19 Yesu mwamanesele kwendeka ebi byuma, watundile ku Galileya, co waile ku binginga bya Judeya musambwa lya Jodani.
2 Mbunga ya banu bamukabangeyeye, co wakangwisile baje bakele na kubinja.
3 Bafalisi bezile kuli Yesu na kumweseka, co bamwihwile ngwabo: “Kuma batabesa munalume kulukulula* munakazi wendi ha mulonga woshe-woshe ndi?”
4 Yesu wabakumbulwile ngwendi: “Kuma kumwatandele ngweni uje wabatangele ku mashangumukilo wabatangele munalume na munakazi,
5 na kwendeka ngwendi: ‘Ngeci bene, munalume akaseza ishe na ina na kulipandakana na munakazi wendi, co aba babali bakapwa situ imolika* ndi’?
6 Ngeci kubakapu lalo babali, oloni bakapwa situ imolika.* Co canaka hamo Njambi, munu keti acangunune.”
7 Bamwihwile ngwabo: “Mwafwa bikoni Mosesa wendekele ngwendi munalume asa kusonekela munakazi wendi mukanda wa kutsiya bulo na kumulukulula?”
8 Wabakumbulwile ngwendi: “Mosesa wamitabesele mukondole banakazi beni mwafwa ya kukaluwa kwa bimbunge byeni. Oloni ku mashangumukilo kucapwile ngoco.
9 Njimileka ngwange woshe alukulula munakazi wendi nga keti ha mulonga wa bupangala* na kwambata weka, alinga bukoi.”
10 Bandongesi bendekele ngwabo: “Nga mukemwo mucafwa kuli munalume na munakazi wendi ngoco, co kwakubwa kujeneka kwambata.”
11 Wabakumbulwile ngwendi: “Keti banu boshe basa kulinga ngoco, kubanga baje lika bali nobu bwana.
12 Kuli bamo kubasa kwambata mwafwa basemukile ngoco bene, kuli bakwabo baje kubasa kwambata mwafwa banu banabalingi ngoco, kuli bakwabo lalo baje kubashakele kwambata mwafwa ya Bumwene bwa mwilu. Woshe asa kulinga ngoco, alinge ngoco.”
13 Co bamunenelele banike babandondo ngwabo abakambeke maboko na kubalombelela, oloni bandongesi babatenukilile.
14 Yesu wabalekele ngwendi: “Eceleni banike babandondo baije kuli yange, keti mubabindike mwafwa Bumwene bwa mwilu bunapu bwa aba ba cifweci.”
15 Wabakambekele maboko, co watundile kuje.
16 Munu umo wezile kuli ikeye na kwendeka ngwendi: “Mulongesi, byuma muka byabibwa binjinapande kulinga mangana njikayoye myaka yoshe?”
17 Yesu wamukumbulwile ngwendi: “Bika biunjihwila ha byuma byabibwa? Kuli umolika wamubwa. Nga ushaka ukayoye, twalelelaho kunyunga mashiko.”
18 Uje munu wehwile Yesu ngwendi: “Mashiko muka?” Yesu wamukumbulwile ngwendi: “Keti utsiye munu, keti ulinge bukoi, keti wibe, keti wane bukaleho bwa makuli,
19 singimika isho na noko, co unapande kuzema mukweni ngwe muwalizema yobe babenya.”
20 Uje mukwenje wakumbulwile ngwendi: “Awa mashiko oshe njinawanyungu. Byuma muka bikwabo binjinapande kulinga?”
21 Yesu wamulekele ngwendi: “Nga ushaka kupwa wa kulumbunuka* ya ukalandese byuma byobe na kwana bimbongo ku tuhutu. Co ukakala na bufuko mwilu. Kutundaho, wije wakunjikabangeye.”
22 Uje mukwenje mwazibile ngoco, waile oku nazeye mwafwa wakele na bufuko bwabwingi.
23 Co Yesu walekele bandongesi bendi ngwendi: “Cili bene njimileka ngwange, kukapwa kwakukalu manene kuli muka-kufuka kukobela mu Bumwene bwa mwilu.
24 Njimileka lalo ngwange, kwakwasi kuli kamele kwita mu lisho lya nguya kutubakana muka-kufuka akobele mu Bumwene bwa Njambi.”
25 Bandongesi mubazibile ngoco, bakomokele manene, co bendekele ngwabo: “Iyoni akoboka?”
26 Yesu wabatalele shwii, co wendekele ngwendi: “Ku banu kucasiwa, oloni kuli Njambi byuma byoshe byasiwa.”
27 Co Pita wamukumbulwile ngwendi: “Tala! Yetu tunaseze byuma byoshe na kukukabangeya, byuma mukoni bitukawanaho?”
28 Yesu wabalekele ngwendi: “Cili bene njimileka ngwange mubakalinga byuma bipwe byabiha, omwo Muna munu akatumama ha litanda lyendi lya bumpau, yeni munamukabangeya mukatumama ha matanda 12 na kusompa miyati 12 ya Isalele.
29 Co woshe naseze binjibo, nambe bandolome, nambe bandokazi, nambe ishe, nambe ina nambe bana, nambe mahya, mwafwa ya lizina lyange akatambula byuma byabingi manene, co lalo akayoya myaka yoshe.
30 “Oloni babangi baje banalibanga bakapwa bamamaneselelo, co bamamaneselelo bakapwa bakulibanga.
