1 Yesu nkeera, “Ikekheene kinouhimeriani, ntu hinokelha wo uvira vanlhakoni ihilhi yo ikhondoro, apephenyaka ni uwelha wo iphiro ikina, yoyo ntu owiiya ni o uvara makhuche. 2 Nansho nokelha wo uvira vanlhakoni, yoyo phi nshunga o ikhondoro. 3 Nolhitelhelha ihilhi nonhulhelha nchelhe ni ikhondoro chinowiiwa nlhove nawe. Nowoopa nthuri wiihana ikhondoro chawe kila imoka wo nchina naya, ni uholhelha vathe. 4 Chamalhaka ukhuma vathe, nooholhelha uholho, ni ikhondoro chinonttwara, ukhalhawaya chihonchuwelha nshunga aya. 5 Ikhondoro khachinooria unttwara ntu hiri mwanene, chinonttawa ukhalhawaya khachichuwenlhe nthuri wawe.”

6 Yesu ahaahimeria nenno nlhikaaniho nno, nansho ayo khayachuwenlhe maana aya.

7 Yesu nkeera tho, “Ikekheene kinouhimeriani, Miyaano phi nlhako wo ikhondoro. 8 Akina ayo, onkhaye aawilhe kihinaya mii, phi owiiya ni owaakha, ni ikhondoro khacheewelhenlhe. 9 Miyaano phi nlhako. Ntu nokelha wo uvirelha uwannyaka nowoopolhiya, nookelha ni ukhuma, ni upatta malhiho. 10 Attu owiiya anowa wo nrima wo wiiya, wiiva ni utanganya. Miyaano kiwilhe wiira mwaatti mpatte ukhalha ni ukumi, ukumi wo utimira.

11 “Miyaano phi nshunga orera nrima, nokumiha ukumi awe wo nlhatu no wiinanelha ikhondoro chawe. 12 Namitheko o ulhiviya, hirii nshunga, ni ikhondoro chihikhalhaka chawawe, vanoona awe mwiichi uwaaka, noohiya ikhondoro ni uttawa, mwiichi nkawaavara ikhondoro ni umwarushacha. 13 Yoyo noottawa wo uhilhoha ittu, ukhalhawaya uyo rii namitheko o ulhiviya tu. 14 Miyaano phi nshunga orera nrima. Kinowaachuwelha arii awaka, ni ayo arii awaka anookichuwelha miyaano, 15 thoko Athithi vanokichuwelha aya, ni mii chinaachuwelhaka Athithi. Miyaano kinookumiha ukumi aka wo nlhatu naya. 16 Chihawo tho ikhondoro chikina chawaka chihiri nhiilhini mu. Kihothananiya uwiiha ni chiyo, ni chiyo chinowiiwa nlhove naka, ni ukhalha mphingo mmoka ni nshunga mmoka.

17 “Athithi anokittuna ukhalhawaya kinookumiha ukumi aka wiira kiwe kaapochera tho. 18 Khaawo ntu o ukithurulha ukumi aka, miyaano kinokumiha wo uttuna waka kimwanene. Kihanaa ikuru yo ukumiha ni yo ukusha tho. Chiichammo phi malheheriyo kirumme aya Athithi kipange.”

19 Uhiiwanana nkawaakhumelhelha tho munlhokoni mwa Ayahudi wo nlhatu no yayo malhove ayo. 20 Attu enchi yaari yiiraka, “Ri ni nshoka no unanara. Ri ni ihalhahalha! Ye ishiyani umwiiwelhelha?”

21 Nansho attu akina nkayeera, “Ntu o nshoka no unanara khanooria wulhumacha malhove thoko alha! Nshoka ninooria chani uttukulha miitho a attu ohona?”

22 Yayo mahuku ayo waari nlhaalha wo uririya, ni nihuku no wuupuwelha uttukuriya Inupa ya Nlhuku naari nittapelhelhiyaka Uyerusalemu. 23 Yesu aari eetakachaka u Inupa ya Nlhuku vaari nipirothi ni Naselemani. 24 Ayahudi nkayanrukureria ni unkoha, “Nnohalha unihiya nichukulhaka mpaka yaakhani? Nkanihimerieni ikeekhene, chani inyuva phi Kuristo Moopolhi?”

25 Yesu nkaakhulha, “Kihoohimeriani, nansho khannorumelhelha. Mitheko chinopanga aka miyaano wo nchina na Athumwanaka phi nokihimiechesha, 26 nansho mwaattiva khannorumelhelha, ukhalhawaya mwaattiva kanhena ikhondoro chaka. 27 Ikhondoro chaka chinowiiwa nlhove naka, ni mii kinochuwelhacha, ni chiyo chinokittwara. 28 Miyaano kinowaavaha attu ukumi wo mahuku o uhimalha, ni ayo khanokhwa tho. Khaawo ntu nooria ukithurulha mmathathani mwaka. 29 Athumwanaka akivanhe chechiyo phi olhupalhe waapwaha onkhaye, khaawo nooria waathurulha Athithi mmathathani mwaya. 30 Athithi ni Miyaano niri amokaaru.”

31 Ayahudi nkayaalhokotta malhuku tho wiira amwaate. 32 Yesu nkeera, “Kihopanga ntheko mwinchi kivahiye aka na Athithi mwoonaka, phi ntheko waani etu wo chechiyo unoopangani nkaate ni malhuku?” 33 Ayahudi nkayaamwaakhulha, “Khaninowaatani malhuku wo nlhatu no mitheko choombone, nansho wo nlhatu no unlhava Nlhuku! Ukhalhawaya nneepanga Nlhuku, uno nnari ntu thoko hii.” 34 Yesu nkaakhulha, “Chani, kilhepiye nhina Malhehero inyu wiira Nlhuku heera, ‘Miyaano kihohimia, mwaattiva milhuku?’ 35 Nihochuwelha wiira chinohimiya ni Malhove Matakatifu chiri che ikeekhene mahuku onkhaye, Nlhuku eehanaka yayo attu ayo milhuku, attu arwehelhiye nttenga awe.

36 “Thoko chiri aka mii, Athithi ahokithanlha ni ukiruma velhaponi. Veeshiyani etu, nneera wiira kihonlhava Nlhuku wo wiipanga Mwaana a Nlhuku? 37 Nhikirumelhelheke etu, yakhalhaka wiira khakinopanga mitheko chilheheriyaka ni Athumwanaka. 38 Nansho yakhalhaka kinoopanga, ata mwaahikirumelhelheke, mena etu nrumelhelheke mitheko chiyo, wo uchuwelha wiira Athithi anookhalha nhina mwaka, ni mii kinookhalha nhina mwa Athithi.” 39 Nkayaamwiithelha wiira ammare tho Yesu, nansho nkaakulhupuwa mmathathani mwaya.

40 Yesu nkaahokolhia tho ukhopelhelhe mwoolhoko wo Yorodani, vakittu Nayohana vaari aya aabatiizaka attu, nkaakhalha wowo. 41 Attu enchi nkayanrwelha nkayeera, “Nayohana khayaapannge yo ushangiha iriyoothe. Nansho yoolhumanche aya Nayohana amwaachaka ulha ntu ulha onkhaye aari e ikeekhene.” 42 Ni attu enchi vavawo nkayanrumelhelha Yesu.
