¹⁴Yesu kamvika mwana mhunda, na kukwela uchana yake, kamba Nyandiko Zing'alile vuzilonga,

¹⁵“Sambiudumbe, gweye kiwambo cha Sayuni! Mndewa wako kokwiza, yapapigwe mumgongo wa mhunda mdodo.”

¹⁶Wanahina zake hawagatangile gano kipigiti kija, ila Yesu viyayenzigwe, wakumbukila kamba Nyandiko Zing'alile zilonga gano na avo gatendigwa gano sama yake.

¹⁷Wanhu wakalile na Yesu kipigiti viyamkemile Lazalo kulawa mdipanga na kumzusa kulawa mkudanganhika wagendelela kugapeta gaja galawilile.

¹⁸Wanhu bwando wachola kum'bokela, kwavija wakala wahulike kamba katenda mzonza uno.

¹⁹Abaho, Mafalisayo wakiilongela, “M'vona, tuhumwa! Lola, ulumwengu wose womkweleleza heyo!”

²⁰Mmwanza wa wanhu waja wacholile Yelusalemu kutambika kipigiti cha Ulusona lwa Pasaka wakala Wagiliki.

²¹Wachola ha Filipo, yakalile mwenekae wa Betisaida ako Galilaya, wamulongela, “Mndewa, tolonda kumona Yesu.”

²²Filipo kachola kumulongela Endelea, na awo wabili wachola kumulongela Yesu.

²³Yesu kawalongela, “Kipigiti cha nie, Mwana wa Munhu, kuyenzigwa kivika.

²⁴Nowalongela ikweli, kamba nzele ya ngano hailagale hasi na kudanganhika, yosigala kuwa imwe. Ila ihadanganhika, yolela nzele bwando.

²⁵Awo wounogela ugima wao wowagiza, na awo wowihila ugima wao muulumwengu uno wowika kuugima wa digunge.
