1 Yesu kawalongela iwanang'ina wake, “Tsahana imunu yumwe yane mali nyingi, naye tsakana mtunza mali wake. Imunu ayo tsakahulika ka mtunza mali wake kapwililitsa mali tsake hela. 2 Apfo kamkema mng'anda kamghutsa, ‘Angu mbuli tsachi tsanihulike tsikulonga ghweghwe? Nipetele ipfinu pfose pfubokele na pfulapfile, kwaapfila ng'udaha bae kuwa keli mtunza mali wangu.’ 3 Mtunza mali kelongela mmoyo, ‘Mtwatsa wangu katsoniwinga mne isang'ano. Apfi nitsotendatse? Nahela ingupfu ya kulima, na nakwona chinyala kulomba. 4 Sambi nomanya chinu chachi chanitsotenda ili hanitsowingighwa mne isang'ano yangu, iwanu wanibokele mmakaye mwawo.’

5 “Apfo kawakema iwanu wose iwodahighwa na imtwatsa wake. Kamghutsa ayula yalongole kutsa, ‘Apfi, mtwatsa wangu yokudahi sendi ngapi?’ 6 Kamwidika, ‘Pfiya miya imwe pfa ghamafuta gha tsaituni.’ Mtunza mali ayo kamlongela, ‘Sola cheti chako, kala hasi, wandike pfiya miya tano.’ 7 Kuya kamghutsa imunu wa keli, ‘Naghwe, udahighwa choni?’ Kamwidika, ‘Maghuniya elufu imwe gha ngano.’ Mwimilitsi kamlongela, ‘Sola cheti chako wandike maghuniya miya nane.’

8 “Imtwatsa kamtunya mtunza mali yula yehile kwaapfila katenda ipfinu kwa kukengela. Kwaapfila iwanu iwali mne isi ino wakengela mna kutenda ipfinu pfawo kubita iwanu iwali mne ghumwanga.”

9 “Nowalongela, mtsitendele tsimali itsili muisi kwipatila sale tsenu wenyegho, ili hatsitsomala, mbokelighwe nawo mne chibumbulika cha ghamatsuwa ghose. 10 Imunu wowose iyotogholighwa mne ichinu chidodo katsotogholighwa mne ichinu chikulu, ne imunu wowose yang'atogholighwa mne ichinu chidodo pfipfila ng'atsotogholighwa bae mne ichinu ichikulu. 11 Kuya ka ng'amtogholighwe bae kwika tsimali tsili mne isi, apfi yuhi iyatsowatoghola kwika tsimali tsa kweli? 12 Ka ng'amtogholighwe bae mna tsimali tse imunu yungi, yuhi yatsoweng'a mwemwe tsimali tsenu iwenyegho?

13 “Kuduhu imtumwa iyodaha kuwasang'anila iwatwa weli. Kwaapfila katsomwihila yumwe na kumnoghela yungi; katsolunga na yumwe na kumbetsa yungi. Ng'amdaha bae kumtumikila Imulungu na sendi.”

14 Mafarisayo iwonoghela tsisendi hawahulike apfo, tsawambetsa Yesu. 15 Yesu kawalongela, “Mwemwe mwelangusa kwe iwanu mnogha, lekeni Imulungu koimanya imimoyo yenu. Kwaapfila ichinu ichikwoneka chinogha kwe iwanu, kwe Imulungu chakoneka chiha.

16 “Ghamalaghitso gha Musa na mbuli tsa manabii tsipetighwa mbaka mne ichipindi cha Yohane Mbatitsa. Kulawa ichipindi acho, mbuli tsinoghile tse Undewa we Imulungu tsipetighwa, na chila imunu kakwingila kwe ingupfu. 17 Pfibewe kwe ililanga ne isi ukwagha, kubita kuhunguka ichinu chidodo mne Ghamalaghitso.

18 “Immale wowose iyomleka mwehe wake na kumkwela ipinga yungi kotenda utsinzi, ne immale iyomkwela ipinga iyalekighwe kotenda utsinzi.”

19 “Tsahana imunu yumwe tajiri yang'ali yopfala maghwanda gha tsambalau ighaghulighwe kwa sendi nyingi, chila litsuwa yeye yang'ali yohondola pfijo pfinoghile. 20 Hane ha libani lyake likulu, tsakekighwa imunu yumwe mhingwa yakemighwe Lazali yane ipfilonda pfingi, 21 yabamile kuja ipfijo ipfilaghale kulawa mmetsa mwe tajiri. Na iwambwa wamghendela wamlambita ipfilonda pfake.

22 “Hambele, Lazali kafa kuya kasolighwa ne wamalaika mbaka mmambagha mwa Abrahamu. Imunu tajiri pfipfila naye kafa kuya katsikighwa. 23 Akula kutsimu, ang'ali yodununzika ng'ani, kalola kuchanya, kamwona Abrahamu kwa kutali hamwe na Lazali iyakalile mmambagha mwake. 24 Apfo kamkema kwa ukukemelela, ‘Aba Abrahamu, mbonele libatsi! Umtume Lazali achike ichidole chake mne ghamatsi aluhotse lulimi lwangu, kwaapfila nene namne usungu mkulu mne ghumoto ghuno!’ ”

25 “Lekeni Abrahamu kamwidika, ‘Wikumbuke mwanangu, mne ughima wako tsakubokela apfila ipfinoghile na Lazali tsakabokela ipfihile. Lekeni sambi Lazali kabahano kodeng'elela, naghwe kwodununzika. 26 Hata apfo, mghati mwetu na mwemwe kwikighwa kolongo kulu, ili imunu iyobama kuloka kulawa kuno kutsa kuna mwemwe aleke kudaha, pfipfila kuduhu imunu iyodaha kuloka kulawa kuna mwemwe kutsa kuna twetwe!’ 27 Imunu tajiri kalonga, ‘Kuya nokulomba aba wangu, umtume Lazali aghende mne kaye ya aba wangu, 28 amo mna ndughu tsangu watano. Mlekelele aghende akawalongele waleke kutenda ka pfanitendile, ili waleke kutsa hanu hano ha kudununzika.’ ”

29 “Abrahamu kamwidika, ‘Ndughu tsako wenao Musa na manabii, leka wawategheletse wawo.’ 30 Tajiri kalonga, ‘Bae aba wangu. Lekeni ka imunu yatsilihuke kowaghendela, watsotsileka nzambi.’ 31 Abrahamu kamlongela, ‘Ka ng'awowategheletsa Musa na manabii, ng'awatsotegheletsa hata ang'atsilihuka imunu.’ ”
