6 Abaho Mndewa kagendelela kulonga, “Tegelezeni kiyalongile msemi ija yehile. 7 Vino, Imulungu honda yawagwee haki wanhu zake yawasagule, omulilila imisi na ikilo? Vino kokawa kuwategeleza? 8 Nowalongela, kowagwaa haki yao himahima. Lakini Mwana wa Munhu vonda yeze, vino kodivika tamanilo mwiisi?”
11 “Mfalisayo ayo kainega kumgwazo na kumpula Imulungu, ‘Go Imulungu, nokugwaa nhogolwa kwavija niye sili kamba wanhu wayagwe, wabokaji, otenda gehile, hebu wagoni. Wala sili kamba ino mbokela kodi. 12 Niye nofunga kuja miyanza mibili mzisiku saba, na nolava fungu da longo da vinhu vangu vose vinipata!’
13 “Lakini ija mbokela kodi kema kutali, hadahile hata kwinula meso gake kuulanga, lakini kaitowa mhambaga yake kwa usungu, kalonga, ‘Go Imulungu, nyonele bazi, niye na mwene nzambi!’ 14 Nowalongela, mbokela kodi ija kachola ukae kumwake kuno katendigwa kanoga mgameso ga Imulungu kubanza ija Mfalisayo. Kwavija wose oitenda wanhu wakulu ohumulusigwa, na waja oihumulusa otendigwa wanhu wakulu.”
15 Wanhu wayagwe wamgalila Yesu wana wadodo yawekile makono. Wanahina viwone avo, wawakomhokela. 16 Lakini Yesu kawakema iwana, kalonga, “Walekeni wana wadodo weze kumwangu, sikumuwagomese, kwavija Undewa wa Imulungu wa wanhu kamba wano. 17 Nowalongeleni ukweli! Munhu yoyose yolema kuubokela Undewa wa Imulungu kamba mwana mdodo, honda yengile ng'o!”
18 Mkulu imoja kamuuza Yesu, “Mfundiza Unogile, nhende choni niupate ugima wa milele?”
19 Yesu kamuuza, “Habali kong'hema, ‘unogile’? Kuduhu yanogile, ila Imulungu yaiyeka. 20 Kugajuwa Malagizo, ‘Sikuutende ugoni, sikuukome, sikuwibe, sikuulonge uvizi, wategeleze tatako na mamako.’ ”
21 Munhu ija kedika, “Gago gose nigagoga toka haudodo.”
22 Yesu viyahulike avo, kamulongela, “Kuhungukiligwa na kinhu kimoja. Chuuza vose viulinavo, uwagwee sente wanhu wakiwa, na gweye kokuwa na ngama yako kuulanga. Abaho wize unikweleleze.” 23 Lakini munhu ayo viyahulike avo, kanyunyuwala kwavija kakala tajili ng'hani.
24 Yesu viyamone kanyunyuwala, kalonga, “Vino avo vonda iwe vidala kwa wanhu matajili kwingila Muundewa wa Imulungu! 25 Kwavija vibuha kwa ngamiya kubita mna ikizonzo cha sanzia, kubanza tajili kwingila muundewa wa Imulungu.”
26 Wanhu wamuhulike, wamuuza, “Avo lelo nani yonda yadahe kukomboligwa?”
27 Yesu kawedika, “Vinhu havidahika kwa wanhu, kwa Imulungu vodahika.”
28 Abaho Petulo kalonga, “Lola! Siye tuvileka vinhu vetu vose, tukukweleleza gweye.”
29 Yesu kawalongela, “Nowalongela kweli, munhu yoyose yoleka kae yake hebu mwehe wake hebu ndugu zake hebu tatake na mamake hebu wanage mbuli ya Undewa wa Imulungu, 30 kobokela vinhu vingi ng'hani mna ikipindi kino na kobokela ugima wa milele mna ikipindi chonda kize.”
31 Yesu kawagala hamgwazo wanahina zake longo na wabili, kawalongela, “Tegelezeni! Tochola Yelusalemu. Kuko kila kinhu chandikigwe na watula ndagu wa Imulungu mbuli ya Mwana wa Munhu cholawilila. 32 Kwavija kogeligwa mmakono ga wanhu haweli Wayahudi, nao omzeha, omuliga, na omtemela mate. 33 Omtowa mbalati na kumkoma, lakini siku da kadatu kozilibuka.”
34 Lakini wanahina hawazijuwile bule mbuli azo, kwavija wakala wafisigwe na hawakijuwile kija kiyakalile yokilonga Yesu.
35 Yesu viyakalile behi na kuvika Yeliko, munhu imoja yakalile msuwameso kakala hamgwazo mnzila, kopula. 36 Munhu ayo viyahulike lunhu lwa wanhu lobita, kauza, “Kuna choni?”
37 Wanhu wamulongela, “Yesu wa Nazaleti kobita.”
38 Nayo kakemelela, “Yesu! Mwana wa Daudi! Nyonele bazi!”
39 Wanhu walongole wamkomhokela, wamulongela yanyamale. Lakini heyo kagendelela kukemelela ng'hani, “Mwana wa Daudi! Nyonele bazi!”
40 Avo Yesu kema, kalagiza munhu ija yagaligwe kumwake. Viyavikile behi, Yesu kamuuza, 41 “Kolonda nikutendele choni?”
42 Yesu kamulongela, “Lola! Kutamanila kwako kukuhonya.”
43 Bahaja munhu ija kadaha kulola, kamkweleleza Yesu kuno komgwaa nhogolwa Imulungu. Wanhu wose viwone avo, wamgwaa nhogolwa Imulungu.
