42Mukani, mbatiyende. Onani wa kundipereka kwa nyamadulanthaka ule, wafika.”
43Jezu akanati kumaliza kulewa-lewa, nthawe yomweyo adafika Judasi, m'bodzi wa wakupfundzira khumi na awiri wale. Adabwera na mthithi wa wanthu akhadanyamula bzisenga na mabonga. Wanthuwo adatumidwa na akulu wa azibaba wa ntsembe na apfundzisi wa Mtemo na akulu wa Ajuda.

45Pomwe Judasi adabwera, adandofika pana Jezu adati, “Misiri!” Ndipo adamumpsompsona.
46Ndipo wanthu wale adam'phata Jezu wacimmanga.
47Tsono mbodzi mwa wakupfundzira omwe akhali naye pamwepo, adasolola cisenga cace, adapweteka wabasa wa mkulu wa azibaba wa ntsembe, ndipo adam'gwata khutu.
