30 Pamene iye anali kukamba zimenezi, anthu ambili anamukhulupilila.
31 Ndiyeno Yesu anapitiliza kuuza Ayuda amene anamukhulupililawo kuti: “Mukapitiliza kusunga mawu anga, ndiye kuti ndinudi ophunzila anga.
32 Mudzadziwa coonadi, ndipo coonadico cidzakumasulani.”
33 Iwo anamuyankha kuti: “Ife ndife ana a Abulahamu, ndipo sitinakhalepo akapolo a munthu aliyense. Ndiye n’cifukwa ciyani ukunena kuti, ‘Mudzamasulidwa’?”
34 Yesu anawayankha kuti: “Ndithudi ndikukuuzani, aliyense amene amacita chimo ndi kapolo wa chimo.
35 Ndiponso kapolo sakhala m’nyumba ya mbuye wake kwamuyaya, koma mwana ndi amene amakhalamo kwamuyaya.
36 Conco ngati Mwana wakumasulani, mudzakhaladi omasuka.
37 Ndidziwa kuti ndinu ana a Abulahamu. Koma mukufuna kundipha cifukwa mawu anga alibe malo mwa inu.

40 Koma tsopano mufuna kundipha, ine munthu amene ndakuuzani coonadi cimene ndinamva kwa Mulungu. Abulahamu sanacite zimenezi.
41 Inu mukucita nchito za atate wanu.” Iwo anamuuza kuti: “Ife sitinabadwe kucokela mu ciwelewele,* koma tili ndi Atate mmodzi, Mulungu.”
42 Yesu anawauza kuti: “Mulungu akanakhala Atate wanu, mukanandikonda, cifukwa ine ndinabwela kucokela kwa Mulungu ndipo ndili pano. Sindinabwele mwakufuna kwanga, koma Iyeyo ndiye anandituma.
43 N’cifukwa ciyani simukumvetsa zimene ndikukamba? N’cifukwa cakuti simufuna kumvetsela mawu anga.
44 Inu ndinu ocokela kwa atate wanu Mdyelekezi, ndipo mumafuna kucita zokhumba za atate wanuyo. Ameneyo ndi wakupha kucokela paciyambi, ndipo sanapitilize kukhala m’coonadi, cifukwa mwa iye mulibe coonadi. Iye akamakamba bodza amaonetsa mmene alili cifukwa ndi wabodza, komanso ndiye tate wake wa bodza.

48 Ayudawo anamuyankha kuti: “Kodi tikunama ponena kuti, ‘Ndiwe Msamariya ndipo uli ndi ciwanda’?”
49 Yesu anayankha kuti: “Ine ndilibe ciwanda, koma ndimalemekeza Atate, ndipo inu mukundinyoza.
50 Koma ine sindidzifunila ulemelelo ayi, ndi Mulungu amene amafuna kuti ndilemekezedwe, ndipo Iye ndi woweluza.
51 Ndithudi ndikukuuzani, ngati munthu amasunga mawu anga, sadzaona imfa mpang’ono pomwe.”
52 Ayudawo anamuuza kuti: “Tsopano tadziwa kuti ulidi ndi ciwanda. Abulahamu anamwalila, nawonso aneneli anamwalila, koma iwe ukukamba kuti, ‘Ngati munthu amasunga mawu anga sadzaona imfa ngakhale pang’ono.’
53 Kodi iwe ndiwe wamkulu kuposa Abulahamu atate wathu, amene anamwalila? Aneneli nawonso anamwalila. Ndiye umadziona kuti ndiwe ndani?”
54 Yesu anayankha kuti: “Ndikadzifunila ndekha ulemelelo, ulemelelo wangawo ndi wopanda pake. Atate wanga ndiye amandipatsa ulemelelo, amene inu mumati ndi Mulungu wanu.
55 Mpaka pano inu simumudziwa, koma ine ndimudziwa. Ndipo ngati ndinganene kuti sindimudziwa, ndiye kuti ndingakhale wabodza ngati inu. Koma ndimudziwa ndithu, ndipo ndimasunga mawu ake.
56 Abulahamu atate wanu anakondwela kwambili cifukwa coyembekezela kuona tsiku langa, ndipo ataliona anasangalala.”
57 Kenako Ayudawo anamuuza kuti: “Iwe ukalibe kukwanitsa ngakhale zaka 50, koma ukuti unamuona Abulahamu?”
58 Yesu anawauza kuti: “Ndithudi ndikukuuzani, Abulahamu asanakhaleko n’komwe ine ndinaliko kale.”
59 Conco iwo anatola miyala kuti amuponye nayo, koma Yesu anabisala, kenako anatuluka m’kacisi.
