21 Pacindi copeleco walabepusheti, “Nkabakute kufwekelela lampi mu mutanga, nambi kubika panshi pabulili, sena ncobakute kwinsa? Sena nkabakute kubika lampi pantangalala? 22 Paliya bintu byasolekwa, byeti bikabule kuyubululwa. Kayi paliya bintu byafwekwa byeti bikabule kufwekulwa. 23 Uyo ukute matwi anyumfwe!”

24 Yesu walambeti, “Shakoni mano kuli mbyomulanyumfunga. Mupimo ngomulapimininga banenu, munshila imo imo ne njamwe nibakamupimineko, cakubinga nibaka musankanishilepo. 25 Pakwinga uyo ukute bingi nakapewe bingi, nomba uyo ukuteko kang'ana, nambi kopelako nkalayeyengeti ukakute nibakamulamune.”

Nomba moshikute kukulila, nkakute kwinshibapo sobwe. 28 Bulongo pacabo bwine bukute kumenesha, mukuya kwa cindi ngala shikute kuboneka, kayi mukuya kwa cindi kukute kupula tubeshi, kumapwililisho kwakendi, inseke shakoma shikute kubamo. 29 bisepo byakoma ukute kubiyangula ne Jekesi, pakwinga cindi ca kutebula cilakwana.”

30 Yesu walabepusheti, “Inga Bwami bwa Lesa tubwelanishe necani? Nambi tubwambe mumukoshanyo ulyeconi? 31 Bulyeti kambuto ka masitadi, ako pa cindi ca kukabyala kakute kakali kang'ana pa mbuto shonse shakubyala sha pacishi ca panshi. 32 Nomba kabyalwa kakute kumena ne kukula kupita mbuto shonse sha matewu shili mulibala, kakute kuba ne misampi inene, cakwinseti bikeni bikute kupangilamo bisangala mulumfwile.”

33 Yesu walikukambaukila bantu mulumbe mumikoshanyo ingi yamushobowu, mbuli mobelela kukonsha kunyumfwila. 34 Cakubinga uliya kwambapo nabo ciliconse kwakubula mukoshanyo, nsombi beshikwiya bakendi bonka embwali kubapandulwila byonse babanga pa lubasu bonka.

35 Pa busuba bopelobo mansailo, Yesu walambila beshikwiya bakendi eti, “Katutampukilako kutala kwa lwenje.” 36 Neco balashiya likoto lya bantu, ne kutanta nendi mubwato mbwalikubamo, kayi palikuba mato ambi. 37 Pacindici kwalesa lukumpwe lunene lwa ngofu, neco mankape alatatika kuma ku bwato, palashala pang'ana kwambeti bwato bwibile. 38 Nsombi Yesu walikuba mu bwato kunyuma, kaliwona tulo kali watamina pa mutamino.

39 Walapashamuka ne kulucancilila lukupwe ne kulwambileti “Leka!” Kayi ne kwambila mankape, “Tontola!” Popelapo lukupwe lwalacileka, nawo mankape pa lwenje alamwena tonto. 40 Neco Yesu walabepusheti, “nicani ncemwabela ne buyowa bwa swaswalo? Sena mucili babula lushomo?”

41 Nsombi nabo balanyumfwa buyowa ne kutatika kwamba kuli umo ne munendi eti, Inga uyu “Niyani cakwinseti lukupwe ne mankape pa lwenje byonse bilamunyumfwilanga!”
