15 Honyuma kw'aho abamalaɨka abo mobamika abalishya, mobashʉba mo lʉbʉla.

25 Mo mʉgʉlʉ oyo mo muyi w'ɨYerʉsalemʉ mwabyaga mʉndʉ mʉgʉma erɨtsɨna lɨwe nɨ yo Simioni. Simioni oyo abyaga mʉndʉ athʉnganene niubahire Gongo.

Ababuthi ba Yesʉ mobamʉlethamo akolerwe ng'oMʉgomba wa Mʉsa kw'anegenire. 28 Simioni mwangɨrɨra omwana mo minwe yɨwe, mwasingya Gongo n'ɨnegena athɨ:

29 «Nyinya-kowethʉ, wamabereretsya endagane awe.

Hano wahera wanganyirika ingye mʉgombe awe nyɨfwe mo bʉholo.

30 Kʉshangwa ingye owene-wene nyamayɨshʉngɨra mo mesho aye oMushabuli wamathʉma.

31 Wamamuthegekania abye Mushabuli embere s'abandʉ boshi

32 oMushabuli ono yo kyakakala kyandakoletsya ko bandʉ boshi abandʉ b'ebɨhanda,

33 Ebɨnwa Simioni anegenaga kʉ Yesʉ mobyashwekya ababuthi bʉwe. 34 Honyuma kw'aho, Simioni mwagashanɨrabo. He mwabwɨra Marɨa nyinya w'omwana athɨ: «Shʉnga!

36 Kandɨ habyaga mʉkekʉlʉ mʉmɨnyeretsɨ erɨtsɨna lɨwe nɨ yo Ana. Abyaga mwalɨ wa Fanʉele w'omo lʉganda lwa Aseri. Ye Ana oyo mwamala omwe mo mɨaka ɨrɨnda bʉsha, iba ʉwe mwafwa. 37 Honyuma kw'aho, mwabya mʉshʉmbakatsɨ ihika kʉ mɨaka makumi mʉnanɨ n'ine.

39 Ababuthi ba Yesʉ mobamala ɨkola ebyoshi ɨkwamana n'ebithegekirwe mo Mʉgomba wa Nyinya-kowethʉ. Honyuma kw'aho, mobashʉba n'omwana mo kɨhʉgo ky'iNgalilaya, mo muyi wabo w'iNasareti.

40 Yesʉ agenda ɨshʉka n'ɨyɨra kagala. Abyaga niotswiremo bwenge n'olʉkogo lwa Gongo nɨlʉlɨ hagʉma naye.

41 Ko bʉlɨ mwaka ababuthi ba Yesʉ nɨabanaya ɨYerʉsalemʉ ko kɨro kɨkʉlʉ ky'ePasaka. 42 Yesʉ abere amayɨra mɨaka ikumi n'ibiri mwɨrʉkɨra ɨYerʉsalemʉ hagʉma n'ababuthi bʉwe ko linye ɨkwamana n'emɨbere y'aBayuta.* 43 Ebɨro by'elinye y'ePasaka byabere byahwa, ababuthi ba Yesʉ mobashʉba ewabo.
