¹Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Usingapindi napamukova mudanga remakwai, asi unokwira nekumwe, ndiye mbavha negororo.

¹"Phenav tumenge o chachimos, kodo kai chi del pa wudar ande shtala le bakriangi, numa kai anklel pa kaver rig, si ek chor ai nasul manush.

²Zvino unopinda nepamukova mufudzi wemakwai.

²Numa kodo kai avel pa wudar si o pastuxo le bakriango.

³Murindi wemukova unomuzarurira, nemakwai anonzwa inzwi rake, uye unodana makwai ake nezita, nekuatungamirira kunze.

³Phutren o wudar angla leste, ai le bakria ashunen lesko glaso, ai akharel leske bakrorhen pa anaveste, ai ingerel le avri.

⁴Uye kana abudisa makwai ake, unoatungamirira; nemakwai anomutevera, nekuti anoziva inzwi rake.

⁴Kana ankaladia avri sa peske bakrorhan, phirel angla lende, ai le bakriorha zhan pala leste, ke prinzharen lesko glaso.

⁵Asi mweni haangatongomuteveri, asi anomutiza; nekuti haazivi inzwi revaeni.

⁵Chi zhana pala iek streino; numa nashena dur lestar, ke chi prinzharena o glaso le streinosko."

⁶Jesu wakareva dimikira iri kwavari; asi ivo havana kunzwisisa, kuti zvinhui zvaakataura kwavari.

⁶O Jesus phendia lenge kadia paramichi, numa chi haliarde pa soste delas duma.

⁷Zvino Jesu akati kwavarizve: Zvirokwazvo, zvirokwazvo, ndinoti kwamuri: Ini ndiri mukova wemakwai;

⁷O Jesus mai phendia lenge, "Phenav tumenge o chachimos, me sim o wudar le bakriango.

⁸vose vakanditangira kuuya imbavha nemakororo, asi makwai haana kuvanzwa.

⁸Sa le kaver kai avile mai anglal mandar si chor ai nasul manush, numa le bakrorha chi ashunde lenge.

⁹Ini ndiri mukova; kana munhu achipinda neni, uchaponeswa, uchapinda nekubuda, nekuwana mafuro.

⁹Me sim o wudar. Kon avela andre mandar, avela skepime; dela andre ai anklela avri, ai arakhela ek kimpo kai si char (arakhel xabe).

¹⁰Mbavha haiuyi asi kungozoba nekuuraya nekuparadza; ini ndakauya, kuti vave neupenyu, uye vave nezvinopfachukira.

¹⁰O chor avel ferdi te chorel, te mudarel, ai te pharhavel; me avilem te avel le manushen o traio, ai te avel len but traio ando mishtimos.

¹¹Ini ndiri mufudzi wakanaka. Mufudzi wakanaka unoradzikira pasi makwai ake upenyu hwake.

¹¹"Me sim o lasho pastuxo. O lasho pastuxo del pesko traio pala peske bakriorha.

¹²Asi muricho, usati ari mufudzi, makwai asati ari ake pachake, unoona bumhi richiuya, akasiya makwai, ndokutiza; bumhi rinoabata, nekuparadzira makwai.

¹²O buchari (o manush pochindo) kai nai o pastuxo, ai nai leske le bakriorha, nashel kana dikhel ke avel o ruv, ai o ruv lel len ai rhespil len.

¹³Muricho unotiza nekuti muricho, uye haana hanya nemakwai.

¹³Wo nashel ke si o buchari kai si pochindo, ai chi lel sama andal bakriorha.

¹⁴Ini ndiri mufudzi wakanaka, uye ndinoziva angu, ndinozikamwa neangu,

¹⁴Me sim o lasho pastuxo. Zhanav murhe bakrorhan, ai won zhanen man.

¹⁵Baba sezvavanondiziva, saizvozvo neni ndinoziva Baba; zvino ndinoradzikira pasi makwai upenyu hwangu.

¹⁵Sar O Dat zhanel man, ai me zhanav le Dades. Me zhanav murhe bakriorhan ai won zhanen man; ai me dav murho traio pala murhe bakriorha.

¹⁶Nemamwe makwai ndinawo, asati ari edanga rino. Naiwo ndinofanira kuuya nawo, achanzwa inzwi rangu; uye rive boka rimwe mufudzi umwe.

¹⁶Mai si ma aver bakriorha, kai nai ande kadia shtala; trobul te anav vi len, te phiravav len te ashunen murho glaso; ai avena iek fialo bakriorha, ai iek pastuxosa.

¹⁷Nekuda kwaizvozvo Baba vanondida, nekuti ini ndinoradzika upenyu hwangu pasi, kuti ndihwutorezve.

¹⁷"O Dat drago mange ke dav murho traio, te lav les aver data palpale.

¹⁸Hakuna ungahwutora kubva kwandiri, asi ini ndinohwuradzika pasi pachangu. Simba ndinaro rekuhwuradzika pasi, uye simba ndinaro rekuhwutorazve. Uyu murairo ndakaugamuchira kuna Baba vangu.

¹⁸Khonik chi lel murho traio mandar, numa dav les me mandar. Si ma e putiera te dav les, ai si ma e putiera te lav les palpale. Kadia si o zakono kai dia ma O Dat."

¹⁹Naizvozvo kukavapozve kupesana pakati pevaJudha nekuda kwemashoko awa.

¹⁹Anda kodia le Zhiduvuria chi haliarenas mashkar pende pala kadala vorbi, ke chi pachan iek fielo.

²⁰Vazhinji vavo vakati: Une dhimoni uye unopenga; munomuteererei?

²⁰But anda lende phenenas, si le iek beng ande leste! Dzilo lo! Sostar ashunen leste?"

²¹Vamwe vakati: Mashoko awa haasi eune dhimoni; ko dhimoni ringagona kusvinudza meso emapofu here?

²¹Numa aver phenenas, "Iek manush kai si les beng ande leste nashti del duma kadia! Sar sai iek beng phutrel le iakha le korhenge?"

²²Zvino paiva nemutambo wekuvandudza paJerusarema, chaiva chando;

²²E vriama avili te keren O Dies O Baro le Zhidovongo ande Jerusalem; sas ivend.

²³Jesu ndokufamba-famba mutembere muberere raSoromoni.

²³Ai O Jesus phiravelaspe ande tampla ando kalidori le Solomonosko.

²⁴Zvino vaJudha vakamukomba, vakati kwaari: Kusvikira rinhi uchigara wakaremberedza mweya yedu? Kana uri Kristu iwe, tiudze pachena.

²⁴Le Zhiduvuria thodepe kolo lestar, ai phende leske, "Sode vriama zhi kana tu manges amen te zhanas? Phenes amenge o chachimos; "San tu O Kristo?"

²⁵Jesu akavapindura akati: Ndakakuudzai, asi hamuna kutenda; mabasa andinoita ini muzita raBaba vangu ndiwo anopupura nezvangu;

²⁵O Jesus phendia lenge, "Mai phendem tumenge, numa chi pachan ma. Le buchia kai kerav ando o anav murho Dadesko, sikaven pa mande.

²⁶asi imwi hamutendi; nekuti hamusi vemakwai angu, sezvandakareva kwamuri.

²⁶Numa tume chi pachan, ke tume chi san anda murhe bakria, sar phendem tumenge.

³²Jesu akavapindura akati: Ndakakuratidzai mabasa mazhinji akanaka kubva kuna Baba vangu; nderipi remabasa awa ramunonditakira?

³²O Jesus phendia lenge, "Sikadem tumenge but lashe buchia kai avile katar murho Dat; anda savi buchi tume mangen te shuden bax pe mande?"

³³VaJudha vakamupindura vachiti: Hatikutakiri basa rakanaka, asi kunyomba; uye nekuti iwe uri munhu unozviita Mwari.

³³Le Zhiduvuria phende, phenenas, "Nai anda ek lashi buchi ke mangas te shudas bax pe tute, numa ke rimos le Devles, ai tu san ek manush ai keres anda tute Del!"

³⁴Jesu akavapindura akati: Hazvina kunyorwa here mumurairo wenyu, zvichinzi: Ini ndakati: Muri vamwari?

³⁴O Jesus phendia lenge, "Si ramome ande tumaro zakono, Me phendem, 'Tume san dela?'

³⁵Kana akavaidza vamwari, ivo shoko raMwari rakasvika kwavari, uye rugwaro harwugoni kuputswa;

³⁵Ai ame zhanas ke e vorba le Devleski si chachi sa data ai nashtil te thol la rigate; ai O Del akhardia le dela, kodolenge kai O Del dia peske vorba.

³⁶imwi munoti kune uyo Baba vakamuita mutsvene vakamutuma panyika: Unonyomba, nekuti ndati: Ndiri Mwanakomana waMwari?

³⁶Ai man, O Dat alosardia ma ai tradia ma ande lumia. Sar, antunchi, sai phenen "Tu tromas te les o than le Devlesko," ke phendem, "Me sim O Shav le Devlesko?

³⁷Kana ndisingaiti mabasa aBaba vangu, musanditenda.

³⁷Chi pachan ma, antunchi, te na kerava le buchia murhe Dadeske.

³⁸Asi kana ndichiaita, kunyange musingatendi ini, tendai mabasa; kuti muzive nekutenda kuti Baba vari mandiri, neni mavari.

³⁸Numa te kerava le, makar tume chi pachan ma, pachan ma pala murhe buchia kai kerav, kaste te sai zhanen, ai pachan, ke O Dat si ande mande, ai me sim ando Dat."
