8 Pomwe iye adabuluka m’phirimo, mathimu ya wanthu yadamutewera. 2 Ndipo padafika munthu munango omwe akhana mapere ndipo adamugodamira, acilewa kuti: “Mbuya, penu mun’funa ndipozeni.” 3 Iye adafuthula boko lace ndipo adamukhuya acilewa kuti: “Inde, nin’funa! Pozedwa matenda yakoya.” Pa nthawe imweyoletu, mapere yaceyo yadamala. 4 Patsogolo pace Jezu adamuuza kuti: “Leka kuuza munthu ali-wentse bza nkhaniyi, koma ndoko ukawonekere kwa antsembe ucikacita cakupereka comwe Mozeji adalewa, kuti cikhale umboni kwa iwo.”
5 Pomwe adapita mu mzinda wa Kafarnau, mkulu wa acikunda adabwera kuna iye acimudandaulira 6 kuti: “Mbuya, mtumiki wangu ndamusiya adagona kumui thangwe akuduwala kwene-kwene ndipo akukwanisa lini kumuka.” 7 Iye adamuuza kuti: “Ndikakafika kumuiko, nin’kamupoza.” 8 Tsono mkulu wa acikunda ule adamutawira kuti: “Mbuya, lekani kubonera kubwera kumui kwangu, pakuti ndine lini wakuthemera kukutambirani, ndolewani mafala yokha ndipo mtumiki wanguyo anilimba. 9 Pakuti inembo ndiri pantsi pa utongi ndipo ndina acikunda omwe nimbawatongambo. Ndikauza m’bodzi kuti: ‘Ndoko!’ iye ambayendadi, ndipo ndikauza munango kuti: ‘Bwera!’ iye ambabweradi, ndipo ndikauza kapolo wangu kuti: ‘Cita cakati!’ iye ambacitadi.” 10 Pomwe Jezu adabva bzimwebzi, adadabwa ndipo adauza omwe akhamutewerawo kuti: “Kulewa cadidi, ndikanati kuwona kale munthu wa cikhulupiro cikulu ninga cimweci mu Jirayeri. 11 Tsono ine ndikukuuzani kuti, wanthu azinji wa kumabvadzuwa na kumadokero, an’dzabwera ndipo an’dzakhala pa meza acidya pabodzi na Abalahamu, Izaki na Djakobo mu Umambo bwa kudzulu; 12 koma wana wa Umambo, an’dzathusidwa kunja ku mdima. Kumweko an’dzalira na kukeketa mano yawo.” 13 Tenepo, Jezu adauza mkulu wa acikundayo kuti: “Ndoko. Bzikucitikire mwakubverana na cikhulupiro comwe walatizaci.” Ndipo pa nthawe imweyoletu, mtumiki waceyo adalimba.
14 Ndipo pomwe Jezu adapita m’nyumba mwa Pedru, adawona amibzala wacikazi wa Pedruyo adagona thangwe akhadafesuka. 15 Tenepo, iye adaphata boko lawo, ndipo pa nthawe imweyoletu iwo adalimba ndipo adamuka aciwaphikira cakudya. 16 Tsono ku maulo kwace, wanthu adamubweresera wanthu azinji omwe akhana bziwanda; ndipo iye adacosa mizimu yakuipayo na mafala yokha, acipozambo wanthu azinji omwe akhaduwala, 17 ndipo bzimwebzi bzidacitisa kuti yakwanisike mafala ya mpolofeta Zaiya yakuti: “Iye adatenga matenda yathu ndipo adanyamula bzakuwawa bzathu.”
18 Pomwe Jezu adawona thimu la wanthu lomwe likhadamuzungulira, iye adauza anyakupfunza wace kuti: “Mbatiyambukireni ku ng’ambu inango ya Nyanza ya Galileya.” 19 Ndipo munembi munango adamufenderera, acimuuza kuti: “Mpfunzisi, inepano nin’kutewerani kuli-kwentse komwe muyendeko.” 20 Tsono Jezu adamuuza kuti: “Nkhandwe zina mphako zakukhala, ndipo mbalame zina bzitsa, koma Mwana wa munthu alibe ne pakutsamisira msolo wace.” 21 Ndipo nyakupfunza wace munango adalewa kuti: “Mbuya, ndibvumizeni kuti ndiyambe kukapendesa pai wangu.” 22 Tsono Jezu adamutawira kuti: “Pitiriza kunditewera, ndipo siya anyakufa apendesane okha-okha.”
23 Patsogolo pace, Jezu na anyakupfunza wace adapakira m’mwadiya aciyenda. 24 Ndipo mudayambika conzi camphanvu m’nyanzamo, mwakuti mabimbi yakhapita m’mwadiyamo; tsono Jezu akhadagona. 25 Ndipo iwo adayenda kukam’musa aciti: “Mbuya, tipulumuseni pakuti tinifa!” 26 Tsono iye adawabvunza kuti: “Kodi thangwe ranyi mukucita mantha tenepa wanthu wacikhulupiro cakucepamwe?” Patsogolo pace, iye adamuka acitsimula conzico na nyanzayo, ndipo bzidakhaliratu zii. 27 Tenepo anyakupfunza wace adadabwa na bzimwebzi aciti: “Kodi munthu umweyu adakhala tani? Pakuti napo conzi na nyanza bzimbamubvera.”
28 Pomwe adafika ku ng’ambu inango ire, mu dera la Gadareno, amuna awiri omwe akhana madimonyo adacoka m’thenje acikagumana na Jezu. Iwo akhali wakugopswa kwene-kwene, mwakuti palibe munthu omwe akhakhwimika kupita na njira imweyire. 29 Ndipo iwo adayamba kukuwa aciti: “Mun’funa ciyani kwa ife, imwe Mwana wa Mulungu? Mwabwera kudzatiboneresa pomwe nthawe inati kufika?” 30 Patali na pomwe pakhana iwopo, pakhana nkhumba zizinji zomwe zikhadya. 31 Tenepo, madimonyoyo yadayamba kumudandaulira kuti: “Penu mun’funa kuticosa, titumizeni ku mthithi wa nkhumba zire.” 32 Ndipo iye adayauza kuti: “Ndokoni!” Iyo yadacoka kuna amuna wale yacikapita mu nkhumba zire, ndipo mthithi wentse wa nkhumbazo udayenda pa nkhomole ucibzithusa m’nyanza ndipo zentse zidafera m’madzimo. 33 Omwe akhasamalira nkhumbazo adathawa acikapita mu mzinda, ndipo iwo adafotokozera wanthu bzinthu bzentse bzomwe bzikhadacitika, kuphatanidzambo bzomwe bzikhadacitikira amuna awiri omwe akhana madimonyo wale. 34 Na tenepo, wanthu wentse wa mu mzindamo adayenda kukagumana na Jezu ndipo pomwe iwo adamuwona, adamukumbira kuti acoke m’cigawo cawoco.
