1 “Wutwa wa kumbindi kwa Chapanga wifwana nga mundu yumu munachitava cha misabibu, yavelili kafuma pamalavila puti kuvavika vagolafichuku va muchitava chaki. 2 Awombanili nawu kuvahomba mbiya ijala ya lijuva limu, pambeli kavayegha muchitava chaki cha misabibu. 3 Kawuka kandi saa tatu pamalavila, kavawona vandu vamonga vawoloka kusoku, vavahela chichuku cha kugola. 4 Kavawombela, ‘muyendi kuchitava changu cha misabibu mukagoli chichuku, nenga dandivahombi ijala yenu.’ 5 Topi, vayenda. Yula munachitava kawuka kandi saa sita pamusi na saa tisa kagola nga wuwula wula. 6 Hata payifikili saa lilongu na limu palumihi, kawuka kandi, kavawona vandu vamonga vawoloka pala pasoku. Topi, kavadasha, ‘Mbona muwoloka apa pamusi posi ngajila kugola chichuku?’ 7 Vamuyangula, ‘Kwa nongwa kwahela mundu yatukemili tukagoli chichuku, mweni kavawombela na yumwi muyendi mukagoli chichuku cha muchitava changu cha misabibu.’

8 “Lijuva palihongili yula munachitava kamuwombela mkola mbiya waki, vakemi vagola chichuku uvahombi ijala yawu, ‘Ukandi na vala vafikili kumbeli, pambeli umalishili na vala vakwaa.’ 9 Topi, vayisa vala yivayisili saa lilongu na limu vapokela kila mundu ijala ya lijuva limu. 10 Vala va kwaa kufika pavafikili, vakacheyi davapokeli sitangalili, lakini veni vapata ngimu wuwula wula kila mundu ijala ya lijuva limu. 11 Vasipokela mbiya shawu, vakanda kumung'ong'utekela yula bambu. 12 Vadeta, ‘Ava vafikili kumbeli vagola chichuku cha kwa lisaa limu hela. Mbona kutugolela tulinganili na veni kunu yufwi twiwunishila tugola chichuku chikomi na lijuva likali lituyakila?’

13 “Topi yula bambu kamuyangula yula muyawu yumu, ‘pikanishi ghanja, ngubanja chindu ng'odu! Twawombanili ng'odu na nenga, kucha ndivahombi ijala ya lijuva limu? 14 Toli ijala yaku, yendi, ngudayila kumupa ayu wa kumbeli mulinganili na yuwi. 15 Ndivahela haki ya kugola mali shangu ngimu wudayila ndimweni? Wuli, ukuwona weyi kwanongwa nenga ndiva msangi?’ ”

16 Yesu kamalilila kwa kudeta, “Ndi dayivi nahawu, yivavelili kumbeli ponopa davavi vakwaa na vakwaa davavi va kumbeli pambeli.”

17 Yesu paghaveyi akuyenda kumbindi Yelusalemu, avatolili vala vanachuli lilongu na vavili pachifisu na paghaveyi mudeha kavawombela, 18 “Mpikanishi! Tukuyenda Yelusalemu na aku Mwana wa Mundu davamuhadishi kwa mtambika mkomi na vawula va Malawu, veni davamuhighi awulayiwi kwa kumuvangilila mulupingika. 19 Davamuhadishi kwa vandu vangajila kumumanya Chapanga ili vamudanili, dalatuliwi ndomondu na kuvangiliwa mulupingika, lakini lijuva lya tatu kukandila pasovili, dashukushiwi.”

20 Mdala wa Sebidayu amwisilili Yesu pamu na vana vaki, katundama pawulongolu yaki kumuluva chindu.

21 Yesu kamudasha, “Chiwudayila liki?”

Mawu yula kamuwombela, “Ngukuluva undangi muwutwa waku, ava vana vangu vavili vayikali yumu mwambu waku wa mlilu na wingi mwambu waku wa mkiyi.”

22 Yesu kamuyangula, “Mumanya ha kucha mukuluva chindu liki. Mukuwesha kulandila lwindi lwa ndeshiwu danandili nenga?”

Vamuyangula, “Tukuwesha.”

23 Yesu kavawombela, “Nakaka damulandili lwindi lunandila nenga, lakini kwikala kumulilu awu kumukiyi chichuku cha ya nenga ha, chindu achi davapati vala yivashawuliwili kala na Tati wangu.”

24 Vala vanachuli vamonga lilongu pavapikanishili afi, vavalakalila vala valongu vavili. 25 Yesu kavakema, kavawombela, “Mumanya kucha vatavala va vandu vangajila kuva Vayawudi vakutavala vandu vawu kwa mawovi na vakomi vala vakuvatavala vandu vawu. 26 Lakini kwa yumwi yikotoo kuva nahawu, ila yadayila kuva mkomi gati ya yumwi ghavi ndumindumi wa vosi, 27 na yadayila kuva wa kwaa gati ya yumwi ghavi ndumindumi wa yumwi. 28 Ndambu yiyeyi, Mwana wa Mundu kayisa kukimbanikiwa ha, ila kukimbanika na kutawula unofu waki kuva badili ya vandu vatangalili.”

29 Yesu paghaveyi akuwuka mbwani ya Yeliku, lipinga lya vandu lyamukovikelili. 30 Topi kwavelili na vangalimesu vavili vayikalili mumbalimbali ya deha, pavapikanishili kucha Yesu akupita pala, valandushili lishu, “Bambu, mwana wa Dawudi, wutuwoneli lusungu!”

31 Lila lipinga lya vandu livalakalila na kuvawombela vanyamali. Lakini veni valandusha nendu lishu, “Bambu mwana wa Dawudi, wutuwoneli lusungu!”

32 Yesu kawoloka, kavakema na kuvadasha, “Mukudayila ndivagoleli liki?”

33 Vamuyangula, “Bambu, tukuluva tuloli.”

34 Topi, Yesu kavawonela lusungu, kavagufya mesu vawu na tepu vawesha kulola, pambeli vamukovikela.
