BSB

Nanchiibuza kulya kabiri omu boso, nampaana chigabi chiguma ch'ekumi ch'ebintu mbona.›

But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’
14
HAV
Yeesu aja aderha ntya: ‹Mbabwirire, oyu mufurhiisa w'amakooli yi wagalukire emwage ey'akwaneene, si arhali ola Mufarisaayo. Kwenge ngasi muntu yeeshi wachizamuula nj'ayandagazwa, aliko ola wachiyandagaza nj'azamuulwa.›»

“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17
