IMPOFU shibili nashikala mu mbali ya musebo, ku nse ya musumba wa Yeriko. Cila bushiku shilafumina ku nse, shafwaya apa kwikala apo abantu abengi balepita, no kulalomba ubwafwilisho. Lelo pali ubu bushiku, kwalaba icalacitika icalalenga shaluke.

² Awe apo pene aba bakalombalomba baumfwa fye icongo. Apo tabalemona, umo aipusha icilectika, e lyo bamweba abati: “Ni Yesu umwina Nasarete alepita!” Yesu aleya ku Yerusalemu umuku wa kulekeleshako. Lelo tali eka; ali na mabumba ya bantu abalemukonka. Ilyo baishiba uulepita, bakalombalomba batampa ukupanga icongo, balabilikisha abati: “Tubeleleni uluse, mwe Shikulu, Mwana Davidi!” Abantu bakalipa, baeba bakalombalomba ukuti baleke icongo, lelo aba baume balefwaisha ubwafwilisho.

Ilyo babaleta, balamulomba abati: “Mwe Shikulu, shibuleni amenso yesu.” Yesu “abekatilwe nkumbu” no kwikata mu menso yabo, apo pene balamona no kumona.a Lyena ukwabula no kwikata ku cani, aba bantu batampile ukulakonka Yesu.—Luka 18:35-43; Mateo 20:29-34.
