Ngono unodana pkhwizi dzinobe dzili dzidze nge mazina adzo edzitungamilila kuzhe. 4 Ha adzidusa, unodzitungamila, ngono dzikantobela, ngobe dziziba hwi lile. 5 Adzingatobele mwezi, dzowontizha, ngobe dzisingazibe hwi lile.”

Iye unongina ndimi unowotjidziwa, unowongina kabhuda kawana mafulo. 10 Mbava inozha kuwokwiba ne kuwobulaya ne kuwolobesa. Imi ndakazha kuti babe ne butjilo, kakale babe nago nge buzhalo.
11 “Ndimi nlisi wakalulwama. Nlisi wakalulwama wakazwimisila kufila pkhwizi dzidze. 12 Nthu unolisila kulipiwa, ate ali nlisi, kakale ate ali mweni we pkhwizi, unoti ebona phele izha, katizha kasiya pkhwizi, ngono phele ikabhata pkhwizi ikadzipaladza. 13 Unotizha, ngobe ali mbhatshi koga, asina hanya ne pkhwizi. 14 Ndimi nlisi wakalulwama, ndoziba pkhwizi dzangu, na idzo dzondizibabo, 15 koga sa Tate bendiziba nami ndibaziba sekwa banondiziba. Ndakazwimisila kufila pkhwizi dzangu. 16 Ndina dzimwe pkhwizi dzangu dzisi dze danga ileli. Ngono ndakafanila ndidzizhisebo, ngono dzowohwa hwi langu, ndizo kowobe ne danga ling'ompela lina nlisi nng'ompela.
17 “Ngekwa ikoku, tate banondida, ngobe ndawopila butjilo gwangu kuti ndizo ndiguamutjile kakale. 18 Akuna unonditolela butjilo gwangu. Ndimi ndakazwimisila kuti ndife. Ndina simba le kugukoba kakale ndina simba le kuguamutjila kakale. Etji nditjo tjandakadwiwa ndi Tate.”
19 Kukabe ne kuthubukana kakale pakati kwe Bajuta ngekwe matama iyawa. 20 Bunji gwabo guti, “Una meya mbi! Unopenga! Mohwilililani tjaanoleba?”
21 Bamwe beti, “Nthu una meya mbi aangalebe matama akajali. Apa meya mbi ingapofunula mapofu tjini kene?”

Ha uli iwe Mesiya, utibudze kube patjena.”
25 Jesu kabashandula eti, “Ndakamubudza ntolo, koga amutoduma. Mishingo yandinoshinga nge zina la Tate inolakidza nge kwangu, 26 koga amutoduma, ngobe ate muli pkhwizi dzangu. 27 Pkhwizi dzangu dzohwa hwi langu, ndodziziba na idzo dzonditobela. 28 Ndodzipa butjilo gusingapele, ngono adzingalobe. Akuna ungadzidzamula mu maboko angu. 29 Tate bakandipa idzo ba nkulu pana bose, ngono akuna ungadzamula tjimwe mu maboko a Tate. 30 Imi na Tate ti banng'ompela.”
31 Bajuta bakanunga mabgwe kakale beti bankikithidze. 32 Koga Jesu kabadwa kati, “Ndakashinga mishingo minjinji mibuya inodwa kuna Tate muli yapo, ndiupi wayo wamunoshaka kundikikithidzila iwo?”
33 Bajuta bakanshandula beti, “Atitokukikithidzilila mishingo mibuya, koga tokukikithidzilila kutuka Ndzimu! Unozwithama Ndzimu koga uli nthu!”
34 Jesu kabashandula eti, “Kwakakwagwa mu nlayo wenyu kuyi Ndzimu wakati, ‘Mu midzimu.’ 35 Toziba kuti tjinolebgwa nge Hwalo dze Ndzimu malebeswa nge kusingapele, Ndzimu wakabadana midzimu, 36 ngono motini nge kwa iye wakayengemadziwa ndi Tate bakantuma mu shango kene? Ini munditendeka nge tjinyala muti ndotuka Ndzimu andati ndi Nkololo we Ndzimu? 37 Ha ndisingashinge mishingo ya Tate musigalemoyo mundili. 38 Koga ha ndishinga tjinodiwa ndi Tate, nenguba musingagalemoyo mundili, bukulu galanimoyo zwiyito zwangu, ndizo muzibe kuti Tate bamundili, nami ndimuna Tate.”
39 Bakagwisa kumbhata kakale, koga kapudzumuka mu maboko abo.
