Kucita bzabwino ayai bzakuipa? Kupulumusa moyo ayai kupha?” Tsono iwo adandonyamala. 5 Pomwe Jezu adanyang’anisa wentse omwe akhali pamwepowo na ciya na kusunamambo kwene-kwene thangwe ra kuuma mtima kwawo, iye adauza munthuyo kuti: “Futhula boko lako.” Iye adafuthuladi, ndipo bokolo lidalimbiratu. 6 Tenepo, Afarizeuwo adabula panja, ndipo pa nthawe imweyoletu iwo adayenda kukabverana na wa cipani ca* Herode kuti akonze ciwembo cakupha Jezu.

Patsogolo pace iye adapita m’nyumba, 20 ndipo thimu la wanthu lidagwezekana pomwe. Na tenepo, iwo alibe kukhala na nthawe kuti adye. 21 Koma pomwe adzinza wace adabva bzimwebzo, iwo adayenda kuti akamutenge pakuti akhalewa kuti: “Iye akupenga.” 22 Ndipo anembi wakucokera ku Jeruzalemu akhambalewambo kuti: “Umweyu ana Belezebu,* ndipo iye ambacosa bziwanda na mphanvu ya mtongi wa bziwandayo.” 23 Tenepo, iye adawacemera aciwauza bziratizo: “Kodi Sathani angacose tani Sathani? 24 Wanthu wa mu umambo akamenyana okha-okha, umambobo bungapfudzike; 25 ndipo wanthu wa m’nyumba ibodzi akamenyana okha-okha, nyumbayo imbagwa. 26 Ndipopa, penu Sathani akubziphindukira yekha ndipo wagawanika ndiye kuti angapitirize lini koma angapfudzike. 27 Kulewa cadidi, palibe omwe angapite m’nyumba mwa munthu wamphanvu acimubera bzinthu bzace acisaya kuyamba kumumanga. Akamumanga, ni pomwe angakwanise kumubera m’nyumba mwacemo. 28 Cadidi ndikukuuzani kuti, wana wa wanthu an’dzalekereredwa bzinthu bzentse, bziribe basa pikado yomwe iwo an’cita na mafala yakunyoza yomwe iwo anilewa. 29 Tsono ali-wentse omwe aninyoza mzimu wakucena, an’dzalekereredwa lini mpaka kale-kale, koma an’dzakhala na mulandu wa pikado yakusaya kumala.” 30 Jezu adalewa bzimwebzi thangwe iwo akhamulewa kuti: “Umweyu ana mzimu wakuipa.”*
