¹Rala-na ha'eo, wori' topesingara' paja' pai' tau ntani' -na to ra'uli' ntodea dada'a kehi-ra rata mpo'epe lolita Yesus.

¹Zvino kwakaswedera kwaari vateresi nevatadzi vose, kuzomunzwa.

²To Parisi pai' guru agama mporuge' -i, ra'uli': "Ii, tau toe-idi mai mpobale-raka topojeko', pai' ngkoni' dohe-rae."

²VaFarisi nevanyori vakatsutsumwa vachiti: Uyu unogamuchira vatadzi, achidya navo.

³Toe pai' Yesus mpololitai-ra hante lolita rapa' toi.

³Zvino wakavaudza mufananidzo uyu, achiti:

⁴Na'uli': "Rapa' -na ria doo-ta to ria-ki bima-na ha'atu ma'a. Ane moronto hama'a, napa to nababehi? Bate napalahii bima-na to sio mpulu' sio hi papada, pai' -i hilou mpali' bima-na to moronto duu' -na narua'.

⁴Ndeupi munhu kwamuri ungati ane makwai zana, kana arashikirwa nerimwe rawo, usingasii makumi mapfumbamwe nemapfumbamwe murenje, akatevera rakarashika kusvikira ariwana?

⁵Ane narua' -pi, uma mowo kagoe' -na. Ngkai kagoe' -na napololopongko' bima-na toei, pai' nakeni nculii' hilou hi tomi-na.

⁵Uye kana ariwana, unoriisa pamafudzi ake achifara.

⁶Oti toe, pai' -i mpokio' bale-na pai' tongki-na, na'uli' -raka: `Mai-mokoi goe' dohe-ku. Apa' bima-ku to moronto kurua' nculii' -imi.'

⁶Zvino kana asvika kumusha, unodana pamwe shamwari nevavakidzani, achiti kwavari: Farai neni, nekuti ndawana gwai rangu rakange rarashika.

⁷Wae wo'o, ane hadua topojeko' medea ngkai jeko' -na, meliu kagoe' -ra ihi' suruga mpokagoe' -i ngkai kagoe' -ra mpokagoe' sio mpulu' sio tauna to monoa' po'ingku-ra, to uma-ra-rana mingki' medea.

⁷Ndinoti kwamuri: Saizvozvo mufaro uchava kudenga pamusoro pemutadzi umwe unotendeuka, kupfuura pamusoro pevakarurama makumi mapfumbamwe nevapfumbamwe, vasingatsvaki kutendeuka.

⁸"Rapa' -na ria hadua tobine to ria-ki hampulu' mpepa' doi pera' -na. Ane moronto hampepa', napa to nababehi? Mposuwe palita-i pai' -i mpehaii tomi-na, pai' napali' hiapa-apa karontoa-na, duu' -na narua'.

⁸Kana ndeupi mukadzi une makobiri gumi, kana arashikirwa nekobiri rimwe, usingatungidzi mwenje, akatsvaira imba, akatsvakisisa kusvikira ariwana?

⁹Wae kanarua' -na, nakio' -ramo bale-na pai' tongki-na, na'uli' -raka: `Mai-mokoi goe' dohe-ku. Apa' kurua' nculii' -mi doi-ku to moronto.'

⁹Uye kana ariwana, unodana shamwari nevavakidzani pamwe, achiti: Farai neni, nekuti ndawana kobiri randanga ndarashikirwa naro.

¹⁰Wae wo'o-ra mala'eka Alata'ala mpokagoe' hadua tauna topojeko' to medea ngkai jeko' -na."

¹⁰Saizvozvo, ndinokutaurirai, kuti mufaro uripo pamberi pevatumwa vaMwari pamusoro pemutadzi umwe unotendeuka.

¹¹Na'uli' tena Yesus: "Ria hadua tuama to ria-ki rodua ana' -na tomane.

¹¹Zvino wakati: Umwe munhu waiva ane vanakomana vaviri;

¹²Tokahudu mpo'uli' -ki tuama-ra: `Mama, wai' ami' -ama-kuna bagia-ku ngkai rewa-nu.' Jadi', nabagi mpu'u-mi rewa-na hi ana' -na to rodua toera.

¹²muduku wavo ndokuti kuna baba: Baba, ndipei mugove wenhumbi wakanangana neni. Akavagovera nhumbi dzake.

¹³"Ba hangkuja eo olo' -na ngkai ree, ana' -na tokahudu mpobalu' bagia-na, pai' -i hilou hi ngata to molaa. Hi ria-i mpo'oti mara doi-na hante kehi to uma tumotoa.

¹³Pasina kupfuura mazuva mazhinji, mwanakomana muduku wakaunganidza zvose pamwe, akasimuka akaenda kunyika iri kure; uye akaparadza ikoko nhaka yake, achirarama neunzenza.

¹⁴Ka'oti doi-na omea, ria-mi oro' hi ngata toe, duu' -na mpe'ahii' -mi tuwu' -na.

¹⁴Zvino wakati aparadza zvose, kwakauya nzara huru panyika iyo, iye akatanga kushaiwa.

¹⁵Hilou-imi hi pue' ngata doko' ngkoni' gaji'. Pue' ngata toei mpohubui-i mpodoo wawu-na.

¹⁵Zvino wakaenda, akanozvibatanidza neumwe wezvizvarwa zvenyika iyo; akamutumira kuminda yake kunofudza nguruve.

¹⁶Ngkai kamo'oro' -na, mehina-imi-hawo doko' mpokoni' kano wawu. Hiaa' uma hema to mpowai' -i pongkoni'.

¹⁶Wakange achishuva kugutsa dumbu rake nemateko nguruve adzaidya; asi hakuna munhu waimupa.

¹⁷"Ka'omea-na, mokanono-imi, na'uli': `Topobago hi tomi tuama-kule, melabi lia pongkoni' -ra. Hiaa' aku' -mi-kuna hi rehe'i, neo' mate modupu' -ama.

¹⁷Zvino wakati apengenuka, akati: Varikichi vazhinji sei vababa vangu vane zvingwa zvakawandisisa, asi ini ndofa nenzara.

¹⁸Wae-pi, nculii' -ama hilou hi tuama-ku, ku'uli' -damo-ki: Mama, masala' -ama hi Pue' Ala pai' hi Mama wo'o.

¹⁸Ndichasimuka ndiende kuna baba vangu, ndigoti kwavari: Baba, ndakatadzira kudenga, nepamberi penyu;

¹⁹Uma-apa natao nukio' ana' -nu Mama. Agina nuponcawa batua-nua-damo.'

¹⁹uye handichafaniri kunzi mwanakomana wenyu; ndiitei seumwe wevarikichi venyu.

²⁰Kame'ongko' -nami hilou hi tuama-na. "Molaa-i-pidi ngkai tomi-na, pehilo-mi tuama-na. Ngkai kama'ahi' -na, pokeno-nami hilou mpohirua' -ki ana' -na, nakupui pai' na'eki.

²⁰Akasimuka akaenda kuna baba vake. Asi wakati achiri kure, baba vake vakamuona, vakanzwa tsitsi, vakamhanya ndokuwira pahuro pake, nekumutsvoda.

²¹Na'uli' -mi to ana': `Mama, masala' -ama hi Pue' Ala pai' hi Mama wo'o. Uma-apa natao nukio' ana' -nu....'

²¹Zvino mwanakomana akati kwavari: Baba, ndakatadzira kudenga nepamberi penyu, uye handichafaniri kunzi mwanakomana wenyu.

²²"Aga tuama-na mpokio' topobago-na, pai' na'uli' -raka: `Pesahui, ala' pohea to lompe' lia, pai' heai-i. Uncoi' karawe-na hante hinci, pai' sapatui' wo'o-i.

²²Asi baba vakati kuvaranda vavo: Budai nenguvo yakanakisisa mumupfekedze, muise mhete paruoko rwake, nemanyatera patsoka;

²³Oti toe, hilou-koi mpohoko' ana' japi to morudu' pai' nisumale'. Ngkoni' -ta goe' -goe'!

²³muuye nemhuru yakakodzwa, mubaye, uye ngatidye tifare;

²⁴Apa' ana' -ku tohe'ii, ma'ala-mi ta'uli' mate-imi, aga tuwu' nculii' -imi. Moronto-i, aga kurua' nculii' -imi.' Kamosusa' -rami.

²⁴nekuti uyu mwanakomana wangu wakange afa, zvino wararamazve; wakange arashika, asi wawanikwa; zvino vakatanga kufara.

²⁵"Nto'u toe, lingku' ana' -na to ulumua' hi bonea. Ponculi' -na ngkai bonea, mohu' -mi hi tomi, na'epe-hawo to molalowe pai' moni karamea.

²⁵Zvino mwanakomana wake mukuru wakange ari kumunda; zvino wakati achisvika, oswedera paimba, akanzwa mumhanzi nekutamba.

²⁶Nakio' hadua topobago-ra, napompekunei' ba moapa-ra hi tomi.

²⁶Zvino wakadanira kwaari umwe wevaranda, akabvunza kuti izvi zvinorevei.

²⁷Na'uli' topobago toei: `Tu'ai-nule, rata nculii' -imi-hawo! Tuama-nu mpehubui mposumale' ana' japi to morudu', apa' ana' -na to moronto narua' nculii' -mi hante kalompea' -na.'

²⁷Zvino akati kwaari: Munin'ina wako wasvika; zvino baba vako vabaya mhuru yakakodzwa, nekuti vamugamuchira akagwinya.

²⁸"Kamoroe-nami ana' to ulumua' toei, oja' -i mesua' hi rala tomi. Tuama-na hilou mpobawai-i mesua'.

²⁸Asi wakatsamwa, akasada kupinda; naizvozvo baba vake vakabuda, vakamukumbirisa.

²⁹Tapi' na'uli' to ana': `Mompae-mpae-ama mobago huduwuku-ku mpobago-koko Mama. Uma-kuna hangkania-a mposapuaka hawa' -nu. Hiaa' ntahawe' hama'a kebe' -kuwo, ko'ia-kuna ria nuwai' -a bona kubabehi-kuwo kagoea' hante bale-ku.

²⁹Asi iye wakapindura akati kuna baba: Tarirai, makore mazhinji ndakakubatirai, handina kutongodarika murairo wenyu, asi hamuna kutongondipa mbudzana, kuti ndifare neshamwari dzangu.

³⁰Hiaa' ana' -nu tetui to mpe'oti hinyai' rewa-nu hante tobine to ele', wae kanculii' -na nusumale' lau-ki japi to morudu'!'

³⁰Asi mangoti mwanakomana wenyu uyu wakaparadza nhumbi dzenyu nezvifeve achisvika, mamubaira mhuru yakakodzwa.

³¹"Na'uli' tuama-na: `Ana', iko-le tida dohe-ku oa' -ko-kona. Ihi' tomi-kule, iko wo'o pue' -na.

³¹Vakati kwaari: Mwana, iwe uneni nguva dzose, uye zvose zvangu ndezvako.

³²Hiaa' toto-na lia-ta mosusa' goe' -goe', apa' tu'ai-nu to mate-imi-hana, tuwu' nculii' -imi. Moronto-imi, tapi' tarua' nculii' -imi-hawo.'"

³²Asi kwaifanira kuti kupemberwe nekufarwa, nekuti munin'ina wako uyu wakange afa, wararamazve; wakange arashika, wawanikwa.
