7Choncho ndinaweta nkhosa zoikidwa kuti ziphedwe, zosautsidwa kwambiri za mu gululo. Ndinatenga ndodo ziwiri, nayitcha imodzi Chisomo ndipo inayo Umodzi, ndipo ndinaweta nkhosazo. 8Mwezi umodzi ndinachotsa abusa atatu. Ndinatopa nawo mumtima, ndipo iwonso anandida. a a v8 Kuti 'abusa atatu' anali ndani sikudziwika; palibe maganizo a akatswiri amene avomerezedwa ndi onse. 9Ndipo ndinati, “Sindidzakuwetaninso. Amene akufa afe, amene ayenera kuwonongeka awonongeke, ndipo otsalawo adye thupi la mnzawo.”
10Ndinatenga ndodo yanga Chisomo, nayithyola, kuswa pangano limene ndinapangana ndi mitundu yonse ya anthu. 11Choncho linaswedwa tsiku limenelo, ndipo osauka a mu gulu la nkhosa amene anali kundiyang'ana anadziwa kuti awa anali mawu a Atate wathu. 12Ndinati kwa iwo, “Ngati mukuona kuti ndiabwino, ndipatseni malipiro anga; ngati sichoncho, sungani.” Choncho anayeza malipiro anga—ndalama zasiliva makumi atatu. b b v12 Ndalama zasiliva makumi atatu izi ndi mtengo weniweni umene Chipangano Chatsopano chimautcha kuti ndi ndalama zoperekedwa pa kupereka Yesu (Mateyu 27:9-10).
