13Yesu kakala yofambula kamba Lazalo kafa, lakini wanahina zake wagesa kakala yolonga kuwasa utulo.

16Tomaso yakemigwe Pacha kawalongela wanahina wayage, “Tucholeni hiko hamoja na Mfundiza, tukafe nayo!”
17Yesu viyavikile ako, kaluvika lukuli lwa Lazalo lwa mdipanga siku nne.
18Betania ikala utali wa kamba kilometa ndatu kulawa Yelusalemu,
19Wayahudi wengi weza kuwalola Mata na Malia na kuwagoga makono mbuli ya ifa ya lumbu jao.
20Mata viyahulike kamba Yesu kakala yokwiza, kalawa kunze kumbokela, lakini Malia kasigala mng'anda.
21Mata kamulongela Yesu, “Mndewa, maza ukalile baha lumbu jangu sambi yafe bule!
22Lakini hata sambi nojuwa kamba Mulungu kokugwaa kinhu chochose kiumpula.”
