9Ipinga ayo kamwidika, “Ghweghwe kwa Myahudi, nene na Msamariya. Ule kwonomba ghamatsi?” Tsakalonga apfi kwaapfila Wayahudi na Wasamariya ng'awajagha hamwe bae.
10Yesu kamwidika, “Ung'amanyile ichinu chayolapfa Imulungu na nani iyokulomba ghamatsi gho ukunwa, ung'amlombile, naye ang'akwing'ile ghamatsi ighoghala ughima.”
11Ipinga ayo kalonga, “Imtwatsa, kwahela chinu cha kudeghela ghamatsi, ne chisima chighendesa. Lelo utsoghapata kwani ghamatsi ghe ughima?
12Apfi ghweghwe kwa mbala kubita aba wetu Yakobu iyatwing'ile chisima chino, yeye mwenyegho ne iwanaghe ne iwanyama wake tsawanwa ghamatsi ghe chisima chino?”
13Yesu kamwidika, “Imunu wowose iyakunwa ghamatsi ghano, katsakona ng'ilu keli,
14lekeni imunu wowose iyakunwa ghamatsi ghanimwing'a nene, ng'atsakona ng'ilu keli. Ghamatsi ghanimwing'a nene ghatsakuwa mbwibwi iilapfa ghamatsi gha ughima mghati mwake na ghatsomwing'a ughima wa ghamatsuwa ghose.”
15Ipinga ayo kamlongela, “Mtwatsa ngaya ghamatsi agho ndeke kwona ng'ilu keli, kuya ndeke kutsa hano keli kudegha ghamatsi.”
16Yesu kamlongela, “Ghenda ukamkeme mmale wako, utse naye.”
17Ipinga ayo kamwidika, “Nahela mmale.” Yesu kamlongela, “Kolonga ghoya haulonga kwahela mmale.
18Kwaapfila tsakukwelighwa ne iwamale watano, na mmale yauli naye sambi si mmale wako bae. Chaulongile kulongesa ghendo.”
19Ipinga ayo kalonga, “Imtwatsa, nakwona ghweghwe kwa nabii.
20Iwabala wetu tsawamtamanila Imulungu hane lughongo luno, lekeni mwemwe Wayahudi mwolonga twobamighwa tumtamanile Imulungu ako Yerusalemu.”
21Yesu kamlongela, “Mai utoghole, ghamatsuwa ghakutsa iwanu ng'awatsomtamanila bae Aba hane lughongo luno wala ako Yerusalemu.
22Mwemwe Wasamariya ng'amummanyile bae yamumtamanila, lekeni twetwe Wayahudi twommanya yatumtamanila, kwaapfila ukombotsi wolawa kwa Wayahudi.
23Lekeni matsuwa ghakutsa na sambi ghabaha iwanu iwotamanila kweli watsomtamanila Aba kwa kulongotsighwa na Ghumuhe na kweli, kwaapfila womtamanila ka Aba pfayobama.
24Imulungu ka Ghumuhe, apfo iwanu wake iwomtamanila wamtamanile kwa Ghumuhe na ukweli.”
25Ipinga ayo kamlongela, “Nomanya Masiya iyokemighwa Kiristu kakutsa, na hatsakutsa katsotulongela ghoya chila chinu.”
26Yesu kamwidika, “Nene yanilonga naghwe, iyo yuyo.”
27Iwanang'ina wake Yesu tsawoya, wakangawala kumpfika Yesu kolonga ne ipinga ayo. Lekeni kuduhu imunu yamghutsile, “Apfi ubama choni?” au “Ule ulonga ne ipinga?”
28Kuya ipinga ayo kachileka chiha chake cha ghamatsi, koya ukaye, kawalongela iwanu,
29“Mtse mmwone imunu iyanongele ipfinu pfose pfanendile. Apfi ayu kodaha kuwa Kiristu?”
30Apfo iwanu walawa mkaye mwao wamghendela Yesu.
