15 Kenako Afarisi ndi alembi+ ochokera ku Yerusalemu anapita kwa Yesu nʼkumufunsa kuti: 2 “Nʼchifukwa chiyani ophunzira anu amaphwanya miyambo ya makolo? Mwachitsanzo, sasamba mʼmanja* akafuna kudya chakudya.”+
3 Koma iye anawayankha kuti: “Nʼchifukwa chiyani inuyo mumaphwanya malamulo a Mulungu chifukwa cha miyambo yanu?+ 4 Mwachitsanzo, Mulungu ananena kuti, ‘Muzilemekeza bambo anu ndi mayi anu.’+ Komanso anati, ‘Aliyense wolankhula mawu achipongwe kwa bambo ake kapena mayi ake aziphedwa.’+ 5 Koma inu mumanena kuti, ‘Aliyense wouza bambo ake kapena mayi ake kuti: “Chilichonse chimene ndili nacho, chimene ndikanakuthandizani nacho ndi mphatso yoti ndipereke kwa Mulungu,”+ 6 sakuyenera kuthandiza bambo ake.’ Choncho mwachititsa kuti mawu a Mulungu akhale opanda pake chifukwa cha miyambo yanu.+ 7 Anthu achinyengo inu! Yesaya analosera zolondola zokhudza inu pamene anati:+ 8 ‘Anthu awa amandilemekeza ndi milomo yokha, koma mitima yawo aiika kutali ndi ine. 9 Chilichonse chomwe amachita pondilambira ndi chopanda pake, chifukwa amaphunzitsa malamulo a anthu ngati kuti ndi malamulo a Mulungu.’”+ 10 Atanena zimenezi, anaitana gulu la anthu kuti liyandikire ndipo anawauza kuti: “Mvetserani ndipo muzindikire tanthauzo lake:+ 11 Chimene chimalowa mʼkamwa mwa munthu si chimene chimamuipitsa, koma chimene chimatuluka mʼkamwa mwake nʼchimene chimamuipitsa.”+
12 Ndiyeno ophunzira ake anabwera nʼkumufunsa kuti: “Kodi mukudziwa kuti Afarisi akhumudwa ndi zimene mwanena zija?”+ 13 Koma iye anayankha kuti: “Mbewu iliyonse imene sinadzalidwe ndi Atate wanga wakumwamba idzazulidwa. 14 Asiyeni amenewo. Iwo ndi atsogoleri akhungu. Choncho ngati munthu wakhungu akutsogolera wakhungu mnzake, onse awiri adzagwera mʼdzenje.”+ 15 Ndiyeno Petulo anamupempha kuti: “Timasulireni fanizo lija.” 16 Yesu anawafunsa kuti: “Kodi inunso simunamvetse?+ 17 Kodi simukudziwa kuti chilichonse chimene chalowa mʼkamwa chimadutsa mʼmimba ndipo chimakatayidwa kuchimbudzi? 18 Koma chilichonse chimene chimatuluka pakamwa chimachokera mumtima ndipo zinthu zimenezo ndi zimene zimaipitsa munthu.+ 19 Mwachitsanzo, mumtima mumachokera maganizo oipa awa:+ maganizo a kupha anthu, a chigololo, a chiwerewere,* a kuba, maumboni onama komanso kunyoza Mulungu. 20 Zimenezi ndi zinthu zimene zimaipitsa munthu, koma kudya chakudya osasamba mʼmanja* sikuipitsa munthu.”
21 Yesu atachoka kumeneko anapita mʼzigawo za Turo ndi Sidoni.+ 22 Ndiyeno kunabwera mayi wina wa ku Foinike kuchokera mʼzigawo zimenezo ndipo anafuula kuti: “Ndichitireni chifundo Ambuye, Mwana wa Davide. Mwana wanga wamkazi anagwidwa ndi chiwanda chimene chikumuzunza mwankhanza.”+ 23 Koma iye sanamuyankhe chilichonse. Choncho ophunzira ake anabwera nʼkumuuza kuti: “Muuzeni kuti azipita, chifukwa akupitirizabe kufuula mʼmbuyo mwathumu.” 24 Iye anayankha kuti: “Ine sananditumize kwa wina aliyense koma kwa nkhosa zotayika za nyumba ya Isiraeli.”+ 25 Koma mayi uja anabwera pafupi nʼkumugwadira ndipo ananena kuti: “Ambuye, ndithandizeni!” 26 Iye anamuyankha kuti: “Si bwino kutenga chakudya cha ana nʼkuponyera tiagalu.” 27 Mayiyo ananena kuti: “Inde Ambuye, komatu tiagalu timadya nyenyeswa zimene zikugwa patebulo la ambuye awo.”+ 28 Ndiyeno Yesu anamuyankha kuti: “Mayi iwe, chikhulupiriro chako ndi chachikulu. Zimene ukufuna zichitike kwa iwe.” Ndipo nthawi yomweyo mwana wake anachira.
29 Yesu atachoka kumeneko, anapita kufupi ndi nyanja ya Galileya+ ndipo anakwera phiri nʼkukakhala pansi mʼphirimo. 30 Kenako anthu ochuluka anabwera kwa iye. Anabwera ndi anthu olumala, othyoka ziwalo, a vuto losaona, a vuto losalankhula, ndi ena ambiri osiyanasiyana. Anthuwo anawakhazika pamapazi ake ndipo iye anawachiritsa.+ 31 Choncho gulu la anthulo linadabwa kuona anthu osalankhula akulankhula, olumala akuyenda ndiponso anthu osaona akuona ndipo anatamanda Mulungu wa Isiraeli.+
32 Koma Yesu anaitana ophunzira ake nʼkuwauza kuti: “Gulu la anthuli likundimvetsa chisoni,+ chifukwa anthuwa akhala ndi ine kwa masiku atatu ndipo alibe chakudya. Sindikufuna kuwauza kuti azipita ndi njala* chifukwa angalenguke panjira.”+ 33 Koma ophunzirawo anamuuza kuti: “Kumalo kopanda anthu ngati kuno chakudya chokwanira gulu lonseli tichipeza kuti?”+ 34 Ndiyeno Yesu anawafunsa kuti: “Muli ndi mitanda ingati ya mkate?” Iwo anayankha kuti: “Tili nayo 7 ndi tinsomba towerengeka.” 35 Choncho atauza anthuwo kuti akhale pansi, 36 anatenga mitanda 7 ya mkate ija ndi nsomba zija. Atayamika, anainyemanyema nʼkuyamba kupereka kwa ophunzirawo ndipo iwo anagawira gulu la anthulo.+ 37 Anthu onsewo anadya nʼkukhuta, moti zotsala zimene anatolera zinadzaza madengu akuluakulu 7.+ 38 Koma amene anadya anali amuna 4,000, osawerengera akazi ndi ana aangʼono. 39 Pambuyo pake, atauza anthuwo kuti azipita kwawo, iye anakwera ngalawa nʼkufika mʼchigawo cha Magadani.+
