1 Moyenga mo mambya matsɨbʉ, kwabere kʉkɨnalɨ mwitsimya, Marɨa w'ɨMangɨndala mwaya kw'ɨsɨnda. Abere ahika eyo, mwalola kw'eribwe lyabyaga likingire olukyo lw'erɨsɨnda lyamalire ɨkʉmbagatsɨbwa. 2 Aho mwangʉha eyɨrɨ Simoni Petero n'eyɨrɨ ogʉndɨ mwɨga yo wabyaga atsiirwe na Yesʉ n'ɨbwɨrabo athɨ: «Bamalire ithokya omʉbɨrɨ wa Nyinya-kowethʉ wo mw'ɨsɨnda na thuthetsi nga bathwerewo hayi.» 3 Aho Petero n'ogʉndɨ mwɨga oyo, mobangʉha tsʉba n'ɨya kw'ɨsɨnda. 4 Ababɨrɨ boshi mobangʉha tsʉba nɨabathɨbɨtha, hewethuwe omwɨga oyo mwangʉha tsʉba kʉlenga Petero, mwamʉthanga kw'ɨsɨnda. 5 Ɨye mwunama n'ilungulira mw'ɨsɨnda, mwashʉnga ebɨtambara nibyamalire ihirwa emʉsɨke, hewethuwe mwathɨngɨra mʉlyo. 6 Simoni Petero yo wabyaga enyuma, mwahika n'ɨngɨra mw'ɨsɨnda. Mwashʉnga ebɨtambara nibyamalire ihirwa emʉsɨke, 7 kuthyo mwashʉnga ekɨtambara kyabyaga kishwikire omuthwe wa Yesʉ, ekɨtambara ekyo mokithahirwa hagʉma n'ebɨndɨ. Hewethuwe kyabyaga nikitsingirwe n'ihirwa ɨkyo kyene emʉsɨke. 8 Aho ogʉndɨ mwɨga yo wathangaga ihika kw'ɨsɨndana naye kuthyo mwɨngɨra mw'ɨsɨnda. Naye mwɨkɨrɨtsya abere amamala ɨyɨlolera. 9 Kʉshangwa ihika aho abɨga ba Yesʉ babyaga nibathetsi bamɨnya kw'aMashako Abuyirire owanegenire athɨ Yesʉ atholere ilubuka mo baholi*. 10 Honyuma kw'aho, abɨga babɨrɨ abo mobashʉba ewabo.

11 Mo ndambi eyo, Marɨa abyaga nimene embʉga hofɨ n'erɨsɨnda, alɨ alɨra. Abere anemʉlɨra, mwunama n'ilungulira mw'ɨsɨnda, 12 mwashʉnga bamalaɨka babɨrɨ bambithe ngɨmba sa mʉshohe nibikere ho mʉbɨrɨ wa Yesʉ abyaga abombekirwe. Omʉgʉma abyaga ikere ho habyaga omuthwe wa Yesʉ n'ogʉndɨ abyaga ikere ho habyaga ebɨshando bɨwe. 13 Abamalaɨka abo mobamʉbʉtsya bathɨ: «Mbe mʉkatsɨ, ʉlɨra bʉshana na ki?» naye mwashʉbɨtsyabo athɨ: «Kʉshangwa bathokitsye omʉbɨrɨ wa Nyinya-kowethʉ, nangye nyithetsi nga bathwerewo hayi.» 14 Abere amamala ɨnegena ebɨnwa ebyo, mwabɨndʉkɨra enyuma, mwashʉnga Yesʉ nimene aho, hewethuwe mwathamɨnya ko nɨ ɨye. 15 Yesʉ mwamʉbʉtsya athɨ: «Mʉkatsɨ, ʉlɨra bʉshana na ki? Ushondya ndɨ?» Marɨa mwaganɨtsya athɨ kʉthɨ nɨ mulimi wa mw'ɨshwa eryo, mwamʉbwɨra athɨ: «Nyinya-kowethʉ, wamabya nɨ ɨwe wahekire omʉbɨrɨ ʉwe, unyikangye aho wahirirewo nangye nyendawo ho.» 16 Yesʉ mwamʉbwɨra athɨ: «Marɨa!» Naye mwabɨndʉka, mwanegena mo kɨebʉranɨa athɨ: «Rabuni!» Nɨ ɨnegena mbʉ: «Mʉkangɨrɨtsya.» 17 Yesʉ mwamʉbwɨra athɨ: «Ʉthanyɨkolagako*, kʉshangwa nyithetsi nyagenda ewa Thatha. Hewethuwe ʉgende eyɨrɨ bagala bethʉ ʉbwɨrebo ʉthɨ: enyɨrʉkɨra ewa Thatha, naye kuthyo nɨ Thatha wenyu, ɨye nɨ Gongo waye na kuthyo nɨ Gongo wenyu.» 18 Aho Marɨa w'ɨMangɨndala mwayafʉlɨra abɨga bw'omwatsɨ kw'amashʉnga Nyinya-kowethʉ, na kw'amamʉbwɨra ebɨnwa ebyo.

19 Omw'igolo ly'ekɨro kɨsha-kɨsha ky'eyenga ekyo, abɨga mobahindana mʉ nyʉmba n'esonyuyi saro mosakɨngwa, kʉshangwa babyaga ni bubahire abakʉlʉ b'aBayuta. Aho n'aho Yesʉ mwahʉlʉkɨrabo n'imana mo kathi k'abo. Mwabwɨrabo athɨ: «Obʉholo bubye hagʉma nemwe!» 20 Abere amamala ɨnegena ebyo, mwakangyabo ebɨganza bɨwe n'olʉkanga lʉwe. Aho abɨga mobamoga babere bashʉnga Nyinya-kowethʉ. 21 Yesʉ mwashʉba bwɨrabo athɨ: «Bʉholo kw'imwe! Nga ko Thatha anyɨthʉmaga, nangye kuthyo nyamabathʉma.» 22 Abere amamala ɨnegena ebɨnwa ebyo, mwabʉha kʉbo n'ɨbwɨrabo athɨ: «Mwangɨrɨre oMʉthɨma Mwerʉ. 23 Abandʉ boshi mwandaganyɨra ebɨtsɨbʉ, bandaganyɨrwa. N'aboshi mʉthɨndaganyɨre bathɨndaganyɨrwe*.»

24 Hewethuwe Tomasɨ yo ʉnahʉlwamo «mʉhasha» yo wabyaga mʉgʉma w'oko bɨga ikumi na babɨrɨ, athabyaga hagʉma nabo Yesʉ abere ahika. 25 Abandɨ bɨga mobamʉbwɨra bathɨ: «Thwamashʉnga Nyinya-kowethʉ.» Hewethuwe Tomasɨ mwashʉbɨtsyabo athɨ: «Nyithashungire ko byuna by'emisumali mo bɨganza bɨwe, n'ihira omunwe aye mo byuna ebyo, na nyithingitsye omunwe aye mo lʉkanga lʉwe nyɨthangɨkɨrɨtsya na hake.» 26 Honyuma kw'aho, habere hahwa yenga ngʉma, abɨga ba Yesʉ mobashʉba hindana mo nyʉmba ngʉmegerera eyo, lero Tomasɨ abyaga hagʉma nabo. Namo sonyuyi sabyaga nisinakingire, Yesʉ mwashʉba hʉlʉkɨrabo, mwimana mo kathi kabo n'ɨnegena athɨ: «bʉholo kw'imwe!» 27 Honyuma kw'aho, mwabwɨra Tomasɨ athɨ: «Hira omunwe awe wo hano na ʉshʉnge ko bɨganza byaye, na lambʉla okʉboko kwawe na uhire eminwe awe y'oko lʉkanga lwaye. Ʉthashʉba thɨka-thɨka, hewethuwe wɨkɨrɨtsye lero.» 28 Tomasɨ mwashubya athɨ: «Nyinya-kowethʉ na Gongo waye!» 29 Na Yesʉ mwamʉbwɨra athɨ: «Wamɨkɨrɨtsya kʉshangwa wamanyɨshʉngako? Bagashanɨrwe abo bɨkɨrɨtsya bathanyilolireko!»

30 Yesʉ mwakangania bɨndɨ bɨmɨnyɨkalo bɨngɨ ko bɨga bʉwe byo bithashakirwe mo kɨtabo kɨno. 31 Hewethuwe bɨno mobyashakwa bʉshana mwɨkɨrɨtsye ko Yesʉ nɨ Kirisito, Mʉgala wa Gongo, na mwɨkɨrɨtsye, mʉbone bʉyɨngo mw'ɨtsɨna lɨwe.
