8 Lepi! Nambu yati akumjovela, ‘Nitendelekela chakulya na kunihengela mbaka penimala kulya na kuywelela, ndi na veve pewilya na kunywelela.’
9 Wu, mkulu yula yati amsengusa mtumisi yula ndava akitili goha geamlagazili?
10 Na nyenye mewawa, mukahengayi kila chindu chemulagizwi kuhenga, mujovayi, ‘Tete vavanda tihengili lihengu litu ndu.’ ”

Kubwela kwa Unkosi wa Chapanga
(Matei 24:23-28, 37-41)
20 Vafalisayu vamkoti Yesu kuvya Unkosi wa Chapanga yati ubwela ndali. Mwene akavayangula, “Unkosi wa Chapanga yati ubwela lepi cha kulolekana.
21 Kawaka mundu mweihotola kujova, ‘Uvi kuni, amala uvi kula!’ Muni unkosi wa Chapanga uvi pagati yinu.”
22 Kangi akavajovela vawuliwa vaki, “Galabwela magono yati mwinogela kuliwona ligono limonga mumagono gaki Mwana wa Mundu, nambu yati nakuyiwona.
23 Vandu yati vakuvajovela, ‘Lola, avi kula!’ Amala ‘Lola, avi kuni!’ Nambu nyenye mukoto kuwuka wala kuvalanda.
24 Muni yati yivya ngati mbamba cheyimwetula chigafula kuhumila upandi umonga mbaka wungi, ndi yati cheivya ligono la kubwela kwaki Mwana wa Mundu.
25 Nambu yikumgana hoti, kung'ahika neju na kubelelewa na vandu va chiveleku ichi.
26 Ngati chayavili lusenje lwa Nuhu, ndi cheyibwela kuvya magono ga kuwuya kwaki Mwana wa Mundu.
27 Vandu vayendalili kulya na kuywelela, kugega na kugegewa mbaka Nuhu peayingili muwatu uvaha. Fula yivaha yatonyili na manji gakamema na kuvakoma vandu voha.
28 Mewawa ngati cheyavili magono ga Lutu. Vandu vayendalili kulya na kuywelela, kugula na kugulisa, kuhila mbeyu na kujenga nyumba.
29 Nambu ligono Lutu paawukili ku Sodoma, motu na chibiliti vyatonyili ngati fula kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga na kuvakoma voha.
30 Mewawa ndi cheyivya ligono la Mwana wa Mundu peiwuya.”
31 “Ligono lenilo, mundu yoyoha mweivya kuvala ya nyumba akotoka kuyingila munyumba yaki kutola vindu vyaki, mewawa na yoyoha mweavikumgunda akotoka kuwuya mumbele.
32 Muhololela gegamkolili mdala wa Lutu!
33 Mundu Yoyoha mweigana kuusangula wumi waki, yati auyagisa na mundu yoyoha mweakuyagisa wumi waki yati akuugombola.
34 Nikuvajovela kilu ya ligono lenilo, vandu vavili vevagonili pamonga palusongwani, mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi yati ilekewa.
35 Kangi vadala vavili yati vivya pamonga mukuyaga mbeyu, mmonga yati itolewa na yungi yati ilekewa.”
36 Vandu vavili yati vivya kumgunda mmonga yati itoliwa na yungi yati ilekewa.
37 Penapo vakamkota, “Koki Bambu?”
Mwene akavayangula, “Pewivya mtuhi, ndi pevikonganekela manditi.”
