(Matei 19:16-30; Maliki 10:17-31)
18 Na mkulu yumwe wa Chiyahudi kamghutsa Yesu, “Mlangulitsi yunoghile, nitende choni ili nidahe kupata ughima wa matsuwa ghose?”
19 Yesu kamghutsa, “Mbona kwonikema ninogha? Kuduhu yanoghile lekeni Imulungu aliyeka. 20 Kwoghamanya ghamalaghitso. ‘Uleke utsinzi, uleke kukoma, uleke kulonga ughutsu, wategheletse aba wako na mai wako.’ ”
21 Kamwidika, “Agho ghose nighakinda kulawa udodo wangu.”

26 Awala iwahulike apfo waghutsa, “Lelo yuhi yodaha kukombolighwa?”
27 Yesu kedika, “Ichinu ing'achidahika kwe iwanu, kwe Imulungu chodahika.”
28 Kuya Petiri kalonga, “Lola! Twetwe tupfileka ipfinu pfetu pfose twokuwinza ghweghwe.”
29 Yesu kawalongela, “Nowalongela ghendo, imunu wowose iyalekile ing'anda yake au mwehe wake au iwandughu tsake au iwamweleke au iwanaghe kwaajili ya undewa we Imulungu, 30 katsobokela pfingi mna matsuwa agha, na ughima wa matsuwa ghose mne chipindi ichikutsa.”

(Matei 20:17-19; Maliki 10:32-34)
31 Yesu tsakawasola awala kumi na weli kawalongela, “Mlole! Twoghenda Yerusalemu, na chila chinu chandikighwe na manabii che Imwana we Imunu chitsolawila. 32 Kwaapfila katsakwikighwa mne ghamoko ghe iwanu iwali si Wayahudi bae. Nawo watsombetsa, watsomligha, watsombwalulila ghamate, 33 watsomfapula pfiboko, kuya watsomkoma. Mne litsuwa lya kadatu katsotsilihuka.”
34 Lekeni iwanang'ina ng'awamanyile bae ichinu acho. Tsawapfisighwa mana ye imbuli ayo, na ng'awatangile ighalongighwe.
