29Abaho Lawi kamtendela Yesu nyimwili nyimwili ng'hulu ukayake. Vivija kukala na wabokela kodi wengi na wanhu wayagwe wagonekigwe.
30Mafalisayo na wafundiza Malagizo ga Musa wayagwe wakalile aho wawauza wanahina wa Yesu, “Habali moja na kung'wa hamoja na wabokela kodi na wanhu wotenda nzambi?”
31Yesu kawedika, “Wanhu wagima hawalonda mganga, lakini waja weli watamu womulonda mganga.
32Sizile kuwakema wanhu wogesa wanoga, lakini niza kuwakema waja wene nzambi waleke.”
33Wanhu wayagwe wamulongela Yesu, “Wanahina wa Yohana Mbatizaji wofunga kuja miyanza mingi na kumpula Mulungu, na wanahina wa Mafalisayo wotenda vivo, lakini wanahina zako woja na kung'wa.”
34Yesu kawedika, “Vino mogesa wanhu wagonekigwe kuna idizengele wodaha kufunga kuja kipindi munhu yosola kahamoja nao? Havidahika bule!
35Lakini kipindi chokwiza, munhu yosola vonda yasegezigwe kumwao, baho wofunga kuja.”
36Abaho Yesu kawalongela lusimo luno, “Kuduhu munhu yokanha kilaka mkiwalo cha sambi na kukika mkiwalo cha umwaka. Yahatenda avo, kokinanga kija kiwalo cha sambi, na kilaka acho honda kiigale na kiwalo cha umwaka.
