25 “Umambo bwa kudzulu, bungandendemezeredwe na madende 10 yomwe yadatenga makandiyero yawo yaciyenda kukacingulira namwali wacimuna.
2 Axanu wa iwo akhali wakupusa, ndipo axanu akhali wakucenjera.*
3 Madende yakupusayo yadatenga makandiyero yawo koma yalibe kutenga mafuta yanango ya pambali,
4 tsono madende yakucenjerayo yadatenga mafuta yanango ya pambali pabodzi na makandiyero yawo.
5 Pakuti namwaliyo akhacedwa kufika, wentsenewo adayamba kuwodzira ndipo adamalizira kugona.
6 Pakati pa usiku padabveka kukuwa kuti: ‘Namwali ule wafika! Ndokoni mukagumane naye.’
7 Tenepo, madende yentseneyo yadamuka yaciyamba kukonzekera makandiyero yawo.
8 Madende yakupusayo yadauza madende yakucenjera yale kuti: ‘Tipasenimbo mafuta pang’ono thangwe makandiyero yathu yan’thima tsapanopa.’
9 Madende yakucenjerayo yadatawira kuti: ‘Pinango mafutaya yangakwane lini tikagawana. Ndokoni kwa omwe ambagulisa mafuta mukagule yanu.’
10 Pomwe iwo akhayenda kukagula mafutayo, namwali ule adafika. Ndipo madende yomwe yakhadakonzeka yale, yadapita naye mu nyumba ya phwando la malowozi ndipo msuwo udafungidwa.
11 Patsogolo pace, yadadzafikambo madende yanango yale yacilewa kuti: ‘Mbuya, mbuya, tifungulirenimbo!’
12 Iye adawatawira kuti: ‘Kulewa cadidi, inepano nimbakudziwani lini.’
13 “Tenepo, pitirizani kukhala tceru thangwe imwepo mun’dziwa lini ntsiku ne nthawe.
14 “Umambo bwa kudzulu bungandendemezeredwembo na munthu omwe akhafuna kucita ulendo. Tsono pomwe akhanati kucoka, adacemeresa akapolo wace wentse aciwasiira cuma cace.
15 Wakuyamba, adamupasa matalento* maxanu; waciwiri, adamupasa matalento mawiri; ndipo wacitatu, adamupasa talento ibodzi; ali-wentse mwakubverana na luso lace. Na tenepo, iye adacita ulendo bwace.
16 Pa nthawe imweyoletu, omwe adatambira matalento maxanu ule, adayenda kukacita malonda ndipo adaphindula matalento yanango maxanu.
17 Mpsibodzi-bodzimbo na omwe adatambira matalento mawiri ule, adaphindulambo mawiri.
18 Tsono kapolo omwe adatambira talento ibodzi ule, adayenda kukafucira pantsi kobiri* ya mbuya waceyo.
19 “Pomwe padapita nthawe itali, mbuya ule adabwera kudzawona bzomwe akapolo wace akhadacita na kobirizo.
20 Tenepo, omwe adatambira matalento maxanu ule, adabwera na yanango maxanu acilewa kuti: ‘Mbuya, mudandipasa matalento maxanu, tsono onani, ndaphindula pomwe matalento yanango maxanu.’
21 Mbuya waceyo adamuuza kuti: ‘Wacita bwino, kapolo wabwino na wakukhulupirika! Iwepo wakhulupirika pa bzinthu bzing’ono. Nin’kuikha kuti unyang’anire bzinthu bzizinji. Kondwa pabodzi na mbuya wakone.’
22 Patsogolo pace, omwe adatambira matalento mawiri ule adafikambo acilewa kuti: ‘Mbuya, mudandipasa matalento mawiri, tsono onani, ndaphindula pomwe matalento yanango mawiri.’
23 Mbuya waceyo adamuuzambo kuti: ‘Wacita bwino, kapolo wabwino na wakukhulupirika! Iwepo wakhulupirika pa bzinthu bzing’ono. Nin’kuikha kuti unyang’anire bzinthu bzizinji. Kondwa pabodzi na mbuya wakone.’
24 “Pakumalizira pace, adabwera kapolo omwe adatambira talento ibodzi ule acilewa kuti: ‘Mbuya, inepano nimbadziwa kuti ndimwe munthu wakunesa, mumbabvuna pomwe mulibe kubzala ndipo mumbatsonkhanisa pomwe mulibe kumwaza.
25 Ndipopa ndidacita mantha ndipo ndidayenda kukabisa talento yanuyo pantsi. Na tenepo, talento yanu iyi.’
26 Mbuya waceyo adamutawira kuti: ‘Kapolo wakuipa na wautofu, bzin’funa kulewa kuti iwepo ukhadziwa kale kuti inepano nimbabvuna pomwe ndiribe kulima ndipo nimbatsonkhanisa pomwe ndiribe kumwaza?
27 Tsono wasayiranyi kukaikha kobiri* yanguyo ku thenthe* kuti ndikabwera ndidzaitambire na cimbadzo?*
28 “‘Tenepo, mutengereni talento ibodziyo mupase omwe ana matalento 10 ule.
29 Pakuti omwe anabzo, an’dzathumiziridwa acikhala na bzizinji. Tsono ule omwe alibe, an’dzatengeredwa napo bzomwe anabzo.
30 Ndipo thusani kapolo wakuipayo kunja, ku mdima. Kumweko, iye an’dzalira acikeketa mano.’
31 “Mwana wa munthu akadzabwera mu ulemerero bwace pabodzi na anjo wentse, iye an’dzakhala pa mpando wace wa ulemerero.
32 Mitundu yentse ya wanthu in’dzatsonkhanisidwa patsogolo pace, ndipo iye an’dzalekanisa wanthuwo, ninga momwe makabusa ambalekanisira mabira na mbuzi.
33 Ndipo iye an’dzaikha mabira ku boko lace lamadidi, tsono mbuzi an’dzaziikha ku boko lace lamadzere.
34 “Patsogolo pace, Mamboyo an’dzauza omwe ali ku boko lace lamadidi wale kuti: ‘Bwerani imwe omwe mwasimbidwa na Baba wangu, tambirani Umambo bomwe budakonzedwera imwepo kucokera pa ciyambi ca dziko.
35 Pakuti pomwe ndikhana njala, imwepo mudandipasa cakudya; pomwe ndikhana nyota, imwepo mudandipasa madzi; pomwe ndikhali mulendo, imwepo mudanditambira bwino;
36 pomwe ndikhana usiwa, imwepo mudandipasa bzakubvala; pomwe ndikhaduwala, imwepo mudandisamalira; ndipo pomwe ndikhali m’kawoko, imwepo mudabwera kudzandiwona.’
37 Tenepo, anyakulungamawo an’dzamutawira kuti: ‘Mbuya, ni lini pomwe tidakuwonani muna njala ticikupasani cakudya, ayai muna nyota ticikupasani madzi yakumwa?
38 Ni lini pomwe tidakuwonani ninga mulendo ifepano ticikutambirani bwino, ayai muna usiwa, ifepano ticikupasani bzakubvala?
39 Ni lini pomwe mudaduwala ayai mukhali m’kawoko ifepano ticibwera kudzakuwonani?’
40 Mamboyo an’dzawatawira kuti: ‘Cadidi ndikukuuzani kuti, bzomwe mudacitira abale wangu ang’onowa, mudacitirambo inepano.’
41 “Patsogolo pace, iye an’dzauza omwe ali ku boko lace lamadzere kuti: ‘Cokani pano, imwe wanthu wakutembereredwa; ndokoni ku moto wakusaya kumala omwe udakonzedwera Dyabu na anjo wace.
42 Thangwe pomwe ndikhana njala, imwepo mulibe kundipasa cakudya; pomwe ndikhana nyota, imwepo mulibe kundipasa madzi yakumwa.
43 Pomwe ndikhali mulendo, imwepo mulibe kunditambira bwino; pomwe ndikhana usiwa, imwepo mulibe kundipasa bzakubvala; pomwe ndikhaduwala na pomwe ndikhali m’kawoko, imwepo mulibe kubwera kudzandiwona.’
44 Iwo an’dzamutawirambo kuti: ‘Mbuya, ni lini pomwe tidakuwonani muna njala, muna nyota, ndimwe mulendo, muna usiwa, mukuduwala ayai muli m’kawoko ifepano ticisaya kukutumikirani?’
45 Mamboyo an’dzawatawira kuti: ‘Cadidi ndikukuuzani kuti, bzomwe mulibe kucitira abale wangu ang’onowa, mulibembo kucitira inepano.’
46 Amwewa an’dzayenda ku infa yakusaya kumala,* tsono wakulungama, an’dzayenda ku moyo wakusaya kumala.”
