Mateyu 21:33-46
Fanizo la Alimi
“Tamverani fanizo lina: Panali mwini munda amene anadzala mphesa. Anamanga mpanda kuzungulira mundawo, nakumba moponderamo mphesa ndipo anamanga nsanja. Kenaka anabwereketsa munda wamphesawo kwa alimi ena napita pa ulendo. Pamene nthawi yokolola inakwana, anatumiza antchito ake kwa matenanti aja kuti akatenge zipatso zake.
“Alimi aja anagwira antchito ake; namenya mmodzi, napha wina, ndi kumuponya miyala wachitatuyo. Kenaka anatumiza antchito ena oposa oyambawo ndipo matenantiwo anawachitira chimodzimodzi. Pomalizira anatumiza mwana wake. Anati adzamuchitira ulemu mwana wanga.
“Koma alimiwo ataona mwanayo anati kwa wina ndi mnzake, ‘Uyu ndiye olowa mʼmalo mwa abambo ake. Tiyeni timuphe ndipo titenge cholowa chake.’ Pamenepo anamutenga namuponyera kunja kwa munda wamphesa namupha.
“Tsono akabwera mwini munda wamphesa adzachita nawo chiyani matenantiwo?”
Iwo anayankha kuti, “Adzawapha moyipa alimi oyipawo ndipo adzabwereketsa mundawo kwa alimi ena amene adzamupatsa gawo lake la mbewu pa nthawi yokolola.”
Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Kodi simunawerenge mʼmalemba kuti:
“ ‘Mwala umene omanga nyumba anawukana,
womwewo wasanduka mwala wofunika kwambiri wa pa ngodya.
Ambuye wachita izi,
ndipo ndi zodabwitsa mʼmaso mwathu.’
“Nʼchifukwa chake ndi kukuwuzani kuti ufumu wa Mulungu udzalandidwa kwa inu ndipo udzapatsidwa kwa anthu amene adzabereka chipatso chake. Amene agwa pa mwalawu adzadukaduka, ndipo amene udzamugwere udzamuthudzula.”
Akulu a ansembe ndi Afarisi atamva mafanizo a Yesu, anadziwa kuti ankanena iwo. Pamenepo anafuna njira yoti amugwirire, koma anaopa gulu la anthu chifukwa anthu onse ankakhulupirira kuti Iye anali mneneri.

Fanizo la Phwando la Ukwati
Yesu anayankhula nawonso mʼmafanizo, nati, “Ufumu wakumwamba uli ngati mfumu imene inakonzera phwando mwana wake wamwamuna. Anatumiza antchito ake kwa amene anayitanidwa kuphwando koma anakana kubwera.
“Kenaka anatumiza antchito ena nati, ‘Awuzeni oyitanidwa kuti phwando lakonzedwa: ndapha ngʼombe yayimuna ndi nyama zina zonenepa ndipo zonse zakonzedwa. Bwerani ku phwando laukwati.’
“Koma iwo sanalabadire ndipo anachoka; wina anapita ku munda wake ndi wina ku malonda ake. Ndipo otsalawo anagwira antchito ake, nawazunza ndi kuwapha. Mfumu inakwiya. Inatumiza asilikali ake ndipo anawononga opha anzawowo ndi kutentha mzinda wawo.
“Pamenepo anati kwa antchito ake, ‘Phwando laukwati lakonzedwa, koma amene ndinawayitana sanali oyenera. Pitani ku mphambano za misewu ndipo kayitaneni aliyense amene mukamupeze kuti abwere ku phwando.’ Pamenepo antchitowo anapita ku misewu nakasonkhanitsa anthu onse amene anakawapeza, abwino ndi oyipa omwe, ndipo nyumba ya madyerero inadzaza ndi oyitanidwa.
“Koma pamene mfumu inabwera kudzaona oyitanidwawo, inaona munthu amene sanavale zovala zaukwati. Inamufunsa kuti, ‘Bwenzi walowa bwanji muno wopanda zovala zaukwati?’ Munthuyo anakhala chete.
“Pamenepo mfumuyo inawuza otumikira kuti, ‘Mʼmangeni manja ndi miyendo, ndipo muponyeni kunja, ku mdima kumene kudzakhale kulira ndi kukuta mano.’
“Popeza oyitanidwa ndi ambiri koma osankhidwa ndi ochepa.”
