2 Basanu balikuba bapusa kayi nabambi basanu balikuba bacenjela.
3 Basa basanu bapusa, balamanta malampi abo kwakubula kumantako mafuta apalubasu.
4 Basa bacenjela basanu, balo balamantilila mafuta apalubasu munsupa shabo akuya kwisusha malampi.
5 Nomba shibwinga usa walacelwa, neco bonse balatatika kushinshila, balona tulo.”
6 “Pakati pamashiku, kwalanyumfwika maswi abantu balikubilikisheti, ‘Shibwinga uyo lesanga! Pulani mwenga mumutambule!’
7 Lino balindu basa likumi balapunduka, ne kutatika kubamba cena malampi abo.
8 Basa basanu bapusa, balatatika kusenga mafuta ku banabo bacenjela, ‘Kamutupako mafuta, malampi etu alashimikinga.’
9 Lino basa bacenjela balakumbuleti, ‘Bacu! Mulayandanga ne njafwe mafuta atupwile twamuyabilako, amwe kamuyani mule mafuta kuli beshikulisha.’
10 Pacindi cindi ncobalafumapo kuya kula mafuta, nendi shibwinga walashika. Basa balindu basanu balikuba balibambila, balengila pamo mu ng'anda ya malyalya abwinga, ne cisasa calacalwa.
11 “Panyuma pakendi balindu basanu bapusa basa balesa, balambeti, ‘Nkambo! Nkambo! kamutucalwilako.’
12 Nomba shibwinga walakumbuleti, ‘Kumwambila cakubinga, nkandimwishipo sobwe.’”
13 Yesu pakupwililisha walambeti, “Amwe kamubani balibambila, pakwinga nkamubwishi busuba, nambi ola lyakwisa kwakendi.”
14 “Bwami bwakwilu tubwelanike cisa, muntu naumbi walaya pabulwendo. Katananyamuka walakuwa basebenshi bakendi, ne kubashiyila ngofu shakwendelesha buboni bwakendi.
15 Walapa uliyense mbuli ncelela kukonsha, naumbi walamupa mali amukuba myanda makumi asanu, naumbi myanda makumi abili kayi naumbi myanda likumi. Nendi walafumapo.
16 Musebenshi usa walapewa mali myanda makumi asanu, walacaninapo kayi mali apelu akwana myanda makumi asanu.
17 Nendi usa walapewa mali myanda makumi abili, walacaninapo kayi mali apelu akwana myanda makumi abili.
18 Nomba usa walapewa mali myanda likumi, walemba cisengu ne kwafumbika mali asa ngalapewa ne mwami wakendi.”
19 Mpopalapita cindi citali, mwami usa walabwela, walabakuwa basebenshi bakendi bonse, kwambeti bamwambile mobalasebenseshela mali asa.
20 Usa musebenshi walapewa mali myanda makumi asanu, walaletelapo kayi mali ali myanda makumi asanu, ne kwambeti “Mwami ‘pamali asa ngomwalampa ndacaninapo kayi mali akwana myanda makumi asanu.’
21 Mwami wakendi walamwambileti, wensa cena, njobe musebenshi waina washomeka, lino pacebo cakuba washomeka pabintu bing'ana, nindikupe lino ncito yakwendelesha bintu bingi. Kwesa usamwe pamo nenjame ndemwami wakobe.
22 Nendi musebenshi usa walapewa mali akwana myanda makumi abili, walaletelapo mali ali myanda makumi abili ne kwambeti, mwami pamali asa ngomwalampa ndacaninapo kayi mali akwana myanda makumi abili.
23 Mwami wakendi walamwambileti, ‘Wensa cena, njobe musebenshi waina washomeka, lino pacebo cakuba washomeka pabintu bing'ana, nindikupe ncito yakwendelesha bintu bingi. Kwesa usamwe pamo nenjame ndemwami wakobe.’
24 “Nendi musebebenshi walapewa mali myanda likumi, walambeti, ‘Nkambo ndacishibangeti mwaipa moyo, mukute kutebula nkomwabula kubyala, ne kuyobolola nkomwabula kumwaya mbuto.
25 Neco ndatinanga, encondalafumbikila mucisengu mali enu, nomba ntawa mali enu.’
26 Mwami wakendi usa walamwambileti, njobe musebenshi waipa, kayi mutolo. Anu wacishibangeti, nkute kutebula nkondalabula kubyala ne kuyobolola nkondalabula kumwaya mbuto.
27 Neco wanga welela kuya kwibikisha ku banki kwambeti mpondesa ne ndatambulu mali ne bwili.
28 Lino mulamuneni awo mali, mupe uyo ukute mali myanda makumi mwanda.
29 Ecebo cakendi uliyense ukuteko cintu, nibaka mubikilepo nabimbi, neco nakabe ne bintu bingi. Nomba uyo wabulapo cintu, nibaka mulamune nakaba kantu nkakute.
30 Musebenshi uyu waipa wabula ncito, muwaleni kunsa mu mushinshe, uko eti kukabenga kulila ne kukokota meno.”
31 “Cindi Mwana Muntu akesanga kali Mwami, pamo ne bangelo bonse, nakekale pa cipuna cabwami cakendi ca Bulemeneno.
32 Nakabunganye bantu bamishobo yonse pantangu pakendi. Nakapansanyenga bantu mbuli mwembeshi ncakute kupansanya mbelele ne mpongo.
33 Mbelele nakashibikenga kucikasa cakendi ca kululyo, mpongo kucikasa cakendi ca kucipiko.
34 Neco, Mwami nakambile abo bali kucikasa cakululyo, ‘Kamwisani kuno amwe mwalelekwa ne Bata! Kamwingilani mu Bwami mbwalamubambila kufuma pakulengwa kwacishi capanshi.’
35 Pakwinga ndalanyumfwa nsala mwalampa cakulya. Ndalanyumfwa nyotwa, mwalampa menshi akunwa. Ndalikuba mwensu, mwalantambula kung'anda kwenu.
36 Ndalikuba matakosha, mwalamfwalika. ndalakolwa mwalanyamfwilisha. Ndalikuba mujele, mwalesa kumbona.”
37 “Popelapo balulama nibakepusheti, ‘Nkambo twalamubona kupeyo kamunyumfwa nsala, afwe ne kumupa cakulya nambi kamunyumfwa nyotwa, afwe ne kumupa menshi akunwa.
38 Twalamubona lilyoni kamuli bensu, afwe ne kumutambula kumanda etu, nambi kamuli matakosha, afwe ne kumufwalika?
39 Ni lilyoni mpotwalanyumfwapo eti mulakolwanga, nambi eti muli mujele, afwe ne kwisa kumubona?
40 Mwami na kabakumbuleti “Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, mpomwalikwinshila ibi kubanse bakame babula ncobabelepo, mwalikwinshila ame ndepele.”
41 Panyuma pakendi Mwami nakambile bali kucikasa cakucipiko, “Kamufumapa, amwe bashinganwa! Kamuyani kumulilo utapu uyo Lesa ngwabambila Muyungaushi ne bangelo bakendi baipa abo balapandukila Lesa! (aiōnios )
42 Ndalikunyumfwa nsala, muliya kumpa cakulya. Ndalikunyumfwa nyotwa, muliya kumpa menshi akunwa.
43 Ndalikuba mwensu muliya kuntambula kumanda enu, ndalikuba matakosha, muliya kumfwalika. Ndalikukolwa, kayi ndalikuba mujele, muliya kwisa kunyamfwilisha.”
44 Balo ni bakambeti, “Nkambo, Inga nililyoni mpotwalamubona kamumfwa nsala, nambi kamunyumfwa nyotwa, nambi kamuli matakosha. Twalanyumfwapo lilyoni eti mulakolwanga, nambi eti muli mujele afwe twalakana kumunyamfwilisha?
45 Nendi Mwami nakabakumbuleti, ‘Cakubinga ndamwambilishingeti, pacindi ncomwalikukana kunyamfwa banse bame babula ncobabelepo, mwalikukana kunyamfwa ame.’
46 Popelapo nibakenga cisubula citapu, balo balulama kabaya kubuyumi bwamuyayaya.” (aiōnios )
