6 Ndipo pamene Yesu anali m'Betaniya, m'nyumba ya Simoni wakhate,
7 anadza kwa Iye mkazi, anali nayo nsupa yaalabastero ndi mafuta onunkhira bwino a mtengo wapatari, nawatsanulira pamutu pace, m'mene Iye analikukhala pacakudya.
8 Koma m'mene ophunzira anaona, anada mtima, nanena, Cifukwa ninji kuononga kumeneku?
9 Pakuti mafuta awa akadagulitsa ndalama zambiri, ndi kuzipatsa anthu aumphawi.
10 Koma Yesu podziwa, anati kwa iwo, Mumbvutiranji mkaziyu? popeza andicitira Ine nchito yabwino.
11 Pakuti nthawi zonse muli nao aumphawi pamodzi nanu; koma simuli ndi Ine nthawi zonse.
12 Pakuti mkaziyo, m'mene anathira mafuta awa pathupi panga, wandicitiratu ici pa kuikidwa kwanga.
