Ruka 19:1-10

Wakapinda Jeriko, akapfuʋura napakati. Ɀino murume waiʋa’po, wainzi Zakeo; iye wakaŋga ari mukuru waʋateresi, ʋuye waiʋa mufumi; akatȿaka kuʋona Jesu, kuti ndiye ani; asi wakaŋga asiŋgagoni, nokuti wakaŋga akafupika. Ipapo akamhanyira mberi, akakwira mumuʋonde kuti amuʋone, nokuti wakaŋga opfuʋura napo. Ɀino Jesu wakati aciȿika’po, akatarira kumsoro, akati kwaari: Zakeo, kurumidza uɓuruke; nokuti nhasi ndinofanira kugara mumba mako. Iye akakurumidza kuɓuruka, akamugamucira nomufaro. Ʋose ʋakaɀiʋona, ʋakaŋuŋuna, ʋaciti: Wapinda kundogara nomurume uri mutadzi. Ipapo Zakeo akamira, akati kunaShe: Tarirai, Ishe, ndinopa ʋarombo hafu yefuma yaŋgu, ʋuye kana ndatorera mumŋe cinhu cake nokunyeŋgera, ndinomudzosera ɀaʋa ɀinna. Jesu akati kwaari: Nhasi ruponeso rwaȿika paimba ino; nokuti naiye ʋo mŋanakomana waAbrahama. Nokuti Mŋanakomana womunhu wakaʋuya kuzotȿaka nokuponesa cakarashika.
