1 Otu ruma, Yesu wabesenga uhanange n'ihubiri ebea eMwasi Wakonda kumunda n'eNumba ya Ongo. Ebakwakare b'ebakuhani n'ebahani b'eMyomba hima n'ebakungu b'eBayuta bamusaire nsisu, 2 bamushisha mbu: «Ebinwa bino, twiri inye ngwakukutuma karonja byo, abe inye ngwakukuninka emaa erironja byo?»

3 Yesu wasako bo mbu: «Nani nibushishange kinwa kima. Muniiri ke, 4 mbeni Yohana wakutonga emaa erirubika kuni? Kwa Ongo abe kuri ebea?» 5 Nampo, babucha ihakanyana mbu: «Kuba twamwire mbu emaa ae asaange kwa Ongo, wasetushisha mbu: ‹Bushwa nki ke ntímukumusimira?› 6 Kuba twamwire tu mbu emaa a Yohana asaa kuri ebea, ebea bati basetushura na makoi, bushwa mbu ebati basimira mbu Yohana wabesenga mutahwa wa Ongo.»

7 Nampo bamusako ke mbu: «Bate ntítosi kwakianga Yohana wakuto emaa erirubika ebea.» 8 Yesu nae were bo mbu: «Nani hotu ntabwiri mbu mu maa anye nge aronjange mo ani ebinwa mbi.»

9 Kuruma nampo, Yesu wakere ebea emushinga uno mbu: «Kwarikanga wabume uma ngu wahinganga ishwa ra misabibu. Wasombya ro bahingi bima kongo benda bamuninkange muhango mu mirime, nae wenda mu chuo cha kore matu mingi. 10 Emirime yakianga yamase, emwea ngo watuma mukori wae uma kuri ebahingi mbu bamuninke emuhango wae mu mirime. Ina ebahingi mbo bahumba emukori ngo n'imuhensa, n'imukurucha kobokobo. 11 Mine erishwa watumire tu bo umpe mukori, ina bamuhumba hotu n'imukambaa, n'imukurucha kobokobo. 12 Watumire tu bo mukori wa meta ashatu, nae hotu bamubabaya n'imutaa kumushi n'erishwa. 13 Nampo ke, minerishwa weba mbu: ‹Nasekia ke buni? Mbo! Nasetuma ke musikyani, kitwana chani, munantambi basemusubaha.› 14 Ina ebakori mbo barekia basunga emwana ngo weyange, bamwende rwanko, beba mbu: ‹Uno nge mine emwandu w'erishwa rino, kai tumushure kongo twasia na ro.› 15 Bamutinge, bamutaa kumushi n'erishwa n'imushura.

«Nampo Yesu washisha ebea mbu: Ebahingi mbi, mbeni minerishwa wamuronja bo buni? 16 Waseya kashiria ebahingi mbo n'ininka ro bampe bahingi.» Ebea barekia barukira mbo, beba mbu: «Ebinwa buri mbyo, kiro byatuhiereyo rotu!» 17 Ina Yesu wasindera bo n'iere bo mbu: «Muniri kuba eMitiro Yashurukara ino yeba buni!

‹Erikoi ratawanga n'ebimbi,

iro nge ramabese ikoi rikiri r'enkuso y'enumba.›*

18 Kinsi mwea ngu wasekireyo mu rikoi ndo wasenechaayo,

nangu wasehukirwayo na ro risemubunguraayo.»

19 Ebahani b'eMyomba n'ebakwakare b'ebakuhani barekia bamarukira mbo, basiba mbu Yesu wamakera emushinga ngo bushwa nabo. Hiha-hiha basonda imutinge, ina bakwa boba bushwa n'ebwingi bw'ebea.

20 Ebakwakare mbo b'eBayuta babucha ikairire Yesu kongo bashee kinwa chimusongere kuri emukwakare w'eBaroma. Nampo ke basonda bea, batuma bo kuri Yesu. Ebea mbo bironjanga buri bea baombokara, kai babesenga basondange itingire Yesu mu binwa byae kongo bamusibura kuri ebakwakare b'echuo. 21 Ebea mbo bamwire mbu: «eMuhani, bate twosi mbu ebinwa byebangǎ ǒngo n'ebihananga ǒngo ebea birikanga b'iira. Utwiraenga rabe mu birira bya bea, ina ǒngo uhananga bo binwa byaombokara by'ense ya Ongo. 22 Eo twiiri ke, mbeni eMyomba yitu yarisia ituwa ehoro kuri Kaisari abe anga?»

23 Ina Yesu warekia wamakengura ebwamamutea bo ebinwa mbyo, were bo mbu: 24 «Munishee kasa kikoroto kima.» Nampo ke washisha bo mbu: «Mbeni ensusanya ino yanye? N'erina rino raandikwa hano mbeni ranye?» Nabo basako mbu: «Bya Kaisari.»Ebehe by'emwami Kaisari 25 Nampo ke Yesu were bo mbu: «Kai mwendi muninka Kaisari ebikai mbi byae, na Ongo nae mbi byae.»

26 Ebea mbo ntíbakochanga imushee mo kinwa echamumutingire bo mu mbi ebyabesenga byebange we munkati n'ebea. Ina bashisharanga mu kinwa nchi chasakonga we, bakoba!

27 Kuruma nampo, Basandukayo bima beyere Yesu. (eBasandukayo nge bebangǎ mbu ebakwire batafukiyo.) 28 Bamushisha mbu: «eMuhani, Musa watwandikirenga mu kitabo ch'eMyomba buno mbu: ‹Kuba mwea wabinga na wamakwa usira mwana, munachabo wahwa ibinga emushumbakari kongo wabutire ingu warikwa bana.› 29 Ngebumbo, kwarikanga misike irinda ya bura buma. Entangi yabinga mumina, ina yakwa nti tíyasia mwana. 30 W'emeta abi nae watinge emushumbakari ngo, ina nae wakwa nti tíwabuta n'emushumbakari. 31 Kuruma nampo, w'emeta ashatu nae hotu bubo. Rabesenga bumbo-bumbo mu bati barinda. Ebati bakwanga nti tíbaributa nae anga na mwana uma. 32 Kuruma nampo emushumbakari ngo nae wakwa. 33 Mbeni ke, erotu rw'erifuka, emumina ngo wasebeseyo wanye, bushwa mbu emisike irinda iti yamubinganga?»

34 Yesu wasako bo mbu: «Mu chuo kino, ebea babingananga. 35 Ina ebea mbi ebasungwa mu makako a Ongo mbu bakomenwa ifuka mu rikime mu Bwami ebuseyayo, batabingiyo abe ibingwa. 36 Batakwiyo tu. Bushwa mbu basebeseyo buri bamaraika. Ibo nge bana ba Ongo bushwa barifuka. 37 Musa washeanga shu-shu mbu ebakwire basefukayo, ekwaandikanga we itukana n'ekitundi ch'ekasha.* Hiha nge habikira we Nyere Kuritu mbu Ongo wa Iburahimu, Ongo wa Isake na Ongo wa Yakobo.» 38 Yesu weba tu mbu: «Ongo ntí Ongo w'ebakwire, ina iwe Ongo w'ebariho; ebea bati bari ho bushwa na we.»

39 Bahani bima b'eMyomba bamwire mbu: «eMuhani, umasubya shu.» 40 Kuruma nampo, kusira mwea ingu werekanga imushisha tu kinwa kiti-kiti.

41 Kuruma n'ebinwa mbyo, Yesu washisha ebea mbu: «Bushwa nki ebea bebange mbu Kirisitu nge Mwana wa Ndauti? 42 Ntí Ndauti wisine ke ngwebanga mu kitabo ch'eSaburi mbu:

‹Nyere Kuritu Ongo wakwere Nyere Kuritu mbu:

"Rika mu kuboko kwani kw'ekwabume,

44 «Kuba Ndauti wakubikira Kirisitu mbu ‹Nyere kurwabo›, buni ke tu Kirisitu ngo ngwamubese musike wa Ndauti?»

45 Ebea bati bakianga bakiri bateange Yesu emate, were ebanafunsi bae mbu: 46 «Mukohyanga n'ebahani b'eMyomba! Ibo bashimangǎ ietana-etana na nchangi sareha-reha. Na bashimangǎ tu ikeiwa munkati n'ebea n'irika mu bitumbi bya kubusondori by'emasinangoki nanku kuriwanga ebio. 47 Banyakangǎ ebashumbakari ebikai byabo biti. Na bahemangǎ tu mahemo a mundiendie kongo basungwa n'ebea. Bushwa nancho, Ongo wasehukumuyo bo nguru!»
