2 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Kodi mukuganiza kuti Agalileya amenewa anali ochimwa kwambiri kuposa Agalileya ena onse chifukwa anavutika mʼnjira iyi?
3 Ine ndikuti, ayi! Koma ngati inu simutembenuka mtima, inunso mudzawonongeka nonse.
4 Kapena anthu 18 aja amene anafa nsanja ya Siloamu itawagwera, kodi mukuganiza kuti iwo aja anali ochimwa kwambiri kuposa onse amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu?
5 Ine ndikuti, ayi! Koma ngati inu simutembenuka mtima, inunso mudzawonongeka nonse.”
6 Kenaka Iye anawawuza fanizo kuti, “Munthu wina anali ndi mtengo wamkuyu, umene anadzala mʼmunda wamphesa, ndipo Iye anapita kukayangʼana zipatso, koma sanazipeze.
7 Tsono kwa munthu amene amasamalira munda wamphesawo anati, ‘Kwa zaka zitatu tsopano ndakhala ndikubwera kudzafuna chipatso pa mtengo uwu ndipo sindinachipeze. Udule! Nʼchifukwa chiyani ukuwononga nthaka?’
8 “Munthuyo anayankha kuti, ‘Bwana, tawusiyani kwa chaka chimodzi chokha ndipo ine ndikumba ngalande mozungulira ndi kuthira manyowa.
9 Ngati udzabale zipatso chaka chamawa, zili bwino! Koma ngati sudzabala, pamenepo mudzawudule.’”
10 Pa Sabata Yesu ankaphunzitsa mʼsunagoge ina,
11 ndipo momwemo munali mayi amene anali ndi mzimu woyipa umene unamudwalitsa zaka 18. Iye anali wokhota msana ndipo samatha kuweramuka ndi pangʼono pomwe.
12 Yesu atamuona anamuyitana kutsogolo ndipo anati kwa iye, “Amayi, mwamasulidwa ku mavuto.”
13 Kenaka anasanjika manja ake pa iye, ndipo nthawi yomweyo anawongoka nayamika Mulungu.
14 Chifukwa cha kuyipidwa kuti Yesu anachiritsa pa Sabata, wolamulira sunagoge anati kwa anthu, “Pali masiku asanu ndi limodzi ogwira ntchito. Choncho bwerani kuti mudzachiritsidwe masiku amenewo osati pa Sabata.”
15 Ambuye anamuyankha kuti, “Iwe wachiphamaso! Kodi nonsenu simumasula pa Sabata ngʼombe zanu kapena bulu kumuchotsa mʼkhola ndi kupita naye kukamupatsa madzi?
16 Nanga mayiyu, amene ndi mwana wa Abrahamu, ndipo anamangidwa ndi Satana zaka 18, kodi siwoyenera kuti amasulidwe msinga imeneyi pa tsiku la Sabata?”
17 Atanena izi, onse omutsutsa anachititsidwa manyazi, koma anthu anakondwera ndi zodabwitsa zonse zimene Iye anazichita.
18 Kenaka Yesu anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ufumu wa Mulungu uli ngati chiyani? Kodi Ine ndingawufanizire ndi chiyani?
19 Uli ngati mbewu ya mpiru, imene munthu anatenga ndi kudzala mʼmunda mwake. Inakula, nʼkukhala mtengo, ndipo mbalame zamlengalenga zinakhala mʼnthambi zake.”
20 Iye anafunsanso kuti, “Kodi ufumu wa Mulungu ndingawufanizire ndi chiyani?
21 Uli ngati yisiti amene mayi anatenga ndi kusakaniza ndi ufa wambiri mpaka anafufumitsa ufawo.”
22 Ndipo Yesu anayendayenda mʼmizinda ndi mʼmidzi, kumaphunzitsa pamene Iye ankapita ku Yerusalemu.
23 Wina anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Ambuye, kodi ndi anthu ochepa okha amene adzapulumutsidwe?” Iye anawawuza kuti,
24 “Yesetsani kulowa pa khomo lopapatiza, chifukwa ndikukuwuzani kuti ambiri adzafuna kulowa koma sadzatha kutero.
25 Nthawi yomwe mwini nyumba adzayimirira ndi kutseka chitseko, inu mudzayima kunja kugogoda ndi kudandaula kuti, ‘Bwana, tatitsekulirani khomo.’ “Koma Iye adzayankha kuti, ‘Ine sindikukudziwani ndipo sindikudziwanso kumene mwachokera.’
26 “Ndipo inu mudzati, tinkadya ndi kumwa ndi inu ndipo munkaphunzitsa mʼmisewu yathu.
27 “Koma Iye adzayankha kuti, ‘Ine sindikukudziwani ndipo sindikudziwanso kumene mwachokera. Chokereni inu nonse ochita zoyipa!’
28 “Mudzalira ndi kukuta mano mukadzaona Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo ndi aneneri onse ali mu ufumu wa Mulungu koma inuyo mutaponyedwa kunja.
29 Anthu adzachokera kummawa ndi kumadzulo, kumpoto ndi kummwera, kudzakhala pa phwando mu ufumu wa Mulungu.
30 Ndithudi otsirizira ndiye adzakhale oyambirira, ndipo oyambirira ndiye adzakhale otsirizira.”
31 Pa nthawi imeneyo Afarisi anabwera kwa Yesu ndipo anati kwa Iye, “Chokani malo ano ndipo pitani kumalo ena aliwonse. Herode akufuna kukuphani.”
32 Iye anayankha kuti, “Pitani kawuzeni nkhandweyo, Ine ndikutulutsa ziwanda ndi kuchiritsa anthu lero ndi mawa ndipo tsiku lachitatu ndidzakwaniritsa cholinga changa.”
33 Mʼnjira ina iliyonse, Ine ndiyenera kupitirira ulendo wanga lero, mawa ndi mkuja. Zoona nʼzakuti mneneri sangafere kunja kwa Yerusalemu.
34 Iwe Yerusalemu, Yerusalemu! Umapha aneneri ndi kuwagenda miyala anthu amene atumizidwa kwa iwe. Nthawi zambiri ndakhala ndikufuna kusonkhanitsa ana ako pamodzi, monga nkhuku imasonkhanitsira anapiye pansi pa mapiko ake, koma iwe sunafune!
35 Taona, nyumba yako yasanduka bwinja. Ine ndikukuwuza kuti, sudzandionanso mpaka pamene udzati, “Wodala amene akubwera mʼdzina la Ambuye!”
