1 Yesu tsakengila mne ghumji ghwa Yeriko na yang'ali yobita mghati mwa ghumji agho. 2 Na ako kukala ne imunu yumwe taghwa lyake Sakayo, imkulu we iwasola kodi, naye tsakakala tajiri. 3 Tsakabama amwone Yesu yalitse, lekeni ng'adahile bae kwaapfila tsahana iwanu wengi, naye tsakakala mghuyi. 4 Apfo katsuma, kawalongolela iwanu, kadina mchanya mwe mkuyu ili amwone Yesu, kwaapfila katsobitila inzila iila. 5 Yesu hapfikile hanu hala, kalola mchanya, kamlongela Sakayo, “Sakayo, hima uhulumke, kwaapfila leloli nobamighwa nisinde mng'anda mwako.”

6 Apfo Sakayo kuhulumka himahima kambokela kwa kudeng'elela. 7 Iwanu wose hawonile apfo, wandusa kunung'unika na ukulonga, “Kaghenda kukala kwa ‘imunu yane nzambi.’ ”

8 Lekeni Sakayo kema, kamlongela Yesu, “Lola Imtwatsa, nene nitsoweng'a wahingwa inusu ye ipfinu pfangu, na ka nimboka imunu wowose ichinu, nitsomuyitsila mala nne.”

9 Yesu kamlongela, “Leloli ukombotsi upfika mne ing'anda ino, kwaapfila ayu naye kamtsukulu wa Abrahamu. 10 Mana Imwana wa Imunu katsa kubama na kukombola iwanu iwaghile.”

11 Hawahulike agho, Yesu kaghendelela kuwalongela imbuli, kwaapfila tsakakala habehi na Yerusalemu, nawo tsawapfikitsa ka undewa we Imulungu wahabehi kulawila. 12 Apfo kalonga, “Imunu yumwe wa lukolo lwa chindewa tsakaghenda mne isi ya kutali akabokele undewa kuya yoye ukaye. 13 Apfo kawakema iwanu kumi kulawa mne iwatumwa wake, kaweng'a tsisendi kawalongela, ‘Mtsitendele ng'onde ya kuchuutsa pfinu mbaka hanitsakuya.’ 14 Lekeni iwanu wa ghumji ghwake wamuhila, wawatuma iwanu wamghendele wakalonge, ‘Ng'atumbama bae imunu yuno atutawale.’ ”

15 “Haubokele undewa, tsakoya kalaghitsa iwatumwa yaweng'ile sendi wakemighwe ili amanye chawapatile. 16 Wamwanduso katsa, kalonga, ‘Mtwatsa sendi yako yungayile yeleka pfibughulu kumi.’ 17 Kamlongela, ‘Ghoya, mtumwa yunoghile. Kwaapfila kutogholighwa mna chinu chidodo, kwakuwa mkulu mne imiji kumi!’ 18 Na wa keli katsa, kalonga, ‘Mndewa, sendi yako tsungayile tseleka pfibughulu pfitano!’ 19 Naye kamlongela, ‘Naghwe kutsakuwa mkulu mne imiji mitano.’

20 “Kuya mtumwa yungi kalonga, ‘Mtwatsa, sendi yako ino tsaniifidika mne chitambala. 21 Mana tsanikupfuka kwaapfila ghweghwe kwa imunu mkali. Kosola ipfinu pfang'upfikile, na kupfuna achila ng'auchihandile bae.’ 22 Mtwatsa wake kamlongela, ‘Nitsokuhigha kwa achila chulongile, ghwe imtumwa wihile! Tsakumanya nene ne imunu mkali, nosola apfila si pfikile bae na nopfuna apfila sipfihandile bae, 23 ebali ng'awikile bae sendi yangu kubengi, na hanikuya niibokele kuno yongetseka.’

24 “Kuya kawalongela iwemile habehi, ‘Mbokeni sendi ayo, mkamwing'e yula yane kumi.’ 25 Nawo wamlongela, ‘Mtwatsa, ma kenatso kumi!’ 26 Naye kawedika, ‘Nowalongela chila yane chinu katsakongetsighwa, lekeni ayula yalihela chinu, hata chila chenacho katsobokighwa. 27 Sambi awala iwehile wangu iwolema nene ndeke kuwa mndewa wawo, waghaleni hano na muwakome aku nene nolola.’ ”

28 Yesu hamalitse kulonga apfo, kawalongolela kaghenda Yerusalemu. 29 Hapfikile habehi na Betifage na Betaniya, kune chidunda ichikemighwa Mitseituni, kawatuma iwanang'ina wake weli, 30 kawalongela, “Mghende mne tsikaye tsila tsamtsilola. Hamkwingila mna tsikaye atso, mtsomwona imwana we ipunda kohighwa, ng'ana yadinighwe ne imunu bae. Mumdohole mumghale hano. 31 Imunu wowose ang'awaghutsa, ‘Ebali mwumdohola?’ Mumlongele, ‘Mtwatsa kombama.’ ”

32 Na awala iwatumighwe waghenda wapfika ka Yesu pfawalongele. 33 Hawang'ali womdohola imwana we ipunda, iwenyegho wawaghutsa, “Ebali mwomdohola imwana we ipunda?”

34 Nawo wedika, “Mtwatsa kombama.” 35 Kuya wamghala kwa Yesu, watandika maghwanda ghao mmughongo mwa imwana we ipunda wamdinitsa Yesu mchanya mwake. 36 Na hang'ali yoghenda, iwanu watandika maghwanda ghawo mnzila.

37 Hapfikile habehi na mhulumko ghwa chidunda cha Mitseituni, mtingano mkulu ghwe iwanang'ina wake wandusa kudeng'elela na kumtunya Imulungu kwa kukemelela, kwa aghala makulu ghawonile. 38 Walonga,

39 Mafarisayo wamwenga iwakalile mna mtingano ghula wamlongela Yesu, “Mlangulitsi, uwalonge iwanang'ina wako wenyamale!” 40 Yesu kawedika, “Nowalongela, hawano wang'enyamala, ghamabwe ghano ghatsolapfa litsi.”

41 Hapfikile habehi na Yerusalemu na kughwona ghumji, kaghulilila, 42 kalonga, “Ung'amanyile leloli ipfinu ipfighala tseghamba! Lekeni sambi pfifisighwa mnenge mwako. 43 Kwaapfila ghamatsuwa ghatsokutsila, iwehile wako hawatsotsenga maboma, watsokupfingilila na kukubanyabanya chila ubali. 44 Watsokuhonda ghweghwe ne iwanagho mghati mwa mibanda yako. Ng'awatsokulekela libwe limwe mchanya mwe libwe, kwaapfila ng'umanyile bae ichipindi cha ukutsa kwe Imulungu.”

45 Kuya Yesu kengila kune ing'anda ye Imulungu, kandusa kuwawinga kunze iwanu iwang'ali woutsa ipfinu. 46 Kawalongela, “Yandikighwa, ‘Ing'anda yangu itsakuwa ng'anda ya ukulombela.’ Lekeni mwemwe muitenda iwe mango ya wabapfi.”

47 Chila litsuwa Yesu tsakalangulitsa mne Ing'anda ye Imulungu. Iwakulu we inambiko, iwolangulitsa Ghamalaghitso ne iwakulu we iwanu tsawabama wamkome, 48 lekeni ng'awapatile bae nzila ya kumkomela, kwaapfila iwanu wose wang'ali womuhulikitsa.
