34Mtingano we iwanu wamghutsa, “Ghamalaghitso ghetu tsaghalonga Kiristu katsokala ghamatsuwa ghose. Ule lelo kwolonga ‘Imwana we Imunu kobamighwa yenulighwe?’ Apfi Imwana yuno we Imunu nani?”
35Kuya Yesu kawalongela, “Mtsokala ne ghumwanga kwa chipindi chidodo. Mwange hamng'ali nawo ghumwanga, ng'ana ichisi chiwatsile. Imunu iyokwanga mchisi ng'omanya bae koyoghenda.
36Mtoghole ghumwanga hamng'ali nawo, ili muwe iwana we ghumwanga.” Hayamalitse kulonga apfi, Yesu koka, kepfisa waleke kumwona.
37Hata ka Yesu tsakasang'ana pfihulo hambele hawo, lekeni ng'awamtoghole bae.
38Agha ghose ghalawila ghatimile aghala ghayalongile Nabii Isaya. “Imtwatsa, nani iyautoghole usenga wetu? Na ghumoko ghwa Imtwatsa ughubulighwa kwa nani?”
39Apfo ng'awadahile bae kutoghola, kwaapfila Isaya pfipfila tsakalonga keli.
40Imulungu kalonga, “Nitsowabopfula nenge tsawo, nitsotsibumbuwatsa mbutsi tsawo, waleke kwona kwa tsinenge tsawo, waleke kumanya kwa mbutsi tsawo, waleke kunihundukila, na kuwahonetsa.”
41Isaya tsakalonga apfi kwaapfila tsakawona utunitso wa Yesu na kulonga mbuli tsake.
42Hata iwakulu wangi wa Wayahudi tsawamtoghola Yesu. Lekeni ng'awadahile bae kulonga mwatsimwatsi kwaapfila wapfuka Mafarisayo watsowawinga mne Ing'anda ye Imulungu.
43Kwaapfila tsawanoghelighwa sideke kutunyighwa ne iwanu kubita kutunyighwa ne Imulungu.
44Yesu kakemelela, “Imunu wowose iyonitoghola nene, ng'onitoghola nene niliyeka bae ila pfipfila komtoghola ayula iyanitumile.
45Imunu wowose iyombona nene komwona yula iyanitumile.
46Nitsa muisi niwe ghumwanga, ili iwanu wose iwonitoghola waleke kukala mchisi.
