Yahaya 6:47-56

⁴⁷Omi nukwambirani kweli kuwa mwenyé kwamini kanawo mainsha a milele.

⁴⁸Omi ndi nkate wa mainsha.

⁴⁹Wababu zenu wârya manã nlanga, wafwa nfululu.

⁵⁰Eyi ndi mikate isuke mbinguni ipate munu asaka kuwa onse akirya, asifwe.

⁵¹Nomi-nomini ndi mikate ya mainsha isuke mbinguni. Munu mmojawapo akirya noyi mikate‑yi, ainshi milele. Mikate yanukupani wanu wa mulumwengu kuwa mupate mainsha ndi mwiri wangu‑wu.”

⁵²Ndimana Mayahudi wakanza kukaidiyana watupu, wakamba: “Eyu munu‑yu vyaatipa mwiri wake tikirya, namunani?”

⁵³Kwa javyo, Insa akiwambira: “Omi nukwambirani kweli: ikiwa amurire mwiri wa Binadamu wa Binguni wala amunywere damu yake, amuwa na mainsha nkati yenu.

⁵⁴Mwenyé kurya mwiri wangu na kunywa damu yangu kanawo mainsha a milele, omi ninfufula suku ya mwinsho.

⁵⁵Kamana mwiri wangu ndi mikate yakweli, damu yangu ndi kinywaji cakweli.

⁵⁶Mwenyé kurya mwiri wangu na kunywa damu yangu, iye alungana nami, nnomi nilungana naye.
