Ninga Mudazilembera Juwau

12 Ntsiku zitanthatu mbidzati kutoma phwando ya Paskwa, Yezu afika ku Bhetanya kukhali Lazaro,+ wakuti Yezu akhadamulamusa muli akufa. 2 Kweneko iwo anʼkhunganyira siyali. Marta ndiye akhapereka pyakudya,+ mbwenye Lazaro akhali mʼbodzi wa ale akhadya* pabodzi na Yezu. 3 Penepo Mariya akwata hafu ya litru* ya mafuta akununkhira a nardho wakukhonda kubvungazwa na pinango, a ntengo ukulu kakamwe, iye aatsanulira mʼmiyendo ya Yezu mbaipukuta na tsisi yace. Nʼnyumba monsene mukhadadzala na khwema ya mafuta anewa akununkhira.+ 4 Mʼbodzi wa anyakupfundzace anacemerwa Yuda Iskariyoti,+ wakuti akhali cifupi toera kunsandukira, alonga: 5 “Thangwi yanji mafuta anewa akununkhira nee aguliswa na madhenaryo* 300, mbatipereka kobiri ineyi kuna anyakutcerenga?” 6 Iye nee alonga pyenepi thangwi yakufuna kuphedza anyakutcerenga, mbwenye ndi thangwi yakuti iye akhali mbava. Iye ndiye akhakoya bokosi ya kobiri, pontho akhaba kobiri ikhaikhwa mwenemu. 7 Penepo Yezu alonga: “Nsiyeni pyace acite pyenepi toera akhunganye mwanyapantsi ntsiku yakuikhwa kwanga munthumbi.+ 8 Thangwi anyakutcerenga muli nawo pabodzi ndzidzi onsene,+ mbwenye ine nee ndinakhala na imwe ndzidzi onsene.”+

9 Mu ndzidzi unoyu, mwinji ukulu wa Ayuda wadziwa kuti Yezu akhali ku Bhetanya, iwo aenda kweneko, tayu toera kuona Yezu basi, mbwenye toera kuonambo Lazaro adalamusa iye muli akufa.+ 10 Akulu a anyantsembe abverana toera kuphambo Lazaro, 11 thangwi Ayuda azinji akhaenda kweneko mbakhulupira Yezu+ thangwi yakuona Lazaro.

12 Mangwana mwace, mwinji ukulu wa anthu adabwera kuphwando, abva kuti Yezu akhabwera ku Yerusalemu. 13 Natenepa iwo akwata matsandzo a micindu mbaenda kantambira. Iwo atoma kukhuwa mbati: “Mpulumuseni, tisakuphembani! Mbasimbwe Mambo wa Izraeli,+ ule anabwera mu dzina ya Yahova!”*+ 14 Yezu agumana mwanaburu mbankwira,+ ninga mudalembwa ipyo kuti: 15 “Leka kugopa, iwe mwana wankazi wa Sioni. Ona! Mambo wako ali kubwera, iye akwira pa mwanaburu.”+ 16 Pakutoma anyakupfundzace nee abvesesa pinthu pyenepi, mbwenye pidapaswa Yezu mbiri,+ iwo akumbuka kuti pinthu pyenepi pikhadalembwa thangwi ya iye, pontho kuti anthu ancitira pinthu pyenepi.+

17 Mwinji wa anthu ukhali pabodzi na iye mu ndzidzi udacemera iye Lazaro munthumbi+ mbamulamusa muli akufa, ukhapitiriza kupanga anango pinthu pidacitika.+ 18 Ineyi ndi thangwi inango idacitisa anthu toera kuenda kagumanikana na Yezu, thangwi iwo abva kuti iye akhadacita cirengo ceneci. 19 Natenepa Afarisi acedza okha-okha mbati: “Onani, nkhabe cinthu cinakwanisa ife. Anthu onsene ali kuenda kuna iye.”+

20 Penepo pakhalimbo Agerego angasi mwa ale adabwera kudzalambira pa phwando. 21 Iwo afendedzera Filipi,+ wakuti akhali wa ku Bhetisaidha cisa ca ku Galileya, mbamʼphemba: “Mbuya, ife tisafuna kuonana na Yezu.” 22 Filipi aenda kapanga Andreya. Andreya na Filipi aenda kapanga Yezu.

23 Mbwenye Yezu aatawira: “Wafika ndzidzi toera Mwana wa munthu apaswe mbiri.+ 24 Ine ndinakupangani na cinyindiro consene kuti, mbeu ya tirigu ingakhonda kugwa pantsi mbifa, isapitiriza kukhala mbeu ibodzi. Mbwenye ingagwa pantsi mbifa,+ isabala misapo mizinji. 25 Munthu anafuna kakamwe umaso wace akuufudza, mbwenye ule anaida umaso wace mu dziko ino,+ akuutsidzikiza toera akhale na umaso wakukhonda mala.+ 26 Khala munthu asafuna kunditumikira, mbanditowere, kunakhala ine, ule ananditumikira anadzakhalambo kweneko.+ Khala munthu asafuna kunditumikira, Babanga anadzamulemedza. 27 Cincino ndiri wakunentseka kakamwe,+ mphapo ndinalonganji? Baba, ndipulumuseni pa ndzidzi uno wakunentsa!+ Mbwenye ndzidzi unoyu usafunika kupita na pana ine, thangwi ine ndadzera pyenepi. 28 Baba, pasani mbiri dzina yanu.” Penepo kwabveka fala+ buluka kudzulu, mbilonga: “Ine ndaipasa kale mbiri, pontho ndinadzaipasa mbiri.”+

29 Mwinji wa anthu ukhadalimira penepo pidabva iwo pyenepi alonga kuti ndi njazi idadhima. Anango alonga: “Ndi anju adalonga na iye.” 30 Yezu atawira: “Fala ineyi yabveka nee thangwi ya ine, mbwenye thangwi ya imwe. 31 Cincino dziko ino ikutongwa; cincino ntongi wa dziko+ ino anathamangiswa.+ 32 Mbwenye ndingamanikwa pamuti,+ ndinadzabweresa kuna ine anthu a mitundu yonsene.” 33 Mwandimomwene iye akhalonga pyenepi toera kupangiza kuti iye mbadafa tani.+ 34 Penepo mwinji wa anthu walonga: “Mwambo usalonga kuti Kristu anakhala kwenda na kwenda.+ Mphapo thangwi yanji iwe usalonga kuti Mwana wa munthu asafunika kumanikwa pamuti?+ Mbani Mwana wa munthu unoyu?” 35 Natenepa Yezu aapanga: “Ceza cinapitiriza pakati panu mu ndzidzi ungasi. Fambani mu ceza mu ndzidzi wakuti muciri naco, toera cidima cikhonde kukukundani. Munthu anafamba ncidima nkhabe dziwa kunaenda iye.+ 36 Mu ndzidzi wakuti muciri na ceza, khulupirani ceza toera mukhale ana a ceza.”+

Pidamala Yezu kulonga pyenepi, abuluka pakati pawo mbabisala pyace. 37 Maseze iye acita pirengo pizinji pamaso pawo, iwo nee akhanʼkhulupira, 38 toera akwanirisike mafala adalonga mprofeta Izaiya kuti: “Yahova,* mbani adakhulupira pinthu pidalonga ife?*+ Pontho mphambvu za Yahova* zapangizwa kuna ani?”+ 39 Thangwi inango idaacitisa kukhonda khulupira ndi idalonga Izaiya kuti: 40 “Iye afunga maso awo mbaumisa mitima yawo toera iwo akhonde kuona na maso awo, pontho mitima yawo ikhonde kubvesesa, natenepa iwo nee anabwerera kuna ine, ine mbandiawangisa.”+ 41 Izaiya alonga pinthu pyenepi thangwi aona mbiri ya Kristu mbalonga thangwi ya iye.+ 42 Ngakhale tenepo, atongi azinji akakhulupira Yezu,+ mbwenye thangwi ya Afarisi, iwo nee akhalonga kuti asanʼkhulupira, toera akhonde kuthamangiswa mu sinagoga;+ 43 thangwi iwo akhafuna kakamwe mbiri ya anthu, kupiringana mbiri ya Mulungu.+

44 Mbwenye Yezu alonga mwakugaluza mbati: “Munthu anandikhulupira nee asakhulupira ine basi, mbwenye asakhulupirambo Ule adandituma;+ 45 pontho ule anandiona, asaonambo Ule adandituma.+ 46 Ine ndabwera ninga ceza pa dziko,+ toera munthu anandikhulupira akhonde kupitiriza ncidima.+ 47 Mbwenye munthu angabva mafala anga mbakhonda kuakoya, ine nkhabe kuntonga; thangwi ine nee ndabwera kudzatonga dziko, mbwenye ndabwera toera kupulumusa dziko.+ 48 Munthu anandipwaza mbakhonda kutawira mafala anga, alipo anafuna kuntonga. Mafala adalonga ine ndiwo anafuna kuntonga pa ntsiku yakumalisa. 49 Thangwi ine nee ndalonga pinafuna ine, mbwenye Baba adandituma ndiye adandipanga* pinalonga ine na pinapfundzisa ine.+ 50 Pontho ine ndisadziwa kuti pidandipanga iye* pisatsogolera ku umaso wakukhonda mala.+ Natenepa, pinthu pyonsene pinalonga ine, ndisapilonga ninga mudandipangira Baba.”+
