Luka 9:38-49

³⁸Munhu imoja mna ulunhu kaguta, “Mfundiza! Nokupula undolele mwanangu, mwanangu yeli yaiyeka!

³⁹Kinyamkela komkumba na komtenda yagute nyangi, komgela kisango kuno kolawa miholovu mumulomo. Kogendelela kumulumiza na hamuleka hima bule!

⁴⁰Niwapula wanahina zako wamulave kinyamkela ayo, lakini hawadahile bule.”

⁴¹Yesu kawalongela, “Mweye lukolo luliduhu kutamanila na lwagile! Nokala na mweye mbaka lini? Nogela kitumbe kumgongo mbaka lini?” Abaho kamulongela munhu ija, “Mgale hano mwanago.”

⁴²Mbwanga ija viyakalile komwizila Yesu, kinyamkela kambwanha hasi na kamgela kisango. Lakini Yesu kamkomhokela kinyamkela, kamuhonya mbwanga ija, na kamgwaa tatake.

⁴³Wanhu wose wakanganya kwa udahi mkulu wa Mulungu. Wanhu viwakalile wang'hali wokanganya mbuli ziyatendile Yesu, Yesu kawalongela wanahina zake,

⁴⁴“Sekemuisemwe mbuli inilonda kuwalongela! Mwana wa Munhu kogeligwa mmakono ga wanhu.”

⁴⁵Lakini wanahina zake hawajuwile fambulo da ulonzi awo. Ukala ufisigwe kumwao avo hawadahile kuujuwa, nao wadumba kumuuza Yesu.

⁴⁶Wanahina wa Yesu wasonga kuibamilila wao kwa wao nani yeli munhu mkulu viweli.

⁴⁷Yesu kakijuwa kiwakalile wogesa, kamsola mwana mdodo, kamwika behi nayo.

⁴⁸Abaho kawalongela wanahina zake, “Munhu yoyose yombokela mwana ino kwa twaga jangu, konibokela niye, na munhu yoyose yombokela niye, kombokela ija yanhumile. Kwavija munhu yeli mdodo vimwili, ayo munhu mkulu kubanza wose.”

⁴⁹Yohana kamulongela Yesu, “Mndewa, tumona munhu kolava vinyamkela kwa twaga jako. Tumgomesa kwavija halawa mkibumbila chetu.”
