Mfano wa mnyalaji
(Matei 13:1-9; Lukasi 8:4-8)
Yesu nakaluka kuwalangusa wanhu hafungo mwa ilamba. Wanhu wenji nawammemelela mbaka naimgana yenjile mitumbwi na kikalisa. Wanhu weng'ha nawali wekale musangalaza hafungo mwa ilamba. Yali yowalangusa menji kwa nhelo, na kuli malanguso ga heye nakawalonjela, “Mhulichize, mnyalaji nakaluta kunyala nyhadikwa. Loyali yonyala nyhadikwa, zinji nazigwa mnzila, videje vyuya vidobola vilya. Zinji nazigwa honhu hawele na ng'ongwa, hawele hela misanga minji. Nazota himahima kwa vila misanga najali michefu. Lusanya lolulawile, zilakala na kwa vila mizabi jali mchanyamchanya hela, zikala. Zinji nazigwa hali migodi ja miwa, na jila miwa jikula zipilinjila zila nyhadikwa nazo hazilelile nhyule. Ila zinji nazigwa hali misanga jinojile, zota zikula zilela imwe mala makumi gadatu, na imwe mala makumi sita na imwe mala miya.” Yesu nakawalonjela, “Yawele na makutu ga kuhulika na yahuliche.”
Malanguso ga mnyalaji
(Matei 13:10-17; Lukasi 8:9-10)
10 Yesu vyoyaponile yeka, wamwe wa wala wamhuliche nawamlutila hamwe na wala kumi na weli, wamuuza mbuli ya awu nhelo. 11 Na heye kawalonjela, “Hemwe mpegwa kuuzela uviso wa Undewa wa Nguluwi, ila wanji wala wawele kunze wolonjelwa chila chinhu kwa nhelo, 12 leka,
‘Walole ng'hatu, ila waleche kona.
Wahuliche ng'hatu, ila waleche kuvizela.
Nawadite ahyo, wahamgaluchile Nguluwi,
na heye yahawosele gehile ga hewo.’ ”
Yesu kangugubula nhelo wa mnyalaji
(Matei 13:18-23; Lukasi 8:11-15)
13 Hamba Yesu kawalonjela, “Ndaze, hemwe hamuizelele nhelo ayi? Modita ndaze lelo, kuizela nhelo yoneche yila? 14 Mnyalaji kangunyala ulonzi wa Nguluwi. 15 Wanhu wanji ndo kota zila nyhadikwa zinyaligwe mnzila ulonzi hounyaligwe. Ila bahala du loyohulika, Limazoga lyuyaga na kusa ulonzi awo unyaligwe mgati mwa hewo. 16 Wanhu wanji ifanda kota nyhadikwa inyaligwe hali italawe. Baho du lowouhulika awo ulonzi, hubochela kwa kusangalala ng'hatu. 17 Ila hambe uwenjile na kuwa na mizabi mgati mwa hewo, hulutilila kibatilila hado hela, na mhela wa ugayo au wihe houlawila kwa mbuli ya ulonzi awo, baho wangugozola. 18 Wanhu wanji ndo kota zila nyhadikwa zigwile hali migodi jiwele na miwa. Ahyo ndo kiwhana na wanhu wala wawele hulika awo ulonzi, 19 ila lunhwinhwi lwa isi ino, kunojezwa na lufufu, maya ga chila mbuli kuwenjila na kubananga ulonzi awo, nawo haulela mafuza. 20 Ila wanji ifanda kota zila nyhadikwa zinyalilwe kuli misanga jinojile. Awa wohulika ulonzi awo, woubochela, wolela mafuza, wanji mala makumi gadatu, na wanji mala makumi sita, na wanji mala miya imwe.”
Chenje chigubikwe
(Lukasi 8:16-18)
21 Yesu nakalonga kahi, “Ndaze, wanhu hawawesaga chenje na kigala mng'handa na kugubika na chidoto au kuwika mluvungu? Hebu! Huwikaga honhu ha kuwichila chenje. 22 Chila chinhu chivisigwe chowichigwa hazelu na chila chinhu chigubikwe chogubuligwa. 23 Ahyo, yawele na makutu ga kuhulika yahuliche.”
24 Nakawalonjela kahi, “Mhulichize goya chomhulika! Chipimilo chichila chomulinguwapimila wanhu wanji ndo chicho Nguluwi kowapimila namwe, kahi mokonjezelwa ng'hatu. 25 Yawele na chinhu kopegwa na chinji. Heye yawele hela chinhu, na achila chidodo choyawele nacho choholigwa.”
Mfano wa nyhadikwa ilingota
26 Yesu nakalonga, “Undewa wa Nguluwi ufanda kota hino, munhu nakanyala nyhadikwa kumgunda. 27 Nechilo kanguwasa, na nemisi kangulola na nyhadikwa zangulutilila kukula, ila heye havizelele chilingukoleka. 28 Misanga jangudita mihale kukula na kulela mafuza, mwaluko kuzuka mahamba madeche, hamba liso na mwiso nhyule mgati mwa liso. 29 Aho wone nhyule ipye, munhu ayo kokwaluka kuhola chimaje cha kebenela kwa vila mhela wa mbena ufika.”
Nyadikwa iwele ndodo lukami
(Matei 13:31-32,34; Lukasi 13:18-19)
30 Yesu nakawauza, “Tuuwhanize Undewa wa Nguluwi na chinhu chachi? Tudamle kwa nhelo yachi? 31 Ufanda kota hino, munhu nakahola nyhadikwa iwele ndodo ng'hatu ya haladali kusinda zeng'ha na kuinyala mmisanga. 32 Mhela udo hela, yokota na kuwa igodi likulu kusinda migodi jeng'ha kumgunda. Nhagala ziwaga ng'hulu videje vya kuulanga vyuyaga kuzenga vivulila vyawo mlubehelo lwa nhagala za alyo igodi.”
33 Yesu nakawadamlila usenga wa heye kwa nhelo nyinji, nakadamla na hewo kota vila vyowaliwovizela. 34 Heye Yesu nahayali yolangusa chinhu ne kuwika nhelo, ila wone yawe yeka na walanguswa wa heye, kowa yowagubulila goyalonjile.
Yesu kanguilonjela nhigu inyamalile
(Matei 8:23-27; Lukasi 8:22-25)
35 Lusanya vyo luswele, Yesu kawalonjela awala walanguswa wa heye, “Tuloche kumwambu kwa ilamba.” 36 Lelo, nawawaleka wanhu wamemile, walanguswa nawenjila amo mu itumbwi, kwali na mitumbwi jinji aho. 37 Baho du nakwali na mbeho, na kutiguka kwa mazi mu ilamba, itumbwi na lyaluka kumema mazi. 38 Heye Yesu nakawasa yawichile mutwi mchegamo, awala walanguswa wamwinula wamlonjela, “Mlangusa, ndaze hulingona kota hetwe tobagama kwa mazi?” 39 Lelo, nakenuka kailonjela ila mbeho “Nyamalile!” Vivila kailonjela nhigu ya ilamba, “Tulu! Nyamalile!” Baho mbeho nainyamalila na kwali tulu. 40 Yesu nakawalonjela awala walanguswa wa heye, “Leka choni mwangudumba? Ndaze, mng'hali hela makundo?” 41 Nahewo nawadumba heko walonga, “Ayu munhu wachi lelo, mbaka nhigu na mbeho vyangumuhulika?”
