1 Paahi etu Yesu nkoolhumana wo malhikaaniho, “Ahaawo ntu aalhimme imata yo zabibu, nkaarukureriha ukucho, nkaathipa nlhikiti no waamelha izabibu ni ishanja yo ulhitelhelha imata. Nkaashimiha imata awe iyo anamalhima, nkaarwa nkwaha wo utayi. 2 Nlhaalha wo utokotta izabibu waayilhe aya, nkanruma karumiya arwee apochere mahalha. 3 Anamalhima alhe nkayammara karumiya uyo, nkayaamwata, nkayanhokolhosha mathatharu. 4 Nkanruma tho karumiya nkina, anamalhima nkayaamwata mmuruni ni umpangelhacha chittu cho wulhiha muru. 5 Anene imata nkayanruma karumiya nkina, nkeeviya, ni akina enchi yaarumiye aapangelhiya thoko chiicho, akina waatiya ni wiivakachiya akina. 6 Ntu mmoka aari hinarumiya aari mwaamwanaya onnyara anttuna aya chinene. Nkanruma ni uyo eecherelhaka wiira, ‘Kinoona wiira anokonlhoha mwaamwanaka kinonttuna aka ulha.’ 7 Nansho yamwooneke, anamalhima nkayaahimerianacha ashineneru, ‘Ulha vano phi mwaamwanaya anene imata. Nngwe nimwive, ni nhakhu ulha ukhalheke wawihu!’ 8 Paahi etu nkayammara ni umwiiva ni unrihelha uchereshere ukucho wo imata yo zabibu.”

9 Yesu nkaakoha, “Vano mwanene imata yo zabibu ulhe nohalha wiira chani? Nowa weeva anamalhima onkhaye ni waashimiha imata awe iyo attu akina. 10 Nhoshoma Malhove Matakatifu wiira, ‘Nlhuku nikhotiye ni atheki wiira khaninlhoka, nihothathuwa ukhalha vano no nsingi no vakhoonani. 11 Athithi anene phi pannge, chi chinooshangihani chi!’ ”

12 Aholhelhi a Ayahudi nkayaalhikacha ummara Yesu, ukhalhawaya yaari achuwelhaka wiira nenno nlhikaaniho nno naari naachaka. Nansho nkayoova attu. Nkayanhiya arwee.

13 Amafarisayo akina ni attu o nlhoko wa Naherode nkayaarumiya urwaa unriaa Yesu wo unkoha chookohiya. 14 Nkayaawa ni unkoha, “Owiittuchiha, nihochuwelha wiira inyu nri mu uhimiani ikeekhene, wo uhimwoova ntu. Khannonlhoha ntu chinre awe, nansho chineetuchiha inyu chiri cho ikekhia ya Nlhuku. Nnihimerieke etu, chani vahorera waalhiva Nakaisari ikhodi? Naalhiveke ama nihaalhive?”

15 Nansho Yesu ahochuwelha yoyo unafiki uyo nkaakhulha eeraka, “Veeshiyani ukiriaa? Kivahekeni etu nikobilhi nno koone.”

16 Nkayammaha nikhobilhi nimoka, ni uyo nkaakoha, “Ilha ikhove ilha, ni nna nchina nna niri na apani?”

Nkayaakhulhacha wiira, “Chi Nakaisari.”

17 Yesu nkaahimia tho wiira, “Mwaalhiveke Nakaisari iri ya Nakaisari ni ummaha Nlhuku iri ya Nlhuku.” Nkayaanshanga Yesu.

18 Attu akina munkutirani mwa Amasadukayo, aavanyiha wiira khuuwo uhihimmwa, nkayaawacha wa Yesu unkohani, nkayeera, 19 “Owiittuchiha, ashinna Musa aholhepa anihimeriaka wiira, ‘Ntu arimeelhaka aahiyaka amwarawe ahinayara, ahima awe anowooria ukelha manupa ni waayarelha ashaana arimeelhe ayo.’ 20 Yakhalhaka yaari ashilhoko saba, olhupalhe ayo ahothelha nkaakhwa wo uhaahiya ashaana. 21 O nayelhi ayo ni ayo chiicho, nkaakhwa wo uhaahiya ashaana. Ni o neraru chiicho, 22 ni akina aahalhenlhe ayo, onkhaye saba akelhaka manupa ni ukhwa wo uhahiya ashaana. Wo umalhihera, athiyana ayo nkayaakhwa. 23 Vano etu, nihuku no uhihimushiya attu akhwilhe nno, mpani nohalha ukhalha phi owannyaya athiyana alhe? Ukhalhawaya onkhaye saba ahaathelha.”

24 Yesu nkaakhulha eeraka wiira, “Nhowonya mwaattiva ayi! Nchuwelhaka wo nlhatu wani? Ukhalhawaya khanchuwenlhe Malhove Matakatifu ama machiri a Nlhuku. 25 Ukhalhawaya attu akhwilhe vanohalha aya uhihimushiya khanowa aathelha ama uthelhiya, onohalha ukhalha thoko minepa o wiirimu. 26 Vano vavawo, wo uhihimmwa attu mwaattiva khannaye ushoma Malhove Matakatifu a ashinna Musa nlhako unhimiacha mwaha wo ithuphi yaapharelha mooro? Iholhepiya vavawo, Nlhuku aheerelha ashinna Musa wiira, ‘Mii phi Nlhuku a Aburahimu ni Naisaka ni Nayakhobo.’ 27 Paahi ri Nlhuku a attu akumi, kahiwe akhwilhe. Mwaattiva onkhaye nhopotera chinene!”

28 Owiittuchiha Malhehero amoka aari vavawo eewelhelhaka. Nkoona wiira Yesu ahaakhulha Asadukayo ayo nlhove noolhoka, ni uyo nkaawa ankohaka Yesu eeraka, “Nlheheriyo naani niri nulhupalhe upwaha nikina?”

29 Yesu nkaakhulha, “Nooholhelha phi nna, ‘Nkeewani inyu Naisraeli! Apwiiya Nlhuku phi Nlhuku Athithi ari vekha! 30 Mwaattune Athithi Nlhuku inyu wo nrima inyu wonkhaye ni wo nnepa winyu wonkhaye ni wo irusho chinyu chonkhaye ni wo machiri inyu onkhaye.’ 31 No nayelhi phi nna, ‘Mwaattuneke amwaatamana inyu thoko chineettuna inyu mwaanene.’ Khaawo malheheriyo makina ari molhupalhe tho upwaha alha melhi alha.”

32 Owiittuchiha Malhehero ulhe, nkeera, “Nhomanya, Owiittuchiha! Nhohimia ikeekhene wiira Apwiiya Nlhuku phi yayo ari vekha, khaawo nkina olhupalhe ahikhalhe yayo. 33 Ni kila ntu hothananiya waattuna wo nrima wawe wonkhaye ni wo irusho chawe chonkhaye ni wo machiri awe onkhaye, ni waattuna amwaatamana aya thoko chineettuna aya ashinene, ilhokaka upwaha wo ukumiha isadaka cha ashinama ni isadaka chikina wa Nlhuku.”

34 Yesu nkoona wiira yayo owiittuchiha ayo ahaakhulha rata, nkaahimeria wiira, “Khanrii utayi ni Imwene ya Nlhuku.” Wo umalhihera vavawo, khaawo tho ntu ankohakonhe Yesu chookohiya chikina.

35 Yesu vaari awe eetuchihaka Inupa ya Nlhuku, nkaakoha, “Woonaka owiittuchiha Malhehero anohimiechesha wiira Kuristo Moopolhi nohalha ukhalha mwaana a Adaudi? 36 Adaudi anene wo uholhelhiya ni Iphumu ya Nlhuku aheera,

37 “Adaudi anene anehana yayo ‘Athithi.’ Chommo nlhatu wani Kuristo Moopolhi ukhalha mwaana a Adaudi?”

Attu enchi aari amwiwelhelhaka Yesu ateelhiyaka nrima. 38 Yesu veettuchiha awe nkeera, nkaahimia tho eeraka, “Mwiichinanelheke ni Owiittuchiha Malhehero anoviravira anawerenlhe miinjiro cho utalhiva achivelhiyaka ukohachiya wo nthimicho vakittu vanopangachiya maronda, 39 ateelhiyaka ukhalha mapuro o miholho, mmanupani mwo unlhapelha Nlhuku ni vakittu vanokumaana aya attu. 40 Anowaathurulhacha anankhwelhi chittu mmanupani mwaya, eepangaka attu o ulhapelha wo uhoochaa. Nihuku ni uhukumulhiya anowa utwarushiya wo uweria chinene!”

41 Yesu aari nakhanlhe vachereshere iphache yo uhelhiya isadaka wi Inupa ya Nlhuku, nkoona attu cheera aya wo ukumiha isadaka chaya. Attu o nhakhu enchi aakumiha nchurukhu mwinchi. 42 Paahi vavawo nkaawa anankhwelhi amoka ahirina ittu, nkaakumiha isenti pilhi. 43 Yesu nkeehanacha owiittucha awe ni uwerelha, “Kinouhimeriani wo ikekhiaye wiira, alha anankhwelhi ashikini alha ahohelha mphacheni isadaka yinchi waapwaha attu onkhaye akumihilhe mu. 44 Ukhalhawaya attu akhwawe ayo akuminhe chithempe munhakhuni mwaya, nansho alha apwiyawe ashikini alha, akuminhe chonkhaye chaakhulhuvelha aya ulhama.”
