Ya m’Bukhu la Mateu

19 Pomwe Jezu adamala kulewa bzimwebzi, adacoka ku Galileya aciyenda ku malire ya Djudeya, ku ng’ambu inango ya Joridano. 2 Mathimu mazinji ya wanthu yadamutewera ndipo kumweko iye adapoza atenda.

3 Ndipo Afarizeu adayenda komwe kukhana Jezuko na cakulinga cakuti akamuyeze. Tenepo, iwo adamubvunza kuti: “Kodi mpsakubvumizika mwamuna kulamba mkazi wace pa thangwe liri-lentse?” 4 Jezu adatawira kuti: “Kodi mulibe kuwerenga kuti omwe adalenga wanthu pa ciyambi, adawalenga mwamuna na mkazi, 5 acilewa kuti: ‘na thangwe limweri, mwamuna an’dzasiya pai wace na mai wace, acidzaphatana na mkazi wace, ndipo awiriwo an’dzakhala thupi libodzi?’ 6 Ndipopa, iwo mbawiri lini pomwe, koma thupi libodzi. Tenepo, wale omwe Mulungu awaphatanidza pabodzi, munthu aleke kuwatsudzula.” 7 Iwo adamubvunza kuti: “Tsono thangwe ranyi Mozeji adalewa kuti mwamuna angapase mkazi tsamba lakumalisira malowozi, acimulamba?” 8 Iye adatawira kuti: “Mozeji adakubvumizani kumbalamba azikazanu thangwe ra kuuma mitima kwanuku, koma bzikhali lini tenepoyo kucokera paciyambi. 9 Ine ndikukuuzani kuti, ali-wentse omwe anilamba mkazi wace pa thangwe liri-lentse kupambula penu iye wacita uputa,* acikalowola mkazi munango, wacita upombo.”

10 Anyakupfunza wace adalewa kuti: “Penu bziri tenepoyo pakati pa mwamuna na mkazace, bziri bwino kundoleka na kulowolako.” 11 Iye adawatawira kuti: “Ni wentse lini omwe angakwanise kucita bzimwebzi, koma kokha wale omwe ana mphaso. 12 Pakuti pana winango omwe ambalowola lini thangwe rakuti adabadwa ngomwa, ndipo winango ambalowola lini thangwe ra kucitisidwa na wanthu, pomwe winango ambalowola lini thangwe ra Umambo bwa kudzulu. Ule omwe angakwanise kukhala yekha acisaya kulowola, mulekeni acite bzimwebzo.”

13 Pamwepo, wanthu adamubweresera wana ang’ono kuti iye awasimbe* na kuwapempherera, tsono anyakupfunza wace akhawaletsa. 14 Jezu adawauza kuti: “Asiyeni wanawo abwere kuna ine, lekani kuwaletsa, pakuti Umambo bwa kudzulu ni bwa wanthu ninga wanawa.” 15 Ndipo iye adawasimba,* acicoka kumweko.

16 Ndipo kudabwera mulumbwana munango acimubvunza kuti: “Mpfunzisi, ni cabwino ciponi comwe nin’funika kucita kuti ndidzagumane moyo wakusaya kumala?” 17 Iye adamutawira kuti: “Thangwe ranyi ukundibvunza kuti cabwino n’ciponi? Wabwino ni Mulungu yekha basi. Tsono penu un’funa kudzatambira moyo, mbateweza malamulo nthawe zentse.” 18 Tenepo mulumbwanayo adamubvunza kuti: “Malamulo yaponi?” Jezu adati: “Leka kupha munthu, leka kucita upombo ayai uputa, leka kuba, leka kupereka umboni bwakunama, 19 mbalemekeza pai wako na mai wako ndipo umbafune mwanzako ninga momwe umbabzifunira wekha.” 20 Mulumbwanayo adati: “Nimbateweza kale bzentsenebzi, n’ciyani cikusala pomwe?” 21 Jezu adamutawira kuti: “Penu un’funa kukhala wakulungama,* ndoko ukagulise bzentse bzomwe unabzo ndipo kobirizo ukapase anyakusauka, ndipo iwepo un’dzakhala na cuma kudzulu; ukamala ubwere udzakhale mteweri wangu.” 22 Pomwe mulumbwanayo adabva bzimwebzi, adacoka pamwepo wakusunama, thangwe iye akhana bzinthu bzizinji kwene-kwene. 23 Tenepo, Jezu adauza anyakupfunza wace kuti: “Cadidi ndikukuuzani kuti, bzin’dzakhala bzakunesa kuti munthu wakudala adzapite mu Umambo bwa kudzulu. 24 Kulewa cadidi, mpsakupusa kuti ngamira ipite pa kamubo ka mtsingano, kuposa kuti munthu wakudala adzapite mu Umambo bwa Mulungu.”

25 Pomwe anyakupfunzawo adabva bzimwebzo, adadabwa kwene-kwene ndipo adati: “Tsono mbani maka-maka omwe angadzapulumusidwe?” 26 Jezu adawanyang’anisisa aciwauza kuti: “Kwa wanthu, bzimwebzi bzingakwanisike lini, koma kwa Mulungu bzinthu bzentse mpsakukwanisika.”

27 Pamwepo Pedru adalewa kuti: “Ifepano tasiya bzinthu bzentse ticikutewerani; tsono tin’dzatambira ciyani?” 28 Jezu adati kwa iwo: “Cadidi ndikukuuzani kuti, bzinthu bzentse bzikadzakonzedwa papsa ndipo Mwana wa munthu akadzakhala pa mpando wace wa Umambo, imwepo omwe mwanditeweramwe mun’dzakhala m’mipando 12 ndipo mun’dzatonga madzinza 12 ya Jirayeri. 29 Ndipo ali-wentse omwe anisiya nyumba, abale, mpfumakazi, pai, mai, wana ayai minda thangwe ra dzina langu, an’dzatambira bzizinji kuposa bzimwebzi kubwerezera maulendo 100 ndipo an’dzatambirambo moyo wakusaya kumala.

30 “Tsono azinji omwe mbakuyamba an’dzakhala wakumalizira ndipo wakumalizira, an’dzakhala wakuyamba.
