3 Lunhu mkulu lwa wanhu wolumwa lukala lutambalala mvihelengo vivo, wanhu wasuwameso, mbetembete na wanhu waholole. Wakala wobetela mazi gatibuligwe,
4 kwavija kuna kipindi msenga wa kuulanga kezaga na kugatibula gaja gamazi geli kudikolombo, na mtamu yoyose yahalongola kwingila mazi gahamala kutibuligwa, kohona utamu wowose uyali nao.
5 Aho kukala na munhu imoja mtamu kwa miyaka malongo madatu na nane.
6 Yesu viyamone katambalala aho, kajuwa kamba munhu ayo kana utamu wa siku nyingi, avo Yesu kamuuza, “Kolonda kuhona?”
7 Mtamu ayo kamwidika, “Go mkulu. Kuduhu munhu wa kuningiza kudikolombo mazi gahatibuligwa. Kila vinigeza kwingila, munhu iyagwe konilongolela.”
8 Abaho Yesu kamulongela, “Winuke, papa mkeka wako, utembele.”
9 Bahaja munhu ayo kahona, kapapa mkeka wake, kasonga kutembela. Mbuli ino ilawilila mwiisiku ya Kubwihila,
10 avo wakulu wa Wayahudi wamulongela munhu ija yahonyigwe, “Lelo ni siku ya Kubwihila, Malagizo getu gogomesa gweye sekeupape mkeka wako.”
11 Munhu ayo yahonyigwe kawedika, “Munhu heyo yanihonyile kanilongela nipape mkeka wangu nigende.”

15 Abaho munhu ayo kasegela, kachola kwa iwakulu wa Wayahudi, kawalongela, “Yesu ayo yanihonyile.”
