¹ Nzako kalezvi, Jesu ufambile Galeliya, himaka yaku angalavi akufambela a Judeya, himaka yaku ama Juda amalava kumu dlaya. ² A thlango wama Judayika ya Tabercaculo auhi kusihani. ³ Vamubwelile ku, saka, avamakwenu vawena: "Txika ndau leyi, ufamba a Judeya, hikwalaho ava landzeli vawena katavona amuchumu ungayi maha, ⁴ Hiku kuhava amahaku achumu achuhundleniloko nalava kutiviwa ka nanhu . Loko umaha muchumu leyi tikombekise ka Chitsungu". ⁵ kambe nambi vamakwenu vakwe avangatsembi kayena. ⁶ Hikwalaho Jesu angavabwela aku: "Akama wamina ausofika, kambe a kama wanwina utsama uhikona. ⁷ Achitsungu chingamuzondi, mara vazonda mina, hiku mina nafakaza ku mutirho yavona ibihile. ⁸ Kwelani a tlangweni nwina. Mina anikweli hiku akama wamina ausokufika kazvezvi. ⁹ Loko avabwelile amuchumu leyi, yena uyalile na tsamile a Galeliya. ¹⁰ Kahikwazvo, loko vamakwenu vayena va kwelile a tlangweni, nayenavo ukwelile; kungahi kaku voneka , kambe achihundleni. ¹¹ Amajuda avamulava athlangweni, navaku: "yena ule kwihi?". ¹² Kachitsungu, akuhinama vonele yakutala himaka ya yena.

Vanwani navaku: "yena wanuna wakahle"; vanwanu navaku: "hayi, yena uhembele achitsungu".

¹³ Nambizvihitano, kuhava angakhuluma kakubasa himaka yakwe, hiku chava amajuda. ¹⁴ Kama atlango ungahi phakati, Jesu ukwelile a tepeleni a sungula akufundisa . ¹⁵ Lezvi, amajuda mahlamalile, navaku: "munhu loyi utivanjani amatsalwa?". ¹⁶ Jesu ahlamula: "aufundisi gamina aigamina, mara ga loyi anganirhuma. ¹⁷ Loko munhu alava akuendla akulava kayena, utativa afundiso wa yena, hiku lezvi zvita hika Chikwembu, oro mina nikhuluma nimina hinoche. ¹⁸ Loyi akhulumaku hiyena yeche ulava atsako, mara chinxhini chitecaku a tsako kaloyi angarhumiwa, lezvi yitiso, ende kuhava akutsaka kayena. ¹⁹ Ani Mozisi angamunyika anhayu? hambi lezvi kuhava naunwe aumahaku, himaka muni ulava kunidlaya?". ²⁰ Achitsungu chuthlamula: "Una dimoni, nimani alavaku kukudlaya?". ²¹ Jesu avahlamula na aku: "Mina nimahile atirho unwe, ende kahikwenu muhlamalile lezvi.

²² Mozisi umunyikile akutsemiwa asuvokungahi ku zvita hika Mozisi, azwihi hikavanu himugivela utsemile asuvo wanuna munwe. ²³ Loko wanuna a tsemiwe asuvo himugivela, aku a nayu wa Mozisi ungahluliwi, lezvi ukwatile hilezvi ninga hanyisa wanuna zvingakwanana himugivela? ²⁴ Mungatongi hilezvi zvivonekaku, kambe tongani zvingahelela". ²⁵ Vanwani va Jerusalema avaku: "Ahiyena loyi vamulavaku akudlaya? ²⁶ hiyena ke , khuluma kungabasa, ende kuhava ato bala. Aku amasocha mamutiva aku hiyena Krist?" ²⁷ Hazvitiva aku yena wakwihi, mara loko Krist avuya, kuhava atozvitiva aku wakwihi yena". ²⁸ kwalaho, Jesu uthlakusile a rhiti athepeleni, na fundisa nayaku: "Nwina manitiva ende mazvitiva aku niwakwihi; aniti hika mina hinoche, mara loyi anganirhuma wa tiso, ende nwina amumutivi.

²⁹ Mina namutiva hiku nita hika yena ende unirhumile". ³⁰ Saka vona avalava akumuboha, mara kuhava anga faka avoko lakwe himaka yaku akama wayena aungaso fika. ³¹ Kambe lava vakutala ka chutsungu vatsenga kayena. Vona navaku: "Loko Krist avuya, utamaha azvikombekiso zvaku awanuna angazvi maha?" ³² Ava Farisi vathule chutsungu nava khulumela ahasi hizvilo lezvi hiti maha ta Jesu, ende prisita vavakulu nava Farisi varumelile amaphorisa kuya vamukhoma. ³³ Kambe Jesu avabwela: "Nahi nanwina ka kama utsongwani, kambe niya kaloyi anganirhuma. ³⁴ Mutanilava, kambe amungatani kuma lenu niyaku kona, amungatakukota kuya". ³⁵ Himaka yaleyo amajuda mangabwelana namaku: " wanuna loyi ulakuya kwihi, Hitokala hingamukumi ? Ulava kuya kalava vanga lathleka kava hedeni, aku ayafundisa amagrego ke? ³⁶ Gi bala kuyini arithi legi angagi khuluma: 'mutani lava kambe amungatanikuma; lenu niyaku kona, mungataku kota kuya'?". ³⁷ Kufika ka siku gakuhetisela, siku ga hombe gatsako, Jesu unyime aku kavona: "Loko munhu ahi na torha, ayate kamina uta phuza. ³⁸ Loyi atsembaku kamina, kuya hilezvi mabalaku amatsalwa, aphakati kayena kutahumelela amukova ya mati". ³⁹ Yena ukhulumile lezvi hitimaka ta moya , ungatanyikiwa lava vatotsemba kayena; amoya aungasova kona, hiku Jesu angaso kulisiwa. ⁴⁰ Vanwani phakati kachutsungu, kama vangatha amarhiti lawa vate; "inphela loyi muphorofita". ⁴¹ Vanwani vaku: "Loyi ni Krist".
