1 Yesu nkaaphiya Uyeriko, nkeetakacha mmaphironi. 2 Wowo ahaawo ntu olhiviha ikhodi mulhupalhe eehaniya Zakayo. Yoyo aari ntu o nhakhu. 3 Aari athananaka umwoona Yesu chiri awe, nansho aari akani o khuvia oocheelhaka umwoona Yesu rata wo nlhatu no uchara attu. 4 Paahi etu nkaattimakacha uholho, nkaawelha munkhuyuni amwoone Yesu rata vanohalha awe uvira. 5 Yesu vaaphilhe awe vavawo, nkaaweha nchulhu ni uwerelha Nazakayo, “Nazakayo, nkhuruweke mwaakuvieke, lhelho mii ki nlheto uwaninyu.”

6 Nazakayo nkayaakhuruwa ni umpochera Yesu athaatheelhaka. 7 Attu onkhaye oona nkayaachukulhacha, “Yolha ntu ulha nokelha uukhalhani wa ntu o uwonya!”

8 Nazakayo nkayeemelha ni wiihimia wa Athithi, “Mwiiweke Thithi! Kinookumiha inusu yo nhakhu aka waavaha amashikini, ni yakhalhaka hawo ntu kanthurunlhe aka ittu, kinonhokolhoshera vacheshe.”

9 Yesu nkeera, “Lelho, inupa inyu ihoopolhiya, ukhalhawaya ulha ri uwaninyu ulha ri o iyari ya Aburahimu. 10 Mwaana a Ntu wiilhe waathotha ni woopolha attu apotenre.”

11 Attu vaamwiwelhelha aya, Yesu nkaathepa nkaahimeria wo malhikaaniho. Vavawo aari aatameriaka uphiya Uyerusalemu, ni attu yaanyiheraka vano wiira Imwene ya Nlhuku waanonia chitema. 12 Paahi etu nkeera, “Ahaawo ntu o iyari ye Imwene aarweelhe nkwaha wo utayi apochere umwene, vanomalha awe ahokolhie. 13 Vaari awe hinaya uthama, nkeehanacha akarumiya awe khumi ni waavaha kila mmoka nchurukhu wo ulhikaana ni umwiirelha, ‘Mpangelheke maronda mpaka vanohokolhia aka.’ 14 Nansho attu o uwannyawe yaari anvengaka, nkayaaruma akarumiya arwee aahimerie attu ammara nchina wiira, ‘Khaninaattuna ahivariye umwene.’

15 “Ntu uyo nkaavariya umwene nkaahokolhia uwani. Vaahokolhelhe awe, nkaalhehera eeraka wiira akarumiya aavanhe awe nchurukhu ayo ehaniye awe aalhakelha ifaida apantte aya. 16 O upacha nkaawa eeraka, ‘Pwiiya, kihopatta nchurukhu nkina mikwaha khumi wo nchurukhu mmoka mwaakivanhe inyu ulhe.’ 17 Nkaakhulhiya, ‘Aye, anamitheko oombone inyu! Nhokhulhuvelhiya wo makani, kinouvahani vano ikuru yulhupalhe yo weemelhelha iwani khumi.’ 18 Karumiya o nayelhi nkaawa eeraka, ‘Pwiiya, kihopatta ifaida mikwaha nthanu vachulhu nchurukhu waakivanhe inyu.’ 19 Yoyo nkaakhulhiya eerelhiyaka, ‘Nnoweemelhelha iwani nthanu.’

20 “Karumiya nkina nkaawa nkeera, ‘Pwiiya, nchurukhu wo idhahabu inyu ulha va, kahovitha vanlhutoni. 21 Kaari kuwoovakani, ukhalhawaya inyu attu o urikarika. Nnokusha ittu ihiri yawinyu ni ukhungura vahaanlhe inyu.’ 22 Yoyo aakhulhiye wiira, ‘Karumiya o uhilhoka uwe! Kinouhukumulhani wo nulhumo ninyu! Wahochuwelha wiira mii kiri ntu orikarika, kinokusha ittu ihiri yawaka ni ukhungura vahaanlhe aka. 23 Aye, woonaka khawarweehilhe unoshungiya nchurukhu? Wowo kaanopatta ifaida yo wuncherera vanohalha aka urwa uhokolhoshani.’

24 “Paahi etu, nkeerelha attu yeemenlhe vavawo ayo, ‘Munthurulheke nchurukhu uyo, nkusheke nrweeke mwammaheke karumiya pantte ifaida mikwaha khumi uyo.’ 25 Nansho attu ayo nkayeera, ‘Pwiiya woonaka hopatta ifaida mikwaha khumi upwaha nchurukhu waanvanhe inyu!’ 26 Nkayaakhulha, ‘Kinouhimeriani wiira attu arina ittu, anowunchereriya, nansho attu ahirina ittu, ata ikani irina aya iyo inookushiya 27 Ni vano kineera, attu anokivenga wiira kihivariye umwene ayo, mwaawiiheke vaa, eevakachiye vava koonaka kimwanene!’ ”

28 Yesu amalhiheke wulhumacha, nkaaholhelha urwaa Uyerusalemu. 29 Vaaphiya awe Ubetifage ni Ubethaniya uri Mwaako wo Mizeituni, ahaaruma owiittucha awe elhi anholhelhe 30 aalheheraka eeraka, “Nrweeke iwani iri uholho iyo, vanophiya inyu, nnokomphwanya mwaaphuta nattukelhelhiye hinaya weetihiya ni ntu. Mwanthaphulheke mwammwiiheke vaa. 31 Ntu riyoothe okohakani woonaka nnonthaphulha, mwamwiirelheke wiira, Athithi anonthanana.”

32 Nkayaarwaacha ni uphwanya kila ittu thoko chaahimeriye aya ni Yesu. 33 Vanthaphulha aya mwaaphuta uyo, ashinene nkayaakoha, “Chani woonaka mwaatti nnonthaphulha mwaaphuta uyo?”

34 Nkayaakhulha, “Athithi phi nonthanana.” 35 Nkayankusha mwaaphuta unrwehelha Yesu. Nkayaathalhacha ikuwo vanthanani ni ummwelhiha Yesu akhalhe vachulhu vawe. 36 Vaamweetiha awe, attu nkayaathalhacha ikuwo chaya mphironi nkaavira vachulhu ikuwo vawo.

37 Vaatameria awe Uyerusalemu, iphiro yaakelha uri Mwaako wo Mizeituni, nlhoko mwinchi wa owiittucha awe nkawaachokholha untotopelha Nlhuku akhuwelhaka voona aya cho ushangiha chonkhaye choona aya, 38 Yaari akhuwelhaka, “Nlhuku ammahe ibarakha mwene nowa wo nchina no Athithi uyo! Mpuha ukhalhe wiirimu ni nthimicho wa Nlhuku wiirimu!”

39 Amafarisayo akina munlhokoni mmo nkayaamwiirelha Yesu, “Owiittuchiha, mwaamaalhiheke owiittucha inyu ayo!”

40 Yesu nkaakhulha, “Kinouhimeriani wiira, kaamaalhihaka, malhuku anoweemelha ni ukhuwelha.”

41 Nkaatameria iwani, ni vawo vonne awe, nkaamoriha miithori o nlhelhaka attu o Uyerusalemu, 42 eeraka, “Mwakaachuwenlhe lhelho chittu chimmwiiha mpuha! Nansho chihovithiya uwaninyu. 43 Ukhalhawaya mahuku anoowa amalhaponi inyu vanohalha aya urukurerihani ntuto, othothokelhakani kila mpatta. 44 Anowa uunyikalhachani inyuva vamoka ni attu inyu nlhuwanini mwinyu, ahihalhihaka ata nlhuku nimoka vachulhu nlhuku nikina, wo nlhatu noohichuwelha nihuku Nlhuku naawilhe awe uwoopolhani.”

45 Yesu nkaarwa ni Inupa ya Nlhuku nkaachokholha woomolha vathe attu yaapanga maronda, 46 eerelhaka, “Iholhepiya, Nlhuku heera, ‘Inupa aka inohalha ukhalha inupa yo lhapelha attu.’ Nansho mwaattiva nhorukunusha ukhalha nikhuku no attu o uvara makhuche!”

47 Kila nihuku Yesu nkeettuchiha attu upuwani u Inupa ya Nlhuku. Opochera ishaani olhupalhe ni owiittuchiha Malhehero, ni aholhelhi a attu yaari athananaka umwiiva, 48 nansho khayaari ni iphiro yo wiira ukhalhawaya attu onkhaye aari amwiiwelhelhaka, ahittunaka ukufia ata nlhove nimoka.
