Yohani 4:7-20

⁷Pambeli mdadala yumu wa mlima wa Samaliya kayisa palitepu kuteka machi. Yesu kamuwombela, “Nguluva machi nandi.”

⁸Chipindi chila vandundami va Yesu vayendili kumbwani kuhemela filivi.

⁹Topi yula mdadala kamuyangula, “Yuwi kuva Muyawudi na nenga Msamaliya. Ukuwesha wuliwuli kunuva machi va kulanda?” Vayawudi vayihashagha ha na Vasamaliya.

¹⁰Yesu kamuyangula, “Leki ungamanyili Chapanga akutawula chindu liki na ayu ghani yakuluva machi va kulanda, ungamuluvili mweni na mweni angakupili machi va unofu.”

¹¹Yula mdadala kamuwombela, “Bambu, kuvahela chindu cha kutekela machi na litepu lyeni litali munu. Topi dawupati koti machi va unofu?

¹²Mbuyi wetu Yakobi ndi yatugayilili yufwi litepu ali. Mweni bahala pamu na vana vaki na vang'ongolu vaki valandili machi vaki. Yuwi wukuyiwona kuva mkomi pitu Yakobi?”

¹³Yesu kamuyangula, “Kila mundu yalanda machi ava dayumilwi kandi ha.

¹⁴Lakini mundu yoyosi dalanda machi vala dandimgayili, dayumilwi kandi ha hata padokwa. Kwanongwa machi dandimgayili, davavi mugati yaki mukusesa machi na kutuva machi va unofu wa jola.”

¹⁵Mdadala yula kamuwombela, “Bambu, topi unyimbi machi veni ili ngotoo kuyumilwa kandi na ngotoo kuyisa kandi apa kuteka machi.”

¹⁶Yesu kamuwombela, “Yendi kamkemi mlumi waku ayisi apa.”

¹⁷Yula mdadala kamuyangula, “Nenga ndivahela mlumi.” Yesu kamuwombela, “Ukudeta nakaka kucha kuvahela mlumi.

¹⁸Kwanongwa wahetiwili na valumi muhanu na ayu yiwikala nayu ponopa mlumi waku ng'odu.”

¹⁹Pambeli mdadala yula kamuwombela, “Bambu, nguwona kucha yuwi mbuyi.

²⁰Vavaha vetu vamudadavili Chapanga kumbindi ya chidunda achi, lakini yumwi Vayawudi mukudeta kucha Yelusalemu ndi peni patudayiliwa kumdadavila Chapanga.”
