¹⁷Kamulongela, ‘Kutenda goya msang'hanaji unogile! Kwavija kutenda vinogile kulolesa mna ivinhu vidodo, nokutenda uwe munhu mkulu wa mabuga longo.’

¹⁸Msang'hanaji wa kabili keza, kalonga, ‘Go mkulu, sente zako ziunigwelele zilela miyanza mitano.’

¹⁹Nayo kamulongela, ‘Kokuwa munhu mkulu wa mabuga matano.’

²⁰“Msang'hanaji iyagwe keza, kalonga, ‘Go mkulu, sola sente zako. Nikala nizifungile goya mkikumbi.

²¹Nikudumba, kwavija kuna gahigahi. Kosola vinhu va wayago kwa uvizi na kosenga vija huvihandile.’

²²Mkulu ija kamulongela, ‘Gweye kwa msang'hanaji yehile! Nokutagusa kwa mbuli zako mwenyego! Kunijuwa nina gahigahi, nisolaga vinhu va wayangu na kusenga vija sivihandile.

²³Habali huzikile sente zangu kwa wanhu wokwika sente muladi vimbwelile nyambulile zongezeke?’

²⁴“Abaho kawalongela waja wemile aho, ‘Mbokeni ayo zisente, mumgwelele msang'hanaji ija yapatile sente miyanza longo ya zija ziyagweleligwe.’

²⁵Lakini wao wamulongela, ‘Go mkulu, lakini heyo kanazo sente miyanza longo!’

²⁶Nayo kawedika, ‘Munhu yeli na kinhu kokongezelwa, lakini ija yeliduhu kinhu, kobokigwa hata kija kidodo kiyelinacho.

²⁷Na sambi, waja wanihile, wondema niye niwe mndewa wao, wagaleni hano, muwakome bahano mgameso gangu!’ ”

³¹Munhu yoyose yahawauza habali momfungula, mulongeleni, ‘Mndewa komulonda.’ ”

³²Wanahina waja wachola, wamvika kamba vija Yesu viyawalongele.

³³Viwakalile womfungula imwana mhunda, wenyego wawauza, “Habali momfungula?”

³⁴Nao wawedika, “Mndewa komulonda.”
