Yohana 12:25-37

²⁵Munhu yoyose younogela ugima wake kowagiza, lakini munhu yoyose yowihila ugima wake mwiisi ino kowika kwa ugima wa mazuwa gose.

²⁶Munhu 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.

²⁸Tata, uditogole twaga jako!” Abaho sauti ihulikigwa kulawa kuulanga, “Niditogola, na notenda vivo kabili.”

²⁹Lunhu lwimile aho luihulika sauti ayo, na wanhu wayagwe walonga, “Mulungu kaduma.” Kuno wayagwe walonga, “Msenga wa kuulanga kalonga nayo!”

³⁰Lakini Yesu kawalongela, “Sauti ino haihulikigwe mbuli ya niye, lakini mbuli yenu.

³¹Sambi acho kipindi cha wanhu wa mwiisi ino kutagusigwa, na Mwenembago mkulu wa mwiisi ino kokwasigwa.

³²Kipindi nahenuligwa uchanha kulawa hasi, nomkwega kila munhu kumwangu.”

³³Kwa ulonzi uno Yesu kalagusa ifa yonda yafe.

³⁴Lunhu 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?”

³⁵Yesu 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.

³⁶Utogoleni mulenge baho mulinao muladi muwe wanhu wa mulenge.” Yesu viyamambukize kulonga avo, kasegela, wanhu hawamonile.

³⁷Hamoja Yesu kasang'hana unzonza mgameso gao, lakini hawamtogole bule.
