Ninga Mudazilembera Mateu
17 Pidapita ntsiku zitanthatu, Yezu akwata Pedhru, Tiyago na mʼbale wace akhacemerwa Juwau mbakwira na iwo basi paphiri yakulapha.+ 2 Iye acinjika pamaso pawo; nkhope yace ikhayetimira ninga dzuwa, nguwo zace zacena kakamwe ninga ceza.+ 3 Iwo aonambo Mose na Eliya mbakacedza na iye. 4 Penepo Pedhru apanga Yezu: “Mbuya, mphyadidi tikhale pyathu pano. Mungafuna, ine ndinamanga misasa mitatu pano, ubodzi wanu, unango wa Mose unangombo wa Eliya.” 5 Mu ndzidzi ukhalonga iye, khole yakucena kakamwe yaaphimbira, pontho yabveka fala mu khole mbilonga: “Uyu ndi Mwananga wakufunika, anakomerwa na ine,+ mbvereni.”+ 6 Pakubva mafala anewa, anyakupfundza agopa kakamwe, iwo agodama mbakotamisa nkhope zawo pantsi. 7 Buluka penepo Yezu aafendedzera, aaphata mbalonga: “Lamukani. Lekani kugopa.” 8 Pidalamusa iwo nkhope zawo, iwo nee aona munthu unango, mbwenye aona Yezu basi. 9 Pikhatcita iwo paphiri, Yezu aapanga: “Lekani kupanga nee munthu mʼbodzi pinthu pidaona imwe, mpaka Mwana wa munthu angalamuswa muli akufa.”+
10 Mbwenye anyakupfundzace ambvundza: “Thangwi yanji apfundzisi a mwambo asalonga kuti ndi Eliya anafuna kubwera pakutoma?”+ 11 Iye aatawira: “Mwandimomwene Eliya anabwera mbasasanyira pinthu pyonsene.+ 12 Mbwenye ine ndinakupangani kuti Eliya abwera kale, pontho iwo acimwana kundzindikira, mʼmbuto mwace ancitira pinthu pyakuipa mwakubverana na pikhafuna iwo.+ Munjira ibodzi ene, Mwana wa munthu anadzathabuswambo mʼmanja mwawo.”+ 13 Natenepa anyakupfundzace adzindikira kuti iye akhalonga pya Juwau Mʼbatizi.
14 Pidafika iwo pana mwinji wa anthu,+ mamuna mʼbodzi afendedzera Yezu, agodama mbalonga: 15 “Mbuya, bverani ntsisi mwananga wamamuna thangwi iye ali na utenda wa njirinjiri, pontho ali kunentseka kakamwe. Iye kazinji kene asagwa pa moto na mʼmadzi.+ 16 Ine ndabwera naye kuna anyakupfundza anu, mbwenye iwo nee akwanisa kumuwangisa.” 17 Yezu atawira: “Imwe anthu akuipa na akusowa cikhulupiro,+ ndinapitiriza kukhala na imwe mpaka lini? Ndinakupirirani mpaka lini? Mʼbwereseni pano.” 18 Pidamʼbweresa iwo, Yezu asandika dimonyo, mbibuluka muna mʼphale. Mu ndzidzi ubodzi ene mʼphale awanga.+ 19 Penepo, anyakupfundza aenda kacedza na Yezu pakhundu, mbambvundza: “Thangwi yanji ife nee takwanisa kubulusa dimonyo?” 20 Iye aatawira: “Thangwi cikhulupiro canu ndi cakucepa. Mwandimomwene ine ndinakupangani kuti imwe mungakhala na cikhulupiro ninga mbeu ya mostardha, munakwanisa kupanga phiri iyi: ‘Buluka pano uende kule,’ iyo inabulukadi. Nkhabe cinthu cinafuna kucimwanika kuna imwe.”+ 21 *——
22 Pikakhala Yezu pabodzi na anyakupfundzace ku Galileya, aapanga tenepa: “Mwana wa munthu anadzaperekwa mʼmanja mwa anthu,+ 23 iwo anadzamupha, mbwenye pa ntsiku yacitatu iye anadzalamuswa muli akufa.”+ Natenepa anyakupfundzace atsukwala kakamwe.
24 Pidafika iwo ku Kafarnau, anyakulipisa nsonkho wa madhrakima* mawiri afendedzera Pedhru mbambvundza: “Kodi mpfundzisi wanu asalipa nsonkho?”+ 25 Pedhru atawira: “Inde, iye asalipa.” Mbwenye pikhapita iye nʼnyumba, Yezu ndiye adatoma kulonga naye, mbati: “Simau ndi api maonero ako? Mbani asatongwa kulipa nsonkho kuna amambo a dziko? Ndi anawo peno anyaphena?” 26 Pidatawira Pedhru kuti: “Ndi anyaphena,” Yezu ampanga: “Ndimomwene, ana a amambo nee asatongwa kulipa nsonkho. 27 Mbwenye toera tikhonde kuagwegwedusa,+ ndoko ku bara, ponya cimedzo cako, ntsomba* yakutoma inafuna kumanga iwe, ifungule mulomo wace, unagumana kobiri ya parata.* Kwata kobiri ineyi toera uende kalipa nsonkho wako na wanga.”
