1 Yesu wakamilika muhango iyeyo akayenda kuhango yeJudiya seli yaJorodani. Mabunga ebanhu akahha kakale kuwunli; segala kukwe, wakabadiya.

2 Bamwe baFarisi bakahha kuwunli bekawunlika nembhuzo beti, "Kumunlayo kuti nlume alambane nenkadzi uwe?"

3 Wakabahandula eti, "Mozisi wakamulaya etini?"

4 Bakahandula beti, "Mozisi wakabvumila kuti nlume akwalile nkadzi lukwalo gwelambana awuntate."

5 Koga Yesu wakati kubali, "Ngentha yebukukutu gwemimoyo yenyu wakamukwalila nlayo iwhoyu, 6 Koga kubvila kutangisa, ‘Ndzimu wakabathama wetjilume newetjikadzi.’ 7 ‘Ngentha yayikoku nlume unowhosiya tatayi namayi akanamatilana nenkadzi uwe, 8 kakale bubili gwabo banowhoba nyama in'ompela.’ Ndizo abatjibabili, batjiba nyama in'ompela. 9 Tjabhatshanyiwa neNdzimu, kusibe nenhu unotjipalalanya."

10 Batjibe mun'umba, badiyiwa bakabhuzwa Yesu kakale nekwendebo iyeyi. 11 Wakahandula eti, "Kene yani unolambana nenkadzi uwe, etola umwe nkadzi, unothama bupombgwe kuwunli. 12 Nenkadzi unolambana nenlume uwe, etogwa newumwe nlume, unothama bupombgwe nawe."

13 Banhu baka behhisa bana batjetjana kunaYesu kuti ababhate. Badiyiwa babe bakabatjemela. 14 Yesu ekubona ikoku, wakamon'wa. Akati kubali, "Bvumilani bana bahhe kundili, musibadzibise, ngobe bumambo gweNdzimu ndegwebakajali. 15 Lebeswa ndoti kumuli, kene yani usingowhowamutjila bumambo gweNdzimu semwana ntjetjana atowhogungina." 16 Wakabaguga, akabakombolela ebabiga maboko.

17 Wakati eyenda muzila, umwe nlume akawuntihhilila akaswika epfigama mbeli kukwe, eti, "Ndhiyi wakalulama, ini tjandingathama kudze ndiwamutjile butjilo gusingapele?"

18 Yesu wakawun'handula eti, "Nentha yeni unditi ndakalulama? Akuna wakalulama kuhhe kweNdzimu koga. 19 Noyiziba milayo inoti. ‘Usibulaye, Usite bupombgwe, Usikhwibe, Usipe buswupi gwemanyepwa, Usitjebele, Lemekedza meyabo natate babo.’ "

20 Wakawun'handula eti, "Ndhiyi, yose iyeyi ndakayitobela kubvila nditjintjetjana."

21 Yesu wakawunlinga akawundha. Akati kuwunli, "Notayila netjinhu tjin'ompela; yenda unotengesa kose kwawunako, upe bahayi, nowhoba nefumwa kudzimu; ukotjibuya, unditobele." 22 Matama iyawa akawumpedza masimba. Wakayenda ana buyendasi mumoyo ngobe waka anafumwa njinji.

23 Yesu wakatjebuka akati kubadiyiwa babe, "Kolema seni kuti bakafuma bangine mubumambo gweNdzimu!"

24 Badiyiwa bakatjenamisiwa nematama awe. Koga Yesu wakati kakale kubali, "Bana bangu, kobalemela seni ibabo banogalabgwe mufumwa kuti bangine mubumambo gweNdzimu! 25 Kulelulelu kuti kamela lipalame muhuli yelunji pana kuti mfumi angine mubumambo gweNdzimu."

26 Badiyiwa bakatjenama kwazo, bakabhuzwana beti, "Ngono ndiyani ungatjidziwa?"

27 Yesu wakabalinga akati kubali, "Nenhu akutoyetika, koga kusini neNdzimu; ngobe neNdzimu, zwinhu zose zoyetika."

28 Phethiro wakati kuna Yesu, "Bonani, iswi takasiya kose tikatobela imwi."

29 Yesu wakahandula eti, "Lebeswa ndoti kumuli, akuna nhu wakasiya nzi kene bakuluyi kene banun'una kene hazwadzi kene mayi kene tatayi kene bana kene minda, nentha yangu neyendebo mbuya, 30 usingowhowamutjila kwakapamhiwa ka gulu ngwenuwali mulubaka igogu, mizi nebakuluyi nebanun'una nedzihazwadzi nabome nebana nedziminda, kose nedziyidziwa, nebutjilo gusingapele mutjibaka tjinohha. 31 Koga banjinji bekutanga banowhoba bebupelo; nebebupelo banowhoba bekutanga."

32 Bakabelimuzila beyenda kuJerusalema, bakatungamigwa naYesu; badiyiwa bakatjenama, bakabetobela bakabehla. Wakatola kakale baligumi nebabili akama nabo ntome akatangisa babudza nekunowhoyetikala kuwunli, 33 eti kubali, "Whililani, toyenda kuJerusalema; Nkololo wenhu unowhotugwa kubaphirisiti bakulu nebakwali. Bakawuntongela bulawa kakale banowhowuntula kuBataya; 34 banowhowunkuwelela, bakawumpfila, bakawunloba, kakale banowhowumbulaya; hule kwemahhuba matatu unowhomuka."

35 Kwakahha kuwunli Jakobe naJohane, bakololo baZebhedi, bakati kuwunli, "Ndhiyi, toyemula kuti mutiyetile kene ini tjatinokumbila."

36 Wakababhuzwa eti, "Moyemula kuti ndimuyetileni?"

37 Bakahandula beti, "Mutibvumile tigale umwe kuludli, umwe kulumehwe, mugudzo lenyu."

38 Koga Yesu wakahandula eti, "Amutoziba tjamunokumbila. Mungan'wa nkombe wandinon'wa kene mungabvubikiwa nezila yandinowhobvubikiwa ndiyo?"

39 Bakati kuwunli, "Totubula."

Yesu akati kubali, "Mowhon'wa nkombe wandinowhon'wa; kakale mowhobvubikiwa bvubikiwa kwandinowhobvubikiwa ndiko, 40 koga kwegala kuludli gwangu kene kulumehwe gwangu akuta imi unokubvumila; koga ndekwayibabo kwakwaka baakanyigwa."

41 Bamwe baligumi bakati bekuwha bakagwadziligwa Jakobe naJohane. 42 Yesu wakabadana, akati kubali, "Moziba kuti ibabo bakafanila tonga Bataya banobatshambidzila; nebanobatungamila banohingisa masimba pehhugwi kwabo. 43 Koga akuzofanila kuti kujalo kumuli; koga kene yani unowhoba nkulu pakati kwenyu wakafanila ba n'hingi wenyu; 44 kakale unohaka kuti abe wekutanga pakati kwenyu wakafanila kuti abe nlanda wayibo bose. 45 Ngobe kene iye Nkololo wenhu haazohhila kuti awhohingigwa, koga wakahhila whohingila nepa butjilo gugwe kuti gube tjibhayilo tjebanjinji."

46 Bakaswika kuJerikho. Kwakati Yesu nebadiyiwa babe kose negubungano lebanhu gulugulu bebhuda muJerikho, umwe nlume webhofu unoyi Bhathimewusi, nkololo waThimewusi, waka aligele ntome kwezila ekumbila lubhatsho, 47 paakati ewha kuti ndiYesu weNazaretha akatangisa mimila eti, "Yesu, Nkololo waDavida, mundiwhile ngoni!"

48 Banhu banjinji bakawuntjemela bakawumbva kuti anyalale, koga wakayendilambeli emimilila pehhugwi kwazo eti, "Nkololo waDavida, mundiwhile ngoni!"

49 Yesu wakama akati, "Muwundhaneni."

Ndizo bakalidana ilelo bhofu beti kulili, "Iba netjilopa; milika, unokudana!"

50 Lakalahila kutjena ngubo yalo, likapapadzuka likayenda kuna Yesu.

51 Yesu wakati kulili, "Unohaka kuti ndikutileni?"

Bhofu lakahandula liti, "Rabhi, ndohaka kuti ndibone."

52 Yesu wakati kuwunli, "Tjiyenda, galamoyo kuko kwakuthama ukanaya."

Tjinyolotjo wakabva apofunuka, akatobela Yesu muzila.
