1 Yesu anabwira abigirizibwa baage kwokuno: «Hâli riiri mugale muguma, yoꞌmwimangizi wage akalegwa kwo agweti agamúshahuliikiza ibindu. 2 Uyo mugale, anamútumira, anamúbwira: “Ewe! Maki gano, go nguyuvwiti kwo? Unyerekage umuharuuro gweꞌbindu byani! Bitaki ziziri kwo ube mwimangizi wabyo!”

3 «Uyo mwimangizi, anayibuuza, ti: “Kutagi kwo namu gira? Si nahamwitu keera andyosa mu mukolwa, ndanaki shobwiri ukukizi humba ibishimo. Noꞌkukizi genda ngahuuna-huuna, byangandeeza ishoni. 4 Aaho! Ngoli yiji kwo ngaagira, gira ikyanya ngaaba keera nayimulwa mu guno mukolwa, lyaꞌbandu bakakizi nyakiira mu nyumba zaabo!”

5 «Uyo mwimangizi, anatumira ngiisi ábâli riiri mu mwenda gwa nahamwabo, anabuuza uwa mbere: “Wehe, uli mu mwenda gweꞌzinga imwa Nahamwitu?” 6 Anamúshuvya: “Ndi mu mwenda gweꞌngungulu igana zaꞌmavuta geꞌmizehituuni.” Ulya mwimangizi, anamúbwira: “Kano karataasi, kayandisirwi kwoꞌmwenda gwawe. Aaho! Ukayabiirage, unabwatale, unayami kayandike kwo makumi gataanu.”

7 «Ha nyuma, anabuuza ugundi: “Na naawe, uli mu mwenda gwa zinga?” Na wa naye, ti: “Masuuzu kihumbi geꞌngano.” Anamúbwira: “Yabiira kano karataasi kaawe! Unayandike kwo magana galimunaana.”

8 «Irya ngengya yoꞌmwimangizi, nahamwabo anagihuuza ku bulya bweshu bwayo. Ee! Abandu beꞌkihugo, bo bali mu ba beeshu bweneene mu kukoleesa ibindu byabo boonyene kwa boonyene, ukuhima abandu boꞌmulengeerwe.

9 «Namùbwiraga, ibindu bya mu kino kihugo mukizi bikoleesa mu kugwata mwaꞌbiira! Ikyanya bigaaba keera byamalaga, mukalonge ukuyegerezibwa mu kaaya keꞌmyaka neꞌmyakuula!

10 «Umundu, iri angaba ali mwemeera ku biniini, ye mu ba mwemeera na ku bingi. Neꞌri angaba ali ngunge ku biniini, ye nali mu ba ngunge na ku bingi.

11 «Ku yukwo, iri mwangaba mutali bemeera mu kukoleesa ubugale bweꞌkihugo, nyandagi úgamùyemeera ku bugale nirizina? 12 Neꞌri mwangaba mutali bemeera ku bindu byoꞌgundi, nyandi úgamùheereza ibindu bya mwenyene?

13 «Ndaaye mukozi úshobwiri ukukolera banahamwabo babiri! Iri angakunda nahamwabo muguma, anakizi yitanga imwage, iri agashomba uwabo, noꞌkukizi múgayiriza. Bitaziziri kwo mukizi kolera Rurema, mbu munashubi kizi kolera neꞌfwaranga!»

14 Abafarisaayo, mbu bayuvwagwe byoshi byo Yesu akadeta, banatondeera ukumúshekeereza, wa yuuhu! Mukuba, boohe, bâli kuuziri ifwaranga bweneene.

15 Yesu anababwira: «Mwehe, mugweti mugayigira imbere lyaꞌbandu nga mwe mukwaniini. Kundu kwokwo, Rurema ayiji-yiji íbiri mu mitima yinyu. Ee! Ngiisi byaꞌbandu bali mu huuza, byebyo byo Rurema ali mu negura!»

16 Yesu anashubi deta kwokuno: «Abandu bâli kizi kulikira Imaaja za Musa, na íbikayandikwa naꞌbaleevi, halinde ukuhisa ku kyanya kya Yohana. Na ha nyuma, Imyazi Miija yoꞌbwami bwa Rurema, yabuli kizi menyeesibwa. Na buno, abandu booshi, bagweti bagalwira ukubuyingira mwo. 17 Kundu kwokwo, yizo maaja, bivwarusiri kwiꞌgulu neꞌkihugo byanganyerera, heꞌhilabike higuma hyazo, hyangahodoka.

18 «Umundu iri angayimula mukaage, anayange ugundi, iri asambana! Neꞌri umundu angayanga umukazi keera úkayimulwa na yiba, iri naye asambana.

19 «Hâli riiri mugale muguma, úwâli kizi yisimiisa mu bindu byage, anâli kizi yilimbiisa neꞌmirondo miija yeꞌkituku-tuku.

20 «Hâli riiri noꞌmukeni muguma, iziina lyage ye Laazaro. Uyo Laazaro, âli kizi biikwa ha mulyango gwoꞌmugale. Amagala gaage gooshi, gâli dunduusiri noꞌluhere, 21 halinde utubwa twanakizi yiji múlamba-lamba. Anâli yamiri ashalisiri. Neꞌkyanya âli kizi bona íbiri mu tibuka ku kashasha koꞌyo mugale, anakizi sara ukubilya kwo.

22 «Mbu hatamage, uyo mukeni Laazaro anafwa. Abaganda banamútwala mwiꞌgulu, ha butambi lya Hiburahimu. Uyo mugale naye anafwa, anaziikwa.

23 «Ulya mugale, iri akaba agweti agalibuukira bweneene i nakwere, analegamira, anabona Hiburahimu ku hala, na Laazaro ali ha butambi lyage. 24 Uyo mugale, anaberangira, ti: “E daata Hiburahimu, unyuvwirwe indengeerwa, maashi! Si ngweti ngalibuukira bweneene mu luno lubigi! Undumirage Laazaro, aleeze umunwe mu miiji, anagandonyeze ku lulimi, gira luhole.”

25 «Hiburahimu anamúshuvya: “E mwana wani, ukengeere kweꞌkyanya wâli ki tuuziri mu kihugo, kwo we wâli kizi longa ibiija. Noꞌyo Laazaro, ye wâli kizi longa ibibi. Haliko buno, yehe ye kola mu holeezibwa hano. Na wehe, we kolaga mu libuuka.

26 «“Neꞌngingwe, ha kati kiitu, hali namweshwe weꞌmembo! Kundu umundu angalooza ukulyoka ino munda, mbu ajabukire iyo munda, bitagaaziga. Na ábali iyo munda kwakundi, ndaaye úwangajabukira hano.”

27-28 «Uyo úshuba mugale, anashubi deta: “E daata, imwitu, iki ryagagi balumuna baani bataanu. Kwokwo, nakutendeera utumage yo Laazaro, gira agendi bakengula, batayiji kengeera bangwana hano i nakwere.” 29 Hiburahimu naye, ti: “Yabo balumuna baawe, bahiiti amagambo ágakayandikwa na Musa naꞌbaleevi. Bakizi yuvwa gaago!”

30 «Ulya úshuba mugale, ti: “Nanga, maashi daata Hiburahimu! Si iri bangahikirwa na úwazuuka mu bafwiri, lyoki bangatwikira ku byaha byabo.” 31 Hiburahimu, naye, ti: “Kutali kwo biri! Balumuna baawe, iri batangatwazagya íbikayandikwa na Musa naꞌbaleevi, batanganatwaza kiri na úwazuuka mu bafwiri!”»
