10 Abaho wanahina zake wamcholela Yesu wamuuza, "Habali kolonga na wanhu kwa simo?"
11 Yesu kawedika, "Mweye mumweda kuzijuwa mbuli zifisigwe za Undewa wa kuulanga, lakini kumwao awo haili vivo. 12 Kwavija munhu yoyose yeli na kinhu kokongezelwa ng’hani, lakini ija yeliduhu kinhu kobokigwa hata kija kidodo kiyeli nacho. 13 Kilamuso cha kulonga kwa simo, muladi walole lakini sekewone, na wategeleze lakini sekewahulike hebu kujuwa. 14 Avo kilawilile kiyalongile mtula ndagu wa Mulungu Isaya,
‘Kutegeleza motegeleza, lakini honda mujuwe bule,
kulola molola, lakini hamona bule.
15 Kwavija mizoyo ya wanhu wano midala,
na magwiti gao hagahulika vinogile,
na wafing’hiliza meso gao.
Buleavo, meso gao gahalolile,
magwiti gao gahahulike,
nzewele zao zahajuwile,
na wahanibwelele niye, Mulungu kolonga,
na niye nahawahonyile.’"
16 Yesu kalonga kabili, "Lakini mweye mumweda! Kwavija meso genu golola na magwiti genu gohulika. 17 Nowalongeleni ukweli, watula ndagu bwando wa Mulungu na wanhu bwando wa Mulungu walonda ng’hani kugona gaja gomona mweye, lakini hawagonile bule, hebu kuhulika gaja gomuhulika mweye, lakini hawahulike bule.
Yesu kofambula lusimo lwa munhu yohanda
