37 Baha hinyo atumishi ndiokpwedzakutwa matso ni tajiri wao. Nakuambirani kpweli, iye mwenye andavwala nguwo za kazi, aakaribishe na aandaze chakurya.
38 Baha hinyo atumishi ndiokpwedzakutwa tayari ni tajiri wao, hata achedza usiku wa manane au pepho za kucha.

43 Ni baha hiye mtumishi ambaye siku tajiriwe achedza, andakutwa anahenda hivyo.
44 Nami nakuambirani kpweli, tajiriwe andamuhenda muimirizi wa malize zosi.
45 Ela yuya mtumishi achiamba, ‘Tajiri wangu kedza sambi,’ naye aandze kupiga atumishi ayae, alume kpwa achetu, na kurya, kunwa na kulewa.
46 Phahi yuya tajiriwe ndiphouya siku asiyomtarajiya na saa asiyoimanya, andamtiya adabu vibaya sana, na andamuika kundi ra atu asiomkuluphira Mlungu.
47 “Mtumishi ambaye anamanya tajiriwe alondavyo, ela kadzitayarisha wala kahenda alondavyo tajiriwe, andapigbwa vibaya sana.
48 Ela mtumishi ambaye kamanya tajiriwe alondavyo, achihenda mambo ambago ni atiywe adabu, phahi, andapigbwa chidide. Chila ariyehewa chinji, andaiswa chinji, chiasi ndichohewa mutu ndicho ndichoiswa.”

51 Munaona nákpwedzahenda atu aelewane himu duniani? Aa, nakuambirani kpwedza kpwangu kundahenda atu aganyane.
52 Hangu sambi, atu a nyumba mwenga andakala na maoni tafwauti-tafwauti kunihusu; anjina andanipinga na anjina andanikubali.
53 Kpwa mfwano, baba andakala na maoni tafwauti na mwanawe wa chilume, naye mwana wa chilume andakala na maoni tafwauti na ise. Mayo andakala na maoni tafwauti na mwanawe wa chichetu, naye mwana wa chichetu andakala na maoni tafwauti na nine. Mayovyala andakala na maoni tafwauti na mkpwaza-mwanawe, naye mkpwaza-mwana andakala na maoni tafwauti na nine-vyala.”

(Mathayo 16:2–3)

55 Na mchiona phuto rinapiga kula mwakani, mkuamba, ‘Kundahenda dzoho,’ na kpweli nkuhenda dzoho.
56 Anafiki mwi! Kumbavi munaweza kumanya hali ya hewa kpwa kulola dunia na mlunguni kurivyo. Mbona tamuweza kumanya mambo ganagohendeka wakati hurio nao?”

58 Mutu achikala anakuphirika kotini, henda chadi murye suluhu mo njirani, asedze akakuguruta hata kpwa muamuli, naye muamuli akakulavya kpwa asikari, nao asikari akakutiya jela.
59 Nami nakuambirani wazi, kundatuluka hadi uriphe faini yosi tsetsetse.”
