Kenako anakhala pansi, ndipo ali m’ngalawamo+ anayamba kuphunzitsa khamu la anthulo. 4 Atamaliza kulankhula, anauza Simoni kuti: “Palasira kwakuya, ndipo muponye maukonde+ anu kuti muphe nsomba.” 5 Koma poyankha Simoni anati: “Mlangizi, ife tagwira ntchito usiku wonse koma osapha kalikonse.+ Koma popeza mwanena ndinu, ndiponya maukondewa.” 6 Atachita zimenezo, anakola nsomba zochuluka kwambiri. Ndipo maukonde awo anayamba kung’ambika. 7 Choncho anakodola anzawo amene anali m’ngalawa ina kuti adzawathandize.+ Iwo anabweradi, ndipo nsombazo zinadzaza ngalawa zonse ziwiri, moti ngalawazo zinayamba kumira. 8 Ataona zimenezi, Simoni Petulo+ anagwada ndi kuweramira pamawondo a Yesu n’kumuuza kuti: “Ambuye, chokani pali ine pano, chifukwa ndine munthu wochimwa.”+ 9 Simoni anadabwa kwambiri ndi nsomba zimene anaphazo, chimodzimodzi ena onse amene anali naye limodzi. 10 Komanso Yakobo ndi Yohane, ana a Zebedayo,+ amene anali kugwirizana ndi Simoni anadabwa kwambiri.

Pamene anaona Yesu, munthuyo anagwada n’kuwerama mpaka nkhope yake pansi ndi kum’pempha, kuti: “Ambuye, ngati mukufuna, mukhoza kundiyeretsa.”+ 13 Pamenepo Yesu anatambasula dzanja lake n’kumukhudza, ndipo anati: “Ndikufuna. Khala woyera.” Nthawi yomweyo khate lakelo linatha.+ 14 Kenako analamula munthuyo kuti asauze aliyense.+ Ndiyeno anamuuza kuti: “Koma upite ukadzionetse kwa wansembe,+ ndipo ukapereke nsembe+ ya kuyeretsedwa kwako, monga mmene Mose analamulira, kuti ikhale umboni kwa iwo.”+ 15 Koma mbiri yake inali kufalikira kwambiri, ndipo makamu a anthu anali kusonkhana pamodzi kudzamumvetsera ndi kudzachiritsidwa matenda awo.+ 16 Koma iye anakhalabe kwayekha m’chipululu ndi kupitiriza kupemphera.+

17 Tsiku lina iye anali kuphunzitsa, ndipo Afarisi ndi aphunzitsi a chilamulo ochokera m’midzi yonse ya Galileya, ku Yudeya ndi ku Yerusalemu anakhala pansi pamalo omwewo.

Si Mulungu yekha kodi?”+ 22 Koma Yesu, pozindikira zimene anali kuganiza anawayankha kuti: “Kodi mukuganiza chiyani m’mitima mwanu?+ 23 Chapafupi n’chiti, kunena kuti, ‘Machimo ako akhululukidwa,’ kapena kunena kuti, ‘Nyamuka uyende’?+ 24 Koma kuti mudziwe kuti Mwana wa munthu ali ndi mphamvu padziko lapansi zokhululukira machimo . . .” anauza munthu wakufa ziwalo uja kuti: “Ndikunena ndi iwe, Nyamuka, tenga kabedi kakoka uzipita kwanu.”+ 25 Nthawi yomweyo anaimirira onse akuona, ndipo ananyamula chogonera chake chija n’kupita kwawo, akutamanda Mulungu.+ 26 Pamenepo anthu onsewo anadabwa kwambiri,+ ndipo anayamba kutamanda Mulungu, mwakuti anagwidwa ndi mantha. Iwo anali kunena kuti: “Taona zodabwitsa lero!”+

27 Zimenezi zitachitika iye anachokako. Kenako anaona wokhometsa msonkho wotchedwa Levi atakhala pansi mu ofesi yokhomera msonkho. Ndipo anamuuza kuti: “Ukhale wotsatira wanga.”+ 28 Pamenepo Leviyo anasiya chilichonse,+ ndipo ananyamuka n’kumutsatira. 29 Tsopano Levi anakonzera Yesu phwando lalikulu kunyumba kwake. Kumeneko kunali khamu lalikulu la okhometsa msonkho ndi ena ambiri, ndipo anali kudyera limodzi.+ 30 Afarisi ndi alembi awo ataona izi, anayamba kung’ung’udza ndi kufunsa ophunzira ake kuti: “N’chifukwa chiyani inu mumadya ndi kumwa limodzi ndi okhometsa msonkho ndi anthu ochimwa?”+ 31 Poyankha, Yesu anawauza kuti: “Anthu athanzi safuna dokotala,+ koma odwala ndi amene amamufuna.+ 32 Ine sindinabwere kudzaitana anthu olungama, koma ochimwa kuti alape.”+

33 Iwo anamuuza kuti: “Ophunzira a Yohane amasala kudya kawirikawiri ndi kupemphera mopembedzera. Ophunzira a Afarisi amachitanso chimodzimodzi, koma anuwa amangodya ndi kumwa.”+ 34 Yesu anawayankha kuti: “Inu simungauze anzake a mkwati kuti asale kudya pamene mkwatiyo ali nawo limodzi, mungatero ngati?+ 35 Koma masiku adzafika pamene mkwati+ adzachotsedwa pakati pawo.+ Pamenepo iwo adzasala kudya masiku amenewo.”+

36 Komanso, anawapatsa fanizo kuti: “Palibe amene amadula chigamba pamalaya akunja atsopano n’kuchisokerera pamalaya akunja akale. Munthu akachita zimenezo, chigamba chatsopanocho chimachoka pansalu yakaleyo. Ndiponso chigamba cha nsalu yatsopanocho sichiyenerana ndi malaya akalewo.+ 37 Komanso, palibe amene amathira vinyo watsopano m’matumba achikopa akale. Munthu akachita zimenezo, vinyo watsopanoyo amaphulitsa matumba achikopawo.+ Vinyoyo amatayika ndipo matumba achikopawo amawonongeka.+ 38 Koma vinyo watsopano ayenera kuikidwa m’matumba achikopa atsopano. 39 Munthu akamwa vinyo wakale safunanso watsopano, chifukwa amanena kuti, ‘Wakaleyu+ ali bwino kwambiri.’”
