6 Kenako anachoka kumeneko nʼkufika mʼdera lakwawo+ ndipo ophunzira ake anamʼtsatira. 2 Sabata litakwana, iye anayamba kuphunzitsa musunagoge. Anthu ambiri amene anamumvetsera anadabwa ndipo ananena kuti: “Kodi munthu ameneyu anazitenga kuti zinthu zimenezi?+ Ndipo nʼchifukwa chiyani nzeru zimenezi zinaperekedwa kwa iyeyu, komanso kuti azitha kuchita ntchito zamphamvu zoterezi?+ 3 Kodi iyeyu si kalipentala,+ mwana wa Mariya,+ komanso mchimwene wake wa Yakobo,+ Yosefe, Yudasi ndi Simoni?+ Ndipo azichemwali ake si awa tili nawo pompano?” Choncho anayamba kukhumudwa naye. 4 Koma Yesu anawauza kuti: “Mneneri salemekezedwa kwawo, ngakhale ndi achibale ake, ngakhale mʼnyumba mwake momwe, koma kwina.”+ 5 Choncho sanathe kuchita ntchito zamphamvu zilizonse kumeneko, koma anangoika manja pa odwala owerengeka nʼkuwachiritsa. 6 Ndithudi, iye anadabwa kuona kuti anthuwo analibe chikhulupiriro. Choncho anazungulira mʼmidzi yapafupi nʼkumaphunzitsa anthu.+

7 Kenako anaitana ophunzira ake 12 aja nʼkuyamba kuwatumiza awiriawiri+ ndipo anawapatsa mphamvu kuti azitha kutulutsa mizimu yonyansa.+ 8 Komanso anawalamula kuti asatenge kanthu pa ulendowo koma ndodo yokha basi. Anawalamula kuti asatenge mkate, thumba la chakudya kapena ndalama* mʼzikwama zawo,+ 9 koma kuti avale nsapato ndiponso kuti asavale malaya awiri.* 10 Komanso anawauza kuti: “Mukafika panyumba iliyonse, muzikhala mʼnyumbayo mpaka nthawi yochoka kumeneko itakwana.+ 11 Kulikonse kumene sakakulandirani kapena kukumvetserani, mukamachoka kumeneko sansani fumbi kumapazi anu kuti ukhale umboni kwa iwo.”+ 12 Choncho anapita nʼkukalalikira kuti anthu alape,+ 13 ndipo anatulutsa ziwanda zambiri,+ komanso kudzoza mafuta anthu ambiri odwala nʼkuwachiritsa.

14 Ndiyeno Mfumu Herode inamva zimenezi chifukwa dzina la Yesu linatchuka kwambiri ndipo anthu ankanena kuti: “Yohane Mʼbatizi wauka kwa akufa nʼchifukwa chake akuchita ntchito zamphamvu.”+ 15 Koma ena ankanena kuti: “Ndi Eliya.” Ndipo ena ankanena kuti: “Ndi mneneri ngati mmene analili aneneri akale.”+ 16 Koma Herode atamva za Yesu ananena kuti: “Ndithu Yohane amene ndinamudula mutu uja waukitsidwadi.” 17 Ananena zimenezi chifukwa Herodeyo anatumiza anthu kuti akagwire Yohane nʼkumumanga ndipo anamutsekera mʼndende chifukwa cha Herodiya, mkazi wa mchimwene wake Filipo amene Herodeyo anakwatira.+ 18 Anachita zimenezi chifukwa Yohane ankauza Herode kuti: “Nʼzosaloleka kuti mutenge mkazi wa mchimwene wanu.”+ 19 Choncho Herodiya anamusungira chidani mumtima ndipo ankafuna kumupha, koma sanakwanitse kuchita zimenezo. 20 Herode ankaopa Yohane chifukwa ankadziwa kuti ndi munthu wolungama komanso woyera,+ choncho ankamuteteza. Atamva zimene ankanena anathedwa nzeru, komabe anapitiriza kumumvetsera mosangalala.

21 Ndiyeno tsiku loti Herodiya akwaniritse zolinga zake linafika. Limeneli linali tsiku lokumbukira kubadwa kwa Herode+ ndipo anakonzera chakudya chamadzulo nduna zake, akuluakulu a asilikali ndi anthu otchuka kwambiri a mu Galileya.+ 22 Ndiye mwana wamkazi wa Herodiya analowa nʼkuyamba kuvina, moti anasangalatsa Herode ndi ena amene ankadya naye limodzi. Tsopano mfumu inauza mtsikanayo kuti: “Undipemphe chilichonse chimene ukufuna ndipo ndikupatsa.” 23 Ndithu, anachita kumulumbirira kuti: “Chilichonse chimene ungandipemphe ndikupatsa, ngakhale hafu ya ufumu wangawu.” 24 Choncho anatuluka nʼkukafunsa mayi ake kuti: “Ndikapemphe chiyani?” Mayi akewo anamuuza kuti: “Kapemphe mutu wa Yohane Mʼbatizi.” 25 Nthawi yomweyo anapita kwa mfumuyo mofulumira nʼkupempha kuti: “Ndikufuna mundipatse mutu wa Yohane Mʼbatizi mʼmbale pompano.”+ 26 Ngakhale kuti mfumu inamva chisoni kwambiri, sinafune kumukanira poganizira lumbiro lake lija komanso alendo ake aja.* 27 Choncho, nthawi yomweyo mfumu inatumiza msilikali amene ankamulondera nʼkumulamula kuti abweretse mutu wa Yohane. Iye anapita nʼkukamudula mutu mundendemo 28 ndipo anaubweretsa mʼmbale. Ndiyeno anaupereka kwa mtsikana uja ndipo mtsikanayo anakaupereka kwa mayi ake. 29 Ophunzira ake atamva zimenezo anabwera kudzatenga mtembo wake nʼkukauika mʼmanda.*

30 Atumwi anasonkhana kwa Yesu nʼkumuuza zonse zimene iwo anachita komanso kuphunzitsa.+ 31 Iye anawauza kuti: “Inuyo bwerani kuno, tipite kwatokha kopanda anthu kuti mukapume pangʼono.”+ Chifukwa anthu ambiri ankabwera komanso kupita ndipo analibe nthawi yoti apume ngakhalenso yoti adye chakudya. 32 Ndiyeno anakwera ngalawa nʼkupita kwaokhaokha kumalo opanda anthu.+ 33 Koma anthu anawaona akuchoka ndipo ambiri anadziwa zimenezo. Choncho kuchokera mʼmizinda yonse anthu anathamangira kumeneko wapansi ndipo anthuwo ndi amene anayamba kukafika kumaloko. 34 Koma atatsika anaona gulu lalikulu la anthu ndipo anawamvera chisoni,+ chifukwa anali ngati nkhosa zimene zilibe mʼbusa.+ Ndiye anayamba kuwaphunzitsa zinthu zambiri.+

35 Tsopano kunja kunayamba kuda ndipo ophunzira ake anabwera kwa iye nʼkunena kuti: “Kuno nʼkopanda anthu ndipo nthawi yatha.+ 36 Auzeni anthuwa kuti anyamuke, apite mʼmidzi yapafupi ndi mʼmadera ozungulira kuti akagule chakudya choti adye.”+ 37 Koma iye anawayankha kuti: “Inuyo muwapatse chakudya.” Yesu atanena zimenezi iwo anamufunsa kuti: “Kodi tipite kukagula mitanda ya mkate ya ndalama zokwana madinari* 200 nʼkuipereka kwa anthuwa kuti adye?”+ 38 Iye anawafunsa kuti: “Muli ndi mitanda ingati ya mkate? Pitani mukaone!” Ataiona ananena kuti: “Ilipo 5 ndi nsomba ziwiri.”+ 39 Kenako anauza anthuwo kuti akhale mʼmagulu pa udzu wobiriwira.+ 40 Ndipo anakhaladi mʼmagulu, ena anthu 100, ena anthu 50. 41 Ndiyeno anatenga mitanda ya mkate 5 ndi nsomba ziwiri zija nʼkuyangʼana kumwamba ndipo anapemphera.+ Kenako ananyemanyema mitanda ya mkateyo nʼkuipereka kwa ophunzira ake kuti aipereke kwa anthuwo ndiponso anaduladula nsomba ziwirizo nʼkugawira anthu onsewo. 42 Choncho onse anadya nʼkukhuta 43 ndipo anatolera madengu 12 odzaza mkate umene unatsala, osawerengera nsomba.+ 44 Anthu amene anadya mkatewo analipo amuna okwana 5,000.

45 Kenako mwamsanga, Yesu anauza ophunzira ake kuti akwere ngalawa nʼkutsogola kupita kutsidya lina loyangʼanizana nalo cha ku Betsaida. Koma iye anatsalira nʼcholinga choti auze anthuwo kuti azipita kwawo.+ 46 Atatsazikana ndi anthuwo, iye anachoka nʼkupita kuphiri kukapemphera.+ 47 Kunja kutada, ngalawa ija inali ili pakati pa nyanja, koma iye anali yekha kumtunda.+ 48 Ataona ophunzirawo akupalasa movutika chifukwa cholimbana ndi mphepo yamphamvu, iye anawalondola akuyenda panyanja. Uwu unali mʼbandakucha pafupifupi pa ulonda wa 4.* Koma ophunzirawo ankaona ngati akufuna kuwapitirira. 49 Atamuona akuyenda panyanjapo ophunzirawo anaganiza kuti: “Amenewa ndi masomphenya ndithu!” Ndipo anafuula mokweza. 50 Anachita zimenezi chifukwa onsewo anamuona ndipo anachita mantha. Koma nthawi yomweyo iye anawauza kuti: “Mtima mʼmalo, ndine. Musachite mantha.”+ 51 Ndiyeno Yesu anakwera nawo mʼngalawamo ndipo mphepoyo inaleka. Ataona zimenezi anadabwa kwambiri. 52 Chifukwa choti sanamvetse tanthauzo la mitanda ya mkate ija, iwo ankavutikabe kuti amvetse zinthu zonse.

53 Atawoloka nʼkufika kumtunda, anafika ku Genesareti nʼkuimika ngalawayo chapafupi.+ 54 Koma atangotsika mʼngalawamo, anthu anamuzindikira. 55 Choncho anthu anathamanga uku ndi uku mʼdera lonselo nʼkuyamba kunyamula pamachira anthu onse amene ankadwala, kupita nawo kumene anamva kuti iye ali kumeneko. 56 Ndipo akangolowa mʼmidzi kapena mʼmizinda komanso mʼmadera ozungulira, anthu ankakhazika odwala mʼmisika. Iwo ankamuchonderera kuti angogwira ulusi wopota wamʼmphepete mwa malaya ake akunja,+ ndipo anthu onse amene anaugwira anachira.
