21 Wachola kwa Filipo mwenekae wa Betisaida mwiisi ya Galilaya walonga, “Go mkulu, tolonda tumone Yesu.”
22 Filipo kachola na kumulongela Andeleya, abaho wose wabili wachola kumulongela Yesu.
23 Yesu kawedika, “Sambi kipindi kivika cha Mwana wa Munhu kubokela ukulu.
24 Nowalongeleni ukweli, mhule ya uhemba yosigala imoja siku zose mbaka ilagale hasi ife. Ila yahafa baho yolela na kuwa mhule nyingi.
25 Munhu yoyose younogela ugima wake kowagiza, lakini munhu yoyose yowihila ugima wake mwiisi ino kowika kwa ugima wa mazuwa gose.
26 Munhu yoyose yolonda kuwa msang'hanaji wangu kolondeka yanikweleleze, avo msang'hanaji wangu kokuwa na niye aho honda niwe. Tatangu komgwaa nhogolwa munhu yoyose yonisang'hanila.
27 “Sambi loho yangu yoluma, vino nongeze? Nonge, ‘Tata, sambiutende kipindi kino kivike kumwangu’? Lakini lekaavo niza ili nibite kipindi kino cha madununzo.
28 Tata, uditogole twaga jako!” Abaho sauti ihulikigwa kulawa kuulanga, “Niditogola, na notenda vivo kabili.”
29 Lunhu lwimile aho luihulika sauti ayo, na wanhu wayagwe walonga, “Mulungu kaduma.” Kuno wayagwe walonga, “Msenga wa kuulanga kalonga nayo!”
30 Lakini Yesu kawalongela, “Sauti ino haihulikigwe mbuli ya niye, lakini mbuli yenu.
31 Sambi acho kipindi cha wanhu wa mwiisi ino kutagusigwa, na Mwenembago mkulu wa mwiisi ino kokwasigwa.
32 Kipindi nahenuligwa uchanha kulawa hasi, nomkwega kila munhu kumwangu.”
33 Kwa ulonzi uno Yesu kalagusa ifa yonda yafe.
34 Lunhu lwa wanhu lumwidika, “Malagizo getu gotulongela kamba Kilisito Mkombola kokuwa mgima siku zose. Habali kabili gweye kolonga Mwana wa Munhu kolondeka yenuligwe uchanha? Vino ino Mwana wa Munhu ayo nani?”
35 Yesu kawedika, “Mulenge wokala na mweye kwa kipindi kidodo. Gendeleleni na mwanza kung'hali na mulenge muladi ziza sekediwezile, kwavija munhu yotembela mdiziza hajuwa kuja kuyochola.
36 Utogoleni mulenge baho mulinao muladi muwe wanhu wa mulenge.” Yesu viyamambukize kulonga avo, kasegela, wanhu hawamonile.
