Alimwi mulachita zintu zyiingi zili mbuli eezyo."

17 Jesu kali wasiya makamu abantu wakunjila muŋanda, mpawo basikwiiya bakwe bakamubuzya atala achikozyano eechi. 18 Wakati kulimbabo, "Anu mulibafubafuba na? Tamubwene na kuti taakwe chinjila mumuntu chili kunze chinga chilamusofwaazya, 19 mbukunga tachinjili mumoyo wakwe pesi mubula biyo, mpawo chazwa aanze." (Mukwaamba oobu, Jesu wakasalazya zyakulya zyoonse.)

20 Wakeendelela anembo kaamba kuti, "Chizwa mumuntu nchiichita kuti asofwaale. 21 Nkaambo mukati, kamyoyo yabantu, muzwa mizeezo mibi, buyangwe, kubba, bujayi, bwaamu, 22 butangazu, luuni, lweeno, malali, ibbivwe, kusinga, kulipunayizya abufubafuba. 23 Zibi eezi zyoonse zizwa mumoyo nzisofwaazya muntu."

Wakakumbila Jesu kuti atande muuya mubi uzwe kumwana wakwe musimbi.

27 Jesu wakati kulinguwe, "Lutaanzi leka bana balye zyoonse nzibayanda, nkaambo tachili chibotu pe kubweza chakulya chabana mpawo usoweele bankala."

28 Wakamuvwiila wati, "Iiyi Mwami, pesi alabo bankala balabwezelela bufwefwelenge bulosegwa abana munsi lyatebuli!"

29 Mpawo wakamwaambila kuti, "Mbwasandula oobo, kuya biyo, muuya mubi wazwa kale mumwana wako musimbi!"

30 Eelyo wakabweeda kuŋanda wajana mwana ulilede abulo, muuya mubi kuuli wazwa kale.
