Kwavija munhu yoyose yokiinula mwenyego kohumuluswa, na ija yoihumulusa mwenyego kokwinuligwa.” 15 Wanhu wamgalila Yesu wana zao wadodo yawekile makono yawamoteze.

Haduhu munhu yanogile ila Mulungu yeiyeka. 20 Kuzitanga ndagizi? ‘Sambiutende ugoni, sambiukome, sambiwibe, sambiulave usindila wa uvwizi, wahishimile tataako na mamaako.’ ” 21 Ija imunhu kalonga, “Gano gose nigatenda songela ning'hali mdodo.” 22 Yesu viyahulike gano kamulongela, “Kusigaza kinhu kimwe chuulondigwa kutenda. Guza vinhu vose vuulinavo na zihela uwagwelele wakumbulu, avo kowa na ngama kuulanga, abaho, wize ung'holeleze.” 23 Ila munhu ija viyahulike gaja, kanyunguala ng'hani kwavija kakala na mali bwando. 24 Yesu kamulola, abaho kalonga, “Vino vivo vondaviwe vidala wagoli kwingila Muundewa wa Mulungu! 25 Vibuha ngamia kubita mkizonzo cha shindano kubanza mgoli kwingila Muundewa wa Mulungu.” 26 Wanhu wagahulike gano wamuuza, “Avo yalihi basi yondayadahe kukomboligwa?” 27 Yesu kawalongela, “Gaja hagadahika mwa wanhu ha Mulungu godahika.” 28 Abaho, Petulo kamulongela, “Lola! Tweye tuleka vinhu vetu vose, tukukweleleza gweye.” 29 Yesu kawalongela, “Nowalongela ikweli, munhu yoyose yalekile kae ama mtwanzi wake ama wandugu ama watata na wamama ama wana sama ya Undewa wa Mulungu, 30 kobokela vinhu bwando ng'hani mkipigiti kino, na kubokela ugima wa digunge mkipigiti kikwiza.” 31 Yesu kawagala wanahina zake longo dimwe na wabili hamgwazo, kawalongela, “Tegelezeni!
