1 Po uYeesu akabhabhuula abhamanyili bhaake ichifwanikisho ichinine akati, “Ku kabhalilo ako, ichitangalala icha kumwanya indichikaghelele nu lusekelo ulwa bhweghi, luulwo bhakabhaapo abhalindu kalongo bhaabho bhakeegha inyaale shaabho nu kubhuuka pakumupokeela yuuyo akwegha. 2 Abhalindu bhahaano mu abho kalongo, bhakabha bha mahala, loole abhanine bhahaano bhakabha bhakonyofu. 3 Abhakonyofu bhahaano bhala, bhakeegha inyaale shaabho chishita kwegha na mafuta amanine agha kwongelesha. 4 Loole abha mahala bhahaano bhala bhakeegha inyaale shaabho pamupeene na mafuta mu supa agha kwongelesha. 5 Bhwo yuuyo akwegha aakaabha ukwisa, utulo tukabhakola abhalindu bhala bhooshi nu kupitila. 6 Loole pabhushiku pakati, abhandu bhakiitisha bhakati, ‘Tesha, yuuyo akwegha akwisa! Fumagha, tubhuuke pakumupokeela.’ 7 Nakalinga, abhalindu bhala bhooshi bhakalamusha nu kushitendekesha inyaale shaabho.

8 “Abhalindu abhakonyofu bhahaano bhala bhakabhabhuula abha mahala bhakati, ‘Tukusuuma mutwafwe amafuta ghamu ku nongwa iya kuti inyaale shiitu shikushima.’ 9 Loole abha mahala bhala bhakabhaamula bhakati, ‘Nashiku! Tutabhaghiile ukubhaafwa, paapo amafuta ghaagho tuli nagho, ghatabhaghiile ukutuyiilania na kaakanandi utwe pamupeene nuumwe. Kaali kiisa ukuti mubhuuke kuukwo bhakughulisha ukuti mwighulile yumwemwe.’

10 “Po abhakonyofu bhala bhakanyatuka ukubhuuka pakughula amafuta. Bhwo bhakubhuuka, yuuyo akwegha akiisa. Abhalindu abha mahala bhala bhaabho bhakabha bhiitendekeshiishe, bhakiingila pamupeene naghwe mu nyumba muumwo ubhweghi bhukabhombighwanga. Po umundu yumo akapinga ichiighi. 11 Pabhumalilo abhakonyofu bhala bhoope bhakaghaluka nu kwagha ichiighi chipinge. Po bhakiima kuuse nu kwitisha bhakati, ‘Ghwe malafyale, tukusuuma utwighulile ichiighi!’ 12 Loole yuuyo akwegha akabhaamula akati, ‘Nalooli ingubhabhuula, indabhameenye umwe!’ ”

13 UYeesu akabhabhuula abhamanyili bhaake akati, “Po mubhange maaso paapo mutalimeenye ishiku pamu akabhalilo kaako uMwana ughwa Mundu indiakaghalukaghe.”

14 UYeesu akeendelela ukuyugha ichifwanikisho ichinine akati, “Soona, ichitangalala icha kumwanya indichikaghelele nu mundu yuuyo akachuula. Bhwo akaali ukuchuula, akabhiitisha abhabhombi bhaake nu kubhapa ichuuma chaake ukuti ghweshi umundu achibhombelaghe imbombo. 15 Akamupa ghweshi umubhombi ukukongana na maka ghaake. Akamupa umubhombi ughwa kwanda italanta ihaano, ughwa bhubhili italanta shibhili nu ghwa bhutatu akamupa italanta* 25:15 Italanta Italanta yimo yikaghelela nu mufwalo ughwa kumuhomba umubhombi ifyinja 15 nu kwongelaapo. yimo, po akachuula.

16 “Nakalinga, umubhombi yuuyo usongo ghwake akamupa italanta ihaano, akabhuuka nasho ku bhuchulushi nu kukabha imbya inine ihaano. 17 Bhubhuubhwo, umubhombi yula yuuyo usongo ghwake akamupa italanta shibhili, akabhuuka nasho ku bhuchulushi nu kukabha imbya inine shibhili. 18 Loole umubhombi yula yuuyo usongo ghwake akamupa italanta yimo, akaya aakumba ichibhwina nu kuyishiila italanta yila.

19 “Bhwo akabhalilo akatali kaakinda, usongo ghwabho akaghaluka kuukwo akachuulila. Po akabhiitisha abhabhombi bhaake bhala ukuti bhamulingaanie muumwo bhakachibhombela ichuuma chaake. 20 Umubhombi yula yuuyo akapokeela italanta ihaano, akiisa ni talanta imbya ihaano inine nu kumubhuula usongo ghwake akati, ‘Ghwe songo, ukaamba italanta ihaano ukuti ishibhombelaghe imbombo, tesha, naakabha italanta imbya ihaano inine ishi.’ 21 Usongo ghwake yula akamubhuula akati, ‘Ghwabhomba akiisa leka. Ughwe ghwe mubhombi umwisa soona musubhaalilighwa! Paapo ghwali musubhaalilighwa ku tundu utunandi tuutwo ingakupa, ulu indiingubhiike ukubha mwimilili ughwa tundu utwingi. Isagha tusekele pamupeene.’

22 “Umubhombi yula yuuyo akapokeela italanta shibhili, ghwepe akiisa ni talanta imbya shibhili inine nu kumubhuula usongo ghwake akati, ‘Ghwe songo, ukaamba italanta shibhili ukuti ishibhombelaghe imbombo, tesha, naakabha italanta imbya shibhili inine ishi.’ 23 Usongo ghwake akamubhuula akati, ‘Ghwabhomba akiisa leka. Ughwe ghwe mubhombi mwisa soona musubhaalilighwa! Paapo ghwali musubhaalilighwa ku finandi fiifyo ingakupa, ulu indiingubhiike ukubha mwimilili ughwa findu ifyingi. Isagha tusekele pamupeene.’

24 “Loole umubhombi yula yuuyo akapokeela italanta yimo, akiisa nu kumubhuula usongo ghwake akati, ‘Ghwe songo, ingamanya ukuti ughwe ghwe mukafu leka. Ughwe uli ungati mundu yuuyo akwinula paapo atakabhyala nu kubhungaania paapo atakanyambaania. 25 Ingooghopa ukuyisofya italanta yaako, po ingabhuuka pakuyishiila mu ilongwi. Ulu, eegha italanta yaako iyi.’ 26 Usongo ghwake akamwamula akati, ‘Ughwe ghwe mubhombi mubhiibhi soona ghwe mukata! Linga ukamanya ukuti une ingwinula paapo indakabhyala, soona ingubhungaania paapo indakanyambaania, 27 po kali, kooni utakaambiikilagha italanta yangu ku bhachulushi ukuti bhwo ingughaluka niise neeghe italanta yangu pamupeene ni sha pamwanya?’ 28 Po usongo ghwake akalaghila akati, ‘Eegha italanta iyo, mupe umubhombi yula yuuyo ali ni talanta kalongo (10).’

29 “Paapo umundu ghweshi yuuyo akukabhombela akiisa kaako ali nako, uChaala indiakamwongeleshe akanine, loole umundu ghweshi yuuyo atakukabhombela akiisa kaako ali nako, uChaala indiakamupoke na kala kaako ali nako. 30 Umubhombi uyu ataa musubhaalilighwa, mutaaghe kuuse ku chiisi kuukwo indiakalilaghe nu kushesheetusha amiino ku nongwa iya bhubhafu ubhukali.”

31 UYeesu akeendelela ukubhabhuula abhamanyili bhaake akati, “Bhwo uMwana ughwa Mundu iisa mu bhukulumba bhwake pamupeene na bhandumi abheelu bhooshi, po indiakiikale pa chitengu chaake icha bhukulumba. 32 Abhandu ukufuma mu fyisu fyoshi indibhakabhungaane pandaashi papaake. Ghwepe indiakabhapaaghulanie isa muumwo umuliishi akupaaghulanikisha abhonangʼooshi ukufuma mu mbushi. 33 Isa muumwo umuliishi akubhabhiika abhonangʼooshi kulubhafu lwake ulwa kumwisa ni mbushi kulubhafu lwake ulwa kushoomi, bhubhuubhwo, ghwepe uMwana ghwa Mundu indiakabhabhiike abhagholofu kulubhafu lwake ulwa kumwisa, na bhatulanongwa kulubhafu lwake ulwa kushoomi.

34 “Po uMalafyale indiakabhabhuule abhandu bhala bhaabho bhali kulubhafu lwake ulwa kumwisa indiakati, ‘Isagha, umwe mwe uTaata abhasayite. Ingilagha mu chitangalala chiicho uChaala akabhatendekeshekesha ngaanila bhwo akupela ichiisu. 35 Paapo bhwo isala yikuumbabha, mukaamba ifindu, bhwo inyoota yiingolite, mukaamba amiishi agha kungʼwa, soona bhwo indi muheesha, mukaambokeela mu nyumba shiinyu. 36 Bhwo indali ni myenda, mukaamba imyenda iya kufwala. Bhwo indi mubhine, mukiisa pakuumbinia. Bhwo imbinyiighwe mu nyumba iya bhapinyighwa, mukiisa pakuundesha.’ 37 Po abhagholofu indibhakamwamule bhakati, ‘Ghwe Malafyale, kali, kabhalilo kaki kaako tukakubhona bhwo isala yikukubhabha tukakupa ifindu? Pamu kali, kabhalilo kaki kaako tukakubhona bhwo inyoota yikukolite nuutwe tukakupa amiishi agha kungʼwa? 38 Soona, kali, kabhalilo kaki kaako bhwo uli muheesha tukakupokeela mu nyumba shiitu? Pamu kali, kabhalilo kaki kaako bhwo utali ni myenda tukakufwasha imyenda? 39 Soona, kali, kabhalilo kaki kaako bhwo uli mubhine tukakubhinia, pamu bhwo upinyiighwe mu nyumba iya bhapinyighwa tukiisa pakukutesha?’ 40 Po uMalafyale indiakabhaamule indiakati, ‘Nalooli ingubhabhuula, kooshi kaako mukamubhombelagha umufuyuke yumo mu bhiitiki bhangu abha, po mukaambombelagha neene.’

41 “Po indiakabhabhuule bhala bhaabho bhali kulubhafu lwake ulwa kushoomi indiakati, ‘Tiilaapo panu umwe mwe uChaala abhaghunite! Bhuukagha mu mulilo ughwa bhwila na bhwila ghuughwo uChaala atendekeshiishe ku nongwa iya Seetano na bhandumi bhaake. 42 Paapo bhwo isala yikuumbabha, mutakaamba ifindu, bhwo inyoota yiingolite, mutakaamba amiishi agha kungʼwa. 43 Bhwo indi muheesha, mutakaambokeela mu nyumba shiinyu. Bhwo indali ni myenda, mutakaamba imyenda iya kufwala. Soona bhwo indi mubhine, mutakiisa pakuumbinia pamu bhwo imbinyiighwe mu nyumba iya bhapinyighwa, mutakiisa pakuundesha.’ 44 Po bhoope bhaabho bhali ku kakono kaake aka kushoomi indibhakamwamule indibhakati, ‘Ghwe Malafyale, kali, kabhalilo kaki kaako isala yikakubhabha, pamu inyoota yikakukola, pamu ukabha muheesha, pamu utakabha ni myenda, pamu ukabha mubhine, pamu ukabha mu nyumba iya bhapinyighwa, nuutwe tutakakwafwa?’ 45 Ghwepe indiakabhaamule indiakati, ‘Nalooli ingubhabhuula, shooshi shiisho mutakamwafwanga umushita kubhaghila yumo mu bhiitiki bhangu abha, po mutakaanyaafwanga neene.’

46 “Po abhatulanongwa bhala indibhakatiile nu kubhuuka ku bhulongi ubhwa bhwila na bhwila. Loole bhala bhaabho bhagholofu, indibhakiingile mu bhwumi ubhwa bhwila na bhwila.”
