1 Adawauza pomwe kuti, “N'cadidi ndiri kulewa kuti alipo winango pompano omwe an'dzafa lini akanati kuwona kufika kwa Umambo bwa Mulungu na mphambvu.”

2 Zatapita ntsiku zitanthatu, Jezu adatenga Pedru, Tiyagu na Juwau, acikwira nawo kuphiri litali kwa okha. Ndipo adasandusidwa Jezu pamaso pawo. 3 Bzakubvala bzace bzidasanduka bzicena, bziciyetima kuti mbe, kuposa momwe wakufula ali-yentse pa dziko angadacenesera. 4 Nthawe imweyo wakupfundzira wale adawona Eliya na Mozeji, alikuceza na Jezu. 5 Pedru adauza Jezu kuti, “Misiri, n'bzabwino kuti ife tikhale pano. Timange bzikumbi bzitatu, cibodzi canu, cinango ca Mozeji, na cinango ca Eliya.” 6 Akhalewa tenepo thangwe iye akhadziwa lini cakulewa sabwa iwo adabva mantha kwene-kwene. 7 Ndipo padafika mtambo uciwampsinkha. Mumtambomo mudabveka fala kuti:“Uyu ndiye Mwana wangu omwe nimbafuna, mum'bvere.” 8 Mwa cisututu, wakupfundzira wale pomwe adanyang'ana-nyang'ana, alibe kuwona wina, adandowona Jezu yekha.

9 Pomwe wakhabuluka m'phiri, Jezu adawaletsa kuti aleke kuwuza winango bzomwe adawona, mpaka Mwana-wa-Munthu amuke kwa wakufa. 10 Iwo adakoya cintsintsi cire, acimbabvudzana okha-okha kuti:“Kumuka kwa wakufa ndiko kulewa tani?” 11 Ndipo adambvundza aciti: “Kodi thangwe ranyi amisiri wa Mtemo ambalewa kuti Eliya an'dzakhala wakutoma kubwera?” 12 Jezu adatawira kuti: “N'cadidi, Eliya an'dzayamba kubwera kuti adzakondze bzentse. Tsono, thangwe ranyi bzakunemba bzimbalewa kuti Mwana-wa-Munthu an'dzaboneresedwa kwene-kwene na kunyozewa? 13 Tsono Ine ndiri kukuwuzani kuti Eliya adafika kale, ndipo wanthu winango adacita bzentse bzomwe iwo akhafuna ninga momwe Bzakunemba bzidalewera cipande ca iye.” Mal. 4.5,6. Mas. 22.1-18; Yes. 53.3.

14 Pomwe iwo adabwerera kwa wakupfundzira winango wale, adawona mthithi ukulu wa wanthu ukhadawazungulira ndipo Amisiri wa Mtemo akhatsutsana na wakupfundzira wale. 15 Pomwe wanthu wentsenewo adawona Jezu, adadabwa kwene-kwene, ndipo adam'thamangira kukam'musa. 16 Iye adawabvundza kuti: “Nandi muli kutsutsana ciani?” 17 Ndipo m'bodzi wa wanthuwo adatawira kuti: “M'pfundzisi, ndakubwereserani mwana wangu wacimuna thangwe adaphatidwa na mzimu wakuipa wakumutazisa kulewa-lewa. 18 Ndipo ukandom'phata, umbam'gwesa pantsi, aciyamba kucoka phobvu kumulomo, acimbakukuta mano, mpaka thupi gwa kuuma. Ndipo ndidakumbira wakupfundzira wanu kuti aucose, tsono adatazira.”

19 Pamwepo Jezu adawatawira kuti, “Hu! Wanthu wakusaya cikhulupiriro! Nin'dzakhala namwe mpaka lini? Ndin'dzapirira namwe mpaka lini? ndibweresereni.” 20 wadabwera naye. Pakuwona Jezu, mzimu wakuipa udayamba kusukusa mulumbwana ule mwa mphambvu, mpaka iye pantsi khu, nkhumbabvumbvulika, acicoka phobvu kumulomo. 21 Jezu adabvundza baba wace kuti:“Bzimwebzi bzidamuyamba lini?” Baba wace adati:“Bzidamuyamba ali mwana. 22 Mzimu umweyu umbakhala ucimbamugwesa kawiri-kawiri. Umbam'gwesa pamoto pinango mmadzi kufuna kumupha. Penu Imwe mungakwanisa, tibvereni ntsisi, tithandizeni.” 23 Jezu adati:“Uli kuti mungakwanise, bzinthu bzentse n'bzakukwanisika kuna omwe ana cikhulupiriro.” 24 Pamwepo baba wa mwana adakuwa [acidandaula] aciti, “Ndiri kukhulupirira. Ndithandizeni kusaya cikhulupiriro kwangu.”

25 Pomwe Jezu adawona kuti wanthu ali kuwanda pambutoyo, adawutsimula mwa ukali mzimu wakuipayo, adati:“Iwe mzimu wakutazisa kulewa-lewa na kubva, ndiri kukuuza kuti ucoke mwa mwanayu, ndipo leka kudzapita pomwe mwa iye.” 26 Mzimu ule udakuwa ucim'sukusa mwa mphambvu, ucicoka. Mwana ule adakhala ninga wafa, mpaka azinji akhambati, “Wafa.” 27 Ndipo Jezu adam'phata boko acimuimisa, iye adaima.

28 Pomwe Jezu adakapita mnyumba, wakupfundzira wace adamubvundza pambali, kuti, “Ife tidatazira tani kuucosa mzimu ule?” 29 Jezu adatawira kuti, “Mzimu wa mtundu umweyu ungacoke lini pakusaya kucita mpembo [na kubzimana kudya].”

30 Jezu na wakupfundzira wace adacoka kumbuto ire ndipo adapita na kuGalileya. Iye akhafuna lini kuti wanthu adziwe komwe akhali, 31 thangwe akhapfundzisa wakupfundzira wace, acimbawati:“Mwana-wa-Munthu an'dzaperekedwa kwa wanthu, ndipo an'dzamupha. Tsono angamupha, Iye an'dzamuka pomwe zingadzapita ntsiku zitatu.” 32 Tsono iwo alibe kubvesesa bzomwe iye akhalewa, ndipo akhagopa kumubvundza.

33 Ndipo wadafika kuKafernau. Pomwe iye akhali mnyumba, adawabvundza kuti: “Kodi panjira pale mukhambatsutsana ciani?” 34 Wakupfundzira wale adakhala cete, thangwe bzomwe wakhatsutsana bzikhali bzakuti mkulu mbani pakati pawo. 35 Jezu adakhala pantsi, acicemera wakupfundzira khumi na awiri wale, aciwauza kuti:“Penu winango an'funa kukhala wakutoma, an'dzakhala wakumalizira, ndipo wakudzatumikira wentse.” 36 Pamwepo adatenga mwana m'bodzi, acimukhazika pakati pawo acikumbatira, adawauza kuti, 37 “Ali-yentse an'tambira mwana ninga uyu thangwe ra Ine, ali kutambira Ine, Ndipo wakutambira Ine, ali kutambira ine na omwe adandituma.”

38 Juwau adawuza Jezu kuti:“Mpfundzisi, ife tidawona munthu winango acimbacosa mizimu yakuipa pakulewa dzina lanu, ndipo tidamuletsa, thangwe ambafamba lini na ife.” 39 Tsono Jezu adati:“Lekani kumuletsa, thangwe palibe omwe angacite bzidabwiso mudzina langu patsogolo pace acindinyoza. 40 Sabwa wakusaya kutsutsana nafe, umweyo ngwakuphatana nafe. 41 Na tenepo ule omwe an'kupasani mkombo wa madzi mudzina langu, thangwe ra kuti ndimwe wa kwa Krixtu, cadidi ndiri kulewa kuti umweyo cipo angadzasaye kutambira mabaibai.”

42 “ Penu wina angaphonyese m'bodzi wa ang'onowa wakukhulupirira ine, umweyo bzikhali bwino kuti amangiriridwe cimwala ca nyampheyo mkhosi acikam'thusa panyandza. 43 Penu boko lako liri kukuphonyesa, ligwate. N'bzabwino kuti ukapite kumoyo wakusaya kumala uli wakugwatika boko, kuposa kuti ukapite una manja yentse mawiri kumoto wakusaya kumala.”

44 [“Kumweko kuna nkhonye zakuluma zimbafa lini, ndipo moto wacembo umbathima lini.”]

46 [“Kumweko kuna nkhonye zakuluma zimbafa lini, ndipo moto wacembo umbathima lini.”]

47 “Penu diso lako liri kukuphonyesa, licose. n'bzabwino kuti ukapite muUmambo bwa Mulungu uli na diso libodzi lokha, kuposa kuti akakuthuse kumoto wakusaya kumala una maso yentse mawiri. 48 Kumweko kuna nkhonye zakuluma zimbafa lini, moto wacembo umbathima lini.

49 “Thangwe m'bodzi na m'bodzi an'dzalungidwa na moto. 50 Munyu ngwabwino, tsono ungaterepo wamala goso, umbadzakhala pomwe munyu? Moyo wanu ukhale na munyu, ndipo mukhale na mtendere imwe na andzanu.” Yes. 66.24.
