Ya m’Bukhu la Luka 16:1-31
16 Patsogolo pace, Jezu adauzambo anyakupfunza wace kuti: “Munthu munango wakudala, akhana nyabasa wace omwe akhanyang’anira nyumba yace, omwe adapasidwa mulandu wakudzonga cuma ca mbuya wace.
2 Tenepo, iye adamucemera acimuuza kuti: ‘Nkhani yomwe ndikubva pakulewa bza iwepo, njabwino lini. Ndoko ukanembe tsamba la momwe ukhaphatisira basa kobiri zangu, thangwe iwepo un’pitiriza lini pomwe kunyang’anira nyumba yangu.’
3 Na tenepo, nyakunyang’anirayo adayamba kukumbuka mu mtima mwace kuti: ‘Ndicite ciyani tsapano, pakuti mbuya wangu akundicosa basa? Ndiribe mphanvu yakuti ningalime, ndipo ndina manyazi yakumbafamba ndicimbakumbira.
4 Yaa! Ndadziwa bzomwe ningacite kuti wanthu adzanditambire bwino m’mii mwawo ndikacosedwa basa.’
5 Ndipo iye adacemera wentse omwe akhana mangawa na mbuya waceyo, ndipo adabvunza wakuyamba kuti: ‘Kodi udafiyali ciyani kwa mbuya wangu?’
6 Iye adatawira kuti: ‘Mitsuko 100* ya mafuta ya miolivera.’ Nyakunyang’anirayo adati: ‘Tenga tsamba lakutsimikizira mangawa yako, ndipo khala unembe tsapanopa mitsuko 50.’
7 Patsogolo pace, iye adabvunza pomwe munango kuti: ‘Kodi iwepombo udafiyali ciyani?’ Iye adati: ‘Masakha* 100 ya tirigu.’ Iye adamuuza kuti: ‘Tenga tsamba lakutsimikizira mangawa yako, ndipo nemba masakha 80.’
8 Napo kuti nyakunyang’anirayo akhali wakusaya kulungama, koma mbuya waceyo adamutenda thangwe ra kucita kwace bzinthu mwanzeru.* Pakuti wanthu wa mu dziko lino,* mbanzeru kwene-kwene pakucita bzinthu na wanthu wa m’badwo wawo, kuposa wana wa ceza.
9 “Tenepo ndikukuuzanimbo kuti: Citani uxamwali mwakuphatisa basa cuma canu cakusaya kulungama, kuti cumaco cikadzamala, axamwaliwo adzakutambireni ku mbuto zakusaya kumala.
10 Munthu omwe ni wakukhulupirika pa bzinthu bzing’ono-ng’ono, ni wakukhulupirikambo pa bzizinji, ndipo munthu omwe ni wakusaya kulungama pa bzinthu bzing’ono-ng’ono, ni wakusaya kulungamambo pa bzinthu bzizinji.
11 Tenepo, mukasaya kukhala wakukhulupirika pa kuphatisa basa cuma cakusaya kulungama, mbani omwe angadzakupaseni basa lakunyang’anira cuma cacadidi?
12 Ndipo mukasaya kukhala wakukhulupirika pa kuphatisa basa bzinthu bza mwenekaciro, mbani an’dzakupasani bzinthu bzomwe bzidakoyedwera imwepo?
13 Palibe nyabasa omwe angatumikire ambuya awiri; pakuti an’dzawenga m’bodzi acifuna munango, ayai an’dzabvera m’bodzi acinyoza munangoyo. Imwepo mungakhale lini kapolo wa Mulungu na wa cuma pa nthawe ibodzi-bodziyo.”
14 Afarizeu omwe akhafuna kwene-kwene kobiri, akhatetekera bzinthu bzentsenebzi, ndipo iwo adayamba kumunyoza.
15 Tenepo, Jezu adawauza kuti: “Imwepo mumbabziti ndimwe wanthu wakulungama pamaso pa wanthu, tsono Mulungu ambadziwa mitima yanu. Pakuti cinthu comwe cimbawoneka kukhala cakufunika kwene-kwene pamaso pa wanthu, ni cakunyantsa pamaso pa Mulungu.
16 “Lamulo pabodzi na Apolofeta, akhadaleweratu bzomwe bzingadadzacitika mpaka mu nthawe ya Juwau. Kuyambira pamwepo kuyenda kutsogolo, Umambo bwa Mulungu bukupaliziridwa ninga mafala yabwino, ndipo wanthu wa mitundu yentse akucita nyongo kuti apite.
17 Kulewa cadidi, mpsakupusa kuti kudzulu na dziko la pantsi bzicoke kuposa kuti kacinembo ka Lamulo kasaye kukwanisika.
18 “Ali-wentse omwe anilamba mkazace acikalowola munango, wacita upombo, ndipo munthu omwe anilowola mkazi wakulambidwayo, wacitambo upombo.
19 “Pakhana munthu munango wakudala omwe akhambabvala bzakubvala bzakuumira. Iye akhakondwa ndipo akhadya bwino ntsiku zentse.
20 Tsono munthu munango wakusauka* wakucemeredwa Lazaro, omwe akhana bzironda thupi lentse, akhaikhidwa pa msuwo wa munthu wakudalayo.
21 Iye akhafunisisa kudya tunvululu tomwe tukhagwa pa meza ya munthu wakudalayo. Ndipo mbwaya zikhabwera kudzanyanguta bzironda bzacebzo.
22 Na kupita kwa nthawe, munthu wakusauka ule adadzafa ndipo anjo adamutenga acikamuikha pambali pa Abalahamu.*
“Ndipo munthu wakudala ule adadzafambo acikapendesedwa.
23 Pomwe akhazunzika m’Thenje,* iye adanyang’anisa kudzulu aciwona Abalahamu na patali ndipo Lazaro akhali pambali pace.*
24 Tenepo, iye adakuwa aciti: ‘Pai Abalahamu, ndibverenimbo ntsisi ndipo tumani Lazaroyo kuti akabvuike mtsonga ya cala cace m’madzi kuti adjedjerese lirime langu, pakuti ndikubonera kwene-kwene na moto uzinjiyu.’
25 Tsono Abalahamu adamuuza kuti: ‘Mwanangu, kumbukira kuti pomwe iwepo ukhana moyo, udatambira bzinthu bzabwino bzokha-bzokha, tsono Lazaro adatambira bzakuipa bzokha-bzokha. Tsapano iye akutsangalazidwa kuno, ndipo iwepo ukubonera.
26 Ndipo kuthumizira bzimwebzi, pana ciphompho cikulu pakati pa ifepano na imwepo, mwakuti wanthu omwe ali kuno an’kwanisa lini kubwera kumweko, ndipo omwe ali kumweko an’kwanisambo lini kubwera kuno.’
27 Tenepo, munthu wakudalayo adati: ‘Pai, penu bziri tenepoyo, ndikukumbira kuti mutume Lazaroyo kuti ayende kumui kwa pai wangu.
28 Pakuti ndina abale wangu axanu, musiyeni ayende akawacenjeze kuti iwo aleke kubwerambo ku mbuto yakuwawa ino.’
29 Tsono Abalahamu adamutawira kuti: ‘Iwo ana mabukhu yakunembedwa na Mozeji na Apolofeta; ambabvere bzomwe bziri m’mabukhumo.’
30 Tenepo iye adati: ‘Ne pai Abalahamu, munthu acicoka kwa anyakufa kuno aciyenda kumweko, iwo an’dzakungula.’
31 Tsono iye adamutawira kuti: ‘Penu iwo an’bvera lini bzomwe Mozeji na Apolofeta adanemba, napo munthu wakucokera kwa anyakufa an’dzamubverambo lini.’”
