Mukamumasule nʼkubwera naye kuno. 3 Wina akakakufunsani kuti, ‘Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukumasula buluyu?’ Mukanene kuti, ‘Ambuye akumufuna ndipo akangotha kumugwiritsa ntchito adzamubweza nthawi yomweyo.’” 4 Choncho iwo ananyamuka ndipo anapezadi bulu wamphongo atamumangirira pakhomo, mʼmphepete mwa msewu waungʼono. Ndipo iwo anamasula buluyo.+ 5 Koma ena mwa anthu amene anali ataimirira chapomwepo anawafunsa kuti: “Cholinga chanu nʼchiyani pomasula buluyu?” 6 Iwo anawauza zimene Yesu ananena ndipo anawalola kuti apite.

19 Chakumadzulo kwa tsikulo, iwo anatuluka mumzindawo. 20 Koma mʼmamawa pamene ankadutsa, anaona kuti mtengo wamkuyu uja wafota kale ndi mizu yomwe.+ 21 Choncho Petulo, anaukumbukira ndipo ananena kuti: “Rabi, taonani! Mtengo wamkuyu umene munautemberera uja wafota.”+ 22 Yesu anawayankha kuti: “Muzikhulupirira Mulungu. 23 Ndithu ndikukuuzani kuti aliyense wouza phiri ili kuti, ‘Nyamuka pano ukadziponye mʼnyanja,’ ndipo sakukayikira mumtima mwake koma ali ndi chikhulupiriro kuti zimene wanena zichitikadi, zidzaterodi.+ 24 Nʼchifukwa chake ndikukuuzani kuti, zinthu zonse zimene mukupempha ndi kuzipempherera, muzikhulupirira kuti mwazilandira kale ndipo mudzazilandiradi.+ 25 Ndipo mukaimirira nʼkumapemphera, muzikhululuka chilichonse chimene wina anakulakwirani kuti Atate wanu wakumwamba akukhululukireninso machimo anu.”+ 26*——

Kapena ndi ndani amene anakupatsani ulamuliro umenewu?”+ 29 Yesu anawayankha kuti: “Ndikufunsani funso limodzi. Mundiyankhe, ndipo inenso ndikuuzani amene anandipatsa ulamuliro umene ndimachitira zimenezi. 30 Kodi ubatizo umene Yohane ankachita+ unali wochokera kumwamba kapena kwa anthu? Ndiyankheni.”+ 31 Choncho iwo anayamba kukambirana kuti: “Tikanena kuti, ‘Unachokera kumwamba,’ atifunsa kuti, ‘Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani simunamukhulupirire?’ 32 Koma tinganene kuti ‘Unachokera kwa anthuʼ ngati?” Iwo ankaopa gulu la anthu, chifukwa anthu onsewo ankakhulupirira kuti Yohane analidi mneneri.+ 33 Choncho iwo anayankha Yesu kuti: “Sitikudziwa.” Yesu anawauza kuti: “Inenso sindikuuzani amene anandipatsa ulamuliro umene ndimachitira zimenezi.”
