^4 (D)Naye Yesu bwe yakitegeera n’agamba nti, “Ekigendereddwa mu bulwadde buno si kufa, wabula kulaga kitiibwa kya Katonda, era n’okuweesa Omwana wa Katonda ekitiibwa.” ⁵ Yesu yali mukwano gwa Maliyamu ne Maliza ne Laazaalo, naye bwe yawulira nga Laazaalo alwadde n’ayongera n’asigala we yali ⁶ n’amalawo ennaku endala bbiri nga tanagenda gye bali. ^7 (E)Awo ennaku bbiri bwe zaayitawo n’agamba abayigirizwa be nti, “Tuddeyo e Buyudaaya.”

^8 (F)Kyokka abayigirizwa be, ne bamugamba nti, “Labbi, mu nnaku ntono ezaakayita Abayudaaya baagezaako okukutta. Ate gy’odda?”

^9 (G)Yesu n’abaddamu nti, “Essaawa ez’emisana ziwera kkumi na bbiri, era omuntu bw’atambula emisana teyeesittala kubanga aba alaba. ¹⁰ Wabula atambula ekiro ye yeesittala, kubanga omusana teguli mu ye.”

¹² Abayigirizwa ne bamugamba nti, “Mukama waffe oba yeebase anaazuukuka.” ^13 (I)Naye Yesu yayogera ku kufa kwa Laazaalo, kyokka bo abayigirizwa be ne balowooza nti ayogera ku kwebaka tulo.

¹⁴ Awo n’alyoka abategeereza ddala nti, “Laazaalo afudde. ¹⁵ Naye ku lw’obulungi bwammwe, nsanyuse kubanga ssaaliyo, mulyoke mukkirize; kale mujje tugende gy’ali.”

^16 (J)Awo Tomasi eyayitibwanga Didumo^[a] n’agamba banne nti, “Ka tugende tufiire wamu naye.”

^17 (K)Bwe baatuuka e Besaniya Yesu n’asanga nga Laazaalo yaakamala ennaku nnya mu ntaana. ^18 (L)Besaniya kyali kumpi ne Yerusaalemi, kilomita nga ssatu. ^19 (M)Abayudaaya bangi baali bazze okukubagiza Maliza ne Maliyamu olw’okufiirwa mwannyinaabwe. ^20 (N)Maliza bwe yawulira nti Yesu ajja, n’agenda okumusisinkana, kyokka Maliyamu n’asigala mu nnyumba ng’atudde. ^21 (O)Awo Maliza n’agamba Yesu nti, “Mukama wange, singa wali wano mwannyinaze teyandifudde. ^22 (P)Era kaakano mmanyi nti buli ky’onoosaba Katonda, ajja kukikuwa.”

²³ Yesu n’agamba Maliza nti, “Mwannyoko ajja kuzuukira.”

^24 (Q)Maliza n’amuddamu nti, “Mmanyi nti alizuukira ku lunaku olw’enkomerero.”

^25 (R)Yesu n’amugamba nti, “Nze kuzuukira n’obulamu; akkiriza nze newaakubadde ng’afudde, aliba mulamu, ²⁶ na buli muntu omulamu akkiriza nze talifa emirembe n’emirembe. Ekyo okikkiriza?”

^27 (S)Maliza n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange nzikiriza nti ggwe Kristo Omwana wa Katonda, ajja mu nsi.”

^28 (T)Awo Maliza bwe yamala okwogera ebyo, n’ava eri Yesu n’agenda eri Maliyamu n’amuzza ku bbali mu kyama ng’agamba nti, “Omuyigiriza azze, akuyita.” ²⁹ Maliyamu olwawulira ekyo n’asitukiramu n’agenda eri Yesu.
