Naye muandishi achimuamba, ‘Hala hino karatasiyo ya deni, sagala upesi na uandike madaba mirongo mitsano.’ 7Alafu achimuuza mdeni wanjina, ‘Nawe unaiswani ni tajiri wangu?’ Yuya mdeni achimuamba, ‘Naiswa magunia gana mwenga ga nganu.’ Yuya muandishi achimuamba, ‘Hala hino karatasiyo ya deni, na uandike magunia mirongo minane.’

8“Phahi, yuya tajiri wamtogola hiye muandishi mkora kpwa vira achivyohumira achili. Sambi, hivyo ndivyo atu asiomjali Mlungu arivyo, ni erevu zaidi kushuulikiya mambo gao kuriko atu amukuluphirao Mlungu ashuulikiyavyo mambo ga Mlungu. 9Nami nakuambirani, humirani pesa chiwerevu, yani dziphahireni asena kpwa kuhumira pesa, ili siku mchifwa, Mlungu akuphokereni mlunguni, kuriko na makalo ga kare na kare.

10“Yeyesi ambaye ni muaminifu wa mambo madide, piya andakala muaminifu wa mambo makulu; na mutu ambaye si muaminifu wa mambo madide, piya kandakala muaminifu wa mambo makulu. 11Sambi, ichikala tamyaaminika na mali ya duniani, ni ani ndiyekuaminini na mali ya kpweli yola Mlunguni? 12Na kama tamyaaminika na mali ya mutu wanjina, ni ani ndiyekuphani mali ikale yenu?

1316:13 Mathayo 6:24“Takuna mtumishi awezaye kuhumikira matajiri airi. Mana achihenda vivyo, andamendza mmwenga na amzire yuya wanjina. Mmwenga andamuhendera kazi vinono na amʼbere yuya wa phiri. Tamuweza kuhumikira Mlungu na kuno munahumikira mali.”

Jesu anademurira Mafarisayo

(Mathayo 11:12–13; 5:31–32; Mariko 10:11–12)

1616:16 Mathayo 11:12–13“Shariya za Musa na Maandiko ga manabii gahumika hadi wakati wa Johana Mʼbatizadzi. Hangu siku hizo habari nono kuhusu utawala wa Mlungu unahubiriwa atu, na anji anahenda chadi ili akubaliwe kukala atu a Mlungu. 1716:17 Mathayo 5:18Ni rahisi zaidi mlunguni na duniani kusira kuriko arufu mwenga au seemu ndide ya Shariya kuuswa.

1816:18 Mathayo 5:32; 1 Akorintho 7:10–11“Mutu arichaye mchewe akalóla mchetu wanjina, nkukala anazinga, na mutu alólaye mchetu yerichwa ni mlumewe, nkukala anazinga.”

19Alafu Jesu waamba, “Kpwakala na mutu mmwenga tajiri, ambaye kala achivwala nguwo nono za gali sana, na kuishi maisha manono chila siku. 20-21Na phakpwe ryangoni kala phachilazwa mgbwayi mmwenga yeihwa Lazaro kpwedzavoya. Mutu hiye kala nkuhenda ndzala hata akaaza kurya pukupuku za chakurya cha yuya tajiri. Tsona kala ana vironda mwiri mzima, na madiya kala nkpwedzamlamba-lamba vira virondavye.

22“Lazaro sikuze za kufwa ziriphofika, wafwa. Malaika achimuhala achendamuika phamwenga na Burahimu hiko mlunguni. Yuya tajiri naye, sikuze phofika, piya naye wafwa, achizikpwa. 23Yuya tajiri phokala mohoni hiko kuzimu, wagaya sana. Ariphotsupha matso, wamuona Burahimu kpwa kure na Lazaro pho kanda-kanda. 24Phahi, wamuiha Burahimu, ‘Baba Burahimu, nionera mbazi umhume Lazaro adyoge madzi na tsa ya chalache edze anireze lilimi, mana nagaya sana na huno moho!’ 25Ela Burahimu achimuamba, ‘Mwanangu, umanye wakati kala unasagala ko duniani waphaha mambogo manono manono, kuno Lazaro anagaya. Ela sambi iye anafurahishwa hipha, na uwe unagaya. 26Zaidi ya hivyo, kahi-kahi ya uwe na swiswi phana dibwa kulu ra ndani, ili kuzuwiya atu alondao kutsapa kula hiku kpwedza hiko, wala kusivuke mutu yeyesi kula hiko kpwedza kpwehu.’

27“Alafu yuya tajiri achiamba, ‘Phahi, nakuvoya baba Burahimu umhume Lazaro kpwehu kaya, 28aphiye akaaonye enehu atsano, ili nao asedze akainjira hipha mashakani.’ 29Ela Burahimu achimuamba, ‘Enenu ana Shariya za Musa na Maandiko ga manabii, naalunge higo.’ 30Yuya tajiri achiamba, ‘Hata baba Burahimu, iyo taitosha, ela kuchiphiya mutu kula kuzimu, enehu andatubu dambi zao.’ 31Ela achiambwa, ‘Ichikala enenu taandagbwira Shariya za Musa na maneno ga manabii, phahi, hata mutu achifufuka kula kuzimu taandamgbwira manenoge.’ ”

“Myao achikukosera, mkanye, na achitubu achikuvoya msamaha, mswamehe. 4Hata achikukosera kano sabaa siku mwenga, na achedza kano sabaa achikuamba, ‘Nkatubu mwenehu, niswamehe,’ phahi ni lazima umswamehe.”

Mafundzo kuhusu imani na kazi ya mtumishi

7Chisha achiamba, “Mendzerepho una mtumishio acharima ama acharisa mangʼondzi. Achedza kula mundani ama marisani, unaweza kumuamba, ‘Karibu wedze hurye?’ 8Hata chidide! Ela ungemuamba, ‘Nitengezera chakurya, uniandazire nirye na ninwe, nchimala ndipho nawe undarya.’ 9Wala kundamshukuru hiye mtumishio kpwa sababu akakuhendera vira uchivyomlagiza. 10Phahi, hata mwimwi piya, muchikala mkahenda chila chitu sawa-sawa kama mchivyolagizwa, ambani, ‘Sisi hu atumwa tu na hukahenda vyo hulondwavyo kuhenda.’ ”

Jesu anaphoza akongo kumi a mahana

11Wakati Jesu kala anaphiya Jerusalemu, watsapira mphaka wa Samariya na Galilaya. 12Wainjira lalo fulani, ambako wakutana na akongo kumi a mahana. Hara akongo aima chikure-kure, 13na achikota kululu achiamba, “Bwana Jesu, huonere mbazi!” 1417:14 Alawi 14:1–32Jesu ariphoaona, waambira, “Phiyani kpwa alavyadzi-sadaka akakuloleni ichikala mkaphola.” Na wakati kala anaphiya, gara mahana gaphola.

Dze, hara tisiya a kuphi? 18Mbona chiyeuya kpwedzamtogola Mlungu ni yu mjeni bahi?” 19Alafu Jesu achimuamba, “Unuka uphiye vyako; kuluphiroro rikakuphoza.”

Utawala wa Mlungu ndivyokpwedza

(Mathayo 24:23–28,37–41)

20Siku mwenga, Mafarisayo anjina amuuza Jesu ufalume wa Mlungu ndiphokpwedza. Jibure waamba, “Ufalume wa Mlungu tawedza na ishara za kuonekana na matso. 21Wala atu taandaamba, ‘Huno hipha,’ ama ‘Hura kura,’ mana ufalume wa Mlungu u kahi-kahi yenu.”

22Chisha achiaambira anafundzie, “Kundakpwedza wakati ambapho mundaaza siku mwengayapho ya mimi Mutu Yela Mlunguni, ela tamundaiona. 23Atu anjina andakuambirani, ‘Yuya kura,’ ama ‘Hiyu hipha,’ ela msialunge gao, wala musiphiye mchalola. 24Kpwa mana mimi, Mutu Yela Mlunguni, kpwedza kpwangu kundaonekana chingʼangʼa chila phatu, dza viratu limeme rimekavyo mlungu mzima. 25Ela, kpwandza ni lazima niteswe sana na niremewe ni atu a chivyazi hichi.

2617:26 Mwandzo 6:5–8“Vivyo vyokala wakati wa Nuhu, ndivyo ndivyokala wakati mimi Mutu Yela Mlunguni ndiphouya. 2717:27 Mwandzo 7:6–24Wakati wa Nuhu atu kala achirya na kunwa, kala achilóla na kulólwa, hadi siku Nuhu ariphoinjira safina, alafu mafuriko gachedza, na gachiolaga atu osi. 2817:28 Mwandzo 18:20; 19:25Hata siku za Lutu yakala vivyo piya, atu arya na kunwa, kuhenda bishara, kurima na kudzenga. 29Ela siku Lutu ariphouka Sodoma, vidziwe vya chibiriti viakavyo moho kula mlunguni vyamwagika dza mvula na vichiaolaga osi.

30“Phahi, hivyo ndivyo ndivyokala siku mimi Mutu Yela Mlunguni ndiphouya himu duniani. 3117:31 Mathayo 24:17–18; Mariko 13:15–16Siku hiyo, mutu ndiyekala kondze ya nyumba naasiuye mwakpwe nyumbani kuhala malize.

Ndarira ya gungu yevoya bila kuremwa

1Alafu Jesu waatsuphira anafundzie ndarira kuafundza kala ni lazima atu avoye Mlungu chila wakati na asikate tamaa. 2Waamba, “Kpwahenda muamuli mmwenga mudzi fulani, ambaye kala kamuogopha Mlungu wala kujali mutu. 3Na piya kala kuna gungu mmwenga mudzi uho, ambaye kano kpwa kano kala achimlunga yuya muamuli achamuamba, ‘Nakuvoya unisaidiye niphahe haki yangu kula kpwa mviha wangu.’ 4Kpwa muda mure hiye muamuli warema. Ela badaye waamba, ‘Hata dzagbwe simuogopha Mlungu wala sijali mutu, 5ela kpwa kukala hiyu mchetu ananiyuga, nindamupha hakiye, ama andaniremweza achienderera kpwedza chila wakati.’ ” 6Alafu Jesu achiamba, “Ichikala ye muamuli mui tu waona baha amuhehere ye gungu mana kala kumvoya gago kpwa gago. 7Phahi, Mlungu andaahendera haki atu oatsambula akale atue, amririrao na kumvoya usiku na mutsi. Na wala kandakaa kuaterya. 8Nakuhakikishirani, andaahendera haki, tsona upesi. Ela dze, mino Mutu Yela Mlunguni, siku nchiuya duniani, nindakuta atu anikuluphirao?”

Ndarira ya Mfarisayo na mtoza kodi

9Jesu waatsuphira ndarira hara atu adzionao a mana na kubera ayawao, waamba: 10“Kpwahenda atu airi, achiphiya Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu kpwendavoya. Mmwenga kala ni Mfarisayo na wanjina kala ni mtoza kodi. 11Yuya Mfarisayo waima na achivoya chimoyo-moyo, achiamba, ‘Nakushukuru Mlungu, kpwa kukala mino si dza atu anjina: aivi, atu ayi na azinifu, wala si dza hiyu mtoza kodi. 12Mino nafunga kano mbiri kpwa wiki na nalavya sadaka fungu ra kumi ra pato rangu.’ 13Ela yuya mtoza kodi waima kanda. Kayaweza hata kuunula usowe kulola mlunguni, ela wadzipiga-piga chifuwa kpwa utsungu na achiamba, ‘Mlungu nakuvoya unionere mbazi, mimi mchina-dambi.’ ”

1418:14 Mathayo 23:12; Luka 14:11Alafu Jesu achiaambira, “Nakuambirani kpweli, hiye mtoza kodi waswamehewa dambize na achikubaliwa ni Mlungu. Ela kpwa yuya Mfarisayo taiyakala hivyo. Kpwa mana chila adzikpwezaye andatserezwa, na adzitserezaye andakpwezwa.”

Jesu anajaliya anache adide

Mtawala tajiri

(Mathayo 19:16–30; Mariko 10:17–31)

18Siku mwenga mtawala mmwenga wamuuza Jesu, waamba, “Mwalimu mnono, nihendedze mino ili Mlungu aniphe uzima wa kare na kare?” 19Jesu achimuamba, “Kpwa utu wani unaniiha mnono? Takuna ariye mnono isiphokala Mlungu macheye. 2018:20 Kutsama 20:12–16; Kumbukumbu 5:16–20Avi unamanya malagizo ga Mlungu: ‘Usizini, usiolage, usiiye, usizige myao na dzambo ra handzo, tsona muishimu sowe na mayoo.’ ” 21Yuya mutu achiamba, “Ehe, higa gosi nágalunga hangu wanache wangu.” 22Jesu ariphosikira hivyo, wamuamba, “Bado kuna chitu chimwenga ambacho unatakiwa uchihende. Kaguze malizo zosi na pesaze ukaaphe achiya, nawe undakala na akiba hiko mlunguni. Chisha ndzo unilunge.” 23Ela yuya mutu ariphosikira higo, wasononeka sana, mana kala ni tajiri.

24Jesu ariphoona yuya mutu anasononeka, waamba, “Ni vigumu sana atu ario na utajiri kuinjira ufalume wa Mlungu. 25Ni rahisi zaidi ngamia kutsupira tundu ya sindano kuriko tajiri kuinjira kpwenye ufalume wa Mlungu.” 26Atu ariphosikira hivyo, amuuza, “Pho sambi ni ano ani ambao anaweza kuokolwa?” 27Achiaambira, “Risirowezekana kpwa mwanadamu, kpwa Mlungu rinawezekana.” 28Ndipho Petero wamuamba, “Dze, swino? Hwaricha vitu vyehu vyosi ili hukale anafundzio!” 29Jesu achiaambira, “Hakika nakuambirani, yeyesi ndiyeona kazi ya ufalume wa Mlungu ni muhimu zaidi kuriko nyumbaye, mchewe ama nduguze, avyazie ama anae, 30andaphaha vinji zaidi wakati wa maishage, na wakati wedzao andaphaha uzima wa kare na kare.”

Jesu anagomba tsona kuhusu chifoche

(Mathayo 20:17–19; Mariko 10:32–34)

31Jesu wahala hara anafundzi kumi na airi achiphiya nao njama, achendaambira, “Phundzani, vivi hunaphiyani Jerusalemu, ambako gosi goandikpwa ni manabii kuhusu mimi, Mutu Yela Mlunguni, gayatimiya. 32Nindalaviwa kpwa atu ambao sio Ayahudi, andanizemerera, andanilaphiza na kunitehera mahe, 33andanichapa viboko na mwisho andaniolaga, ela siku ya hahu nindafufuka.” 34Ela anafundzie taayaelewa chochosi kuhusu mambo higo.

11Wakati atu kala anaphundza mambo higo, Jesu watsupha ndarira. Mana kala a phephi na kufika Jerusalemu, nao atu kala anaona ufalume wa Mlungu undaonekana wakati hinyo-hinyo. 12Phahi Jesu waambira, “Kpwahenda mutu mmwenga wa mbari ya chifalume, achiphiya tsi ya kure ili akahewe madaraka ga chifalume, alafu auye. 13Ela kabila kadzangbweuka, waiha atumishie kumi, na achiapha osi pesa chiasi sawa,19:13 Chiyunani, chila mmwenga wahewa mina mwenga, ambayo ni sawa na mshahara wa siku gana mwenga, kama nusu kilo ya feza. achiaambira, ‘Zihendereni bishara hadi ndiphouya.’ 14Nao anatsi a tsi iyo kala akamzira, phahi ariphouka hiye mutu, hiku nyuma hara anatsi alavya ahumwa akaambe, ‘Tahumtaki mutu hiyu akale mfalume wehu.’

U mtumishi mnono! Kpwa sababu wakala muaminifu wa mambo madide, nindakuhenda mkpwulu wa midzi kumi.’ 18Wa phiri naye achedza, achiamba, ‘Bwana, pesazo zaphaha fwaida kano tsano zaidi.’ 19Yuya mfalume achimuamba, ‘Nindakuhenda mkpwulu wa midzi mitsano.’ 20Alafu achedza mtumishi wanjina, achiamba, ‘Bwana, pesazo hizi, názifwitsa vinono chitambaani. 21Nákuogopha, kpwa sababu uwe u mutu mufu, mana unahala ambacho si chako, na unavuna ambacho kuyaphanda.’ 22Yuya mfalume achimuamba, ‘Nindakuamula kpwa kauliyo mwenye, u mtumishi mui! Nawe unamanya mino ni mutu mgumu, nihalaye ambacho si changu na kuvuna ambacho siphandire, 23phahi, kpwa utu wani kuyaika pesa zangu bengi ili nikaziphaha na fwaida siku ndiphouya?’

24“Ndipho achiambira hara ariokala aimire pho phephi, ‘Mfuteni hizo pesa na mumuphe iye ariye na mifuko kumi.’ 25Ela hara atu achimuamba, ‘Bwana, iye anazo kare pesa dza zizo kano kumi!’ 2619:26 Mathayo 13:12; Mariko 4:25; Luka 8:18Naye achiaambira, ‘Nakuhakikishirani kukala, chila ariye na chitu na kuchihumira andaenjerezwa. Ela asiyehumira chitu chidide aricho nacho, hata chicho chindahalwa. 2719:27 Mathayo 25:14–30Sambi, hara maadui angu ambao kala taanitaki nikale mfalume wao, areheni phano na muaolage pha mbere zangu.’ ”

Jesu anainjira Jerusalemu

28Jesu ariphomala kugomba higo, watsapa mbere ya afuasie kuphiya Jerusalemu. 29Ariphokala a phephi na kufika midzi ya Bethifage na Bethania, ko Mwango wa Mizaituni, watanguliza anafundzie airi, na achialagiza hivi: 30“Phiyani hinyo mudzi wa pho mbere, na mchiinjira tu, mundamkuta mwana punda akafungbwa, naye kadzangbwepandwa ni mutu. Mvuguleni munirehere. 31Mutu achikuuzani, ‘Mnayeni ye mwana punda, mbona munamvugula?’ Muambeni, ‘Bwana ana haja naye.’ ”

32Phahi, hara ahumwa aphiya na achendaona viratu achivyoambwa. 33Ariphokala anamvugula yuya mwana punda, enye aauza, “Mbona munamvugula ye mwana punda?” 34Achiaambira, “Bwana ana haja naye.” 35Chisha amreha yuya mwana punda kpwa Jesu, achihandika nguwo zao dzulu ya hiye punda, alafu achimterya Jesu kupanda pho dzulu. 36Jesu ariphokala anaphiya, atu ahandika nguwo zao barabarani.19:36 Ahenda hivyo kuonyesa ishima yao kpwa mutu muhimu.

Alafu achiphiya tsi yanjina kpwa muda wa kukola. 10Wakati wa kuvuna zabibu uriphofika, mchina-munda wahuma mtumishiwe aphiye kpwa hara ariokodisha mundawe ili akahewe fungure ra mavuno.

18“Mutu yeyesi ndiyegbwa dzulu ya hiro dziwe andavundzika-vundzika, na ndiyegbwererwa ni hiro dziwe andasagbwa-sagbwa.”

Jesu anajibu swali kuhusu kuripha kodi

(Mathayo 22:15–22; Mariko 12:13–17)

19Phahi hara alimu a Shariya na akulu a alavyadzi-sadaka amanya kala akagomba ndarira iyo kuonyesa kala aho ndio akurima ayi ariokodisha hura munda. Kpwa hivyo alonda kumgbwira Jesu mara mwenga, ela achimricha kpwa kuogopha atu. 20Phahi amchunguza chila ahendaro na achihuma apelelezi ambao adzihenda avi ni aaminifu.

23Ela Jesu wamanya werevu wao, hipho waamba, 24“Nionyesani pesa mwenga. Dze, pesa hino ina sura na dzina ra ani?” Nao achimuamba, “Ni vya Kaisari.” 25Ndipho achiaambira, “Phahi, vya Kaisari mupheni Kaisari, na vya Mlungu, mupheni Mlungu.” 26Hipho, taayaweza kumgbwira kpwa maneno achigogomba mbere za atu, ela aangalazwa ni majibuge na achikala taana ra kuamba.

Phahi achimuamba, 2820:28 Kumbukumbu 25:5“Mwalimu, Musa wahuandikira kpwenye Shariya kukala, mutu achifwa na achikala kavyarire, nduguye ni lazima ahale ufwa hiye gungu, na amvyarire ana yuya mufwa. 29Phahi, hipho kare, kpwahenda ndugu sabaa. Wa mwandzo walóla, achifwa bila ya kuvyala naye ana. 30Mdidewe achimuhala ufwa, naye achifwa, 31na wa hahu achimlóla, na achifwa. Phahi, yakala hivyo hadi ndugu osi sabaa achisira kufwa, bila ya kuvyala naye. 32Mwisho, hiye mchetu naye piya wafwa. 33Sambi, siku ndiphofufulwa atu, yuya mchetu andakala mkpwaza ani? Kpwa mana ndugu osi sabaa amlóla.”

34Jesu achiaamba, “Hipha sambi alume na achetu analólana, 35ela wakati wedzao, atu ambao Mlungu andaona anafwaha kufufulwa na kuishi tsona wakati hinyo, taandalólana. 36Kpwa kpweli taandafwa tsona, mana andakala dza malaika na ni ana a Mlungu, ahendafufulwa. 3720:37 Kutsama 3:6Na kuhusu atu kufufulwa, si Musa wakuhakikishirani chingʼangʼa ariphoandika kuhusu chitsaka chokala chinaaka moho. Mana Musa anamhadza Bwana dza Mlungu wa Burahimu, wa Isaka na wa Jakobo.20:37 Ndani ya chitabu cha Kutsama 3, Musa waandika gara arigoambirwa ni Mlungu. Mlungu wamuamba kukala iye ni Mlungu wa Burahimu, wa Isaka na wa Jakobo miaka minji bada ya atu hinya kufwa.38Kpwa hivyo iye si Mlungu wa atu ariofwa, ela ni Mlungu wa ario moyo, mana kpwakpwe anadamu osi a moyo.”

39Alimu a Shariya anjina achiamba, “Mwalimu, ukagombato!” 40Phahi, atu osi tayasubutu kumuuza maswali tsona.

Swali dzulu ya Yetsambulwa ni Mlungu kuokola atu

(Mathayo 22:41–46; Mariko 12:35–37)

41Chisha Jesu waauza, “Kpwadze, atu nkuamba Masihi20:41 Masihi, manage ni mutu yetsambulwa ni Mlungu kuokola atu. andakala chivyazi cha Mfalume Daudi? 4220:42 Zaburi 110:1Kpwa mana hata Daudi mwenye ariphoandika Chitabu cha Zaburi waamba:

44“Ichikala Daudi anamuiha hiye mutu, ‘Bwana wangu,’ vinakaladze akale ni chivyaziche?”

Jesu anaonya atu kuhusu alimu a Shariya

Piya anamendza kusagala vihi vya mbere-mbere masinagogini na karamuni. 47Nkufuta magungu vitu vyao na kudzihenda kukala ni atu anono kpwa kuvoya mavoyo mare! Siku ya mwisho atu a aina iyo andaphaha adabu kali sana.”

Ela hiyu mayo, dzagbwe ni mchiya, akalavya pesa zosi achizokala nazo, hata vivi kana chitu cha kumterya kuishi.”

(Mathayo 24:1–22; Mariko 13:1–20)

5Anafundzie anjina kala anabisha kuhusu vira Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu vyodzengbwato na mawe manono, na vira vyopambwa vinono na zawadi zolaviwa sadaka kpwa Mlungu. Ela Jesu achiamba, 6“Kuredza wakati ambapho higa gosi mgaonago gandabomolwa, na taphana hata dziwe mwenga ndirosala dzulu ya ranjina.”

7Phahi anafundzi anjina a Jesu amuuza, “Mwalimu, mambo higo gandakala rini? Na ni dalili yani ndiyoonyesa kukala mambo higa gosi ga phephi gahendeke?” 8Jesu waambira, “Dzimanyirireni sedze mkachengbwa. Kpwa mana atu anji andadzihenda kala ni mimi na andaamba, ‘Mimi ndiye hiye Yetsambulwa ni Mlungu,’ na andaamba, ‘Huno ndio wakati wa mwisho!’ Ela nakuambirani, msialunge gao. 9Na mchisikira habari za viha na fujo, msiogophe, mana kpwandza, higo ni lazima gakale, ela sio kukala ni mwisho kare.”

10Chisha achiamba, “Tsi mwenga indapigana na tsi yanjina, na mfalume mmwenga andapigana na mfalume wanjina. 11Dunia indakala ichisumba sana, kundakala na ndzala na makongo ga kuolaga atu anji seemu nyinji. Kundakala na mambo ga ajabu-ajabu na ga kutisha ko dzulu mlunguni. 12Ela kabila ya kpwedza mambo higa, atu andakugbwirani akuteseni. Andakushitakini masinagogini na kukufungani jela, mundashitakiwa kpwa afalume na atawala kpwa sababu yangu. 13Na uho ndio ndiokala wakati mnono wa kulavya ushaidi kunihusu. 1421:14 Luka 12:11,12Ela nalonda mgbwireto mambo higa. Msitangetange ra kugomba kuhusu ndivyodzikanira, 15kpwa mana nindakuphani maneno ga marifwa, ambago maadui genu gosi tagandaweza kugarema wala kugapinga. 16Mundafyakatsirwa na kulaviwa hata ni avyazi enu, ndugu zenu, abari enu na asena enu kpwa atu akuteseni, na anjina mundaolagbwa. 17Atu osi andakuzirani kpwa sababu yangu. 18Ela mambo higa tagandaangamiza roho zenu, hata chidide! 19Mchivumirira, mundaokola roho zenu.”

Jesu anagomba kuhusu kuangamizwa kpwa Jerusalemu

(Mathayo 24:15–21; Mariko 13:14–19)

20Alafu Jesu waamba, “Mchiona Jerusalemu ikazungulukpwa ni majeshi, phahi manyani i phephi na kuangamizwa. 21Wakati na hinyo, ario seemu ya Judea naachimbirire myangoni, ario mudzini Jerusalemu naamutuluke, na ario mindani ni asiinjire nyo mudzi. 2221:22 Hosea 9:7Kpwa sababu siku hizo zindakala ni siku za kutiywa adabu ili gosi goandikpwa ndani ya Maandiko ga Mlungu gatimiye. 23Shaka rani ro achetu a mimba na amwisao siku hizo! Kundakala na tabu kulu sana tsi hiyo, na utsungu wa Mlungu undaapiga atu a tsi hiyo. 24Atu anjina andaolagbwa vihani na anjina andahalwa mateka kuphirikpwa tsi tafwauti-tafwauti duniani. Jerusalemu indatekpwa na itawalwe ni atu ambao sio Ayahudi hadi wakati wao ndiphosira.”

Wakati wa Mutu Yela Mlunguni kuuya

(Mathayo 24:29–44; Mariko 13:24–37)

2521:25 Isaya 13:10; Ezekieli 32:7; Joeli 2:31; Maono 6:12,13“Kundakala na vituko vya dzuwa, mwezi na nyenyezi. Himu duniani, atu anjina andakala na tabu sana na kuangalala kpwa sababu ya mngurumo wa maimbi makulu ga bahari. 26Atu andafwa purungire kpwa wuoga, na kuririkana higo gedzago himu duniani, mana nguvu za dzulu mlunguni zindasumbiswa. 2721:27 Danieli 7:13; Maono 1:7Ndipho atu ndiphoniona mimi, Mutu Yela Mlunguni, nchitsembuka inguni kpwedza na nguvu na utukufu munji. 28Mambo higa gachiandza kuonekana, hererwani na msifwe moyo, mana mu phephi na kukombolwa.”

29Chisha Jesu walavya mfwano, achiamba, “Lolani mtini na mihi yanjina. 30Mchiiona inatula, mkumanya wakati wa kuvuna u phephi. 31Mwimwi namwi mchiona mambo higa ganahendeka, manyani kukala ufalume wa Mlungu u phephi. 32Nami nakuambirani kpweli, chivyazi hichi tachindasira kufwa kabila ya mambo higa gosi kuhendeka. 33Dzulu mlunguni na dunia kundasika, ela maneno gangu tagana mwisho.

34“Dzimanyirireni sedze mkavwererwa ni kurya kunji, kulewa, na shuuli za maisha, ama siku ya mwisho indakpwedzakugbwirani gafula 35dza muhego. Kpwa mana siku iyo indakpwedza kpwa atu osi duniani. 36Kpwa hivyo Kalani matso wakati wosi, na mvoye ili mphahe nguvu za kugatsupira mambo gago ndigohendeka, tsona muweze kuima mbere za ye Mutu Yela Mlunguni.”

3721:37 Luka 19:47Phahi chila siku, namutsi Jesu kala achifundza atu ndani ya Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu na dziloni kala achiphiya Mwango wa Mizaituni achalala. 38Ligundzu chiti atu osi kala achiphiya Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu achamphundza Jesu.

Chugo cha kumuolaga Jesu

(Mathayo 26:1–5; Mariko 14:1–2; Johana 11:45–53)

122:1 Kutsama 12:1–27Sikukuu ya Mikahe Isiyotiywa Hamira, yani Pasaka, kala i phephi. 2Phahi, akulu a alavyadzi-sadaka na alimu a Shariya alonda kumuolaga Jesu, ela kala analonda njira ambayo atu taandahenda fujo, utu ambao kala anauogopha. 3Phahi, Shetani wamuinjira Juda Isikarioti, ambaye piya kala ni mwanafundzi wa Jesu. 4Juda waphiya kpwendabisha na akulu a alavyadzi-sadaka na akulu a asikari a kurinda Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu vira ambavyo andamsalata Jesu. 5Nao ahererwa sana, achilaga kumupha pesa. 6Phahi, Juda wakubali na achikala anaendza penyenye ya kumsalatira Jesu kpwa hinyo akulu bila ya makundi ga atu kumanya.

Jesu anadzitayarisha kurya Sikukuu ya Pasaka

(Mathayo 26:17–25; Mariko 14:12–21; Johana 13:21–30)

7Alafu yafika Sikukuu ya mikahe isiyotiywa hamira, ambapho siku iyo mwana ngʼondzi wa Pasaka nkutsindzwa kpwa sadaka. 8Jesu walagiza Petero na Johana, achiaambira, “Phiyani mkahutayarishire chakurya cha Pasaka wedze huryeni.” 9Achimuuza, “Unalonda hukaitayarishe kuphi?” 10Achiaambira, “Wakati muchikala mkainjira mudzini, mundakutana na bwana mmwenga akadzihika nyungu ya madzi. Mlungeni-lungeni hadi nyumba ndiyoinjira. 11Chisha muambeni mchina-nyumba hiyo, ‘Mwalimu anakuuza: Chi kuphi chira chumba ambacho nindarya Pasaka na anafundzi angu?’ 12Andakuonyesani chumba chikulu dzulu gorofani ambacho chikatayarishwa. Tayarishani chakurya cha Pasaka mumo.” 13Phahi, nyo anafundzi auka na achendakuta viratu Jesu arivyoaambira. Achitayarisha chakurya cha Pasaka mumo.

Chakurya cha Bwana

(Mathayo 26:26–30; Mariko 14:22–26; 1 Akorintho 11:23–25)

14Wakati wa kurya uriphofika, Jesu wasagala phamwenga na hara mitume kurya chakurya. 15Chisha achiaambira, “Kala naaza sana kurya Pasaka hino na mwimwi kabila sidzangbweteswa. 16Mana kpwa kpweli nakuambirani, sindairya tsona hadi manage ndiphokamilika kpwenye ufalume wa Mlungu.”

17Wahala chikombe cha uchi wa zabibu, na bada ya kumshukuru Mlungu, waamba, “Halani hinyu uchi mtsumbuzane mosi. 18Nakuambirani, hangu sambi sindanwa tsona uchi wa zabibu hadi ufalume wa Mlungu ndiphokpwedza.” 19Chisha achihala mkpwahe, achimshukuru Mlungu alafu achiumega-mega na achiapha arye, achiamba, “Huno ni mwiri wangu, ambao unalaviwa kpwa fwaida yenu. Kalani muchihenda hivi ili mkale mchinitambukira.”

2022:20 Jeremia 31:31–34Ariphomala kurya chakurya, vivyo hivyo Jesu wahala chikombe cha uchi wa zabibu na achigomba tsona, achiamba, “Uchi wa chikombe hichi ni dalili ya chilagane chiphya cha Mlungu, ambacho chinaikpwa na mlatso wangu ndiomwagika kpwa fwaida yenu. 2122:21 Zaburi 41:9Ela phundzani, hiye mutu ndiyenisalata a phapha, hata narya naye. 22Mimi, Mutu Yela Mlunguni, nindaolagbwa kama vyopangbwa ni Mlungu, ela shakare ye ndiyenisalata!” 23Hipho hara mitume achikala anauzana, “Ni myawehu ani ye ambaye andahenda dzambo dza hiro?”

Mitume analumbana kuhusu ndiyekala mkpwulu zaidi

2422:24 Mathayo 18:1; Mariko 9:34; Luka 9:46Alafu phazuka malumbano kuhusu ni ani ndiye tsukurirwa kukala ni mkpwulu kuriko ayae osi. 25Ndipho Jesu achiaambira kukala, “Afalume a duniani nkutawala atu chinguvu-nguvu, nao atawala nkumendza kuihwa ‘atu anono ateryao anatsi.’ 2622:26 Mathayo 23:11; Mariko 9:35 22:26 Mathayo 20:25–27; Mariko 10:42–44Ela mwimwi taindakala hivyo. Ela mkpwulu kahi yenu ni lazima akale mdide wa osi. Chisha chilongozi ni lazima akale dza mtumishi. 2722:27 Johana 13:12–15Kpwani mkpwulu ni ani: ni yuya asagalaye mezani, hebu ni yuya aandazaye? Asagalaye mezani ndiye mkpwulu. Ela mimi ni myawenu kama muandazi. 28Mwimwi ndimwi muriokala nami wakati wosi nriphojaribiwa. 29Phahi, nakuphani uwezo wa kutawala, dza viratu Baba Mlungu arivyonipha uwezo wa kutawala, 3022:30 Mathayo 19:28ili murye na munwe phangu chikaloni wakati wa utawala wangu, na mundasagarira vihi vya chifalume kuhukumu mbari kumi na mbiri za Iziraeli.”

Jesu anatabiri kukala Simoni Petero andamtsamalala

(Mathayo 26:31–35; Mariko 14:27–31; Johana 13:36–38)

31Alafu Jesu wagomba na Simoni Petero achimuamba, “Simoni, phundza! Shetani wavoya ruhusa Mlungu akujezeni, kuatenga aaminifu na asio aminifu, dza viratu mkurima aphehavyo nganu kutuluza makoya. 32Ela nkakuvoyera Mlungu Simoni, ili kuluphiroro risiphunguke. Na wakati ndiphoniuyira, atiye nguvu ayao.” 33Petero achimuamba, “Bwana, mimi ni tayari kutiywa jela na piya kufwa phamwenga nawe.” 34Jesu achiamba, “Petero, nakuambira, rero usiku kabila dzogolo taridzangbweika, undakala ukanitsamalala kano tahu na uambe kala kunimanya.”

Na mutu asiye na upanga, naaguze nguwoye agule upanga. 3722:37 Isaya 53:12Gara maneno ga Mlungu goandikpwa, ‘Amtsukurira kama avi ni mkora,’ gananihusu mimi. Nakuhakikishirani maneno higa ni lazima gatimizwe. Ehe, mambo goandikpwa kunihusu ga phephi na kutimu.” 38Anafundzie achimuamba, “Bwana, lola, huna panga mbiri.” Achiaambira, “Zinatosha.”

Jesu anavoya Mlungu Mwango wa Mizaituni

(Mathayo 26:36–46; Mariko 14:32–42)

39Jesu wauka kuphiya Mwango wa Mizaituni kama kawaidaye, na anafundzie nao achimlunga. 40Ariphofika kuko, waambira anafundzie, “Voyani Mlungu ili Shetani asedze akakujezani.”

41Phahi Jesu waphiya kanda macheye, hatuwa ya mutu kutsupha dziwe, achichita mavwindi na achivoya Mlungu. 42Achiamba, “Baba, nakuvoya ichikala ni kumendzako niusira mateso chigonilenga, ela isikale vira nimendzavyo mimi, ela vihendeke ulondavyo uwe.” 43Alafu malaika wa Mlungu wamtsembukira na achimtiya nguvu. 44Ela wasikira utsungu sana rohoni na achivoya Mlungu kpwa chadi zaidi.

Lamukani mvoye ili Shetani asedze akakujezani.”

Jesu anagbwirwa

(Mathayo 26:47–56; Mariko 14:43–50; Johana 18:3–11)

47Phahi, Jesu ariphokala acheregomba na anafundzie, phakpwedza kundi ra atu chirolongozwa ni Juda, mmwenga wa nyo kumi na airi. Phahi wamsengerera Jesu ili amdonere. 48Ela achimuamba, “Juda, mimi, Mutu Yela Mlunguni, unanilavya na atu kpwa kunidonera?” 49Anafundzie ariphoona gara gedzago, amuamba, “Bwana, huakate na upanga?” 50Mwanafundzi mmwenga wa Jesu wamkata sikiro ra kulume mtumwa wa mlavyadzi-sadaka mkpwulu. 51Ela Jesu achiamba, “Bahi, richani!” Alafu achiguta sikiro ra yuya mutu achiyekatwa na achimphoza. 52Chisha achigomba na akulu a alavyadzi-sadaka, arindzi a Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu, na vilongozi anjina okala akedzamgbwira, achiamba, “Mkanilunga na panga na marungu avi mkedzagbwira jambazi! 5322:53 Luka 19:47; 21:37Hwakalani hosi chila siku ndani ya Nyumba ya Kuvoya Mlungu. Mbona tamuyanigbwira? Ela hinyu ndio wakati wenu wa kuhenda mlondago, wakati jiza rinatawala.”

Petero anamtsamalala Jesu

(Mathayo 26:57–58,69–75; Mariko 14:53–54,66–72; Johana 18:12–18,25–27)

54Phahi amgbwira Jesu, achimphirika kaya kpwa mlavyadzi-sadaka mkpwulu. Petero achikala anaalunga-lunga kpwa kure. 55Atu hinyo ariphofika hipho muhalani akuta moho, achisagala kuwooha, alafu Petero achedzasagala phamwenga nao. 56Msichana mmwenga muhendadzi-kazi wamuona Petero asegere pho mohoni.
