10 “Iwanu weli waghenda kune ing'anda ye Imulungu kulomba. Yumwe Mfarisayo na yungi imunu iyosola kodi.

12 Nene noleka ukuja ghamatsuwa meli mne ghamatsuwa saba, nolapfa tsaka ye ipfinu pfose pfanipata!’
13 “Lekeni ayula msola kodi kema kutali, wala ng'alolile bae kulanga. Lekeni ketowa mmambagha mwake kwa usungu, kalonga, ‘Ghwe Imulungu, umbonele libatsi, nene mtenda ghehile.’ ”
14 Nowalongela, “Ayu msola kodi koka ukaye yake akuno katogholighwa ne Imulungu kubita ayula yungi. Kwaapfila imunu wowose yetenda imwenyegho mkulu katsotendighwa mdodo, na imunu wowose yetenda imwenyegho mdodo katsotendighwa mkulu.”
15 Iwanu tsawamghalila Yesu iwana wadodo awekile ghamoko. Iwanang'ina wake hawonile apfi, wawakembela.

17 Nowalongela ghendo, imunu wowose yang'aubokela undewa we Imulungu ka imwana mdodo, ng'atsakwingila bae mne undewa awo.”

19 Yesu kamghutsa, “Mbona kwonikema ninogha? Kuduhu yanoghile lekeni Imulungu aliyeka.

21 Kamwidika, “Agho ghose nighakinda kulawa udodo wangu.”
