1 Amoo bha Afalisayo na Asadukayo bhakinhikila Yesu na kung'eha kwa kunnyupa kabhatendele naho kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga. 2 Peni Yesu kakiayanga, "Payihika makimuhi mwenga mungulongela, ‘Kilabho kwaachegha maha, mana bhwelo lubhegha nkele.’ 3 Na malabhila mungulongela ‘Lelo kwabhegha na hula, kiyaha bhwelo lubhegha lukele na mahundi ghabhegha totolo.’ Basi, mwenga mungumanya muno kufwambula midaluko kwa kulola bhwelu, peni mungulepelwa kumanya mmoneho ghwa naho ghabhoneka manjubha agha. 4 Kibheleko kya bhandu ahokelo na kyangali kuhyubhalika kwa Chapanga! Kingupala naho, peni kyapeghwa ng'obhe naho yohele ngati kyapeghwa yila naho ya Yona ghweka." Yesu kakialeka na kakibhuka.

5 Ahundwa bha Yesu pabhayombokite kumwambo ya lihibha, bhaking'amula kukita bhakilibhala kutola mangate. 6 Yesu kakiaghombela, "Mulindakile mulikingikihe na amila ya Afalisayo na Asadukayo."

7 Bhombe bhakiyanda kughombana bhombe kwa bhombe, paalongela, "Kangulongela habhu kiyaha tutola ng'obhe mangate."

8 Yesu kakimanya kyakabheghite mukulongela, ndo kakiaghombela, "Mwenga bhandu mummeghite na uhyubhalilo nchoko! Bhuli, mungughombana kyangali kutola mangate? 9 Bhuli, nkali kumanya? Bhuli mungukulugwa ng'obhe pametulite ghala mangate nhano bhakelyegha bhandu elfu nhano? Bhuli, mukimemekeha mahighalo hikapu hilingi? 10 Ebu ghala mangate saba bhakeghabhilwa bhandu elfu ncheche, bhuli mukikungana mahighalo gha hikapu hilingi. 11 Bhuli mukimanya ng'obhe kukita nikibhegha nungulongela ng'obhe na mwenga yakya mihalo ya mangate? Mulindakile na amila ya Afalisayo na Asadukayo. 12 Apo ndo ahundwa bhakimanya kukita kangulongela ng'obhe kwakya amila ya kutendekeha mangate, ngati kwakya mahundo gha Afalisayo na Asadukayo."

13 Yesu pakahikite mbande ya Kaisalia Filipi, kakiakonya ahundwa bhake, "Bhandu bhangulongela kukita Mwana ywa Mundu ndo ghani?"

14 Bhakinnyanga, "Bhangi bhangulongela kukita ndo Yohane Yunakubatisa, bhangi Eliya, bhangi Yelemia ebu yumoo ywa akaambuye."

15 Yesu kakiakonya, "Bhuli, mwenga mungulongela kukita nenga ndo ghani?"

16 Simoni Petili kakinnyanga, "Ghwenga ndo Kilisito, Mwana ywa Chapanga ywakabheghite na ubhumi."

17 Yesu kakilongela, "Mbaha ghwenga, Simoni mwana ywa Yona, kiyaha kahone mundu ywohele nhalo aghu, ngati Tate ywangu ywa Kunane ywakakubhonehite. 18 Na nenga ningukughombela, ghwenga ndo Petili na mulitalabha ali ndachenga ngwemuko lya bhandu bhanakunhyubhalila Kilisito, kangi makakala gha kiho ghatalihotola ng'obhe. 19 Ndakupegha kihughulilo kya Ubhutwa ghwa kunani, ngati lyohele lighulitata mu nnima, lyaatatwa na Kunane, na lyohele lighukihughula mu nnima, lyahughulighwa na Kunane bhubho." 20 Mbole kakiaghombela ahundwa bhake akotoke kunng'ombela mundu ywohele kukita ywombe ndo Kilisito.

21 Kutandila manjubha agho Yesu kakiyanda kuaghombela ahundwa bhake kukita yingunkwiliha kughenda ku Yelusalemu, na kumokola hibamanda hitangalo kwa mayambuho gha aghohi, akulu bha andundame na ahunda bha malaghilo na kukita yaannogha kuhwegha na linjubha lya ndatu katahyuka.

22 Apwo Petili kakintola pambwegha na kakiyanda kunlakalila, kakilongela, "Chapanga kaghatakulile kutali milando ayi, milando ayi yikotoke kukubwitukila."

23 Yesu kakinng'alambukila kakinng'ombela Petili, "Ghubhuke muulongolo gwangu, Nchipila. Ghwenga ndo kipingiko kwanenga. Ghwenga ghunguhwacha ng'obhe gha Chapanga ngati gha anabhandu."

24 Mbole, Yesu kakiaghombela ahundwa bhake, "Mundu ywohele ywakapala kubhegha nfwasi ywangu, yingunkwiliha kalileme mwene, kalutole lupingika lwake na kandughile. 25 Kiyaha ywohele ywakapala kughulopoha ubhumi ghwake kataghuhobheha. 26 Peni mundu ywakaghuhobheha ubhumi ghwake kwakya nenga kataghumokola. Bhuli, mundu katamokola niki handa pakaghumukola utopelo ghwoha ghwa unnima na kunu kanguhobheha ubhumimi ghwake? Ebu mundu katabhuha kilibhi ghani kihyengo kya ubhumi ghwake? 27 Kiyaha Mwana ywa Mundu katahika mu ukulu ghwa Tate ghwake papamu na mahoka bhake, na apo katankamuha kila mundu kubhukana na mandendelo ghake. 28 Nunguaghombela hoto, Abhegha bhangi bahapa apa bhene bhaahwegha ng'obhe kukali na kummona Mwana ywa Mundu pakahika mu Ghubhutwa ghwake."
