16 «Omukoli mʉmbere mwahika mwanegena athɨ: "Nyinya-kowethʉ, ekɨtsere wambaga mokyathʉndire bɨndɨ bɨtsere ikumi." 17 Nyinya-kowabo mwamʉbwɨra athɨ: "Wamakola! Ʉlɨ mukoli mʉbʉya. Kʉshangwa mowabya w'iyinihirwa kʉ bɨndʉ bɨke nyamakʉha maka w'ɨthegeka miyi ikumi."

28 Mo ndambi Yesʉ abere amamala ɨnegena ebɨnwa ebyo, mwalola ebʉshondotsɨ mo lʉgendo lʉwe lw'erɨrʉkɨra ɨYerʉsalemʉ nɨalɨ embere s'omuhindano. 29 Mwahika hofɨ n'omuyi w'ɨBetefake na w'ɨBetanɨa, ko mʉnda w'ekɨthwa ky'eMiseituni. Mwathʉma babɨrɨ b'oko bɨga bʉwe n'ɨbwɨrabo athɨ: 30 «Mʉgende mo muyi owalɨ embere senyu. Mwabya mwahika mʉwo, mweyamo kyana kya pʉnda kihangire ekyo kɨthahera kyathikalwako na mʉndʉ.

32 Abɨga bobathʉmawa mobagenda. Mobeya emyatsɨ nɨyɨnalɨ ng'oko Yesʉ athabwɨrabo. 33 Babere banemʉhangʉla ekyana ky'epʉnda ekyo, abenyekyo mobabʉtsyabo bathɨ: «Imwe! Bʉshana na ki omʉhangʉla ekyana ky'epʉnda ekyo?» 34 Mobashʉbɨtsyabo bathɨ: «Nyinya-kowethʉ alayire kʉkyo.»

35 Honyuma kw'aho mobalethera Yesʉ y'ekyana ky'epʉnda ekyo.

39 Bafarisayo bagʉma bo babyaga mo muhindano w'abandʉ mobabwɨra Yesʉ bathɨ: «Mʉkangɨrɨtsya, kemera abɨga bawe batsɨre.» 40 Yesʉ mwabwɨrabo athɨ: «Enyɨbabwɨra aba bamahʉlɨkɨrɨra, nɨ amabwe nɨ ɨwo ahambala!»

41 Yesʉ abere ahika hofɨ n'omuyi w'ɨYerʉsalemʉ na abere ashʉnga kʉwo, mwalɨrɨrawo. 42 Mwanegena athɨ: «Munobwire wangaminyire ekyangakʉlethere obʉholo!

45 Yesʉ mwɨngɨra mo mbʉga y'eNyʉmba ya Gongo, abere ahikamo mwathanga iligitha bo bagenda abahingania. 46 Mwabwɨrabo athɨ: «Bishakirwe mo Mashako Abuyirire bɨthɨ: "Enyʉmba aye yandabya nyʉmba y'ɨnyɨshabɨramo." He imwe mwayiriremo kabishamo k'abashamuli!*»
