41 Womberi wamwakula, “Hakawalagi woseri yawatenditi vidoda na lirambu lilii hakawapanani walimaji wamonga, ndo weni hawamupanani semu yakuwi yawavibena kwa shipindi sha kubenanga.”

42 Yesu kawagambira, “Hashi, hamwebetuli shawalembiti Mumalembu Managala?

‘Libuwi lyawalilemiti wanyawa numba,

vinu liwera libuwi lyaliwera na mana nentu kuliku mabuwi goseri.

Mtuwa ndo yakatenditi shitwatira ashi,
