Luka 19:9-20

⁹Yesu kamulongela, “Lelo ukombozi uvika kwa wanhu wa lubuga luno, kwavija munhu ino nayo kolawa mulukolo lwa Abulahamu.

¹⁰Kwavija Mwana wa Munhu keza kuwazahila na kuwakombola waja wapotele.”

¹¹Wanhu viwakalile wotegeleza gago, Yesu kagendelela kuwalongela lusimo. Baho kakala mmabehi na Yelusalemu, nao wagesa kamba Undewa wa Mulungu wa mmabehi kulawilila.

¹²Avo kawalongela, “Kukala na munhu imoja wa lukolo lwa kindewa yafungile mwanza kuchola isi ya kutali yakatendigwe mndewa, abaho yabwele ukayake.

¹³Avo yang'hali hanasegela, kawakema wasang'hanaji zake longo, kila imoja kamgwaa sente sawa, abaho kawalongela, ‘Tendeni biashala mbaka vondambwele.’

¹⁴Lakini wanhu wa isi yake wakala wamwihile. Avo wawatuma wasenga wagende kwa wanhu waja wakalonge, ‘Hatumulonda munhu ino yawe mndewa wetu.’

¹⁵“Munhu ija kaupata undewa, kabwela ukayake. Baho kawalagiza wasang'hanaji zake yawagwelele sente wachole kumwake yapate kujuwa kija kiwapatile.

¹⁶Msang'hanaji wa ichanduso keza, kalonga, ‘Go mkulu, sente zako ziunigwelele zilela miyanza longo.’

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.
