17 Nokuti anofanira kubvuma mwanakomana weanovengwa kuti ndiye dangwe nokumupa zvikamu zviviri pazvinhu zvose zvaanenge ainazvo,+ nokuti iyeye ndiye kutanga kwesimba rake rokubereka.+ Udangwe ndohwake.+
18 “Kana munhu aine mwanakomana akasindimara uye anopandukira,+ asingateereri inzwi rababa vake kana inzwi raamai vake,+ uye ivo vakamururamisa asi iye asingavateereri,+
19 baba vake naamai vake vanofanira kumubata, vaende naye kuvarume vakuru veguta rake, kugedhi renzvimbo yake,+
20 uye ngavaudze varume vakuru veguta rake kuti, ‘Uyu mwanakomana wedu akasindimara uye anopandukira; haasi kuteerera inzwi redu,+ anokara+ uye chidhakwa.’+
