1 Mafalisayo na Masadukayo wamcholela Yesu, wamgeza mkumulonda yawalagusile kilaguso kulawa kuulanga. 2 Yesu kawedika, “Ihavika ichungulo, molonga, ‘Kowa na mchesa, kwavija ulanga mdung'hu.’ 3 Na imitondo molonga, ‘Lelo kowa na mvula, kwavija ulanga una udung'hu na utitu.’ Mweye movitanga kuzuza vinhu vikoneka kuulanga, ila hamudahile kuzuza vilaguso va vipigiti vino! 4 Mulelo wihile na uleka kumtamanila Mulungu! Wolonda kilaguso! Ila hawagweleligwa kilaguso, ila kilaguso cha muhokozi Yona.”
Abaho, Yesu kawaleka, kachola.
