1 Nihuku nimoka attu o ulhiviha ikhodi ni attu o uwonya enchi yahowa umwiiwelhelhani Yesu, 2 Amafarisayo ni owiittuchiha Malhehero nkayaachokholha utukutuwacha, “Mmwooneke yolha ntu ulha! Naapochera attu o uwonya ni waalhiana yolhia!” 3 Paahi Yesu nkaahimeria nna nlhikaanihero nna,

4 “Ntu ri ni ikhondoro imia imoka, oonaka imoka ihopotera, neera chani? Noohiya chikina makhumi tisa ni tisa chiyo wiithuphini, ni urwaa uuthothani imoka ipotenre iyo mpaka oone. 5 Oonakaru, khuchishaka vanikhathani 6 ni uhokolhia attapelhelhaka. Khweehanaka manyampwana awe ni amwatamana eeraka, ‘Nittapelhelheke etu mwaatti, ikhondoro yaapotenre ihoonia!’ 7 Chiicho kinouhimeriani wiira, phi nohalha aya uttapelhelhiya wiirimu ntu mmoka o uwonya vanokhoroma awe ni uhiya uwonya, waapwaha akina makhumi tisa ni tisa ahinovarechesha ikekhia.

8 “Ama nnoona chani, opani amoka ari ni makhobilhi khumi, naapoteraka nimoka anohalha wiira chani? Anooparihelha ikhandiri ni ukwecha inupa aaviaka rata mpaka oone. 9 Vanoona aya, phi neehana aya manyampwana aya ni amwaatamana vamoka, eeraka, ‘Mwaatti, nkanngwe nittapelhelhe nikhobilhi naakipotenre nihoonia!’ 10 Chiichammo etu, kinouhimeriani wiira, minepa cha Nlhuku phi neera aya wo uttapelhelha ntu mmoka o uwonya vanokhoroma awe.”

11 Yesu nkaathepa waahimeria eeraka, “Ahaawo ntu aari ni ashaana elhi. 12 Mwankani uyo nkeerelha athumwane, ‘Athumwanaka, nkivahe nhakhu unkiphwanelha.’ Nkaakawelhachiya elhi ayo. 13 Avireke mahuku vakani, nkaathumiha nhakhu awe ni urwaa nkwaha wo utayi ni ihera chonkhaye chaarina awe. Wowo nkaakhalha ni ulhia chonkhaye pufia. 14 Vaamalhinhe awe kila ittu, nkawaakhumelhelha ikuruna, nkaachokholha uthemwathemwa. 15 Nkaarwa upangani ntheko wa ntu mmoka nnenchi o yeyo ilhapo iyo, anrweehilhe umatani wawe alhihe ikulhuwe. 16 Nkaathanana ata ukhura makova aalhiya ni ikulhuwe, ukhalhawaya khaawo ntu anlhoha. 17 Voopuwenlhe awe, nkeera, ‘Wa athumwanaka, anamitheko enchi anoolhia ni urupalha, ni mii uno kikhwaaka ithalha! 18 Kinoohokolhia etu uwani wa athumwanaka keerelhe, Athumwanaka, kihowonya irimu ni uwaninyu. 19 Akinophwanelhiya wiihaniya mwaamwaninyu, nkipangeke thoko mmoka a anamitheko inyu.’ 20 Paahi etu nkaachokholha nkwaha wo uhokolhia uwani.”

“Nari utayi, athumwanawe nkaamwona, nrima nkawaakelha ikiriri, nkayaattimakacha, nkayampochera ni unkumbatira mwaamwanaya. 21 Mwaamwanaya nkeera, ‘Athumwanaka, kihowonya wa Nlhuku wiirimu ni uwaninyu. Akiphwanelhiyaka tho wiihaniya mwaamwaninyu.’ 22 Nansho athumwanawe nkeehana akarumiya aya, eeraka, ‘Mwaakuvieke, nkawaani! Mmwiiheke ikuwo choombone chiyo, mmwe mwammwariha. Mummwariheke ni pete nnikokhoni ni iratu mmietoni mwawe. 23 Mwamalhaka nrweeke mwanhitheke mwang'ope o uneneva uyo, nittapelhelhe! 24 Ukhalhawaya mwaamwanaka ulha ahokhwa nansho vano ri nkumi, ahopotera, nansho vano hoonia.’ Nkayaachokholha uttapelhelha.”

25 “Yeyo ikatema iyo, mwaana mulhupalhe uyo aari umatani. Vaahokolhia aya, aatameriaka vawani, nkayeewa ikoma choopiyaka attu eenaka. 26 Paahi etu nkaamwiihana karumiya mmoka ni unkoha, ‘Ana urini?’ 27 Karumiya nkaakhulha eeraka, ‘Nhima inyu hohokolhia uwani, ni athumwaninyu ahonhithelha mwang'ope o uneneva ulhe, ukhalhawaya ahompatta nari nkumi.’ 28 Mmirawo mulhupalhe uyo nkaathunalha chinene nkaakhota ukelha mpaani, athumwane nkayaawa ni umpepecha wiira akelhe mpaani. 29 Nansho uyo nkaakhulha, ‘Nkoonani thithi, iyaakha chonkhaye chi kinovara ntheko uukavihani thoko ipotta, mena akinawonya malheheriyo inyu. Nkivanheni? Khannakivaha ata mwaapuri wiira kiipuhihe ni manyampwana aka! 30 Nansho ulha mwamwaninyu ulha, holhia pufia nhakhu wonkhaye ni ashithiyana o ulhavalhava, ni vano vahokolhelhe awe, nhonhithelha mwang'ope o uneneva!

31 “Athumwanawe nkayaakhulha, ‘Mwaamwanaka, uri ulhokelhaka ni mii, ni kila ittu iri yawawo. 32 Nansho ninttapelhelha ukhalhawaya nhima inyu ahokhwa, nansho vano ri nkumi, ahopotera nansho vano hoonia.’ ”
