¹¹Mdala yula kamuuza, “Mkulu, hegwe kwahela chinhu cha kudehela malenga, na ideho liluta hasi lukami, kogapata kohi malenga ga ukomu?

¹²Hambi hegwe kwa mkulu kusinda mhaza wa hetwe Yakubu yatupele ideho lino, heye kanwa malenga gano na wanage na misenga jake?”

¹³Yesu nakedichila, “Wanhu weng'ha walingunwa malenga aga, woza ngona ng'halu kahi,

¹⁴ila munhu yonwa malenga ga heni hokona ng'halu ne hado. Malenga gowa nzasa imwigalila malenga ga ukomu. Kahi gompa ukomu wa mazuwa gose ne kuduma.”

¹⁵Ayula mdala nakamlonjela Yesu, “Mkulu, umhe heni ago malenga ndeche kuyona ng'halu iyage na ndoleka kuya ahano kudeha malenga.”

¹⁶Yesu nakamlonjela ayula mdala, “Ulute kamcheme mlume wa hegwe uye naye ahano.”

¹⁷Ayula mdala nakamwidichila, “Ndahela mlume.” Yesu nakedichila, “Nakukomya vyoulonjile kwahela mlume.

¹⁸Nakuholigwa na walume wahano, na mlume ulingikala naye sambi hawele mlume wa hegwe. Goulonga kukomya.”

¹⁹Yula mdala nakamlonjela, “Mkulu, ndangukona hegwe kwa mloli wa Nguluwi.

²⁰Wasekulu wa hetwe wali wotambichiza Nguluwi kuli chidunda chino, ila hemwe Wayahudi mwangulonga Yelusalemu ndo honhu ha kutambichiza Nguluwi.”

²¹Yesu nakamlonjela yula mdala, “Mdala ukunde gondilonga, mhela wanguya wanhu howomtambichiza Nguluwi kuli chidunda chino ama kula Yelusalemu.

²²Hemwe Wasamaliya hamzelele yalikohi wa kumtambichiza, ila hetwe Wayahudi tumzela yalikohi wa kumtambichiza, kwa vila ulohozi wolawa kwa Wayahudi.

²³Ila mhela wanguya nawabaha ufika, walingutambichiza wokomya, womtambichiza Mhaza wolongozwa kwa Muhe Yelile na kukomya.

²⁴Nguluwi ndo Muhe. Ahyo wanhu walingumtambichiza, wamtambichize kwa kulongozwa kwa Muhe na kukomya.”

²⁵Mdala nakamlonjela Yesu hino, “Ndivizela kota Masiha yochemigwa Kilistu Mlohozi kokuya. Hoyokuya, kotulonjela hetwe mbuli zeng'ha.”

²⁶Yesu nakamwidichila, “Heni ndo nene ndilingulonga na hegwe!”

²⁷Baho du, walanguswa nawahiluka, wabubuwala vyowamfichile Yesu yolonga na mdala. Ila kwali kuduhu ne yumwe yamuuzile ayula mdala kota, “Kwangugana choni?” Nakumuuza Yesu, “Ndaze kwangulonga na ayu mdala?”

²⁸Hamba ayula mdala nakaleka chiya cha malenga, kahiluka kuluga kuwalonjela wanhu,

²⁹Muye mlole, munhu yandonjele heni geng'ha gong'holile, kowa yawele Kilistu Mlohozi?

³⁰Baho wanhu nawoka kuli muji nawaluta koyali Yesu.

³¹Mhela wuwo walanguswa wali womdedeza Yesu, “Mlangusa, ulye chilyo.”

³²Ila heye nakawedichila, “Ndina chilyo cha kulya cho hamchizelele hebu.”

³³Walanguswa nawaluka kiwuza hewo waliyeka, “Hambi kwali na munhu yamigalile chilyo?”

³⁴Yesu nakawalonjela, “Chilyo cha heni chowa kudita vyoyaganile heye yanhumile na kukola mbuli zoyalajize.

³⁵Vyomzowele kulonga, ‘Jinghali myezi jine hela mhela wa mbena.’ Ila ndangukulonjelani mlole goya kuli migunda, vilyo vikangala goya kubenigwa.

³⁶Ayula yokola mijito ya mbena, kowa yopegwa sendi, na kukungajiza chilyo kuli ukomu wa mazuwa gose ne kuduma, yumwe yonyala na yumwe yobena, weng'ha wowa wosechelela hamwe.

³⁷Kwa vila ulonzi awu ukomya, yumwe konyala na yumwe kobena.

³⁸Ndiwalajiza hemwe mkabene kuli migunda johamkolile mijito, wanji wochitunya hala na hemwe mohola hela.”

³⁹Wasamaliya kuli muji ula nawamkunda Yesu kota ayula mdala vyoyawalonjele, “Kandonjela geng'ha gonditile.”

⁴⁰Wasamaliya vyowoyile kwa Yesu, nawamdedeza yekale na hewo. Yesu kekala na hewo mazuwa meli.
