Nambu Mfalisayu yula lepi, ndava muni kila mundu mweakujikwiha yati iheleswa na kila mundu mweakujihelesa yati ikwihiwa. 15 Vandu vangi vamletili Yesu vana vadebe muni avavikila mawoko na kuvamotisa. Vawuliwa vaki pevavawene vakavaywangila. 16 Nambu Yesu akavakemela na kujova, “Muvaleka vana vedebe vabwela kwangu, wala mkoto kuvabesa, muni unkosi wa Chapanga ndava ya vandu ngati venava. 17 Chakaka nikuvajovela, mundu yoyoha mwanga upokela Unkosi wa Chapanga ngati mwana mdebe, yati iyingila lepi muunkosi wenuwo.” 18 Mkolo vindu vyamahele mmonga Myawudi, amkotili Yesu, “Muwula mbwina, nikita wuli muni nipokela wumi wa magono goha?” 19 Yesu akamjovela, “Ndava kyani ukunikemela mbwina? Kawaka mweavimbwina nga Chapanga mwene. 20 Uyimanya mihilu ya Chapanga, ukoto kukita ugoni na ukoto kukoma na ukoto kuyiva na ukoto kujova ga udese vakitila gabwina dadi na nyina waku.” 21 Mwene akajova, “Genago goha nigakamwili kutumbula uwana wangu.” 22 Yesu peayuwini, akamjovela, “Yikugana wakona kukita chindu chimonga, gulisa kila chindu cheuvi nachu, vapela vangangu mashonga ago, ndi veve yati ukujivikila vindu vyaku kunani kwa Chapanga, kangi bwela unilandayi.” 23 Nambu mundu mwenuyo peayuwini genago, akavya ngolongondi neju ndava avi na vindu vyamahele. 24 Yesu peamuwene mundu mwenuyu avi ngolongondi akajova, “Yinonopa neju kwa vakolo vindu vyamahele kuyingila mu Unkosi wa Chapanga! 25 Muni yiyuyuka kwa hinyama yeyikemiwa ngamiya kuholota palibowo la sindanu, kuliku mweavi na vindu vyamahele kuyingila Muunkosi wa Chapanga.” 26 Vandu vevayuwini ago, vakakota, “Yani hinu, mweisanguliwa?” 27 Yesu akayangula, “Gangahotoleka kwa vandu, kwa Chapanga gihotoleka.” 28 Kangi Petili akamkota, “Na tete wuli? Tuvilekili vindu vyoha na kukulanda.” 29 Yesu akavajovela, “Chakaka nikuvajovela, mundu yoyoha mwaileki nyumba amala mdala waki amala mlongo amala dadi na nyina waki amala vana vaki ndava ya unkosi wa Chapanga, 30 Yati ipokela gamahele neju mulukumbi ulu lwa hinu, na wumi wa magono goha palusenje lwelubwela.” 31 Yesu akavakemela kuchiyepela vawuliwa vaki kumi na vavili, na kuvajovela, “Myuwanila!
