“Ufumu wakumwamba uli ngati mwini munda amene anapita mmawa kukalemba anthu aganyu kuti akagwire ntchito mʼmunda wake wa mpesa. 
Anagwirizana kuwalipira dinari monga malipiro a tsiku limodzi ndipo anawatumiza mʼmunda wake wamphesa. 
“Nthawi 9 koloko mmawa, anatulukanso naona ena atayimirira pa msika akungokhala. 
Anawawuza kuti, ‘Inunso pitani mukagwire ntchito mʼmunda wanga wa mpesa, ndipo ndidzakulipirani malipiro oyenera.’ 
Ndipo anapita. “Anatulukanso nthawi ya 12 koloko masana, ndi nthawi ya 3 koloko masananso nachita chimodzimodzi. 
Nthawi ya 5 koloko madzulo anatulukanso ndipo anapeza enanso atangoyimirira. Anawafunsa kuti, ‘Chifukwa chiyani mukungoyimirira pano tsiku lonse osagwira ntchito?’ 
“Iwo anayankha kuti, ‘Chifukwa palibe munthu amene watilemba ganyu.’ “Iye anawawuza kuti, ‘Inunso pitani mukagwire ntchito mʼmunda wanga wa mpesa.’ 
“Ndipo pofika madzulo, mwini munda wamphesa anayitana kapitawo wake nati, ‘Itana antchito ndipo uwapatse malipiro awo, kuyambira omalizira aja mpaka oyamba.’ 
“Antchito amene anawalemba ganyu pa 5 koloko masana anafika ndipo aliyense analandira dinari. 
Ndipo atabwera kwa amene analembedwa poyamba anayembekezera kuti alandira zambiri. Koma aliyense wa iwo analandira dinari. 
Atalandira, anayamba kuderera kwa mwini mundayo. 
Iwo anati, ‘Anthu amene munawalemba pomalizira agwira ntchito ora limodzi, ndipo mwawafananitsa ndi ife amene tathyoka nayo ntchito ndi kutentha kwa dzuwa tsiku lonse.’ 
“Koma iye anamuyankha mmodzi wa iwo nati, ‘Bwenzi, ine sikuti sindinachite chilungamo. Kodi sunavomereze kuti ugwira ntchito ndi kulandira dinari? 
Tenga malipiro ako pita. Ndikufuna kumupatsa munthu amene ndinamulemba pomaliza mofanana ndi mmene ndakupatsira iwe. 
Kodi ndilibe ufulu wochita zimene ndikufuna ndi ndalama zanga? Kapena ukuyipidwa chifukwa ndine wopereka mowolowamanja?’ 
“Momwemo omalizira adzakhala oyamba ndipo oyamba adzakhala omalizira.” 
Tsopano pamene Yesu ankapita ku Yerusalemu, anatengera pambali ophunzira ake khumi ndi awiriwo nati kwa iwo, 
“Tikupita ku Yerusalemu, ndipo Mwana wa Munthu adzaperekedwa kwa akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo. Iwo adzamuweruza kuti aphedwe, 
ndipo adzamupereka kwa anthu a mitundu ina kuti amunyoze ndi kumukwapula ndi kumupachika. Pa tsiku lachitatu adzaukitsidwa!” 
Amayi a ana a Zebedayo anabwera ndi ana ake kwa Yesu, nagwada pansi namupempha Iye. 
Yesu anawafunsa kuti, “Mukufuna chiyani?” Amayiwo anati, “Lolani kuti ana anga awiriwa adzakhale mmodzi ku dzanja lanu lamanja ndi wina ku dzanja lanu lamazere mu ufumu wanu.” 
Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Simukudziwa chimene mukupempha. Kodi mungathe kumwera chikho chimene ndidzamwera Ine?” Iwo anayankha nati, “Inde tingathe.” 
Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Zoonadi mudzamwera chikho changa, koma kuti mudzakhale ku dzanja langa lamanja kapena lamazere si kwa Ine kupereka. Malo awa ndi a iwo amene anakonzeredweratu ndi Atate anga.” 
Ophunzira khumi aja, anawapsera mtima abale awiriwo. 
Yesu anawayitana onse pamodzi nati, “Mukudziwa kuti olamulira a mitundu ina ali ndi mphamvu pa iwo, ndipo akuluakulu awo amawalamulira. 
Siziyenera kutero ndi inu. Mʼmalo mwake, aliyense amene akufuna kukhala wamkulu pakati panu akhale wotumikira wanu. 
Ndipo aliyense amene akufuna kukhala woyamba akhale kapolo wanu. 
Momwenso Mwana wa Munthu sanabwere kudzatumikiridwa, koma kudzatumikira, ndi kupereka moyo wake kukhala dipo la anthu ambiri.” 
Pamene Yesu ndi ophunzira ake ankachoka ku Yeriko, gulu lalikulu la anthu linawatsata. 
Amuna awiri osaona anakhala mʼmbali mwa msewu, ndipo pamene anamva kuti Yesu akudutsa anafuwula kuti, “Ambuye, Mwana wa Davide, tichitireni chifundo!” 
Gulu la anthulo linawadzudzula iwo ndi kuwawuza kuti akhale chete, koma anafuwulitsabe kuti, “Ambuye, Mwana wa Davide, tichitireni chifundo!” 
Yesu anayima ndi kuwayitana ndipo anawafunsa kuti, “Mukufuna ndikuchitireni chiyani?” 
Anamuyankha nati, “Ambuye, tikufuna tione!” 
Yesu anamva nawo chifundo ndipo anakhudza maso awo. Nthawi yomweyo anaona namutsata Iye.
