Niiye wadaakambila, "Wadaninyeka thokope mmaso, ni ine nidasamba ni saino nipenya"

16 Afalisayo wina adakamba, "Mundhu uyu siwachoka kwa Amnungu ndande siwagwila Thauko la Siku Lopumulila."

Nambho wina adakamba, "Mundhu wamachimo wakhoza bwanji kuchita vizindikilo ngati ivi?" Kudali ni mkangano pakati pao.

17 Adamfunjhanjho yujha wadali osapenya, "Iwe nde walamichidwa maso, ukamba bwanji kuusu iye?"

Nayo wadamkambila, "Iye mlosi"

18 Achogholeli wa Ayahudi sadakhulupilile kuti mundhu mmeneyo mmayambo wadali osapenya, ni chipano wapenya, mbaka yapo wadaatana obala wake. 19 Chimwecho, adaafunjha obala wake, "Bwanji, uyu nde mwana wanu uyo wadabadwa osapenya? Chipano wakhoza bwanji kupenya?"

24 Ndiipo, adamtananjho uyo wadali osapenya, adamkambila, "Apache Amnungu ulemelelo! Ife tijhiwa uyu ni mundhu wa machimo."

25 Iye wadaayangha, "Ngati wali ni machimo ine sinijhiwa. Icho nijhiwa ine nidali sapenya, chipano ni penya."

26 Ndiipo adamfunjha, "Wadakuchitila chiyani? Wadakuphenula bwanji masao yako?"

27 Mundhu mmeneyo wadayangha, "Nakukambilani, simufuna kunivela, bwanji mufuna kuvelanjho? Namwe mufuna kukhala ochatila wake?"

28 Nambho adamtukwana kokamba, "Iwe nde oyaluzidwa wake, ife oyaluzidwa Amusa. 29 Ife tijhiwa kuti Amnungu adakamba ni Musa, nambho sitijhiwa mundhu uyu wachokela kuti!"

30 Nayo wadaayangha, "Chindhu ichi ni chozwizwicha! Anyiimwe simujhiwa uko wachoka, nambho waniphenula maso yanga! 31 Tijhiwa kuti Amnungu saavechela wandhu a machimo, nambho amvechela waliyonjhe uyo waalambila ni kuchita yayo ayafuna iwo. 32 Kuyambila mmayambo mwa jhiko sikudavekelepo paliponjhe kuti kuli mundhu wamlamicha mundhu uyo wabadwa sapenya kupenya. 33 Ngati mundhu uyu siwadachoke kwa Amnungu, sawadakakhoza kuchita chilichonjhe."

34 Adamuyangha, "Iwe wabadwa uli ni machimo, ukhoza bwanji kutiyaluza ife?" Ndiipo adamtopola mnyumba ya komanilana Ayahudi.

35 Yesu yapo wadavela kuti adathomtopola mnyumba yo pezanilana Ayahudi, wadamfunjha, "Iwe umkhulupilila Mwana wa Mundhu?"

36 Mundhu yujha wadayangha, "Waakulu mnikambile iye niyani, nifuna kumkhulupila."

40 Afalisayo wina anyiyao adali pafupi nao adavela mawu yameneyo, adamfunjha, "Bwanji ife nafe achisapenya?"

41 Yesu wadayangha, "Ngati mudakalidi achisapenya, simdakali ni machimo, nambho chipano pakuti mkamba kuti, ‘Ife tipenya,’ imeneyo ilangiza kuti muli ni volakwa."
