1 Pomwe Jezu na wakupfundzira wace akhafendera kuJerusalema, pafupi na mizinda ya Betefaje na Betanya ya pafupi na phiri ra maoliva, Iye adatuma wakupfundzira wace awiri, 2 aciti: “Ndokoni m'mui omwe uli kutsogolo kwanu. Mungandopita, mukagumana kabulu kadamangiridwa, komwe kakanati kupakiridwa na munthu ali yentse. Mukakatsudzule mucikabwera nako. 3 Penu wina acikakubvundzani kuti: ‘Thangwe ranyi muli kucita bzimwebzi?’ Katawireni kuti: ‘Mbuya an'kafuna, ndipo patsogolo pace an'dzakabwezera pomwe kuno.’ ” 4 Panthawe yomweyo wakupfundzira wale adayenda, acikawona kabulu kadamangirira pafupi na msuwo, kunja mphephete mwa njira, ndipo adakatsudzula. 5 Anango omwe akhali pamwepo adawabvundza kuti: “Thangwe ranyi muli kutsudzula kabuluka?” 6 Iwo adawatawira ninga momwe Jezu adawauza. Ndipo adawaleka acitenga. 7 Adakatenga kabulu, acibwera nako kuna Jezu ndipo adatandika bzakubvala bzawo pamsana pakene, ndipo Jezu adapakira. 8 Wanthu azinji akhambatandika bzakubvala bzawo munjira, anango akhambatandika mithawi ya miti yomwe akhambatcola m'minda. 9 Wanthu omwe akhali patsogolo, na omwe akhali m'mbuyo, adakuwa kuti: “ ‘Ozana!’ Simbani omwe ali kubwera mudzina la Mbuya. 10 Simbani Umambo bwa baba wathu David, bomwe buli kubwera mudzina la mbuya. Ozana kwa Mulungu wakudzulu!”

11 Ndipo Jezu adapita muJerusalema, acikapita muNyumba ya Mulungu. Pakuti yakhali kale maulo, adanyang'ana-nyang'ana bzentse ndipo adacoka aciyenda kuBetanya pabodzi na wakupfundzira wace khumi na awiri.

12 Mangwana yace, pomwe iwo akhacoka kuBetanya, Jezu adabva njala. 13 Ndipo na patali adawona mkuyu ukhana masamba. Adayenda pafupi kuti pinango angawone nkhuyu. Ndipo adafika, alibe kuwona nkhuyu, adandokawona masamba yokha. Nakuti ikhali lini nyengo ya nkhuyu. 14 Pamwepo adawuza mutiyo kuti: “Muti iwe, kuyambira lero, cipo winango ali-yentse an'dzadya lini bzisapo bzako”. Ndipo wakupfundzira wace adabva bzimwebzo.

15 Iwo atafika kuJerusalema, Jezu adapita muNyumba ya Mulungu, aciyamba kuthotha omwe akhacita malonda m'mwemo. Adagwesa meza zakusinthira kobiri na mipando ya wanthu wakugulisa nkhangaiwa.*Wakugulisa nkhangaiwa: Wonani mafala yakulewedwa mulivu la Mat 21:12 16 Akhabvumiza lini ali-yentse agwate na pacinthalo ca Nyumba ya Mulungu adanyamula cinthu. 17 Ndipo akhawapfundzisa aciti: “Bzidanembedwa kuti: ‘Nyumba yangu in'dzacemeredwa Nyumba ya mapembero kwa madziko yentse.’ Tsono imwe mwaisandusa nkhunde ya mbabva”.

18 Pakubva bzimwebzi akulu wa azibaba wa ntsembe na adziwi wa Mtemo akhanyang'ana njira yakuti amuphe. Tsono akhabva naye mantha thangwe wanthu wentse akhadabwa nabzo bzomwe Iye akhapfundzisa.

19 Kudayamba kudoka, Jezu na wakupfundzira wace adacoka mumzinda mule.

20 Macibese, pakuyenda munjira, adawona mkuyu ule wauma na mizi kubodzi. 21 Pamwepo Pedru pakumbuka bzire, adamuuza kuti: “Mpfundzisi, onani, mkuyu omwe mudatemberera wauma”. 22 Jezu adawatawira: “Khulupirirani Mulungu. 23 Cadidi ndiri kukuwuzani kuti penu wina aniuza phiri iri kuti: ‘Coka apa, ukabzithuse kunyandza,’ angalewa na m'tima wakusaya kukayika, mucikhulupirira cadidi kuti bzomwe ali kulewabzo bzin'citika, na tenepo bzin'dzacitika ninga bzomwe walewa. 24 Na tenepo ndiri kukuwuzani kuti ciri centse comwe mungakumbire mwa kupemba, khulupirirani kuti mwatambira ndpo na tenepo mun'dzatambira. 25 Ndipo mungafuna kupemba, cakutoma mulekerere mwandzanu penu munaye cinthu. Mungaterepo, Baba wanu omwe ali Kudzulu an'dzakulekelerani bzakuipa bzanu”.

26 “Tsono penu imwe munilekerera lini andzanu, Baba wanu omwe ali Kudzulu an'dzakulekereranimbo lini bzakuipa bzanu”.

27 Adabwerera pomwe kuJerusalema. Ndipo pomwe Iye akhandobzifambira m'Nyumba ya Mulungu, akulu wa azibaba wa ntsembe, na adziwi wa Mtemo, pabodzi na akulu wa Ajuda adabwera kuna iye acimubvundza kuti: 28 “Kodi utongi wakuti mumbacite bzimwebzi mudautenga kuponi? Mbani adakupasani utongi umweyu?” 29 Jezu adawatawira: “Na inembo ndicikupasani mbvundzo ubodzi. Munganditawira, ndipo nin'kuwuzani komwe ndidatenga utongi wakuti nimbacite bzimwebzi. 30 Kodi ubatizi bwa Juwau bukhali bwa kudzaulu ayai bwa wanthu? Nditawireni”. 31 Ndipo iwo adabvundzana acimbati: “Tingalewa adazitenga kwa Mulungu, umweyu anirewa kuti: ‘Kodi thangwe ranyi tsono mulibe kum'khulupirira?’ 32 Tsono tingalewa kuti adazitenga kwa wanthu”. Iwo akhagopa wanthu, pakuti wanthu wentse akhatawirira kuti Juwau akhali mpolofita. 33 Na tenepo adamutawira Jezu kuti: “Tin'dziwa lini”. Iye adawatawira kuti: “Na inembo nin'kuwuzani lini komwe ndidautenga utongi wakuti nimbacite bzimwebzi”.
