²³Mkuiduila kamulongela, “Nokugwelela kinhu chochose chondaunipule, hata lwenza lwa undewa wangu.”

²⁴Avo ija imndele kalawa kunze kumuuza mamaake, “Nikapule choni?” Na heyo kamulongela, “Pala da Yohana M'batiza.”

²⁵Ija imndele kabwela hima ha mndewa na kupula, “Nolonda unigwelele sambisambi pala da Yohana M'batiza muna ulungo!”

²⁶Mndewa kona giogio ng'hani, ila sama ya kiduilo chayaiduile na sama ya iwahenza wakalile haja hameza, hadahile kulema.

²⁷Avo kamulagiza asikali yomkomhokela yagale pala da Yohana. Asikali kachola mding'anda da kufungila wanhu, na kukanha pala da Yohana.

²⁸Abaho, kadigala mulungo na kumgwelela imndele, na heyo kamgwelela mamaake.

³¹Kukala na wanhu bwando wayagwe wokwiza na wayagwe wochola mbaka Yesu na wanahina zake hawapatile hata kipigiti cha kuja. Avo Yesu kawalongela, “Tusegeleni tuchole hanhu ha kifiso, muhumule kidogo.”

³²Avo wakwela mngalawa wasonga kusegela weiyeka, wachola hanhu ha kifiso.

³³Wanhu bwando wawona vowosegela, mkipigiti kiguhi wawatanga, avo wanhu kulawa m'viwambo vose wakimbila na magulu na walongola kuvika hanhu hayakalile yochola Yesu na wanahina zake.

³⁵Zua vidiswile, wanahina zake wamcholela wamulongela, “Zua diswa na hano hatuli twa muluwala,

³⁶walongele wanhu wachole mmigunda na m'viwambo va mmabehi giladi wakagule vinhu vakuja.”

³⁷Yesu kawedika, “Wagweleleni mwenye vinhu vakuja.” Na hewo wamuuza, “Kolonda tuchole tukawagulile mikate ya kitumetume cha munhu cha milenge minane tuwagwelele waje?”
