8 Mwakusaya kucedwa, Jezu adacita ulendo bwakuzungira mzinda na mzinda, mudzi na mudzi acimbapalizira mafala yabwino ya Umambo bwa Mulungu. Ndipo apostolo wace 12 wale akhanaye pabodzi, 2 kuphatanidzambo akazi omwe akhadacosedwa mizimu yakuipa na kupozedwa matenda: Mariya omwe akhacemeredwambo Madalena, omwe adacosedwa bziwanda 7; 3 Juwana mkazi wa Kuza, omwe akhali nyakunyang’anira nyumba ya Herode; Suzana na akazi winango azinji omwe akhawatumikira na kuwathandiza na bzinthu bzawo.

4 Pomwe thimu likulu la wanthu lidatsonkhana pabodzi na wale omwe akhamutewera kucokera ku mizinda yakusiyana-siyana, Jezu adayamba kuwapfunzisa mwakuphatisa basa ciratizo, 5 iye adati: “Munthu munango adayenda kukabzala mbeu. Pomwe iye akhabzala, mbeu zinango zidagwera m’mphepete mwa mseu zicipondedwa, ndipo mbalame zidabwera zicidya mbeuzo.” 6 Zinango zidagwera pa mwala, ndipo pomwe zidamera, zidauma thangwe pakhalibe mnyontho. 7 Zinango zidagwera pakati pa minga, ndipo mingayo idakula, icitazisa mbeuzo kukula. 8 Tsono zinango zidagwera pa mataka yabwino ndipo pomwe zidamera, zidabala bzisapo kupitirira 100. Pomwe iye adamala kulewa bzimwebzi, adalewa mwakukuwa kuti: “Omwe ana makutu yakubva, abve.”

9 Tsono anyakupfunza wace adamubvunza kuti ciratizoci cikuthandauza ciyani. 10 Iye adati: “Imwepo mudapasidwa mwayi wakubvesesa cintsintsi cakupambulika ca Umambo bwa Mulungu, tsono winango ambandobva bziratizo basi, kuti napo awone, kuwona kwawoko kukhale kwakusaya phindu, ndipo napo abve, koma aleke kubvesesa thandauzo lace. 11 Ciratizoci thandauzo lace ndiri: Mbeu ni fala la Mulungu. 12 Mbeu zomwe zidagwera m’mphepete mwa mseu, ni wale omwe ambabva fala la Mulungu, ndipo Dyabu ambabwera acicosa fala lomwe likhadabzalidwa m’mitima mwawo kuti aleke kukhulupira na kupulumusidwa. 13 Ndipo zomwe zidagwera pa mwala, ni wale omwe akabva falalo ambalitambira mwakukondwa, tsono iwo ambakhala alibe mizi. Ambakhulupira kwa kanthawe kakucepa, tsono pa nthawe ya mayezo, iwo ambagwa. 14 Ndipo zire zomwe zidabzalidwa pa minga, ni wale omwe ambabva fala, tsono thangwe ra kutengeka na cuma, thupo na bzinthu bzakutsangalaza bza pa moyo, iwo ambatazira kukula bwino, ndipo bzisapo bzawo bzimbakhwima lini. 15 Tsono zire zomwe zidagwera pa mataka yabwino, ni wale omwe akabva falalo na mtima wabwino, ambaliphatisisa ndipo ambabala bzisapo mwakupirira.

16 “Palibe munthu omwe pambuyo pa kugasa kandiyero, ambaigwanankhira na citundu ayai kuiikha kuntsi kwa kama, koma ambaiikha pa mbuto yakuikhira kandiyeroyo kuti omwe an’pita awone ceza. 17 Pakuti palibe cinthu cakubisika comwe cin’dzadziwika lini; ndipo palibe cinthu comwe cidabisidwa bwino-bwino comwe cin’dzawonekera lini padeca. 18 Tenepo, tetekerani bwino-bwino bzomwe mukubvabzi, pakuti omwe anabzo, an’dzathumiziridwa acikhala na bzizinji, tsono ule omwe alibe, napo bzomwe akukumbuka kuti anabzo an’dzatengeredwa.”

19 Patsogolo pace, mai wace na abale wace adabwera, tsono thangwe ra thimu la wanthu, iwo alibe kukwanisa kufika pomwe pakhana iyepo. 20 Tenepo wanthuwo adamuuza kuti: “Mai wanu na abale wanu ali panjapa, ndipo an’funa kukuwonani.” 21 Pakuwatawira iye adati: “Mai wangu na abale wangu ni awa omwe ambabva fala la Mulungu aciliteweza.”

22 Ntsiku inango iye na anyakupfunza wace adapakira mwadiya, ndipo iye adawauza kuti: “Mbatiyambukireni ku ng’ambu inango ya thawale.” Tenepo iwo adacapa aciyenda. 23 Pomwe iwo akhayenda, Jezu adagona. Ndipo kudayambika conzi camphanvu mu thawalemo, mwakuti mwadiya omwe akhadapakirayo udayamba kudzala madzi, ndipo iwo akhali pa ngozi. 24 Tenepo iwo adamulamusa acilewa kuti: “Mpfunzisi, mpfunzisi, tikufa ife!” Iye adamuka acitsimula conzico pabodzi na mabimbi ya mphanvu mwakuti bzentsebzi bzidalekeza ndipo kudakhala zii. 25 Patsogolo pace iye adawabvunza kuti: “Kodi cikhulupiro canu ciri kuponi?” Tsono iwo akhabva mantha kwene-kwene ndipo adadabwa mwakuti akhabvunzana kuti: “Kodi umweyu ni mbani maka-maka? Iye ambatonga conzi na madzi ndipo ibzo bzimbamubvera!”

26 Ndipo iwo adakatsama m’dera la Ajerazeno, komwe kukhali ku ng’ambu inango ya Galileya. 27 Pomwe Jezu adabuluka m’mwadiyamo, munthu munango omwe akhana bziwanda adacoka mu mzindamo aciyenda kukagumana na Jezu. Iye adamala nthawe itali ali pezi, ndipo akhambakhala lini m’nyumba koma m’thenje. 28 Pomwe munthuyo adandowona Jezu, iye adakuwa ndipo adagodama pamaso pace, acilewa mwakukuwa kuti: “Kodi ndakuphonyerani ciyani ine, Jezu, Mwana wa Mulungu Mkululetu? Ndaphata minyendo, lekani kundiboneresa.” 29 (Pakuti Jezu akhadauza mzimu wakuipayo kuti ucoke mwa munthuyo. Mzimu wakuipayo ukhaboneresa munthuyo kwa nthawe itali, ndipo wanthu akhambam’manga mwakubwereza-bwereza na makorenti, manja na minyendo acimbamulindira, tsono iye akhambabwedza makorentiyo ndipo ciwandaco cikhambamuyendesa kutali na wanthu.) 30 Jezu adamubvunza kuti: “Dzina lako ndiwe yani?” Iye adatawira kuti: “Ndine thimu,” thangwe munthuyo akhadapitidwa na bziwanda bzizinji. 31 Bziwandabzo bzidapitiriza kumudandaulira kuti aleke kubzithothera ku ciphompho. 32 Tsono pafupi na pamwepo, pakhana thimu la nkhumba lomwe likhadya pa phiri, tenepo bziwandabzo bzidamudandaulira kuti bzipite mu nkhumbazo, ndipo iye adabzibvumiza. 33 Bziwandabzo bzidabula mwa munthuyo bzicipita mu nkhumbazo, ndipo izo zidayenda pa nkhomole zicibzithusira mu thawale, ndipo zentse zidamira. 34 Tsono pomwe anyakusamalira nkhumbazo adawona bzomwe bzidacitikabzo, iwo adathawa acikafotokozera wanthu wa mu mzinda na wa m’midzi ya pafupi.

35 Tenepo, wanthu adayenda kukawona bzomwe bzikhadacitikabzo. Pomwe iwo adafika pomwe pakhana Jezupo, iwo adawona kuti munthu omwe akhadacosedwa bziwanda ule, akhadabvala ndipo akhali bwino-bwino. Iye akhadakhala pafupi na Jezuyo, ndipo wanthuwo adabva mantha. 36 Wale omwe adawona bzomwe bzikhadacitikabzo, adawafotokozera momwe munthu omwe akhana bziwanda ule adapozedwera. 37 Ndipo wanthu azinji omwe akhakhala pafupi na dera la Ajerazeno, adakumbira Jezu kuti acoke kumweko, thangwe iwo akhabva mantha kwene-kwene. Tenepo iye adapakira mwadiya kuti ayende. 38 Tsono munthu omwe akhadacosedwa bziwanda ule, adapitiriza kumukumbira kuti ambafambe naye pabodzi, tsono Jezu alibe kubvuma, ndipo adamuuza kuti: 39 “Bwerera kumui kwako, ndipo ukapitirize kuuza wanthu bzinthu bzomwe Mulungu wakucitira.” Munthuyo adayendadi, ndipo adadziwisa mu mzinda wentseyo bzomwe Jezu adamucitira.

40 Pomwe Jezu adabwerera, thimu la wanthu lidamutambira na manja mawiri, pakuti wentse akhamudikhirira. 41 Ndipo kudafika munthu munango dzina lace Jairo omwe akhali mtsogoleri wa mu nyumba yakunamatira.* Iye adagodamira Jezu acimudandaulira kuti ayende kumui kwace, 42 thangwe mwana wace wacikazi m’bodzi yekha, omwe akhana magole 12 yakubadwa, akhaduwala mwakuti akhali penu-penu.

Pomwe Jezu akhayenda kumweko, wanthu azinji akhamupsindiza. 43 Pamwepo pakhana mkazi munango omwe akhana matenda yakucoka mulopa kwa magole 12, ndipo palibe ali-wentse omwe adakwanisa kum’poza. 44 Iye adafenderera Jezu na kumbuyo acikhuya m’mphepete mwa cakubvala cace cakunja, ndipo pa nthawe imweyoletu mulopa waceyo udaduma. 45 Tenepo, Jezu adalewa kuti: “Mbani wandikhuya?” Pomwe wentse adagaza, Pedru adalewa kuti: “Mpfunzisi, wanthu wentsewa akuzungulirani ndipo akukupsindizani.” 46 Tsono Jezu adalewa kuti: “Alipo munthu omwe wandikhuya, thangwe ndabva kuti mphanvu yacoka mwa ine.” 47 Pakuwona kuti bzomwe akhadacitabzo bzadziwika, mkaziyo adayenda pomwe pakhana Jezupo akutetemera, ndipo adamugodamira acilewa pamaso pa wanthu wentse thangwe lomwe adamukhuira na momwe iye adapozedwera pa nthawe imweyoletu. 48 Tsono iye adauza mkaziyo kuti: “Mwanangu, cikhulupiro cako cakulimbisa. Ndoko mwa mtendere.”

49 Ali mkati mwa kulewalewa, padafika mwamuna munango omwe akhacokera kumui kwa Jairo, ndipo adauza Jairoyo kuti: “Mwana wanu ule wafa; Lekani kumunesa mpfunzisiyu.” 50 Pakubva bzimwebzi, Jezu adauza Jairoyo kuti: “Leka kugopa, ndokhala na cikhulupiro basi, ndipo mwana wako an’dzakhala pomwe na moyo.”* 51 Pomwe adafika kumuiko, iye alibe kubvumiza ali-wentse kupita naye pabodzi m’nyumbamo kupambula Pedru, Juwau, Tiyago, pabodzi na abereki wa mtsikanayo. 52 Tsono wanthu wentse akhalira na kubzimenya pa nkhombe thangwe ra kusunama. Tenepo Jezu adawauza kuti: “Lekani kulira, thangwe mtsikanayo alibe kufa koma wandogona tulo.” 53 Pomwe iye adalewa bzimwebzi, wanthuwo adayamba kuseka mwakumunyoza, thangwe akhadziwa kuti mwanayo akhadafadi. 54 Tsono iye adaphata boko la mtsikanayo acilewa kuti: “Mtsikanawe, lamuka!” 55 Tenepo mtsikanayo adakhala pomwe na moyo,* ndipo pa nthawe imweyoletu adamuka, ndipo Jezu adawauza kuti amupase cinthu kuti adye. 56 Abereki wa mtsikanayo adakomedwa kwene-kwene, tsono Jezu adawauza kuti aleke kuuza munthu ali-wentse bzomwe bzikhadacitikabzo.
