SANG'HANO 13:22-28

²²Viyamsegeze Sauli, kamtenda Daudi yawe mndewa wao. Mulungu kalonga vino yomulonga Daudi, ‘Nimpata Daudi mwana wa Yese, munhu inimnogele, yondayagatende gose ganimulonda heyo yagatende.’

²³Kulawa mulukolo lwa munhu ino Mulungu kamgala Mkombola, Yesu, muisi ya Islaeli, kamba viyekile kilagano.

²⁴Yesu viyakalile hanasonga sang'hano yake, Yohana kaupeta usenga wa kuleka vilozo na kubatizigwa mwa wanhu wose wa Islaeli.

²⁵Yohana viyamambukize sang'hano yake, kalonga, ‘Mweye mokwagiza nie iyo munhu yalihi? Nie siyo munhu ija imumtamanila kwiza, ila heyo kokwiza hachugu changu, ayo ng'hwabasa zake nie silondigwa kuzifungula.’

²⁶“Ndugu zangu, wana wa Ablahamu, na mweye wanhu mumtambikila Mulungu mulekile kuwa Wayahudi, usenga uno wa ukombola tugaliligwa tweye!

²⁷Wanhu wa Yelusalemu na wakulu zao wa isi hawamtangile Yesu ama kuzitanga mbuli za wahokozi. Hata avo mkumtagusa Yesu kudanganhika, wazitenda mbuli zino za wahokozi ziwosoma Mazua gose ga Mhumulo zivikile.

²⁸Hata kamba hawonile kilamso kimulumbile heyo kudanganhika, wamulongela Pilato yamtaguse ifa.
