Lino bantu balikuba mung'anda balanyumfwa bwema bwamafutayo. 4 Nomba Yuda Isikalioti, umo wa beshikwiya baYesu, uyo panyuma pakendi walamuyaba kubalwani bakendi, walambeti, 5 “Nomba nicani mafuta awa uliya kwaulisha mali a muwayawaya akwana 300 kwambeti apewe kubantu bapenga?” 6 Uku nkakwalikuba kwambeti usuni bapenga sobwe, nsombi pacebo cakwambeti walikuba kabwalala.

Nsombi Yesu mpwalapunduka nebulemu, empobalanuka kwambeti ibi byalembwa muMabala byalikwamba endiye, nekwambeti balamwinshila bintu ibi. 17 Bantu balikuba neYesu mpwalakuwa Lazaro mumanda nekumupundusha kubafu nabo balapitilisha kwamba pabintu mbyobalabona. 18 Ecebo cakendi bantu ncebalayilakukumana nendi, pakwinga balanyumfwa ceshikukankamanisha ncalensa. 19 Popelapo Bafalisi balatatika kwambilaneti, “Bonani afwe paliya ncetulenshinga, pakwinga bantu bonse balafwambilinga kulyendiye.” 20 Nomba kwalikuba Bagiliki nabambi pakati pabantu balaya kuYelusalemu akupaila pacindi cakusekelela. 21 Ba Giliki balayakubona Filipo, waku Betisaida muGalileya. Balamusengeti, “nkambo tulayandanga kubona Yesu.” 22 Filipo walambila Ndileya, bonse babili balaya akwambila Yesu. 23 Yesu walambeti, “Cilashiki cindi cakwambeti Mwana Muntu atambule bulemu bwakendi. 24 Kwamba cakubinga, imbuto ya witi yabula kubyalwa mubulongo nekufwa ikute kaili imo imo. Nomba yafukilwa, ikute kukula nekusema bisepo bingi. 25 Muntu usuni buyumi bwakendi, nakabutaye, nsombi uyo utabusuni buyumi bwakendi mucishi cino nakapewe buyumi butapu. 26 Muntu layandanga kunsebensela, ankonkele, kwambeti musebenshi wakame akabe nenjame kulikonse nkotinkabenga.

Nomba sobwe, pakwinga encondaleshila. 28 Bata kamulemekani Lina lyenu.” Popelapo kwalanyumfwika Maswi kwilu akwambeti, “ndalilemeke, kayi nimpitilishe kulilemeka.” 29 Lino likoto linene lyabantu mpolyalanyumfwa maswi awo, balambeti, “Nimukunkumo wa mfula.” Nomba nabambi balambeti, “Nimungelo wambanga nendi.” 30 Yesu walabambileti, “Maswi aliyakunyumfwika pacebo ca Njame sobwe, nsombi nakumunyamfwa. 31 Lino ecindi cakwambeti cishi capanshi comboloshewe.
