1 Yesʉ mwathoka eyo, mwaya mo muyi ɨshʉkɨragamo, n'abɨga bʉwe mobamʉkwama. 2 Ekɨro ky'eSabato kyabere kyahika, mwathanga ɨkangɨrɨtsya mo sinakoki. Bangɨ mo bo bagenda abamʉhʉlɨkɨrɨtsya mobashweka kʉtsɨbʉ n'ibutsania bathɨ: «Oyu amathokya ebɨnwa byoshi ebi byo hayi? Nɨ bwenge mʉhanda ki obo ahabawa, ihika ko kɨka ky'ɨkola bɨthɨko-thɨko bɨrɨnga ebi? 3 Oyu ndɨ nɨ omʉsapate, Mʉgala wa Marɨa! Na mʉgalabo Yakobo, na Yose, na Yuta na Simoni!

Honyuma kw'aho Yesʉ agenda athimba-thimba mo mɨrongo ya mo ndambɨ-ndambɨ w'omuyi w'iNasareti alɨ akangɨrɨtsya abandʉ. 7 Mwabɨrɨkɨra abɨga bʉwe ikumi na babɨrɨ. Mwathanga ɨthʉmabo babɨrɨ babɨrɨ n'ɨhabo maka w'ɨbɨnga emɨtsɨmʉ mɨbɨ. 8 Yesʉ mwahamʉlabo athɨ: «Mʉthahekaga kɨndʉ kyoshi-kyoshi mo lʉgendo lwenyu, ɨthalɨ kɨkoma kuroshi. Mʉthahekaga mʉlamo kʉtse shaho, kʉtse faranga mo mɨfʉko enyu. 9 Mwambale bɨrato, hewethuwe mʉthambalaga koti ibiri ibiri.» 10 Mwashʉbabwɨrabo athɨ: «Na mwamakokibwa mʉ nyʉmba nyɨrebe, mubye omo ihika ko kɨro mwandathoka mo muyi oyo. 11 Na bandʉ ba mʉ mʉrongo mʉlebe bamathɨnda ibakokya n'ɨbahʉlɨkɨrɨtsya, mʉthokeko na mʉkʉngʉthe oluthuthu lwa ko bɨshando bwenyu*. Ekɨnwa eki kyabya butimo kw'ɨbo.»

12 Aho abɨga mobahongoka, mobagenda abakangɨrɨtsya abandʉ mbʉ babɨndʉke bathoke mo bɨtsɨbʉ byabo. 13 Mobagenda ababɨnga emɨtsɨmʉ mɨbɨ mɨngɨ, na mobahaka bakoni bangɨ bo mafʉtha n'ilamyabo.

14 oMwamɨ Herote mwonvwa omwatsɨ wa Yesʉ, kʉshangwa erɨtsɨna lɨwe lyabyaga nilyayire ngʉlʉ. Bandʉ bagʉma bagenda abanegena bathɨ: «Oyu nɨ Yoani Mubatisya yo walubukire!

16 Hewethuwe Herote abere onvwa omwatsɨ oyo mwanegena athɨ: «Nɨ Yoani Mubatisya yo nyahamʉlaga nyɨthɨ bamʉtseko omuthwe yo wamalubuka!» 17 Kʉshangwa nɨ Herote yowene-wene yo wahamʉlaga athɨ Yoani atsɨmbwe na ahirwe mo biriso. Byabyaga bithyo kʉshangwa Herote mwahikya Herotia, mʉka Filipo mʉgala abo. 18 Yoani agenda abwɨra Herote athɨ: «Bithahamulirwe kw'ɨwe ihikya mʉka mʉgala enyu.»

19 Bʉshana n'ekyo, Herotia mwabaga Yoani na agenda ashondya imwitha, hewethuwe mwathakotsya. 20 Herote agendaga ʉbaha Yoani, kʉshangwa abyaga nietsi ko Yoani nɨ mʉthʉnganene na mubuyirire. Bʉshana n'ekyo mwamutheya. Agenda atsɨɨra ɨhʉlɨkɨrɨtsya ebɨnwa bya Yoani, namo byanagenda ebimuthabagania kʉtsɨbʉ mo bʉlɨ ndambi agenda ahʉlɨkɨrɨtsyabyo.

21 Kɨro kɨgʉma Herotia mwabona mwanya w'itha Yoani. Kyabyaga kɨro kɨkʉlʉ ky'erɨbʉthwa lya Herote. Mo kɨro ekyo Herote mwakolera abakʉlʉ b'abashirikani bo linye n'abo lʉkengerwa b'iNgalilaya n'abimanitsi b'obuthegeki bʉwe.

22 Babere banalɨ mw'ebyo, mwalɨ wa Herotia mwɨngɨra n'ɨthanga ɨshatha. Erɨshatha lɨwe eryo molyamoya omwamɨ Herote n'abo balalɨkawa. Bʉshana n'ekyo mwabwɨra omʉthasha oyo athɨ: «Ʉnyɨshabe ekɨndʉ kyoshi-kyoshi ushashire, nangye nyakʉhakyo.»

23 Honyuma kw'aho mwalahɨtsya n'ɨnegena athɨ: «Nyakʉha ekɨndʉ kyoshi-kyoshi wanyɨshaba, na mo kyangabya kɨtse ky'obwamɨ bwaye.» 24 Omʉthasha oyo mwahʉlʉka n'ɨya bʉtsya nyinya ʉwe athɨ: «Nyɨshabe ki no malɨ?» Nyinya ʉwe mwamʉshʉbɨtsya athɨ: «Shaba omuthwe wa Yoani Mubatisya.»

25 Aho n'aho omʉthasha oyo mwashʉba tsʉba ahalɨ omwamɨ n'ɨmʉshaba athɨ: «Enyishondya ʉnyɨhe ko kathambi kano omuthwe wa Yoani Mubatisya kʉ mbale.»

26 Omwamɨ abere onvwa athyo, mwagalɨrwa kʉtsɨbʉ, hewethuwe bʉshana n'erɨlahɨtsya akolaga, na bʉshana n'abo bathalalɨkwa, mwabʉsha nga ko amʉthɨndɨra ekyo amashaba. 27 Aho n'aho omwamɨ mwathʉma mʉgʉma wa ko bashirikani bʉwe bo bagenda abamutheya n'ɨmʉhamʉla athɨ ayalethe omuthwe wa Yoani Mubatisya.

Omushirikani oyo mwaya mo biriso n'ɨyatsa Yoani y'omuthwe. 28 Honyuma kw'aho mwalethawo kʉ mbale, mwahawo omʉthasha oyo, naye mwahawo nyinya ʉwe.

29 Abɨga ba Yoani babere bonvwa omwatsɨ oyo, mobaya heka ekinda kɨwe n'ɨyathakyo mw'ɨsɨnda.

30 Abathʉmwa ba Yesʉ babere bashʉba aho abyaga, mobamʉbwɨra ebyoshi bathakola n'ebyoshi bathakangɨrɨtsya abandʉ. 31 Abandʉ bo bagenda abahikira Yesʉ n'abo bagenda abashʉbʉla, babyaga bangɨ kʉtsɨbʉ ihika ko kɨka ɨye n'abɨga bʉwe mobathabona ndambi y'erirya. Bʉshana n'ekyo Yesʉ mwabwɨra abɨga bʉwe athɨ: «Thʉgende ithwe bene handʉ hathalɨ bandʉ, bʉshana mʉlʉhʉke hake.» 32 Aho mobagenda ɨbo bene mʉ bwatho, handʉ hathalɨ bandʉ.

33 Hewethuwe bandʉ bangɨ mobashʉngabo balɨ abagenda, mobamɨnya eyo bamaya. Bʉshana n'ekyo mobahuthuka mo bɨshando ɨthoka mo miyi yoshi, abandʉ abo mobathanga Yesʉ n'abɨga bʉwe bw'eyo. 34 Yesʉ abere athoka mo bwatho, mwashʉnga muhindano mʉnene wa bandʉ. Mwafwɨrawo shashi, kʉshangwa babyaga nga mbuli sithawithe mulishya. Aho mwathanga ɨkangɨrɨtsyabo bɨnwa bɨngɨ.

35 Bwabere bwagoroba, abɨga ba Yesʉ mobayɨfʉnda hofɨ naye n'ɨmʉbwɨra bathɨ: «Hano nɨ mbwarara, n'obuthuku bo bʉno bwamahika igolo. 36 Shʉbʉtsya abandʉ aba bagende mo thʉnzalɨ na mo mɨrongo ya hofɨ-hofɨ bʉshana bayayɨgʉlɨre kalyo.»

37 Yesʉ mwashʉbɨtsyabo athɨ: «Imwe bene mʉhebo kalyo.» Nabo mobamʉbʉtsya bathɨ: «Ushondya thʉyagʉle mikati ya bɨtsere magana abɨrɨ* bya faranga bʉshana thʉherobo balyero?» 38 Yesʉ mwabʉtsyabo athɨ: «Muwithe kʉ mikati ɨngahɨ? Mwathayalola!» Babere bamamala ɨmɨnya, mobamʉbwɨra bathɨ: «Thuwithe kʉ mikati ithano na mahere abɨrɨ.»

39 Aho Yesʉ mwahamʉla abɨga bʉwe athɨ bikatsye abandʉ boshi bo ahishi ko bɨthɨ mo bithutho bithutho. 40 Mobikala bithutho bya bandʉ igana igana, na makumi athano athano. 41 Honyuma kw'aho, Yesʉ mwatsɨmba emikati ithano eyo n'amahere abɨrɨ. Mwashʉmba amesho w'elʉbʉla, mwasɨma Gongo. Mwatsitsanga emikati eyo, mwaharo abɨga bʉwe bʉshana bagabɨrero abandʉ. Na kuthyo mwagabɨra amahere abɨrɨ ayo w'oko boshi. 42 Abandʉ boshi mobalya na mobugutha. 43 Abɨga babere bashongya-shongya ebɨtse-bɨtse by'emikati na by'amahere byashibaga, mobyotsutsya bɨthonga ikumi na bɨbɨrɨ. 44 Abandʉ bo balyaga babyaga bayira bɨhʉmbɨ bɨthano.

45 Aho n'aho, Yesʉ mwahamʉla abɨga bʉwe bashambɨre mo bwatho n'ɨmʉthanga ko ʉndɨ mwishirya w'engetsɨ ko lʉhande lw'omuyi w'iBetesaita. Mo ndambi eyo, ɨye mwashiba alɨalaga omuhindano w'abandʉ. 46 Honyuma w'erɨlagabo, mwɨrʉkɨra ko kɨthwa bʉshana n'ɨya shaba Gongo. 47 Bwabere bwabya kɨro, obwatho bwabyaga nɨ bwahera mo kathi k'engetsɨ, na Yesʉ yowene ɨye abyaga nɨakɨnalɨ emʉsɨke ko kɨthaka. 48 Mwashʉnga kw'abɨga bʉwe abagalwa mw'ɨkʉba engahya kʉshangwa erɨhʉnga lyagenda erishubyabo enyuma. Bwabere bwashondya ikya, Yesʉ mwahikirabo nɨagendera elʉgʉlʉ ko metsi, na mwashondya ɨtsʉka kʉbo. 49 Nabo babere bamʉshʉnga alɨ agenda elʉgʉlʉ w'engetsɨ, mobaganɨtsya bathɨ nɨ kɨhɨndɨ, mobathanga ɨhambala, 50 kʉshangwa aboshi mobamʉshʉnga n'ɨʉbaha kʉtsɨbʉ.

Hewethuwe aho n'aho, Yesʉ mwanegena nabo athɨ: «Mʉtsɨbʉhe, n'ingye mʉthʉbahaga!» 51 Honyuma kw'aho, mwashambɨra mo bwatho bo abɨga babyagamo, n'erɨhʉnga eryo molyabombera.

53 Yesʉ n'abɨga bʉwe babere bashabʉka engetsɨ, mobahika mo kɨhʉgo ky'iNgenesareti. Mobagobeka obwatho bw'emʉsɨke w'engetsɨ. 54 Babere bathoka mo bwatho, aho n'aho abandʉ mobamɨnya Yesʉ. 55 Mobatsʉka mo kɨhʉgo kyoshi ekyo, mobathanga ɨrethera Yesʉ yo bakoni bahekirwe kʉ bipoyi ahoshi bagenda abonvwa mbʉ alɨ. 56 Bʉlɨ handʉ ho Yesʉ agenda atsʉka, mo miyi na mo mɨrongo, kʉtse mo thʉnzalɨ, abandʉ bagenda abahira abakoni mo bɨbʉga by'emihindano n'ɨmʉshaba bathɨ ahamʉle abakoni bakole ko pindo y'olʉkɨmba lʉwe kuroshi.
