¹Munhu yumwe nayali yochemigwa Lasalo nayali mtamwa. Munhu ayo nayali yochikala hali muji wa Betaniya. Muji awo ndo kwali hakaye ha Maliya na lumbulye Malita.

²Maliya ayu ndo yuyula yambakaze Mkulu Yesu mafuta ga kubakaliza na kubagusa kwa mnvili za heye. Lelo Lasalo, lumbulye ndo nayali yotamika.

³Awala wadala wahilika usenga kwa Yesu walonga, “Mkulu, mkulugwe ulingumgana Lasalo kangutamika.”

⁴Yesu vyoyahuliche ago, nakalonga, “Utamwa awu haumkopola hebu Lasalo, ila ni kwa mbuli ya ukulu wa Nguluwi. Lasalo kotamika leka kwa kukolela ayo Mwana wa Nguluwi yapegwe ukulu.”

⁵Yesu nakamgana heko Malita na lumbulye na mkulu wawo Lasalo.

⁶Vyoyahuliche kota Lasalo mtamwa, kekala bahala hoyawele mazuwa gayage meli.

⁷Hamba nakawalonjela walanguswa wa heye, “Tucheni tuhiluche Yudeya.”

⁸Walanguswa nawamwidichila, “Mlangusa, kusemwa mhela udo hela Wayahudi vyowali wogana kukusubula na maganga, kahi kwangugana uhiluche kuko?”

⁹Yesu nakawalonjela, “Zuwa limwe lina saa kumi na meli, si ndo vyoili? Lelo heye yojenda kuzelu hochikwang'wala hebu, kwavila kanguwona uzelu.

¹⁰Ila wone munhu yojenda nechilo, kochikwang'hbwala, kwa vila kahela lumuli mgati mwa heye.”

¹¹Yesu nakalonga ago na konjezela, “Mganwa wa hetwe Lasalo kawasa, heni ndoluta ndikamwinule.”

¹²Walanguswa nawedichila, “Mkulu, wone yawasile kowa mkomu.”

¹³Yesu nayali yolonga mbuli ya kubagama kwa Lasalo, ila walanguswa hewo nawavizela kota Lasalo kawasa hela.

¹⁴Hamba Yesu nakawatubulila kalonga, “Lasalo kabagama.

¹⁵Ndangusangalala kwavila nasali ako ila mkunde. Lelo tucheni koyali.”

¹⁶Tomasi nayali yochemigwa mnyambili kawalonjela walanguswa wayage kalonga, “Tucheni na hetwe tukabagame hamawe na heye.”

¹⁷Yesu vyoyafichile, nakafika wamtilile Lasalo katali mazuwa gane nagakola.

¹⁸Betaniya kwali kutali kwa kota maili zidatu hino kulawa Yelusalemu.

¹⁹Wayahudi wenji nawoya kuwahembuliza Malita na Maliya kwa kufiligwa na lumbulyawo Lasalo.

²⁰Malita vyoyahuliche kota Yesu kanguya, nakaluta kumbochela, ila heye Maliya nakapona hakaye.

²¹Malita nakamlonjela Yesu, “Mkulu, na uwe baha, lumbulyangu hali bagama!

²²Ila ndivizela kota na sambi, Nguluwi kokupa choneche choumlanda!”

²³Yesu nakamlonjela Malita, “Lumbulyake heye kozilipuka kahi.”
