[3] Iye ankafuna kuona Yesu kuti ndani, koma pokhala wamfupi sanathe chifukwa cha gulu la anthu. [4] Choncho iye anathamangira patsogolo ndipo anakwera mu mtengo wamkuyu kuti amuone Iye, pakuti Yesu ankadutsa njira imeneyo. [5] Yesu atafika pa malopo, anayangʼana mmwamba ndipo anati kwa iye, “Zakeyu, tsika msangamsanga. Ine ndiyenera kukhala mʼnyumba mwako lero.” [6] Ndipo nthawi yomweyo anatsika ndipo anamulandira mosangalala. [7] Anthu onse ataona zimenezi anayamba kungʼungʼudza, nati, “Iye akupita kuti akakhale mlendo wa wochimwa.” [8] Koma Zakeyu anayimirira ndipo anati kwa Ambuye, “Taonani Ambuye! Theka la chuma changa ndipereka kwa osauka ndipo ngati ndinamubera wina aliyense pa chilichonse, ndidzamubwezera mochulukitsa kanayi.” [9] Yesu anati kwa iye, “Lero chipulumutso chafika mʼnyumba ino, chifukwa munthu uyu nayenso ndi mwana wa Abrahamu. [10] Pajatu Mwana wa Munthu anabwera kudzafunafuna ndi kupulumutsa chotayikacho.” [11] Pamene iwo ankamvera izi, Iye anapitiriza kuwawuza fanizo, chifukwa Iye anali kufupi ndi Yerusalemu ndipo anthu ankaganiza kuti ufumu wa Mulungu ukanaoneka nthawi yomweyo. [12] Iye anati, “Munthu wa banja laufumu anapita ku dziko lakutali kukadzozedwa ufumu ndipo kenaka abwerenso kwawo. [13] Tsono iye anayitana antchito ake khumi ndi kuwapatsa ndalama khumi. Iye anati, ‘Gwiritsani ntchito ndalama izi mpaka nditabwerera.’ [14] “Koma anthu ake anamuda ndipo anatuma nthumwi pambuyo pake kukanena kuti, ‘Sitikufuna munthuyu kuti akhale mfumu yathu.’ [15] “Iye analandira ufumuwo ngakhale zinali zotero, ndipo anabwerera kwawo. Kenaka iye anatumiza uthenga kwa antchito ake amene anawapatsa ndalama aja, ndi cholinga chakuti adziwe chimene anapindula nazo. [16] “Woyamba anabwera ndipo anati, ‘Bwana ndalama zanu zapindula khumi zina.’ [17] “Bwana wakeyo anayankha kuti, Wachita bwino wantchito wabwino. ‘Chifukwa wakhulupirika pa zinthu zazingʼono, lamulira mizinda khumi.’ [18] “Wachiwiri anabwera ndipo anati, ‘Bwana, ndalama zanu zapindula zisanu zina.’ [19] “Bwana anayankha kuti, ‘Iwe lamulira mizinda isanu.’ [20] “Kenaka wantchito wina anabwera ndipo anati, ‘Bwana, ndalama yanu nayi; ine ndinayibisa ndi kuyisunga mʼkansalu. [21] Ine ndimakuopani, chifukwa ndinu munthu wowuma mtima. Inu mumatenga chimene simunachiyike ndi kukolola chimene simunadzale.’ [22] “Bwana wake anayankha kuti, ‘Ine ndikukuweruza iwe ndi mawu ako omwewo. Ndiwe wantchito woyipa. Kani umadziwa kuti ndine munthu wowuma mtima ndi wotenga chimene sindinasungitse, ndi kukolola chimene sindinadzale? [23] Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani sunasungitse ndalama yanga, kuti ine pobwera, ndidzayitenge ndi chiwongoladzanja?’ [24] “Ndipo iye anawuza amene anayimirira pafupi kuti, ‘Tengani ndalama yake ndi kumupatsa amene ali ndi ndalama khumiyo!’ ” [25] Iwo anati, “Bwana iyeyu ali nazo kale khumi!” [26] Iye anayankha kuti, “Ndikukuwuzani kuti, aliyense amene ali nazo, adzapatsidwa zambiri, koma amene alibe, adzalandidwa ngakhale chimene ali nacho. [27] Tsono adani anga aja amene sankafuna kuti ndikhale mfumu yawo, abweretseni pano ndi kuwapha ine ndikuona.” [28] Yesu atatha kunena izi, anayendabe kupita ku Yerusalemu. [29] Iye atayandikira ku Betifage ndi Betaniya pa phiri lotchedwa Olivi, Iye anatuma awiri a ophunzira nati kwa iwo, [30] “Pitani mʼmudzi uli patsogolo panu, mukakalowa mʼmudzimo, mukapeza mwana wabulu womangiriridwa amene wina aliyense sanakwerepo. Mukamumasule ndi kubwera naye kuno. [31] Ngati wina aliyense akakufunsani kuti, ‘Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukumumasula mwana buluyo?’ Mukamuwuze kuti, ‘Ambuye akumufuna.’ ” [32] Otumidwawo anapita nakamupeza mwana wabulu monga momwe Yesu anawawuzira. [33] Pamene ankamasula mwana wabuluyo, eni ake anawafunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukumasula mwana wabuluyo?” [34] Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ambuye akumufuna.” [35] Iwo anabweretsa buluyo kwa Yesu, naponya zovala zawo pa bulupo ndi kumukwezapo Yesu. [36] Pamene ankapita, anthu anayala zovala zawo mu msewu. [37] Iye atafika pafupi ndi pamene msewu umatsikira ku phiri la Olivi, gulu lonse la ophunzira linayamba kuyamika Mulungu mwachimwemwe ndi mawu ofuwula chifukwa cha zodabwitsa zonse anaziona. [38] “Yodala mfumu imene ikubwera mʼdzina la Ambuye!” “Mtendere kumwamba ndi ulemerero mmwambamwamba!” [39] Ena mwa Afarisi mʼgulumo anati kwa Yesu, “Aphunzitsi, adzudzuleni ophunzira anu!” [40] Iye anayankha kuti, “Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti, ngati atakhala chete, miyala idzafuwula.” [41] Iye atayandikira ku Yerusalemu ndi kuona mzindawo, anawulirira [42] nati, “Iwe ukanadziwa lero lino zinthu zokubweretsera mtendere, koma tsopano zabisikira maso ako. [43] Pakuti masiku adzabwera pamene adani ako adzamanga mitumbira yankhondo nakuzungulira, nadzakutsekereza mbali zonse. [44] Iwo adzakugwetsera pansi, iwe, ana ako onse a mʼkati mwako. Iwo sadzasiya mwa iwe mwala wina pa unzake, chifukwa sunazindikire nthawi ya kubwera kwa Mulungu.” [45] Kenaka Iye analowa mʼdera la Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi kuyamba kutulutsa kunja amene amachita malonda. [46] Iye anawawuza kuti, “Zinalembedwa kuti Nyumba yanga idzakhala nyumba ya mapemphero, koma inu mwayisadutsa phanga la achifwamba.” [47] Tsiku lililonse amaphunzitsa mʼNyumba ya Mulungu. Koma akulu a ansembe, aphunzitsi amalamulo ndi atsogoleri pakati pa anthu amayesetsa kuti amuphe. [48] Komabe iwo sanathe kupeza njira ina iliyonse kuti achite izi, chifukwa anthu onse anakhulupirira mawu ake.
