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!’ ”

²⁸Yesu viyamambukize kulonga avo, kawalongolela kuchola Yelusalemu.

²⁹Viyakalile behi na kuvika Betifage na Betania, habehi na Lugongo lwa Mizeituni, kawatuma wanahina zake wabili,

³⁰kawalongela, “Gendeni kuna ikijiji kili kuulongozi wenu. Mwahengila, momvika mwana mhunda kafungigwa, nayo yang'hali hanakweligwa na munhu. Mfunguleni mumgale hano.

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.”

³⁵Wamgala imwana mhunda kwa Yesu. Abaho watandika viwalo vao mumgongo wa imwana mhunda, na wamtaza Yesu kukwela.

³⁶Yesu viyakalile kochola, wanhu wanzanza viwalo vao mnzila.

³⁷Viyakalile behi na kuvika Yelusalemu, hanhu hali na mtelemuko wa Lugongo lwa Mizeituni, lunhu mkulu lwa wanahina zake lusonga kudeng'helela na kumgwaa nhogolwa Mulungu kwa sauti ng'hulu mbuli ya unzonza wauwonile.
