Aliyense wolowa kudzera mwa ine adzapulumuka ndipo azidzalowa ndi kutuluka kukapeza msipu.+ 10 Wakuba amabwera ndi cholinga chofuna kudzaba, kudzapha ndi kudzawononga.+ Koma ine ndabwera kuti nkhosa zikhale ndi moyo komanso kuti zikhale nawo wochuluka. 11 Ine ndine mʼbusa wabwino.+ Mʼbusa wabwino amapereka moyo wake chifukwa cha nkhosa.+ 12 Munthu waganyu, amene si mʼbusa ndipo nkhosazo si zake, akaona mmbulu ukubwera amasiya nkhosazo nʼkuthawa. Ndiyeno mmbuluwo umazigwira nʼkuzibalalitsa. 13 Amachita zimenezi chifukwa iye ndi waganyu ndipo sasamala za nkhosazo. 14 Ine ndine mʼbusa wabwino. Nkhosa zanga ndimazidziwa ndipo nazonso zimandidziwa,+ 15 ngati mmene zilili kuti Atate amandidziwa ndipo inenso ndimadziwa Atate.+ Choncho ndikupereka moyo wanga chifukwa cha nkhosazo.+
16 Ndili ndi nkhosa zina zimene si zamʼkhola ili.+ Zimenezonso ndiyenera kuzibweretsa ndipo zidzamva mawu anga. Zidzakhala gulu limodzi ndipo mʼbusa wawo adzakhala mmodzi.+ 17 Atate amandikonda+ chifukwa chakuti ndikupereka moyo wanga+ kuti ndikaulandirenso. 18 Palibe munthu amene akuchotsa moyo wanga, koma ndikuupereka mwa kufuna kwanga. Ndili ndi mphamvu zoupereka komanso ndili ndi mphamvu zoulandiranso.+ Atate wanga ndi amene anandilamula kuti ndichite zimenezi.”*

Inali nyengo yozizira kwambiri 23 ndipo Yesu ankayenda mʼkachisimo mʼkhonde la zipilala la Solomo.+ 24 Kenako Ayuda anamuzungulira nʼkuyamba kumuuza kuti: “Kodi utivutitsa maganizo mpaka liti? Ngati ndiwedi Khristu, tiuze mosapita mʼmbali.” 25 Yesu anawayankha kuti: “Ndakuuzani kale, koma inu simukukhulupirira. Ntchito zimene ine ndikuchita mʼdzina la Atate wanga, zikundichitira umboni.+ 26 Koma inu simukukhulupirira, chifukwa si inu nkhosa zanga.+ 27 Nkhosa zanga zimamva mawu anga. Ine ndimazidziwa ndipo nkhosazo zimanditsatira.+ 28 Ndidzazipatsa moyo wosatha+ ndipo sizidzawonongeka komanso palibe amene adzazitsomphole mʼdzanja langa.+ 29 Nkhosa zimene Atate wanga andipatsa nʼzofunika kuposa zinthu zina zonse, ndipo palibe amene angazitsomphole mʼdzanja la Atate.+ 30 Ine ndi Atate ndife amodzi.”*+
