4 Lelo Yesu ayaswike ukuti, "Kyalembwa ukuti, ‘Tekumukate kweka umuntu engabela no mweo, lelo nikwisiwi lyonse ilifuma mukanwa kakwa Lesa.’"

"Lesa akeba bamalaika bakwe ukukubaka;

bakakwimya muminwe yabo,

pakuti wikaipuntula kumabwe."

7 Yesu ayaswike ukuti, "Kyalilembwa nakabili ukuti, ‘Wilaesya Imfumu Lesa obe.’"

8 Kabili Kiwa atwele Yesu palupili ulutali nokumulangisya amabufumu yapesonde mubukalamba bwayako. 9 Nokumweba ati, "Fyonse ifi ndekupela ngawamfukamina nokunsinsimuna."

10 Yesu amwaswike ukuti, "Kabiye uko, Kiwa! Kyalilembwa ukuti, ‘Ulesinsimuna Imfumu Lesa obe kabili ekafye eo ulepyungila.’"

11 Kiwa asile Yesu kabili nabamalaika baisile nokwisa mupyungila.
