1 Yesu nkeerelha owiittucha awe, “Ahaawo ntu o nhakhu aari ni akarani o ipilhi yo weemelhelha nhakhu awe. Nkaahimeriya wiira akarani ayo aari alhiaka pufia nhakhu awe uyo. 2 Paahi nkeehana ni weerelha, ‘Urini anaa, malhove kineewa aka alha? Nkaalhakelheke etu nhakhu aka, ukhalhawaya khanrina tho ipilhi yo ukhalha akarani aka.’ 3 Akarani nkayeechiirelha aneneru, ‘Anene ntheko alha ankelha ukithurulha ipilhi aka. Kiireke chani vano etu? Akooriaka ulhima, koonaka ishoni unlhepelha ntu. 4 Aye, kihochuwelha cho wiira! Vanohalha aka uhiihiya ipilhi aka munthekoni vawo, kinowa kaapatta manyampwana o kipochera mii mmanupani mwaya.’

5 “Paahi nkeehana attu onkhaye aashimihiye nchurukhu ni anene ntheko. Nkaakoha o upacha, ‘Ana mwaashimme nchurukhu nchani?’ 6 Nkaakhulha, ‘Mapipa imia o makhura o uto, maalhakelhiyo ayo alha vaa.’ Akarani nkayeera, ‘Nkhalheke nlhepeke wiira yaari makhumi nthanu.’ 7 Nkankoha nkina, ‘Haya ni inyu mwaashimme nchani?’ Nkaakhulha, ‘Kaashimme mirupa imia imoka cho ngaano. Maalhakelhiyo ayo phi alha vaa.’ Nkeerelhiya ni uyo, ‘Nlhepeke wiira yaari mirupa makhumi nane.’

8 “Paahi etu, anene ntheko ayo nkayaapuhiha yayo akarani o ipilhi o uhilhoka ayo wo irusho chaarina aya. Ukhalhawaya attu o velhaponi ari o upenya waapwaha attu o nthuko.”

9 Yesu nkoolhumacha tho, “Ni mii kinowiirelhani wiira, mpangeke umpwana ni nhakhu wo mwiilhaponi, vanohalha aya umalha vawo, mmwe mwaapocheriya mu nihema no mahuku o uhimalha.” Vavawo nkeerelha, “Mwaatti nneepanga orera nrima mwaattuni, nansho Nlhuku achuwelhaka mirima chinyu. Ukhalhawaya ittu inoonia uteelha waattuni, Nlhuku noona wiira phiri yo uhilhoka. 10 Ntu riyoothe nokhulhuvelhiya wo makani nowa ukhulhuvelhiya wo chittu chuulhupalhe, ntu hinokhulhuvelhiya wo makani, khanowa aakhulhuvelhiya wo chittu chulhupalhe. 11 Mwaahirumelhelhiyeke wo chittu cho mwiilhaponi, nnohalha ukhulhuvelhiya chani etu wo nhakhu we ikekhiaye? 12 Vavawo mwaahiphwanelheke munhakhuni mwa ntu nkina, mpani etu nohalha uuvahani ittu?”

13 “Khaawo namitheko nooria waatumikelha ashinene ntheko elhi, apangaka chiicho, nowa unvenga mmoka ni unttuna akina ama nookhulhuvelhiya wa ntu mmoka ni uhikhulhuvelhiya wa ntu nkina. Khannoria ukaviha ntheko wa Nlhuku ni nhakhu vamoka.”

14 Amafarisayo veewilhe aya chaahimiya ni Yesu, nkaayaathunalhacha wo nlhatu no uttuna nchurukhu chinene. 15 Yesu nkeerelhacha, “Mwaatti phi inyu nneepanga attu o nrima woombone mwaattuni, nansho Nlhuku achuwelhaka uwonya winyu. Ukhalhawaya chittu chinoonia wiira phi chorera mwaattuni chechiyo phi cho uhilhoka wa Nlhuku.

16 “Malhehero a ashinna Musa ni malhove alhepiye ni anamilhohi chaari chihimiyaka mpaka ikatema i Nayohana Obatiiza, ukhuma vavawo, Malhove Orera o Imwene ya Nlhuku phi nohimiachiya, ni kila ntu akelhaka wo machiri. 17 Nansho vari vowaalhuwa irimu ni ilhapo uvira, upwaha inakhalhaka nlhove nimoka nilhepiye no Malhehero ufutiya.

18 “Ntu riyoothe naavaha mahanu awe italaka ni waathelha athiyana akina, holhavalhava, ni ntu naathelha opani ayo, ni uyo holhuva.

19 “Ahaawo ntu mmoka o nhakhu aawara ikuwo cho nchurukhu mwinchi cho thereria ni ukhalha mumpuhani mahuku onkhaye. 20 Nkaakhalha tho ntu nshikini eehaniya Lazaro, aachanre makhwata iruttu yonkhaye, aawiihiya kila nihuku vankhorani va ntu o nhakhu ulhe, 21 amirelhaka ishenye cholhia chaamoramora vamezani va ntu o nhakhu ulhe. Ni ashipwa aari awaaka alhathaka makhwata awe.

22 “Nshikini ulhe, nkaakhwa, nkaakushiya ni minepa wiirimu ukhalhihiyani vamoka ni Aburahimu. Ntu o nhakhu ni uyo nkaakhwa, nkaavithiya. 23 Unaminepa nkaakhalha muuttwaruwani chinene, nkaapathusha miitho nkoona Aburahimu anakhanlhe utayi vamoka ni Nalazaro. 24 Paahi etu nkayeehana, ‘Apwiiya Aburahimu! Nkoonelhe ikiriri, mwaarume Nalazaro inakhalhaka apaphe vachulhu nikokho naya mmaashini, awe aatipiha nlhimi naka nna, ukhalhawaya mooro uri mu ukipahani chinene!’

25 “Nansho Aburahimu nkayaakhulha, ‘Muupuwelheke anaka, wiira vaari inyu akumi valhe mwaari mpuhaka chinene, Nalazaro ahuvaka. Nansho vano uno ari mumpuhani, ni inyu nhuvaka. 26 Inakhalhaka chiicho, variyari ihu hii ni inyu mwaatti, vari nlhikiti nulhupalhe, khavanooria ntu uwa uno ni attu o uno uwa wowo.’ 27 Ntu aari o nhakhu ulhe nkeera, ‘Kinolhepelha etu pwiiya wiira, mwaarume Nalazaro ayo arwee uwannyaka wa athumwanaka, 28 ukhalhawaya ahohalha ashihima aka athanu, arwee aamukache, ni ayo ahiwe aaphiyelha nna nipuro no ntwarusho nna.’

29 “Aburahimu nkayeera, ‘Ashihima inyu ahana malhove alhepiye a ashinna Musa ni anamilhohi akina o waamuka, eewelhelheke yayo.’ 30 Ntu o nhakhu ulhe nkaakhulha, ‘Yeyo vekha aya khinthosha, pwiiya Aburahimu! Nansho ntu akaahihimmwe ni urwaa wowo, vavawo anokhoroma ahiyaka uwonya waya.’ 31 Nansho Aburahimu nkayeera, ‘Yaahiiweke malhove a ashinna Musa ni anamilhohi, khanowa aarumelhelha attu ariyoothe anakhalhaka ahihimmwe nnookhwani.’ ”
