1 Yesu kalonga, “Nowalongela ikweli, munhu yolema kwingila mulwigo lwa ng'hondolo mkubitila mulwivi, ila kozumha mkiwambaza, munhu hiyo m'bavi na m'bokonyi. 2 Munhu yokwingila mkubitila mulwivi iyo mchunga wa ng'hondolo. 3 Mwimilizi wa ulwivi kom'vugulila, na ng'hondolo wodihulika dizwi jake. Kowakema ng'hondolo zake na matwaga gao, na kuwalava hanze. 4 Yahamala kuwalava hanze, kolongola haulongozi wao, na iwang'hondolo womkweleleza kwavija waditanga dizwi jake. 5 Muhenza hawamkweleleza ila womkimbila, kwavija hawaditangile dizwi jake.”

6 Yesu kawalongela hala dino, ila hawaitangile nhegulo yake.

7 Avo Yesu kalonga kabili, “Nowalongela ikweli, nie iyo ulwivi lwa ng'hondolo. 8 Awo wayagwe wose wanilongole wabavi na mibokonyi, ila ng'hondolo hawawahulike. 9 Nie iyo ulwivi. Munhu yoyose yondayengile mkubitila nie kokomboligwa. Kokwingila na kulawa kuchola kuzahila mandia. 10 M'bavi kokwiza giladi yebe na kukoma na kubananga. Nie niza giladi muwe na ugima, na muwe nao bwando.”

11 “Nie iyo mchunga yanogile. Mchunga yanogile koulava ugima wake sama ya ng'hondolo. 12 Munhu wa kitumetume ayo yali sio mchunga, na ng'hondolo sio zake. Yahamona mbwizi yokwiza, kowaleka iwang'hondolo na kukimbila. Avo mbwizi kowagoga iwang'hondolo na wayagwe wopwililika. 13 Munhu wa kitumetume kokimbila kwavija munhu wa kitumetume hawagelegeza ng'hondolo, kwavija si ng'hondolo zake. 14 Nie iyo mchunga yanogile. Nowatanga ng'hondolo zangu na hewo wonitanga, 15 kamba vija Tataangu viyonitanga nie na nie vinimtanga Tataangu. Noulava ugima wangu sama ya ng'hondolo. 16 Hana ng'hondolo zangu wayagwe hawali mdikonhi dino. Vivija nolondigwa niwengize, woihulika nongelo yangu na kugaluka dale dimwe na mchunga imwe.

17 “Tata kaninogela nie kwavija noulava ugima wangu, giladi niubokele kabili. 18 Haduhu munhu yonisegezela ugima wangu. Noulava nene mwenyego. Nodaha kuulava na nodaha kuubweza kabili. Vino vivo Tataangu vayanilagize nitende.”

19 Wayahudi wakiigola kabili sama ya mbuli zino. 20 Wayahudi bwando walonga, “Kana kinyamkela, na kana luwege! Habali mumtegeleza?”

21 Ila wayagwe walonga, “Munhu yali na kinyamkela hadaha kulonga kamba vino! Kodahaze kinyamkela kuwatenda wanhu vimbugumbugu walole?”

22 Ukala msimu wa kihuhe, na Lusona lwa Kuifumbika Ng'anda ya Mulungu Mmakono ga Mulungu lukala lugendelela ako Yelusalemu. 23 Yesu kakala yobita hanhu hokemigwa Lubuga lwa Selemani muja mgati ya idikonhi da Ing'anda ya Mulungu. 24 Wakulu wa Wayahudi wammemela wamzunguluka, abaho, wamuuza, “Kotululunganya mbaka zua dilihi? Tulongele ikweli kamba gweye iyo Kilisto!”

25 Yesu kawalongela, “Niwalongela nisha, ila hamulondile kutogola. Mbuli zinitenda mtwaga da Tataangu zolonga vinili nie. 26 Ila hamunitogola kwavija mweye hamuli ng'hondolo zangu. 27 Ng'hondolo zangu wodihulika dizwi jangu. Nowatanga, na wonikweleleza nie. 28 Nowagwelela ugima wa digunge, na hawadanganhika, na haduhu munhu yondayadahe kuwabokonya kulawa kumwangu. 29 Tataangu, yangwelele wano, iyo mkulu kubanza vinhu vose. Haduhu munhu yondayadahe kuwabokonya kulawa mmakono gake Tata. 30 Tata na nie twa kinhu kimwe.”

31 Abaho, Wayahudi wenula mabwe kabili wamtoe nago. 32 Yesu kawalongela, “Niwalagusila mizonza bwando mikulu kulawa ha Tataangu, mbuli ilihi ihile yumulondela kunitoela na mabwe?”

33 Wamulongela, “Hatulonda kukutoa gweye na mabwe sama ya mbuli zinogile, ila sama ya ufukuzi wako! Gweye kwa munhu, abaho, kokiitenda mwenyego kuwa Mulungu!”

34 Yesu kawedika kalonga, “Hayandikigwe Mmalagizo genu, ‘Nilonga, mweye mwa miungu’? 35 Kamba Mulungu kawakema ‘miungu’ awo wavikiligwe na usenga wake, na Nyandiko Zing'alile hazidahika kubezigwa, 36 kamba nie Tata kanisagula na kunhuma muulumwengu, vilihi mweye molonga nofukula kwavija nilonga nie iyo Mwana wa Mulungu? 37 Kamba sitendile sang'hano zoyonilonda nitende Tataangu, sambimunitogole. 38 Ila kamba nihazitenda, hata kamba hamunitogola, mogatogola gaja gondanitende, giladi m'vitange kamba Tata ka mgati yangu, na nie na mgati ya Tataangu.”

39 Walonda kumgoga mwanza uyagwe kabili, ila kawazuluhuka mmakono gao.

40 Abaho, Yesu kabweleganya mwambu wa ikabili wa Ulwanda lwa Yolodani kachola hanhu haja hayakalile yobatiza Yohana umwaka, kakala haja. 41 Wanhu bwando wamcholela, walonga, “Yohana hatendile mzonza wowose, ila mbuli zose zayamulongile munhu ino zilawila kweli.” 42 Avo wanhu bwando haja wamtogola Yesu.
