Luka 18:26-38

²⁶Wanhu wamuhulike, wamuuza, “Avo lelo nani yonda yadahe kukomboligwa?”

²⁷Yesu kawedika, “Vinhu havidahika kwa wanhu, kwa Mulungu vodahika.”

²⁸Abaho Petulo kalonga, “Lola! Tweye tuvileka vinhu vetu vose, tukukweleleza gweye.”

²⁹Yesu kawalongela, “Nowalongela kweli, munhu yoyose yoleka kae yake hebu mwehe wake hebu ndugu zake hebu tatake na mamake hebu wanage mbuli ya Undewa wa Mulungu,

³⁰kobokela vinhu vingi ng'hani mna ikipindi kino na kobokela ugima wa mazuwa gose mna ikipindi chonda kize.”

³¹Yesu kawagala hamgwazo wanahina zake longo na wabili, kawalongela, “Tegelezeni! Tochola Yelusalemu. Kuko kila kinhu chandikigwe na watula ndagu wa Mulungu mbuli ya Mwana wa Munhu cholawilila.

³²Kwavija kogeligwa mmakono ga wanhu haweli Wayahudi, nao womzeha, womuliga, na womtemela mate.

³³Womtowa mbalati na kumkoma, lakini siku da kadatu kozilibuka.”

³⁴Lakini wanahina hawazijuwile bule mbuli azo, kwavija wakala wafisigwe na hawakijuwile kija kiyakalile yokilonga Yesu.

³⁵Yesu viyakalile behi na kuvika Yeliko, munhu imoja yakalile msuwameso kakala hamgwazo mnzila, kopula.

³⁶Munhu ayo viyahulike lunhu lwa wanhu lobita, kauza, “Kuna choni?”

³⁷Wanhu wamulongela, “Yesu wa Nazaleti kobita.”

³⁸Nayo kakemelela, “Yesu! Mwana wa Daudi! Nyonele bazi!”
