Hekima 2: 1, 12- 22
| 2:1 | Maana wamesema, kujadiliana wenyewe vibaya: "Maisha yetu ni mafupi na ya kuchosha, na hakuna nafuu ndani ya mipaka ya mwanadamu, na hakuna anayekubaliwa kuwa amerudi kutoka kwa wafu. |
| 2:12 | Kwa hiyo, tuwazunguke wenye haki, kwa sababu hana faida kwetu, naye yu kinyume na matendo yetu, na anatulaumu kwa makosa yetu ya kisheria, na kutujulisha dhambi za njia yetu ya uzima. |
| 2:13 | Anaahidi kwamba ana ujuzi wa Mungu na anajiita mwana wa Mungu. |
| 2:14 | Aliumbwa kati yetu ili kufichua mawazo yetu. |
| 2:15 | Yeye ni mzito kwetu hata kumtazama, kwa maana maisha yake hayafanani na maisha ya watu wengine, na njia zake hazibadiliki. |
| 2:16 | Ni kana kwamba yeye anatuona kuwa watu wasio na maana, naye anajiepusha na njia zetu kama vile uchafu; anapendelea wapya waliohesabiwa haki, naye hujivuna kwamba ana Mungu kwa baba yake. |
| 2:17 | Hebu tuone, basi, kama maneno yake ni kweli, na tujaribu yatakayompata, na ndipo tutajua mwisho wake utakuwaje. |
| 2:18 | Kwa maana ikiwa yeye ni mwana wa kweli wa Mungu, atampokea na kumwokoa katika mikono ya watesi wake. |
| 2:19 | Hebu tumchunguze kwa matusi na mateso, ili tupate kujua uchaji wake na kujaribu subira yake. |
| 2:20 | Hebu tumhukumu kifo cha aibu sana, kwa, kulingana na maneno yake mwenyewe, Mungu atamtunza.” |
| 2:21 | Mambo haya walifikiri, na walikuwa wamekosea, kwa maana uovu wao wenyewe uliwapofusha. |
| 2:22 | Na walikuwa hawajui siri za Mungu; hawakutarajia malipo ya uadilifu, wala hakuhukumu thamani ya nafsi takatifu. |
Yohana 7: 1- 2. 10, 25- 30
| 7:1 | Kisha, baada ya mambo haya, Jesus was walking in Galilee. For he was not willing to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him. |
| 7:2 | Now the feast day of the Jews, the Feast of Tabernacles, ilikuwa karibu. |
| 7:10 | But after his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast day, not openly, but as if in secret. |
| 7:25 | Kwa hiyo, some of those from Jerusalem said: “Is he not the one whom they are seeking to kill? |
| 7:26 | Na tazama, he is speaking openly, and they say nothing to him. Could the leaders have decided that it is true this one is the Christ? |
| 7:27 | But we know him and where he is from. And when the Christ has arrived, no one will know where he is from.” |
| 7:28 | Kwa hiyo, Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: "Unanijua, and you also know where I am from. And I have not arrived of myself, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know. |
| 7:29 | I know him. For I am from him, and he has sent me.” |
| 7:30 | Kwa hiyo, they were seeking to apprehend him, and yet no one laid hands on him, kwa sababu saa yake ilikuwa haijafika bado. |
