Marko asatoma Evanjelyu yace na mafala anewa ene (Marko 1:2), pontho Yezu asaaphatisira kuna Juwau (Luka 7:27). 2“Mbwenye mbani anakwanisa kupirira ntsiku inafika iye? Mbani anakwanisa kulimira iye angaonekera? Iye ali ninga moto wa nyakusungunula pfuma, ninga sabau ya nyakusamba nguwo. 3Iye anakhala pansi mbasungunula na kucenesa parata; iye anacenesa ana a Levi, mbaasungunula ninga ouro na parata, na iwo anabweresa ntsembe kuna Baba wathu mwakulungama. 4Penepo ntsembe ya Yuda na ya Yerusalema inakomeresa Baba wathu, ninga m'ntsiku zakale, ninga m'pyaka pyakale.”

Bwererani kuna Baba Wanu
6Thangwi Ine, Baba wanu, nkhabe kucinja; natenepa imwe, ana a Yakobe, hamudafudzwa tayu.
7Kubulukira m'ntsiku za ambuya anu imwe mwasiya matongero anga mbamukhonda kuakoya. Bwererani kuna Ine, Ine ndinabwerera kuna imwe, alonga Baba wa mauto a kudzulu. Mbwenye imwe musabvundza: ‘Tinabwerera tani?’
8Kodi munthu anakwanisa kubera Baba wace? Mbwenye imwe musandibera Ine. Mbwenye imwe musabvundza: ‘Takuberani tani?’ Mu cakhumi na mu ntsembe. 9Imwe mwatemberwa na ntemberero, thangwi imwe musandibera Ine—dzinza yonsene ya imwe. 10Bwereserani cakhumi consene mu nyumba yakukoyera pinthu, toera kukhale cakudya n'nyumba mwanga. Ndiyeserani Ine mu pyenepi, alonga Baba wa mauto a kudzulu, mbamuona khala Ine nkhabe kukufungulirani majanela a kudzulu na kukuthirirani nkhombo mpaka pakukhonda kusowa cinthu pontho. 11Ndinatsutsa nyakufudza thangwi ya imwe, toera iye akhonde kufudza misapo ya dziko yanu, na muti wanu wa mauva m'munda nkhabe kucimwana kubala, alonga Baba wa mauto a kudzulu. 12Penepo madzinza onsene anakucemerani akusimbwa, thangwi imwe munakhala dziko yakukomeresa ntima, alonga Baba wa mauto a kudzulu.
13Mafala anu akhali akuwanga kakamwe kwa Ine, alonga Baba wathu. Mbwenye imwe musabvundza: ‘Talonganji kuntsutsa Imwe?’
14Imwe mwalonga: ‘Kutumikira Mulungu nkhabe phindu. Taphindulanji mukukoya matongero ace na mukufamba ninga anyakutsukwala patsogolo pa Baba wa mauto a kudzulu?’ 15Cincino tisacemera anyakudzikuza akusimbwa. Ale anacita pyakuipa asapindula; ngakhale asayesera Mulungu mbapulumuka.
16Penepo ale akhagopa Baba wathu alonga unango na ndzace, Iye abvesera mbabva. Bukhu yakukumbukira yalembwa patsogolo pace thangwi ya ale anan'gopa Iye na kulemedza dzina yace.
17Iwo anakhala anga, alonga Baba wa mauto a kudzulu, pa ntsiku inandicita Ine pyanga, mpfuma yanga yakufunika kakamwe. Ndinaabvera ntsisi ninga baba anabvera ntsisi mwana wace anan'tumikira. 18Pontho imwe munaona kusiyana kwa anyakulungama na anyakuipa, pakati pa ule anatumikira Baba wathu na ule anakhonda kuntumikira Iye.
