New Testament in a Year

Fanizo la Msamariya Wachifundo

²⁵ Nthawi ina katswiri wa malamulo anayimirira kuti ayese Yesu. Iye anati, “Aphunzitsi, ndichite chiyani kuti ndikhale ndi moyo wosatha?”

²⁶ Yesu anayankha kuti, “Mwalembedwa chiyani mʼMalamulo, ndipo iwe umawerenga zotani?”

²⁷ Iye anayankha kuti, “Uzikonda Yehova Mulungu wako ndi mtima wako wonse, ndi moyo wako wonse, ndi mphamvu zako zonse ndi nzeru zako zonse, ndi kukonda mnansi wako monga iwe mwini.”

²⁸ Yesu anayankha kuti, “Iwe wayankha bwino, chita zimenezi ndipo udzakhala ndi moyo.”

²⁹ Koma iye anafuna kudzilungamitsa yekha, ndipo anamufunsanso Yesu kuti, “Kodi mnansi wanga ndani?”

³⁰ Yesu pomuyankha anati, “Munthu wina ankatsikira ku Yeriko kuchokera ku Yerusalemu. Pa njira anavulazidwa ndi achifwamba. Anamuvula zovala zake, namumenya ndi kuthawa, namusiya ali pafupi kufa. ³¹ Wansembe ankapita pa njira yomweyo, ndipo ataona munthuyo, analambalala. ³² Chimodzimodzinso, Mlevi wina pamene anafika pa malopo ndi kumuona, analambalalanso. ³³ Koma Msamariya wina, ali pa ulendo wake, anafika pamene panali munthuyo; ndipo atamuona, anamva naye chisoni. ³⁴ Anapita panali munthu wovulalayo, nathira mafuta ndi vinyo pa zilonda zake, nʼkuzimanga. Kenaka anamukweza pa bulu wake, napita naye ku nyumba ya alendo, namusamalira. ³⁵ Mmawa mwake anatenga ndalama ziwiri zasiliva nazipereka kwa woyangʼanira nyumbayo, nati, ‘Musamalireni munthuyu, ndipo pobwera ndidzakubwezerani zonse zimene mugwiritse ntchito.’

³⁶ “Kodi ukuganiza ndi ndani mwa atatuwa, amene anali mnansi wa munthu amene anavulazidwa ndi achifwambawo?”

³⁷ Katswiri wa Malamulo uja anayankha kuti, “Amene anamuchitira chifundo.”

Yesu anamuwuza kuti, “Pita, uzikachita chimodzimodzi.”

Marita ndi Mariya

³⁸ Yesu ndi ophunzira ake akuyenda, anafika pa mudzi kumene mayi wotchedwa Marita anamulandira Iye mʼnyumba mwake. ³⁹ Mayiyu anali ndi mchemwali wake wotchedwa Mariya, amene anakhala pa mapazi a Yesu kumverera zimene Iye ankanena. ⁴⁰ Koma Marita anatanganidwa ndi zokonzekera zonse zimene zimayenera kuchitika. Iye anabwera kwa Yesu namufunsa kuti, “Ambuye, kodi simusamala kuti mchemwali wanga wandisiya kuti ndichite ntchito yonse ndekha? Muwuzeni andithandize!”

⁴¹ Ambuye anati, “Marita, Marita, ukudandaula ndi kuvutika ndi zinthu zambiri, ⁴² koma chofunika nʼchimodzi chokha. Mariya wasankha chinthu chabwino, ndipo palibe angamulande chimenechi.”
