2 Kukanakhala bwino kwa iye kuti aponyedwe mʼnyanja atamangiriridwa mwala wamphero mʼkhosi mwake kusiyana kuti achimwitse mmodzi mwa ana aangʼonowa.
3 Nʼchifukwa chake dziyangʼanireni nokha. “Ngati mʼbale wanu achimwa, mudzudzuleni, ndipo ngati alapa, mukhululukireni.
4 Ngati iye akulakwira kasanu ndi kawiri pa tsiku, ndipo ngati nʼkubweranso kwa iwe kasanu ndi kawiri nati, ‘Ndalapa,’ umukhululukire.”
5 Atumwiwo anati kwa Ambuye, “Kulitsani chikhulupiriro chathu!”
6 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ngati muli ndi chikhulupiriro chachingʼono ngati kambewu kampiru, mukhoza kulamula mtengo wamkuyu uwu kuti, ‘Zulidwa ndi kukadzalidwa mʼnyanja,’ ndipo udzakumverani.
7 “Tiyerekeze kuti mmodzi mwa inu anali ndi wantchito wolima kapena woweta nkhosa, kodi angawuze wantchitoyo atabwera ku munda kuti, ‘Tsopano bwera kuno khala pansi kuti udye?’
8 Kodi sangamuwuze kuti, ‘Konzere chakudya cha madzulo, iweyo ukonzeke ndipo undidikirire pamene ndikudya ndi kumwa; kenaka ukhoza kudya ndi kumwa?’
9 Kodi iye angathokoze wantchitoyo chifukwa chochita chimene anawuzidwa kuchita?
10 Chimodzimodzi inunso, mukachita zonse zimene munawuzidwa, muzinena kuti, ‘Ndife antchito osayenera; tangogwira ntchito yathu basi.’”
11 Tsopano Yesu anayenda mʼmalire a pakati pa Samariya ndi Galileya pa ulendo wake wa ku Yerusalemu.
12 Akulowa mʼmudzi wina, amuna khumi amene anali ndi khate anakumana naye. Iwo anayima patali
13 ndipo anafuwula ndi mawu okweza kuti, “Yesu, Ambuye, tichitireni chifundo!”
14 Iye atawaona, anati, “Pitani kadzionetseni nokha kwa ansembe.” Ndipo pamene iwo ankapita, anachiritsidwa.
15 Mmodzi wa iwo, ataona kuti wachiritsidwa, anabwerera, nayamika Mulungu ndi mawu okweza.
16 Anagwetsa nkhope yake nagwa pa mapazi a Yesu ndi kumuthokoza. Ndipo iye anali Msamariya.
17 Yesu anafunsa kuti, “Kodi amene anachiritsidwa sanalipo khumi? Nanga asanu ndi anayi ena ali kuti?
18 Kodi palibe mmodzi mwa iwo amene anabwerera kudzalemekeza Mulungu kupatula mlendoyu?”
19 Pamenepo anati kwa iye, “Imirira ndipo pita; chikhulupiriro chako chakuchiritsa iwe.”
20 Ndipo Afarisi atamufunsa Iye kuti, ufumu wa Mulungu udzabwera liti, Yesu anayankha kuti, “Mulungu sakhazikitsa ufumu wake mooneka ndi maso,
21 kapenanso kuti anthu adzati, ‘Uwu uli apa,’ kapena ‘Uwo uli apo,’ Pakuti taonani ufumu wa Mulungu uli pakati panu.”
22 Kenaka Iye anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Masiku akubwera pamene inu mudzalakalaka mutaona tsiku limodzi la masiku a Mwana wa Munthu, koma simudzaliona.
23 Anthu adzakuwuzani kuti, ‘Uyo ali apoyo!’ kapena ‘Uyu ali apa!’ Musawathamangire iwo.
24 Pakuti monga mphenzi ingʼanima ndi kuwala kuchokera mbali ina ya thambo kufikira inzake, koteronso adzakhala ali Mwana wa Munthu pa tsiku lake.
25 Koma poyamba ayenera kuzunzika mu zambiri ndi kukanidwa ndi mʼbado uno.
26 “Monga mmene zinkachitikira nthawi ya Nowa, momwemonso zidzachitikanso nthawi ya Mwana wa Munthu.
27 Anthu ankadya, kumwa, kukwatira ndi kukwatiwa mpaka tsiku limene Nowa analowa mʼchombo. Pomwepo chigumula chinafika ndi kuwawononga onsewo.
28 “Zinalinso chimodzimodzi nthawi ya Loti. Anthu ankadya ndi kumwa, kugula ndi kugulitsa, kudzala ndi kumanga.
29 Koma tsiku limene Loti anachoka ku Sodomu, moto ndi sulufule zinavumbwa kuchokera kumwamba ndi kuwawononga onsewo.
30 “Zidzakhalanso choncho Mwana wa Munthu akadzaonekera.
31 Tsiku limenelo munthu amene ali pa denga la nyumba yake, ndi katundu wake ali mʼnyumbamo, asadzatsike kukatenga. Chimodzimodzinso, munthu amene adzakhale ali ku munda asadzabwerere kukatenga chilichonse.
32 Kumbukirani mkazi wa Loti!
33 Aliyense amene ayesetsa kusunga moyo wake adzawutaya, ndipo aliyense amene ataya moyo wake adzawusunga.
34 Ine ndikukuwuzani inu, usiku umenewo anthu awiri adzagona pa mphasa imodzi; wina adzatengedwa ndipo wina adzasiyidwa.
35 Amayi awiri adzakhala pamodzi akusinja; wina adzatengedwa ndi wina adzasiyidwa.
36 Amuna awiri adzakhala akulima mʼmunda; wina adzatengedwa ndi wina adzasiyidwa.”
37 Iwo anafunsa kuti, “Ambuye, kodi zimenezi zidzachitikira kuti?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Kumene kuli mtembo, nʼkumene makwangwala amasonkhanako.”
