6 Viyabokele usenga uno kamba Lazalo kakala mtamu, Yesu kongeza siku mbili kukala aho haakalile.
7 Abaho Yesu kawalongela wanahina zake, “Tubweleni Yudea.”
8 Wanahina wamwidika, “Mfundiza, sambi sambi Wayahudi wa aho walonda kukutowa mabwe, abaho kofunga mwanza ubwele kuko?”
9 Yesu kalonga, “Vino imisi yaduhu masaa longo na mabili? Avo wanhu wogenda imisi hawaikwala, kwavija wowona mulenge wa mwiisi ino.
10 Lakini kamba wahagenda ikilo woikwala kwavija waduhu mulenge.”
11 Yesu viyamambukize kulonga avo, kalonga, “Mbwigaetu Lazalo kawasa, lakini nochola kumulamusa.”
12 Wanahina wamwidika, “Mndewa, kamba kawasa kohona.”
13 Yesu kakala yofambula kamba Lazalo kafa, lakini wanahina zake wagesa kakala yolonga kuwasa utulo.
14 Avo Yesu kawalongela fulu ipile, “Lazalo kafa,
15 lakini nodeng'helela mbuli yenu kwavija sikalile nayo muladi mutogole. Leka tucholeni kumwake.”
16 Tomaso yakemigwe Pacha kawalongela wanahina wayage, “Tucholeni hiko hamoja na Mfundiza, tukafe nayo!”
17 Yesu viyavikile ako, kaluvika lukuli lwa Lazalo lwa mdipanga siku nne.
18 Betania ikala utali wa kamba kilometa ndatu kulawa Yelusalemu,
19 Wayahudi wengi weza kuwalola Mata na Malia na kuwagoga makono mbuli ya ifa ya lumbu jao.
20 Mata viyahulike kamba Yesu kakala yokwiza, kalawa kunze kumbokela, lakini Malia kasigala mng'anda.
21 Mata kamulongela Yesu, “Mndewa, maza ukalile baha lumbu jangu sambi yafe bule!
22 Lakini hata sambi nojuwa kamba Mulungu kokugwaa kinhu chochose kiumpula.”
23 Yesu kamulongela, “Lumbu jako kozilibuka.”
24 Mata kedika, “Nojuwa kamba kozilibuka mna isiku ya uhelelo.”
25 Yesu kamulongela, “Niye ayo uzilibuko na ugima. Wanhu wose wonhogola wokuwa wagima, hata wahafa,
26 na wanhu wose weli wagima na wonhogola niye honda wafe bule. Kozitogola mbuli zino?”
27 Mata kedika, “Ona Mndewa, notogola kamba gweye ayo Kilisito Mkombola, Mwana wa Mulungu ija yezile mwiisi.”
28 Mata viyalongile avo, kabweleganya mng'anda, kamkema mkulu wake Malia kinyelegezi. Kamulongela, “Mfundiza kabaha, kokukema gweye.”
29 Malia viyahulike avo, kenuka himahima kamcholela Yesu.
30 Yesu kakala yang'hali hanavika mkijiji, lakini kakala hanhu aho haamting'hane Mata.
31 Avo, Wayahudi wakalile mng'anda na Malia womgoga makono, wamkweleleza viwamone kenuka himahima na kuchola kunze. Wagesa kochola kudipanga kulila.
32 Malia kavika aho haakalile Yesu, bahaja viyamone, kamfugamila, kalonga, “Mndewa, maza ukalile baha, lumbu jangu sambi yafe bule!”
33 Yesu viyamone Malia kolila, na Wayahudi wakalile nayo wolila vivija, kona usungu na kanyunyuwala muumoyo.
34 Yesu kawauza, “Mumzikila kwahi?” Wamwidika, “Mndewa izo ulole.”
35 Yesu kalila.
36 Wayahudi walonga, “Loleni viyamnogele Lazalo.”
37 Lakini wanhu wayagwe walonga, “Kamuhonya munhu msuwameso, hadahile vilihi kumtenda Lazalo sekeyafe?”
38 Yesu viyakalile yang'hali konyunyuwala muumoyo, kachola kudipanga, dikalile mhango igubikigwe na dibwe.
39 Yesu kawalagiza, “Segezeni idibwe!” Mata, lumbu wa munhu ija yafile, kedika, “Mndewa, kwiza honung'ha bundo, kwavija kana siku nne toka yazikigwe!”
40 Yesu kamulongela, “Vino sikulongele bule wahatogola kouwona ukulu wa Mulungu?”
