Yesu kanguwapa chilyo wanhu wenji
(Malichi 6:30-44; Lukasi 9:10-17; Yohana 6:1-14)
13 Yesu loyahuliche mbuli ayo, nakoka honhu hala kwa itumbwi, nakaluta honhu hanji hawele hela wanhu. Ila wanhu nawahulika mbuli, wamuwinza kwa magulu kulawa mujini.
14 Lelo loyeduliche kumwani, nakona lung'hongola lwa wanhu, nakawonela isungu, kawosela matamwa watamwa wa hewo.
15 Loifichile matinazo, walanguswa wa heye wamlutila wamlonjela, “Honhu aha twa kisolo, na saa za nemisi zipuluta. Lelo uwalaje wanhu walute kuli vijiji wakagombole chilyo.”
16 Yesu nakawalonjela, “Haiwaganile kuluta, muwape hemwe chilyo.”
17 Ila hewo nawamlonjela, “Twanajo mibumunda jihano na somba mbili hela.”

(Malichi 6:45-52; Yohana 6:15-21)
22 Baho, Yesu nakawalajiza walanguswa wa heye wakwine mli itumbwi, wamlongole kumwambu mwa ilamba mhela heye yowalaga wanhu.
23 Loyewelajile wanhu, kakwina kuchidunda nayali yeka kulanda. Loiwele nemisi, heye nayali ako yaliyeng'ha,
24 na mhela awo lila itumbwi nalyali kutali na misanga nalifika habehi na hagati mwa ilamba, ila nalyali ligaya kwa vila mbeho nayali iuhilusa.
25 Nechilo, behi na kubwemwenzuka, Yesu nakawawinza walanguswa yojenda mchanya mmazi.
26 Walanguswa wa heye lowamuwene yojenda mchanya mmazi nawadumba ng'hatu, nawalonga, “Idimu!” Nawatowa iyowe kwa kudumba.
27 Baho, Yesu nakalonga na hewo, “Msindamale, nda heni. Mleche kudumba!”
28 Petili nakamlonjela, “Mkulu, wone uli hegwe, undajize njende mchanya mmazi mbuye kwa hegwe.”
29 Yesu nakalonga, “Ena uye.” Lelo Petili nakadulika kulawa kuli lila itumbwi, nakajenda mchanya mmazi, nakamlutila Yesu.
30 Ila loyawene ila mbeho, nakadumba, nakaluka kudidimila, nakalila kwa lizi lya kuchanya, “Mkulu, undohole.”

32 Hamba nawakwina mli itumbwi, na mbeho inyamalila.
33 Weng'ha nawawele mgati mwa itumbwi nawamfugamila, walonga, “Tukomya hegwe ndo Mwana wa Nguluwi.”
