7 ¹Atatha kuyankhula zonsezi kwa anthu, analowa mu Kaperenao. ²Kapolo wa mkulu wa asilikali wina, amene anamkonda, anali wodwala ndipo anali pafupi kufa. ³Atamva za Yesu, mkulu wa asilikaliyo anatuma akulu a Ayuda, kumpempha kuti adze kudzachiritsa kapolo wake. ⁴Atafika kwa Yesu, anampempha mwamphamvu nati, Iye ngoyenera kuti mumchitire ichi, ⁵pakuti amakonda mtundu wathu, ndipo ndiye amene anatimangira sunagoge wathu. ⁶Yesu anapita nao. Ali pafupi kufika panyumba, mkulu wa asilikaliyo anatuma abwenzi kudzanena kuti, “Ambuye, musavutike—sindine woyenera kuti mulowe pansi pa denga langa. ⁷Nchifukwa chake sindinayesere kudza kwa Inu. Koma nenani mau, ndipo kapolo wanga achiritsidwe. ⁸Pakuti inenso ndine munthu wokhala pansi pa ulamuliro, ndipo ndili ndi asilikali pansi panga. Ndikati kwa wina, ‘Pita,’ ndipo amapita; kwa wina, ‘Bwera,’ ndipo amabwera; kwa kapolo wanga, ‘Chita ichi,’ ndipo amachita.”

⁹Atamva zimenezi, Yesu anadabwa ndi mkulu wa asilikaliyo, natembenukira kwa khamu lomutsatira, nati, “Ndinena kwa inu, sindinapeze chikhulupiriro chotere ngakhale mu Israeli.”

¹⁰Ndipo pamene otumidwa aja anabwerera kunyumba, anapeza kapolo uja ali bwino.

Yesu Aukitsa Mwana wa Mkazi Wamasiye

¹¹Posakhalitsa, anapita kumzinda wotchedwa Naini, pamodzi ndi ophunzira ake ndi khamu lalikulu la anthu. ¹²Pamene anafika pafupi ndi chipata cha mzinda, anthu anali kunyamula munthu wakufa—mwana wobadwa yekha wa amayi ake, amene anali wamasiye—ndipo khamu lalikulu la anthu a mumzindawo linali pamodzi ndi iye.

¹³Ambuye atamuona, anamchitira chifundo, nati kwa iye, “Usalire.” ¹⁴Anasendera pafupi, nakhudza chithatha; onyamula anaima, ndipo anati, “Mnyamata, ndinena kwa iwe, dzuka.”

¹⁵Ndipo wakufa uja anakhala tsonga nayamba kuyankhula, ndipo Yesu anampereka kwa amayi ake.

¹⁶Mantha anawagwira onse; anatamanda Atate wathu, nati, “Mneneri wamkulu wauka pakati pathu!” “Atate wathu ayendera anthu ake!” ¹⁷Ndipo mbiri iyi ya iye inafalikira ku Yudeya konse ndi ku dziko lonse lozungulira.

Yohane Afunsa Kuti: Kodi Inu Ndinu Ameneyo?

¹⁸Ophunzira a Yohane anamuuza zinthu zonsezi. Ndipo Yohane anaitana awiri a ophunzira ake, ¹⁹nawatuma kwa Ambuye, nati, “Kodi Inu ndinu amene akudza, kapena tiyembekezere wina?” ²⁰Anthuwo atafika kwa Iye, anati, “Yohane Mbatizi anatituma kwa Inu, kufunsa kuti, ‘Kodi Inu ndinu amene akudza, kapena tiyembekezere wina?’”

²¹Pa nthawi imeneyo anachiritsa anthu ambiri matenda, miliri, ndi mizimu yoipa, ndipo anapatsa kuona kwa anthu ambiri akhungu.

²²Anayankha nati kwa iwo, “Pitani mukauze Yohane zimene mwaona ndi kumva: akhungu akuona, olumala akuyenda, akhate akuyeretsedwa, ogontha akumva, akufa akuuka, ndipo osauka akumva uthenga wabwino. ²³Ndipo wodala munthu amene sakhumudwa ndi Ine.”

²⁴Amithenga a Yohane atachoka, Yesu anayamba kuyankhula ndi makhamu a anthu za Yohane, nati, “Kodi munapita kuchipululu kukaona chiyani? Bango logwedezeka ndi mphepo? ²⁵Nanga munapita kukaona chiyani? Munthu wovala zovala zofewa? Taonani—amene amavala zovala zokongola, nakhala moyo wa zokoma, amakhala m'nyumba za mafumu. ²⁶Koma munapita kukaona chiyani—mneneri? Inde, ndinena kwa inu, woposa mneneri. ²⁷Uyu ndiye amene Malemba amanena za iye, kuti, ‘Taona, ndikutuma mthenga wanga patsogolo panu, kuti akonze njira yanu patsogolo panu.’

²⁸Ndinena kwa inu, pakati pa obadwa ndi akazi palibe wamkulu woposa Yohane—komatu wamng'ono koposa mu ufumu wa Atate wathu ndi wamkulu kuposa iye.”

²⁹(Anthu onse atamva zimenezi, pamodzi ndi amisonkho, anavomereza kuti Atate wathu ngwolungama, popeza anabatizidwa ndi ubatizo wa Yohane, ³⁰koma Afarisi ndi akatswiri a malamulo anakana cholinga cha Atate wathu pa iwo okha, popeza sanabatizidwe ndi iye.).

³¹“Nanga ndifanizire anthu a m'badwo uwu ndi chiyani, ndipo akufanana ndi chiyani? ³²Ali ngati ana okhala pamsika, oitanana wina ndi mnzake, kuti, ‘Tinakuimbirani chitoliro, koma simunavine; tinayimba nyimbo yamaliro, koma simunalire.’ ³³Pakuti Yohane Mbatizi anadza osadya buledi, osamwa vinyo, ndipo inu munati, ‘Iye ali ndi chiwanda.’ ³⁴Mwana wa Munthu anadza akudya ndi kumwa, ndipo inu munati, ‘Taonani, munthu wadyera ndi woledzera, bwenzi la amisonkho ndi ochimwa!’ ³⁵Komatu nzeru imatsimikiziridwa kukhala yoyenera ndi ana ake onse.” ^a a v35 Nzeru imadzitsimikizira yokha ndi zimene imabereka—kuchiritsa kwa Yesu ndi uthenga wabwino zimaonetsa kuti Iye ndani kwenikweni.

Anakhululukidwa Zambiri, Nakonda Kwambiri

³⁶Mfarisi wina anamuitana kuti adye naye; iye analowa m'nyumba ya Mfarisiyo, nakhala patebulo. ³⁷Mkazi wina mumzinda, wochimwa, anamva kuti Yesu anali patebulo m'nyumba ya Mfarisiyo, nabweretsa botolo la alabasitala la mafuta onunkhira. ³⁸Ataimirira kumbuyo kwake, pa mapazi ake, akulira, anayamba kunyowetsa mapazi ake ndi misozi yake, nawapukuta ndi tsitsi lake, napsompsona mapazi ake, nawadzoza ndi mafuta onunkhira. ³⁹Mfarisi amene anamuitana atamuona, anaganiza mu mtima wake, kuti, “Munthu uyu akanakhala mneneri, akanadziwa kuti ndani akumkhudza, ndi kuti mkaziyu ndi wotani—wochimwa.”

⁴⁰Yesu anayankha nati kwa iye, “Simoni, ndili ndi chinthu chakuti ndikuuze.” Iye anati, “Nenani, Mphunzitsi.”

⁴¹“Wobwereketsa ndalama wina anali ndi anthu awiri a ngongole. Wina anali ndi ngongole ya madinari 500, ndipo winayo makumi asanu. ⁴²Popeza onse awiri analephera kubweza, anawakhululukira ngongole zawo zonse. Nanga ndani wa iwo adzamukonda kwambiri?”

⁴³Simoni anayankha nati, “Ndikuganiza kuti ndi uja amene anamkhululukira ngongole yaikulu.” Yesu anati, “Waweruza molondola.”

⁴⁴Natembenukira kwa mkaziyo, anati kwa Simoni, “Kodi ukumuona mkazi uyu? Ndinalowa m'nyumba yako—iwe sunandipatse madzi a mapazi anga, koma iye ananyowetsa mapazi anga ndi misozi yake, nawapukuta ndi tsitsi lake. ⁴⁵Iwe sunandipsompsone, koma iye, kuyambira pamene ndinalowa, sanaleke kupsompsona mapazi anga. ⁴⁶Iwe sunadzoze mutu wanga ndi mafuta, koma iye wadzoza mapazi anga ndi mafuta onunkhira. ⁴⁷Nchifukwa chake ndinena kwa iwe, machimo ake ambiri akhululukidwa, chifukwa anakonda kwambiri. Koma amene wakhululukidwa pang'ono amakonda pang'ono.” ⁴⁸Ndipo anati kwa iye, “Machimo ako akhululukidwa.”

⁴⁹Ndipo oitanidwa anzake anayamba kufunsana wina ndi mnzake, kuti, “Ndani uyu, amene akhululukiranso machimo?”

⁵⁰Ndipo anati kwa mkaziyo, “Chikhulupiriro chako chakupulumutsa; pita mu mtendere.”
