unowhokubaakanyila zila.

3 Whi lenhu unodanilila ali mutjilambanyika,

eti, ‘Baakanyani zila yaHe, mutambunudze zidlana dzidze.’ "

4 Johane waka ebvubika banhu ali mutjilambanyika, kakale esumikila bvubikiwa kwekuti banhu bahanduke, batigwe mazwibhatigwa matjinyo. 5 Banhu bekuJudiya bose nebekuJerusalema bakabhuda bakayenda kuwunli, akababvubika mugwizi gunoyi Jorodani, hule kwebvuma matjinyo abo.

6 Johane waka embala tjiyambalo tjebukuse gwekamela, akasungilila mwandabula wegukuta munhunji, edla mhaho nebutji; 7 Waka esumikila eti, "Uyapo umwe nkulu pandili unohha hule kwangu, wandisina mamo ekuti nditumbe ndisunungule mitjili yehangu dzidze. 8 Imi tjekwangu ndomubvubika nevula. Koga iye unowhomubvubika neMeya Yakayengemala."

9 Kwakakotjiti mumahhuba iyawo, Yesu Khirisitu wakaswika ebva kuNazaretha, ntunhu wekuGalile, akabvubikiwa naJohane muJorodani. 10 Tjinyolotjo etjambobhuda muvula, wakabona kudzimu kuhhuka, Meya Yakayengemala ikadelukila pehhugwi kukwe senjiba. 11 Kukawhakala whi linobva kudzimu liti, "UNkololo wangu unodikala, wandinohanhila."

12 Tjinyolotjo, Meya Yakayengemala ikawundzibila kutjilambanyika. 13 Akanobeko kutjilambanyika kwemahhuba ali makumi mana elikiwa naSatane; waka egala nemhuka dzehango, batumwa beNdzimu baka bewumbhatsha.

14 Sangwenuke, hule kwekusinobe Johane asiwa mujele, Yesu wakangina muGalile, esumikila ndebo mbuya yeNdzimu, 15 eti, "Lubaka gwalizana, bumambo gweNdzimu gwasedzela, handukani mugalemoyo ndebo mbuya."

16 Sangwenu, wakati eyenda pamhili yegungwa lekuGalile, akabona Simoni, na Andhireya nun'una waSimoni, beposela njanga mugungwa, nekuti baka bali babhati bewhobe. 17 Yesu wakati kubali, "Buyani munditobele, ndowhomuta mukabe babhati bebanhu." 18 Tjinyolotjo, bakafupatila njanga* dzabo bakawuntobela.

19 Akati atitshelele mbeli, akabona Jakobe naJohane bakololo baZebhedi, nayibo bo baka bali mukepe begambela njanga dzabo. 20 Tjinyolotjo, wakabadana bakasiya tatayi Zebhedi mukepe nebahingi banolipiwa, bakawuntobela.

21 Bakayenda kuKhaphenawume, wakangina musinagogu nsi wesabatha akadiya. 22 Banhu bakatjenamisiwa nediya kukwe. Ngobe haazotongothama sebakwali, koga waka ediya senhu unamasimba.

23 Nayigogo lubaka musinagogu yabo kwaka kuna nlume waka aligegwe nemeyambi; 24 wakadanilila eti, "Siyana naswi, tineni nawe iwe Yesu wekuNazaretha? Wahha wotipaladza kani? Ndokuziba kuti ndiwe yani, ndiwe Wakayengemala weNdzimu."

25 Yesu akayitjemela eti, "Nyalala ubhude muwunli!"

26 Meyambi yakati yawunzunguza, ikabe ibhuda muwunli, ilila newhi lipehhugwi. 27 Bose bakatjenama, kwekuti bakabhuzwana beti, "Ini ikoku? Tjidiyo tjitshwa! Ngemasimba unobudza meyambi, dzikathama tjaaleba."

28 Tjinyolotjo kwakalebgwa nekukwe, kukahhala muntunhu wose wakakombeledza Galile.

29 Hule kwayikoko bakati babhuda musinagogu bakanongina mun'umba yaSimoni na Andhireya, bena Jakobe naJohane. 30 Koga mezwale baSimoni baka balilele begwala bugwele gweluhhahhamo*, bakawumbudza nekwabo. 31 Akabe ebatola neluboko akabamilidza, bugwele gweluhhahhamo* gukapela mubali, bakatangisa bapakulila zodliwa.

32 Kukati atjibe madekwana, banhu bakahhisa bose baka begwala, nebaka baligegwe nemeyambi. 33 Nzi-nkulu wose wakakubungana pankoba. 34 Akatjidza banjinji baka begwala nghwele dzakasiyana siyana; akatata meyambi njinji asingadzibvumile kuti dzilebeleke, ngobe dzaka dziwunziba.

35 Busikwana, Yesu wakamuka akayenda kubugalo gwakanyalala enotembezela. 36 Simoni nebamwe babe bakawuntobela. 37 Bakati bawuwana bakati kuwunli, "Banhu bose banomuhaka."

38 Wakati kubali, "Ayindeni kumizi imbeli, ndinosumikila bo ko; nekuti ndiko kwandakahhila."

39 Wakayenda muGalile yose, esumikila mumasinagogu abo kakale etata nangemeyambi.

40 Kukaswika nhu kuna Yesu, nghwele wemapele, (akapfigama ewunkumbila) eti, "Hapa muda zwenyu, muna masimba enditjenesa."

41 Yesu wakawuwhila ngoni, akatambunudza luboko akawumbhata eti, "Ndoda; tjenesewa." 42 Tjinyolotjo, mapele akawunsiya akatjenesewa. 43 Akawunkowhomesedza akawunletja akayenda zwe. 44 Yesu wakati kuwunli, "Ubone kuti awutobudza nhu tjinhu; koga uyende unozwilakidza kumphirisiti, kakale upe tjibhayilo tjetjenesewa kuko selaya kwaMozisi, kuyetila kuti gube busupi kubanhu."

45 Koga iye wakati ebhuda ipapo akayenda ebudza banhu bose, akapaladzila kubanhu bose, kukadza kukata kuti Yesu asitjatubule ngina mumizi-mikulu, akanogala mutjilambanyika, banhu bakakotjihha kuwunli bebva kuntha dzose.
