1 Nezhuba lyatatu kwakaba namabhiko kuKana muGalili, akale amai baJesu bakabelipo. 2 Jesu nabalayijwa babe, bakaba bakokwa kumabhiko okulobolana. 3 Iwaini payakapela, amai baJesu bakati kwaali, "abachina iwaini."

4 Jesu wakati kwabali, "Imwi mai, zwinani nami yezwi? Unshaji wangu aujanu waswika." 5 Amai babe bakati kubashingi, "Itani zwose zwaachamubuja." 6 Pakalepo, kwakaba kuli imbiya jamabwe ishanu nemwempela, jikabigwa yopo, jili jabaJuda songalilo wabo pakuchenesa, imwe neimwe inyamula malita angaba izana. 7 Jesu wakati kubashingi, "Izhajani imbiya nevula." Bakajizhaja imbiya kuti fwampi. 8 Wakati kwabali, "Ngweno tekani imwe musenge kuntungamili wamabhiko." Nezwo bakasenga. 9 Untungamili wamabhiko paakalabila ivula, yakababa iwaini. Aajakaziba kuti yava kupi (kojoba bashingi bakabateka ivula bakabezwiziba). Untungamili wamabhiko wakashoba undoboli, 10 akati kwaali, "Unhu wose unosotanga apa iwaini imbuya, kooti kana banhu banwa basungunuka, ndipo pakunobuzwa iwaini imbi, asi imwi mwalondota iwaini imbuya kujine kube ngweno."

11 Yechi chitondejelo chotanga chakatiwa naJesu kuKana muGalili. Wakatondejela lukujo lulwe, balayijwa babe bakadimbwa mwaali.

12 Mushule mwezwo wakenda kuKapenaume namai babe nabanakwaina babe nabalayijwa babe, yoko bakanogala mazhuba mashoma.

13 Miliya yePasika yabaJuda yakababa pelyo akale Jesu wakenda kuJelusalema. 14 Mutempeli wakawana yabo baluba betengesa ingombe, imhwizi, inkwilimba nabanochincha imali beligele pamatebuli abo. 15 Wakakosha iswipu yoluji, akabatata bose mutempeli, nemhwizi, nengombe jabo, akatataula imali yaabo baluchincha imali, akapindimula matebuli abo. 16 Wakabuja yabo bakabetengesa inkwilimba kuti, "Bhisani zwinhu yezwi yopa, musite ingumba yaTate bangu ibe ingumba yokutengesela." 17 Balayijwa babe bakalangalila kuti kwakabakakwalwa kuti, "Kusungwalila ingumba iyo kuchandilya moyo."

18 BaJuda bakati kwaali, "Ngechipi chitondejelo chaungatitondeje kuti ini uta yezwi?" 19 Jesu wakabashandula akati, "Kolomolani itempeli yeli, asi mumazhuba matatu ndolibakulula kabili."

20 BaJuda kova beti, "Kwakatola makole makumi mana ana mashanu nelimwempela kuti kubakwe itempeli yeli, asi ungalibaka mumazhuba matatu na?"

21 Koga iye itempeli lyaakabeleba umbili uwe. 22 Nezwo paakamuswa kubafi balayijwa babe bakakumbulukwa kuti wakabazwileba yezwi akale bakadimbwa mundebo nomumawhi akalebwa naJesu.

23 Ngweno paakabeli muJelusalema kumiliya yePasika, banji bakadimbwa munaiye pabakabona zwitondejelo zwaakata, 24 koga Jesu aajakabimba nabo, nokuti waluziba bunhu bwabanhu, 25 nezwo aajakabeda busumikiji bonhu, nokuti iye waluziba zwaluba zwili munhu.
